The GAZETTE will continue to furnish the
news kilograms of the New York Associated Press
and of Reuters European Agency, while its
Washington correspondence will furnish the
latest and most reliable news from the capital of
the nation. The proceedings of Congress will be
regularly reported in succinct form, but all mat
tors of special interest in Virginia will be given
in detail and the full text Of all bills Of local in
terest will be published.
The Commercial columns of the GAZETTE vii,
give the earliest and most exact commercial news,
with reliable reports of the GRAIN Cattle, Grocery
and other Markets, and the prices and position Of
the stocks which are the subjects of business
transactions in this section of the country.
Its Richmond correspondence and special tele-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of the proceedings of the General Assem-
bly, and of all the operations of the State govern
ment likely to interest the people
Correspondence from every section of the State
published continually, and all events of interest
will be faithfully reported.
The Local Department will receive special at
tention during the coming year, and no pains
will be spared to chronicle all matters occurring

Tho GAZETTE was established In 1SOO, and Is
now the oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the oldest il the coun-
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to be continued paper suited for the family as
well rs for the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared Its past shall be guarantee of its future.
The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in
cleasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they arc constantly in
need Of That this is self-evident may be inferred
from tho fact that large country edition-equal-
ly as largo as the daily-is sent out all over this
section of country three times week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be madesatis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising in tho
GAZETTE are thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.

TREATMENT OF Doc BITEs.-Mr. L. NJ.
Dolan. The author of a standard work on
hydrophohia. has drawn up the following
.iuple remedies for the immediate treat
III iuv-bites: 1.-The bite of healthy dog
canno, cause hydrophobia. This is we'll
established fact. As it is difficult to deter
mime the state OF health of dog at the time
h.. bites, the wound should be treated as if
the dog were rabid. Dog-bites should be
treated at once by the person bitten or by a
bystander, by sucking the wound If possible;
enlarpipg the wound with penknife to en-
courage bleeding; by hot water fomenta-
ton by free washing with cold water; by
liyature, II piece of string tied between the
wound and the heart. After bleeding has
been encouraged and the wound has been
we'll washed apply hot iron-as heated
penknife, small key, etc.,-caustlcs, pure
nitric, siilphuric or hydrochloric acid,
nitrate of silver, acetic acid, carbolic
acid, ammonia, salt, or piece OF hot Gin,
der. If near chemists the person bitten should
run there keeping ismouth applied to the wound
if possible, and splitting out the blood extracted.
If near q medical mans house run there at once
IF in a part where the person bitten cannot apply
his mouth, some bystsnder should suck the wound
no harm can follow from thus lending assist
ance. The dog inflicting the bite should be kept
under observation for at least fourteen days. 1t
will soon be seen whether it is healthy or not. II
healthy, there is no fear of future development OF
hydrophobia. If the person bitten experiences
shooting pain up the arms other parts OF the
body, three or four Turkish baths should be taken
If the person bitten is nervous, he should place
himself under the care of his medical attendant.
have treated some hundreds of cases of dog bites
from all parts of the country, and I am glad to
say that those bitten have not experienced any
after symptoms"- London Era.
