\ dispatch from Boston says that
the series OF earthquakes that swept
across New England on Monday
morning of last week played queer
pranks with hanging chandeliers and
delicately balanced breakers, arrested
the attention OF night workers and
prowlers. frightened those who have
had no earthquake experience in the
past and awakened some night
sleepers.
The seismic disturbance was appar-
emily in thre waves, lashing only
a few seconds. 1t seemed to Cross

Prof. J. A. Jaeger, who was made

torpedo flotilla followed by Vice Ad-
miral Togo's feet. came up from a
southerly direction. Just at day
break Vice Admiral Makarof with
his feet sailed out to engage the en-
emy. but after the ships and batteries
had fired few long-distance shots,
Vice Admiral Togo decided to de-
cline the issue and disappeared to the
southwark.
The news OF the repulse of Vice
Admiral Togos second attempt to
block Port Arthur created much re-
joicing in the Russian capital and
among all classes the gallantry of
the SLIM and her commander are the
subject of high praise, but above all
the moral effect of Admiral Maka-
roff's willingness to engage the enc
my, showing that he considered him
self strong enough to fight, produced
splendid impression.

Vice Admiral Makaroff steamed out
to give battle, the Japanese command
er refused the challenge and sailed

The Japanese practically repeated
the tactics of February ~ by sending

that the fire ships this time were
armed with Hotchkiss guns for the
purpose of keeping off the Russian
torpedo boats destroyers.
The enemy's attempt was discov-

lights and a heavy hre was opened
from the batteries, and from two
gunboats. which were guarding the
entrance to the harbor The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer SLIM was out

and nerve of her commander, Lieut.
Krinizki. is chiefly due the complete
defeat OF the plans of the Japanese.
He at once made straight for the on

off, followed by the others, three OF
them being piled up on the shore un-

the entire six torpedo boats OF the

HAVIRD'S ARM CUT OFF.
The Operation Was Performed On

Havird May Recover.
Netsberry, S. I.

DR.. 0. B. Mayer went to Saluda
on Sunday and amputated the right
arm of Pope Havird, who was shot
on the 10Th of this month by John
Yarbrough. The operation was very
successful and DR.. Mayer hopes that
Havird will get we'll.
The circumstances OF the shooting
and unusual circumstances preced-
ing it, are remembered. Iarbrough
was working Havird's land and Hav-
ird was mailing up barn on the place
worked by Yarbrough when the diff
ficulty was had. Havird had prev
iouslv asked the governor for pro-
lection. saying that his life had been
threatened. 1t is said that these
threats had no connection with the
shooting. but it is very strange CO.

SCENERY HILL.

Once more we will try to pen
few items to our old friend, The
Review.
We have had very long and
cold winter. In fact, it is almost
winter yet, as the frogs have not
begun to croak. We have had a
great season for making maple SUI
gar. In fact, the season is good
yet, but farmers had to quit on
account of other work pressing.
If some of the Tyler people who
complain Of bad roads and high
taxes could come up here for
year or two we will bet a hound
pup that they would 90 home and
keep their mouths shut. We have
a good country here and get fair
prices for everything we have to
sell, and then pay the money out
to the tax collector, and the coun-
ty papers agree with the officials
in everything they do. Now if we
had a paper like The Review that
would take the part of the tax
payers and would be above help
ing the officials in their plumber
ing there would be some hope for
us, but as it is we will have to grin
and bear it.
Our county jail has over one
hundred prisoners including Dode
Higgins. The poor houses about
three hundred more, so you see
there is quite an item. Then the
county averages about thirty-five
violent deaths per month. How is
that for an old settled and respec-
table county?
Scenery Hill is to have a bank
in the near future. 1t has no sa-
looms, but three beer wagons mare
their rounds twice a day and de-
liver the ,needful wherever want
ed. This is much cheaper to the
brewers than having saloons, as
they have no license to pay. The
brewers keep the courts from
granting license, and then have
their peddling wagons all over
the county. They sell the booze
and pay nothing for the privilege
and the taxpayers support the
drumkards and paupers that it
makes. Such is life.

A rare treat in the moving pic

The entire evenings performance
was one of merit and pleased ev-

PERTAINING, but very instructive.
All pictures shown were new to
Defiance, one in especial being ex-

miles, took fifteen minutes to ex-

ment coupled with such an under
taking. You felt the moving OF
the train as each spot was pass
ed: that terrible swaying OF a
putting locomotive. Then the Ma
poleonic historical views, the
"poachers," the funny scenes
shown, all were of lasting inter-
est and of an instructive nature.
