the name of Munger, who was crossing the

the bees were before and behind him SO
thick that he found it impossible 10 run.-
He then commenced fight with hat in
hand but he was very soon overpowered,
and fell down with faintness, and would
soon have died had it not been for a son of
MIR. Decker-who was at this time approach

young man and attacked the poor dog with
such fury as to deprive him OF life before

TA few days ago Mr.. Ilges, a Ger
man, was threatened with violence by the
Democrats of Dubois county If he attemp-
ted to make Republican speech there.
In keeping with this intolerant conduct was
the effort made at Fort Wayne last week to
prevent Carl Schurz from speaking. AS
soon as the first appointment of that gen.
tleman was announced in that place, the
Democracy set meeting for the same
night, the same hour, and the same locality,
nearly, to raise pole, expecting by the
fuss and hurrabing of the occasion TO drown
Mr.. Schurz's voice and compel him to stop.
But sickness in his family compelled Mr..
Schurz to change his appointments all
through Northern Indiana, and the Dem
ocracy in consequence had to put up their
pole without putting down any body. They
considered that pole raising thrown away,
and as soon as the change in Mr.. SIS sp-
pointment was known, they appointed an
other pole raising. for the same night. the
same hour, and the same place that set
\ for Schurz. The pole was to be put up at
a point only thirty feet from where Mr.. S.
was to speak. This mean. infolcrant. con
temptible trick so e1asperated the Demo
cratic Germans that they were about max

tlemen began to smell rouble, and magnani
