An Interesting Historical Discovery.
Mr.. VIM. Francis Cregar is now engag-
ed in this city in preparing eeneralo-
gical and historical index 10 the will
records of Maryland, covering the years
from 1884 To 177S, and embraced in forty
volumes. Over sixty Willis recorded in
The first volume contain requests for the
promotion of religion, charity and educa
ton, over one half the testators being
members of the Roman Catholic Church
The most important discovery which he
has yet made is the fact. fully established
by one of the wills in this volume, that
a parish Of the Church of England existed
in Maryland in the year 1915, five years
before the arrival of the Rev. William
Wilkinson, the first rector of the Pop
lar Hill Church in ST. Mary's county,
who came into the province in 1000.
Mr.. Cregar hopes to complete his index
during the next year.

No Possible Relief Until Frost.

The situation in Florida, Georgia, Alabama
and other Southern States, in lesser degree,
continues unchanged, and until cold weather
comes there can be little, if any, relief from
the terrible scourge. 1t is true that but few
deaths occur in proportion to the number of
cases reported, but they are frequent enough to
terrorize the communities in which they hap
pen, and almost the entire population remain
ing in these districts are engaged in attending
to those who have been stricken by the plague.
Business is at complete standstill, nothing
being done but what is absolutely necessary.
A scare was created in Memphis Tenn, by a
man who had been on protracted spree, and
the doctors had him marked as a suspect. 1t
finally transpired that it was simply case of
big drunk, and when this fact was made known
the citizens of Memphis hreathed much easier

upon the plains, and even above the yelling
and snarling of the pack / could hear the snap
ping of the long jaws of the vermin, and occa-
si0nally howl from my poor dog.
Just as l was grasping at my revolvers to go
ont 10 Gus's rescue, my poor dog appeared at
the foot of the company street bound for home.
He was in bad way. He would walk step or
two and then stop to put paw up tenderly to
one of his ears. and then hold the same paw
while he licked it of. All the time he kept up a
plaintive lamentation that was almost human.
Finally he got back to my tent and / overhaul
ed him. His feet were bitten through and
through, and as for his ears, shaggy as they
were Of hair, they had been bitten through by
so many sharp teeth that they looked almost
ike lace-work.
That sleeping ~ coyote was wretched de-
coy. He had been laying for Gus, and when
he coaxed the poor dog outside the camp the
whole colony of wolves pounced upon him.
The Doctor and Col. Benteen helped me
nRTSe poor Gus TO recovery, but as long as l
served on the frontier and Gus associated with
me. ] never knew him to take any more per-
sonal interest in the coyote tribe. Whenever
he would hear the peculiar sharp aud short
bark of coyotes lie would move straight to the
head Of my bed, as much as TO say that he
hadn't lost any coyotes, and was not hunting
any up for other people or dogs.
