A Drunkard Reformed an
TuaxED Pkeacher. In the year 1867,
there lived,vnear KittreU's Springs, a
I man by the name of Arp, whose gener
ous impulses caused him to get drunk
whenever an opportunity presented it
self. And when the opportunity was
slow in coming, he always managed to
make it happen,- regardless of expense
or consequences. His habits of dissi
pation had gone to such an extent that
he had nearly sent to the poor house his
amiable and industrious wife, and her
seven little helpleis children
On a hot summer morning in Auaust,
Arp left his home and work just to step
over to the depot to arrange some busi
ness, and to hear the neighborhood news.
(The reader will recollect that '67. was
tue noted mad-dog year.) Thefear.of
hydrophobia had gone to siuih an cx
tent that all neighborhoodtravejphad
nearly closed, and only th?inosk ttrgent
business could induce -one to -leave
home, and nothing could H tempt
one to stay out after ' dark. The . mere
howl of a dosr would spread (terror and
consternation ove"r a ' whole neighbor
hood. Yes, Ai"p went to the depot ac

his faithfulness to his master. Well he
might be,as Arp had in all his life never
struck him a blow, or even given Lim
an unkind word, and had been heard to'
say often, that lie had a wife and seven
children, but hevwould be d -d if
"Tijre" want worth more " than all of
them put together. Before Arp left the
store, late in the atternoon, he went in
the back room with, the mis
chievous clerk to talse v'just one

This was just one drop too much, and
whether accidentally or designedly the
door was locked with Tige inside, and
he was only let loose -vwith a flea in his

theriNialking and oftener rolling. All
sides of the path were his. He overtook
Arp sitting on the fence but a few hun
dred yards lrom the , house, hesitating
whether he could walk 'down one hill
and up the other to reach the house.
He did not loug debate the matter,
for. the howl of Tige caused him to
vacate his seat . and - make for
home at a speed that would have done
credit to a quarter horse. They both
made for the house first one ahead
and then the other. Tige's pain and
his master's fears upset the little house
hold in the twinkling of an eye. Tige
ran under the house and his master ran
in. The door was shu The mixture
of fright, whiskey and fatigue brought
Arp to the floor as helpless as a new
born babe. Alter a halt an hour s rest
he became able to articulate, and then
only said, "Gun--gun mad-dog." The
old flint and steel was hoisted from
the rack, over the door, and when
Tige made his second trip around the
house,U3t as he passed the back window,
he found himself a cold, cold corpse
in the cotton patch, thirty leet in the
rear of the house. There he laid with
no one to shed a tear or even heave a
sigh ot regret over his death. He had
fallen a victim to the hydrophobia pan
ic. In about two hours Arp ventured
out and after firing -one more volley at
his once loved and faithful Iriend, to
make sure that life was extinct, he ven
tured up to lament, and to see how a
genuine mad dog looked. When he got
Within a few feet he burst out crying as
if his heart would break, and went back
into the house. He had discovered the
whole secret. This was to him a dread
ful shock, and we hear he never again
went to the depot, but left the State, and
is now a regular Baptist preacher in
East Tennessee.

Fire at Kader Biggs & Co.'s
Waueiiouse, NorfolkYa. Asa good
many ot our North Carolina merchants
do business in Norfolk, Va., and with
the firm of Kader Biggs & Co., in that
place, we take lrom th'e Journal an ac
count of the fire at the Warehouse of
that firm on Sunday night last, which is
alluded to elsewhere in this paper:
" The fire at the warehouse of Kader
Biggs & Co. was occasioned, as we have
already stated, by sparks blown from
the building on Water trtet. These
lodged upon the gutter, setting tire to
to the cornice of the house, whence the
flames spread rapidly to the iuterior arid
were communicated to the cottontored
oh the fourth' floor. A smallwooden
cupola in the centre of the building was
fired in tlie same manner the flames
spreading to the rafters of the house
and thence to the bales of cotton. The
situation demanded rapid action, and
appreciating this fact, several firemen
dashed up the stairs to the fourth stoiy,
where tliesuioke was so blinding they
were compelled to lie flat on the floor
andto
place iianakerch'eis over tueir
mouths to prevent suffocation. Grop-
Hheir way througtv the smoke and flames
three gallant fellows reached the west
side of the house, where with axe?
they cut a hole through the roof, and
then threw out into the street the burn
ing bale9 of cot. on. Through the hole
in the root a steady stream of water was
poured, deluging the house and com
pletely putting out the fire. It the paid
fire department needed vindication, it
received it Sunday night. The gallar
try of the men and the faithfulness with
which they worked in subduing the
flames was the theme of praise upon
euerv tongue. The value of their sei-
vices will be appreciated when we state
that the property stored in the ware
house is valued at;over $100,000. It
contained 1,100 bides of cotton, 1,000
bags of peanuts, 100 tons of guano, a
large quacty of cotton bagging and
other articles. 1 he cotton is on con
signment to Biggs & Co. Between 35
and 40 bales were consumed and 75 or
80 damaged some badly. The damage
to the building by fire is not great, but
the entire stock is more or less injured
by water.
