The wound bled freely enough, but the parents fear- ing the result, started with the child early this morning to the vicinity of Sheldon, in Vernon County, where an excellent mad-stone is known to exist, and a thorough application of which has no doubt been made ere this. Besides biting this child, the frenzied animal is said also to have bitten a hog and several dogs that were encountered by him, and on the corner of Park Avenue and R. R. Street Officer Rumans fired his first shot into the unhappy brute—at the same time dispatching a small dog (a fiste) he had justattacked. From here he was pursued to East Maple where he was finally finished. Besides the fiste mentioned, a small bitch is also known to have been bitten, and she too was killed by the officer, but as to the other victims of the rabid creature we have no record. However, there seems to be little doubt of the dog’s madness, as-his whole behaviour indicated rabies. Our people generally should therefore be on their guard for similar developments and every pre- caution taken to nip all such canine madness in the bud.—Rich Hill Review. month, a loss for the term of $82.78. I concluded that I had paid quite enough for the blunder and then re- signed. So much for the contract about which so much has been prat- ed by certain gentlemen. The state- ment in the Record’s article, that a petition was circulated before my resignation for Allison to teach a select school, is also false. It was several days after I tendered my resignation to Dr. Pyle, stating my reasons, and the gentleman will doubtless recolleet that insufficiency of compensation was not the only reason assigned. As to “seeds of dissension, private pledges,” &c., I will refer the pub- lic to the students of the Butler Academy, both present and former. If they condemn me I stand con- demned. All that I ask, is that a// the facts pertaining to tne recent disturbance concerning the Academy be fully known, for I have nothing that I wish to conceal by garbled statements. L. B. ALxisor.

This court held that it was unable, after a careful examination of the record, to find the plaintiff in error had been deprived of any right, privilege or immunity guaranteed to him by the eonstitution of the United States and the motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction was therefore granted. The case now comes back to the state supreme court, and Attorney General Boone will in a few days call Brooks into the trial court, the criminal court of this city, when the date of his execution will be fixed. If the governor does not interfere, Brooks will probably be hanged early in March. The prisoner, from this time on, will be very closely guarded and watched, to prevent suicide or other mishep. : Union prayer and thanksgiving meeting at the Baptist church to- night We'll try local option four years and if it does not work, then we'll have whisky, is Lewis Hoffman's motto.

Harper, re torned frou Jefferson City, Sunday night where he had gone to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law Blia Elston. The saloons were all closed Tues- day, by proclamation of the mayor, and with but one or two exceptions Butler was a sober town. We see from the Osceola Advance, that a lightning rod ageat by the name of L. Gray, has been getting in his work in pretty good shape on the farmers of St. Clair county. His swindling scheme is an old one, and as he may get over into this county shortly we warn our farmer readers to look out for him and his pals. Mrs. T. A. Shaw and son Harry are in Butler and expect to live here if they can get any work to do. T. A. Shaw deserted them in Kansas City, leaving them in destitute circum- stances. If any ef our people can assist Mrs. Shaw by furnishing her or her son employment they will preform a charatable act. Our friend, Thos. J. Lingle, of the Clinton Democrat, would be a good man to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of Senator Sparks. Mr. Lingle is an unflinching Democrat, who has performed years valuable service for his party, and his promo- tion to this position would be but a slight recognition of his faithful ser- vices. Besides, he would make an able, unselfish represenative —Neva- da Mail. The Adrian Register took the oc- cassion of alocal option speech by our fellow townsman, John T. Smith, in Adrian, to maliciously assail that gentleman last week. The fact that Mr. Smith, as a temperance advocate was sent out by the local option committee to make speeches, does not warrant that paper in making such a contemptable and indecent attack upen him. Mr. Smith at one time assisted in prosecuting the editor of that paper, W. H. Gibbens for criminal libel and he was convicted on the charge. This may explain the milk in the cocoa-nut.

There is no doubt more interest was taken in the local option election held in this place yesterday than any previous election ever held in this ity. Speaker Carlisle's title to a seat in the house has been fully vindicated, only seven members, all republicans, dared vote against it. The whole contest has been a machine manufac- turing capital for the republicans and currying favor with the labor vote. The Rich Hill papers think if a vote was taken in that city on the local option question, the town wouldundoubtedly godry.

A Card to the Public. An article appeared in the last is- sue of the Record headed The Acad emy, which was made up of a wail, several cowardly insinuations, con- taining false statements and conclud- ed with a soothing balm for the par- ties in whose interest it was written. The first statement, that Allison accepted the terms offered by Prof. Mickey is wide of the truth which a full explanation of the facts will prove. Last June I received a let- ter frdm Prof. Mickey from which I quote these words. “Finding that I can employ teachers of rec- ognized ability at cheaper rates, as a matter of business, I find myself not justfied inemploying you.” The Board of Trust did not relish the idea of seeing me thrust out in this unceremonious manner, and a reso- lution, urging him to retain the ser- vices of Allison, if possible, was sent toProf. M. and in response thereto, I received a second letter dated June 30, which contained the fol- lowing “All work has been arranged for except about what Miss Scott had last year. Now, not knowing whether this work will suit you, I will offer you $450 for it.” On the 5th. day of last July I answered that letter refusing to accept the particu- lar place and also the salary offered. A day or two after this Capt. Henry and Thompson waited upon we as a committee, and asked me what I would do, as the Board wanted to submit a proposition from myself. I toid them I would teach for 4 net tuition income of the school, de-{ é 3 ducting usual contingent expenses. | mysrepresentations allowed and every arti-— Both gentlemen commended my lib- erality and the president was in- & caity i to foread the ame tojcle guaranteed.

The first Sunday in next month, Feb’y. 5th., morning and evening, Bishop Hendricks, of Kansas City, will be in Butler and deliver two sermons at the M. E. church (south.) The presiding elder will also be present and hold his second quar- terly meeting of the above church. Bishop Hendricks is one of the most talented ministers in the south- ern Methodist church and we have no doubt, as itis his first visit to our city that a large majority of our people would like to hear him. In order that they may be accommodated the Trves suggests that the opera house be secured and the Bishop permitted to preach at that place. and shoes ever offered in this section, by William Emery, a notorious and desperate criminal has been captured and lodged in the Independence jail.

The murderers of James Weir at the Liberty street depot, Independ- ence, Mo.,on Jan. 3d., have both been caught and prove to be John Bogard, a boy 16 years of age, and one, Charles Meyers. Bo- gard was first captured and confess- ed to the crime giving away Meyers, who was afterward captured at Ft. Leavenworth. The two killed Weir with a car coupling pin about 4 o’clock in the morning while asleep in achair for the purpose of rob- bery and secured about $40.
