A Mad Ok.
A Farmers Experience with an OK Suffer-

A Farmers Experience with an OK Suffer-
ing from NydrOphObia
Reading tPs., Eagle.
A horrible scene was witnessed near
Orwigsburg, schuylkill county, Thurs
day. George Herman, well-to-do farmer,
narrowly escaped being killed by IN OK
which was suffering from hydrophobia.
A few days ago it was bitten by dog
supposed 10 be mad. Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Herman noticed that the OK act
ed strangely, and he pcnned it up in a
shed in the barn-yard. About four
O'Clock yesterday morning he was
awakened by hearing strange sounds in
the direction Of the barn. Surprising one
OF his hcrses was unweli, he went out.
and was surprised to see the OK raving
around the baznyard, uttering low means
and tearing up the ground with its horns.
When he was about twenty feet from the
animal it lowered it's head and with q
blood-curdllng roar made rush at him.
The man retained his presence of mind,
and as the animal approached him he
stepped to one side, but in doing. 50 he
was struck in the face by hoof. He
staggered to his feet and made toward a
garden fence. but the OK turned and
charged after him. The distance was
about thirty yards, and tho race was won
by the man who reached the fence, and
fairly threw himself over it. Before he
could rise from the ground there was a
terrible crash, and the OK dashed through
the fence, scattering boards right and
left and rolling headlong over Mr., Her.
man IT. 1iInsf <oL-o ,h< MON l<no- ~ o.o+
on his feet and escape over another fence
which surrounds the house. His clothes
were badly used up, and his facc was
covered with blood from the wound
caused by the kick he had received, but
he was not seriously injured.
After getting a gun and loading it
with powder and a handful ut bird shot
wrapped in i rag, Herman returned to
the fray. He found the OK paving the
ground wrathfully, and pausing occasion
ally to dig his horns viciously into it,
at the same time givin. vent to roars
that could be heard more than mile
away. The suffering animals head vas
covered with blood from cuts received
by butting its way out Of the stable, and
great quantities Of saliva issued from Its
mouth. Herman mounted a stone wall
which runs along one side Of the garden,
and from that place fired two shots at the
Infatuated bovine. The first shot took
effect in its neck and only seemed to in
crease its rage: Tor with blind fury it
charged at the stone wall and battered
its head against the stones. the second
shot, however, struck the OK in the side
and killed it. On going to the stable
where the animal had been penned the
night Lefore, Herman found the sides of
that structure completely battered to
pieces, and in another part of the yard
he found a hog weighing nearly 200
pounds dead, and gored to shapeless
mass of jelly.

The letters taken from the dead wom-

mostly answers to inquiries regarding tho
whereabouts Of her husband: An uniin-
ished letter Of her own to some friend in
the East, aud dated few. days previous
to her death, showed that to. this moor
lost creature, with the grasp of death
upon her, there had come back to her
the glory of her first and only pure
love, and the uncomfortable desire to-
die at his feet, freed from the burden of
his curse. Strangely enough, another
letter gave information of Bill Armstrong,
and stated that he lived near Boise City,
in Idaho. These two read to the des.
perate man who sat before mo, his burn
ing eyes cleaning with pain and his iii,s
mute with anguish. When ceased, he
grasped my hand with, 'sThank yer,
stranger" and left the room. watched
him modnt his horse and ride out into

shooting affair between Bill Armstrong, q
mining Spectator, and Joe the Wolf, at
Boise City, In 1878. The details of the
rencontre I give in the words Of the mar
rator, who was an eyewitness - j
"Joe met Armstrong on the street, and
and with the single exclamation, I'm

From some unaccountable reasonS he

power Of his hate, he recovered himself
As from the ashen lips rang out the old
cry, It's fourteen inches between my

on his face dead"
Thoughtfully, to-day, l sought the

Glazed Pots For Plants.

Glazed pots are condemned by most
writer's. The majority of these writer's
are greenhouse men, or those with but
little experience with growing plants in
the dry air of our parlors and living
rooms; and in watering, those in glazed
pots would naturally receive the same
supply rs those in cinnamon porous pots
alongside. The evaporation from the
porous pots wonld take place much more
rapidly than from the glazed, and the
one would be comparatively dry while
the other would he still wet. The next
watering repeats this process, and the
result is quickly seen. The plant in the
glazed pot perishcs at once, or drags out
s,ckly miserable existence. Glazed
pots can be used with good results in the
parlor or living room. If the drainage
is good, 80 that the surplus water can
pass off, there are many plants will grow
we'll in them. To this may I've added
that many people are very irregular in
watering house plants. They forget TO
attend to it untilt the dry and parched up
pearance of the earth admonishcs them Of
their neglect. Of course the plant in the
unglazcd pots suffers worse under this
treatment, for the earth ge's dry from
top to bottom, while in the glazed not,
