and for a time, at least, the terrible tued
appeared to have ended. The cessation OF
hoStiIities brought the survivors of the war
ring families back to CP-ter county. IheSe
survivors consisted Of Randall Rogers and
Robert Johnstone both battlescarred vet
Grams and both unmarried men. On the
evening Of the 5th these two men met II
a grocery at Elizabethtown, AMI soon be
came engaged in an atercatior: ByStand
ers interfered, and for an hour or two col
lsion was averted. They were separated
oy friends and taken off in opposite direc-
tions. This occurred about noon. About
3 o'clock, as Rogers was going up street,
he saw Johnstone coming down. As they
neared each other they drew their revol-
yers and commenced simultaneously firing
upon each other, continuing to advance as
they fired. Finally and when about four
feet distant from Johnstone, Rrg rs sank
to the pavement, aud as he lay, the last act
Of his life was to fire the last ch . in his
pistol into the abdomen of Johnstone, whose
last bullet, fired at the same instant; pene-
trated his antagonists brain, causing in
staut death. Johnstone reeled and fell
across the body of his foe, and, when the
bystanders rushed to where they lay, he,
two, had passed beyond the reach of NOR
tai aid Almost at the same instant of
time, theif two bIood-guiIty souls had gone
10 iolo the CORY gR vt, their ancestors.
Thus ended fued that had existed for
twenty years, in the course Of which four
teen men have died violent deaths.

The temperance movement at Na,ning-

somewhat different, but quite as comment:
able, at Dcs MONIES. Last Sateriay even
inc, as we learn from the Rgyisttr Of that
city, the outgoing and incoming State oil
GERS and their deputies had a social meet
ing at the Capitol, duri' g which those wht
were present. twenty five in all, signed the
pledge:
"We the State Officers and Depty State
Officers cf Iowa, do hereby p!ed5t ourselves
not to use as beverage, nor cause to b.

able ways we will discountenanc6 its use III

The action Of the State officers Of Iowa;
including, as it does, all except the Lituten-
ant Governor, who was not preseht bat
who is a strictly temperate man, deserves
special commenda,ioh. 1t will, it is to be

Some wears ago there lived in the city
of Boston an author of distinction who was
not without certain eccentricities Of word
and way. One day a friend asked him

Not any," replied the Professor
''Not any p echoed his friend, in surprise,
knowing that he bad a family Of some hall
a dozen children.
"What dc you DO when your chiIdren
aresick Z"
"WeII, don't do any thing for a few
days, and then if they don't begin to get
better, give them Calomel."
"CoIomel! what, for every disesse?'
"WeIl, yes, for everything" returned the
Professor in his moderate way. "Years
ago | always used to call a docter when
the children were sick; and | found his IN
variable method was to look at the chiId's
tongue, feel the pulse, and shake bis head,
look very wise and prescribe CaIomel-it
always ended in that. So l thought |
might as well give the CaIomel myself.
"Well-buC"-peroisted his friend, hesi

Calomel to give?"
"Well-I give a dose; and then if that
is not enough, | give a larger one and, if
it is too much, nature generally disposes Of

George Landon is a member of our State

Something About n Hog.

i German living within the limits OF
the city, WHOSE name We shall not men
ton, bought large live hog eight or
ten days ago, and engaged butcher to
slaughter the swine for him. But from
some cause the butcher failed TO fulfill
his obligation, and the porker's life was
prolonged for few days. His hogshiP
was placed in stable, the door fasten-
ed, aud everything thought to be Sc
cure. But last Saturday night week
ago, some person, or persons, with q
view of obtaining a supply Of spare
ribs, pigs feet and sausage, did, In a
claudestine manner, open the door OF
said stable, and drive away old grunter
from his new quarters. As soon as the
loss was discovered, son of the Ger
man, a young man Of twenty-three,
having great faith in the efficacy Of
soothsaying, repaired Immediately to
Bellaire, in quest of al old fortune
teller, who makes her home in that
town, in order to gain from her some
clue to the thief, or the whereabouts OF
the missing property. The individual
sought for was soon found, the object
made known, and the woman Of predic-
tions proceeded to describe the conf
plexion and dress of the man who had
so unceremoniously appropriated to his
own use that which didn't belong 10
to hss. After listening to an incoher'
emit harangue from the cid dame, which
lasted for an hour or two, the young
msn returned home, not with flea IL
his ear. nor with hog in his eye. but
with less confidence in fortune telling
We will close this story by just saying
! that ere the sun had set in the western
sky on the Monday following, the hams
hogshead, pigs feet, bristles and al
were found quietly reposing under
large cistern at the railroad maehln'
shop, in Centre Wheeling.

strides and his hic-up chow do yoG do
when he came in sudden contact with

freely that he could not get out of the
way 10 let his "corned" brother pass.
The bricks in their hats seemed to in
cline the same way simultaneously. A
collision was unavoidable, and the
grand finale was two tubs Of whisky
and a salt barrel rolling in the snow.
