TERRIBLE ATTACK By VICIOUS HORSE
Last Friday as Joseph H. Smith was crossing q
field on Mr.. VIM. II. Thompson's farm, at
Union Cross Roads, horse belonging to Mr..
Thompson came up to him in an apparently
friendly manner. As the animal approached, Mr..
Smith waved his hand, when the horse walked off
q few steps and lowered Its head as if taking
bite Of grass. Mr.. Smith paid no more atten-
tion to the matter, and walked on. A moment
afterwards he heard the rapid sound of hoofs,
and turning around saw the horse running to-
wards him at full speed. Before he could get
out of the way the horse was upon him. Rear
Ing up the brute struck him with its fore-feet
knocking him down. The horse then made q
savage attack upon him, seizing him by the
back of his neck and endeavoring to shake him
as terrier does a rat. Every time MIR. Smith
attempted to rise the horse renewed the attack,
biting him severely about the back and neck
Mr.. VIM. G. Mccoy, who was in Mr.. Thomp-
sons house, heard Mr. Smiths cries for help,
and going to the spot found him lying on the
ground, the horse kneeling upon his body with
Its fore feet and biting Its victim in the most
savage manner. Mr.. Mccoy seized q large stone
and threw it at the horse, causing 1t to desist.-
| He then assisted Mr.. Smith to rise and helped
him to get to the house, the Infatuated horse
following and attempting to renew the attack.
| Upon getting into the lane leading from the
barn to the house, the horse cleared the fence
with bound and rushed at Mr.. Smith again
Mr.. Thompson then arrived on the scene and it
required the exertions of both Mr.. Thompson
and Mr.. Mccoy to keep the brute off until Mr..
Smith was safely lodged in the house. DR., Silas
scarboro dressed Mr.. Smiths wounds, which
are painful but not dangerous.
The horse has frequently before attacked per-
sons for whom he felt dislike. He once reared
up and struck Mr.. Thompsons son on the
breast, injuring him severely. Another time he
seized Mr.. Thompson's arm with his teeth and
tore ont piece of the flesh, With some per-
sons he is gentle enough but Others can only
go near him ut the risk of their lives. MIR.
Smith had never had anything TO do with the
horse and was nacquainted with its vicious
| propensties.

Mr.. BIaine's Eulogy on Garfield.

The Garfield Memorial Services were held
in the Capitol, at Washington, on Monday
The great feature of the occasion was Hon.
James G. Blaine's eulogy upon the dead
President. Those who expected to hear
fierce denunciation of the stalwarts, and the
charge that their attitude towards President
Garfield melted Guiteau to murder him, were
greatly disappointed. Mr. Blaine's address
contained nothing of the sort. 1t was sim
Pile, straight forward sketch of the ancestry,
carly life, struggles and success of James A.
Garfield He spoke of the desire OF President
Garfield to harmonic the sections, and of his
intention to visit the South for this pur-
pose. In regard to the controversy with the
stalwart element of the Republican party,
Mr. Blaine declared that President Garfield
was never for one moment actuated by any
motive of gain for himself or others. He did
not have the pride of consistency, which
would prevent him from surrendering point
once taken, when shown to be in the wrong !;
but he believed that the true prerogatives of
OF the Executive were involved in the issue
raised, and that it was his duty to maintain
these prerogatiyes.
The story of the murder, of which MIR.
Blaine was an eyewitness; of the Presidents
long and painful suffering and happy release
by death, were pathetcally dwelt upon in
conclusion, by Mr. Blaine.

NEEDLESS GENERosITY.--The Senate of
the United States last week voted to place
General Grant on the retired list of the army
with the rank and grade Of General, which
will entitle him To a salary of $4,000 year
as long as he lives. Congress raised the
Presidential salary from $25 900 to $4,000 n
wear, Tor Grants benefit In addition to the
valuable presents of houses, &c, he has from
time to time received, he has an income of
$4,000 year from fund raised by his adj
mirers some time ago. Besides he is hand
somely paid for the use of his name in con-
