Rey. b. w. Daugherty.

The Bellefontaine, Ohio, Examiner, in its
issue of last week, contains the following
concerning reception rendered the gentle
man whose name heads this: A large and
enjoyable reception was rendered Rev. Mr..
bought rey, of Winston, n. G., on Wednes-
day evening last, at the hospitable home of
Judge West. Mr.. Daugherty was recently
appointed minister of Trinity Church, this
city, and the object of this reception was to
have him meet and become acquainted with
the members of this congregation. The
evening Was passed most pleasantly with
social converse and vocal music-the latter
being nicely rendered by Miss AIDA Kelly
and John Lawrence. Refreshments were
served from half-past eight up to the hour
when all the guests had arrived. Mr. and
Mrs. West and their sons, by their charm
ing cordially, made the occasion one long
to be remembered by all who were present

A MAD STONE
That Cured Native of Salem from the
Bad Effects of a Dog Bite.


A gentleman now living in Salem,
when boy, was bitten by a mad dog and
can testify to the healing qualities of the
mad stone. The discussion of Pasteurs
method of incubation for the cure of hydro
phobia has brought out many interesting
facts concerning that disease and its. cure.
In many of the Northern cities excitement
has reigned which has almost amounted to a
panic and thus the mad stone has been
brought into conspicuous notice.
The mad stone which effected the cure OF
the. party we have reference to, was brought
to Northampton County from Virginia,
about a half century ago, by Mr.. Mizell,
! who lived on the plantation of Mr.. Thomas
p. Devereux, and whom, it is said priced
| the stone SO highly that the most tempting
offers could. not get it from him. After he
died, it was sold to DIR. A. s. Hall, near Wei
don, who retained possession of it for nearly
thirty years, when by his death in 1916, it
passed into the hands If his son, DIR. j b.
Hall.
The Weldon News tells us that the stone
is about one and quarter inches in length
and half an inch in diameter. 1t has three
sides, one of which is the color of dark wal
nut, the other two sides being of light buff
color. One end is smooth, the other rough
as if it had been broken. 1t is porous and
weighs sixty-two grains.
A writer in the above paper testifies to
having seen it fifteen years ago, applied to a
wound by snake bite, after first being
placed in warm water. 1t adhered 70 the
wound for a while and then dropped off. 1t
was again placed in warm water and a thin.
thread-like stream of milky looking sub
stance was seen o exude from it. Three ap-
plications were made and the exudations
ceased The patient experienced no i'll eff
fects from the bite. r 49,
The stone is most valuable piece of prop
erty, if it is genuine, and there can be nc
doubt of it. DIR. Hall is willing that it should
be thoroughly tested by any one, but is not
willing that it should be put into the pos
session of any other person. Il

Fire at Friedburg Church.

We learn through friend that the Fried
burg Church, in this county, came very near
being consumed by fire a few days since.
The only account given of the origin of the
fire is by the pastor, Rev. James Hall, who
resides in one en-! oil the building, and who
says when he awoke in the morning he
found the church in blaze, which was
caused, he thinks, by the rats digging out
the dirt under the fireplace. The church
was saved after much exertion.
A Commendable Precedent Established.
A man named Slower invaded Winston a
few days ago with the intention of setting
up a gambling business, consisting of
some sort of wheel of fortune or ring and
cane. arrangement, familiar to attendants at
agricultural fairs. He wa s promptly and
emphatically refused a licen Sc, and he left
Winston las mad as wet hen" The au-
thorities are deserving of common dation
for thus nipping the project in the bud.

A SENTINEL reporter, a few days ago,
stumbled across the following interesting
and time worn documents, VIII ich belong to
Mr.. H. o. Paige, of the Salem Iron Works.
Mr. Paige is native of New England, and
the letters were addressed to his father. No
envelope enclose them, the direction being
written on the outer fold, which contained
the post-mark and the old-fashioned "paid' !,
stamp, no adhesive stanp being In use.
Here are the letters:
CAMBRIDGE PORT, April 18th, 1889.
DEAR FRIEND:
/ now embrace this opportunity of writing
to you after having been put in mind of it
twice, once by Mr.. Shepard and once by
Mr.. Thurston. The old saying that birds
of feather will flock together has proved
true in once instance, for Thurston and
have got together. He has got back from
Lowell and gwen me all the particulars of
the people and business, which he thinks is
very dull. Strangers that call in take him
for the boss of the shop. do not wonder
at it, for he knows more, can jump higher,
squat lower, dive deeper, stay under longer,
would please you to see him talk to Mr.
Tuft, our employer. He will roll up his
eyes in a way that is curious. 1t will be
useless for me to say anything about the
place, as Thurston has told about it how
ever, [ will say few words: | stayed at
home last winter and commenced work in
Boston about two months ago. 1 find a
good shop and fine set of fellows to work
with. board at home, which is about two
miles from the ShOD. | am Obliged to walk
in mornings on account of there not being
any stage that runs so early but can ride
out at night / used to feel rather lame
when lived in Lowell, but since / began
to take the morning walks 1 have felt much
better l have nine shillings per day and
no board to pay, which is little better than
/ had in Lowell. We have only to work
eleven hours for a day, which. if we work
ed as long as you do, it would make me as
good as ten and sixpeuce per day. Tell old
Stephen that his prophecy has not proved
true yet, for he prophecyed that 1 should
want to come back soon. l think that Lowell
is a fine place to live in on account of the
fine girls there but the hard work and
small pay is what comes across my affec-
tions.
have given up trying to play the bugle,
but l suppose your courage holds out yet.
We have a concert here about every night.
/ went to one in Boston the other night
given by the Brass Band, which was first
rate, as Kendall was showing us science.
thought that you would like to hear him. /
think that l shall come up to Lowell soon,
Give my respects TO all the good people of
Lowell.
Please write to me as soon as you can
Respectfully yours,

We saw this morning aphotograph which
contains the picture of man, his wife, six
daughters and four sons, all taken upon
one plate. The family reside in Forsyth
ception and are the pictures of intelligent
people possessed of rosy health. The pic
ture is curiosity from the fact that it is
