We had the pleasure to meet Capt.
Saddler of Ellsworth, Logan county, on
our recent visit to Little Rock. The
Capt. had just met DR.. Scott, an old
comradein arms during the war, and
was very much interested inquiring of
the doctor about the boys in general,
and about friend Hense Verden of At
kins in particular, whom he supposed
to be well provided for in this worlds
goods BY this time. The Captain had
| got his idea of Mr.. Verden's business
tact from knife swap which he had
made with him on one occasion, in
which Hense had taxed him the mod
est little sum OF $50 to boot. We caught
this from the Captain and doctor as a
fact, which we suppose it will be prop
per to turn over to Col. Embry and
Doctor Potts to investigate, to see II
} Atkins is not entitled to the blue rib
bon as containing the boss knife swap
PEI of the state.
An interesting centenary service
vas held Sunday night last at the Meth
odist church to celebrate the compile
ton of the 1st hundred years OF temper
ance history. The programme was
one of much instruction, history and
argument. 1t gave us the sketch of the
man, DR.. Rush, who, just one hundred
years ago wrote the first essay against
intemperance that saw the light and
initiated the beginning of the great
revolution in public sentiment against
alcohol, whose tide has been rolling on
and swelling from that day to This. 1t
also gave us the essay itself which was
strong one against the then prevail
ing sentiment in regard to the effects
of drink on the human system. At the
time DR.. Rush wrote his famous essay
the churches had not YET walked up to
the baleful character of alcohol. He
started the war in the churches, and 1t
was not long until christianity so as
serted itself in church limits as to OF :
ganize a good fighting force to under
take the rescue of the world from the
dangers of drunkenness. The exercises
were under the supervision of the w.
G. Il. Union and indicated the fact that
our elect ladies are heart and soul en-
listed in the temperance cause.

fork township was in our office last
Monday and related little of his ex-
citing experience on the 18th inst,
with mad heifer belonging to Mr..
Dave Henry. The heller had showed
signs of disease from Monday preceding,
but she was thought to be i'll only and
hooking at the other cattle ,ect., and on
"Wednesday Mr.. Henry thought he
would saw her horns off to prevent her
doing damage to the other cattle, and
called In the assistance of Mr.. Gooch,
who, In the scufile to hold her had a
wound on the left fore.finger and an
other on the right thumb inocnlated
with the saliva from her mouth. On
the next morning it was fully develop
ed that she was mad ana that Mr..
Gooch was in danger of passing into
the coils of hydrophobia. On Sunday
he set out to look for mad stone and
found one Mt Scottsville, which howev-
err would not act. He came from
thence down to Mrs. Berryhill's about
five miles from town, and there found
another, and on applying it to the
wounds 1t adhered for about SIS minutes
on. one and 65 on the other. Mr.. Goocn
is also taking another remedy and by
these means hopes to prevent any seri-
Gus results. 1t was not known when
the heifer had been bitten, as Mr.. Hem
ry had just moved into the neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Gooch also informs us that
this mad stone of Mrs. Berryhill's had
