A Frightful Affair at Reading, Pa., —
-Haw Mr. Grow wns \Vrued of
Approaching Spasms, and
How He Begged to be
Shaekled and Bou-d.
[Reading (Pa.) Special ]
Cyrus Grow, aged thirty-five, a night
watchman at the Reading Railroad's
eteaui-forge, came home to-day, cam
plaiiing of feeling unwol). Io the
presence of his wife he was seized
with a violeot apaim, and weuld have
fallen en the stove had she not caught
hint. The spasms increased in severity,
and be frothed at the mouth and bark
ed like a deg. Tho neighborhood yru*
aroused, but it required seveo man to
hold the sufferer down, Ihe horrible
spasui lasting one hour.
Then Mr. Grow requested Aider
man Deem to have hiip shackled and
bound down in bed, saying: "I know
what is coming, Oh 1 that horrible
hydrophobia ! I was bitten years ago
by a mad dng I don’t want to do
any one any harm wheu I get into one
of those fits ”
Hi. instructions were full}' carried
out, and all the afternoon he was writh
ing in a terrible fit, finally succeeded
in forcing off one cf'the handeuus. It
required five men to hold him. Short
ly after three o'clock lie became euiin,
and again begged his friends nut to
forsake him. About five o'clock he
was again seized with a spasm, arid by
violent movement succeeded in wrench
ing off tho iron cuffs entirely, lie
then jumped from th3 bed and leapod
to the second story window, where he
sat on the outer sill. Two polieemsu
saw the piau’s frightful antics, hurried
up stairs, and crept in the room be
hind him. Just as they were about to
seize him lie jumped, with an awful
shriek.
An officer caught him by the wrist,
pnd a violent struggle ensued, the of
ficer inside and the “n an wiggling
jn the air. Grow finally worked him
self loose, and tumbled to tha icy pave
ment below, where he quickly pulled a
pocket-knife and stabbed himself iu
the throat and cut both his wrists.
By this time fully th.rea hundred
peonle had gathered, and the bleeding
■victim was carried to the Central Po
lice Station, whence he was taken to
.tha Country Hospital. He is suppos
ed to be in a dying condition.
Mr Grow is a very respeotabU man,
the father ol five childron, and has
(been a watchman for five years. He
has been suffering from malarial fever,
and opinion is divided us to the cause
of his mania.

A ISOM IVITC STOISI.
A Vermont Girl whe was made a
Canadian Peer’s wife by a Duel.
The recent death in London of
Lady Rose, wife of Sir John Hose
of London, and formerly of Mon
treal, brings to mind some roman
tic incidents of her early life. La
dy Rose was a daughter of Robert
Emmett Temple, of Rutland, Yt.,
who held the position of Pension
Agent of the United States Gov
ernment for the Revolutionary
War. lit was a geutleaian of dis
tinguished appearance and elegant
manners, and had Fraught up his
daughters in all the courtly graces
and accomplishments which mark
ed the higher classes at the begin
ning of this century. The young
er ladies paid a visit to Montreal,
and the younger married a Mon
treal gentleman Robert Sweeney
—a Protestant Irishman, who at
that time held the position of In*
specter of Potashes, and was a
partner of o<d. Dyde. Her sister
married Mr, Chapman. The Swee
neys moved much in military cir
cles, arc .Mis. Sweeney, from her
fascinating maoner and snvoir faire
becaaie a general faverita.
An unfortunate affair took place
which caused much comment iu
fashianshle circles in those early
days. Muj. Ward, of the First
Royals, was an intimate friend and
companion of Mr, Sweeney, and
one afternoon the two friend* stroll
ed up town tegetber. That ever,
ing Mr. Sweeney had friends to
dinner, and during the repast a
note was brought into Mrs. Swee
nsv, which she immediately hand
ed to her husband. He jumped
from the table and proceeded to
tho mess rooms of the First Ilayal*.
M*y Ward, hearing Mr. Swee
ney’s voice, called out to him to
come in and have a 'glass of wins
This was sternly and os
the Major ®aking his appearance,
Mr. Sweeney handed him the uoie
with the demand. -‘Did you write
this, sit?” Maj. Ward took the
aiisiive, and after glaucjng at it
contemptuously tore it late frag
ments. Mot words ensued and a
challenge ivas given and accepted
About sunrise the next morning
the two friends, who had left Col.
Dydo in a very friendly mood the
night before stood confronting each
other with pistols at the St. Pierre
race course on the Laohine road.
The word was giveu and Mr, Swee
ney, who was an accomplished du
elist, having had several affairs be
fore. shot hie antagonist through
tke heart before the latter had ttuse
to explode his weapon He and
his vtifa returned to cha States urn
til. at the rapuest of the officers of
Muj. Ward's regiment, a nolle pro
sequi was entered and he was aL
lowed to return to find that the let
ter was the heedless practical joke
of a flighty girl who had imitated
Maj. IFard’s handwriting. The
circumstances so preyed on Mr.
Sweeney's mind that he died liter
ally heart broken.
A short time afterward his young
widow, with her son, went to beard
at a house r>n Victoria Square, and
thero she met James Rose, a youth
from Huntington, who was study
ing law in the office of Judge Day.
A mutual attachment between the
fascinating and accomplished wid
ow and the talented young law
student ensued, and shortly after
hie admission to the bar they were
married. Her wonderful tact and
suavity of manner made her a lead
er in society, where she was ever
on the alert to advance her hus
band’s interests. As Lady Bea
censfiald was te her husband, so
was Lady Rose’s success, and her
diplomacy and ambition spurred

which made him one of the fore

The CJrowill of Cotton Facto
ries in the Mouth.
The Manufacturers’ lice ud, which
has given exhaustive attention to this
movement, presents the following facts
and figures:
The figures show that at the present
lima there are 1,270,422 spindles and
24,873 looms in Southern cotton mills,
as against 713,989 spindles aud 13.222
loom son J/ay 1, 1880, or an inerease
of 502,433 spindles and 9,651 loom*
in just threo years and a half, or ta
increase in that time of about 80 per
cent in spindles and GO per cent in the
number of looms. It must be retnema
bared that these figures do not repre
sent the entire number of new spindles
aud looms placed in Sent hern mills
since 1880, but only the iuoieuse in
tha present aggregate number as com
pared with the total on May 1, 1880 ;
for thousands cf old spindles bays been
taken out during the past three years,
and been replaced by new ones, so that
could we obtain th* exact number of
new spindles and■ looms purchased by
Southern mills since the eeasus report
was gathered, it would probably bu not
less than 800,000 o! the ' former and
15 000 of the latter. Moreover thers
are a large rd u;bcr of new mills under
construction, and quite a number of old
oues that- Lave either very lately been
enlarged or are now undergoing that
change, ail of whioh will require
considerable number of spindles and
looms/ snd eouid tin total taqui re
in loti of these mills be obtained, they
would still farther troll the foregoing
figures. Georgia heads the list with
340 130 ipiedies and 7,843 looms ;
while Maryland, which in 1880 was
second, has dropped baek to the fourth
in position, permitted North Carolina
to take th* ssoond place, with 213,302
spindles and 3,543 looms, and South
Carolina third, with 190,048 spindles
sad 3,389 looms. Alabama coats in
fifth, after Maryland, though she has
only about one half as many spindles
as the latter State, followed closely by
Tennessee, and then Virginia.
Tho aggregate number of oottofi
mills now in the South is 314, against
180 in 1880—a gain of 134.
According t tho census, tha value
of the products #f all Southern cottan
mills for tho year ending May 31,
18ffO, was a littia over 321,000,000,
and, while the exact figures fer the
past year are not obtainable, yet it is
believed that tha valuo for 1883 was
between $35,000,000 and 840,000,-
000,
Sheejt or Dogs, Which?
Paris (Tenn.) Intelligencer.
The question as to whether dogs
er sheep are tho most valuable te
Tennessee farmers, is still an un
settled proposition. The last issue
of the Gallatin Tennesseean says
there is a great deal of complaint
throughout that esunty about the
depredations of worthless curs on
geese, sheep and lambs, and ad
vises the shotgun policy. We be
lieve that every farmer should
have a good, well bred, well fed,
well trained “dorg,” the noblest
aud most faithful of all animals, to
guard his heme and its inmates,and
protect the property. But one dog
is sufficient for all the needs of auy
one home. It is the multiplication
of dogs, that are permitted to rove
at will, the untrained, unkept,
hungry, starving dogs that hold
conventions and plot for food, and
pass resolutions, that would, if the
peer brute comprehended them,
make the wool stand on the poor
defenseless sheep’s back; these are
the dogs that ought to be get rid of.
We would not object to the law that j
would allow one dog to the household as
a protection to homo and property, but
more than this should be prohibited, by
law. There are thousand; of valuable
sheep destroyed annutlly fc dogs that
are not of the least valuo to any ane,
while thousands of farmers have been
deterred ff*m attempting i . or have
abandoned sheep husband y. because
ef the damagesjto that interest. It ia
time for the inauguration if a system
by which sheep raisers can bo protect
ed in their property, a -d impor
tant branch of husbandry encouraged
and promoted.

Messrs. Warren, Wallace &Cos ,—ln answer to your inquiry as to my opinion of
the Hall Gin, I think I can safely say, that I have never used a belter Giu than the
Hall. 1 have never soen anything to equal it. in cleansing the seed of lint. 1 have
ginned about 40 hales of cotton on the Gin, and have saved half enough to pay for it. in
th way of cleaning tge seed. It. makes a good sample, equal le the best—as to durabil
ity it has no superior. I think the feeder is a goed thing. 1 have never used the con
denser, therefore 1 cannot say anything as to its use, but it is highly recommended by
those that have used it. There is no (jin better than the Ilall, its capacity is good
enough. On a4O saw Gin I can gin 6 bales of cotton a day, making a good soinple,
with a four horse engine. Yours most respectfully, J W. MOORE.
