Beat this.

We have heard of good many small things
aud mean acts, but the following which was told
us the other day is about contemplate speci-
men of sordid meanness as was ever brought to
our notice.
Some years ago while Capt. WARD was sail
ing craft ON the upper lakes a man fell over
board in the evening. The fact was immediate
ly discovered and the Captain promptly threw
number of loose articles into the lake for the
drowning man to seize upon. Among these
happened TO be bunch of shingles from lot
which the imperiled gentleman was having
transported on the boat. When the vessel was
turned about it was fonnd that this bunch had
hoated within reach Of the man and that he had
sustained himself upon it.
He was taken on board and without express
sing any gratitude for his deliyerance, he told
the Captain, with considerable agitation, that he
should expect pay for his shingles that had bsen
Mro,oa orerboard Capt. WARD replied that he
was sorry-that il he had known the shingles
were his he would not have done it
This is true story, and when anybody can
beat it he shall have hat, and if he desires it,

apparent that the animal was afflicted with that
horrible diseased
"a few DAYS since Mr.. Hannah, of our city,
observed his horse, q fine animal, actingstrange-
ly. He would lay hold of everything that came
within his reach with his teeth and shake it
savegely much as rat terrier worries its vic
tim. While the gentleman was watching him
the animal reached into pig pen that stood adj
iaceut to the lot where he was confined, and lay
ing hold of good sized six months old pig,
threw it I'D in the air This feat he repeated,
and then setting his teeth in the body of the
pig, crushed it into The earth, gnawing and
mangling it frightfully. The horse then took q
second pig, and treated il in similar manner,
and then large two months old calf, which he
tossed into the air as lightly as a mouse.
The owner in the meantime had sent for Chas.
Streuver, the popular farrier, but when MIR.
Streuver arrived the horse was somewhat quiet

ure and called the horse to him. The animal
came up quietly, but as soon as he was near
enough caught Mr.. Hannah by the shoulder and
threw him violently to the ground. face down

crushed gnawed and shook him, while his eyes
were CLASSY with rage. The imminent peril of
Mr. Hannah reused Mr.. Streuver to instant
exertion he sprang on the fence, pulled of n
rail, and succeeded in knocking the animal down,
but not until Mr.. Hannah was horribly bruised.
The animal was then shot. MIR. Hannah will
not be effected with the virus, inasmuch as the
teeth of the horse did not penetrate the cloth

COLD SPRING, March To-
MEssRs. EDITORS In your paper of March 9th,
l notice shipment of lumber, by Durkee, Truesdell
Co, to Spring Grove, Walworth Co., via. Chicago.
In the point of destination of said lumber you are
mistaken. 1t purchased byJ c. CRUMB Co.,
and brought to this point Gold Spring Prairie elev-
en- miles north west of Woodstock, McHenry Co.,
Ill.,) for the purpose of starting Lumber Yard
that amount, so 900 feet being wanted here before
the track could be laid to this place. which will be
done early in May next. You stated correctly that
they saved one dollar per thousand, by purchasing
in Kenosha. On the better grades, they saved three
fou- times that notwithstanding it cost them 50 25
per thousand, to get it from Kenosha to Chicago.
This is indeed a Suggestive ITEM and as my af-
fnities are, and ever have been. with Kenosha,
having always rejoiced in her prosperity and been
panied at her depression, you will permit to make
q suggestion or two that may rebound to your, and
! perhaps to mutual benefit.
| First am five miles south of the State line and
five miles of the west line of Henry Co., where
a Depot is located by the Chicago, St Paul & Fond
Lac Railroad Co., ut point where we can and will
annually control from 300 900 to 500 900 bushels
grain, large proportion of which will be wheat
You may consider this rather large talk but am
sure if you well aware of the unparalleled
advantages, and productiveness of This region, and
the noble class of producers that occupy it, as am,
you would say the estimate was too small rather
than too large.
Again, we are forty-two miles from Kenosha, and
fourteen from Genoa, and straight line, from Ke-
! nosha TO us, would come within half mile of the
latter place. and the grading from Genoa here would
be as favorable as almost any Road in the West.
Ana by coming here you would save six miles
of Road, 100000, and enjoy the same facilities
you would by going further north. And you would
tap the very agricultural heart of McHenry County,
which you must be aware would be of no trifing
account to your city.
Chicago is GO, and Kenosha AZ miles from us
Where shall our produce go9 and from whence shall
our lumber and other supplies come? proper
| subjects for mutual reflection.
Yours very Truly T. G. A.

A Young Lady Four Days in the Snow
Wonderful Preservation

Iowa Point, X. t., Feb. o. 1856.
EDITOR KANSAS HERALD:-This has been
day OF intense excitement in our quiet town,
by young lady OF this neighborhood being lost
Ill a snow storm. The facts are as follows
A Miss Martha Perkins, who resides five miles
from this place, was on a visit to her brother-in
law who resides here. On Tuesday last, the
9Th inst, she started to walk home 1t was
showing hard at the time she started and con-
tinued for two days. The snow was then IL
inches deep. Her road was mostly over high
rolling prairie, the snow beating directly in her
face. She pursued her journey with much diff
Guilty until within a mile of home, when she lost
her way and rambed about until near sunset,
when she took refuge for the night in deep
bushy ravine. There in the deep snow she
constructed very ingenious little house out of
the tall weeds that grew near by, and there she
spent the first night of camp life, without food
to sustain life or fire to warm, or any clothing
except her apparel to shelter her from the storm,
the little weed house she had erected being the
only thing she had to keep her from exposure
to the bleak winds and bowling storm. Early
next morning she started out i'll pursuit of her
home, but went entirely different course. AZ
ter travelling all day, frequently thro' the snow
four feet deep. exhausted and fatigued, her feet
frozen, abandoning all idea of ever reaching
home, she stopped and again built her q weed
hut. In this little frail tenement she resigne
herself to her fate, and it came well nigh being
her last resting place upon this earth She re-
NAMED IN this situation, and at this last named
place, from Wednesday until Saturday, about
IL o'clock. when she was found by party who
were in search of her. She had been out four
days and half, and four nights, exposed
to the merciless storms on the prairies. The
weather was intensely cold. During two nights
of her exposure, the thermometer ranged from
II to 90 below zero. She said to those who
found her. that she never slept during the
whole time, believing that if she had gone to
sleep. she would never wake again.
1t is a most miraculous escape from DEATH &
those noble spirits who searched and found her
deserve great praise. To think that a young
and delicate girl, not over IS years, could travel
through such a snow storm FIVE miles, wading
often waist deep in snow; lie GU. the open
prairie, exposed to the storm of snow and
piercing blasts of the wintry wind four days
and nights, without food, fire or even blanket
and then live, is hard to believe, but such is the
fact beyond a doubt, as at half our citizens,w who
were in search of her, can testify. Her feet
were badly frozen, but is is believed she will en-.
tirely recover, with the loss perhaps OF few OF
her toes. Oh who does net feel thankful that
this fair being was plucked as a young and ten
der flower from the very jaws of death, and re-
stored 10 her almost distracted parentsl

A few Facts to be Remembered.

Mr.. Greulich, of the Assembly, ono of the pub
fishers of the Milwaukee See Botc, the organ OF
the Catholic Germans i'll letter to that paper,
gives a very one-sded account of the case OF
the contested governorship in the supreme
Court. He concludes by incorporating ana
abusing the Supreme Court. He states that the
Court has decided that it has jurisdiction over
the Executive The man who makes such an
assertion must be very nl-inforined, studiousy
averse to telling the truth, or excessively stupid
Their decision has been, not that they have Ju-
risdiction to enquire who is Governor but to
ascertain if the State canvassers have regarded
the provisions of the constitution in awarding
the certificate of election for instance, wheth-
er they gaze it to the man receiving the highest
number of votes; and that they have the power
to GUST intruders into the Office, pc rsons claim
ing to be Governors, who are not entitled under
the constitution of the State. Mr.. G. goes on
to raise the cry of usurpa:on against the court,
to ask if there is any safety in State where
such power is conceded to the judiciary that we
had better live under the dominion of the Gar
of Russia. &c, ideas which Barstow's counsel
and the argus entitled to the credit of ergi-
mating.
Mr.. G. carefully avoids any allusion to the
facts of the the late canvass. Now, if he be a
candid man, if he desires to know the truth, If
he dare publish it when he does know it,
can furnish him with convincing evidence of
the following facts We ask him and every cit
lZen or the stare 10 read them:
l. That Barstow' majority, by the State Can
vass, was only l57.
2. That in the town of Waupacca, which by
the census Off une last contained only 3SS males,
men and boys included, over 600 votes were
| polled for Governor, and that the State Canvass
! gives Barstow asa majority in that town, while
it can be proved beyond the pc ssibility of doubt
| that BARSTOW'S MAJORITY WAS BUT
| SIXTY-NINE!
;. That men have been to town %, Range
10, where rs majority counted for Barstow,
and found that there was not single voter in
the town last December, while indubitable evil
dence exists that no polls opened there last
fall; that polls were opened at Gilbert's Mills
from which 80 majority for Barstow was count
ed; that no polls were opened at Spring Creek
from which "a majority for Barstow was count
ed; that no polls were opened at Bridge Creek
from which "a majority counted for Bars
tow, and that no voter lived in the Bridge Creek
valley last November.
4. That several of the supplemental returns
are on the same kind of paper, and that pecu-
liar kind, written in the same kind Of ink, aud
IN the same hand crttiHg!
5. That these supplements have yet more sus-
picous features the torn edges ofhatf sheets Of one,
