Many doctors contend that the bite of
a dog will often cause hydrophobia, whether
the canine be made or not. It is better
rot to get bitten by a dog at all.
Tue Centennial Exhibition ia already
ginning to bear its fruits in Pennsylvania
ntlcast. The managers of its Museum of
Industrial Art obtained out of the Exhibi
tion a great number of the best specimens
of artistic workmanship in pottery, metal
work, jewelry, bronzes, glassware, furniture,
rarvinir and textile fabrics. " These objects
will be kept as models for the inspection of
mechanics, and a school or design and draw
in for artisans and a normal art school for
the instruction of common school teachers
are to be m drituincd in connection with the
museum. The next step, of course, will be
the introduction of drawing into the public
schools, and Governor Martranft has had
this topic presented to the Legislature by
"Professor Walter Smith, of UosU n. Indeed
the Pennsylvania movement is in the direc
tion taken by the Massachusetts School of
Technology, which has been remarkably
successful, and is already beginning to create
jui enthusiasm for the mechanic arts and
their improvement. It should be remem
bered, however, that even Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania are twenty j-ears behind
France in this species cf training, for which
most States have made no provision what
ever. The line of the new education runs
this way, and the Boston school which
teaches youth how to use a file and vise, is
:1 pioneer that should be followed by every
Commonwealth.

The Pottsviile Ecming Chronicle pub
lishes the following, which will be read with
interest by those who have the "Texas
fjver:"
A representative of the Chronicle called
upon Messrs. John McCullouih and John
( 'ashman, of St. Clair, iwo of Use recently
returned Texan emigrants, so as to give our
rollers the appearance of this new focus of
( migration, as related by two trustworthy
i.Mitlemen, who had no interest in the sale
of corner lots in an, as yet, unexplained
wilderness. Both gentlemen agreed that
it, was as fine a country as th"y ever saw
and perfectly level. They visited Gauda
loupe county and fctaid there a few weeks.
Ytter is very scarce, and they travelled
f.rty miles ini in l without being tble to ob
tain a glimpse of a spring. The only thing
raided there is corn, cotton and sweet pota
tt es. The houses are few and f.ir between,
and merely consist of a few logs placed
ahove each other, with roofs made of cow
hides. The articles of funiture are of the
most primitive kind, and even the wealth
iest in that district do not, comparatively
p peaking, lead the life cf a dog. Cows and
horses are very plentiful, but the cows give
no milk and the horses arc merely bone
yard signs. If a mm works fer the rail
road company he is ob iged to take gutta
percha ''money" for his wages, :md this
money is of no use except along the line oi
the railroad. By this means many persons
are compelled to remain there. '1I13 com
pany trebles its rates for the return pas
.vges, the agent ? of the companies in this
State hold out very great inducements and
m ike golden promises to the emigrants,
which are immediately broken when they
once get them in their clutches. They tell
them that they can get So.) per mouth and
board from farmer. wh;,' :n reality they
receive hut Si 2 and S1-: r--r m-r.ih. and
even this small amount '. ;: -nd -.n a con
tinireucy, for if the crops fail the l.ir- 1 man
fail to receive his money. Ii' a person ac
cepts work from a farmer and can net agree
wiih him after the first month, he does not
receive any remuneration for his labors un
til the end cf the season. There is no more
trraes there than is to be found on one of

We ar now anpplying onr nnrner.nn customer
with this Flour, ani have never known anv to vary
from our repr-vntation. Its peculiar process and th'o
unoqualed facilities this Rreat flouring mill poHscasn,
make it superior to any known. Considerinc Its
superfine tjualith j, there aro many reasons why it la
tho best, aud therefore tho
CHEAPEST FLOUR IN THE COUNTRY.
It is purposely adnpted for bread, but cannot b
excelled for any use, and is particularly fine for pastry.
The increased demand for this fiour'has never loa
equalled in this market. IV hare every advantage,
as we purchase from the manufacturers end thereby
have established a price within the reach of all and.
hope to make this the most popular flour in town,
which can bo bad at all times at tbe I. X. L Grocer.
