W. H. Dickenson Has An Interesting
Time With a Dog.
\V. H. Dickenson, the fat and good natur-
ed clerk at W. M. Holman & Co.’s popular
grocery store, aeldora allow* hie angry pa*-
ak>n to-rjae; but ho did get sort of ril .-d on
iMilHundw morning, holy flay of reat though
it wae.and lm hadn't got wholly over it when
a Ntws reporter rim across him late in the
day.
Mr. Dickenson has—<r, that Is, had—two
dogs, one of which be^kept for coon* and the
ether for bird*, although It ia not recorded
that either was good for eyetber. On Satur¬
day one of them, which from ita subsequent
notion roust have been the bird dog, showed
symptom* of madac**, trying to bite large
chunks ont of the cook; but it* owner was
loth to kill Hen account of snch a little ec¬
centricity, and so aimply shut it up at night
in the back yard. On Sunday morning he
found that the dog had killed three fine
large White Leghorn Cochin China Brahmas
of the purest Fly moth Bock breed, imported
from Pekin and worth at least twenty-five
cents a piece. It made William feel bad, bnt
he reflected that it was Sunday and simply
turned toe dog out of the yard,when it rush¬
ed into the house and attacked toe coon dog,
while the rest of toe family stood around on
chair* and the cook got on top of the stove.
Then at last our fat friend gave reins to his
righteous wrath and bit the offending ani¬
mal a whack over the head with a 2x6 scant¬
ling that should have scattered brains all
over a ten acre lot. The dog retired a few
peees, but immediately returned to the
attack on toe other animal, apparently much
refreshed by the lick. Bat after several
whacks, and after turotug over most things
in the room, he was finally forced out the
backdoor. Mr. Dickinson then took a pis¬
tol and his boy a gun and emptied several
loads into toe last resting place of hi* valua¬
ble roosters, and the last seen of the mad dog
be was ambling ofi in search of other game,
while toe family got down and got ready for
ehpwh.

THE ELECTION.
Hail and Collens Elected by Good
Majorities
The election for state house officers and
members of the legislature passed off very
qnietly yesterday and the resultwill.be en
Urely satisfactory to onr readers. The ne¬
groes turned out in good force, most of
them coming to this precinot, but they were
not altogether solid and not enough of them
had paid their taxes to carry the day;
though there was a pretty good number of
very fresh receipts shown. The vote polled
at toe court house was very large, and the
count was not finished nntU a late hour, bnt
the result will be found below. All the
precincts have not reported, but Hall and
Oolleus have both carried the [county by
good majorities, running nearly straight
with the ticket.

Then all they want It a hint and off they go.
One night last week I sat next an old genUe
man. He got on at Chambers street and
rode up to Forty second street, I made
him yawn twenty-seven times. Then I was
tired, but toe old fellow had gone into the
habit, and I thought he wonld split his jaws
he kept them so far apart.”
The young man hardly seated himself In
toe car before he turned around and stared
straight at a workingman opposite, who, of
course, looked at him. Then the young man
leaned - his head lazyily against window
closed his eyes, opened his month very
wide and begun to yawn with great deliber¬
ation and air of utter weariness. The
man in toe blue overalls became interested
and started intently at toe wide open mouth
and toe closed eyes. The young man pnt np
his hand in affection of covering his moato,
and then, as if it was no nso to try to check
an overpowering impulse, he drew his hand
away, threw his head still fntaher back and
uttered that sound peculiar to toe hearty
yawner—ho-ho-ho. A moment later the
man in the blue overalls gave evidence of
e twiobing of the jaws, a spasm shot across
his cheecks and then his mouth opened and
he yawned so wide that it appeared as
though he were going to divide and the top
of his herd would go on up into space.
The workingman was no started, and all
the way lie kept yawning every few mo
ments. Then the young man turned his at
tention to an old lady opposite with equal
success.

Posts Preserved with Petroleum.
In building a fence around our young
orchards several years ago no tried many
plans for preserving posts. Having oc«
casion to remove the fence t his winter we
noted tho conditions cf tho posts as
follows: Those sat with no preparation
were decayed r.n inch or more in thick¬
ness; those coa’rd r-ifh a thick wash of
lime were better attached preserved, but those were
quite seriously with by worms; perfectly
posts coated hot tar wero
sound aa when put In tho ground; those
painted with petroleum trod kerosene were
equally a3 sound and as good for setting.
Let the posts get thoroughly kerosene dry, and and
then with a pan of cheap a
whitewash brush, give tiio lower third of
the post, the part to go into the ground,
two or three applications of the oil, let¬
ting it sea!; in well each time. Posts so
treated will not be troubled by worms ot
insects of any kind, but wi'.l resist decay
to a remarkable degree. This we find to
bo the simplest, easiest, che. pest and best
method of preservation.
