IMPORTANT TO DoCTORs. - In the
case of the State VS.. DR.. ID. +. Berke-
ley the Court of Appeals decided last
week that under section Z, chapter 80,
Of the Code, if physician gives pre-
scription to enable one to obtain liquor
from druggist as medicine, either
stating that it is, or that he believes it
is, absolutely necessary as medicine,
and not as a beverage. when he either
knows, or believes, or has reason to be.
lieve, it is not so necessary, or when he
does not know it to be so necessary, he
violates said statute, and is guilty of
the offense it creates. The physician
must act in entirely good faith. 1t is
his duty to examine and ascertain
whether the liquor is absolutely neces-
sary as medicine.

A GOLDEN EAGLE.-An immense
golden eagle is on exhibition at the sa-
loon of Doss & Tardy on Third avenue
1t is one Of the very finest specimens
of the great American bird and is at
tracing great many people to see it..
The bird weighs 80 pounds and meas
ures s feet and A inches from tip to tip.
One of the curious things in connec-
ton with it is the constant companion
ship of chicken. In the cage with
the eagle is kept a small hen, which
seems to be on the most friendly
terms with the imperious bird of free
dom. It will huddle up under the
wing of the eagle in most perfect con-
tent, and few days ago it was turned
out Of the cage and 1t Immediately ran
back TO the protection of the big eagle.
This specimen of the eagle is very rare,
and is found only in the widest and
most uninhabited parts of the country,
and 1t is said that this one was caught
in such location over near Meadow
Bluff, and was brought down Snake
Run and over Keeney's Knob.-Hinton

A SPECIAL Of the End instant from
Monterey, Highland county, to the
Richmond Dispatch, says:
About five weeks ago a stranger
passed down the Crabbottom Valley,
driving nine head of fine 3-year- old
cattle. Last week two gentlemen from
Greenbrier county. West Va, passed
along the same trail, making inquiry
about the stranger and bis small drove
One OF them stated that the cattle were
stolen from his herd in Greenbrier
more than month ago, but were not
missed at the time. He had a friend
with him, and hoped to find, identify,
and recover the stock, but had little
idea OF overtaking the bold thief, as he
had nearly five weeks the start Of them.
1t appears that the cattle were taken in
the direction of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad"
These must have been the cattle lost
by Mr.. w. NJ. Coffman of this county,
and which have not been recovered.
