A Child Bitten hz Rats.

One day last week eolored woman named An
dersOn, living near Seaford, left her child in the
cradle for few moments, and went out of doors
to attend to some work. She had been out but q
short time when the screams Of the child attracted
her attention, and she rushed into the house. As
she did so a sight met her gaze that for moment
completely paralyZed her. Running about the
floor and jumping from the cradle, in the endeavor
to- escape, were large number Of house rats. At
last realizing the situation Of her child, she has
tened to the cradle and quickly picked 1t up. 1t

Its arms was considerably swollen. A doctor was
sent for, who applied the proper remedy, and the
child is now out Of danger.-WiImtngton (DsL)

warrant was issued, and Samuel Smith brought
in, but on condition that he would submit to hav-
ing the dog shot by the officer, Mr.. Birney en-

went cunning for the dog, and, finding It chained
up in the usual place, let fly shot, and there
was one dog less. Subsequently he discovered
that Smith had played sharp trick on him by

Own, and thus the officer killed the wrong dog.
A new warrant was then obtained and smith was
brought into the court again, when the case was
explained to Judge Smell, who compelled Smith
to give $50 bonds TO carry out his orders 20 have
the right dog shot; so Officer Reese will have an
