The young man whom we spoke of yester-
day as being injured at the fire on Thursday
afternoon, is named John Bancroft, of Du-
buque, Iowa, and is foreman of 'No. 2" hose
cart, of the fire department there. He was
not cut by his own axe. as we were informed,
but by man cutting along side of him.
1t has been proposed to raise purse for
him, as he is poor and in destitute circum-
stances. We hope this will be done, and if
those having it in hand shall present it to our
citizens, let them do a charitable act, and
contribute towards it.

THE WAR TRAIL: OR ThyHUNr OF THE WILD
HORSE; A ROMANCE or fHE PRAIRIE. By Captain
MAYSK REID Published by De Witt, New York.
This is another of those racy, exciting
works Of this author, Astounding in descrip-
tons of wild sports in the West, very much
like his former story Of the Scalp Hunter. AL
together it is very Reliable book, and will
be welcomed by many who admire his writ
ing. and this class of romance. They smack
much it is true, Of that wild improbable vein
which runs through the Munchausen yarns
of Gordon Cummings in South Africa, but
are pleasant and interesting, and altogether
as good as any of his series.

Mr.. KING exhibited figures to show the

came forward and received their official oath
at the hand of the President.

The Proprietor of the "Shillalah House,"
on some other delightful retreat in the neigh
borhood around the corner of 4th and MIN
nesota street, kicked two men out OF his rum
hole night or two since, after getting all
their money away from them, and after beat
ing them, they being stupefed with liquor
called on an officer who came up to arrest
them. But he saw more cause to arrest
Pat, or Mick, or whatever he was, and SO
marched him off, On the way up, however,
bv means of rock he grabbed up, he COM
PEELED the officer, who was unarmeo' TO re-
lease his hold, and escaped. 1t is pity the
officer had not his baton, so that he could
have enforced submission by few gentle
raps on the head, and secured him when be
would met his deserts.
