DIR. Young's Fate.

At Bangor, NJ, DR.. C. Z. Young,
a well-known physician here, lies in
the county Jail apparently a hope
less maniac. A few days ago he
had a slight shock, but continued to
attend to his business until a day or
two ago. On arriving home he
called in the aged housekeeper, and,
commanding her to stand in q cor
ner Of the room, stripped her face
with stove poke, meanwhile recit-
ing from Macbeth. He told the
terror-stricken woman that he
should kill her later. His brother
came IN and was locked iu the room
and was informed he must give up
his life, but while the Doctor was
after his knives the brother made
his escape. The insane man then
made his way TO the leading hotel
there and compelled the clerk to
show him 10 various rooms where
there were people whom he desired
10 kill.
He was finally captured by the
police. Four OF the day police re-
fused 10 remain with him at his
home through the night he being
OF great strength and the officials
fearing they might seriously injure
him should he attack them. He will
be sent 10 the insane asylum.

a sick neighbor halt a mile distant

through a lonely woods on his re.

Of wolves. He was unarmed, but
seized a large stick, andas the wolves
came closer and closer he kept them
at bay while he halloed for help. A
big wolf sprang at him, but he
beat il of, wounding it, and made q
break for tree. The wolves fol.
lowed, snarling aud swapping at his
heels. Again Phillipot drove them
back and ran TO another tree. In
this way he succeeded in getting in
sight Of his house, and his cries
brought ass stance. The rescue was
timely, as Phillipot tainted from ex.
hauston just as help reached him.

What q Bob Tailed Dog Did.

A bob tailed dog has unseated the
mayor Of Newport. Ky. That town
has an ordinance taxing dogs ur ;
dollar and imposing q fine Of three
dollars on any owner who refuses to
pay the tax. At one house in the
town this yellow cur had taken up
his quarters, and when the assessor
came around he listed him to the
owner Of the house against his protest.
He refused 70 pay the tax and was
fined in the mayors court three dol
lars. Declining 10 pay the fine be
was sent TO prison. On his release
he sued the mayor and town marshal
for 5000 damages. On the trial Of
the cause was discovered that the
mayor bad failed to qualify as the
law directs. and the court decided
that all Of his acts were illegal, as he
was not the mayor Of the town. Thus
has Q ten cent cur broken up q city
