MARROW EscAPE-A CITIZEN OF
CAss DISTRACT DISAPPEARS WHILE
DELIRIoUs.-Job Lawlis, a citizen of
Cass district, made a very narrow
escape from death on Monday morn
ing last, while wandering in the
woods in a state of delirium. He
had been considered dangerously ill
for some time, but on Sunday night
last seemed better, and was more
quiet that usual. About midnight
on Sunday he sprang from his bed,
hastily seized his pantaloons, and
before anything could be done to
prevent, he disappeared in the dark
ness and ran away to the woods.
His wife aroused the family and they
secured the vicinity of the house,
but failed to find any trace of him.
When daylight came, assistance was
procured at Cassville, and in q few
hours the unfortunate man was
found unconscious in the woods
about half mile from his house,
with a terrible wound in his head.
The scalp was laid open from the
crown of his head to the forehead,
and it is feared the skull is also
fractured. He was carried home and
was attended by DR.. I. M. Hood,
who soon restored him to conscious
ness. During his illness he was de-
lirious and had been violent at times,
but gave no indication Of any such
freak as above indicated until too
late to be prevented. In his deliri-
um he had been climbing trees and
doing other things that ordinarily
he would have been incapable Of do
ing. At one place the rescuing party
discovered where. he had climbed
tree about 60 feet, tracing his course
by the blood that flowed from his
head. While he can not give an in
telligent account of his wanderings
in the woods through Sunday night,
it is thought he fell from a tree and
received the wound on his head, We
learn that at this time there is a
probability Of his recovery, but he
is in very precarious condition.

The BALTIMORE SUN TALKS ABOUT
Col. HANwAY's SHEEP FARM.-In a
late issue of the Baltimore San we
find the following in reference to
Col. Hanway's sheep farm: Presi-
dent Hanway, of the first branch
city council, who is acting Mayor in
the absence of Mr.. Latrobe, is large
ly engaged in sheep raising on his
farm near Morgantown, West Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Hanway makes visit
there twice a year, fall and spring.
He has at present about seven hun
dred sheep, and has in stock the
shearing of three years, the price
for wool being so low that he thought
it best to keep it until the price be-
came higher AS consequence he
now has several thousand pounds of
wool on hand. The price at present
is thirty cents per pound. Mr.. Han
way says that for a producer to
make any money the price should be
at least forty-five to fifty cents per
pound. The keeping of sheep, he
says, is of great advantage to farm
for fertilizing purposes. Wherever
a poor spot is noticed upon farm
where sheep are kept to any extent
pen is made around that spot and
the sheep are kept in there for sever
al days. Afterwards the crops show
exactly where the sheep have been
penned. Enriching the land by this
process, Mr. Hanway says, is lasting,
and no trouble is experienced after
wards in keeping it in good order.
1t costs very little, he says, to keep
sheep, as growers of sheep generally
raise their own provender The
sheep kept by Mr.. Hanway are of a
fine quality, though small in bulk,
and are valuable principally for their
wool producing qualities. His cut
this year averaged about five pounds
per sheep, though some Of the sheep
produce a much larger quantity.

has again enlarged and is now a
handsome, newsy and well printed
nine-column sheet. The New DoMIN-
ION ranks among the very best papers
in the State. Its growth is remark
able considering that it is published
in a county where Democrats are
the exception rather than the rule.
1t is destined to be the Moses that
will lead old Monongalia out of the
wilderness of Republicanism, but
unlike Moses it will not die when

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. The first
day OF Lent, Ash Wednesday, is so called be-
cause in ancient times it was customary tor
penitents to appear in church covered with
sackcle,h and ashes. 1t derives its name also
from the fact that at Rome in the early age OF
the church the custom prevailed of blessing
aud incensing ashes made from palms laid up
for the purpose. The ashes used in the church
of Rome now are made from the palms conse-
Grated or blessed on Palm Sunday. AT the
services on Ash Wednesday, the priest stands
at the communion rail inside the sanctuary,
AMI puts ashes upon the foreheads OF the
faithful, who receive them kneeling outside
the communion rail. This ceremony IN the
Catholic church is intended to remind the
faithful that they are corporeally but dust and
ashes In recent years the observance OF
Lent has greatly extended, especially in the
Episcopal church, in which. as in the Catho-
lie church, the rules with regard to the Oh
servance Of Lent are very rigid.
