A man named Nourse is in--jured beyond hope of recovery, and two men named Marshall and Baker are seriously injured. = v - - .~ BPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 16: The storm of wind was very sudden.. The base-ball stand in Hampden Park was blown to pieces, but the audience gathered to see the game between the: SFringfields and ‘New Bedfords miraculously escaped serious injury, though. several were badly bruised. bk At East Hampton, Pomeroy Bl({ck: was unroofed. Northampton suffered ‘mast. Her famous elms, some of them. three feet in diameter, were torn up by the roots,,an‘,d the prostrate trees scattered everywhere through the town. It. is impossible to estimate the money damage, but it will seriously impairthe town’s picturesqueness. The Man--sion House was unroofed. . Other towns thereabout suffered: generally from prostrate crops and' trees, and a Eicnic party on Mount: Holyoke saw the ruins of six barns.

" Fight With a Mad Dog. . 2 AOE—— i i > - MR. GEORGE L. McMay, just from: the npeighborhood of Gold . Creek, - Faulkner County, tells us of a desperate encounter between a man and'a. mad dog. ..- e FiLa Near Gold Creek; and about eleven: miles from the railroad. lives a man. named Rhea, a farmer on a -small scale, having recently opened a farm. Liast Monday evening, while Rhea and his wife were sitting in front of. their door, two dogs jumped over .the fence and ran under the house. At first very {ittle notice was taken of the animals, there being several fox-hunters in the neighborhood, and the Rheas supposed. that the dogs. helonged to :them, but presently a terrific howling. and fight--ing began, insomuch that Rhea then threw chips and pieces of wood under the house, The iowling and fighting continued for some time, when at last one of the dogs darted out, leaped the fence and ranaway. The other dog, a. large brindle of decided uigly type, fol--lowed as far as the fence, 'but stopped, turned around and started toward Rhea with mouth half open. Rhea stopped and picked up an old \%}ign dasherlying on a stump, and—ds the dog sprang at him struck the . beast over the head. Stunned for a moment, the animal recoilied, but only for a mo‘ment, for he sprang again.before Rhea had time to prepare himself. Grabbing the dog by the throat and holding his mouth as far away as possible, a desperate struggle began. The dog’s eyes glared, and his mouth emitted that froth only known to hydrophobia. Mrs.. Rhea ran into the house and. ‘soon returned with a case-knife, which she: handed to her husband. The ‘“combat deepened.”” The bluntpointed ‘and dull-edged weapon went. time und again against the animal’s throat- without drawing blood or lessening his fury. The strong grasp of the man kept his teeth away, but such a grip could not last long. Again the woman entered the house, and this time returned with a shot-gun. Cocking it-and rushing up to the floundering dog, she placed the muzzle close to the animal’s flanks and fired. There was a sudden giive ‘way and a seemingly additional glare of the eyes, but no sound. - Taking advantage of the first shotthe gun was again fired, and the- - fe%l over dead. Reports of mad dogs come from all over the country, and every one should be on the lookout.—Little Rock Gazelte. ' ‘
