A VIRGINIA OPINIoN.-A mum

A VIRGINIA OPINION.-A number
of our business friends have gone to see
the Exposition the Old North State has
made of her products at Raleigh, and
they lack words to express the pleasure
and profit it afforded them. The only
regret they have is that old Virginia
does not show the same enterprise, for
who can tel the MEASURE of benefit n
State must receive from such a display
Of her resources? Quite q hundred
thousand people visited the Exposition,
and every one of them will prove to be
an advertiser of what he saw. While
only half the counties in the State were
specially represented, what they had to
show filed every CarOlinian's heart with
pride. Next year every county will be
there. when wo hope Richmond will
send To see it such an excursion as will
astonish the natives. Virginia and
North Carolina are bonnd together by
so many ties that we rejoice with her,
with all our heart, over the splendid sue
cess of this achievement, and with her
sons and daughters the enjoyment OF
every COED thing. But we give her
notice that we, too, intend to wake up
and try to emulate her in her efforts to
improve the general prosperity. -Rich-
mOnd Dispatch.

BELLAIRE, ONO, October GA
party of hunters to-day found a skeleton
among the rocks of a stone quarry west
of this place. Various stories are told TO
account FOR the skeleton. One Is that
twenty years ago one Margaret Porter
lived at the home of Jacob Long, who
resided two miles from the quarry. Mar
garet. not content with her place, came
to Bellaire, then a more village. She re-
manned here some time, often visiting
her old home. One day she started from
here, and was never heard o fagain. Har-
rison Porter, the father of the girl, who
is still living. is of the opinion that the
bones are those Of his daughter, but the
bones are too well preserved for this
theory. Later this evening a clue was
discovered which leads to the belief that
the skeleton is that OF Miss Minnie
Thomas, one of the three persons who so
mysteriously disappeared from Clarlng-
ton, Ohio, twenty miles south of this
city, three or four months ago. An adj
ditional mystery is added TO the affair by
finding late tonight another human foot
in a crevice near by.

WAS CADET STRANG KILLED?-Wash-
iDgton, Oct. 3l--There is a probability
that The death OF Cadet Strang of Oregon,
at the Annapolis Academy may result in
some startling disclosures concerning the
practice of hanging at the Naval Acade-
my. Strang was found dead IN bis bed
the next day alter he entered the Acade-
my. There was a suspicion at the time
that he was the victim ofhazing, but the
authorities ofthe Academy dismissed the
idea. A gentleman named Aylme OF
Portland, Oregon, came on for that pur-
pose, and has been at work on the case at
Annapolis. Yesterday Mr.. Aylme had a
consultation with Senator Dolph expected
to be able to show that Strang'sdeath was
caused by hazing. His idea was to get
the matter into the criminal court OF
Maryland and out of the hands of a court
martial.
The theory advanced is that after
young Strang had retired on the night OF
his arrival, he was taken from his bed by
some of the cadets and subjected to a
course ofhazing. After being maltreated
in various ways, it is thought he was put
in a barrel and rolled down a hill, and
was either injured 80 badly that he died
| alter his return, or was killed outright
and his body taken back to the dormitory
and laid in bed by the hazing party.

MYSTERIOUS CASE of HYDROPHORI

MYSTERIOUS CASE of HYDROPHoBIA.
-Owego, y. Y, Oct. 30.-A few months
ago Harvey Coffin, aged IL, went home
with his hand badly lacerated. He said
he had tom it on a barbed wire fence.
The wounds healed, and nothing more
was thought of the matter. On Monday
last the boy was seized with violent
spasms, since which time he has been so
violent that at times it has required the
united strength of seven men to hold him
in bed. He whines and barks like a dog,
froths at the mouth, and snaps at all who
come neal him. 1t is believed now that
at the time he came home with his wound
ed hand he had been bitten by a dog, and
that owing to the great and well-known
fear and YOU of his grandfather
over hydrophobia he had suppressed the
fact. The physicians have pronounced
his case one of hopeless hydrophobia.

A Noble Seaman.

The Brave Act of q New Haven Boy on
 the Massachusetts Coast.
 The daily press is filled with commenda tions ef the gallant conduct of Lieutenant John N. Rhodes of the United States revenue Cutter Dexter, who aided so fearlessIy in sav- ing,the ives'of the crew of the steamer City of Columbus that was wrecked on the Massachusetts coast. It will be interesting to the readers of the COURIER to know that the brave sailor is 8 native of New Haven and that his father WAS 8 former sea captain and lived in Fair Haven. Lieutenant Rhodes is about 30 years of age and has followed the sea since boyheod when he made many trips with his father. He served an appren ticeship upon the revenue cutter Campbell, and before the prescribed time for testing an apprentices efficiency had expired, he was appointed a third lieutenant in the revenue service, and assigned to duty on the revenue cutter Dexter in 1872. Thence he was transferred to the cutter Colfax, at Wilmington, N. o. He remained at that port for five years and when the first lieutenant of the Dexter was transferred to the Pacific coast MT. Rhodes was promoted to second lieutenant and by re- quest transferred to his old post on the Dex- ter. He is one of the most brave and daring sesmen in the revenue service and will no doubt receive promotion for his gallant con- duct in rescuing the halS dead men from the wrecked steamer City of Columbus, at the peril of his own life.
 Collector Beers said last evening that he knew Lieutenant Rhodes well as he had often been in this harbor while cruising through the Sound. The collector further stated that the lieutenant was gentleman in every re- spect and he sincerely hoped that his brave conduct would be rewarded by promotion.
