y little son of deputy sheriff Logan,
has been attacked by Il very singular dis
ease at first his physician pronounced it
spinal affection but he has since altered his
opinion and III present is unable to state the
exact trouble and will await developments
for Il few days. The little fellow is not able
to stand mp or use his back or in fact any of
the upper portion of his body except his
arms, he can use his legs except for stand
ing when they fail him. 1t is certainly Il
very curious disease, aud his parents are
very m xious concerning him
Some one has hern shooting rail in our
: marshes. and whoever it may be should he
informed OH, il he can lie ioHn,; our. The
law was made 10 satisfy the gunrers in the
ncighhorhood, and if any one i'll this vicin-
ity violates it he should lie made TO suffer
the penalty. On two occasions this week,
parties who have been cabling in the neigh
borhood OF trenchtowu have found dead
birds floating at the edge OF the marshes,
which oil examination showed clearly thai
they had been shot. The attention OF the
Snortsmen ) Cluh is called to this fact.
Mr.. Geo. jackson, residing near Elk
ton, lost a valuable horse this week. He
had sent his team 10 Elkton for a lead Of
fertilizers, and when the horses We're started
up the hill from SCOTS wharf, one OF them
fell down, and by his groanin. appeared to
he suffering badly. As soon rs possible, he
was got loose from the wagon and the har-
ness removed, when he got up and was
led up the hill, where he again fell. After
some delay, Mr.. i. succeeded in getting
him home and turned him out in his field,
where he died on Wednesday. \ curious
fact in connection with this is, that he died
in the same field and very near the itlenti-
cal spot where he was foaled. Mr. Jackson
has been quite unfortunate with his stock
recently, having just lost a valuable steer,
| which he had been fattrnins for beer, and
few days since another of his horses was
injured and is now quite lame.
