was heard Of before and the cause OF such an
unlocked for effect was earnestly sought. And
here the most wonderful phenomenon we have
ever been called upon to chronicle was maze
manifest. Our reporter, who furnishes the
facts, fastened to the race in Neenah, where
he was told by milers who had investigated
the matter that the water wheels were unable

yario ps parts of the North, presenting the ad,

ton of person. n.N security
Several gen,' 'leInen visited Fredericksburg

mesent either of them with Il farm If, after
their arrival here. they could find one instance
in which IJnion man bad received any harm,
in bodv or estate, by reason OF his political
oDipions One Of these gentlemen jestlngly
remarked that he didn' t see how he was TO get
farm from Tibbett's unless he turned IN and
killed off SOON one, himself, and LAID the
