Hon. A. A. srEELE-This gentleman, who
was one Of the "res guing members
Of the Legislature, viii return home to-day,
lie will address his constituents, and show
up the course Of the radicals, and we hope
( everybody 10 Marshall county will be pres
ent and hear him. Blr. Steele is a man
who has a record as pure as that Of Presi-
dent Johnson himself, and therefore needs
no loud mouthed pretensions to prove his
loyalty. Those who nave been mixed up
in the rebellion are necessarily obliged 70
make -pretensions to devotion to the Gov
eminent but for one who has been true as
Mr.. Steele has, this ia unnecessary. Mr..
S. will be reelected by his constituents
without opposition. We are glad Of this,
as no man is more deserving the confidence
Of the people. As long as Mr.. Steele holds
& sea. in the Legislature, the people Of Mar
shall county need have no fears that their
interests viii suffer.

A GENUINE OLD FoGY-There lived a
man in the town of Marion, Wis, who
is sixty years old, and who never went
to a bar of any kind and took a drink
of ardent spirits; never attended a the.
atre or show of any description; never
took a chew of tobacco, or smoked q
pipe or segar; never went to a ball or
danced q step; never played a game of
cards, billiards, dominoes, dice or
chequers, or any game whatever that
is played for money; never courted
but one woman, whom he married and
lives with yet never joined any order
or organization except the Christian
Church, of which he is yet a member,
and never had his name in a newspaper
but once which was when he was mar
ried, and so refuses to give his name
for publication now.

Escape Of the Maraudmg Party.

A gentleman who arrived in this city,
from White county, yesterday, informs u5
that on Thursday night a party of three
men visited the farm Of Wm. Glenny, in
White county, aud went to his barn and
took out two horses valued at one hundred
dollars each. and could have made way with
the animals, but they determined 10 rob the
house ar well as the stable, and accordingly,
IA as quiet a manner as possible opened the
door of the dwelling, and entered it, and
commenced searching for valuables.
Mr.. Glcnuy was sound asleep at the time,
but in rummaging the house one OF the viii
laius stumbled over a chair and aroused
Mr. q. and his son, who Immediately leaped
from their bcds-the former Selling o double
barreled shot gun, which he fred at random
into the room in which the thieves were,
when they fed prcoiPitajely-so precipt
lately that they left the two horses which
were hitched to the fence.
A large quantity of blood was found on
the floor and in the yard, 50 that it is ccr-
tain that the contents Of the gun took effect
on one Of the men, and it is believed be was
badly wounded. The men were ON horse
back; but whence they came or where they
fed, is as yet a mystery.

SINK THE PARTISAN IN THE PATRIOT-
President johnson, in a conversation with
Mr.. Raymond, Of New York, a few days
since, told him that " he was not q party
man, and meant to sink the partisan in the
patriot" That declaration, says the Louis
vile Journal, was worthy Of the highest
statesmanship-worthy, indeed, of the
mighty nation over which it's author pre-
sides. Let the people everywhere, regard
less Of party, take up the noble sentiment
and make it the keynote TO the great strug-
gle which all conservative men must now
wage against the radical elements Of the
country.

At a period like the present, when our
city is filled 10 overlooking with a transient
population, and diseases prevail to an ex-
tent hitherto uudreamt Of, IL Is proper hat
the means of cure should be Of ready ac-

should nave information which will lead
them TO avail themselves of competent
Medical advice. Men who have been edu-
Gated in the best schools of the profession
Of Medicine, and been successful IN a prac-
tice OF many years, are surely worthy Of
confidence if they have given their atten-
tion exclusively to one branch Of the pro
irsslon, and made themselves masters of it,
they have still more right to expect sup
pert, Ilore particularly II they have afford
ed proof of their ability to cure. To this
latter class belongs DIR. L. l.. COLEMAN,

SAD OCCUBEENCE.-Sunday afternoon at
about half past one o'clock, as the train for
the Memphis Branch Of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad was moving out from the
depot at Bowling Green, a oue-armed man
by the name Of David Adams attempted to
board the train. The frs. effort was unsuc 70
cessful, as was also the second, for he
slipped, and being possessed Of only one
arm, he was not able TO recover himself, and
fell under the wheels Of tue train, four Of
which passed over his body, crushing it 70
e Jelly. Strange to say, notwithstanding
the immense weight, the body was not sew
cred.
Mr.. Adams had been switch tender, for
the past two or three years, at the junction
Of the Memphis branch with the Louisville
aud Nashville railroad, and was intending
to return to his post when this fatal mishap
belel him. He seemed 10 enjoy the full con
ddence Of his employers, as his position
was one Of great responsibility, having in
his keeping the lives Of hundreds. Wedid
not learn whether Mr.. Adams had a family
or not. lie was about forty years Of age.
