A WELL As a BAROMETER.

1t Is on Cattaraugus County Farm, and
IufaUIhly oretelis Weather.
There is a curious we'll on the Flint
farm, in the town of Great Valley, Cat
taraugus county, n. Y. 1t is natural
barometer. Nobody ever passes that
farm, winter or summer, if the weather
is settled, without asking something
like this:
docs the well threaten changer
For everyone knows that if there is
bad weather coming the well will let
the New York Sun.
They call the well up there the
''whistling WELL" although it doesn't
whistle now. But that isn't any fault
of the well. This well was dug about
fifty years ago by the father of Col.
Flint, who now occupies the farm. He
put it down forty-fve feet, but found
no water, and dug no further. Instead
of water, strong current of air came
from the well at times. The opening
was covered with big fiat stone, and
for amusement hole was drilled in
the stone and big tin whistle fitted
into it. This whistle had two tones
one when the air rushed up from the
well, and different che when the
counter current sucked the air back
into the mysterious depths. It wasn't
long before the discovery was made
that within forty-eight hours after the
outrushing current from the well
started the whistle to shrieking a
storm invariably followed. When the
tone Of the whistle was changed by
the reversing of the current, it was
discovered that the change meant
change and the coming of fair weather
These weather signals never failed.
When the weather was settled the
whistle was silent. The whistle got
out of order some years ago, and, for
some reason, was never repaired, but
the coming and going currents of air
still prophesy the coming of their re-
spective ''spells of weather with I'M
varying infallibility. 4

A NEW REGiM E.

A staff correspondent OF the New
York Tribune in North Carolina finds
encouraging indica ions there OF break
ing up OF old party lines. The people
have become tired ,of machines govern
ment and dishonest elections, and there
is general and growing demand for re-
form. The present system of elections
and local government in North Caro-
lima, was established by the Democrats
in 1877 Ior the purpose OF perpetuating
that party in power. It reduces ma
chine government to very simple sys
TEN. About all that the people have to
do is to elect a legislature. The legis-
lature elects justices of the peace for
each county, and these justices appoint
five commissioners for each county,
who levy taxes, regulate public expend-
itures, elect the school boards and ap-
point registrars and, poll book holders
for every election district in the state.
Thus the election of a Democratic leg
islature insures local Democratic gov
eminent throughout the state and the
undisputed control of the election ma
chinery. The mayors of nearly all Cit
les are elected by boards of alderman,
and the cities are gerrymandered so as
to make these solidly Democratic. The
result has been that for seventeen years
past the Repu blicans of North Carolina
have been practically 6isfranchised and
the government has been Republican
only in name.
But the people are getting tired of
this state of things, and out of sheer
shame are beginning to demand better
election laws and fair elections. The
Populists, finding that the Democratic
machine was used against them as re-
lentlessly as it had been against the
Republicans, have joined hands with
the latter in demanding election reform

and home rule in local affairs. There
is no longer any fear of negro domino
ton, and the repeal of the federal cleo
ton laws has removed what nearly all
southern whites regarded. whether
reasonable or not, as a standing
menace. 1t is certainly an interesting
fact that the repeal of these laws should
be followed so soon by decided move
ment in several southern states for bet
ter state election laws. The Tribune
correspondent thinks a revival of the
Lodge bill or any similar form OF federal
legislation at this time would be harm
full in that it would tend to solidify the
Democratic vote and reopen the race
question. This may be strong talk for
northern ears" says the correspondent,
"but it is justified by the opinion of all
earnest and intelligent Republicans in
this state, who have made a courageous
and often heroic stand for principles
and convictions and patiently endured
insult, persecution and obloquy." As
the present disposition of the southern
people seems to be towards better cleo
ton laws and fairer elections, perhaps
it would be wise to await the outcome
of the movement rather than take the
risk of arresting or retarding it by re-
vival of the race question.

A Card from DIR. Wood.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In view of the surprising termination or
the society's prosecution yesterday IN the
Police Court. think II proper to give
the public a brief outline OF the admitted
facts, which, in the judgment of the So
cietys officers, not only Justified, but de-
manded a vigorous prosecution.
] HOPE ii is not necessary to- tell the
Richmond public that ] and my associ-
ates are without personal feeling or
prejudice in the matter, and have only
been impelled by strong sense or duty.
We feel, however. that actions which
would have been prosecuted by us as
matter of course against individuals or
an humber station could not be over
looked.
The admitted facts are briefly as fol-
lows Or. Pollard admitted. and this ad-
mission was confirmed by the unanimous
voice OF all the witnesses, that after
having caused the dogs removal from
the lecture-room several times he dis
tncty and emphatically ordered Mr..
Gwaltney TO throw or put or toss the
dog (whatever the language out or the
window, and DR.. Pollard insisted that
this course was justifable, as he con-
sidered the instruction OF youth and the
undisputed attention of his class or more
value than the life or comfort OF a cur
The measurement by the agent OF the
society of the height OF this window
from the ground was twenty-four feet.
and IL was in testimony that the dog
fell either upon a brick pavement or upon
a smooth. hard ground-not grass.
The witnesses united in saying that the
breath was knocked out OF the dog S
body, and that he lay still for time.
and many OF them asserted positively
that the dog limped and appeared to be
hurt. 1t may naturally be supposed that
but for the cloths with which the dog
was wrapped the injury would have been
greater; In any event the intent was the
same. 1t has been spirited away. and
q diligent search on our part has not
enabled us to discover Its whereabouts
or condition.
1t does not seem to have occurred to
DR.. Pollard that 1t was Unfair to punish
a senseless brute for the antics Of stu
dents, doubtless as distasteful to the
animal as to the Professor; nor does 1t
seem TO have occurred to him that the
attention OF his class could have been
insured and It's instruction made possible
by requesting one OF his thirty-odd stu
dents or his five or six janitors TO re-
move this harmless little animal aud
lock him up.
So much for the evidence. The law
under which this prosecution was had
makes II an offense. punishable by fine
or Imprisonment. To torture or ill-treat
any animal or to wilfully set on foot.
instigate. or engage In. or In any way
further an act OF cruelty.
leave II to an intelligent public
whether this does not plainly show q vio-
lation of the law which should have
been punished.
