Drummer Attacked by a Fox.

This remarkable story is from the Pearls
burg Vu-ginian: A drummer driving
through one of the southwestern counties
recently was surprised at the approach of
a grey-fox, which ran alongside of his
horses and snapped at their heels. He
drew his pistol and fred, killing it: and
carried it into town. 1t was skinned and
the hide left with a merchant Remark
able to state, in few days the hair all
came off the hide. The drummer's theory
is that the fox had hydrophobia, which
does not seem improbable"

NEGRO LABOR AGENTS
Have a Lively Experience at Enfield, N

fepecial telegram 70 the Dispat.h.l
RALEIGH, n. c.. February S.-Yesterday
evening two labor agents had lively ex-
perience at Enfield. on the Wilmington
and Weldon railway. The agents were
Richard Hill. of the Houston and Texas
Central railway, and Charles Jones. OF the
East tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail-
way. They had secured four hundred ne
groes, whom they were taking away on
special train. The white people some days
ago said they would not permit the labor
agents to continue the removal OF negroes.
A party OF men last evening uncoupied the
cars and stopped the train. Hill ana
Jones were arrested. The former. was re-
leased upon signing paper stating that
he would never return TO that section.
Jones had to give bond for $500 for his APP
pearance at the next term of court to an
swer O charge of removal of contract-laoor.
T. NJ. Emerson, Of the Atlantic-Coast Line,
went bail for Jones, who then took the
negroes on to Arkansas. The case created
much stir. The sheriffs in that section
make all the negroes settle their taxes be-
fore they leave, and some have had to pay
three years taxes which were due. The
agents pay these taxes in all cases.

DAyyI,IR, Va, February 8.-The tobacco
market has been very active this week; and
il is said that the prices on all grades nave
ranged higher than at any time during the
present tobacco year. Wrappers aud hilers
were more in demand than other grades
and sold for big prices. Manufacturers had
a good weeks business and shipped about
10000 pounds OF plug. 4.
Commodore Bateman and party OF
capitalists interested IN the Atlantic ana
Danville road arrived here this morning
from New York and went on tour OF IN
spection over the road from Danville 10
Portsmouth.
The people here are still exercised over
the charter question, and the subject has
been the chief topic of conversation t0r
several DAYS past. Some citizens are SUN
much opposed to the passage of the char
ter, and may yet make a fight in the Legs
lature before the bill is disposed OF IN the
House.
FUNNY FoRGER.
Ii was mentioned in this correspondence
some time ago that John ID. Atkins had
been arrested here for trying to pass bogus
orders ON warehouse. The case came up
in the Mayors Court to-day, and some In
teresting facts came to light. II was ascer-
tanned that Atkins couldn't write. and evl-
IDENTITY he had accomplices. When CUES
toned he said J. A. Brane and J. u. Banis-
ter had written the orders for him. Both
men admitted having written orders for
Atkins. but said they did so innocentiy,
believing Atkins to be the man whose name
he asked them to sign to the orders.

What to Feed Sheep.

Clover hay is, par excellence. the hay
for sheep. 1t is rich in nitrogen and
potash. and has some sulphur, but
alone it has always. with me, produced
an inflammatory condition of the skin,
and corn and oats will increase this i'll
effect. says Henry Stewart in Country
Gentleman. All plants of. the turnip
tribe contain sulphur largely; rape has
sixteen and one-half per cent OF sui
phuric acid in the ash, white turnips
fourteen and one-quarter per CENT. and
ruta-bagas eight and one-half per cent.
Sheep fed on these roots, or green
cape, always do well. and without
them. or good substitutes. as mangels.
cabbage or sugar beets, there will be
more or less trouble with the wool.
Straw is very poor food for sheep, and
should only be given as litter, of which
a little may be. picked out but never
as food. Unless for fattening. would
not give any grain food. except bran
and oats. with a little linseed oil meal,
with the clover hay and some cured
rape, or-which are the best of this
kind of food-turnips and cabbages.
Some sheaf oats may do very we'll for
a change. Stockman.

liability to rot in the winter. Tho sew.
(eral rules for digging and plans for
banking, killing and housing are
based upon a few simple principles
which seem to be generally accepted.
viz: that the potatoes should be dug
about the time a killing frost is OK
pected, Immediately thereafter; that
they should be handled so as to pre-
vent bruising an, cutting; that they
should be put up in such manner as to
keep OF uniform and rather low tenn
perature (above freezing); that they
should be kept dry. The plan of
pouring dry sand among the
potatoes in the hill or house, so as to
I'LL all the interstices. Is excellent We
have kept potatoes sound. sweet and
dry until potatoes "come again" by
packing in barrels and filling with dry
sand. The sand tends TO prevent sud-
den changes of temperature, it absorbs
and equalizes moisture, and probably
prevents mechanically the spread of
the fungus spores throughout the bulk.
The simplest and cheapest way to hill
is as follows: Dig when the ground is
dry. if possible, about the time OF first
frost, but don't wait for frost If it de-
lays coming; drive post in the ground
and saw off about four feet high; cover
the ground thickly with dry pine
straw; place the potatoes carefully.
pi ing them as steep as they will lie,
and about twenty-five bushels to the
hill; cover the potatoes with pine
straw or dry corn-stalks, regu-
larry laid. not less than six inches
deep; cover over all with dirt dug from
around the outer edge of the hill, at
the first rather shallow, but adding
more dirt as cold weather approaches
until the earth is foot thick at every
point
Now is the time to commence push
ing the pork hogs. After having the
run of the pea field, chufas and pota-
toes they ought TO be fat enough for
pork with very little or no corn at all
The fattening of hogs is simple ques-
ton OF plenty of fattening food admin
istered as often as three times day,
with proper shelter from cold and wet
A pound of food fed now will produce
as much flesh as pound and half
