A Yjwinja Ssote Stoo


The topic Of conversation in Frank
lin. City for the last week has been the
death OF dog from a most singular
cause. Edward Ling, Of that place,
had a valuable dog that several weeks
ago showed symptoms Of a disease that
bafiled the skill Of every one in that
vicinity. The sides Of the dog became
distended and became almost as hard
as a stone. The animal refused food
the swelling of the sides increased, and
in weeks time he died. The case
created so much interest that the own
er held a post-morlem examination,
ut which there was found in the dogs
stomach seven good-sizei sn axes, the
largest being over two feet in length.
The snakes had been feeding on the
dogs heart, a part Of which was en-
tirely eaten away. Tue examination
was held in the presence OF some gen.
tlemen Of Franklin City; the story is
vouched for by them. An old gen.
tleman from this place informs US that
il is generally believed in some parts
Of the peninsula that if dog is bitten
by water snake, snakes will breed ia
the animal, aud that. perhaps, the
death Of the dog at Franklin City was
caused by the bite Of n water snake.
Ifsuch was the case. what has hereto
fore been considered superstition,
becomes a reality.-[Occomac Virgin

Of our protective laws, IL is suffi.

Komsn Kntsn Amona Women


The old lady who was recently
buried without a single member Of
her own sex taking part in the last
solemn rites, she having herself forbid.
den the attendance of any women,
may have had some personal caprice
to crafty or some imaginary injury to
avenge, but she is not the only woman
who has abjured her own sex. There
are many women alive, who, without
transgressing any rules of propriety,
seem TO avoid with aversion every one
who wears a petticoat; they note every
failing and foible Of other women as
mercilessly as the most confirmed
bachelor could do. They have no in
terest in womans talk and they sneer
at every thing that is called woman's
work. But, strangely enough, there
is always a way for their reformation;
their dislike of women makes them
doubly fond Of men, and man is too
helpless a creature not to return any
special marks Of appreciation, so soon
er or later all these women haters
among women are led TO the altar and
to the home, and then within a year
or two the requirements Of the house,
the stupidity Of the servants and the
necessities Of the baby bring them in
to entire accord with the interests Of
womankind. When a woman hates
women there has either been a man in
the case or man is needed.
