in q genealogical work BY Dir. Nash, just pub

There is q curious coincidence connected with

Of late we have been so often called upon to
tell Of acts Of savage cruelty aud bloodshed
that it has indeed become a most painful task.
We had hoped that the Forester tragedy would
not again be enacted in our midst. But we
have now to repeat the same story of blood
shsd and barbarity, and from prospects, there
may yet be many a repetition. On last Sunday
evening Mr.. st. Williams, living on the Medina,
about fourteen miles from this city, was cruel.
-ly butchered by party of six Indians II seems
that he had gone from his house for water, and
soon after his wife. hearing him shout for assis-
lance. ran to the spot and found that the cruel
work had been dOne-her husband was killed.
The Indians then came to the house, robbed it
Of its contents, and carried Of their three chill
dren. They left the house . short distance,
and sat down to enjoy q feast served up with
the most shocking cruelty. Mrs. Williams fol-
lowed them, and BY entreaty succeeded IN pet
ting from them her two youngest children.-
The other, a little girl, they would not give up
but carried off with them, and is still q captive
among them. They also drove off the horses
of ME. Williams. Mrs. Williams started off
for \ neighbor's house almost fsantic with pffief,
scarcely knowing where or for What she was
going. After wandering abont, lost and be,
wildered, for the whole Of Sunday night, about
daylight. she came up to the house Of MIR. Ca
ruthers. gtga gd
Several citizens Of the neighborhood started
off immediately in pursuit. We have not yet
heard whether or not it is likely that the indians
would be overiaken, but would rather think
that they will make their escape. .s3s'sla l.s29
The news reached our city about noon on
Monday, when q company Of about fifteen o.
twenty regulars. uDded the command Of Capt.
Calhoun, was sent out to spread Ahavoc and
destruction" among the whole Indian race! We
shali expect very soon to hear Of 4 dreadful
slaughter Of the red skins! Indeed we may
look for acomplete, e~xlsrminalon Of
them!-SGn Antonio Ledge. :,

The New York Tribune says that Russia
can still concentrate an army of three hundred
thousand men at a given point, and adds:
sand there are people who believe that
Nicholas will sue for peace if Sevastopol be
taken! Why Russia has not played one.third
of her trumps yet, and the momentary loss Of
Sevastopol and of The fleet is hardly felt at all
BY the giant to whom Sevastopol and the feet
were but a plaything. Russia knows full well
that her decisive action does not lie along the
sea shores or within reach of debarking troob>;
but on the contrary, on the broad interior Of
the Continent, where massive armies can be
brought to act concentrated on one spot, with
ont fritsering away their forces in a ~fruitless
coast defence against evanescen, enemies.
Russia may lose the Crimea, the Caucasus.

ages; but as long as her body, with Moscow

The Intelligence by the Arabia says the
bombardment of Sebastopol has commenced,
and that it is expected that it will fall in taco
or three days. This, says the Baltimore Sun,
is not SO certain, as it will be remembered that
the Russian troops at bylaw resisted in open
field for fourteen hours every attempt Of Napo-
leon, with the flower Of his army, to break their
ranks. Such men, behind entertainments, are
not likely to be easily dislodged. But il may
be well enough to refer to history. to zee how
easily fortified places are taken:
@Genoa, in 1900, sustained q blockade Of
sixty and a siege of forty days. Saragossa, in
1908, sustained a close siege OF nearly TWO
months, and again in 1909 for two months.
Verona, in 1909, sustained q siege and blockade
of seven months, fourof them being of open
trench. Cuidad Rodrigo, in 1910, two months.
Tortona, in the same year, six months. Bada.
jos, in 1871, Sustained a siege Of more than
forty dsyA open trench. St. Sebastian, in
1913, sustained a siege and blockade Of nsarly
three months, with over fifty days of open
trenches. Pampaluna. in 1919, four months.
Monyo0, 10 1894, also four months."

We learn from a gentleman who has just
returned from an excursion in the country
about Vincennes and over in Illinois, that
the wheat crop seems to be excellent every
where. The rye crop is larger than usual,
while more than the average quantity of grass
has been cut. The corn crop is also turning
out better than was anticipated great deal,
although there may not be more than half a
crop. The ears will be better filled and the
grains more compact. Farmers will gene
rally have enough for their own use, and
some to sell. We now speak of the farmers
in the region traversed by this gen'emun'
Blu. in many parts of the State, the farmers
are cutting their corn to save what has been
left to them by the excessive hot and dry
weather. In this portion of the State no
halfa crop will be raised, while many fields
are utterly worthless.

Observation-Disclosures DEATH.-Yes.
terday morning jasper Sanders was drowned
at White river, miles west of this place.
Sanders was about q years of age, and was
at one time, a very shrewd and intelligent
afflicted with fits. Yesterday morning he
and small boy went to the river, from a
house at which Sanders was stopping, and
they were fishing from high bluff on the
river, when Sanders took fit and rolled down
into the water, and before the small lad
could give the alarm, his comrade sank to
rise no more until embraced by death. He
was found with but a little trouble, few
yards from the place he had tumbled in.

Corn Mil and Lum befYafd Destroyed.

Last night about IL o'clock; d fire broke
out ia the corn.mill belonging to, n. w:
Halves; on Campbell ST., between Jefferson
and Green. which was totally destroyed
The flames communicated from the mill to
the undergrad of Messrs. Huing q Lacy,
which contained large amount Of No.
lumber, all of which was consumed. The
yard extends to Green st., on the opposite
side of which were several frame and brick
buildings, which soon became prey to the
devouring element.
On the other side Of the mill, on Jefferson
street, the fire extended to a two story dwell
ling house, and a stable. When we left the
scene, there were six houses burning on
Green street, and two on Jefferson.
Water was not to be had, Notwithstanding
the almost superhuman efforts Of our gala mt
fire corps, and there was prospect Of the
fire extending, ad minimum. 1t Is supposed
that it is the work Of an incendiary. We
hope this severe lesson may induce our up
town friends to vote for water works next
time they have an opportunity.

nothing in it of abolition character. 1t does
not propose to abolish an evil, but simply t'

x,orm,nx tho First District.

sDr. Fitch made a speech here last eve-
ming. Col. May and Hon. Jos. E. Melon
aid will speak in Evansville a few days
hence. They are all Nebraska Democrats
By what other distinguished fellow-citizens"
they are to be followed, is uncertain. We
presume it is the intention Of the "swindle"
faction to deluge the First District with or
ators from abroad, this canvass. They ap.
pear to have come to the conclusion, that
the people of the First District are unable to
do any proper thinking for themselves ou'
that emissaries must be sent among them te
tell them Just how to think. Whether these
good people will consent TO do just as Doc
tor Fitch. or Colonel May, or an HonoraOl
Nc Donald ay dictate-or whether theI
will ever consent to swallow the gtoss mis-
statements and sophistry of these and othe
Nebraska orators-remains to be seen. w
think they will probably prefer using thei
own Judgment, unbiased by paid ennis
saries who have no other object than t
crush this spontaneous movement OF tn
people, in opposition to Northern doughface
and the continuance of their rascally inhu
ence. we should like to know what pa
