AN ISfuRIArED Cows two ladies' were
walking up Harrison street yesterday after
noon, an infuriated COW rushed at them in
the most terrifying manner. The ladies
dropped oil impediments, and made time
up the sidewalk that astonishcd them>
selves. The COW gained rapidly on them
however, and had they not taken refuge in
q dwelling house close at hand, . most
shocking casualty would undoubtedly have
occurred. Who the owner Of the animal
is, We did not learn. Such dangerous
stock should not be allowed to run at large.

weather 30 late in the fall a. has been the
case for the last two seasons. Navigation
closed on the 4th Of last December, the riv-
cr being filled with floating ice on the
morning Of that day. The probabilities
are that We will have ice week sooner this
year. Shipments have become very scarce
and n far IS all practical purposes ore cen

A Coop IDEA-The Keokuk Gate City
says the Jews Of that city have new way
Of selling their ''goots" and collecting ray
for them. They sell them 70 niggers on
time, and when they wish to collect, they
head list ostsnsibly for the relief Of the 81
ble brother, whom il alleges is disabled or
very poor. OF course il does not take long
to raise n respectable sum among the ''lcy>
a." and when it is done, the Jew places Il
to his credit. The Jews, II seem, have .
correct appreciation Of the times and know
better than TO 60 around With list for the
relief Of white man.
