A Party of Five Who Became Insane.

Some four years ago a negro man died at
Lauderdale Station, as was supposed. of by
drophobia. The day of his death he was a
raying maniac. 1t was thought best to con-
fine him, but there was trouble in getting any
one to undertake the dangerous and difficult
task. At last DR.. Kennedy, DR.. Webb and
B. I. Rush volunteered to undertaken. The
mans wife assisted them, and with great diff
fculty they succeeded in fastening handouts
upon his wrists. He died that evening. The
wife soon after went raving mad and died.
Within the last six months the three white
men engaged in the struggle with the negro to
handcuf him have gone crazy two of them
have been sent to the lunatic asylum and the
third is on his way there.-Meridian, Mss,

AN EXTRAORDINARY SToRM.-One OF the
in the Erie, Pa. Dispatch of Monday, and
reads as follows -"Brakeman Snodgrass, of
Cory, met with an accident at that place
while making coupling that has probably
never before been experienced by any man
who lived to tell the tale. He had his head
caught between the bumpers and was so hor-
ribly squeezed it was not deemed possible that
he could live, but he is now getting along
finely. His head, which was once round, was
pressed by the accident out long and slim.
He is also from one half to three-quarters or
an inch taller The terrible squeeze which
his head received has made him cross eyed,
but, strange as it may seem, his mind is as
clear and bright as it ever was"

Short Dresses and Disease.

Susan Wright, teacher in public school
in New York, has written to the Health Board
against what she calls the cruelty of parents
in attiring their children in too short dresses
Among other things, she says:-lnthe streets,
in our schools, children of tender years have
their dresses made so short that their legs are
only indiferently protected if they belong, to
the rich, and with cruel sc.ntiness it they be-
long to the poorer classes. 1t the
lives of these children are not permaturely
sacrificed, how stuped and ignorant it is for
their parents to express surprise when their
show and vanity shall have produced In their
victim the assured results-rheumatism con.
sumption, pneumonia, &c, She thinks short
dresses do more harm than bad plumbing and
lack of proper ventilation, and, in the connec-
ton, says:-''My sympathy for the poor, Ill
used children ofthe rich and poor compels me
to ask your attention to this crying abuse, and
to risk the unpopularity of putting the blame
where it rightfulIy belongs-upon physicians
too tender pocketed to make parents full
sharers in the blame which belongs to neg
lected buildings and ignorant teachers in this
murder of the innocents." The communl-
cation was referred to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cru city to Children.

The Shenandoah Valley Railroad Ex-
tension into North Carolina.

The Clark Syndicate of Philadelphia,
which bought the Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio railroad aud converted it into the Nor
folk and Western, figures largely in the
Philadelphia North american of n recent
date. Tho following is from the Anerican's
article
1.-THE new project of the Clark Rollins
Tyler syndicate is an extension of the Sheu-
andoah Valley road south of the line of the
Norfolk and Western. The Rocky Mount
branch, as surveyed. leaves the Norfolk
trunk line at Big Iick, whero the Shcnau.
doah Valley road meets it, crosses tho Blue
Ridge in tho valley of ono of tho tributaries
of the Stauntou river, and follows il to
Rocky Mouut-about thirty miles distant
along very easy grado. Tho right of way
is obtained under the Shenandoah Valley
roads charter, which includes tho privilege
of extension to Danville. 1t is admitted by
the friends of the company that this is not
necessarily local feeder only, but the be-
ginning of an extension which may, as bust.
ness opens the way for it, ultimately reach
into the undeveloped regions of N or,h Caro-
lima, and bid for the north>bound trade of
other South Atlantic States. The local busi-
ness which it is likely to secure will bo am>
ply sufficient to render its operation proftA>
BILE in the mean time. Tue narrow, gauge
connecting with tho Virginia Midland is
full of heavy grades, and there is moro mag
netic iron and manganese ore in the neigh
borhood than it can carry. a future ex-
tension of the Shenandoah Valley road still
further to Danvile would reach additional
iron-ore lands in Henry and Pittsylvania
counties, and some rich beds of steatite or
soapstone. The adjoining counties Of North
Carolina are also possessed of much mineral
wealth that is worth developing, and it is
probable that the Shenandoah Valley Com
pany intond to build on till they reach some
Atlsutic-ooast outlet of tho Louisville and
Nashville system. The undevcloped re-
sources of North Carolina have been SO lit
tie discussed in tho newspapers that worry
little is known of them outside of the par
ticular noighborhoods possessing these at>
fractions for capital, but the Shenandoah
Valleys ultimate intentions involve tho
bringing of great deal of future trade from
that prosperous section to Philadelphia
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1881-08-09
True to It's Early Love,

Eighty years ago there lived in the village
of Flatbush young fellow who had Just
begun life as a milkman. Early every morn
ing he carried his burden OF milk to tho
Brooklyn water>side, rowed his skiF across
the East river to tho Fly Market slip in New
York; and went his rounds among the cit
izens who dwelt around the Batenry. Two
years later he married girl of his own ago.
They were then Just nineteen He was
rough sort of a fellow, and as years went on
he was sometimes given to drink, as was not
unusual in those days, but for her he had
only kindness and affection. So for seventy
six years they lived together. Two years
ago the wife died at the age Of ninety-fve.
The husband was still vigorous in body, but
his mind had weakened, and when his COM
panion left him forever he could not seem to
realize the change. Ever since then he is
constantly expecting her to return from some
neighbor's house, or fancying that she is by
his side. When evening comes be calls for
his daughter, a woman far advanced 10 years,
and wants to know where "mother" can be
SO late. "Bring me the lantern" he will
say, "and will go aud find her, she must
be at one of the neighbors'." In the winter
night his daughter hears his voice summon
ing her to his bedside. "Margaret," he will
say, 81 am afraid mother is cold. Put some
moro clothes on her" And the daughter
finds that the old man has the bedclothes
thrown from his own body to where he FAM
oiSs his companion of many years is lying.
So We see how, when the mind is wander
ing, the heart keeps true to its early love-
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1881-08-09

SPEAKING "BY THE CARD."-C. 81.
Wood, Esq, of the G. & T. Ry., Port Hu-
ron, Mich, fayors our correspondent with
the following: After suffering for heafIy a
year with rheumatism, receiving treatment
from most of the best physicians of Miohi-
gan and the West. l happened to try bot
cation used fully half bottle, and its ef>
feet was almost instantaneous. I imnedi-
ately dropped all other treatment, and con-
fned myself to its use alone. After the use
of three bottles, instead of being driven to
my business, or moving about on my crutch>
es, walked from one to three miles daily
shout business. and have been free from
this horrible disease for over year, not
having the slightest twinge of it. Hence,
/ say that all medicines known to me are
useless when compared with the Old Ger
man Remedy. Use this statement when
and where it suits.
