To question Of several gentlemen
about Florida appointments, Mr., Dough-
erty said
Just as soon as the President can
reach the Florida appointments the
changes in office viii commence, but
there is one thing not understood by the
people, and that is that every application
for an Office sent to President Cleveland
has to be examined and considered be-
fore he can determine upon anything.
He has to sign his name three times to
every commission issued, which alone
takes considerable time Then he has TO
hear the friends Of q great many apPli-
cants, and they are numerous and press

Editor PALATKA News;
Yesterday afternoon two small chill
dreu, who had accepted short ride ten
dered them by driver of one of the gro
Gerry wagons of the city, were skipping
home, as gleeful as only children can be,
anxious to relate to their mother the
pleasure they had experienced in the
short ride and express their admiration
for the one who had sent JOY to their
little hearts, when, ON nearing home
a vicious dogrushed from a gate of a
shanty rs homely as its inmates, and fas-
tened its teeth in one Of the little boys
clothing, but, fortunately, the child was
not bitten. In the presence of the Occu-
pant of the house-and presumably its
owner-the dog was allowed to pursue
the child, and the only expression made
by 'IT'Ghe owner was regret that the dog
HAD FAILED To BITE the child. Can any
thing more brutal emanate from the
heart of human? or could any tongue
utter a worse thing than that it is afford
ed delight at viewing the laceration of a
little child by brute? Surely such a
creature-if possessed of a souls be

But what shall we do with a warm,

us, but hurts Us in every corner by his
indiscretion: We cannot whip him and
throw him away. We cannot get him
shut up in an insane asylum, because the
asylum was not designed for idiots. 1t

1t Is a conundrum which more than one

could have his jaws locked with a time-
lock, and then fed by an attendant

A DAsrARDLT DEED.
Three Cows Belonging to j. e. Pfllsbury
OF Palmyra. Fatally Poisoned.

Mr. J. Pllsbury and wife, who were in
Augusta last week. visiting their daughter,
Mrs w. II. Dunton. returned to their home
in Palmyra on Sunday last TO find that most
atrocious deed had been committed during
their absence. Two Jersey cows Law in the
barn flour dead, and another in the BARNARD
diving. Saturday night two of the cows came
up from the pasture apparently very sick and
did not give the usual quantity OF milk. Mr..
{. +. Longley, neighbour being called in,
thought they would be better in the morning;
but IN the morning one of them was dead and
the other dying. Mr.. Longley Immediately
went to Piusteld and procured veterinary
surgeon, who upon examination, pronounced
them poisoned, upon which parties started for
the pasture to ascertain the cause. Mr.. p.
had two more fine butter cows, and two valu-
able colts besides some SIX or eight other
head Of steers and heifers in the pasture A
large quantity of rotten apples and potatoes
was found, covered with Paris green, enough
to Kill all the stock in the neighborhood.
This had been thrown down in the lane,
where the stock would come to it in passing
from the pasture to the barn. The two colts
were found very near the poison.
but apparently all right, although it
is thought one of the colts had
! eaten little of it. One of the cows was
found near the fence sick, and this COW died
between twelve and one o'clock Sunday night,
after Mr.. P.'s arrival, making the third but
ter COW that had died from the effects of the
poison. This is very hard blow to Mr.. p,
as he is man who has very nice stock, and
thinks great deal of it. His colts he con-
siders very valuable, and had he lost them
the blow would have been almost unbearable.
person, who could, for any motive what
ever, stoop to so mean and contemplate an
acton as to poison valuable stock or any
dumb creature, must be fend incarnate 1t
is hoped the guilty party will be apprehended
and be brought to speedy justice, for it is not
safe to have such party at large for dav.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Longley, in
the same neighborhood, lost his house, farm
buildings and farm tools about two wears ago.
and he and his family barely escaped with
their lives. 1t was evident the buildings
were set on fire.
