MINERAL PARK, February 26.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The public school opened here on Monday, the Fist in stant, under the charge of Richard R. Banker, an able and experienced teacher from Wisconsin. Washing tons birthday was celebrated in this locality with considerable spirit. On that day, the first bar of bullion was cast at the mill. egg nog and cham paigne flowed like water and all hands were happy. In the evening a grand ball was given by Mir. Jas. P. Bull, and Q more pleasant and enjoyable f. me was never known in the Park.
 The mill is running night and day on Keystone ore. The Keystone mine now employs a large number of miners, and much fine ore Is being taken out of it. Teams are busy day after day hauling ore from this mine through the town to the mIll. The dis tsnce from the Keystone to the mill is about half 8 mile, the mine being at lone end of the town and the mill at the other. The hauling is easy, as it is down hill all the way. Most of the miners employed here are Corn ishmen, and every stage arriving drops two or three more of the same class of hard working and thrifty men. Mir. James Pheeby, formerly of Idaho, is now foreman of the Key stone.
 T. J. Christy has resumed work on the Metallic Accident claim, and will soon have the same in shape to work quite Q large number of men. Although the lead of this mining claim Is small, the ore is very Iich, the richest perhaps in the county, | and it certainly has paid the owner wonderful dividends, considering that it has been worked but little over 8 year. Heretofore MT. Christy has shipped the ore to San Francisco, but he will now have 1t worked here. The last lot shipped,-some eight or nine tons, ,-netted several thousand dollars.
 Strangers are daily arriving and our population IS increasing rapidly.
 l shall visit tho southern end of the county next week, and in my next letter will doubtless be able to give some interesting news from Greenwood and McCrackin Hill. W.

LETTER and ENVELOPE HEADS.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1876-09-28
Curious Case OF Spasms.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal says:
The other day a gentleman from Port
land came to Augusta, accompanied by
friend, and was stopping at the house
of Mrs. Temple. One evening, after
supper, he was sitting with his friend in
the front yard engaged in smoking. He
remarked that a fit was coming on, as
he felt the unmistakable symptoms. He
was soon rolling upon the ground, froth-
inc at his mouth, and to all appearances
in mortal agony. He made a noise
somewhat similar to the barking of a
dog. He would also try to bite. Five
persons attempted to hold him, but
were unable to do so during his most
severe commissions. The poor fellow
remained in this condition some twenty
four hours, and did not appear to be
greatly exhausted when he came to
himself. He remarked that the re-
action always came two or three days
afterward. He relates that twelve years
ago he was bitten by dog, and since
that time annually, and only once a
year, he is afflicted by these manifesto
lions that greatly resemble bydropho-
bia. He always had sufficient warning
of their coming. They occur later ey-
cry year; last year he was attacked IN
June. When he is conscious OF an ap-
proaching attack he takes the precau-
ton to lie down, or otherwise he has a
desire to pursue and bite whoever may
come in his way.

The Isle of Sark.

Sark is one of the most charming Of
the islands on the Normandy coast.
Living there is remarkably cheap. The
inhabitants can live on about E15O a
year like young turkey cocks and go
about like princes. In point OF
scenery Sark is the grandest of the
whole group of Channel islands. 1t is
only approachable by climbing cliffs
which vary from 200 to 800 feet in
height. Thepopulation is about 800 all
told. The majority of the men are
fishermen, though there are a few
farmers. The majesty of the law is
represented by the Governor, who has
nothing else to do than to go out shoot
ing and fishing. He is assisted in do
ing nothing by the one policeman, who
lives at the lookup, or prison, as 1t IS
ironically called. His wife also lives
there and acts as a sort of warden when
required. But as no one has been locked
up for the last eleven or twelve years
and that was the first case since good
ness knows when-the drumming IN y
powers of said policeman and strength
of locks of the prison are not often tired.
There is one drawback to Sark, and
that is there is steamer only about
once a week, and less often in very
rough weather during the winter, so
that it sometimes happens that one IS a
complete fixture there.

Another Spanish Outrage.

News has been received in this city
of another brutal outrage committed by
the SpaniardS in the City of Havana
on q naturalized American citizen. 1t
appears that DR.. Jose Il. SimOni, resi-
dent of this city, of about 50 years of
age, was passenger on board of the
steamer City of HaYana, having taken
his passage from Progreso, in Mexico, to
New York, by way of Havana. Upon
the arrival of the vessel at that port he
was invited to 90 ashore and pay a
short visit to the city. While descend
ing the ladder leading to boat, and
hesitating if he should 90, he was sud
denly seized from behind by two police
officials, who had been on board the
City of Havana, and forced into boat
of theirs. The old man struggled with
desperation to get away from his cap
tors, but did not succeed. .I
One of the officers of the City of Ha-
yana had the courage, however, to jump
into the boat, and accompanied the
prisoner ashore. The old gentleman
was then taken before Capt.-Gen. JOv-
ellar, who Immediately released him.
He prudently rejoined his steamer, and
arrived in the city last night. United
States Consul General Hall came on
board the steamer, and actedwith great
energy. The explanation of the whole
matter is that Or. Simoni is the father
in-law of the late celebrated Cuban pa
triot, Gen. Ignacio AgramOnte. DR..
Simoni has received severe internal in
juries. His body is covered with con-
tusions, and his clothes, during the
struggle, were torn to rags.-NeW York
Herald.
