Of the current year the new shipping laid

Death from a Bite Received
ThIrty-FiVe Years Ago.

SOMERSET, KY, Dec. 27.-[Special
to the Times Democrat "A peculiarly
sad case of hydrophobia, which re-
suited in the death of its victim, is
reported from Hound Hollow, in this
county, this morning, Bond Sears, a
well-known farmer, aged forty five,
was attacked by mad dog thirty-fve
years ago, He dispatched the dog
without any trouble, but received a
scratch on the hand, which troubled
him for some time, but eventually
healed up, and tho whole occurrence
was forgotten. About nine days ago
he was taken suddenly i'll, and IN an
hour after he was thrown into violent
convulslons. 1t required three men
to hold him. He would froth at the
mouth, bark like a dog and snap
tierCeIy at his friends.
These spasms REQUIRED from time to
time, each being more violent than the
other. Nine days after the appearance
of the dread malady he died. One of
his dogs licked up some of the saliva
and in an hour after was mad, The
dog in turn bit others, and now the
nelghborhood is in state of terror.
The farmers are out cunning day and
night, and the slaughter of dogs is
terrific. Sears leaves n wife and two
children III comfortable circumstances.
There is no doubt his death is the re-
suit of the bite received thirty.fve
years ago.

A Young lady locked up Ln al
Safe Vault.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 28.--Thore is a
safe vault about SIX feet square in the
rear of the store No. O3l + street, and
last evening, as preparations were
being made to close store, one of the
lady clerks went into the vault to put
away articles. Another clerk passing
by, and not knowing the young
woman was in the vault, closed the
door and turned the knob, which set
the combination. Then it was at once
discovered that the young woman
was locked up and there was CON
stcrHaton in the store, Mrs Slater,
the manager of the establishment,
knew the combination, but in the ex-
citemcnt Of the moment it escaped
her mind entirely. Meanwhile the
young woman in the vault was rapidly
breathing up the few cubic feet of ar
at her disposal. Her companions
outside were sobbing and calling on
her not to be frightened. 1t was a
question to engage safe burglar or
wait until Mr.. Roman, who rents a
part of the vaulL and had the cOmbina-
ton, could be found The messenger
dispatched failed to find him. At
last, when the friends of the young
woman were about TO give up, Mr..
Charles L. Foster, the owner Of the
building, who also had the Combina,
ton, appeared and opened the safe,
and the imprisoned girl staggered out
and fell in the arms Of her friGnds
She was locked up more than an hour
and was in danger of suffocating when
relief came.

4 WISE INTERPRETER.

TThe following poem, written BY Mrs. E.
]. Nieholson--'fP Rivers was read BY
Mr. j. Y. Gilmore, of the Louisiana Sugar
BOgl, at the recent National Press Assoeia-
tion convention at San Antonio.I
Nature is Gods interpreter
Wiser than Seraphim;
She speaks to all who comes to her
IuYarled tongues of Him.
Before His golden throne che stands
In revereptiai fear,
Aud moulds her voice at His commands
To fit each listening ear,
To regal hearts whose thrones are high,
Gods princes, kings and ezars,
She speaketh nightly from the sky,
The language of the stars.
The holy words these great hearts hear,
Glide down the rays of light
Too softly e'er TO break the clear,
Deep silence of the night
And what she speaks from that bright land,
To mankind may be told
Only by those who understand
This golden tongue Of old.
The hearts who keep their wateh-area bright,
On sleepy headlands, she
In many tones speaks day and night,
The language of the sea
They hear her voice, deep-toned and grave,
Breaking against the beach
As 1t rolls In, wave after wave,
Into mighty speech,
AT intervals it cOmeth low,
Soothing aud soft and calm,
With undulations, like the slow,
Smooth waving of the palm,
And there are thoughtful hearts and meek,
Tender and wise aud good,
To whom, think, she loves to speak
The language Of the wood.
Fair words that wear the sunshine's gold
Between the April showers,
Come to them softly in the mould
OF tender leaves and flowers,
Soft whispers on summer day
Come floating through the trees,
And thrill these hearts, while others say
"'1s but passing breeze"
| Toward the wood their footsteps turn,
Tho cold and bleak aud bare,
They always hear her voice and learn
A sunny wisdom there.
Oil bless this wise interpreter
To whom the gift is given
| To Boothe the hearts who come to hear,
And charm them up to heaven.
-Rarl RiUers.
