We have received three more com munications, all repelling the charg- es and contradicting the assertion made by MT. Jno. C. Rye in regard to dance which that gentleman alleged to have been carried on in a very discreditable manner. We gave publicity to MT. Rye's letter not knowing q thing in the world about the matter, and supposing that perhaps he had some grounds for complaint. But in our next issue we published a refutaticn from q number of gentlemen which ought to be full vindication of the young people of Dover and the adjoining country, against Mir. Rye's charges.

 As we have now given publication to one refutation by number of gentlemen of good standing, we deem it best to drop the matter from the columns of our county paper, as the agitation of such things is not calculated to lead to any good re- suits. Our correspondents will therefore please excuse Us for the non-appearance of their letters on this subject.

A rather unusual case of a trial being terminated by the death of one of the jury, occurred last week at the Yell county court. The case of D. r. Cloyd for the killing of R. w. Wishard, was pending and the jury had been sitting in the case for some four or five days. On Wednes- day evening, one of the jury was taken ill, and so severe was the at tack that on the following day he died, bringing the trial to sudden and uncommon end for the time being. The case we understand was then postponed, the jury dismissed, and the trial removed to Johnson county,

 To the editor of tine DEMOCRAT:

 It is generally understood that the dog law is now in force. There is question relative thare- to which we arc not able tc solve. Namely: Is the dog tax :i proper. ty tax or poll tax? If it is a property tax l think it IS uncon- stitutional; yet think it good law, as there will doubtless be a great many sausage factories started, thereby furnishing labor for the industrious immigrants whom destiny may place within our limits. 1t will also bring down the price of leather as the dog skins will supply the tanner ies.

 Now, if it is a roll tax the dogs will have a right to vote, and some of them will be candidates in the next election. So think some of our good men will have a tight race, as. some of the dogs will run" like blazes.

On March 29th, 1913, remarkable phe-
nom0non occurred. The preceding winter
had been intensely cold, and the ice formed
on Lake Erie was unusually thick. In the
warm days of early spring, thiss mass of ice
was lOosened around the shores of the lake
and detached from them. During the fore
noon of the day PANIED, a stiff easterly wind
moved it up the lake. 4 little before sunset
the wind chopped suddenly round and blew
IA gale from the west. This brought the vast
field of ice back again with such tremendous
force that it filled in the neck of the lake
and its outlet SO rs 10 form a very effective
dam, that caused a remarkable diminution
in the outflow of the water. OF course it
needed but little time for the Falls to drain
of the water below this dam. The conse-
buence was that on the morning of the fol-
lowing day the river was nearly half gone.
The American channel had dwindled TO a
deep and narrow creek. The British chan
mel seemed to have been smitten with a
quick consumption, and to be fast passing
away. Far up from the head of Goat Island
and out into the Canadian rapids, and from
the foot of Goat Island out beyond the old
Tower the water was gone. The rocks were
bare, black and forbidding. The roar of
Niagara had subsidized to moan. This ex-
traOrdinary syncope of the waters lasted all
the day, and night closed over the strange
scene. But during the night the dam gave
way, and the next morning the river was
restored in all its strength, beauty, and maj
esty.-From an Illustrated Pdper on Mage.

In 1871 Samuel j. Tilden began his bril-
liant and successful campaign against the
Tweed ring which has ended in stripping
them Of their spoils and sending them to
prison or exile. In his speech at Cooper
Institute in November of that year he made
the following pledge to the people of New
York; by the blessing of God according to
the strength that is given to me, if you will
not grow weary and faint, and falter on the
way, will stand by your side until not only
civil government shall be reformed in the
city of New York but until the State of New
York shall once more have pure and ire
proachable judiciary, and until the example
of this great State shall be set up to be fol-
lowed by all the other States" The people
Of New York did stand by Samuel j. Tilden
and he nobly redeemed the pledges of his
speech in the overthrow Of the gigantic rings
that ruled the City and State. Now this
able and intrepid champion of the people
against the plunderers is invited to the per-
iUrnIance Of Il far larger and more difficult
task, the pnrgation OF the National Govern
ment from the corruption that pollu.es it.
lie is under the same pledges to the people
OF the country which he gave to the people
Of New York, and sustained by the ballots
of his fellow-citizeus he will redeem them.
