have on at the time he was taken any gar

wife did not tell any person that her hus-
band might hurt somebody if he got exas-

as gentleman, though manifestly he was
chagrined at being taken into custody. Our
soldiers behaved like gentlemen, as they
were, and our officers like honorable, brave
men; an6 the foolish stories that went the

while he was staying in Portland several
years ago, and think that was the first one
who recognized him at the time of his ar
rest.
'When it was known that he was certain
ly taken, some newspaper correspondent
knew his name at the time-fabricated the
story about the disguise in an old woman
dress. | heard the whole matter talked
over as good joke, and the officers who

it. Perhaps they thought the confederate

SHOOTING AFFRAY. The Green Bay Ad-
rocate says that an affray occurred at How
ard on the Goth ult., which, but for the
merest chance, would have proved fatal to
one man at least. we do not learn the
cause Of the difficulty. PATRICK HUNT was
shot by man named HAGAN. The bail
entered his chin, coming out under the right
ear, fortunately making only a painful, but
not a dangerous wound. Mr. HUNT is a
business man in Fl. Horard, peaceable and
respectable citizen, and one of the last who
would provoke such an assault.

THE DREDGE-We regret to learn that
the Nord- Westen of last week contained an
article unjustly censuring Mr. PACKARD for
a supposed delay in constructing the harbor
dredge. If there has been delay of seven
|or ten days beyond contract time, Mr.. PACK
ARD is not to blame, for he could not prevent
the Chicago strike among iron men of that
city, and upon whom he was depending for
the machinery. Instead of censure, Mr.
PACKARD is entitled to the hearty thanks
! Of every tax payer in Manitowoc for the
skillful and substantial manner in which he
has performed his contract. Men who ale
good judges, and who have no interest in
the matter, inform us that the dredge can
not be beat anywhere in the country. A
Chicago engineer has been employed for
her, who is now here, and he unqualifedly
Fustains the above statement. The Nord-
Westen should be more careful in its
BtatemcDts.
