Taxing Dogs.

Westmoreland county is we'll sup
piled with dogs. Fox hunting is a
popular sport and some fine packs OF
hounds are owned in that county. A
large majority of the dogs, however,
are worthless ours, and these have been
causing so much trouble and loss to
sheep-raisers that the Board Of Super
visors recently adopted vigorous tax
laws for dogs. The books Of the Com
missioners of Revenue are now being
made up, and it is thought the revenue
derived this year from the tax on dogs
will exceed $1,000. In a number CT
cases the assessments show for one
person SIS to 500 on dogs, and one citi-
zen gives In for taxation guns valued
at $500 and dogs valued at $500.

10 years OF age, was lileu III IhC
County Court Of AppOmattoX on the
charge of attempting to criminally as
sault Mrs. John Terrence, a highly re-
spected lady of that county. Mrs. Tor
rence's husband had gone away to
thresh wheat, and early in the morning
GOode. who was employed on the Tor
renee place, crept from his room, on
the upper floor, down into Mrs. Tor
rence's chamber, where he found her
and her children asleep on pallet
which was spread out on the floor
When the negro attempted to assault
her Mrs. Terrence awOke, and on see
ing the negro struck him with her INST
and then, grabbing chair, attacked
him with such will that she put him
to fight. He was Immediately pur-
sued. and had he been captured he
would have been lynched.
The negro was afterward caught in
Farmville. 1t was expected that he
would receive the death penalty, and
when the jury rendered verdict of Is
years in the pententiary there was
much excitement and indignation and
many threats of lynchiDg. 1T hap
pened that train was due to pass APP
pomattox Station in short while after
the verdict was rendered, and owing to
the state Of the public mind the court
directed the sheriff to take the prisoner
to Richmond at once, which was done.
It is thought that the jury were int1u-
enced in their verdict by the fact that
the negro was not quite Is years of age
and that he did not possess Vsry
bright mind.

Alex. Bracchi, the Italian arrested IN
Richmond and supposed to be an An
archist created a sensation by max
ing a violent attack upon Michael ia
cobini. the chief witness against him.
Bracch is stout, powerfully built fe.-
low and it took three policemen to pre-
vent him from injuring Jacobni. The
accused was arraigned before Police
Justice Crutchfeld on the formal
charge of being a suspicious character.
Jacobini was telling of his acquaint-
ance with Bracchi two years ago, and
how he had declared himself an An
archist. At this point the prisoner
jumped over the bar for the witness
with clenched hands, determined to do
him violence. The police present
forced the violent fellow to the floor.
The man was finally, but with diff
Guilty, overcome, and nippers placed on
his wrists He resumed his position
by his counsel, crying and rubbing his
eyes with his manacled hands. Brac-
chi denounced Jacobini's statements as
lies, insisting that he is Woodworking
man. The Italians conduct in court
sealed his doom with the police magls-
trate and he was placed under bond OF
$1,000 to keep the peace, in default OF
which he was sent to Jail for year.
