A Warning to Cat Keepers.

From the Wilmington IN. CO. ST. IN.
Yesterday morning as two ladies
were preparing their toilet, an acct
dent of perhaps a serious nature DC
CURED. The elder lady was sitting
with a large cat at her feet. Suddenly,
without warning, the animal seized
one of the legs of the lady and tore
the flesh with it's teeth and claws.
Before the younger lady, her daugh-
ter, could come to her assistance the
wounds inflicted by the cat were many
and painful. The young lady took
hold of the little enraged beast and
pulled it quickly away. The cat, in
furiated to tigerish anger, then sprang
at her, its tail swollen as large as a
human arm, and scratched her, be-
sides badly tearing her dress. A
n~eighboring gentleman was appealed
to for help. and by the aid of the young
lady's tight grip on the cats neck and
a dumb-bell in the hands of the gem
tleman, the furious creature was kill
ed. A physician was called to dress
the wounds of the elder lady, who is
aft cted with erysipelas in the LAGER
ated limb, and whose safety is a mat
ter OF anxiety.

FOR REELECTION. The following
figures Furnished by the Raleigh
News. are worthy of serious reflection,
especially by members of the Legisla-
ture:
.'The tax levied for State purposes
i'm 1867 was twelve cents on the 500 of
property, and 40 cents on the poll, in
Guiding the levy for the Insane Asylum
and t o pay interest on the public debt.
For 1873 we have no interest to pay on
the public debt, and yet the levy for
State purposes IN this year Is s. cents
on the 800 and Sill on the poll con
siderably over three times as much.
In 1857 cotton was thirteen cents per
pound. In 1878 cotton is down to Z!
cents per pound. In 1857 the general
State taxes exclusive of interest on
public debt) were under $3.50, 600. In
1873 the State taxes were over $780,
600. being an increase of %300, 600.
The increase of county extravaganza is
fully as much, making 500, 00O per
annum drawn from an impoverished
people more than was paid by a pros
porous people. In 1851 the negroes
paid "A large proportion of the taxes.
In 1878 the negroes pay little OF the
taxes ana the burden is borne by the
whites. Let US return to the ecOnOm-
ical taxes of twenty years ago, and
this 500. 900 left annually i'll h pOck>
cts of tax payers will aid greatly to
bring about a return of prosperity.

best method of keeping eggs over

the prize: "Whatever excludes the

What | found to be the most success
full method of doing SO is to place Il
small quantity of salt butter in the
palm of the left hand aud turn the
egg around in it, 50 that every pore OF
the skin is closed: then dry a suf-
ficient quantity OF bran in an oven tbe
sure YOU have the bran in an oven.
Then pack them with the small ends

eggs. until your box is full; then
place in a cool dry place. If done
when new laid. they will retain the
sweet milk and curd Of a new laid egg
for 1t least eight or ten months. Any
oil will do, but salt butter never be-
comes rancid, and a very small piece
will do a very large quantity Of eggs.
To insure freshness ! rub them WIN

Having been acquainted with DIR.
Smyth, of Burlington, for many
months, during which time I have
been professionally associated with
him on several occasions, take pleas
ure in fully recommending him as a
thoroughly educated and reliable
physician and surgeon. | am aware
that a very strong prejudice exists
among regular practitioners land in
most cases it is JUST against travelling
physicians and medical specialists, p"
and therefore l am particular to have
it understood that l regard DR.. Snyth
as q skillful and thoroughly competent
practitioner, and an honorable gentle
man. In those branches of medicine
and surgery to which DR.. Smyth gives
especial attention, have known of his
effecting most wonderful cures. In
Aural and Ophthalmic Surgery, l
consider him an honor to the profes-
sion.
