HE COULDN'T TALK.
But He Wrote Readily Enough.

About 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning n
young man probably 20 years old, of light
complexion. medium statute, presented him
self at the residence of Mr.. W. II. Grosh.
claiming that he could neither hear nor talk,
but communicated by writing that he desired
to see Mr.. Grosh who was at the time absent.
and the young man was informed accord
ingly. During this time the young man was
left standing outside on the porch, apparently
much to his dissatisfaction, for he next wrote
short lecture on poiteness, as follows:
"Polteness costs nothing I am very sorry
that there exists such al expression of in
humanity in n civilized world Remember
that all strangers are not robbers or mendi-
cants,' signed by Robert Brian. (Es) Hamlin
& Mason Organ Factory, 1921 Walnut street
Philadelphia" The quotations are given
verbatim, the young man evidently intending
to sign himself rs agent for the Estey Organ
Co, but changed his mind and signed Hamlin
Il Mason, no doubt meaning Mason & Hamlin.
After this communication the young man
took himself off in Il great huff"
At the time of the young mans advent
there were no men about the house, and at
such times no risks are taken in the admission
of strangers, without credentials.
The strangers actions seemed to lead to
the conclusion that he was a little ''off," as it
is hardly likely that Mason & Hamlin would
have a representative who was deaf and
dumb and who travelled without the usual
credentials.

CONDITION OF THE ICE.
A Heavy Rain Along the Susquehanna
Would Flood Port Deposit.

Latest reports from Port Deposit state that
the warmer weather is gradually wearing the
lie away, and unless a heavy rain occurs
along the Susquehanna river the prospect Of
a flood is but slight.
The recent rain has swollen the river, but
not sufficiently to cause any alarm, 50 that the
only fear the residents OF Port Deposit have
is OF heavy rain. The ice gorge has been
broken from Octoraro Creek to the northern
limits of Port Deposit, and from Octoraro
Creek to Conowingo the ice is breaking up.
However. the situation is unpleasant and
there is considerable uneasiness on the part
of the citizens living in the upper end OF the
town and within reach of the water should it
back up.

Mad Dogs in Kent County.

Mad dogs are creating grave concern in
Kent county. The number of rabid dogs has
been so great that it is impossible to calculate
to what extent the county has become inocu-
lated. A dog on Sunday covered fully
twenty five miles of territory and bit great
number Of dogs, a hog and attacked colored
woman before being killed. Parents are
AFRAID to send their children to school and
much anxiety is felt for cattle and horses and
other farm stock.
petition was presented to the board of
county commissioners yesterday asking that
they enforce the muzzling of every dog in the
county and ordered that all dogs found I'M
muzzled shall be killed. This law has been
enforced in Chestertown. A large number of
dogs in town have been killed and the rest
are muzzled.
The commissioners, while having full pow
ers to impose IA tax upon dogs, are not sure
OF their legal authority to enforce the muzzl-
ing. They have the matter under advise
ment and will consult counsel.

painter, slipped and plunged head first under
the ice. His companion j. X. Miller, a tai
lor Of Newark, Immediately pulled off his
coat and vest and kneeling down on the ice felt
under the edge for Hulings. When this plan
did not succeed he let himself down in the
water and holding on, first by log which
was at hand and then merely to the side of
the broken ice, lowered himself under the ice
and felt around till he caught hold of Hulings'
coat sleeve, he pulled Hulings from under the
ice into the open hole. Fortunately there
is but little current in the water of the pond
Hulings is a large man, weighing 215 pounds
\and very active. He got up upon the ice
Hrst and then pulled his almost exhausted
rescuer from the water.
lThe rescue is all the more remarkable as
Miller is IA slightly-built man and has an arti-
i$al leg.
