InexpiIcabio Conduct OF North Carolina

InexplIcAblo C0nuuCt OF NORM carolina
Cnrs.
CHARLOTTE, March 20.-A very remark.
able occurrence at Shoe Heel, small town
between this city and Wilmington, has
Just stirred up the whole section Of Coun.
Try contiguous thereto. Mr.. W. D. Bald.
win, a highly respectable citizen, Of the
firm OF W. D. Baldwin 4 Co.,, merchants,
was returning on Friday night from q trip
on horseback 10 the country, when, on
nearing the town about midnight, he was
lutiously attacked by O pack OF fifteen
or twenty dogs. They bit the horse
he was riding, caught the bridle
In their teeth pulled the Btiffups from
Mr., Baldwin's feet and m ade frantic efforts
TO tear him from the saddle. Finding that
he could not scare them of be put Bpufs
10 his horse and rode for his life, followed
by the yelping, batking, biting pack Of
ours into the heart OF the town, their
glating eyes and protrudiDg tongues pro.
claiming them bent upon bis destruction.
The citizens were aroused and came 10 Mr..
Baldwln's rescue with guns and pistols,
and the iniufiated beasts we're compelled
10 take 10 the weeds, where they remained
until Sunday, attacking and .cfippllng
grown cattle. By that time the excite.
ment had greatly increased and the dan.
ger was go manifest that the Shoe Heel
Rifles, the military company Of that place,
were called out TO hunt the dogs, the peo.
pie Of the neighhofhood joining ln the
pursuit, and after whole day spent In
The effort the pack was broken up, many
Of the dogs having been killed.
The curious part about the whole story
iS that the dogs belonged to people In and
around Shoe Heel, and no one has yet
been able 10 explain their conduct OF "a
account tof their combination.
HydFophobia was suggested, but those
who witnessed their behavior say that Il
was not such as 10 justify this theory.

attitude toward ex Senator Matthews:

appointment, in fairness to the Admins.

men who know Ohio politics are aware,
has NO sort Of admiration for Matthews as
q politician, He has more Than once
antagonized him sharply ON the
currency question and the silver Ques.
ton, and might, II he were q man
to cherish resentments, feel aggrieved
at Matthews pushing him aside, by the
help Of Mr.. Hayes, in the Senatorial elec.
ton Of 1877. But he has great respect
Tor Matthews as q iurist, believes that he
has unusual talents in that direction, and
will soon take rank on the Supreme Bench
among the most eminent men who have
sat there, and Is content To let time dem.
onstrate the wisdom Of an appointment
which Is evidently an unpopular one, II
