In few feet Of the north end of the ele-
CANT brick hotel just finished by the
Jones Brothers, there stood an old loG
house which has history. 1t was the
first hotel Camilla ever had. Wednesday

Van was being exercised in field near
this city by that skilltul brd-destroyer,
Mr.. n. X. Wlnship, when he suddenly
came to full point. The attitude was
that so familiar to gunuers. The dog
half crouched, as If to spring, aud the line
from the tip of his nose to the end OF his
tail was as straight and level as though
planned and placed by an ensigner. Evil
IDENTIFY his whole soul was concentrated
upon the hidden covey in the grass before
him. Stuffed ana mounted in a museum
he could not have been more rigid.
Mr.. Winshlp was some distance of and
approaching, when he saw a bull sauuter
out from his family circle gathered near
at hand, and advanced upon the dog. The
p0nderous animal came on " tn that con-
fident air peculiar to bOvines, ana with
lowered head. To his evident astonish-
ment the dog did not run, nor In fact
move. The bull paused and surveyed
ham, then advanced again. And SO, al
last reached the end Of that extended tail
which he brushed with his nose. Van,
recalling the days when Capt. Dick BaX-
ter used to jerk him omersaults by the
tail in attention, instantly drop
ped that appendage and curl
ed 1t out of the way, as dogs are
won't to do. Noting this concession, the
bull advanced step, still puzzled. He
did not want TO toss "a teIra-cotta dog,
nor get into a trap, so he gently inserted
one horn under Vans rear supports and
h0isted them quietly from the ground.
AT this interesting moment the dog still
kept his point, presenting the appearance
of having been suddenly arrested while
trotting down stairs, aud Mr.. Winship adj
vancing flushed the birds and fired with
his usual success.
The instant the gun was discharged the
dog turned In rage and chased the med
dlesome bovine from the ground.

An item appeared in the E1sntaQ NelgS
Thursday In reference to an insolent
tramp who forced himself into a Greene
street residence and insulted the ladies OF
the house under the pretext Of selling an
improved liquid for polishing furniture.
There are several of these men in town,
and the reporter hears of them Ia various
portions of the city. They go TO the front
door, ring the bell, ana when the servant
opens the door the tramp pushes himself
into the hall before the servant has
time to ask him his business. He then
asks for the lady Of the house. While the
servant goes to call the lady the man i'm
proves the occasion TO pocket any
thing lying about the hall loose, or even
enters the parlOr. When the lady appears
he begins extOlllng the virtues of his pol

that he takes In everything, and Of course
manages to pick up something before
leaving. He generally makes his visits
when he knows there is no man on the
place, or ifhe encounters man, manages
to make himself less obnoxious, and then
retires and goes through the same routine
at the next dwelling. We have been re-
quested to put the ladies on guard, and II

Terrible Tragedy.
From TIE Tampa (Fa.l tribune.

from TIE Tampa lFt0,l tribune.
We learned from parties who were in
town Of the enactment of terrible TRACE
dy al Peru, on Sunday night which caused
deep and widespread excitement in that
unusually quiet nsighborhoOd. Capt Du-
senberi stepped out OF the house for few
moments leaving his mother alone, but
while absent he heard his brother enter
the house. He returned almost simu tia
neously with his brothers entrance but
W hen he reached the room most appall-
ing sight met his gaze. His brother
clutched him by both arms and getting
behind him exclaimed in piteous tones,
''My God. Pve killed my motherw Sitting
in a chair was the lifeless body of his
mother with her scalp laid wide open.
Capt. Duseuberi was almost frantic witt
grief DIR. Voc was Immediately
summoned but the poor lady was
beyond medical aid. The news Of the
tragedy spread like wildtlre, and those
who looked upon the face, rigid in deaths
relentless grasp, were Mortified at the
spectacle presented. The instrument with
which the wound was inflicted was n
Ratchet. The young man who committed
the deed has been very deaf for a number
OF years, but beyond that affection moth
ing unusual had been observed about him.
Although he seemed perfectly rational
immediately after he had buried the
Ratchet in his mothers head. it is very
certain that at the moment the deed was
committed he was suffering from tempo
rary alteration of the mind. Capt. Du-
sepberi has been a resident OF Peru for
some time. but his father, mother aud
brother only arrived there few weeks
ago from Pennsylvania.
An inquest was hsld over the body by
Justice j. j. BOyett, and the jury returned
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
