Big Fish.

Our streams are getting famous for the eX-
celent quality of their millions of fish. Fresh
fish have been drug in our market all season.
At NeOshO Rapids the other day we heard of
some large sized ones being caught. What we
are writing might be called a fish story" Gid
we not know it is true in every particular.
Twenty-Five pounds is nothing astonishing for
| fish to weigh in that vicinity. Geo. w. VAN
! sickle told us he caught one which weighed 80
pounds Young Ogden beat him by hauling
out one that weighed 81 pounds. But all things
considered, Mr.. G. D. Trego, ne conner from
Ohio, FATHER beat the crowd on fishing. One
night he blited his hook with frog. y small

swallowed the bait A big fellow, wei hing

swallowed the seven pound fish, frog. hook and

NEW INsTRUMENT.-We neglected last week
to notice the arrival Of the new organ at the
Normal School. 1t is from the music estab-
lishment of Foster & Yelverton, Lawrence, and
is not only a fine looking instrument, and an
ornament to the school room, but is ofeXcellent
tone and power, sufficient to fill the large au,
dieMce room. 1t is of Peloubet make. 1t was
purchased by means raised entirely by enter
tlinments given by the school. Its price was
$3.50, but it was purchased at $3.50, through the
| liberality of the manufacturers and Mcssrs.
Foster & Yelverton. 1t is the instrument that
took the premium at the Kansas State fair last
fall. We congratulate the School en- having
| such Il valuable acquisition.
The instrument was presided at during the
exercises ut the Normal and Teachers
Association by Miss Nellie Storrs. She is an
excellent and graceful performer, and her
playing added much to the interest of these
two occasions. The audiences were also favor
ed with some fine piano music by Mrs. Emma
Jones, through whose kindness the hall was
furnished With a piano throughout the eXer-
cises. Mrs. Jones is an efficient performer

NEW York, Oct. 5.-The greatest mass meeting
ever held in New York took place this evening, in
Tammany Hall, Fourteenth street and Union Square.
Every ward was largely represented and banners and

The meeting at Tammany Hall was held in the spa
cious room in which the deliberations of the Demo-
cratic Convention were conducted. General Bady
Smith presided; and, speaking as the representa-
tive of hundreds of soldiers who had rsked their lives
in the war, he declared it to be his opinion that the
results of the would be lost unless there was
entire change in the policy of the government.
Hon. Sanford e. Church was the next spe aker, and
argued that the Capitalization policy of the Radicals,
unless checked, would result in deprying the larger
States such as New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, of
preponderance in the affairs of the government that
properly belonged to them, in consideration OF their
numbers resoureee and the amount contributed by
them to the support of the government.
An eloquent address was also delivered by Hon. A.

The accounts which have been received of trouble

the extent of the trouble and the number of casual
ties On the 10Th ultimO a conference was held be-
tween the leaders of both parties, which resulted
an agreement satisfactory to both. On the 27th
however, personal difficulty occurred between two
white men, one prominent radical politician,
which led to a collision between squad of negroes
and a suad of white men.
1t is reported that one white man was killed and
four wounded, and two negroes killed. Number of
negroes wounded not stated. The local authorities
ordered the disarmng of the negroes, which was

Another Horrible Massacre of Unionists.

New ORLEANS, Oct. o. 0pelousas in the
parish OF st. Landry, has been the scene of a
horrible massacre of Unionists. According to
the Bul etin, violent Rebel paper there were
one hundred negroes killed and fifty wounded,
and OF the Democrats, so-called, none killed,
and but four wounded. The st. Landry
Progress, Union paper has been totally
destroyed, and the French editor is supposed to
be murdered.
This evenings Republican publishes a letter
from an eye witness, who states that last Mon-
day three of the Seymour Knights went to the
residence of and severely whipped Mr.. Bentley,
editor of the Progress, and q prominent leader
of the Republican party. Cause, alleged publi-
cation of an article to which they objected.
News of the whipping of Bentley rapidly spread,
and the colored people commenced assembling,
armed, but were prevailed on by Bentley aud
others to return to their homes and keep quiet.
The Rebels then sent out armed patrols to the
various plantations to disarm every Unionist,
which they did, according to their own showing,
killing one hundred and wouuding fifty. Armed
patrols of socalled Democrats still hold posses
sion of the country.
This evenings Times publishes an account of
an outrage at Shreveport, resulting in the
killing of three Democrats and fifteen Republi
cans. There is every indication that between
now and election day there will be a wholesale
slaughter of Unionists throughout the State.
