THE TIMES NEW BLOOMFIELD, l'A., AUGUST 23, 1881.
Rat-Killing Extraordinary.
The most extraordinary rat killing
match probably ever witnessed In tliiolty
smc'iired in the rear of the KibtU district
liolloe station recently. There Id a slaugh
ter bonne adjoining it on the east. The,
ruts had burrowed beneath the sidewalk
from the slaughter house Into the cellar of
The station and thence found their way
iuto the building, defying the able-bodied
tom-cats and boldly Invading the lodging
rooms and nibbling the toes of the slum
beiers. The butohur, whose establishment
was the banqueting IihII for the rodents,
-decided to dig up his pavement, 1111 up the
rat boles and repave, When the lairs
. "were uncovered and the subteraneau pas
sages, in numbers sufllciently labyrinthean
to satisfy a dozen Sylvanus Cobbs, were
opened up, a stream rf rats poured forth.
The butcher, with the quickness of a terri
er, snatched rat after rat as they ran from
-the holes and dashed them against the
brick wall. lie continued this lightning
work until he bad killed 183 in less than au
hour. Ho did not receive a wound while
destroying the pests. Some of the police
men who witnessed the slaughter ottered
to match the slayer to kill rats at an exhi
bition. Philadelphia Times.
A Good Dog.
This morning, about 4 o'clock, Mr. A.
l'riestly, of 1111 Spring Garden Btreet, was
awakened from a sound sleep by bis young
Newfoundland dog, who occupied the
same chamber with himself. The dog
aroused his muster by leaping on the bed
-and pawing bid face. Upon being fully
aroused Mr. Priestly discovered, to his
great alarm, that his house was on fire and
etbat his sleeping apartment was filled with
suffocating smoke.
Hastily escaping from his perilous posi
tion, carrying his faithful and intelligent
' friatid with him, be gave the alarm, and
with the aid of the lire department, the
flames, which had originated in the kitchen
wore spedily extinguished, with a probable
.loss of $1,000.
Mr. Priestly's family is out of tho city,
nnd he is confident that but for the warn
iug given by tho dog be would have been
surt'ocated. The animal was bo much over
come by the smoke as to be unable to stand
when carried into tho yard. The friends
of intelligent brutes will be pleased tolaaiD
that be is In a fair way of recovery, and
Uue intelligence displayed by hi in will no
'doubt again start tho question whether it
was instinct or reason prompted his actions.
Phila. Star of lGth hut.
A Catfish's Dcadyl Bito.
Audrew Norman a promiuent farmer
living a few miles north of Newcomerstowu
Ohio, is now lying in a critical condition
from the effects of what is supposed to bo
blood-poisoning. II is case is a very singu
lar and remaikable one. He was fishing a
few weeks ngo, and while holding a. huge
cattish it horned him through tho baud.
He suddenly became very ill and his hand
and arm began swelling to enormous pro
portions, Ho haB not since been able to
leave his house and his sufferings are in
tense, bis whole body at times being very
much bloated and swolleu. The most sin
gular part of the case is that when Mr.
Norman received the wound he was seized
with tho horrible thought that it would
prove fatal, and although several weeks
have now elapsed, this awful foreboding
still'dinga to him and ho seems unable to
livest his mind of the dreadful conclusion.
The New Comet.
William R. Brooks, of the Red Horse
observatory, l'lielps, N. Y., announces,
under date of August 13, that Sohaolberles'
comet which, at the timo of discovery, and
for Borne time after, was only visible in the
morning northeastern sky, can now be
seeu in tho evening low down iu the north
4101 ih west. Good observations were ob-
. tained by me last evening and the evening
previous, before moon risa. The nucleus
is bright, large, and very diffused; the
tail nan on- and straight, and pointing
lawards pol.ii is. Although it will be nearest
the sun and earth about tho twentieth lust.,
it may develop unusual brilliancy after its
pjriUelioii passage aud should be attentive
ly watched.
Rather Romantic.
A letter written from Salem Va eay :
One of the most remarkable characters of
the day arrived here ou Friday night. lie
was no other than a colored man named
Dr. William Key, from Bhelbyville, Tenu.
When tho war closed he found himself
free and his old master aud mistress penni
Jees. His former owners gave him a fair
education while slave, which he made
use of by euteriug college aud becoming a
veterinary surgeou and an M. D. With
the knowledge thus gained he invented a
3luiment, the sale of which has netted him
fortune. While ou the high road to
jiroejierity he never lost sight of his former
tfiwods his old master aud mistress but
Jtept them up iu there former style of living
wliile they leiuained on earth. He thee
undertook the educatiou of their son by
vending biru to college ; aud for these
reasons I stj lo William Key a remaikable
man, Ucaube there are not many ex-slaves
iiat would have done as be did, lie car
ries the strongost testamonlala I ever read.
It is signed by the Mayor of Bhelbyville,
and the Clerk aud Sheriff of lied ford
county, Tenn.
Attempt to Wreok it Train.
Galveston, Texas, August lfl. A spe
cial to the Kara from Ban Antonio says :
"An uuBuooessfnl attempt was made
yesterday ' to wreck an excursion train,
having on board G50 men, women and
childreu, by laying cross tics across the
track. The train was going at the rate of
thirty miles an hour, aud the engine strik
ing the ties threw them Iu every direction.
Five meu who were riding on the oow-
catcher were badly bruised."
...
A Bad Woman.
Hiram Berry of Louisville took a young
wife, though he is 70. His sous and
daughters made so much trouble on the
subject that he reluctantly obtained a
divorce, the character of the bride enabling
him to regain bis freedom without difficulty.
But he could not voluntarily give her up,
after all, aud at the end or n few mouths he
sought to renew his courtship. She threw
a can of concentrated lye into his face,
burning him m) seriously that he may
uever see again.
What a Woman Dug Fot.
A policeman saw a woman digging in
her garden at Paris, Ky., before daylight.
She was not noted for industrious habits,
and therefore he covertly watched her
until she b.iought out a box containing
$0,000, the proceeds of a bank robbery.
C3TA sowing machine needle got into a
Northlleld, Minn., woman's big toe and
worked through, coming out of the top of
her foot iu sixteen days.
