Tas Burlington Hap1sys learns FROM
Can. Hillhouse oftbs Kate Cassell, that
quarrel took place between two men
at Burris city on Saturday last, in which
one Of them shot the other, when the
latter stabbed the former with = knife,
and neither party was expected to live
1t the time the Kate Cassell left. We
did not learn the name of the parties.
Tue Hawk<ye says that two men. one
Of whom was an Englishman, became
excited on Saturday evening, over the
news received concerning the late In
ternatiopal Prize Fight, and discussion
arose a. to the merits of the contestants
watch finally resulted in regular pitched
battle, in which the Euglishman was
worsted and rather severely handled.
No arrest was made
THE Corydon Democrat says that
the only excitement in that town is the
transit OF Pixies Peakers and the arrival
Of new goods. 1t says that the weather
is dry farmers are praying for rain !;
doctors complain that it is distressingIy
healthy grass green as usual /; new
post Office has been established at Lu.

IT is thought, says the Keosouqua
Me,cs that the fruit crop in the southern
portion of the State has sustained some
damage from the frost.

nal.
TEMPERANCE Societies for mutual pro-
lection are being established in large
numbers throughout the State, and we
are very happy to see it. Let them be
found in every district.
THE Bedford Taylor co., South
West speaks of very dry season in
that section; says wheat is suffering
much for rain, gardens are perishing for
rain and the wells and cisterns are al
most entirely dried up, and people are
leaving for the Peak. The same paper
duns its patrons sharply and tells the
people to stop grumbling.
The Gate City, Keokuk, says that
one Sticking had q wife one Scothorn,
pilot on the ferry boat, had another.
The former was not satisfied with one
wife SO he ran away with the wife Of
Scothorn and left his own behind him
to rejoice at her good ridance.
The same paper says that an OK was
shipped on the Louisiana the other night
made mistake in passing through the
engine room and entered the cook 8
room. The OK was terrified, the cooks
were scared and fled hastily.
The editor of the Keokuk Journal
says that from the window of his office
he can distantly see four cities and three
States, to-wit-States, Town, Illinois and
Missouri-cities, Keokuk, Hamilton,
Warsaw and Alexandra. Were It not
for the forrest trees which crown the
bluffs on the opposite side Of the river
the view OF Illinois would be uuobstruct-
ed as far as the eye could reach. AS it
is, farm houses and cottages are dis
cernable for miles distant, and glitter
like gems in the dazzling sun light.

CHICAGO CoUNsEL.-This is the name
of new daily and weekly paper started
few weeks since in Chicago, by Alfred
Dutch. 1t is independent-down on

that B. w. Speers, formerly of the Press

probably make living.

The Black Republican State papers
are giving our Gazette neighbors fits on
all sides for attempting to prevent the
denomination Of Elijah Sells, Secretary
of State. The Gazette whines out that
it didn't know that Sells wanted the Of
fee any longer. The papers say that all
the politicians knew it and blame broth
er Sanders like pick-pocket for not
being posted, insinuating thereby that
Sanders is no politician. Well, if he is
not it isn't his fault and he shouldn't be
blamed. Well take his part one Of
these days if those fellows don't let him
alone, and give them fits. Now mind
that.
