night is TWENTY-FIVE feet and rising slowly.
The village of Harlem, opposite here. is
destroyed. As far as known there is but
little damage yet from water in the river,
although there is loss in places on account
of freshets and very heavy rains. Reports
do not indicate any alarming rise as yet in
the river above this point. Two deaths by
drowning to-day, colored girl and boy.

A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch says :
A few days ago, William Pyle, g
book agent living at Delaware, was
bitten by a mad dog. He was kept
under the Influence of strong opiates,
and i, was determined TO apply q
mad stone. There 10 stone of this
character in the possession OF q fam'
lily named Depp, who broaght il
from Virginia seventy years ago.
The patient seemingly revived upon
application OF the atone, and has
been very much better since. The
stone is leaden color, about one
inch thick, with a surface of about
four inches. 1t has the appearance
of petri6ed piece Of honeycomb.
The stone was first boiled in milk
until it became bot and ell impurities
disappeared. The wound made by
the dog then washed until the sur
face began to bleed. The stone wa'
then placed upon thu wound, The
patient began to treDbIe very vi
olensly and it was thought another
paroxysm was coming on. Blood
and other impurities began to oOze
out of the top of the stone. The
trembling and nervous twitcbing
ceased and the patient became calm
Pyle is DOW 10 a fair way to re
covery.

FOOLISH LEGISLATION.

Mr.. Hulsey, of Fulton, has intro
duced bill to exempt from road
duty all professional teachers and
students attending college. We are
opposed TO all such class Legislation.
There 10 as much Justice in exempt
ing the farmer and mechanic as the
college professor. If he don't want
to work the roads, let him hire a
substitute his salary will amply
admit of it. We think Legislators
are hard pushed for something to do
when they introduce such bills. No
doubt the anxiety to "do something
to attract notoriety, and to impress
the public with the authors sagsc
ious craftsmanship, is the ruling mo-
tive that prompts the introduction of
such worthless bills. The tax pay
ers have to foot the expenses never
theless. The complaints Of the peO-
pie about such foolish Legislation are
getting TO be loud and condemna-
tory.

UNJUST.

We see that Mr.. McGregor, Of
Warren has introduced a bill to reg
ulate legal advertising by making
the rate 81 for first insertion of 100
words, and Scots for each subsequent
insertion. This is a reduction from
SO 90 to 81 30, and is manifestly IN
just aud a grievous wrong. We
trust the Legislature will not inter-
fere with the present law, unless
they can better it. In our opinion
legal advertisements should be
charged for by the square.
