sssH No little excitement has been occasioned by
the sudden disappearance, on Tuesday Of last week,
OF Frederick Rogers, young man who kept saloon
at Helena Station, in this county. 1t appears that
on Monday evening slight disturbance took place
at the saloon between Rogers and young man by
the name of Alex. McCutchin. On Tuesday Fred
Rogers was passing along the road by McCutchin's
lumber yard, few miles from Helena Station, when
several of the McCutchin boys, with one or two 9TH
ers out and stopped him. saying that the little
difficulty between him and Alex. should be settled
then, and requested him to stand and fight stating
that they would see fair play. This young Rogers
refused to do, and started to back on the road
which he had come, which runs along the side of
the river, the McCutchn boys pursuing him and
saying that he should fight One of them whose
team was standing there, jumped into the wagon
and started after him. He passed him, and turning
in the road, ordered him to stop; but before the
others could get up to modest Rogers he had passed
the wagon and was running along the road. The
whole affair thus far had been by several per-
sons, who were on the road with teams, some with
grain and some with Lumber. That was the last
that was seen of young Rogers. The McCutchins
followed on in search of him. but say they were IN
able to find him. In his hurry to get away from
his pursuers Rogers dropped his hat, which they
picked up. Various stories have been in circulation,
changing and enlarging every day. but nothing fur

SUIT of old clothes and an old hat had disappeared
from his saloon at the station and on Wednesday
last Mark Austin, of Spring Green, informed his
relatives, who were considerably alarmed for his
safety, and We're in search Of him, that he saw Fred
Rogers in Sank City, one week ago. which was the
day after the trouble and that he, being we'll ac
quainted with Fred, spoke to him, asking him where
he was going, but that Fred. smiled, but made ne
reply Mr.. AUSTIN we informed, is prepared to
make affidavit to this fact. Thus the matter, fol-

satisfaction of those concerned that more definite
information will be obtained of his whereabouts be

RUNAwAYs.-On Tuesday last team belonging to
Mr.. James George ran away with half load of lum-
Der. They broke the harness in several places, and
injured the wagon some, but otherwise did no mate
rial damage. s1
On Wednesday evening, as Moses M. Strong was
returning to Mineral Point, having in the buggy
with him a Mrs. Seymour, of Pansye, Ohio, who
is cousin of Gov. Seymour, of New York, and a
neice of Moses NJ Strong, something got wrong with
the harness and the horse took fright, throwing
both Mr.. Strong and Mrs. Seymour out, njuring
them both somewhat. Mr.. Strong was considerably
scratched and bruised about the face and head Mrs
Seymour was badly bruised, and, in the opinion of
the physicians who attended her, her collar bone
was slightly fractured. She evinced considerable
pluck and spirit, and was determined to immediately
proceed to Mineral Point. s 8s
In less than ten minutes after the above runaway
Mrs. Watkn Watkins of this village, was driving
along near the same place, when her horse took
fright, became unmanageable, and running away
threw her from the buggy, bruising her some, but
not otherwise injuring her.

Behind the Scenes.
The New York Herald says !:


The Republicans of the House of Rep
resentatives have apparently been work
ing harmoniously and as a unit for the
impeachment Of President Johnson; but
appearances are sometimes deceptive.
We learn, for instance, that the other
evening there was touch Of old Tam
many Hall, in scence which came
very near being an appeal to the P. R.,
at consultation of the Board of Man
ayers of the House prosecution against
the aforesaid johnson. The John A.
Bingham, of Ohio, who, it is alleged,
has this year become eoncsited, dog
matical, pragmatical, overbearing and
decidedly offensive toward those whom
he cannot control, raised regular
"ruction when Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massa-
chusetts, was announced as elected
chairman of the managers. Bingham
bounced to his feet, hared up, de-
nounced the committee, wouldn't stand
it, declared that he was prosecuted, and
raved like a mad bull. "0ld Thsd."
pronounced him an arrogant pretender,
to whom the committee should not yield I;
but, frightened by Bingham, Boutwell,
threw up the sponge, whereupon the
clustering Bingham subsided and was
mud as a sucking dove. From such be-
ginnings great men are occasionally de-
veloped, but not often.

When Did the Bankrupt Law Go into
Effect.


We clip what follows from the Rich.
mond Dispatch:
Hon. T. A. Jenckes, of Rhode Island
who was the framer of the bill, and the
chairman of the committee that reported
it, in letter to Colonel Foster, Register
for this District, dated January 18th,
GAS the bankrupt act did not 90 into
full operation until June l, 1867, the
fifty per cent. claims will not take effect
until June l, 1868.
"An amendatory bill was introduced
and referred in Congress last week,
which recogniz- the date at which this
claim takes eject as June l, 1863"
The opinion of Mr.. Jenckes is, of
course, worth no more than that of any
other lawyer. We have already pub
lished a decision, rendered by Judge
Carey, of Baltimore, that the law went
into operation on the % of March. The
amendatory bill spoken of above admits
that the law did go into effect at this lat.
er date, and extends the time allowed
to the bankrupts who pay less than fifty
per CEN of their debts to the lst ofJune.
If the law already provided for this,
there would be no necessity for a new
act to accomplish the same object. Per-
sons who cannot pay fifty per cent of
their debts would do well to wait until
Congress has taken action upon the sub.
ject bef.re filing their petitions. Other
wise, they may lose the fees and keep
their debts.
