RAvAGEs OF w Olives IN IowA'--OWing
to the extreme cold weather for some time
past, the wolves in Pottaws ttamie county,
Iowa, have become danperou neignbors
roultry-yards and sheep folds have been
robbed to afrightful extent and in several
instances the hungry beasts have not been
inclined 10 spare tb: human species. The
keokuk Post of ''ae 18th uIt, says:
About three weeks ago, man was re-
turning from prayer meeting, aceompa-
MED oy his two daug hters, one sixteen and
the othertwenty-three wears of age. They
were all riding the same horse, when sud-
denly pack Of timber wolves assailed
them. and being unable to escape BY flight
they ATTEMPTED to defend themselves. But
the ierocous bruits attacked the horse,
rer dering him unmanageable. The oldest
daughter was partly thrown and partly
dragged to the ground and instantly d.
voured. This enabled the father and the
other daughter to escape. Several neigh
bors were soon mustered but upon repair
ing to the spot nothing was found but one
shoe, and very few remnants Of the ur-
fortunate gIls clothing.
A boy OF about thirteen years old left his
fathers house to get water at spring
which was about half mile distant, since
which time nothing has been seen Of him
The pail was found near the spring; also
some marks Of blood, and lock or two OF
hair. Several persohs have been chased
by these savage monsters.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA. 1t was brief
ly mentioned few days ago that Samuel
Taylor and wife, an old and respectable couple
residing i'll fwiggs county, Geo, had been bru-
tally murdered. The Macon Citizen says:
MIR. Taylor was found dead in his bed, and
his wife, Sarah gasping Ia death along side oil
him, each with one large wound on the head,
inflicted by the cutting edge of an axe, Mrs.
Taylor lived in all insensbe state about two
hours after Mr.. Tay son, James, reached the
house from his own residence, less than mile
distant The fiend who comm tied the double
murder had afterward ATTEMPTED TO burn the
house, having kudled fire on the bed, be-
Teen the murdered couple, and laid rle of
kIndling wood under the same, more efltctualY
10 destroy all traces of the atrocious act. Ow-
ing to the bed clothing being chiefly of wooien
material the fire did not progress rapidly, but
filed The house with smoke, which caused a

WASHINGTON, Jan. p

WASIuNGTON, jan II.
Civil war exists in Kansas without
doubt, and in spite of the coolest spell o
weather which was ever known there III
the memory of the Oldest inhabitan. OF the
Territory. Will, the. spring the campaign
will open with the advantage OF fine wea'h'
er facilities Of transportation and supplies
and warlike operations. The interval, a.
we may Judge from the appeals made by
the chiefs ofeither party to the passions o.
the people in that region, and the symPa-
thies of their friends abroad, will be EN-
ployed eIso for the purpose OF aggravatIng
the difficulty.
When the State government Of Kansas,
lately adopted by the anti-slavery party
shall be put In opesation; there VIII De
collision, IN which the United States
will, unfortunately, be party. 1t would
be we'll If this collision could be contln-
ed to the inhabitants, as such, for the IN
serposit,on OF the United States would
but render the excitement more serious and
bring within its vortex wider circle Of
communities and States.
ThesUnited States government pay in
yerfere upon the cali of Territorial OIL
State Executive, but in every case hereto.
fore it has been prudently RETAINED from
sdoing this--.as in the Dow war, the Erie
riots, and the disturbances in Philadelphia
in 1874.
The an,i-slavery party in Kansas have
acted unwlsely in making an issue upon
the torcibe suppl esson Of the territorial
government aud laws, and the immediate
establishment Of a State government They
have relied too much upon the favor and
support OF the House of Representatives
which is no House, and An antl-Nebraska
,maiority, which can't be found i'll it.
Ii congress should ever organize, strong
efforts will be made for the passage of a
general bankrupt law. The last few years
, Of speculation ana extravaeance have rem
dered bankruptlaw as ecessa y as it was
in 1941.
The Banks party are still very strong,
united, and determined. Their aim is TO
stand fast. in the hope that the Democrats
or Americans, or the scaiterers may come
to them. They want SIX votes from the
last named class They can go over to the
scaHerers mot Soathroas. as printed in my
LAST and thus make an election, or they
may break up, and permit the Democratic
candidate to be elected under a plurality
rule. The last is the most probable event,
but it cannot occur for some time,

OYSTERS.

TNllE subscribers have constantly on hand large

ity but will not irresponsible for those bought else
where, though they be put up in kegs, as we
learn that some persons have been engaged in the
business of buying kegs and filling them up with
inferior Oysters, thus imposing upon the purchas-
e,r, and infiictiug serious injury upon us. We
know that this has been DONE We understand that
fellow who has been engaged in pediling Oysters
around town, has been buying our kegs and filing
them as before mentioned, and then selling them as
our Oysters. We learn that young man is cogni-
zant Of the fact that 10 or Is hafgalon kegs were
bought at one time. We are willing to exonerate
this young from all reliability and responsible
Y for what he may have done in connection with
this matter, and viii give him ten dollars if he will

Our object is to protect our business We intend to

How slaves Sell and Hire In Missouri.


A correspondent of the St. Louis Repub,
lican makes the following report of the
rates at which slaves sold and hired in
Pike county Missouri, on the first Of this
month. He writes as follows:
AIR. Editor.-There must be Califor-
MIA in Northeast Missouri or the FL Do
rado is in the farmers pockets. Negroe
men scld on yesterday at the following
prices 81, 365, $1,542, $1,405, 81. 215,
ST. 275. These men were common crop
hands, ranging from so to 40 years of age.
Women brought from eight to vine hun
edred dollars, aud one wen. as high as ST.
O40; another as high as $1,753 These
two last good kouse servants and seam
stresses. The women bringing $500 and
5000, were over middle age. Al Of these
sales were for cash. or for bonds bearing
six per cent interest from date. They
were bona fida sales, and the negroes were
all purchased BY citizens OF the surround
ing counties, for farming purposes. The
rise in the price of agricultural products, IL
now telling in the value of labor, and ouI
farmers seem 10 think that the "peculial
institution" is stiil OF some account.
While negroes sold for these prices, the,
hired at corresponding rates. Common
farm hands, young and likely hired io
1920 to 1892; boys of ID and II years Q
age. or Whereabouts, hired for $l40 an'
S15o-in every instance the individual
hiring, and not the owner, paying al
charges, Of every description.
Our surprise at these enormous price
was enhanced by reference to the map o
the United States, which shows that Pix
county is only separated from Illinois b.
