There is now in this city, says a Fort
Dodge paper, at the house of Major Will
liams, little boy about years old, who
escaped the bloody massacre by the In
dams at Springfield, NJ. T., on the 9th Of
March LAST, aud who was brought to town
by the volunteers who went up to the res
cue. He says his name is John Sidman
Stewart We learn from some of the sur
vivors of the massacre that he is tie son
of Josiah Stewart, formerly of Indiana
county, Pa The boy says that his grand
fathers name was Fleming probably his
mothers maiden name.) All the boys
family, father, mother, and two little Sis
tiers are among the murdered
Also, young lady, about Is or IL
years of age, named Elizabeth Gardner
whose family were also murdered, she only
escaping the horrid fate. She says hel
fathers name was Roland Gardner, but
she knows not the residence of any rela-
tives, if they have any; and all communica'
tions In reference to- them, addressed te
Major Williams, Fort Dodge, Webster
Co., Iowa. will be promptly answered.
They will be kindly cared for till such time
az their friends shall come for thcnl.--
Newspapers throughout the United States
will confer favor by publishing the above

Prescription.

Several, indeed most of the Republicans
of this place advertise their business in the
Democrat; on the other hand not single
Democrat, we believe, advertises in the Re
publican. Does not this fact demonstrate
most conclusively which is the proseripfipe
party? They hope, by this course, to starvc
us out. Whether they will succeed, or
not, remains to be seen.
Their prescription, we are told, is not
confined to us, but every prominent Repub-
lican in the place comes in for a share. If
this be so Republicans owe it to themselves
to do likewise, in self-dcfense.
We do not approve or recommend such
a state of things as tn, above, but when
one party practiscs it, the other is ncccssa-
rily forced to adopt the same course
Were it to do otherwise it would exhibit a
tame and trucking disposition unworthy OF
men Of spirit. Besides, it is a duty we owe
our opponents to let them know that pro
scripfion is game at which both parties
can play,-otherwise, they would be con-
firmed in their course and become more and
more illiberal from day to day.

We find the following paragraph in ref
erence to this important work in the last
No. of the Rochester Flag:
eve learn from the Peru Republican that
corps of Engineers are engaged in relo-
eating the line of the 2. & G. II. r. be-
tween Peru and Eel River. Several chang
e. are being made in ascending the summit.
They follow the valley east of Hines Barn.
This will involve an increase of curvature,
and grade, and one not allowed under
the order of the board directing the
location. Yet everything considered it
doubtless is the true policy of the company
to make the change. Our citizens univer-
sally feel deep interest in the construct
ion of the road, and we are not without
hope it will be crowded to early compile
ton. 1t is an important work for Peru,
and equally so to the Stock holders in the
Peru & indianapolis Road
We are very anxious to sec this road
completed, satisfied as we are that it will
prove immensely advantageous to the ag-
ricutural and commercial interests of the
country.

Local Iffms.


Messrs. EDWARDS & SHANK have COM
menced the brick-making business in this
place. and will have kiln of I25. 900 or
loo'ooo burned and ready to sell in the
course OF live six weeks. Success to the
enterprise. -
. z-Mr. BBDD, recently of Niles. Mich.
has leased the EDWARDS House, in this
place, and is fixing up the premises in
very tasty manner. Mr.. BOD is a very
polite and agreeable gentleman, and we
have no doubt will become very popular
host. f 4fH
Our best wishes attend the retiring host,
Mr.. EDWARDS. We hope he will find his
new vocation equally pleasant and profita-
bic as his old one.
Judge FULLER has commenced repair
ing his mill-dam, and expects to start his
Touring mill in few weeks. He will
grind wheat for toll as formerly. The ma
chincry in this mill, we are told, is excel
lent, and the Judge assures us that he can
and will make as good -four as any other
mill in the county The more mills we
have the better it is for the consumer.

Efz- The Sham Democratic prints in
this State assert in the round-st terms that
the Republican majority of the Senate re-
fused to pass the usual appropriation and
revenue bills last winter Nothing could
be moro utterly devoid of truth. The Bor-
der Ruffian Democrats in the Senate pre-
vented, by their factious and revolutionary
course, the passage of those bills,-and
whatever consequences may result from
their failure will Justly attach to Black De-
mocrats, who, i. seems, are determined at
all hazards to rule, as we'll as r.in the
country. But they have acted the brag-
gadocia and bully long enough. Forbcar-
ancc toward them, has only rendered them
moro desperate and daring. The will OF
the majority, as expressed through the bal
lot box is deliberately thwartcl by these
political bullies, whenever it suits their con-
vcnionce. For one, we are lii favor oil
adopting the law of Ter tolionis in their
case, and use whatcvcrforc may be neces-
sary to prevent them from injur.ng thu
country by their dangerous prcccdents.-
Argument and moral suasion is time lost,
thrown away upon such party. They
arc band of political desperadoes, (the
leaders we mean, and should be treated as
such characters are treated in all civilized
communities. All who arc in favor OF
peace, good order, the supremacy Of the
law, and republican institutions will, ere
long. see and acknowledge the force of these
remarks. In the name of Democracy prin-
ciplcs arc advocated and acts perpctrated,
which. if not stopped, cannot fail to destroy
our present happy form of government.

A Valuable Spirit.

Mr.. c. w. Cathcagt writes 10 the .Sfirit-
ual Telegraph. from Laporte county. Ind,
detailing the following instance of power.
He says:
During the last harvest wind blew off
the straw hat of one of my hands. My at
tention was attracted to it, as, seated on
my rcaping- machine, i rounded the corner
next to him. The hat was forty rolls of,
and l should think nearly, ifnot quite, 300
feet high called in a loud voice king,
(the familiar name of our presiding spir-
it, bring that man his hat The man in
stantly stopped still. The hat whirlei a
round, came back and dropped precisely
in his hands. He was so surprised that he
did not shut his fingers upon it, when it
fell to the ground on his feet; and he picked
it up without moving an inch from his po-
sition, which he had held immovablc from
the time had called The man was no
Sprititualist. / called out without reflect
ion, and can only say that did not do SO
wantonly. This curious affair was wit
messed by at least eight sedate witnesses,
but few of whom were crazy Spiritualists- y
We publish the above to excite the read
cr's risibles as it did ours. There is no
accounting for the gullibility Of some pac-
lple.

rrTbe Circus is coming. |

EE The Circus is coming, boys
Have you got the quarter ready? If not,
stir round and get one; that is if you want
to see the best circus that has been here for
some time past.
In addition to the Circus there will be
two or three very attractive side shows, ac-
companying. One is a large woman,
weighing four or five hundred lbs., and
another the Grisly or California Bear, -
the largest one, it is said, in the States. If
so, he must be monster. The Grisly
Bear is the most powerful as well as the
most courageous and dangerous beast be-
longing to this contincnt,-but to be APP
preciated must be seen.
.Pitch i'm boys, save your quarters
so that you may be able to take your sweet
hearts along to secthe funny things"

Air Line Bra ich OF the VI. ;. & N. i. Rail-
road Completed

We gather from our exchanges, says the
ST. Joseph County Forum, of the 9th, that
the finishing rail on the Air Line Road from
Toledo to Goshen was laid down this week
yesterday orday before; and that through
trains on this Branch of our Railroad will
be running between Chicago and Toledo
before the end of this month. All honor
to the management, forthc energy displayed
in pushing through this work thus carly in
the season.

The Local of the "Democrat" reiterates
a chargcw we saw once before in that paper,
viz: That some Republicans of Plymouth,
offered ''Pat McCarty, an Irishman, .ttfy
dollars, for his vote and influence, at the
late State election" We have made some
inquiries among Republicans in rs5a rd to
this matter. and are assured that the as
se,tion is untrue, so far as they know or
believe. Will the Democrat now be
little more specific and tell us the name or
names OF the Republicans who attempted
to bride the Irishman? If it refuses to do
this 1t will pardon us for characterizing the
statement as entirely fabulous.

Mammoth Oven for Ch,ca-o.

The people of Chicago who use baker
bread" will be glad to learn that we are to
have mammoth oven erected in Chicago
similar to those now in operation in Brook
lyn, New York and other eastern cities.
a new building is about to be erected
for the oven near the corner of Lake and
Clinton streets and the whole cost OF the
affair will be some $4,000. This oven
will bake some FIVE hundred barrels of flour
per day and the result will be great re-
duction in the price of bread.

At the recent term Of the Harrison Cir
cult Court, Pratt, who was on trial for kill
ing Miller, the indictment was quashed, and
the defendant was recognized to appear be-
fore the Clark Circuit Court, for the
purpose of having al Indictment found a.
gainst him.--fryus, Coryion Lu1.
Bat few of our readers, we presume, cy-
crheard of this case. 1t occurred two
years ago last fall, near Jacksonville
Pratt, during Whitcomb's administration,
we belieyc, was keeper of the Pcnitentiary,
where he grew immensely wealthy. He
has the character of being man of ungov-
crnable temper. The man Miller, whom
he killed, was in his employ, chopping
wood. They disagreed, and Pratt killed
him. 1t was deliberate, and so far as
we could learn from tho evidca, &c given
on his rial,-whcn eleven of the jury were
for hanging, and one for acquittal, al
most entirely unprovokcd. More than
two years have passed since his first trial,
but Pratt's counsel, we believe has man
aged ever since, under some pretcxt, to put
of a second trial. He came so ncar swing
ing on the first that he is afraid, until he
succeeds in corrupting the principal wit
ness, or gets him out of the way, to risk
a second one
1t has been the general impression from
the start, that, on account of his wealth,
he would manage in some way to get clear
eventually, Notwithstanding the almost u
Universal belief that he ought to hang and
would hang were justice mceted out to him
impartially
The acquital, or what amounts to the
sam. thing, permitting the wealthy mar
derer to postpone his trial from time to
time until the witnesses die or remove, ex-
ercises a very pernicious influence upon
community. Confidence in the ability or
willingness of Courts and iur.cs to protect
our lives AMI punish the transgrcssor, is
weakened, and hence the growing inclina-
ton, too frequently manifested among the
masses, to take such cases into their own
hands and administer justice in summary
manner. If Judge Lynch's Court is ever
abolished the legally constituted tribunals
of the country must administer Justice more
impartally, between the rich and the poor,
than has been customary since we have
been "a locker on In neither England
or France, monarchial governments as they
are, can the wealthy escape the punishment
of their crimes so readily as they can il
this. 1t is a shame that this should be tho
case, but it is too true. How long shall
the reproach rest upon Us?

Es- We publish to-day Ex-Governor
WRIcHT's speech ON the Bank. Next
week we will find room for Mr.. McCuL-
LocH's reply to the cx-Governor's speech.
Our readers will then have both sides of
the question and be prepared to decide for
themselves.
Not having examined the charter of the
new Bank very carefully, we are UMPIRE
pared, at present, to express any opinion in
regard to the question We confess, how
ever, that we are rather inclined to take
sides with the Ex-Governor The people
ought to read his speech, at any rate.
