DIED OF FRIGHT.
Pathetic Story of Torrill's Corner Dog
The Poor Creature Must Have Suffered
Mental Torture.

. At Morrills' Corner. previous to the last
severe thunderstorm. the son of Benjamin
Bailey eowned dog, a setter that was
valuable animal for hunting. 1t had always
exhibited an extraordinary fear of thunder
and lightning, which seemed to grow worse.
During this last storm it seemed to be in
unusual terror and kept up constant yelp-
ing and whining. Finally there was a
tremendous thunder clap, the dog uttered
an ear-piercing yell and then was silent. :.
They went to his corner. He was dead
dead from fright. There was nothing the
matter with him, nor was he an ole dog.
This recalls the fact that when Mr.. LARA
bees cottage was struck on Little Diamond,
this year, the flag staff was driven into
splinters that were hurled with much force
in all directions. One of these struck huge
st. Barnard dog, the property of Mr.. Horace
Durham. Some of the hair was knocked
off, but the wound was very slight, never
theless the great st. Bernard has ever since
exhibited great fear during thunder storm.

1t is not surprising that the young mil
lionairo has decided to partially follow
Mr.. Astor's example in expatrlating him
self. He has never been welcomed by what
is called society in New York; but, though
his boat has boon able to win very few
races against the crack British yachts, his
own race for British social recognition has
been quite successful
The standards of society are arbitrary
and different in every land. Birth alone
is supposed to unlock its portals in Aus
tria. Birth or money is spoken of as es-
scntial ia London, and it has been said
that a golden key will always open the
doors in AWerica. This last is not wholly
correct Money is necessary part of the
equipment of one who would live society

a life require the expenditure of much

The fourteenth annual congress will
convene at Parkersburg, w. Va, the
first week in October. Each state and
territory is entitled to as many dele
gates in the farmers national congress
as it has national senators and congress
men, and each state bureau of agricul-
ture is entitled to delegate, all to be
voluntarily appointed by the state gov
ernor. All social and economical ques-
tions affecting the farmers will be dis
oussed. 1t has recently taken strong
stand for free mail delivery in the rural

highways, waterways and railways, of
taxation, mail delivery, option trading
and farmers organizations. The secreta-

Notes of Local Interest.


Hay is harvested little earlier tnan
formerly.
In crossing for broilers the New Eng
land Homestead says that much depends
ON whether they are for table or for mar
ket For the table always use Game
male; for market, Brahma or Cochin
hens. Mate them later with a Wyandot,
Plymouth Rock, White Wonder. Java
or Langshan male, and you will have
hardy chicks and lose but few of them.
1t may not be the best, but chicks from
such crosses will grow fast, will be
hardy and also present an attractive ap-
pearance in the market.
A novel use for the hand hayralle il
to use it as a cultivator for the corn
crop. One successful farmer tells the
Massachusetts Ploughman that he can
rake over about an acre a day when the
corn is finger high. The hayrake and
the horse cultivator are the only tools
used but the result is a fine crop, with
few weeds.
IN New York state there is every
prospect of an abundant crop, and the
same is true in other northern states.
The New York state fair, to be held
at Syracuse from Sept. to 10, promises
to be a notable occasion. Large pre-
miums will be offered, and the display
of farm products will be worth going
many miles to see.

wealth was of such a character as to cause
many tender spots, sure to break out into
open sores whenever he should seek to be
considered fit for society's smiles.
James Gordon Bennett, the elder, strove
long and flercely, but without avail, to
enter society after his newspaper had won
his millions. The Vanderbilt family got
in not more than dozen years ago, and
their entrance cost them n pretty penny.
A. T. Stewart was barred out Among
living celebrities Charles A. Dana, bril-
liant, brainy and rich has no social stand
ing ia the city that supports his paper so
well. Theodore Havemeyer the sugar
man, is of the elect, but his brother Henry
o. is excluded. Harry lie Grand Cannon,
the artist, comparatively poor, is in. Col
lis p. Huntington, with all his millions,
is out.
But to return to the Goulds. 1t is stat
ed that George had no need to go to London
to secure the stamp of social approval that
the wounds inflicted years ago by the ia
Their in Instrumental rise have so far healed
that the only thing necessary for the son
to have done in order to have obliterated
them from the memory of society was to
give n few expensive entertainments in
New York His invitations, it was claimed
would have been accepted by every one
and the expense of such "a course, though
considerable, would have been much less
than has been that of his yachting cam
paign in English waters. Evidently Mr.
Gould, though shy of paying heavy taxes,
concluded that, when it came to buying "A
stamp of social standing, it was worth
while to get the best article in the market.
Once it was known, he reasoned, that the
obese little man who is heir to the British
throne had approved, no one in New York
would declare the mark n spurious one.
1t does not make your thorny path to
social recognition any smoother in Lon
don beyond introductions to few of the
clubs that you are we'll received in New
York, but if you present yourself in New
York with even the appearance of being
used to London society the way is open, as
witness the great number of grooms and
waiting women who have imposed them
selves as lords and ladies upon the credu
lous society folk of Manhattan Island in
years past. George Gould's beautiful ac-
tress wife, then, may expect that when she
returns to New York the cards of the most
exclusive of that city's society matrons
will be left upon her. 1t will be a huge
joke if she shall decline to return the calls.
The Goulds have certainly received all
the recognition they could well care for in
England They have been entertained by
many others besides the Prince of Wales,
and the newspapers have followed society S
