MAD DoG.-On Sunday afternoon last, a
strange dog made its appearance in Bow
street, and the cry of "mad dog was
raised. The customary commoton on such
occasions was raised among the women and
children, and Il general stampede from the
street ensued. The dog was despatched by
Will Davis; but whether afflicted with
rabies or not is matter of some doubt
The strange canine suffered, however, the

willing to save all who would endeHU0r to
keep their vows, calling on Him for help.
The sermon ON Sunday morning last

of rest showing the WEAKNESS of san, that
of strength and our weakness, of pardon,
our sinfulness. of salvation, our lost condi-

The Rec. Thomas r. Bsechsr, leading
Congregatonalist minister living in Elmira,
n. Y, is a brother of Henry Ward Beecher
Without his brothers genius, he is yet
man of great ability and force, and pos
sesses that which II. Ward can no longer
claim-an uublemshed character.
He recently writes to the Elmira Gazette
advising that as the Lenten Season is of
ancient origin and is observed by the vast
majority of all ChrStendom as a time of
special abstinence and devotion, therefore
all denominations shall unite in its observ-
ance. This is remarkable suggestion
from such a source and another sign of the
gradual RELAX of religious thought toward
the old, settled channels. II. A. S.

OUR CASHIER SLEEPS IN PEACE.-On
Saturday last, the National Bank of Elk
ton had it's safe secured against depreda-
lions from masked burglars, whose practice
recently has been to enter the house of the
cashier, and after combining and gagging
the family compel the cashier to accompany
them to the safe and open the combination
lock. This mode of operating had become
so prevalent among the crack men, that
the ingenuity of inventors was stimulated
to produce bank lock which would make
this bold measure of the bank robber i'm
possible. A lock which operates by clock
work, called the Chrouometer Bank Lock,
has been invented by Sargent & Greenleaf,
of Rochester, n. y. This lock is made fast
to the inside of the safe door, and when
the safe is to be closed the lock is set to
run to certain hour the next morning.
When the clock machinery runs down the
bolt it holds is released, when the door can
be opened; but until the clock work has
run down, it is impossible toppen the safe.
Mr.. Tome has had one Of these chronom
eter locks put on the safes of the three
banks controlled by him, the National Bank
of Elkton, Cecil National Bank of Port
Deposit and the bank recently established
at Washington, D. c. These locks cost
$500 each, but compared with their inesti-
mable value, this price is trtiing.
Since the Elkton Bank has been supplied
with one, our gentlemanly and obliging
cashier sleeps without the fear of burg lars
entering his bed room and conducting him
down stairs with a rubber gag in his mouth
to unlock the safe for them.

A DOllss Fair

In the editorial department of the Wide
A,rake for October, plan is suggested-
which, furthermore. is to be carried out
that appeals strongly not only to the hearts
of the little girls who are called upon to
assist in it, but to those of mothers every
where. From two to eight years girls live
for their dolls. They dress them, pet thUm
and care for them with the same pleasure
and anxiety that twenty years later they
feel in watching the upcOming OF their real
children. If they can not possess wax
dolls or china, clothespins dressed up, or
folded towels, or pillows, or rolls
of rage, are made to do duty, and
the amount of happiness realized
from these humble makeshifts by the chill
dren of the poor, words can not tell. Vide
Auake suggests dolls fair for the benefit
of poor and sick children. 1t says: "In
Boston, in New York, in Chicago and other
cities, there are hospitals where fifty and
more poor children are taken care of. They
lie in their little cots, some with their
limbs drawn up and fastened with weights,
some suffering with fevers. some whOee
eyes are weak and painful, and many OF
these have no homes but the street, and no
friends but the kind women who visit
them. To them Christmas is scarcely
known. But this year We shall try
to make it, by your help, happy
event in the lives Of many OF these hes little lie
SUFFERERS. VIC DIOpOoO q uoho AohS w w
held in Boston the first part of December,
and we want each little girl who reads this
to dress doll and send it TO US to be ex-
hibited in this fair, which will be in pub
lie room in Boston. After these dolls have
been exhibited, committee of ladies will
decide upon the merits of each child's
work, and award ten prizes to the makers
of the ten best made sets Of clothing there
exhibited. After the prizes have been
awarded, all the dolls will be sent to the
sick children in hospitals. In dressing
these dolls the widest liberty is al.
lowed. Some might be dressed in the
STYLE of Quaker ladies, Martha Wash
| ingtons, Swiss peasants, Roman girls
and some as waiting maids, cooks,
etc. The prizes will be given, not for hand
some dresses, but for the best made cloth
ing" 1t is expressly stipulated that every
set of clothing must be made entirely, both
cut and sewed, by the girl who exhibits 1t,
and must be accompanied by q certificate
| from the parent or teacher of the child,
that she has worked entirely alone. Each
| exhibitor must send, on card, her Rge,
| name and postofice address. The doll Is 10

| charges or postage prepaid, to the office OF
| Wide A,yahe, Boston, before the first day

| one, and ought to stir up general enthusl-
| asm among the children the country over.
Next month the boys are to be told how

| actly in the line of doll making, but in do
