Turner. silk manufacturer, while with his father watching the erection of the latter's new mill, was severely bitten in his hand by @ large Newfoundland dog, which the fad was caressing. The animal was not mad. and no serious results are anticipated. On the previous day, Eddie Keeoan. 6 years old, while playing in the road near his house in New Village, was bitten through the lip at the base of the nose by brown setter dog, inficting a most serious wound. Dr. 0. J. Fox dress ed the wound The animal was innmedi- ateIy shot by an elder brother of the boy.
 ID. s. Brayman, wood dealer, lost a very valuable horse, Fhich got cast in the stable, breaking leg. It had to be killed.

Wilmington, Conn, Sept. 9th, 1888.
 On reading an item that appeared in the Stafford Press, Aug. 23d, I was so disgust ed that felt just like kicking myself, to think that such thing had been going on in Daleville, and knowing nothing about it.
 Twill not make any attempt to answer or crIticise. The piece is too ridiculous foranything. will only say-to those it may concern, there has been no dam or reservoir built in Daleville, nor an old dam enlarged My dam has twice been partly washed away, and put up again, each time made smaller. have been here over 15 years, and during that time there has been no change in the mode of running the .RaiA. .=,....r
 There is water enough during nine months of the year to run all nay machine Fy, and, as a general thing, would run twice the amount. I never have to run by steam before June 1st some years it holds out later after that the stream begins to go down still there is Q little to help. commence then to run steam and water to- gether until the water gets so low there is none to speak of. I, of course, have to run by steam alone (what I do run) till the pond fills up a little. never let it get over half full before using it so it would make no difference If had large dam. sometimes have to run as long as five or six days together by steam alone, but I am not holding the water at this time; I am waiting for water. zt Es There ares4hrGeisdsrak about one mile above mine, and afealt like mine waiting for water.

Now I aak in the naEte of common sense, |, mill by steam five df six days, while I am waiting for water, than there is. for my neighbor to be making hay for the same reason; Idon't mean to be under stood that never run 2 ;few hours by wa ter alone during the dry season am sometimes obliged, to, or atop, The best evidence I can give that the above is sub stsntially true is my: business. need from forty, five to fifty horse power.

The Bathing Buffalo.

Beef cattle are not indigcn Gus to any
ortion of junGIe-covcrcd Malaysia,
the buffalo finding substance there.
But the buffalo is not used for dairy
purposes, and it is seldom eaten ex
cept by the poorer classes. chiefly
Chinese. The meat is tough and has
an unpleasant flavor. But ut heavy
draught, blowing, log hauling and such
uses the buffalo is at home. He is
larger and stronger than the American
OK. He mnst have mudholcs and
creeks in VIII ch he can wallow and
battle. The natives make great use of
him for cultvating rice. But he must
be unhtched when he gets FESTIVE, for
that is sign he wants to battle. And
if the desire isn't gratiied the buffalo
straighlwav becomes dangerous.
These buffhocs. the consul says, are
often in size and weight about half way
between Il very large OK and an aver
age elephant. They have ponderous
and peculiar horns, somewhat like
those of the American buffalo, only
much longer. They are mouse col
ored generally. have very thin coat
ing of hair, and sometimes none at all
except at the end of the tail, on the
ears and on the head.
This buffalo thrives best when he has
access to a pond or sluggish creek
He will take to this water, bury himself
in it up to the neck, and remain there
happy and content for five or six hours
a days. Louis Globe Democrat
