told DR.. w. T. Herring that it was
impossible to freeze fish to death,
hut he was not fully convinced and
deci9 ed to test the matter the first
opportunity. Last week he tried it,
putting two young carp in a jar of
water, and, allowing it to freeze al
most solid, except about a table
spoonful of water about the little
fish. The fish did not seem to mind
it much, and as soon as the ice
thawed out they swan around sas
lively as ever.
We have just found out why
blockade liquor lie called wild cat
juice. Not long since when the
revenue officers upset q di3tillery in
the mountains, out fell we'll cook
ed wild cat, together with peck of
buckeye roots and tobacco stems.
The cat fell in one Of the still tubs
and when the still was filled up in
darkness the cat was not discovered.
The wild cat ingredients make a
man fight, the tobacco makes him
sick and the buckeye roots give him
fits. This combination cannot be
beaten to produce real h on earth.

rest for arson" So reads a press
dispatch sent out from Carr0lton.

sociated with two others, is some>
thing more than arson. 1t was the
work of an incarnate 6end, whom 1t
tries the patience of one to call hu-
man. Widow White borrowed some
money from Bentord last fall and
could not pay it when due. He de-
handed that she turn her farm and
home over to him, without process
Of law, to settle the debt. This she
refused to do, when he threatened
the woman with violence, for which
she had him arrested and placed
under peace bond. On Wednes
day night Benford went to Mrs.
Whites home, with two other men,
/ drove her and children from it, took
her household goods out, and burned
the shouse.
