Now that we have heard the other side of
the story, the Augusta despatch stating that
Brunswick father claimed 1925 from the
State on the rather startling declaration that
his son had died in consequence of cruel
treatment received while at the Reform
School, is far from the truth. The fact is
that the boy was discharged from the instit,-
ton before the expiration of his sentence
and was in good health at the time and died
of quick consumption, contracted after leav-
ing the school.

impending Flood.

There is good-or bad-prospect of fresbet
this year which shall make history for the
denizens of tie Penobscot Valley. The Ban
gor Commercial arithmetic man has been
wrestling with the mathematics of the matter
and estimates that on the 5000 square miles
drained by the Penobscot River there is an
average depth of five feet of snow holding at
least foot and half Of water giving a
grand total of three hundred til )usand million
t5co,ooo,oOo,0OO) cubic feet of water to be
disposed ofby absorption into the earth, evapo-
ration into the air or transportation through
the river channel to the sea. In the heaviest
freshet on record it is estimated that e.OO0.-
900 cubic feet of water passed Bangor each
minute. At this rate it would require thirty
five days to carry off the snow. Should the
bulk of the snow be held back until the mid
die of April, as seems quite possible, land then
under the influence of warm rains and hot
sun, be set in motion in fifteen or twenty
days, the Bangoreans will be likely to have
more water than their tastes require, especial
iy as they are reputed to have no marked nat
nra. love for the article. '9J'7' =

SHoERs' STRIKE.-It will be seen that Judge
Parmenter has given his decision, holding Hor-
gan, one of the striking horse-shoefs, over to
the Superior Court on both complaints. The
decision turns mainly upon the Judges opinion
prohibits injury to. the person or property of
another, for the sake of pecuniary advantage.
This is a very significant judicial action. 1t
shows that when combinations pass beyond
their legitimate object of binding those who
voluntarily assent to them and interior with
the rights of others, they cannot be justified in
the courts. The principle is a vital one, and
and may yet be found to have wide applica-
ton, which it would be well for all parties to
heed in season-Bostofa Journal ~

ANOTHER GooD THING IN CHICAGO. The
Mayor of Chicago who has shown himself on
several occasions man of considerable ''back-

Council endorsing the suggestion of the Police

large proportion of the brawls, assaults anu
murders which swell the criminal fecofo ~ ,i.'
citv are committed about and after midnish.,
and that MANY of them would be prevented If
the drinking places were closed. He adds Sig
n mfr that the members of the police force
xonld be less exposed to temptation if these
ycre closed. According to the Chicago Post,
the better class of the saloon keepers them
selves are in favor of The movement, and it is
improbable that serious opposition will be de-
veloped in any quarter. The persons most af-

Strange Conduct Of n DO2-Deafh In
the sUtfer.


A few days ago there might have been
seen on Franklin street between Seventh
and Eighth poor, halt-staryed, and, to add
to his other atflictions, one-eyed dog, who
seemed to have neither home nor friends.
Snarled and snapped at by those of his own
race, and stoned and kicked by the boys of
the neighborhood, he finally took refuge
under the steps of a neighboring house.
Nor did he find the rest here his condition so
much required, for even here he was poked
at with sticks in the hands of small boys, and
the flies swarmed around the bad eye, while
out of the other he looked imploringly upon
his tormentors with as much rs to say,
" Please let me alone, am sick and starv-
ing"
After little while he started from this
p0sition with wild look in Ills one eye, and,
staggering to the street, fell down as if from
exhaustion, with his head pointing towards
the centre of the street and resting on bis
fore-paws. BY this time the attention OF
some passers-by had been attracted by thi:
strange conduct but in the next moment
there came along Il Spring-WaSon at a goot
speed, and in spite Of the shouts OF the
driver the dog failed TO get out OF the way
and the wheels passed over his neck. liz
stood up and gave one yell Of anguish, stag.
gcred to the gutter, and fell dead!
Was this case of suicide? Perhaps he
might have felt as described in the doggerel

Card from Drum Mo jor Pulling.
RocKBRIDGE ALUM SPRINGS,
September II, 1873. )
To The Editors of The DisDdtch


To the Editors of the Dispatch:
From local in the Dispatch Of the 18th
instant l was surprised to notice the action
of the Executive Board of the First Regi.
ment Virginia Volunteers at n meeting on
the night of the 18th, in which they pro-
posed to disband the First Regiment Drum
Corps. .,-.a
Now, gentlemen, I know from your pre-
vious course you are averse to seeing man
placed in a false position !; and as the action
published as it is) of the Board indirectly
reflects uron me, ! hope you will do me the
kindness to say, in reference to the local ~
question, that / never sought the position OF
Drum. Major of the First Regiment, and that
I.would not consent to accept the position
until had been repeatedly and earnestly
solicited to do so by some Of the very OIL
GERS who now propose to disband the corps
which, however, they cannot do, as, accord
ing to an act OF the General Assembly, that
duty devolves alone upon the regimenta
commander. -..-. t
Just before leaving the city I was fire.
quently approached and congratulated OF
the high state of proficiency that the corps
had attained, to which generous press and
public have so often added their testimony
and it seems strange that these gentlemen
should thus so unceremoniously attempt tC
cut off my head without giving me tht
slightest indication as TO their intentions.
The first hint had Of the action of tht
Board was through the columns OF YOU
most excellent paper, which seems to be a:
welcome here as it is widespread.
Very respectfully,
J. THOMAS PULLING.
