A Terrible Tragedy.

Mr.. Abner SaltzmaD. of the town
of Paris, has received intelligence Of
terrible tradegy which occurred at
Little Lake, Mendosino county, Cal,
at the Judicial election, which result
ed in the killing of Thomas J. Coates,
Wesley Coates, Henry Coates, Albert
Coates, and Abram Coates and IN
the wounding OF Abner Coates; father
of Albert who was killed, and also IN
the wounding of James Coates. One
other Coates was wounded, whose
cbristened name is not given.
The above named were formerly
all residents of the towns Of Platte~
vile and Harrison, and were well
known in this village. OF the party
engaged with the Coates in tho ter
rible fight, two were Killed.
We have no other particulars in
regard TO this heart -rending affair
but as soon as all OF the circumstances
are known We will lay them before
our readers Witness.
Report comes that the difficulty
leading to the above fatal casualties
originated in July last in this way :
The copperheads, at celebration on
the Fourth, forcibly took down or re-
moved the American flag, which ex-
asperated the union mem-the Coates
being the leading defenders Of the
flag. Nothing WIS done until the
October election, when the parties
undertook to settle the matter by n
general fight, which resulted thus la
tally.

The Figures and Facts.

rhe state slection results sAo" that
Grant county has done better this
year for tho Republican state ticket
than other parts ofthe state, having
given the same majority Q446) for
Fs;rcbild as he received in 1860
Had It not been for the local agita>
tion in Grant, caused by efforts to
cure certain disorders in view OF the
future purity Of the party, the repub.
licsn nsjority IN Grant county would
have fallen below 1900. The very
fact of holding our own in the county
under such apparent adverse circum'
stances shows that we were right in
the strike 80 promptly made to
cleanse the party Of demagogue rule.
Next year the public confidence in
the Republican party will be perfect,
the public sentiment firm and united,
and the county will go 1000 majority
AS usual

DIED. AT Schoolcraft, Michigan
Oct. 25th, Mrs. SARAHD. MCCARTNEY,
wife Of w. f. MCCARTNEY, of Cass-
vile, Wisconsin, aged 81 years.
The death Of this amiable young
wife and mother, while it excites the
deep grief of large circle of loving
friends, will awaken in the minds of
many of the earlier settlers of this
County, and, indeed, of western
Michigan, sadly pleasing memories
that reach beyond her own brief life.
Few of these will fail, as they read
this notice, to recall, through the
clouds and mists of thirty years, the
kindly, genial, face of her father, Col.
Lyman | Daniels, and that of her
young mother, whose graceful and
cultivated, but piquant manners ad-
ded SO much grace to the early socie,
ty Of Schoolcraft. Both, alas, destin-
ed to life scarcely longer than that
of the daughter but now called to join
them.
Mrs Mccartney left her home in
Schoolcraft, less that three years ago,
a happy bride, and returned with
the last opening of the flowers, bear
ing the seeds of that disease which,
with the falling of their last petals
was to cause her too, to. lay aside
the cumbrous ornaments of earth for
the bright garniture Of heaven. May
bright suns in the future light up the
skies that now lower so darkly on
the bereaved husband and the moth>
erless little one.-KalamdSoo Mich. J

SHEEP FOR SALE III. Bonham,
Esq, adyertises for sale part of his
sheep, having an excess on hand, the
same ewes and half merinos.
The present is the proper time to
add sheep to the farm stock, because
sheep are down, perhaps to the low
est figure. These sheep of Bonham's
are rated rs half merino. Their
lambs may be improved by breeding,
and in year or two most of the wool
product of such new flock, rate at
three quarters 10 seyen-eighths meri-
no. At present sheep and wool are
down, but rise must follow so soon
as the present stock are out of the
market. This insures demand and
price for wool in good time for stock
next raised up. 1t may be that
clip of wool must be held on to over
the next selling time in view of prof.
iting by succeeding sale season
AS wool saves well only the interest
is lost by keeping over clip of wool.
Large prices on sheep and wool are
only matters of time and patienc e.
