The MOST WONDERFUL VRLoCIPEDE EX-
PLOT ON RECoRD.-On Saturday evening
there was quite large number gathered in
Professor Growers velocipede hall Tin the
third story of Ayers Block) to witness the
proficiency and skill Of the Professors pu
pills on the wooden horse. Il appears that
few Of the Professors most advanced
scholars have been practicing on an inclined
plane, which has heretofore been placed on
the south side Of the room, but in cleaning
the hall in the afternoon the decline part
hadsbeen removed, and the incline part
wasmoved close to the east side Of the hall,
30 that the highest part rested on window
sill, the window having been removed in
the afternoon.
Several of the new beginners had been
showing their skill in riding round the
room, and when Mr.. Dunlap came into the
hall he vas called upon to ride, and imme-
distely complied, mounted the machine,
and away he went at lightning speed around
the hall. As soon as he had got the veloci-
pede up to full speed, he went straight for
the incline plane, (an who were posted in
the movement Of the plane supposed that
MIR. Dunlap knew Of the change, and was
only trying "some new-trick," but, as
the sequel shows, he was entirely ignorant
of the change,) up he went like bird,
and did not discover his mistake until
it was too late. Away he went, through
the window, like flash, and disappeared!
All stood spell-bound for second, and
then rushed to the windows, expecting
to see his mangled body on the ground
below. But he was not "born to die" in
that way, for the speed at which he was
going carried him across an alley ten feet
wide, and he alighted fright side up" on
Carter, Beesley & Co.'s drug store, two
story building with a very Rteep roof;
down their roof and over the edge he went,
sailing on to the roof Of Ayers bank,
where he managed to fall off his machine
in time to save himself from going over to
the ground. AS soon as possible he sprang
to his feet, swung his hat, and gave three
cheers, which were responded to with
will by the excited crowd, which filled all
the windows of the hall, and had watched
his descent with silent horror.
Mr.. Dunlap thinks he is entitled to the
champion medal as the most daring velo-
cipede rider in this section of country.

A WooD-SAwYER FALLS HEIR TO FIVE
MILLION DoLLARs.-The Dubuque Qowa)
Times of March 25th tells this story:
Three years ago there resided in this
city q sum burned, hard listed, industrious
man, named Adolph Gull, who earned the
food required for the consumption of him
self, wife, and family Of seven children, by
saving wood from door to door. But little
was known of his early history beyond the
fact that he was an exile from Poland, Eu-
rope-an item of information which he i'm
parted to one or two personal friends, with
the further statement that he had relatives
living there who were very wealthy, and
might place him above want, If 80 disposed.
During the internal feuds and tyrannical
government which oppressed that happy
land he, with number of others, determined
to emigrate and seek relief on the shores of
free America. After safe and prosperous
VOYAGE the party landed in New Y ork, from
which point MIR. Gull continued his journey
West until he came to Dubuque, where ne
rented a cheap tenement on Washington
street, and settled down to the business We
have before stated.
How long Mr.. Gull would have remained
in this city following his humble employ
ment, and congregating with othecs Of his
class on Seventh street, VIC do not know had
it not been for the liberality manifested by
Uncle Sam. In 1866 Mr.. GulPs attention
was turned to the homesteads offered by the
General Government to all actual settlers
in the western frontiers of our State. After
revolving the matter over, he resolved to
avail himself Of the benefits Of SO humane
a provision, and ainging his buck and saw "
goods. bade adieu to his comrades, and, with
his family, started for the fields Of promise.
He was fortunate in procuring good loca-
tom within twelve miles Of Fort Dodge,
and soon had nice patch Of ground under
the pillow. Here hskworked and toiled
month ,aftsr month, and was gradually be-
coming Independent in circumstances
through his own exertions, when oil at

A Man IN PEDLER's PACK.-A short
time since, just at dark, pedler carrying
large pack appeared at the door Of
wealthy farmer in the town of Green Gar
den, in this county, and requested the
privilege of remaining overnight. The
farmer being away from home, he was in
formed by the hired man that he could not
stay. He then requested the privilege Of
leaving his pack until morning, as he was
very tired and could not carry it further
that night. This was granted, and the
pack deposited in one corner of the sitting
room. During the evening some Of the
females of the household had occasion to
move it, and, taking hold of it, discovered
that there was something suspicious about
the contents. The hired man was called,
and upon taking hold of it found that
it contained man. He quickly stepped
ing with revolver, motioned the family
to stand aside, and at once proceeded to
fire three shots into it. A piercing shrek
issued from it, and on ripping off the out
side covering a man with large Bowie
knife and revolver clinched in his hands
was found weltering in his blood. Two of
the shots had proved fatal. The neighbors
were alarmed, but no traces Of the pedler
who left the precious pack could be found.
Thus, by q mere accident, doubtless o
shocking case of robbery, and perhaps
murder, was prevented. 1t was doubtless
plot to rob the farmer, as it was known
that he had large sum of money in the
house. An inquest was held over the body
on the following morning, and the verdict
was that the killing was justifable homi-
eide. No clue leading to the discovery Of
the name of the victim, or his accomplioe,
has as yet been ascertained. Such sum-
mary justice is seldom melted out to the
guilty.-JoHet (IA.l Signal.

once the tickle goddess Fortune came TO bus

On the 18th instant he was called to Fort
Dodge on business, and on inquiring st the
post-ofhce found q letter, directed to his sd-
dress, from the old country, which had evil
IDENTIFY been awaiting his order for some
daye. Mr.. Gull took it out, glanced at the
superscription intently, and remarked that
at last some Of the folks had concluded to
write to him, opened the document, and
commenced to read. he had not devoured
more than half dozen lines before he
uttered g loud yell, and commenced to dance
around in manner absolutely inexplicable
to the bystanders, who thought that the
man had suddenly become insane. After
the first surprise was over, Mr.. Gull be-
came more rational, and informed the spec
tators that he was no longer poor, plod-
ding farmer, but millionaire, by the de-
cease Of an uncle in Poland, who had willed
to him his entire property, amounting to
S5,000,O00, which was now awaiting his
disposal. All this and much more the let
ter contained. -
To make long story short, Mr.. Gull sold
his farm the next week, and is now on his
way to the old country to take possession Of
his property, passing through Dubuque last
Monday evening. We have only to add We
hope he will be successful and find every
thing all right. But who would have sup

Lvnchb,rg, Va, April 8. Gentlemen, The
honor which you have done me, by pro-
posing 10 welcome my return to my native
State by complimentary dinner, has been
most gratifying to my feelings, and had my
return taken place under more happy
auspices, it would have afforded me great
pleasure to accept your invitation but in
view Of the condition Of our unfortunate
country, and for reasons which am sure
you will understand without particular
specification Of them, am constrained to
decline the proposed entertainment. In
doing SO, desire to express to you my most
heartfelt thanks for the cordial greeting
you have given me, individually and col
lectivdy, and to assure you that neither in
wanderings abroad, nor on my return, have
seen any cause to abste in attachment to
the land of my birth, or to waver in devo-
ton to the principles which actuated us in
our late struggle for all that was dear.
1t isithe hour Of defeat and adversely
that reilly tries the hearts and souls of
men, ad those who shall have passed
through all its temptations without an
abandonment Of honor or principle will
be entitled in the end to be regarded as the
true heroes of our cause.
TGy truly and respectfully yours,
