Mrs Hackett is a quite an old lady, being nearly 89 years of age. and rather feeble, She owned a large and inteligeut dog, named Old Ring,” and she and her fami ly were very fond of him. Some days ago a mad dog pass ed through the Ridge Valley settle ment and bit a number of hogs, i cattle and doge, and many people were keeping animals, tied up; and interesting developments was at the keenest tension.

While the balance of th.' compa ny were running over each other getting out at the door, and every body was crying or screaming, “away up in G.” Mr. Joe Harris and Mrs. Lan caster were the only ones who did not loose their heads. Mr. Harris made a sneak for the kitchen door to close it. 1 * He finally reached it. The dog was staggering around the kitchen, foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling and waa suffering as only a dog can, with the rabies. Mr. Harris pushed the door. A bucket of coal was in the way and prevented its closing. The mad dog raging worse and the scream ing of the frightened women and children grew louder. Finally the door was cl »sed. Old Mrs. Racket sprang from the ta ; ble and with the sprighTy step o ; a sixteen year o’d, she ran 40 r yards to a neighbors. Her daughter descended from the stove, and the otha 1 s withone common consent, sought the same level, the floor—then “went yon der.' all but Charley, he stayed in the loft. Mrs. Lancaster went to her satchel and took out a Smith & Wesson 38 revolver, and gave it to Mr. Harris who, through the kitchen window, put tour balls through and through the strug gling swaying body of the mad dog l The fifth shot entered the dogs ■ chest and came eur through his back near the root of bis tail And he died Then the family was “rounded up” for the night. They wept over Ring’s body, and then went to bed. But their troubles had not ended, for when morning dawned, it waa discovered that some one in the j stampede of the uight b'-fere had left the cowpeu gate open, and the cows and calves were to-gether, and there was no cream fur th' j coffee. Another calamity: one little fellow going into the ashhopper for safety, had knocked the boards off and the rain had slacked the whole business. Another disaster: One of the la dies who took refuge in the smoke house forgot, in her excitement, to button the door when sh» came out, after the “bark“ had been “shipwrecked," and the <>ld brood sow had sto'e a country ham and devoured nearly all the meat. ‘Oh you ought to hear my wife tell the st' ry and have the three children run their side show at tachment, helping her,“ said Mr. Lancaster, Poor Ring, he was a good dog He is dead. But none of those who witnessed the scenes, that traus pited around the closing mcments of his life will ever forget him— or them. Kash. TUESDAY. EVENING FEBRUARY. 13. 1894.
