More HydrOph0bIa.

Another mad dog scare struck the
river section a few miles east of here
one day last week. A dog evidently
suffering from hydrophobia, came to
the residence of Mr.. James Sine, on the
river farm belonging to Mr.. b. z. New
man. When seen the dog started up
the river and Mr.. Sine at once armed
himself and mounting a horse started
in pursuit. In it's route up the river
the rabid animal bit four or five dogs
and man narrowly escaped the same
fate. Mr.. Sine overlook and shot the
dog On the river bridge near Triplett's
mill. All the dogs that were known to
have been bitten were killed. Where
the rabid animal started from is I'M
kno xn, and it may have travelled a
large scope of country and bit many
dogs without its being known.
= x K
We have been informed that dog
at the lower end of this county, became
rabid a few days ago and left home.
This may possibly be the dog that was
killed at the river bridge.-Shenan-

The Wilson Bill.

The Bait. Sun of Saturday last says
that the Senate subcommittee having
in charge the revision of the Wilson
| tariff bill intends reporting measure
which will meet all the requirements
of the treasury. 1t is reported that the
finance committee will report the tariff
bill to the Senate Thursday. 1t has
been decided by the democratic Sena
tors having the revision of the Wilson
bill in charge that the form of that
measure as to schedules shall be retain
| ed. The prepondcrance of opinion
about the Senate seems favorable to
tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle wants AN
increase in the tax on manufactured
tobacco. Senators who advocate a tax
on coal are said to be feeling cheerful
over the prospect of their desire being
gratified. j. Crawford Lyon, of Balti
more, is renewing his efforts to have
the duty on oil cloth and linoleum re-
duced. Notwithstanding they have
met with very little encouragement,
advocates of tax on wool hope of be-
ing able to secure change in the tariff
bill after it is reported to the Senate
We find the following interesting
item in the Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch:
ALLIANCE, OHIO, February "a
colony of negroes, comprising some 200
people, who have lived on farms five
miles north of this place for the past
twenty years, have sold their farms and
to day started for old Virginia. They
shipped their household goods several
days ago, and intend to make their flu
ture homes where most of them were
reared in slavery. They are intell
gent, hard working people, and think
they will do much better at farming in
Virginia, although they have been fair
ly successful here"
The fact, as the Iaadeg-Appeal says,
that these people return deliberately
and of their own choice after a twenty
years. trial of farm life in the west is
proof of the truth for which we have
always contended that the south is the
best place for the negro. That the
Ohio colonists should have finally
reached this conclusion will be pain
full shock to the bloody-shirt republi-
can organs of the north and west. 1t

mendacious misrepresentati

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, AND
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

Ballot Reform.

In an article on this subject, the
Richmond State says
"There is no doubt of the fact that
there is a strong sentiment and a grow
ing sentiment among the Democrats
of Virginia in favor Of bailo5 reform.
For the past few years leading men of
the State have been thinking, and
they have been liking this matter
over among themselves. Public senti-
1nent has been cry stalking for some
time past. and reform will come. But
the Times will pardon us for saying,
for we say it respectfully and sincerely,
that we believe that the Times and it's
closest followers are today the greatest
obstacle in the way of the coming
change.
Let the strife cease. Let Democrats
of all other classes harmonic their
differences and agree to come together
at the earliest possible moment upon a
platform of patriotism, and of common
interest, and the desire of all honest
Virginians will soon be realized"

Bismarck and his Emperor, it is clear
that there is no intention to abandon
the liberal commercial policy of
Caprivi for the protectionist notions of
his predecessor. The text of the Rus

which is just made public, discloses
that, in return for the lower duties in
