Near. st. Clara, Doddridge county,
just over the Lewis county line, is a
well of natural I've water. The we'll
was originally sunk for the purpose
of procuring water to run nm engine
to grist mill. 1t seems that while
digging the we'll, rock was struck
and drilled into about feet, when n
strong vein of water began to flow.
After necessary arrangements the boil
er was filled from the we'll, but all Mt
tempts TO raise steam proved unsuc-
cessful, and the water on becoming
heated foamed and boiled over. Up.
on examination it wns found that tho
vein was ofthe exactnatnre Of lyc wa
ter. The we'll and mill belongs to
Mr. Joseph Hernn, ofSt. Clara. Our
correspondent statos that he examin>
ed the water and found it possessed a
slick feeling similar to strong lye wa
ter, and that he was given piece of
beautiful white soap made from this
water and grease, without any other
igrcdient. Mr.. and Mrs. Hernn are
Germans, and are responsible and
trustworthy.-Weston Democrat.

a Narrow Escape. lon Sunday ngiht
Miss Maggie Christie, daughter OF
Geo. S. Christie, of this place, went
out TO the cistern in the yard to get
drink of fresh water. For some
cause or other the top had been left
open for the night, and Miss Christie
not being aware OF this fell into the
cistern, which was nearly full of wa
ter. Her cries and struggles caused
her sisters IN the house TO rush out,
and one of them had the forethought
to get a limb from a fruit tree and
thrust it to her struggling sister in
time to prevent her from drowning,
although she had gone down the sec
ond time. With this aid her head was
kept above water until a colored man
who heard the cries came TO the res
cue and succeeded in getting her out.
Her father was at church when the
accident occurred, and there was no
male person about the premises. This
was very narrow escape, and the
many friends of tho young lady re-
joice with her.-Harrisonburg Regis
ter, May 20.

The BITE OF A Map Doc NOT AL
WAYS FATAL.-The bite OF a mad dog
it would appear, is not so fatal as is
generally supposed. A report upon
the subject for the Department Of the
Seine. issue by the Paris Prefecture
OF Police for the pnst three years,
shows that OF one hundred and fifty
SIX persons bitten by rabid dogs i'm
1881 eighty died; in 1882, nine out
OF sixty-seven bitten died & in 1888,
five only out of forty-five. With re,
gard to the treatment of the bite of a
rabid animal, the experience of the
French. doctors show that the only re-
NEEDY which can be depended upon
to destroy the virus is the prompt ap-
plication to the wound Of cautery by
red hot iron. Twenty PERSONS died
of hydrophobia in the Department of
the Seine in 1881, nine in 1892,
and four IL 1888, as fer as the official
returns show. The decreasing num-
Der OF deaths from this cause is attri-
buted to the stricter measures adopted
with regard to owuerless dogs. Dnr,
ing the three years mentioned IL ,564
stray dogs were captured in Paris aud
the department, and destroyed. st.

A Singular Phenomenon "A most
singular phenomenon occurred recent
~ near Colesburg, in Hardin County,
20. During the severe rainstorm
that was then raging, bolt of light
nlng struck chestnut tree near the
place and entirely demolished it, with
the exception ofone limb. The trunk
and even the smallest branches were
shattered to splinters, the fragments,
scattered far and wide, some being
driven into the ground and others
hurled with uncomfortable velocity for
hundreds of yards in every direction.
The fatal bolt did not spare tho roots
in Its fury, but followed one or two of
the main ones distance of fifty feet
or more, tearing the ground open in
wide tracks. The tree was perhaps
two feet in diameter, fifty in height,
and green with foliage. The clap of
thunder which accompanied the flash
was heard three or four miles around
and all the houses shaken. Su;h
wholesale destruction was never heard
of before ia that section. --Philadel-
