FROM PRESENT appearances it seems
that Mr.. Grace, chief of the anti-snap-
pers, is bent on running q municipal
ticket in New York city opposed to the
regular democratic ticket. The anti
snappers succeeded IN preventing the
denomination of the favorite of the New
York democracy for the Presidency,
and it now appears that they are doing
all they can to defeat the election OF
their own nominee, by driving away
from him the organization whose united
support is the only means by which he
can possibly be elected.

THE DRoUGHT.-The drought, in this county
has not yet been broken, the few cloudy
mornings this week cheered our people with
the hope that rain would soon come, but their
hopes were not realized With the loss to our
corn crop and the great damage to the young
clover crop, which was so fiatteringat harvest
time, we have an unfortunate year for the
farmers of I.oudoun Some Of them are cut
ting off their corn, and getting ready for seed
ing. Some six ,or eight years ago, Irc had
such drought, which continued unit. aftcr
seeding, and the result was we did not raise
wheat sufficient the nextyear to pay expenses.
If this drought continues as that did we sus-
pect there will be but little wheat seeded

That mad dog was not killed on Sun day, as stated in last weeks BEE, but on Friday, 18th, at 3 p m. The dog was about 30 feet from MT Costello, instead of three, when shot. E. NJ. Botsford's dog killed chickens for MT Madigan, MT Otis and MT Riley, also for Father Fox, so 1 am told. A painter working on the place saw Botsford's dog killing chickens and yelled mad dog. Father Fox's dog was on the stoop and was immediately called in. But, it is more than suppos- able, on account of what has happened since, that, either before or after the dog was called in, it was bitten. It is very hard to tell where dog will not go and, as Botsford's dog must have been around some time to have killed all the chickens that it is given credit for killing, it; is probable that the two dogs met. There is no doubt in my mind that the dog was mad. If so, ought not dogs bitten by the two mad dogs to be killed. MT Drake has set good example by having his dog shot. c. B. Johnson will also dis pose of his. And, unless the people of Newtown want mad dogs running around all Summer, others had better follow suit.- John R. Peck.

The brusque and fussy im- pulse of these days of false impression would rate down nX as worthless because 0ze is unworthy.
 As If there were no notes in sunbeams !

 Because one remedy pro- fcsses to do what 1t never was adapted to do, are all remedies worthless !?
 Because one doctor lets his patient die, are all hurnbugs ]?
 It requires a fine eye and a finer brain to discriminate ito draw the differential line.
