On yesterday Thomas Walsh, master
mechanic Of the Louisville railroad, and
who resides at 24O Old Raleigh road, was
bitten on the body by a venomous spider.
lie a few minutes a white water blister
raised and the pain became intense. In
a short time DIR. Walsh had to 60 to bed
and was in thu greatest torment. Medi-
cal aid was at once summoned and the
necessary medicine used to ne~utralize
the poisonous effects of the bite. Late
last evening Mr.. Walsh was quite low

Colonel John H. Perry, general ticket
agent Of the Memphis and Little Rock

wedlock at Altoona, Penn, on the even

sdelphia. The Colonel is now the hap.
piest mat connected with the road. We
congratulate him upon his success, and
extend our best wishes to the happy pair

fortunes or responsibilities to interfere
with their happiness except those Of q
nild nature.

making such a misdsmeanor and imp1s.
ing upon the owner of the dog a 6ne OIL

rels up trees and make themselves gen
orally disagreeable to all visitors. Dos
owners should comply with the ordi
nance and leave their CANNES at home.
or else keep out Of the Square, where
dogs are q nuisance. The ordinance
with reference to dogs and their owners
should be enforced strictly in this re
spect. If not but few squirrels will be lef
in the Square, and those hat escape tn
dogs will of course become wild an
