An ExcIrINc CHASE.

A few nights ago young gentleman from
this city went over into Ohio, to call upon
young woman Of his acquaintance who hangs
out not far from Bridgeport The young
man had heard limitations that his Wits
were not altogether acceptable to the father
Of his inamorata, and II had been arranged
between the two that the young man should
call late at night, after the old folks had gone
to rest. 1t was. therefore in tho neighbor-
hood Of IL o'clock when the anxious youth
approached the house and was met hy the
young woman. The father it appears, sus.
pected the daughter, and therefore went to
sleep with one eve open-the only one, by
the way, that he had-and when the young
couple had seated themselves comfortably
upon wheelbarrow near the house, the old
man rushed upon the unwelcome visitor with
club. Of course the young man ran, and
the old man not being able to fellow with
any hope Of overtaking him, called his dogs
and set them upon the trail. The young
man took through a wheat field, and for about
quarter Of mile it was nip and tuck between
the dogs and the man, the latter getting a
very fair share Of the nip. He at last reach
cd fence, anil sezng club, succeeded in
keeping tn. savage dogs at bay until the
brutes were urged on by the voice Of the old
man who had come forward to call them off.
Both the dogs and the young man evidently
misconstrued the old mans approach into a
signal for the renewal of the fight. Under
this impression the young man started to re-
treat and was terribly harrasscd by the dogs,
from which he found great difficulty in pro-
tecting himself until they were called off by
their master, who had succeeded in making
himself heard and understood. The young
man was badly bitten about the legs. and his
clothes were completely torn from his body
He returned to the city and has since required

Good Riadance.-A couple of gamblers
who have been infesting our place with their

Certain reports derogatory to the character

The following note, having reference to the
above mentioned affair, has been handed US

as in most others, the resolution became pub

march fo- the den, very large proportion Of
our population were on hand to accompany
them. The excitement was intense, blood

where the lions ought to be, tho excited pco-
pie were told that they were on the wrong

than kick, SO Of course they must search

friends. Their efforts were crowned with
success.
In the meantime, the lions were found to
be no lions at all, but foxes, exceedingly
shrewd and cunning, but with claws Of ordi-

beasts and giving them wholesome lessons,

Cedar Falls Company.--Bclow we give the
muster roll Of the company recruited in this
place the last week. In this company Of
volunteers are some Of our best and most re.
spectcd citizens, and among them many Of
our leading business men. No company has
gone forth from any place containing more
intelligent and honorable gentlemen than may
be found in this corps. Comprised almost
wholly Of citizens Of our own town, we know
what they are, and are proud Of them, and
wherever they 80 it will be a credit to us to
have it said they are all Cedar Falls men,
We shall all feel their absence serely, and
long for their safe and early return. They
are endeared to us by the ties of business,
friendship. and kindred blood, and warm and
loving hearts will daily pray that God will
shield and protect them from all danger.
The company elected its officers last Mon
day evening, as follows :-R. P. SpEER, Cap
tain; THEODORE STUNNING, First Lieutenant;
EDWARD TowSssNp, Second Lieutenant: 7.
G. SALISBURY, Orderly Sergeant. The three
first mentioned officers were elected by ballot
and wcrs the unanimous choice Of the COM
pany on the first vote. The Orderly was
chosen by reclamation. The non-comm,s-
stoned officers, with the exception of Orderly
are to be appointed by the commissioned off
cors. The company could not find better
men for the positions, than those they have
chosen. Mr.. STEER is known to all Of our
citizens as All educated and honorable gentle.
man, possessed Of indomitablc pluck, and
wthal cool and sagacious in the hour Of dan
ger. lie is just the man the boys will be
proud to follow. Mr.. STIMMING was men,
Der of the immortal Iowa First, holding the
position Of Orderly in the Jackson Guards.
He was present at the battle OF Springfield
and acquitted himself nobly. He will make
a capital officer. Mr. TOWNSEND, the end
Lieut., is member Of the banking firm of
Townsend & Knapp. He is one Of natures
noblomcn, and in his election the boys made
a happy choice. Our friend Tom SALISBURY
is Orderly Sergeant, and we can cmphatically
say that he is the right man in the right place.
Hs promises the boys that nc will look out
for their welfare with fathers care, and he
is man that will keep his word good.
1t is not yet decided upon when the COM
pany will leave for the rendezvous but prob
ably in few days.
