GREAT poes-MAcR TAKES THE CAKE.


You all have heard. no doubt. of
the pointer dog that pointed the law
yer's sign-"A. Partridge" by name
or of the setter that became lost from
her owner whilst hunting and was
found. several DAYS later, standing
birds, with litter of puppies which
she had given birth TO while standing
all back pointing her. and they had
held the birds so long that they (the
birds) had become SO weak and still
that the hunter picked them all up.
The above we cannot vo, CHI for. but
the following was told by men whose
veracity has never been questioned.
The crack shot and genial fellow w.
r. saw this: He was travelling along
the pike, near HaIltown, when he
saw a pointer standing birds, with
her litter of FIVE puppies back stand
ing her beautifully. The puppies
were five weeks old. j. f. is author
ity for the following: He was SUN
moned to his home-his dog was mad.
He found Mace in the sitting-room, on
dead point. He called, cuffed and
kicked him, but Mace would not
break his point Finally j. f. 90
served a piece of paper lying on the
floor that Mace was cycling intently.
He opened the paper and 10 it was a
composition on birds, written by his
daughter, and among other things
she had mentioned partridges. Mace
had scented the word. The compost
ton was put into the stove. Mace
licked his chops (smelled the birds
broiling) and quietly left the room.

From the Statesman:

From the Statesman:
We regret to state that Mrs. John
Blair Hoge met with quite painful
accident last week by falling from q
chair upon which she was standing
adjusting the cord on a picture hang
ing on the wall. She received q
broken bone in one OF her limbs and
other injuries. This illustrates the
propensity of women generally to
climb on chairs. sewing machines,
mantel-pieces and any convenient OBJ
ject to hang pictures, curtains, &c.
Better get step ladder or have some
one else to do the work. Mrs. Hoge
has our sympathy and we hope for
her speedy recovery.
Mr.. James Lakewood died at the
residence of his daughters on West
King street in this city on Sunday
evening last. New Years day, at an
advanced age. Had he lived until
next April he would have been SO
years old He Was born in this conn
ty and raised a large family Of chill
dren. eight of whom survive him.
He was an eccentric man and WAS
noted for his numerous litigations.
His funeral took place on Wednesday
and the interment was in the Presby-
terrain cemetery at Tuscarora.
From the Herald:
Lee NJ. Bender bought the II. d.
Kilmer farm for $1,000.
Mr.. A. J. Thomas has purchased his
late farm near town from the Devel-
opment Company.
Messrs. David Price, OF Clarksburg,
and Stewart Boyd, of this city, have
purchased the fire insurance business
of Mr.. s. l.. Dodd.
From the Independent:
The franchise of the Martinsburg
Electric Light and Power Company
has been accepted by the incorpora-
tors of that company, and as soon as
arrangements can be made the new
company will go to work.
On Thursday evening about half
past four, just after the workmen had
left the picture frame factory, flames
broke out in the engine-room Of tho
building. and in short time the
whole building was in seething mass
of flames. There being no means Of
saving the building, the few specta-
tors could only stand by and see the
flames devour the whole structure.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, and
we learn that there was no insurance.
Mr.. A. F. Kuebler is the owner OF the
factory, and will be heavy loser.
The NJ. NJ. NJ. g. l. Co. were also losers
to great extent as lien-holders. Mr..
Kuebler is indeed unfortunate, and
we are sorry that the loss falls so
greatly on him and the Improvement
Company.

An Old Berkeley Dwelling Burned.

An Old 6erkeIeT dwelling burned.
Att o'clock last Sunday morning
the old Wysong residence at Darkes-
vile, Berkeley county, occupied by
Mr.. John w. Wysong, was destroyed
by fire. The family with difficulty es-
capped from the burning building.
Nothing but few pieces of furniture
on the ground floor, that the citizens
OF the town succeeded in getting out,
was saved, so rapidly did the flames
spread. The supposed origin OF the
fire was from bucket OF ashes emp
tied In the smoke-house, in close prox-
unity to the dwelling. There may be,
and doubtless are, older buildings in
Berkeley county, but no one living,
as far as we could learn, could say
when this particular one was built. 1t
was log house. plastered within and
weather-boarded on the outside-a
wa run place OF habitation. bat very
dangerous one in case of fire. This,
fortunately for the town Of Darkes-
vile, is the only fire that has occurred.
we are informed, since the burning OF
the old Hollis Hotel more than fifty
years ago.

Ehe case Of Warren Richardson, ST.,
against Harry B. Henderson, state cx-
aminer, was argued in the Supreme
Court on the Goth. The case was
brought to determine who is entitled
to the Office Of state examiner. Rich
ardson was appointed to the Office by
Governor Osborne on the 22nd Of Aug
ust last, but Henderson refuses 10 give
up the Office, claiming that there is no
vacancy and that the governor Ind no
right to appoint. Henderson was ap-
pointed by Acting Governor Barber in
December last. Soon after Governor
Osborne assumed the duties Of his Of
fee he appointed Henderson's success
sor, but the Senate refused to confirm
the nomination. Because Of this fact
Henderson claims the right to hold
over until the legislature convenes in
