A Mule Hies From What Appears to Have been mi Attack of Hydrophobia. A Mr. Culpepper who lives near Society Hill, Ala., lost a fine mule last Monday under very strange circumstances. The mule on Sunday was as well as he ever was, but on Monday morning, when Mr. Culpepper went out to feed his stock he saw that he acted very strange, and something very unusual with him, he was vicious, trying to bite every one who went near him. This alarmed Mr. Culpepper, and after try ing to secure him he fastened up the lot and watched him. The mule appeared to get worse and soon wns foaming at the mouth, becoming perfectly enraged, and would apparently try to kill himself by running against the barn, posts and fence. Our informant says the mule would bite and tear off great pieces of flesh from his legs, and that they could hear his teeth grate against the bones. He kept getting worse until finally, about the middle of the day, he became exhausted and fell to the ground, and in a tew hours died. He exhibited all the symp toms of hydrophobia, and was evidently mad. His owner said if he had ever been bitten by a mad dog lie did not know it. The mule hud never been vicious, but was gentle and kind. Any one could handle him.

A meeting of the Beard of Trade was called to meet in t he library at 8:30 o’clock. At that hour about forty members were present, and the best of hu" mor prevailed throughout tin* evening during which matters oft he weightiest importance were If we ask more, we’ll get more. I have no doubt that our new congressman from this district will help us when he is in Washington. He was raised here and he knows our needs. Still, no representative will be able to do much if the en. gineer doe? not recommend it.” Captain Hochstrnsser said: “I know of no reason why the Coosa’s appropriation should be larger than ours. But Captaiir Hoxie’s prede cessor had » very large territory for a district; and he saw little of us and we saw little of him, necessarily. The district is now smaller. Captain i Hoxie is with us to-night, and we can make our | needs known to him.” j Captain T. E. Blanchard said: “It is true, we have been too modest. We have sent one or two delegations to Washington to urge our claims, and in discussing their expenses for the trip the doubt was expressed as to whether they would be practically recognized. All that has been done since has been done through the en gineers. Whenever we ask for an appropriation it is always cut down from the amount asked.

At this juncture, in reply to a question from a chants, stcainboatmen and business men gener ally might moot Captain Hoxie and cor suit with him in regard to the improvement of the Chat tahoochee river. A great many, he said, were not aware of the work that had been done on the river; and he felt sure that all present would be glad to hear any suggestions that might be made. Bef ire hearing these suggestions, how ever, he desired to read a paper he had prepared from the annual report of the chief of engineers for the year 1880. The paper read as follows: The annual report for the chief of engineers for 1880 shows that the present project for the im provement of the Chattahoochee was adopted in 1873, and the object is to afford a channel 100 feet wide and four feet deep at low water from Chat tahoochee, Fla., where the Flint and Chattahoo chee rivers eomc together to Columbus, Ga., the head of navigation. The total amount appropriated for improve ment of Chattahoochee river to the present year Is $174,146.17.

Captain Hoxie said: “The amount the Chattahoochee river appropriation now un expended is $6700. The new work boat which has just arrived is a power ful machine. Wo can do almost anything with her. Her running expenses are about $1000 a month.” * Hon. John Peabody then took the floor and said: “1 have been here ever since our river was a clear running stream. Perhaps others here can say the some thing. Clearings and land slides have caused the change. Landslides are much greater and much more frequent than they used to bo. I want to call attention to one fact that should be noted, and well con sidered. The Chattahoochee river is the con necting link between two great systems of rail- ticket which threatens the defeat of the demo cratic ticket so fiir ns Lee is concerned, and it be hooves every one who wishes lo insure the suc cess of the democratic nominees to be at his post and contest every inch of gr ound. Let no demo crat fail to be at the polls and work like patriots for the success of the democratic county ticket. LA GRANGE LIGHT GI AHHS.

Warm Springs, Ga., July 27.-The LaGrange Light Guards arrived here yesterday morning at » o’clock, and will spend one week learning the duties of camp'life. Immediately on arriving, the hoys went to work with all the zeal and precision of veteran soldiers. The tents were soon put up and the camp put in fine order for their occupancy. First Lieutenant P. G. Awtrey is in command today Captain James II. Pitman will arrive to night and take chnrge of the encampment. Last night guards were mounted and the sentries’ calls for the corporal of the guard occa sionally broke the stillness of the midnight air. The boys are in line spirits and are determined to have an enjoyable time; to learn something of the duties of camp life; to deport themselves like gentlemen, ns they are, and thereby sustain the past reputation of their gallant company. Under the comniand of Captain Pitman, assist ed by Lieutenants Awtry and E. B. Clark, the company will soon become proficient in the dis charge of the duties of our citizen soldiery.

Capt. C. A. Redd said he rose to make an in* quiry which he hoped some man would be able to answer. He asked : “ If, as it has been shown, the Chattahoochee river does a much larger busi ness than the Coosa, and yet the appropriations for the former have been only about one-third as large as those for the latter, where does the fiuilt lie?” Captain Redd, continuing, said: “We have done all we could. We have compiled sta tistics showing our needs, and we have made ap peals. Is the ftiult with our representatives or with the engineers?” Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, in replying to Captain Redd, said : “Not long since, as a delegate to the harbor convention in Savannah, l introduced a resolution into, that body making special in* quiries upon this very subject. But I can give one or two reasons myself. The fact is our board of trade here has been entirely too modest in its requests. When we start in this matter in better shape we will have better results. In talking with some gentlemen at the door just now, 1 mentioned the very firct embodied in the paper just read—that the Coosa river excels us in pro- But Alabama and Florida are also interested, and the services of their representatives should be enlisted. Let us get over our modesty and demand forty or fifty thousand dollars.” Mr. G, Gunby Jordan—“Let’s learn the Cooso lick.” [Laughter.] Mr. Peabo3y-“Let us be like our friend Schuess- ler here (pointing toward Mr. L. G. Schuessleri, who asks seventy-five cents for un article that he expects to get fifty cents for. [Laughter.] Let us get over our modesty. If we ask for a big ap propriation we may get it. It we don’t ask, we won’t get it.” The chairman—“The business now before us is Capt. Blanchard’s motion to appoint a com mittee to go to Washington and urge this appro priation.” The motion was put by the chairman and car vied unanimously. Capt. Redd said he hoped that Capt. Hoxie might be enabled to do some work for us that would be a lasting monument to him. Capt. Hoxie—‘* I am not anxious fora monu ment Just yet.” ( Laughter). Mr. G. Gunby Jordan—“ The Tennessee people have an appropriation that beats the Coosa plan. (Laughter.) Following their plan, let us have a convention including representatives from all parts of Georgia, Florida and Alabama that are interested in the Chattahoochee river. The Muscle .Shoals convention is on that order. When they ask for an appropriation they get it.” Captain Redd moved and it was carried that a committee of three be appointed to arrange for a Cii a‘.tahoochee river valley convention, to meet at such a time and place as may be deemed proper. The Chairman—“I desire to thank Captain Hoxie for hi* presence here to-night,*for what he has already done for ns, and especially do I desire to thank him for what we expect him to do.” [Laughter.] Captain Hoxie—“There is always a general scramble for appropriations. Each representa tive appears to want to get it all. Until this ceases there is little hope of sections needing ap propriations worst getting their full share. From a telegram I received to-night I fear that the river and harbor bill will fail.” The meeting then adjourned. IIHOWXKVILLK DK.HOCRAC Y. Grand Rally at Mid’olilster Hall—Able a ml Elo quent Addresses liy Col. A* Slmver of Mont gomery and Col. W. H. Barnes of OpelikM. There was a grand rally of the “unterritied” at McCollister hall in Browneville last night to listen to addresses from distinguished gentlemen on the issues involved in the present state and county campaign. In a brief manner Col. Holland introduced Col. L. A. Shaver, of Montgomery, who spoke l’or half an hour on state politics, drawing a comparison between republican and democratic administra tions, and showing in unmistakable figures the greatly improved condition of the state under democratic rule. Col. Shaver’s address abounded in wit and anecdote, and was frequently inter rupted by applause. No sensible man could have listened to it without being convinced that the curing appropriations. Why is this? ft is be- , true welthre of Alabama rests with the democ- cause of the fact that the representative from , racy that district at one time worked hard for these results. Why, on that river they just used up Dr. Felton’s name jn naming J^oats after him. It was William H. Felton, W. II. Felton, and finally they got down to Etowah Bill. | Laughter.] Our representatives have prob ably done their best; but better things still can be done if we manage right. I was unaware that this meeting was to be held until a few moments ago. But I have some statistics which show the possibilities of the great valley which is tributary to our river. The population of this valley can now be safely stated as 350,000; number of bales of cotton as 225,000; value fiirm products as $16,- 000,000, and value of real and personal property as about $60,000,000. Out of the 2,836,000 acres of land in this valley only 1,145,000 were in cultivation in 1880, and if balance was improved it would make a total pro duction of half a million bales of cotton. Colonel Barnes was next introduced. In his usual forcible style he addressed the large audi ence for nearly an hour. He demonstrated be yond question that the hope of the state and country lies with the organized democracy. Neither the temperance party nor republican party are efficient to assume political control of the state or nation, and as for independents, he denounced them in unmeasured terms. Lie com pared the record and capacity of Messrs. Crayton and Robinson, candidates for the probate judge- ship of Lee county, and showed clearly that Mr. Crayton is the man for the place, having both the experience and capacity. He showed up the radical leaders of Lee in a very bad light, and denounced in strong terms the independents who are ready to affiliate with them. He commended the patriotic course of Col. Holland in sacrificing j his personal interests for the good of his party. ] He concluded with a strong appeal to the large crowd to stand by the nominees and work for Columbus is the head of navigation and the natural market for all this production of this I their success. Improvement to the river means | The democrats of Lee and Browneville should more cultivated acres m this valley, more people .. ...... , I rally with all their might at the election next Monday. Remember that there is an independent Jas. Cox and T. J. Freeman as exhorters were also renewed. It was decided to have the mnual camplneeting, and those inter ested are requested to meet at the Cataula campground on the first Tuesday in August to put the grounds in order for the meeting. On Sunday, Rev. Mr. Macdonnell, pastor of St. Luke church, preached an interesting and impressive sermon. It was intended to protract the services, but owing to unfavorable circumstances it was decided best not to do so. The fourth quarterly conference will be held at Pierce chapel. Arrival of the Arion Buys. The steamer Amos Hays arrived yesterday morning, bringing a very larga through freight. Following is a list of her passengers: Mrs. L. E. Myers, Apalachicola; J. T.
