by the following incident, which was
first printed in the Winthrop(Maine)
Budget, and is also vouched for by
the Forest and Stream, the hunting
iournal, whose editor says that the
parties and incidents are well known.
Flash, the fine pointer dog belong
ing to DR.. G. A. Packard, of Bath, in
following his master carriage through
q crowded street, had the toe of his
forefoot caught under a wheel. The
claw after this began to grow out. and
the wound became exceedingly painful.
One day the doctor examined the
wound, and said to the dog, in q BUSH
ness-ike way
"Well, Flash, / think you'll be
Obliged to have that claw cut off,"
Flash looked up knowingly, and
wagged his tail. Aday or two later,
the wound had become worse, and
Flash came limping into his masters
Office, laid his paw upon his lap, and
submitted to apainful operation with
out a twinge d
Not long a~fterward, DR.. Packard
was surprised to see Flash come into
the Office one day, with asmall black
cur following him. Flash rushed up
to the doctor, and back to the cur,
and kept up this movement for some
time. At last the doctor examined
the strange dog, and found that he
had BEEN wounded, and was still bleed
ing. He dressed the wound, and the
dog went away
In some way, which human beings
would find it hard to understand.
Flash had induced the wounded dog
to come to the doctors Office, and
have his hurt attended to.

Attack ON Mr. Garland.

There has been a persistent effort
to besmirch the character of Attor-
ney General Garland by the charge
OF improper connection with the Pan
Electric company. 1t is now made
evident that the bitter attacks on
him have been inspired and literally
paid for by the Bell Telephone Com
pany, with view of perpetuating a
monopoly and withdrawing public
attention from the questionable
means by which that monopoly was
obtained. Those who have investi-
gated the matter are convinced that
there is nothing in the indictment
against Mr.. Garland and other pub
lie men, to warrant any suspicion of
their integrity. The effort to stir
up a great scandal has miserably
failed. Mr.. Garland took stock in
the Pan Electric company long be-
fore the election of Mr. Cleveland
and of course before he was ever
thought of as member of the Cab
met.
The formation of the company
was in furtherance of a move to
break down monopoly that had
been long enjoyed and most eyre
giously abused by the Bell Telephone
company, hence the luminosity
against Mr.. Garland and the aver
sion of the latter company to going
into court. 1t knows full well that
its methods will not stand the light
of legal investigation before an hon
est tribunal Mr.. Cleveland is
thoroughly conversant with all the
circumstances of the case, and has
never lost confidence in Mr.. Garland.
who has maintained the most exalted
character for integrity both public
and private, and reputation for
legal attainments, second to none in
the country. The New York World
and Sunhave allowed themselves to be
used to rehash the so-called disclos
ures, originally published in the
New York Tribune. 1t is asserted in
well informed circles that they were
paid most literally for their dirty
work, but it will be apt to recoil with
terrible force.-Martinsburg States

Laurel Point.

LAUREL POINT, Feb. 13.-I noticed
in your last issue something con-
corning a giant oak, on the Potter
farm. l will inform your many
readers that it still stands as proud
as it did $50 years ago, although the
writer is not quite that old. 1t is
on the land of Mrs. Clark Baker and
l will say it is a monstrous oak
Your writer had it only Is feet in
circumference; perhaps the tree has
grown some since he got the dimen-
sions. 1t measures to-day % feet
in circumference feet from the
ground; instead of being short and
limby it is very tall and limby. Age
is telling on the old fellow now.
The top is dead and it is decayed in
other places.
Mud is king now.

Ohio, where he has been for the past

Organize! Organize!

We notice movement by the bus
mess men of Parkersburg, that may
well be followed by the people of
Morgantown.
The business men of that city re-
Gently organized themselves into an
association styled "The Parkers
burg Board of Improvement" The
object is thus expressed in one of
their resolutions:
ITO obtain all possible informa-
ton regarding such manufactures
and industries as can be success
fully and profitably introduced into
our city; to correspond with manu-
facturers, capitalists, and others from
abroad; to induce them to locate in
our midst; to advance the material
and industrial interests of our city
and county, and to do and perform
such other acts as may conduce to
the furtherance of the above"
There is, probably, nothing that
the business men of Morgantown
could do that would be more appro-
pirate at this juncture than to or
ganize just such an association as
this.
We are all wishing and expecting
an improvement in business and a.
new development and growth to fol-
low the opening of our railroad.
This will doubtless, be realized, even
if no general and united effort is put
forth. But if Morgantown ever de-
velops to any great degree in short
space of time, it will only be after
our citizens have put forth united
effort to advance in some practical
way the public interests. If there
is no public spirit there will be no
public growth except so far as indi-
viduals are able to add, by slow de-
grees, something to their respective
lines of business. If every body is
so selfish as to think, and care and
do nothing for the general veal; if
every body remains blind to the fact
that private interests are dependent
for their prosperity more or less upon
the general public prosperity, there
will be no development or growth to
speak of in this town, for years to
come.
The organization of Board of
Improvement could not fail to do
good if it did nothing more than de-
velop public spirit. But there are
thousand roads open to such a
body by which to advertise the town
to the world, as well as to suggest
and advocate such internal measures
as will of themselves attract capital
and enterprise.
Let us have Board of Improve
ment as the first fruits of our rail-
road facilities.

less to say he will be greatly missed
by our young folks.
A certain young man from the
vicinity of Barker's Ford came driv-
ing into town last Saturday evening,
his heart filled with "high hopes"
but he surely must have felt consid-
cradle shorter when he found his
best girl had gone to the Institute
with shandsomer man."
Our Institute was a decided sue
cess. There was quite a number of
good speakers present. Hon. Jacob
Provinse of Fayette county, was
among the number, as was also Prof.
Martin, of Greensboro. The sing
ing is said to have been the best ever
heard in Mt Morris. The choir was
not only complimented for their
good singing but also for their
good looks as well, but how could it
be otherwise when the "two old
maids" were left out.

The f., M. q P. Railroad reached
Morgantown last week and every
body in that staid old town seems
jubilant. BY the way, the publish

They print both sides of big nine

pretty much all ''live" reading mat
ter, only a few advertisements being
found in either. They were model
papers before the railroad reached
them. "Vot Won't they do next?"

Zeal is good thing, but it ought
to be tempered with wisdom. Some
temperance enthusiasts in Cameron,
the other day, contributed $176 to
buy and destroy a saloon keepers
stock of whiskey, beer, &c. The
fire-water was duly purchased and
poured into the street, and the en-
thusiasts thought they had annihi-
lated the monster. They will find
to their sorrow that he is a many
