nelia Holmes. living in North Milford,
was working among her flowers a
strange dog ran through the yard. AT
ter passing her it turned and ran to-
ward her and she put out her foot to
protect herself. The dog seized her by
the leg, but fortunately her clothing
prevented a bad bite. She then tried
to push him off with her hand, when
the dog caught her wrist between its
teeth and bit the side of her hand Sc
verely. DR.. Pleasanton was summoned
at once and cauterized the wound. II
Is not believed that the dog Is mad. but
he has been chained securely, as it is
thought best not to kin him until time
proves whether he has rabies or not,
The dog belongs to a Mr.. Hollis Mrs.
Holmes Is suffering much pain and is
prostrated by the shock.

When Refs factory ceased taking in
peas one night recently twenty-four
wagon loads Of peas were in line. The
| farmers went home with their horses,
leaving the loaded wagons and the
next morning came back with more
peas and ii was curious spectacle, as
MANY OF the wagons were heaped with
the double quantities The pea vines
are cut ana brought in and put In the
machine, which separates the peas
from the vines, shells them and separ-
ates the large from the small peas. II
is calculated that this machine does
the work of a thousand hands. The
ground is so dry that it is impossible
to put out tomato plants, and unless
there Is rain soon, they will be very
scarce here, which means a great loss
