himself in the school house, on North
Avenue, in Burlington built fire,
MIXED the COWS, and "subsisted' him
self generally, out Of the fairness Of the
land belonging to the good people Of
that neighborhood. He was discov-

not before he had drawn loaded re-

A YOUNG man in Chicago has brought suit

A YOUNG man in Chicago has brought suit
against his youthful wife, whom he alleges to
have defrauded him of certain sums of mon
ey. 1t seems he has been husband to her
only in name, asserting himself that he dis
covered she was extravagant and that there
fore he repented his bargain, and wanted to
receive what money he had bestowed upon
her. Probably it was only Platonic affection
he had for the girl: but it must be allowed
that however beautiful such love may appear
in theory, it is always found to be unsatisfac
tory. The Justice dismissed the charge, ex
pressing the utmost contempt for the man,
and advising the girl to go and do as she
pleased.

A GALLANT FIGHT.-The Louisville Jour-
nal tells of gallant fight made by Captain
Sam Tabour, and his nephew, John, lad of
sixteen. They belonged to Home Guard
Company, and were surrounded in the Cap
tain's own house by noted guerrilla chief,
Captain Pratt, with his desperadoes armed
to the teeth. Knowing that surrender would
be suicide, they determined to sell their lives
dearly:
They refused to give themselves up, and a
fight at once ensued. Young Tabour fred
the first shot, shooting one of the outlaws
through the heart The Captain was not
long in following suit With his unerring
rifle he brought down another of the scoun-
drels, when the five remaining guerrlllas
started to flee. Pratt turned to fire parting
shot. when the Captain rewarded him with
ball in the mouth, which settled, in short
order, his temporal affairs. Pratt had scarce
ly fallen before Tabour took aim with navy
revolver, and brought the fourth scoundrel
to the ground.
The remaining three halted about two hun
dred and fifty yards from the house, and one
of them was in the act of firing when the boy
took quick aim, and shot the gun, Spencer
rifle, from the hand ofthe outlaw. This closed
the fight. Capt. Tabour arrived in the city
yesterday, and presenting himself before Col.
enel Farleigh, made the following report:
"Colonel, we have some captured property
to account for. We have three dead men,
and one wounded, prisoner. We have
three live horses and dead one; three En-.
field rifles, one carbine, and four saddles.
What must we do with them?" Such are
the spoils of the victory. We will wager
that more gallant little fight has not occur
red during the war. Pratt was one of the
most desperate outlaws in the State, and his
followers were noted for their bloodthirstiness
and daring.

GRAINED his old stomach so full of donated
patriotic thunder that in belching it forth the
window glass ratified, the welkin rung, the
surrounding mountains reverberated the pat

the terrible conclusion. Fora long time old
Shasta has kept Teddy quiet because the glo-
rious news came to all in such steady, matter
Of course streams, that, though all felt glori-
Gus, rejoicing seemed too much like growing
over an insignificant and beaten enemy
But when Charleston fell, human natdre was
too weak to bear it in silence. Nobody drunk
though, and Teddy done all the talking, and
when the noisy stimulant gave out, silence
and quiet Joy reigned once more in our town.

Col. JoHNsoN's reply TO the Marx pamph-
let occupying five mortal columns of solid
matter, aud portion of it in very small
type, is published in the Union. johnson
seems to be laboring under the impression
that We wrote the pamphlet. In this he is
wholly mistaken. We did not write or die
tate one word of it, and had nothing to do
with it,except to urge and secure the suppress
sion OF some severe passages, which we
thought could do no good, and might do
harm. We happen to have evidence TO prove
these facts.
We presume Captain Marx can manage
his own defence, and carry the war into
Africa" if necessary. AT any rate he has
never asked our aid in his case, nor have we
had any thing to do with it, except to notice
his pamphlet, after it was published.
We have also read Col. Johnson's reply,
and we are now fully convinced that the pros
ecution of Marx was piece of personal spite
and political malice that Marx never wrong.

J. G. Devoe got SIG of Marks money which
he has never accounted for. If Marx had
been republican the plot to get him out of
the army would never have been Matched
Col. johnson admits that he borrowed $500

him and he lays the getting up of the case

(Johnsonl and Mrs. Higgs stopped at the
Sherman House, and says ''if there is law in
the state of Illinois Marx will receive q tull
measure of it for this vile calumny"-yet he
admits precisely what Marx charged. John
son says he, and Higgs, and Higgs' wife,
went to Chicago ar the same time, 1.-THE time
Marx alludes to) and that they all stopped at
the Sherman House. He then says that he
sent Hggs, (who was his adjutant) off to
Washington, Philadelphia. New York aud
Boston,-and thus johnson. by his own pub

johnson, don't forget to bring that suit and
press it to trial, for there will then be good
