warned him that another blow after Toohey was
down would end the night In his favor.
ROUND 4a-TO0hey had q sorry looking mug, and
was clearly suffering from the terrible blows on his
body Befnards broken finger was making HIM too
hot for observance OF the rules and although he
had his man whipped, It was evident he could not
patiently wait Tor the sponge. After an exchange
To0hey went down. laughing In Demands face.
Bernard's hacker was heard to declare that he
wanted TOohey whipped, and that II he dropped
down again advised that he be kicked. He did not
care for the money.
ROUND 43.-Toohey was fighting for foul. He
got a singer in and went down. Bernard, exaspe-
rated, and probably willing to end the fight by the
advice OF his hacker, rushed at him and kicked and
struck like young savage. The seconds rushed In
to separate the men, and only succeeded after
rough and tumble tight. Foul was claimed and al
lowed the referee declaring Peter Toohey winner OF
the tight on the f0rty-third round.
The mill lasted Just one hour and forty-flve min
utes The decision OF the referee by all declared
away the substantial fruits Of the victory by sheer
folly
THE RETURN.
But few moments were required 10 remove the
ring appurtenances and get on board the cars for
the return. At Dunleth it ascertained that the
officers were the lookout for the principals OF the
mill, and they were accordingly struggled out Of the
crowd and taken by the nearest route across the Wis
consln line.
ANOTHER MILL.
We understand that arrangements were made In
the evening for another match for BERNARD at $500
side. Both Bernard and Toohey fought with pluck,
and both displayed science, but Bernard IL over
match for To0hey in weight and strength.

Much credit IL de TO Sheriff Sutton anc those un-

their dreadful duty. The arrangements were all
well carried out.
Much sympathy was felt for Hoag though ell,
acknowledge that he Justly deserved mis- fate. He
was pitied however. on account OF hts friends and
his own youth. He was little more than o boy,
being then twenty-oHe years old.
Neubecker, the murdered man, was farmer, re-
turning from market with the proceeds OF his load

night OF the 23d OF February last After conviction

HIM who struck the blow.
Hoag was not quite twenty-one. At fourteen he
ran away from his parents aud enlisted In OF the
worst city regiments of the American army, where
he spent nearly six years. He had more than ordi-
nary mental powers When pleased he looked mild
and amiable, and never had the appearance Of
great criminal such as he confessed himself.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 5.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 5.
AT about liz o'clock last night the
steamboat America ran into the steam
boat United States at Rays Landing
about two miles above Madison, In di-
ana. The America struck the United
States on the starboard, cutting into
her side forward of the steps and sink
ing her to the main deck The United
States had a quantity of petroleum on
her deck, and this took fire at the mo
ment of collision, the flames leaping
along the light woodwork of the vessels
and within 30 seconds of the collision
both boats were enveloped. 1t is sup
posed-but in the terrible excitement
it was impossible to gather facts with
any degree of accuracy--that between
seventy and eighty lives were lost, and
that 80 of the number were women
Mr.. Inskop and wife leaped from the

Major Smith, Paymaster, U. S. A., are
supposed to have persisted. The sur
viving passengers speak in praise of the
GOODNESS and efficiency of the boats of
ficers. W. G. Taylor, clerk of the
America, after securing the books, reg
lister, and valuables, went through the
cabin kicking in the doors of the state
rooms, and this precaution and intrepi-
dity saved the lives of all the Americas
passengers. 1t is said that this boat
might have been saved if, instead of
trying to save the United States, she
had backed out at the moment of the
collision. These steamers were the
largest and finest on the Western waters
They were owned by the same COM
pany, and were to the Ohio what the
Drew and st. John are to the Hudson.
They cost $400, 900 each, and each had
staterooms for $50 passengers. The to-
tai loss, including cargo, is estimated
at 81, 100000.

Further particulars of the steamboat
collision yesterday show larger loss of
life than was at first reported. In
mediately after the collision the United
States was enyeloped in flames, which
instantly communicated to the Ameri-
ca Both steamers were destroyed in
an incredible short space of time
About 70 cabin passengers were on the
United States, more than half of whom
were lost. The reports of the officers
are very conflicting. but as near as can
be learned 45 passengers, including IS
women, and in addition of the officers
and cabin crew, We're lost, while only
4 out of % deck hands are known to be
saved. The accident is attributed to
mistakes in the whistles. The United
States was built at CINCINNATI, cost
$3.50, 900, and was insured for 800, 900.
The America was built in 1867, and cost
S240, 900; insured for s133, 900, princi-
pally in Cincinnati.

Tmg WEDDING FIAsCo.-Therc are some
people in this locality who profess to be
we'll acquainted with Col. Parker, and
give an explanation Of his mysterious dis.
appearance quite different from any that
we have seen stated in the papers as cur
!. rent At Washington. They soy that the
gallant aboriginal has afullblooded squaw,
and family of tone little, two little, three
tle,--nobody knows how many little,-
Indians of his own already. They say
that, though he desired to indulge in the
rather expensive Luxury OF a pale-iace
wife among the other blessings OF civiliza-
ton to which he has accustomed himself,
when git came to the sticking place he
could not screw his courage up to it. He
did not dare to brave the prejudices of his
tribe against marrying a pale face, and
especially dreaded the vengeance OF his
true suuaw's kindred We do not vouch
for the truth of this explanation, but sho'd
not like to stamp it as ON untruth either.
& We have heard very interesting descrip.
lions Of Col. Parkers habits when spend
ing brief seasons with his tribe. At such
time, it is said, he puts off the traces of his
civilized life, md lives and acts inst as the
other Indians do. He divests himself to
the white mans dress, and puts on the
trappiags Of = great Indian chief, with the
feathers, wnr-paint, and all the other &C.
cessories. At such times his civilized
friends would find it difficult to recognize
the gallant chief of the staff, for the whole
man appears to be metamorphosed. His
demeanor partakes of the solemn stolidity
of the Indian, and he is, to all appearance,
nonchalant, lazy, naughty redskin chief
of the true aboriginal type.-Buffalo Com

CouRTsHrP AND Lovk.--In the new play
'sUnder the Chs Light the heroine gives
utterauce to the following: @
X sCourtship Is the text from which the
whole solemn sermon Of married life takes
its theme. As lovers are discontinued and
unhappy, so will they be as wives and
husbands. So as you would be happy oil
the years of your life, listen to the voice
advisingyou.
Let the woman you look upon be wise
or beautiful or bomely. rich or poor, she
has but one thing which she can really
giye,or refase---her heart. Ter beauty,
her wit, her accomplishments, she may
tell to you; but her love is the treasure
without money and without price! She
only asks, in return, that when you look
upon her your eyes shall speak mute de-
votion that when you address her, your
voice shall be gentle, loving, and kind
That you shall not despise her because she
can not understand all at once your vigor-
Gus thoughts and ambitious designs; for,
when misfortune and evil have defeated
your greatest purposes, her love remains
to console you.
You look to the trees for strength and
grandeur-do not despise the, flowers be-
cause their fragrance is all they have tc
give. Remember, love is all woman has
to give-but it is the only earthly thing
that God permits US to carry beyond the
grave.
