To CURE THE BITE OF A MAD Doa.-Au
esteemed citizen of Frederick hands US the
following from An old almanac:
A German forest-keeper, sixty-two years
of age, not wishing to carry to the grave
with him an important secret, has published
in the Leipzig Journal, a recipe he has used
for fifty years, and which he says has saved
several men and great number of animals
from horrible death by hydrophobia. The
bite must be bathed as soon as possible with
warm vinegar and water, and when this has
dried few drops of muriatlc acid poured
upon the wound, will destroy the poison OF

present or future danger.-Netcs.

or eight months ago every newspaper and

columns and columns to ponderous article
upon the subject of good roads: to-day
silence upon this subject is painful. We dc
not know it all. but we recall that at tn.
time that go much gray matter of the bralr
was being transformed into Intelligent {?
thought upon this subject, We took occasion
to say that good roads" discussion was the
reigning fad that every leading citizen WHIT
did not contribute 10 the current literature
on the subject was falling In his duty 70 hil
constituency and that not only would thu
discussion come to an end eventually, but
that unless something decidedly more prac-
tical should be shortly suggested, that thu
roads and road systems would be the SAM
after as before the discussion.
Now we are not prepared to say that tina
discussion wholly failed to change anclen
methods, but we are in shape to say that il
