A Young Girl Holds a Mad Dog.

A circumstance which occurred in SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, last week, is worthy of more than
a passing mention. Mrs. Palmeter, OF that
city, was passing aleng one of the streets,
having with her small pet dog, which all at
once showed symptoms of hydrophobia
frothing at the mouth and swapping on all
sides.
Mrs. Palmeter attempted to seize the ami.
NAL, but he eluded her grasp and attempted
to bite her, when the brave girl who accom-
panied her-her daughter, only II years of
age-caught the dog by the neck and held it
fast. calling to her mother to hasten aud get
some man to come and kill it.
The mother saw that this was the only
course and hurried away, but 1t was some
time before she could get help. When she
returned, accompanied by gentleman who
had volunteered to finish the brute, she found
the brave girl, with flushed face and flashing
eyes, hanging on to the mad creature, which
was making desperate efforts to bite her.
The dog was quickly despatched without in
jury to any one.

Mr.. n. Z. Seitz, one of the editors of the
Glen Rock, Pa. Item, visited Westminster
last week. After speaking of the Band con-
test, he says:
Westminster is quite an interesting place to
visit. The town is long and built mainly along
the pike, there being not many OF the back
streets built up. There are some very line
buildings at points in the town, the streets
are well paved and clearly, and supplied with
an abundance of shade trees. The people
are mostly engaged in merchandising aud
business traffic. There are two canning es-
Establishments in the place, one under the
nroprietorship of B. I. Shriver 4 Co, and
the other under the proprietorship OF ing
ling & Co. These establishments are dong
large business at present. The Taylor
Manufacturing Company is also located here
and has done much toward the improvement
of the place. The proprietorship OF the com
pany has recently changed, among the owners
now is Michael Schall of York, Pa, who will
no doubt give it some of his attention, and 1t
so will make it success. There is talk, how
ever, of the removal of the machinery to
point in Virginia. Such trip would be de-
trimental to the interest Of the town. lhe
Western Maryland College is located here and
as an institution does credit to the place, at
least under its present management,
pleasure of meeting the Yanderford Bros, ed
itors and publishers Of the Democratic Adro-
cate. These gentlemen have very fine build
ing especially suited for the printing business
and an Office outfit of material unequaled IN
the state, outside of the cities. They are pre-
pared to do first class work in the best OF
STYLE, and that is the class of work they turn
out, Judging from their specimens. They are
supplying as good a weekly paper, for their
large list of subscribers, as the state can pro-
duce
Col. McKelIip of the Law firm Of Smith \
McKelHp, has a very pleasant home, with all
the conveniences of a country residence IN
the middle of the town. We are especially
indebted to the Col for favors on our visit.
The hotels of the town aim to accommodate
and serve their custom, especially Is this true
of Uncle Sam of the Benford house. There
are other points of interest which may be no
ticed in the future.

We are enjoying pleasant summer weather.
There has been little need. as far as this sum
mer has gone, to seek the mountain breezes.
Farmers are beginning 10 complain for
want of rain The breezy weather we are
having is drying the ground fast, and corn,
Grass, and late potatoes will soon begin to
suffer: early potatoes are generally an album
dant crop. The corn crop is various, from
the reason that some fields had to be planted
second, and some third time. Those
fields of the first and second planting are
generally encouraging, but those of the third
planting are anything but encouraging.
Our canning factory IS ready for operation
whenever the vegetables are ripe.
Mr.. b. Metev has the foundation of his
new house cleared out and his well partly dug.
Our street committee are at work, and 1t
is to be hoped that their strength will not
give out, till they make some Improvements
where improvements are most needed.
