Hydrophobia among the dogs Of
West Feliclana appears to have be-
come chronic, since if we are not
mistaken, the disease has prevailed
there continuously for more than II
months and has at times been commun-
icated to cattle, horses and animals
other than dogs. The Sentinel, of the
9th, mentions the biting of several fine
hunting dogs by a dog with the rabies,
his subsequent escape and the biting of
several other dogs on another place,
and his final escape, but in a crippled
condition. We have often thought of
the great risk run by people living in
town, like Monroe for example, where
dogs are numerous and make free use
being bitten at any hour Of the twenty
four they are generally at large ina day,
by n mad dog, and then return home to
communicate the deadly prison to
some member or members of his
owners family. The writer has n
valuable watchdog and a perfect ratter,
but a dog with business all over town
and briggerty withal in free fight,
whcih he is often tempted to kill or
give away, lest he should be bitten, so
mad and bite some person. Were he
simply worthless cur, or some fancy,
trifiing mongrel of which Monroe can
count more than one hundred, all
fit subjects for the rabies and nothing
more, our dog could not live. Even
as it is, we are often seriously inclined
to dispense with his services, and risk
the chances of being overrun with rats
and preycd upon by sneak thieves.

POLITICAL NOTES.
icine?

IT is proposed to have National Jubilee Pres
ident Garfeld's recovery.
OUR Democratic friends are doing their level best
to give Foster a walk-over.
THE right thing to do, when fool begins to hint at
the assassination of public officer, is to strangle the
fool then and there.
BESIDES the great blessing of Garfeld's recovery,
the sickness has been fine advertisement for the
Washington doctors.
GUIrEAU, the scoundrel who shot the President, is
a wife-whipper. Any man who will whip his wife
has murder in his cowardly heart.
THE next time President of the United States is
inaugurated he should avoid making appointments
please anybody but himself. Then he will have no
trouble.

streets of New York. on receipt of the news of the
crime. Everybody knew the man an idiot soon
as he shouted it.
AMID the grief and gloom attendant upon the at
tempt to kill the President. Gen. Arthur has fully
demonstrated that he is great and good man, and is
satisfied with being Vice President No two men ex-
hbited more grief the calamity than Arthur and
Blaine.
AFTER the shooting of the President, the earnest
prayers of millions of men and women ascended for
his speedy The Lord has happily answered
these prayers Garfield will recover, and cure the
Republican party. So the great Republican party
gets the benefit of the prayers, after all.
1T is now proposed to present Mrs. Garfield with
$3.50 900 because she bore up heroically after the
shooting of the President. In other words, they
would pay her for not dying Mrs. Garfield is brave
good woman but there thousands of her equals IL
this country, and this money gift is piece of non
sense.
THE most disgusting ignoramus is the man wht
maintains that in case of President Garfeld's deatl
the country will be ruined. There is not in th
United States whose death would injure the Govern
ment particle There has been a great shock to th
| American people-a great horror that good man

The Possible Crisis.

The attack on President Garfield by
the crazy assassin Guiteau, has devel-
oped, in a considerable portion OF the
American people, trait which is de-
plorable IN the extreme. In case the
President should die, it is reasonable
to suppose that all his admirers would
aid Vice President Arthur to carry on
the Administration as nearly as posi-
BILE according to Garfeld's plans.
This is what Gen. Arthur would, in all
probably, attempt to do.
Yet, no sooner is Garfield placed at
deaths door than great cry is raised
against Arthur. No man with sense
enough to be outside Of an Asylum
for Idiots will for moment suppose
that Arthur or any other Republican
save the scoundrel who fired the
shot-knew anything of the assault
until after it had taken place. In
point Of ability Gen. Arthur is very
little, if any, inferior to Gen. Garfield.
In case Of Garfeld's death, Arthur
would pay no attention to factions,
but would endeavor to administer the
affairs Of the Government solely with
a view to the good of the country.
This is the man against whom some
excitable Republicans attempted to
direct the hatred Of mobs and murder
ers. The man who attempts to incite
a mob to attack fellowman, plays the
part Of coward and scoundrel
Yet there are men who would sane.
ton an attack upon Arthur similar tt
that which was made upon Garfield
These men will live to regret then
foolish talk and actions. Presiden
Garfield himself scouts the idea tina
anybody save Guiteau had anything
to do with the attempted assassina
ton.

On Tuesday evening Of last week,
man presented himself at Police
Headquarters in Washington City,
and inquired where Secretary Blaine
could be found. Ordinarily, such
question would not create any sur
prise. Mr.. Blaine is great man.
He is a warm friend of President
Garfield, and one of his trusted coun-
sellors and the Police officers, under
ordinary circumstances, would have
set the man down as an applicant for
some position in the Government
employ. But these were no ordinary
circumstances. This was no ordinary
man. This man informed the officers
that he was Dan. Mcnamara, and
that he had been commanded by God
Almighty to kill Mr.. Blaine. Upon
giving this startling information Dan.

The Judicial convention in Ports
mouth last week nominated A. G.
Thompson of Portsmouth as candidate
for Judge of the Court Of Common
Pleas. There was no opposition.
The Senatorial convention was not
held, as the committee had neglected
to issue the proper call, and Adams
county was not represented. This is
to be regretted. The district is Dem
ocratic, and a little fooling will render
it utterly impossible to elect any Re-
publican.

Roscoe COnkling.

We cannot account for the yindlc-
tive malignity with which most Of
the newspapers pursue Roscoe Conk-
ling on any other theory than that
the editors are partially insane upon
this subject. Roscoe Conkling is now
a private citizen, and why his name
should fill columns of the papers
every day, is strange.
Last fall when the Chinese forged
letter was published, Gen. Garfield
did not notice it, or make formal
denial about it for two or three days,
and the Democratic papers declared
that this was proof positive that he
had written the letter.
When President Garfield was shot,
Mr.. Conkling remained silent for two
or three days. There were twenty
millions of other citizens who did not
go through the Irish ''Keeny," and
howl and tear their hair, although
they had as much feeling as those who
made public exhibition Of them
selves.
We read in the 18th verse of the
second chapter of the Book of Job,
that when his three friends saw his
great calamity and sorrow, they sat
down upon the ground and spake not
word to him for seven days and sew
en- nights.
President Garfield was shot July I'd,
and on the 5th Mr.. Conkling sent the
following letter to. Attorney General
MacVeagh:

Still Grinding.

Crimes and accidents caused by in
temperance have been more frequent
than common during the past two
weeks. We will mention only a few
of them.
At East Saginaw, Mich, Mathew
O'Donnell, in fit of delirium tremens,
cut open his abdomen with a razor,
and died in a short time.
On the 4th of this month, at Cos
hocton, Ohio, Joseph Smith, cooper,
fell from the bridge over the Wal
honding river, and his head struck a
stone, causing fatal injuries.
At No. 300 East Forty-ninth St.,
New York, Catharine Farran was
arrested in an intoxicated condition.
With her was child ten years Of age,
also drunk. The child's name is
Mary Costello, and she says the wom-
an induced her to drink beer, which
made her drunk.
At Bellaire, Ohio, July I'd, Mart
Truxton, an employe Of Sells Circus,
got drunk and put his arm into the
cage Of a Bengal tiger. The tiger
seized his arm in its jaws and ripped
the flesh and muscles off to the bone,
both above and below the elbow. His
arm had to be taken off.
Coming nearer home, we give the
following, from the Chillicothe Gu
zette.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
Last Monday evening John Davis,
who has been employed ON the farm
of Mr.. Hugh Bell, was run over and
killed on the Toledo, Delphos & Bur-
lington railroad, about half mile
west of the depot, and within short
DISTANCE Of the wreck that occurred on
this road on the 18th Of February,
1880. Davis had been in town during
the evening, and it is stated that he
INDUCED somewhat too freely in in
toxicants. The engineer Of the 10:40
night freight saw the man on the
track, but too late to save him from
his terrible fate. The body of Davis
was mangled beyond all recognition:
Every limo was severed, and his head
was entirely cut off. A knife that
was in his pocket was bent double,
and his pocket-book was ground to
atoms, but strange to relate, a small
vial that he had on his person remained
uninjured. His remains were taken
to the Toulouse, near the depot, and
laid out by Mr.. Mat. Bonner, the un-
dertaker, the same evening. He was
buried on Tuesday morning. Mr..
Davis was son of Thornton Davis,

Mr.. Conkling hesitated to invade
the sanctity Of the Presidents sick
chamber with messages Of coincidence
until the first paroxysm of grief and
fear was over. For this the newpa-
pers generally abused him outrage
ously. Now he has sent kind and
beautifully-worded messages to Mr..

same spirit. Now the newspapers
abuse Mr.. C"nkling worse than ever.
