A Heroine.

The Frankfort correspondent of the
Louisville Journal relates the following:
"rhe blue grass region was the scene,
on Wednesday last, of an anomalous
and tragical occurrence. tits the more
tragical because the principal actor Tor
aciress) is a woman. BE it remember
ed, also, that she moves in good society,
and is, or was, as much respected as
any lady in Paris. May her good name
lose nothing by her chiyalry and conju-
gal affection!
"rhree men of bully reputation went
into the house Of gentleman in Paris,
Kentucky, and asked bis wife where he
was, avowing their business to be TO tie
him up and whip him for slapping the
mulatto child of one of their chums.-
She replied that he was in his shop
They went of, and she followed them
into The shop unperceived, and picked up
mallet and chisel. One OF the men
drew knife and pistol, ana advanced to
the husband, who cornered, squalling
murder. The lady, however, advanced
with necessary speed, and dealt the as
sailant a blow with the mallet upon the
shoulder, dislocated it. and silenced him.
The second was met by the woman, and
blow with the same instrument, dealt
with such force on the forehead as to
break the skull, put him hors de combat.
The heroine turned to her husband and
found him tussllng With the third OH the
floor. She went to work on this third
genleman's head as deliberately as cir
cumstances allowed, and soon succeeded
in relieving her husband from all fear OF
"murder" at his hands. All the gentle
men assailants had TO be packed home.
have this statement of the facts and
characters connected with this affair
from gentleman OF undonbted yeracity,
who came from Paris since the occur
renee.
81 have heard Of such heroism before,
but not since the days of Boone, Logan,
and Ken,on. She must have some oil
their blood in her veins. Just imagine
a woman, weighing scarcely 100 pounds,
of mild counienance and modest mein,
facing three ruffians, and tanning oul
the trio with no aid but that of the hus-
band in tripping one Of Them"

The Inlproyenent.

The Hawk.Eye comes very gener-
ously TO our aid in our efforts to awaken
proper feeling in regard to our river
improvement, and tenders us his sym pa
thy and aid.
The Ha,ck-Eye suggests a reduction
of the minimum price Of the lands from
81 % to, say 90 cents, as that is in fact
about what the u. s. are selling at, ia
king into account the discount on land
warrants. &c. There is no necessity
for that, friend Hank, the land will all
sell at 81 %. But, here is the difficulty,
neither at that price, nor al 90 cents
even, would the land in the grant below
the forks sell fast enough to admit OF an
economical! investment of it, because, the
expenses of conducting the work being
large, they nearly exhaust the income.
Say il takes thirty thousand to complete
certain job, that could be accomplished
in one year, and you have $4,000 on
hand and your expenses are $4,000
In one year your work is completed
But suppose your funds come in at the
rate of $4,000 a year, your expenses
continuing the same, when would your
work be done!--and what kind of man
agement would that be! 1t would take
half a million to do $4,000 job. "a
fool as gross as ignorance made drunk"
would not manage thus. And ye; such
is the principle upon which the work on
the Des Moines is at present being con-
Quoted. and the proceeds of lands fritter-
ed away TO pay company of men to
superintend and distribute them amongst
themselves. We attach no blame 10 the
Board, nor TO the necessary officers un-
der them, but the law that directs their
action is fraud upon the people of the
valley, and bligh;ing curse upon their
prospects.
All we ask is the privilege Of using
the grant 10 raise-all at once-what
means can be raised from it, to prevent
the expenses from eating it up. And,
We ask, is This unreasonable! And shall
we not have the assistance Of all who are
not gangrened with local prejudices!
Some places there are, whose leading
men are so selfish and so DESTROYS OF
sustaining forced and unnatural growth,
that they recklessly trample under foot
the rights and interests of thousands oil
our citizens.
The citizens OF Burlington have ever
manifested a generous desire to promote
the general interests of the whole valley
of the Des Moines. They have large
and fast increasing business, conducted
by well established and permanent mer-
chants, who deal with men as though
they expected to meet them again. We
hope 10 be able 10 reciprocate all favors
received.-Reosauqaa Je6srsoniaa,.

Murder by the HIex;cans.

A letter in the California Courier from
! os Angeles, dated Sept, 7th, gives an
account of the attempted murder Of Mr.
E. j.. Callahan, of the rancho EUROPE
So miles from Los Angeles, and of his
whole family, consisting of his wife
four children and two hired men. This
act was committed by company of re.
turning Sonorians. They came TO his
house while be and his family were a
dinner. lie invited them in, and sezine
an opportunity, they fell upon their vic,
Tins with clubs, and soon rendered them
senseless. Mrs. Callahan soon came to
and they caused her to deliver up hel
husbands keys, with which they open
ed his trunks and took therefrom between
$4,000 and $1,000 in specie. They
then stole some horses and left. Intel
ligence was not conveyed to their negh.
bors till towards night, as Mrs. Callahan
was unable 10 move. and she remained
surrounded by her dying family, until g
person accidentally called in the course
of the afternoon.
A company left the second day after
the event, in pursuit of the murierers
but little hope is entertained of thei
success. Mr.. Callahan was still alive
no hopes were entertained of his recov
ry. His wife and children will perhaps
recover. One OF his hired men is dead
His name was Joseph Griffin.

A Relic.

Our reporter saw yesterday silver
watch that was taken from the wreck Of
the Tennessee, which boat sunk in the
Mississippi on the night of the 9Th of
February, 1923, nearly twenty-seven
years ago. For several years efforts
were made to find the precise point that
she sunk, and it was only about two
years ago that it was discovered. Mr..
M. A. Mathis, with a diving bell, and
the usual attendant means, cut his way
through vast masses of accumulated sed-
iment, and finally got into the old wreck,
from which considerable property was
recovered. The watch, to which we re-
fer, was found in berth along with the
bones of man, and the dial indicates
near about the time the boat went down.
The steel works are corroded and gone

their shape and surface. Gin. CONNER

from the time the rise was noticed it was

Every dam on the stream has been swept

to summary end for The season. Al

for good; some for Southern diggings,
others 10 the dry, nearer home. A; the

Company 10000 dollars; and this wo'd
not be an extravagant estimate for every

not half are doing anything, and of the
other halfa moiety only, are paying their

quitting these diggings and making their

He spoke of the purpose for which the
