A LITTLE DIrFIcuLTY IN TIE WAY.--An enter

siness vsitto small town in an adjoining county.
Hearing in the village that a man in u remote part
of the township had lost his wife, he thought he
would go and see him. and offer him consolation,
a grave stone, on his usual reasonable terms
He started. The road was n horribly frightful
one, but the agent persevered and finally arrived
at the bcrcaved mans house. Bereaved mans
hired girl told the agent that the bcrcavcd man
was splitting fence rails 'ovcr in the pastur,
about two miles" The indefatigable agent hitch
ed his horse and started for the "pastur." After
falling into all manner of mud holes, scratching
himself with briars and tumbling over decayed
legs, the agent at length found the bereaved man.
In subdued voice he asked tho man if he had
lost his wife, The man said he had. The agent
was very sorry to hear Of it, and sympathised
with the man very deeply in his great afiliction;
fbut death he said, was an insstiste archer, and
shot down all Of both high and low degree. In

A twenty mile trot came off at Detroit
a few days since between the Buffalo
horse, ,"Unknown," "and the Detroit horse,
"Frank Granger" vger' aFys
The first ten miles were made in 30.-
25, "Frank Granger" leading about two
lengths. The fifteen miles were made,
in 1929, "Frank" still leading. On the
first quarter Of the fifteenth mile the Sun
known" Tapped his antagonist, but the
latter again brushed up to his old position,
and so until the eighteenth mile, when on
the first quarter "Unknown" passed the
other horse, but Frank Granger" again
got the lead on the second quarter. On
the first quarter of the nineteenth mile,
"Unknown" again dashed ahead some
three or four lenghths, but the "Frank
Granger" ovorcame it. On the tween
ticth mile the whip was vigorously ap-
Piled; the "Unknown'' again passed on
the first quarter, but "Frank BGranger"
again passed at the half mile post, the
Unknown" broke up and soon broke
down, dropping into slow trot and then
into walk, from which the cruel blows
of his drivers whip could not arouse him
and on the third quarter he came toa
dead halt, and dropped upon his knees
with exhaustion. The "Frank Granger"
made the twentieth mile in 3.54. The
whole time consumed in the race was
hour 6 minutes and SO seconds. The
Press says Detroit can safely challenge
the Union to bring on its fast and strong
horses. i a

A Great Gun-Killing made Easy.

The Buffalo Erpress tells OF wariko
invention just brought out in shat city,
which is Of an extraordinary character
provided it possesses all the qualities rep
resented. a-.s. ..s.. s-,-
at was tested yesterday afternoon in
vacant building on Washington street,
between Seneca and Exchange Streets.
The piece is q beautiful little brass gun Of
the usual shape, mounted, on wheels, and
SO constructed that a rotary cylinder
constitutes the breech which contains four
charges replenished by means Of a hop
per,and fired as rapidly as man can work
an ordinary lever backward and forward.
The piece is discharged by electricity, ,and
from this, results an important and valu-
able discovery, which was developed af-
ter the completion of the piece. By
means Of the battery and wires connect
ing with the cylinder by which ignition is
caused, the cylinder becomes perfectly
electrical, whicA keeps Il as cool as If contim-
ually Jathed IN ice. Some two hundred
rounds were fred yesterday in rapid sue
cession at the rate of 80 rounds per min
ute, at the end Of which time without
using the swab once, the breech was much
colder than when the firing commenced.
The rapidity of the firing was much rctar-
ded by the bad quality of the cartridge
in use, but such as it was, it was suili-
cient to demonstrate, the complete sue
cess Of the invention. Even twenty rounds
per minute would seem to be sufficient for
all reasonable, or unreasonable, purposes
for that matter; but we entertain nc
doubt that with' cartridges properly pre-
pared, the inventors expectation of &C
rounds will be fully realized. We un
derstand as soon as all arrangements arr
completed the inventors will proceed tc
Washington and lay their plans before
the Government. The necessary step!
have been taken to secure European pat
tents, and when all is complete, an(

) lieve that nations can hereafter afford L

PATIENCE WITH CHILDREN.-Onc OF
the requisites for the successful training
of children at home, or in the school room,
is patience. Every teacher, whether the
mother or the hireling, will find her lsbors
made easy by the constant exercise OF this
cardinal virtue. If they "let patience
have its perfectwork, "in their own hearts,
it will be visible in all their conduct, and
exert salutary influence upon the minds
of the young, in whose future well being
they feel deep interest. a..sg
There may be hours when. perplexed
with care and worn out with undue la
bor, the mother would feel the rising Of
impotence in her heart; but nip it in the
bud, before the fruits become visible in
act, of which she may afterward bitterly
repent, Let no unkind word or has,y
blow be given in anger, lest the remem-
brance of it should prove a poisoned ar
row to the bleeding heart, when those lov-
ing eyes are closed in death, and the head
which nestles en- her bosom is pillowedin
the grave. Children are won by kind
words, but cross looks and harsh words
deter them from seeking our sympathy.
or giving us their confidence. The moth
er or teacher should regard the sports Of
childhood as blessing, join in their inno-
cent amusements, and draw from them
some useful lessons for their future
consideration. They should learn to look
up to her as friend in whom they could
con6de, who will hear patiently with their
childish follies and in kindness see to I'M.
prove whatever be amiss in their manners
or morals. 81. fS,-e ,-iy.s.., ls6a,

the Chippcwas were brought over, and
the squaws hacked them to pieces, and
finally made fire and burned them up !
This last sickening spectacle of barbarity
is said. by those who Witnessed it, to have
been hailed with fendish exultation by
the Sioux.
About ten o'clock the Chippcwas drew
off, and the whole force retreated over
the bluffs, in the direction of lake Mime
tonka, leaving four Of their warriors be-
hind them, one of which, from the deco
rations on the scalp, is supposed to bc a
distinguished chief. AS they passed q
certain point on their trail, they were car
rying six, and some accounts say eight,
wounded braves on litters, besides those
wounded who were able to walk, some Of
whom seemed to be badly hurt The
Sioux then returned 10 their encampment
with great exultation over their victory,
and counted their loss, when it was found
that two were killed, two pronounced by
physicians present to be fatally wounded,
and ten others wounded more or less pre-
senting bloody picture of barbarism to
the crowds Of citizens who had assembled
there. -Four raw scalps were Haunted
on pole, and four ghastly heads were
paladed'as trophies, besides the disfgured
trunks Of two others. Nh. i. t.5..
During the whole battle, the high bank
which overlooked the bottom across the
river near Maj. Murphy's house, was
lined with spectators---indeed, "the
whole town" might be said to have been
there, watching the fight, and seeming
to enjoy the unusual spectacle Of two ma
tions Of barbarians numbering, mangling,
mu!ilsting each other in full sight Of a city
Of christians, its churches, court houses
and institutions Of learning--barbarism
andi.s brutal spectacles, in contrast with
enlightment and its blessings.

Indian Battle i'm Minnesota.

Sir killed and Eyhtcen Woundea, The
st. Paul papers inform us of battle
fought near Shackopee, Minnesota, be-
tween the Sioux and Chippewas. The
Pioneer Of the 28th says: s
We learn from the officers and passen-
gers on the Antelope that q band of two
hundred Chippewas, under Hole in the
Day, the celebrated Chief had appeared
on the north shore of the Minnesota, op-
posite the town Of Shakopee, about day
light yesterday morning, and commenced
the battle by firing upon and killing Sioux
engaged in fishing. The Sioux soon
gathered and crossed the river, and the
attacking party Immediately commenced
retreating toward the bluff, for the pur-
pose undoubtedly Of drawing the Sioux
still farther into the marsh at that point,
in order to place them almost completely
in their power. In a short time after
crossing, few Of the Sioux returned on
the ferry boat, having with them the body
of a Chippewa, which hadbeen captured
and decapitated.
One of the passengers saw another
Sioux shot down while running toward
the river, and from the most reliable in,
formation we can obtain, three has beer
killed at the time the Antelope passed
Shakopee, at about eight o'clock in the
forenoon, and they were still keeping uI
! a constant fire, but the distance between
! the two parties was too great to max,
their shots very accurate Or deadly.
We also learn that Hole in the day hat
sent word to the inhabitants Of Shakopee
if they offered no interference, he woul1
drive the Sioux where they poperly be
! onged, on the Reservation. ,tig
The Minnesotian, Of the goth, gives

Mysterious Death at Wyanet, Iowa


Mysterious Death at Wyanet, Iowa.
Miss Catharine Guthrie, an orphan,
aged % years, native Of Bloomington,
has been for some months, past an inmate
Of the family Of Dr. Holmes Of Wyanet,
who married her sister. She is represen-
ted to have been girl Of handsome per-
son, good mind, ofcheer(ul temperament,
generally, and Of an afectionato and con-
iding nature. s
On Saturday last she went out into the
prairie in company with a young lady
from Princeton, and young gentleman
Of Wyan ct, to whom report says she was
atfianced, spent a portion Of the day in
gathering flowers and in the altar part
made one in fishing excursion. Dur
ing this time she exhibited no signs Of a
depressed condition Of mind, but was as
gay as any. of the party. Returning to
the village at .nightfal with her compan-
ion from Princeton, they passed the eve
ming in company at the house of neigh
Dor. At ten o'clock the young gentleman.
to whom it is said she was engaged, ac-
companied her TO the step Of her sisters
residence, and she invited him in, but
4 he declined on the score Of being weary.
j DR., Holmes came in about one O'Clock
| in the morning and observed no indica.
tons Of restlessness on the partof the
sleepcr,who was SO near that every breatl
could have been heard. In the morning
early it was discovered that Miss Guthrie
1 was in a dying condition, and too ia
gone to exhibit the least sign Of con
sciousness, and in short time life depar
ted. t.e4.s.a. Il n 49,. 81
/ In some portion Of the bed was found {
small bit Of paper, apparently torn from a
I letter. and in pencil marks recognized as
the handwriting Of Miss Guthrie, wa.
traced few lines, stating to her friends
I that she was happier now than she had
been, and requested that no examination
of her body should be made to ascertain
4 the cause of her, DEATH, No, signs OF poi
son Of any kind was found, or of any eth
er means whereby death could have been
produced, nor is it known that she ever
purchased any poison which she could
have used for the purpose N The means

mains mystery, never likely to be re-
vealed, as the friends have strictly COM
piled with her request in declining to
make a post.mortem examination. 'f',,' ,.s
