Ravases Of Wolves in lowa---Two Persons

Ravages Of Wolves in lowa---Two Persons
Devoured.
Owing to the extreme cold weather for
some time past, the wolves IN Pottawatam;e
County have become dangerous neighbors.
Poultry-yards and sheep-folds have been
robbed to fiightful extent, and in several
instances the hungry beasts have not been
inclined to spare the human species.
About three weeks ago, man was re-
turning from prayer meeting, accompanied
by his two daughters, one sixteen and the
other twenty-three years of age. They
were all riding the same horse, when sud-
denly pack of timber wolves assaulted them,
and being unable to escape by flight, they
attempted to defend themselves. But the
ferocious brutes attacked the horse, render
ing him unmanageable. The oldest daughter
was partly thrown and partly dragged to the
ground, and instantly devoured. This en-
abled the father and other daughter to es-
cape. Several neighbors were soon muster
ed, but upon repairing to the spot nothing
was found but one shoe, and very few
remnants of the unfortunate girls 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 persons have been chased by these
savage animals.-Keokuk Post.

FRIDAY MORNING, JANtjA'Y Is, 1856.
Tho Medicine Workin..

The agitation of the Slavery Question IN
the Legislature has had the effect to frighten
the dominant party into introducing bills
into both Houses prohibiting negro slavery
in any part of Minnesota. The bill was in
PRODUCED in the Council by Mr.. Flandreau-
gentleman who remarked only few days
ago that the Minnesota Legislature had
nothing to do with the subject of Slavery.
His is sudden but we trust hopeful con-
version; and we have faith that others will
speedily follow. At the last session, Mr..
Thompson, now of the Council but then of
the House, introduced a bill of this charac-
ter, and both Swings" of the Democracy
united their whole forces to vote it down.
Rapid progress in the establishment of Re-
publican principles since then has assuredly
been made.
But what commentary is this bill of Mr..
Flandreau's upon his friend Lofts majority
report in the House, which stated that Slav-
cry was forever put to rest in Minnesota by
the Ordinance of 1881! The Rice side of
those records will be NEST interesting
study for the people during the next twenty
years or So
The bolt which the Flandreau and be La
vergne bills-now before the Council and
House-contemplate from the principles of
the "National Democracy" as promulgated
by President Pierce in his late Message.
must be duly noted as we pass alorg. The
propensity to dodge, it appears, is still the
leading one among the members of the Fac
ton

Who Are They2


We have overlooked the fact till now, that
the Free Press on Monday, abiding to the
probable vote that evening in the House
pom the Nebraska question, had the follow
ng paragraph in its leading editorial:
=" Possessing majority of one in the
House, through the auachase of two republic
cans, and an outrage committed upon Mr..
Vaughn's constituency, it is natural to con-
clude that the report submitted by the ma
jority of the Committee, being Pioneer men,
will be adopted"
Will our neighbor be kind enough to tell
US who the two Republicans are that have
been purchased by the Rice faction. The
fact is that every man on that floor who was
elected as Republican, and two or three
who were not SO elected, strictly speaking,
have stood by their principles, and against
the majority faction, on every vote since the
session commenced.
