Hydrophobia.

Several reports have reached us of
mad dogs from different sections Of
the Comfy all Of which seem indef.
mite and mixed more or less with
suspicious rather than facts; but we
saw Mr.. Collier from the Cowcasllc
section, truthful, and, in every way,
reliable man, who states that he
saw three dogs, two o: which were
bitten by the FIRST, in the maniaca
Stage Of this disease two of the dogs
belonged to Mr.. John A.ant. A
COW on the south side of the swamp
was also bitten by thcsame wander
ing dog.
Hydrophobia appears in two diT,r
cnt forms; first, the violent form, or
rabies; second, the sLllcn form. The
first is the m,st common and that
prevailing i'll our County. This has
three ST. gcs; the mclancholic stare,
lasting from q half to three days; tue
manlac;,l stage, lasting three or four
days; and the paraly,ic stage, when
death ensues on the seventh or eighth
day.
The disease manires.s itselfin the
animal by change of behavior, be.
coming irascible, sulfen, fl lscty, con
stantiy changing position, cxtre melv
irritable, morose, and easily enruged.

How Fast Will Trees Grow.

In order to test the rapidly Of tho
growth of the different varieties Of
trees writer in Western paper
took the measurement and height Of
large number, some years ago, with
the following result:
Two Norway spruccs, set twenty
years, were five and a half feet i'll cir
cumferencc, forty feet in height, and
had spread of about twenty-six
feet in diameter. A black spruce set
fifteen years was twenty five feet in
height and proportionately large.
Two halsam frs, set sixteen years,
were thirty feet high.
A European larch, set seventeen
years, was forty two feet high and
four feet in circumference at the
base.
A Scotch pine, set eighteen years,
was twenty. six feet high.
A hard pine, set seventeen years,
was three feet eight inches in circum
ference and twenty, five feet high.
A white pine, set eighteen years,
was four feet in circumference, Will g
an Austrian, set fourteen years, was
twenty feet high.
a Russian spruce, set fifteen years,
was about fftecn feet in height.
The red ccdars and arbor vit;rs, set
fourt cen years, q, eraged twenty feet
in height. while hedge or wind
break, set entirely around an eighty
acre farm, but composed Of first row
Of ccdars set was fifteen years, which
averaged fifteen feet, next row of
Scotch pine twenty-five feet high, an d
outside Of this row Of soft naples
ranging from twenty-five to thirty feet
in height. These formed perfect
security against high winds and re-
duced the temperature in the en-
closure several degrees.
Hard naples, set twenty years,
..vcrage:l over thirty feet in height.
One soft maple, set eixhtecn years,
was fifty feet in height and six feet in
circumference at the body.
A black walnut, set sixteen years,
was four feet three inches in diane
ter, while IL sycamore, trrnsplanted
twenty years before from the timber,
was seven feet in circumference Mt the
base and fortyeight feet in height.
A silver leaf poplar, set twenty
years, was seven feet two inches in
circumference and thirtyfve feet in
h eight, and a golden willow, that
twenty years before had been stuck
into the ground Il switch, was eleven
feet eight inches in circumferences
and over forty feet high.
There were many other varieties
some Of them rare specjmens-but
enough has been shown to prove that
even our slow growing variet les, if
carefully cultivated, will, in few
years, became great trees. But they
must be taken care of and cattle kept
from them just as closely rs if they
were orchard trees, if the bestresults
are to be secured.

No POSSIBLE EXCUSE can avail Dem
crat who neglects 10 60 to the election
next Tuesday. For nearly seventeen
years the Republican party has had al
most undisputed control of the different
departments Of the State government, and
so far as the Office OF Governor is concern
ed, it has had exclusive possession during
shat time. If John F. Hartraufr ever
showed in one single instance that he was
capable of rising superior to the demands
of the State ring, and asserting his indie
pendence Of it, we are not ware Of the
fact. H0yt is the chosen nominee OF ihe
same corrupt cabal and if elected will
prove as subservieut to it as Hartrauft has
always been, The people have now an
other chance Of driving Mackey, Quay,
aud the rest of the Cameron ring from the
Executive oeice. aud if they fail to en-
b. ace the opportunity and make the most
out of it-if they crimualiy neglect to exer-
else the highest right OF freemen, given
them to secure honesty in government
= say, If they win do this in such a crisis
as the pI esent then let theta forever after
nu. Il their peace. No man can ever count

The result of next Tuesdays election
will determine whether the Cameron ring,
as il has existed in this State since 1867,
shall be perpetuated under the same men
who now control it, or whether it shall 90
down in disbOnor and disgrace, before the
Tesistless degree of an honest people. Ii is
tie question above and beyond all Others
to he decided. "Gladly would l aid your
Senator in Congress, knowing as 90 that
his energy, sagacity, ability and sense fit
him to represent in the Senate the great
common wealth that has honored him with
a seat" was what Roscoe Conkling ven
tured to say about Cameron in a speech in
Philadelphia few day ago. This New
Yoik "turkey gobbler," as Blaine aptly
styled him IN a speech some years ago in
Congress, has dared to say more in behalf
Of Cameron thar any Republican stump
orator or Republican newspaper has bad
the temerity TO say. In any other State
the idea of elec.ing to the Senate man
so utterly unfit and undescrviug as Don
Cameron would be secuted with Supreme
contempt. No man has heard a word
from him during the entire campaign. He
has been, and will continue to be, as dumb
as an oyster. Three times his fatbers's
seat in the Senate was obtained by the cor
rupt use of money, and now it is to be
handed down as an heirloom in the family.
1t is the great wonder in the Republican
politics of Peunsy ylvauia that its a5lest aud
most trusted men have no: long since as
serted their manhood, and openly rcbelled
against the impudent demands Of Gamer
onism. 1t is idle, however to waste time
in discussing the subject. If a majority
Of the voters in the State confess by their
ballots on next Tuesday that they are /
mere machines in the hands of Cameron,
to be mo ID at his own sweet will and for /
his own usOnal advancement, they have .
a perfect right thus to proclaim their own .
l;shouor. We hope for a very different .
result, and yet to do so under the present F.
aPportionment bin is something
akin to gathering grapes from thorns, or
igs from thstles.

Lilley never was in the army. Perhaps,
