Another FrightfuI Riot-Se ven Men Shot.
The Chicago Democratic P,ess OF the 9TH
brings the following startling news:
Gone of the crew of the canal boat Fly
ing Cloud, owned by Sheppard & hough-
telling Of this city, arrived in this city yes
terday, and brought intelligence of a terri
bic encounter between Capt. Henry Brown
and a party composed principally Of the
crew of the repairing scow, at Ottawa, in
which seven Of the latter were shot down
The circumstances as related are as fol-
lows:
At Lasalle, while the Flgiay Cloud was
coming through the locks, one or two of
the scow's crew came on board and wan
tonly threw favorite dog of Captain
Browns wife into the lock; the captain
thereupon put the men off the boat. and
in no gentle manner. They went to their
boat and rallied party oftwenty or more,
and took wagons and came up to Ottawa
to lie in wait for the boat and take ven
geance. A messenger was dispatched
from Ottawa by friend, to meet the boat
and warn Captain of his danger. He
loaded two Colts revolvers and shot
gun, and on arriving at Ottawa, gave one
of the pistols to one ofhis men, and taking
him with him, started for the collector S
Office to settle his business there. Hehad
not proceeded far from the boat, when the
party fell on him with axes and clubs His
man fired on the assailants and then fed
leaving the captain alone to fight the bat
tie.
He commenced retreating to the boat
and as the men jumped on him he dischar
ge- bis weapon with fatal precision, each
So, 4roI p.ng man. With this loss tho
parry vanised, and the captain regained
his boat, somewhat bruised from tie blows
he received hft not Seriously wounded

THE HARVEST PROSPECT over the
State the crops look promising and abund-
ant. All the papers in the State are max
ing speculations in reference to the wheat
crop of California to be harvested the pre-
sent year. It is agreed on all hands that
the supply will more than satisfy the de-
mand for the home market, and that in
the course of a few months grain will be
actually exported from California. This.
indeed, would be revolution in CONNER
cia1 affairs That the revolution will have
beneficial influence in some respects says
the San Joaquin Republican, there can be
no doubt, but we fear that the farmers
will, in some instances, suffer for the
general good Breadstuffs will, hencefor-
ward, be cheap, and the money now sent
to Chill and the East to buy flour will be
retained in the country; thus, while the
price of provisions will be low, money will
be plentiful.

A QUEER 2RoFEssoRsH1P.--The govern
ment of Havard College are said to be
completely nomplussed by a recent be-
quest Of $4,000, left by Miss Caroline
Plummer, lately deceased at Salem, Mas
sachusetts, for the endowment of a new
p,ofessorship on the PHILOSOPHY Of the
Hearts," It is said they don't know wheth-
er it is to be an anatomical, a physiolog-
ical, or a Sentimental chair. AS, however,
the founder OF the chair was lady, and
single lady, tits supposed it was the SEN
timental and not the calpal heart that she
intended.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?-The Washing
ton Union, Of the Cd, advocates the i'm
mediate possession Of Cuba as the great
part which it is the duty as well as the in
terest of the United States to persever-
ingly labor for. The immediate clause is
interpreted that we are on the eve of high
ly important transactions with Spain
This article, it is understood, is official,
and it is designed to foreshadow the
policy the Government has marked out to
pursue.

SALT YOUR CHIMNEYs.-In building a
chimney, put aquantity of salt into the
mortar with which the intercourses OF
brick are to be laid. The effect will be
that there never will be any accumulation
of SCOT in that chimney. The philosophy
is thus stated: The salt in the portion OF
mortar which is exposed absorbs moisture
from the atmosphere every damp day
The SCOT thus becoming damp falls dowr
to the fire place. This appears to be an
English discovery. Its used with succes
in Canada.

BEAR CAuGHr.-Mike, one of the en-
glneers on the Ohio q Indiana railroad,
saw bear in the woods near Delphos;
he leaped from his engine and took after
the young cub, and just as the little fellow
was climbing tree, Mike grabbed him,
and they had quite tussel. Some as
sistance came to Mikes aid and the cub
was compelled to surrender. You may
talk of your lion tanners, but Mike is the
man for wild bears and flying fish.

NEBRASKA ExcITMENT.--We had sup
posed that after the passage of this bill
that the excitment would subside; but to
our surprise we notice many of our breth-
rem of the press are still harping over the
thing, and calling those who voted or en-
couraged it's passage, all kinds of ugly
names. Well now gentlemen, we beg
leave to differ from such epethets, as we
know, that men are liable to differ, and
honestly too. Our Representative Mr.
Green, has come in for share of this
abuse. Well Fred. is pretty corpulent,
and we guess can stand it.
Ifthis bills such an outrageous affair,
II it be let alone it will diea natural death,
and If it proves good and ben6cial to the
country it will live to an old age-yes it
will triumph over all opposition, and dis
gust the scandalizer in uetime. We feel
willing that it's virtue shall be tested.

Our Trin Mest.

OtAA n II ~ ~StS
Last week weleft our town to visit the
Hoosier state, and had tolerably good
time. On some railroads we found gen
tlemenly conductors and officers. while on
other roads, we met some Of the very
aeeanest officers, and no very fine gentle
men for conductors. It's just as easy for
a gentleman in any post to answer civil
question politely as it is to give con-
temptble and sneering answer. Conduc-
tors on railroads ought to know this. In
our opinion, no road has more pleasant
set Of officers throughout than has the O..
& Indiana road. The President, Super
intcndent, Master of Transportation, Con-
ductors and Agents are generally, not on
ly pleasant, but gcntlemanly and accom-
modating. Passengers travelling on this
road may expect to be treated with the
courtesy due to gentlemen.
We left Upper Sandusky on the cars for
Forest, where we changed cars, went to
Dayton and then changed again and left
for Indianapolis, where we arrived about
ten o'clock in the night. This is one Of
the most beautiful and business cities in
the west. Here the cars como in from all
quarters. 1t is indeed the city of rail
roads. After taking a nights rest, and
finding several Ohioans in the morning,
we circled round the city, visiting some Of
the public buildings and institutions. TIE
State House is rather an ordinary build
ing, but is situated upon one of the most
beautiful spots of ground that we have
ever seen. The blind asylum is beau.
tiful building, very conveniently arranged
and neatly kept. Rev. Geo. Ames, Prin.
cipal, must understand his business, iudg.
ing from the regularity Of everything
the progress Of the students and good or
der about the house. All of the gentle.
men connected with this institution mus
be men of experience in their profession
Mr.. W. Reed, who is blind, conducted Il:
through nearly every department of tht
building where anything of interest wa
going on. tits strange to see with wha
certainty he will conduct visitors to differ
entrooms. Heis very pleasant and de
lights in giving strangers all the informa
ton about things in connection with til,
asylum that he can. The music made b.
Mr.. R. and two blind ladies was really de
lightful. One of the ladies played upo,
the piano admirable, and both sang beau
tifully. Taking it all in all, our visit t
that institution was very pleasant.
We left Indianapolis about two o'clocl
in the afternoon Thursday for Peru, whic1
place we were to reach at six and hal
o'clock the same evening. In conse
quence ola blowo bad bridges and run
ming off the track, we arrived in Peru til
next morning at about the hour we wer
to get there the evening before--all safe
This is avery nice town and bids fair
be quite place. Tavern keepers don
charge mach in that town.
Indiana is q fine state of land as th
fine crops to be seen bear evidence. w
saw some as nice looking corn and whes
in that State during our travels as W
have seen in a long time. The Hoosiel
will not starvc from scarcity of grain.

the life of drunkardl Oh, heavens
and earth, angels, men and devils, what
theme! running from the cherub infant
through wasted youth, blasted manhood,
days of alternate revelry and cursng, a
home Of unrelieved misery, death of
shame and anguish. 1t is this that Mr.

up and down some 1 2 or 90 feet of plat
form, judiciously left clear for him, PAGES
up and down with hands clinched as in
agony, or paving the air to keep off the
ghosts of memory-pouring out words
with such spontaneity that they sometimes
seem to tumble over one another, and
smother meaning in their fall, scarcely
stopping at a cheer, never inviting one.
He tells you with gestures, even more
significant than his passionate and some
times beautiful words, how he went out
from the home of poor but pious loving
mother, wandered from the straight road,
was whipped by the demons over a arid
desert fed upon hot sand in his burning
thirst, felt a word of mercy like cooling
water on his tongue, saw rainbow Of hope
over the abyss of seven years of sin, and
was restored to strength and purity, iffrot
happiness. When he has told this, he
can turn to other men, can paint society
with vivid pencil and conduct an argu-
ment with a vigor more effective because
tolerant. Sometimes he will introduce an
illustration, like that of the boat on the
rapids, which will hold an audience in sus-

seek relief in appropriate tumult.
A WHITE LAD ABDUCTED BY INDIANS.
A lad of II years, son Of DR.. Foster, liY-
ing near st. Paul, Minnesota, was alb
ducted by a Winnebago Indian few days
ago. The Democrat says he possesse:
unusual intelligence for his age. He is
an apt scholar, and when at home was
much given to reading, and had latel,
read many books of travels, which ap
pears to nave inbuded him with spiri
of adventure, which he has taken th,
present opportunity to crafty. His faith
er resided some two years with the Win
; nebagoes, as Superintendent Of the Gov
ernment School, where he became &C
quainted with many of the Indians an
acquired considerable knowledge {
their language. It is most probable, there
fore, that the lad took fancy for India
life, and resolved to crafty it.

Horace Haynes, young man of Den
mark, Ashtabula county, was arrested on
the Cd inst, pretty clearly implicated in
the murder, some days peryious, ofLyman
Sutliff, man living by himself in the
woods, between Denmark and Dorset, in
that county.
SutllH was an eccentric charcter, who
had bought and improved a farm, got up
on it some stock, and there had lived some
time alone, distant from any neighbor a
mile Or more. He frequently visited ad-
joining towns, and was well known in the
vicinity as harmless, inofensive person.
A number of days since, a man residing
in Denmark, called at Sutlilf's residence
to procure some potatoes which Sutliff had
promised to reserve for him, found the
house borken open, evidences Of robbery
on the premises, and general confusion Of
things, showing that the owner had been
some time absent; but no trace Of Sutlif

a REVEREND PRoFLIGATE.-A clergy
man of Mobile, Alabama, DIR. W. T. Ham
ilton, of the Gevernment-street Presby-
terian church in that city, a man celebrat
ed in many parts of the Union for his
ability and eloquence, was lately discov-
cred to have been for years running a
career of unbridled licentiousness and
profigacy, causing the ruin Of several re-
spectacle young women, members Of his
congregation. Rumors affecting his repu-
tation had been in circulation for some
time, but such confidence was felt in his
integrity by his friends, that it was only
when rumor gave place to open charges
that committee Of investigation was ap-
pointed, before whom such a mass of evi-
dence was presented as left no doubt of
his guilt. The Mobile Register says he
was forwarded to leave the city by a cer-
tain time, or mob violence would be done
him. The reverend proiiigate took the
hint and left.

venson and dozen other Clevelanders,
who lately stopped at Havana on their

siderably while in the city, and represent
to the Plain Dealer that the feeling in fa
yor ofannexing is intense, and more open
ly talked about than ever before. Sever
al persons, with whom the party convers-
ed made no secret of their contempt of
Spanish rule and their ardent desire to-
be incorporated with the United States.
