CHURCH DEDICATED.
The Congregational Building at DanviIe Dedi-
Gated Yesterday.

Yesterday was red letter day for the
Congregationalist OF Danville when
their new house of worship was dedi-
Gated. The new building takes the place
of the one that was burned two years

try churches in Vermont. The dedica-
tory services opened with an invocation
by Rev. F. A. Palmer OF North Danvile.
The responsive reading was conducted
BY Rev. r. W. Darling of Wentworth,
N. H.. former pastor. Rev. p b. Fisk
of Lyndon then offered prayer. After a
hymn by the congregation came the SER
mon by Dr. Heath Of which we give
copious extract.

Dogs That Can Tell the Time.

"The Street Dogs OF Constantinople"
is the title of an article in September St.
Nicholas by Oswald Garrison Willard.
Mr.. Willard says:
The instinct which enables these poor
tramps to tell time is the most astonish-
ing thing about these dogs-I mean their
being on hand, day after day, at regular
hours when the scraps are thrown out,
and there never being much too early or
too late. The superintendent of one OF
the great railway lines ending in Con-
stantinople told me the most remarkable
case of this have yet heard The Orien.
tai Express. the famous train from Paris
to Constantinople, arrives, it seems,
three times week, at certain hour in
the afternoon. When the train comes in
there are always many dogs ready to
receive it. Before the passengers have
had time to get out, the dogs jump into
the carriages and search everywhere
under the seats and in the corners tor the
scraps of luncheon left by the passen.
gers; and when they have found 3af the
pieces they go away. The remarkable
thing is that they never come at any
time except when the Oriental Express is
due; that they never make mistake in
the day, and always remember that
between Friday and Monday there are
two days and not one. They pay no
attention to local trains, because little
or no food is lett in them owing to the
short rides the passengers take. Exactly
this same knowledge OF the time table
and OF the difference between local and
long-distance trains has been noticed at
the station of the Asiatic railways in
Scutari, across the Bosphorus.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
A Little Child's Eyes Burned
Out.
LIVED THREE HOURS.
The Mother Also Badly Burned
-Her Recovery Very
Doubtful

A horrible accident occurred
in Concord, N. c., Saturday at,
ternoon about ; o'clock.
The six-year old twin daugh, j,
ters Of Mrs. J. w. Bernlrafdt
were playing IN the kitchen
when they proposed to light a
fire. One of the little girls got
the oil can and began pouring
Oil OH the fuel. Her sister struck
a match, and as she did So there
was an explosion.
The unfortunate little girl
who held the oil can was i'm
mediately wrapped in a sheet of
flames. Before her mother could
render her any aid nearly all her
clothing had been burned off
and both her eyes were literally
burned out.
Mrs. Bernhardt was unable to
extinguish the flames and was
badly burned herself. A negro
woman then attempted to assist
the child and she too was burn
ed. A man then came in, and
wrapping cover about the
child, succeeded in smothering
the flames that enveloped her.
The unfortunate child lived
for three hours and was con,
scious about an hour and a half,
untold agony. She
died about E o'clock. The body
was terribly burned, and at every
touch the skin would peel off
the little one.
Mrs. Bernhardt was so badly
burned that she had to 60 to bed
and she does not know yet of
her little daughters death, as it
is feared that she could not sur
vive the shock.

NEW TAX LAW.

The last legislature actually
provided that part of each
mans estate should be forfeited
to the State by his death. and it
went further and made it a miss
demeanor punishable by a fine
not exceeding $500 or imprison>
ment not exceeding six months.
for any person owning property
or poll taxes not to pay the same
before the first term of the su-
perior or criminal court conven-
ing in the county each year after
the first Monday in September.
1t does not stop here. If one
should fail to pay his or her
taxes by the first court and
should be indicted and punished
as aforesaid at that term, and
should fail to pay the taxes un~
til another term of the court
rolls around, the act makes him
or her indictable at each term
until he pays it. Probably the
last named section strikes snag
in the organic law providing
that no man shall be twice vexed
or punished tor the same ofense,
yet the solicitor might reply
that the Legislature intended to
make it a continuing offense for
every days failure.
This might as we'll be known
in the State at once. AS all
taxes are due September Ist, and
as there is required by the COM
stitution to be at least one supe-
rior court in each county be-
tween September and Christmas,
it seems that all the citizens of
the State who don't pay their
taxes before Christmas will
spend their Christmas in Jail. If,
therefore, the citizen fails to
pay his taxes the State takes his
liberty; and if he dies in Jail it
forfeits "a part of his property
to the State.-T. T. Hicks, Of
Henderson, in News and Obser-

A REMARKABLE GAG.

A remarkable story was told
i'll Cleveland CO., court by Mel
lie Gilbert, the wife Of a promi-
nent physician of that city. She
says that her father law, who
does not like her and has tried
to have his son divorce her,
filled her mouth with wet plast-
er of paris and allowed the stuff
to harden, so that she could not
talk. A hammer had to be used
to break the plaster in her mouth
before it could be removed. She
now sues her father-in-law for
$40, 900 for this assault, and for
100000 tor endeavoring to alien
ate her husbands affections.

Another Rail Road for Edenton.

The Railroad Commission has
been informed that it is propos>
ed to make an extension of the
Suffolk and Carolina railroad to
Edenton. Engineers are now
making preliminary surveys
from Ryland station to Edenton,
which distance is fourteen miles
where the track will run. The
estimates will be ready in a few
weeks, and work on the construc-
tion will likely be commenced
in the fall. The extension means

A WOMAN OF SPIRIT.
Held Seventy Men At Bay And
Won Her Suit.

\ Miss Addie Wright. is the
young woman who caused good
deal of excitement at Benton
Harbor, Mich. during the build
ing OF the St. Joseph Valley
Railroad. She was then in charge
of the financial matters o: an
aged friend, John Thomas. who.
had become too infrm to man :
age his own affairs. The rails
road wanted 4 certain strip of
property belonging to the old
man, and Miss Wright said the
company could not have it. ex
cept under certain conditions.
This made no difference to the
railroad company, and they sent
seventy men, who proceeded to
lay the tracks where they
thought they would do the most
good. After they had gone Miss
Wright took half a dozen men
and tore the track up. Then the
owner of the land was notified
that the seventy men had been
sent back, with orders to relay
the track and keep it there. The
construction train was on the
scene when Miss Wright ar
rived; but she was there in time
to take a seat On the track in
front of the train, SO it would
not be possible to 60 ahead with
out the work of removing her
or killing her. The men went
to work to lay the tracks around
her, and one of the heavy irons
happened to smash one of her
thumbs. She Immediately sent
a small boy for a revolver, and
when it was Ill her hands she
told all the work1nen to get out.
All but the boss retreated in
double quick time, but the boss
said he would not be put off by
woman. Then Miss Wrighr then
iabbed the business end of the
gun into his face and told him
to move. He moved. While
the railroad men stood in the
distance watching her Miss

brought up, and in short order
