SUGAR TREE, March 80.

A small, crippled, deaf and dumb
negro boy created an exciting time
in South Camden Wednesday even
ing at late hour, Sheriff w. A.
Lashlee was aroused from his slum-
ber by a telephone message sum-
moning him to the depot instanter,
and accompanied by Mr. Robert L.
Phillips they reported promptly.
They found Express Agent w. A.
Yarbrough and W. L. Morris, ESQ.,,
held prisoners in the station by the
negro boy, whose peculiar action
led them to strongly believe that
he manifested SYMPTOMS Of hydro
phobia. Subsequent events, how
ever, lead to the conclusion that the
boy was half-starved, and in a crude
almost animal-like way was trying
to makes his wants known. He is
emaciated, and when given food he
devoured it with the nervousness
Of wild beast eager for prey. He
was given lodging at the Jail that
night by Sheriff Lashlee. Being
deaf and dumb and ignorant, it is
impossible to learn anything about
the boy or where he came from.

the Maine delegation since 1873, and re-
moves a striking figure from the House

made him a valuable member. 1t is not
often that speaking ability and working
ability are combined as in our late Rep

The sudden and unexpected death of
Congressman Milliken precipitates upon
the thild district the selection of his sue
cessor. Chap. 81, Public laws, 1881. says
that whenever a vacancy in the office of
representative occurs when Congress is in
session the governor shall forthwith
issue his proclamation to ill such vacancy.
Congress IS in session and an election
must he ordered at once. The matter
will be considered at his weeks meeting
Of the council. The friends of Hon E.
G. Bulleigh Of Augusta are urging that
he be candidate, and he would certainly
be q most faithful and useful Representa-
tive.

Young Hadlock, son of Harvey D.,
lately deceased, a boy of seven or eight
years, Is said to resemble Daniel Webster
quite IS much as his father did. Boston
Record
Very likely. Webster was great man
and Hadlock a big man; but if the por-
traits and descriptions of Webster may be
relied upon there was no resemblance in
form or feature between the two men:
and Mr., Hadlock's well reputation
as lawyer did not depend on fancied
resemblance to the statesman of a former
generation.

The recommendation that Zion's Her.
aid be elieapened in price and quality was
emphatically disapproved by the Confer
ence LIion's Herald
That was a wise decision There are
enough cheap papers - indeed, we
might say cheap and nasty''-and it
would be cause for regret should Zion
Herald abandon its high standard and
seek a lower level, intellectually and typo
graphically. The cheap papers are main
ly edited with saw, and their production
calls for neither brains nor labor. They
are just about as interesting and as valu-
able as a last yea1's almanac or a last
years birds nest.
