ANOTHER REVENUE OUrRAaE.-we are in
formed by responsible party that on Saturday,
the 4th inst, party of Revenue officials went
to the house William Walker, who lives in the
Eastatoe section of this county, and took him
from sick bed, tied his arms together, put him
behind one Of the party on q horse and tied him
to keep him from falling off, as he was too sick
to sit on horse alone or united, and carried
him to Walhalla in the midst of terrible rain
His sickness was from milksick, q terrible dis
ease we'll known in that section. Our informant
also states that Capt. Hoffman proposed to hand
cuff Mr.. Walker, but Mr.. Gary interposed and
prevented Capt. Hoffman from imposing this ad-
ditional insult and punishment upon this help
less sick man. We give the statement as it
comes to us, and direct the attention Of the
committee of the Grand Jury, who are now en-
gagged in investigating these Revenue outrages
to the same. and trust they will givo il o thor
eugh investigation and bring out all the facts
connected therewith.--Pieken Sentinel.

A SINGULAR AccIDENr.-Mr. Louis Dunno
mann, the chairman, Of tho board Of county
commissioners, while in On clubhouse on his
premises, at the corner Of Line and King streets,
on Thursday, was stung by either snake or q
viruleht spider, and was yesterday considered
by his physician to be in very critical condi-
tion. Upon first feeling the sting Mr.. Dunno
mann proceeded rapidly to his residence, but,
before he could reach his room, he fell in an
insensible state, and began immedialy to swell
to an alarming degree. DR.. c. L. Meyer was
called in, aad by prompt and vigorous antidoies
succeeded in counteracting, in q measure, the
effects Of the poison. The nature of the sting,
'ar by what kind Of insect or reptile it was in
ficted, is not known, and thorough search of
the premises will be made to solve the mystery

the good Offices of Bismarck have been largely

said, will be almost entirely required
to cover the recent contributions of
Prussia towards the German Ex-
chequer. The interest on the pub
lie debt will likewise be considera-
bly, increased, and there are other
unavoidable expenses. Unless these
interests are to be neglected, he
said, retrenchment will be almost
impossible. The influx oflarge sums
from extraordinary sources has
ceased, while the ordinary and
regular revenue is suffering from
the continued depression in trade
and does not all Y * to count upon
any sensible ao~Ition to previous
figures. The revenue is insufficient
to cover the ordinary and regular
expenditures of the State. The
means required to amend this state
of things will be found in taxes and
imposts handed over to the German
Exchequer. Meanwhile the current
expenditures will have to be partly
betrayed by loans.
The Times Berlin dispatch says
the deficit is stated to exceed sew
enteen millions of marks, and but
for the last remnant of the French
indemnity being distributed in 1876, |
