EIENnISH ACT.

During the early hours of Tuesday morn
ing, the 4th inst, some wicked person set fire
to Sarah Murphy's house, occupied by James
Sullivan as tenant. Mr.. Sullivan and his
family barely escaped with their lives. They
lost nearly all their household goods and
forty dollars in cash.
On the following night some person cut off
the tail of Mr.. Sulivan's cow, about six inches
above the brush. According to Mr. Sullivan's
sworn testimony, the building appeared to
have been set on fire at or near the ground,
at the opposite end of the house from the
fiue.

Beware of Pet Dogs.
A correspondent says:

n correspondent says:
shor time ago little pet dog belonging
to the family of Rev. Daniel Sommers, former
ly of Hartford county, but now living at New
London, Pa, bit his young son, whereupon
MIR. Sommers muzzled the dog. Shortly af-
forwards Mr.. Sommers wassezed with spasms
resembling hydrophobia This was surpris-
ing, as he had not been bitten by the dog.
Subsequently slight scratch was discovered
on his wrist, into which the virus must have
been conveyed into the circulation, from the
froth of the dog, while it was being muzzled
Lobela and its auxilaries were used from the
first. In about eight days the symptoms had
all vanished and the pulse became steady.
Mr. Sommers is entirely well now.

Tile Chinese Must Stay Away.

The bill to restrict Chinese immigration,
which previously passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, was passed in the Senate on Sat-
urday. 1t provides that no American vessel
shall bring to this country at one trip, from
the Chinese dominions, more than fifteen
Cinnamon, The bill is intended to prevent
the great influx of Chinese labor on the Pa
cfic coast. As to the merits Of the law q
great deal can be said for and against it,
The struggle for life among the teeming mil
lions Of China has trained the Chinaman to
live and be contentei on the smallest quanti-
ty of food, and in the most crowded quarters.
His living expenses being reduced to the low
est point he is enabled to work for wages on
which an American OF European laborer, no
matter how economical or frugal he might
be, would be unable to support himself and
his family. The Chinese have never identi
fled themselves with our country or her
institutions They have no family ties and
do not come here to make home. As soon
as the Chinaman saves little money he
makes haste back to China to end his days
in the enjoyment of the fruits of his labor in
this country.
On the other hand, the great objection to
the bill is that it violates solemn treaty en-
tered into between the United States and
China. This treaty was not desired by the
Chinese government, but was insisted upon
by the United States, for the purpose of open
ing up trade and commerce with the Flowery
kingdom. 1t provides that the Chinese shall
enjoy the same privileges in this country that
Americans are granted in China, and that
Americans shall be placed on an equality in
China with the most favored nations. 1t ap-
pears to us that if it is necessary to restrict
Chinese immigration it would be more honor.
able to secure that object by revision of the
treaty than by violating it. Honesty is the
best policy for nations as well as for individ-
uals.
President Hayes may veto the bill, although
a great pressure is being brought to bear
upon him from the Pacific slope, 10 induce
him to sign it.
