An old lady living near Salisbury, N. c.,
has performed one of the most astonishing
feats on record. Two negroes entered the
house to commit a robbery. The old gentle
man refused to say where his money was
placed, and in the scuffie one of the negroes
fired on him, the bullet taking effect in his
mouth, CHANGING over the jaw bone. His wife
who was over fifty years of age, struck the
negro over the head with spade, and instead
of that weapon being demolished by the shock
it broke his skull, killing him, and the other
assailant fed.

LETTER OF Hon. NJ. BLAIR.-The following
letter was sent to the Committee of Invitation
of the grand jolifcation meeting of the De-
mocracy held at Cumberland on the 18th ult
Messrs Spates, CahM and Hediey, Committee.
GENTLEMEN IL thank you for the honor of
your invitation TO be present with you at your
jolitication tomorrow night and regret sim
cerely that it will be out of my power 10 be
personally present But my heart will be with
you in your rejoicing. Never has the voice Of
our great and patriotic people filled my heart
with more joy than did its thunder tones on
Tuesday. My own confidence was still strong
that they would some day rise up, assert their
mastery over the Government purge il of the
carpe-haggers, and corruptions that seemed
to be sapping its foundations, and put down
the stupid tyranny that was lying waste the
finest portions Of our country but saw that
many true men here were filled with distrust
for the future Of our country by the failure Of
our repeated efforts 10 rescue the Government
from these plunderers during the past nine
long years, because they were enabled TO keep
alive sectional jealousy. In our present tri-
umph, therefore, peace and good feeling and
honest government for our whole country,
again energies after long eclipse to gladden.
the whole people Ii is one of the most graft
fving circumstances IN this grand victory, that
our own district is redeemed by the election Of
William Walsh, who is one of natures noble
men, and that old Montgomery is the banner
county in the triumph.
Yours truly,
MONTGOMERY BLAIR,

REAL ByDROpHOBIA At List

The death of Mr.. Butler by hydrophobia is
the most notable event in the history of that
disease. For quarter of q century Mr.. Butler
has been sort of local authority on all mat
tiers pertaining to canine pets, and he was not
less widely known in sporting circles as dog
fancier than among all classes in the commu-
nifty as the man to consult upon all matters
concerning dogs, from the trimming of their
ears to their gravest maladies. Like all men
who have had much to do with dogs,
he laughed at the popular notion about their
tendency to madness, and has written fire.
quently on the subject, decrying the common
fear of hydrophobia. His letters have in past
years been widely published. He doubted
whether the disease of canine madness had o
real existence, and he was quite convinced
that at oil events its occurrence is so rare
that there is no need Of taking precautions
against it. The conviction has cost him his
