shoot him. Laughing scornfully, the
ruffian threw his weight against the
light door, burst it open, and entered
the room--when, quick as thought, the
savage dog sprang forward and fastened
on his neck. The man, astonished at
this sudden attack, attempted to kill the
dog with a knife which he had in his
hand, bnt unsuccessfully, and the power
full animal dragged him to the ground,
still retaining his hold upon his throat.
Stunned at first by this unlooked-for de-

place OF the LIS, where her cries soon
aroused the family. Her tale was rapid
~ told, and the servants were preparing
TO go to the scene of danger, when sud-
denly Mr. II. was missed, and his wife,
almost on the instant, as if struck by n
sudden presentiment, screamed, "NIerci-

him away from his prey, they found the
suspicious of Mrs. L. but too correct: it

dog had done their work, and he was
dead.

refusal. That night he left home, say

with sick neighbor, who lived some
miles distant. It is supposed that he
concealed himself in the woods until
midnight, and then, influenced by an
holy lust, forced an entrance into the
house of r., to violate the person Of

lace.-Augusfd Chronicle and Sentinel
A writer from Newport gets off the
following about the 'long beach," ..This
favorite resort is Just now in all its
glory, and hundreds daily invade Nep-
tunes domains, and toy with the wild
waves. Omnibusses commence running
about 8 in the morning, and from that
time a steady stream of carriages and
pedestrians, from dawn until l o'clock.
when the red flag is run up and the gen
tiemen alone are allowed on the premi-
ses. AS rule, the plebeians are on the
ground first, much to the annoyance of
the aristocracy, when they arrive later,
and some indignation is manifested when
they find the boxes all occupied and are
obliged to wait their turn. But first
come, first served. In the surf all shades
of society are represented, and for O.
time all social distinctions are washed
out. The rich and the poor, gay and
grave, cultivated and uncultivated, COM
bine to make up the scene. The faircst
ladies that yesterday graced the avenue,
and That last night at the Ocean House,
danced to the admiration of every spec
tator, are among them. But what q
change-bare headed, with bare feet,
minus hoops. stays, chignons, rats, ourls
and paniers, and all other aids to femi-
nine beauty, they stand jumping up and
down In the water, looking like so many
lunatlcs. Surely nowhere but on the
beach would our bellies appear before
hundreds of lookers-on in such attire.
Certainly they do not present very
picturesque appearance, with wet clothes
clinging tightly to them and scanty locks
of wet hair dabbing down their shoul-
ders. Really the female head is study
indeed, and ns sit on the beach can
but admire the profusion Of golden locks
as their owners enter the bathing houses;
but, strange to tell, they next appear to
my view, like Samson of old, shorn of it
oil. Naughty men have peered within
these houses while the fair ones were in
the bath, and most wonderful stories
have been told Of their contents"
New York correspondent tells of a
"clean broke" young man, not yet
twenty-sever, who not many years ago
was preaching from provincial pulpit,
and with such eloquenco, boy though he
was, that crowds focked to hear him,
and he was the wonder of the day. Then
away he went to till some higher pulpit,
and for time he had before him q bri-
liant future. But of q sudden he struck
''ile;" it may have been that the parable
OF the wise-foolish virgins had begotten
within his soul wholesome desire to
keep his lamp we'll fed with petroleum
but, at all events, he went into speoula-
tion. doffed the robes, made balloon
ascension, and now has to dodge behind
the Astor House pillars to avoid the law
yers. ~

Grain transportation.

Commenting upon the low price OF
wheat i'm Iowa, the Wisconsin STATE
Journal puts in an argument in favor
Of the Fox and Wisconsin river i'm
provements in this forcible manner:
"Had we steamboat channel from
Prairie du Chen to Green Bay,
wheat could be taken from Missis-
sippi towns to Lake Michigan for ten
cents bushel. We find, on looking
Mt the market reports, that wheat
was worth from twenty-five to forty
cents less at McGregor and other
towns on the Mississippi than it was
in Milwaukee or Chicago on Novem-
ber 18th. This difference, we take
it, represents the cost of transpOrta-
tion. Putting the surplus crop of
wheat i'm Iowa at 20,OO0,OOO bushels,
and ten cents as the highest figure for
river and canal transportation, it
seems fair To say that there would be
a saving Of fifteen cents per bushei in
the transportation Of Iowa wheat to
the lake if we had q canal. II would
be 5000, 900 on this crop, and enough
on return freight to actually save i'm
one year the entire sum necessary to
make the Improvement"

pie organized to resist him, and 800
men appearing in arms forced him
and his party out of the Territory
and on to United States soil for
protection. There, in the woods, re-
mains the party, in a bewildering
state of uncertainty as to the future.
The Governor has sent home for
troops and munitions of war; but as
these can only reach them by cross
ing United States territory, which a
treaty prevents their doing without
the consent Of our Government, it
does not seem likely that Canadian
controlwill be established there very
soon. There are about 10000 people
in the Territory. many of them half
breeds and Indians; aud it is said
that the determination to resist is

Prairie Farmer.
Later reports from the "seat OF
war" say that the insurgents are
chiefly French half-breeds, and that
/ the English half-breeds and whites
take little or no part in the demon
stration. The rebels feed themselves
from the Hudson Bay Company's
storehouses. Fenian priests are said
