As Walker R. Church and sheriff Brayton with
two deputies and others we're proceeding on
Saturday T. II. to make sale of property 10 the
town OF Bern, 90 miles from this city, in the
Anti. Rent district, they we're fired upon by some
persons in ambush-they Immediately gave
chase and arrested young man named Shultz,
q son OF the person whose property was to be
sold, and found him with q gun. One of his
shots passed through the hat of one of the sher-
MS party. No one was injured; the sale was
then concluded without further trouble.

be rendered to morrow in the police case.

questionable, impractcable old texts as this

"And if there came in also poor man in

to the poor man: Free seats up stairs! Stand

A CELEBRATED WEApoN.-In the affair Of
honor which did not come off between the editors
of the Yeoman and Commonwealth at Frank
fort, KY, Mr.. Green of the latter had at his
disposal the very same pistol with which Aaron
Burr killed Alexander Hamilton, in their ia
nous duel of 1903. The pistol was transferred
by Mr. Burr to his second, who presented it to
a member Of the Marshal family, of Virginia.
1t was used by Hon. Thomas F. Marshall in his
duel with James Watson Webb-Mr. Webb
having served term in the penitentiary, all for
the honor of being shot by so classical weap-
on. The last human blood drawn by it was on
the occasion of the duel between Hon. E. G.
Marshall and Hon. J. w. McDougle when the

A NEW GRASS IN IowA.-An Iowa correspon.
dent Of the n. Y. Tribune mentions the intro
duction of new species eff grass into that State,
which he thinks is not grown in any other State
in the Union. The seed originally came from
Hungary, hence the product is called Hunga-
rian Grass. Cattle are said to be more fond of
it than of blue grass, while it will produce two
crops per season, or four tons to the acre. The
writer says he is satisfied that it will take pc.
sition in the agriculture of Iowa second only to
the corn crop.

/ There is no part Of the territory Of the United
States, says the New York Tribune less known
than the great district, equal in extent to New
York and Pennsylvania put together, included
between the Yellowstone on the west, the Mis-
| souri, River on the North and east, and the
Platte River on the SOUTH All this extensive
District, except the southeastern corner OF it,
| ID which the more northern settlements Of the
new Territory of Nebraska are beginning to be
formed, and so III lch Of it in addition as may
/ Be seen FROM the decks Of steamers which as
Seud the Missouri and the Yellowstone for the
purpose ofthe fur trade, is known to us only by
the reports of the Indians and the trappers,
which upon all questions of geography and topo-
graphy are very vague at the best, and as expe-
renee has proved to us in the cases of Utah,
California, and other lately explored Districts
, are often absolutely false; at all events very
little TO be relied upon. Upon the strength of
these reports, all geographers have represented
this dstric. divided into two parts by chain
Of mountains extending northeast and south
vest, to which they give the name of the Black
Ill., Upon all our maps, and in all our school
Biographies and ALIASES, these same Black Hills
sgure with the same positiveness as the Allega-
pes themselves. Yet the Government exploration
Of the last two or three years have shown con-
tasivey that as to the northerly portion of the
POSITION assigned to them, any such chain of
hills is q pure myth We are glad to learn that
X new expedition, also uads- Govornmont ~u.h-=
|Ori,y, is getting ready at st. Louis to ascertain
whether the supposed southerly part of these
supposed Black Hills is not as much myth as
the northern portion has proved to be. This
expedition is under the command of Lieutenant
6, R, Warren of the Typographical Engineers,
who is represented as an officer of untiring eli
lugy and is IN every way qualified for the trust.
| He is directed to explore the sources of the Lit
sae Missouri and the Cheyenne, and to ascertain
! shclher they actually rise in any mountains. as
aIl our maps represent, or whether, like the Red
River and many other of the far Western rivers
ltAey have their sources in the elevated plain
Another part of the duty assigned to Lieut..
Warren is to explore the the course of the Eau
iqsi-court, (or Running Water,) and of Loup
FORK of the Platte, with u view to u military road
rom the mouth OF the Sioux River, in the north
@ corner of Iowa, to Fort Laramie and thence
4 the South Pass. Should this route prove
Ia, 'tical, 1t would DO continuation due West
the route by railroad from Chicago across
Forth, Urn Illinois aud Northern Iowa, and much
be sho. test and most direct line of communi-
Eion d etwcen the South Pass and the region
i the IRE at lakes. No doubt, the explorations
baie the chuatology and agricultural resources
this district, as well as its topography and
hslities for the construction of roads, will
throw aew light II this hitherto unknown re-
