MYSTERIOUS AFFAIE-A Silent Asses
sia-About nine O'Clock last night Robert
/. Bradley. formerly q Metropolitan de-
tcc.ive. at present employed in the Custom
house. was AT o. near the corner Of Erato
and Carondclet streets. IN Collins grocery,
somewhat under the influence Of liquor.
After he left dat locality he got into Ca
ronGelet street ear. in which he remained
until the car stopped AT the corner of Girod
and Carondelct streets, when he fell to the
pavement N enGeavoring to alight. He
then entered Superintendent Badgers
office, where il was discovered that stab
wound had penetrated his left side in the
abdomen.
He was unable to say when or where the
wound was given. Or. Avery happened TO
enter in time, but Bradley would not permit
him to probe the wound. He was so low
that Colonel Badger sent him home IN "a
cab Special Officers Pecora and Smith
were dispatched to the corner to see il they
could not ascertain some particulars. The
ONLY supposition ventuled is that he was
freely conversing about politics. when some
OF his opponents cut him. lie Is the nePuo-
lican nominee for constable Of the First jus
tice Court. DR.. Avery went with him to his
home, No. Az Dryades street, where he dis
covered that the cutting had been Gone
with a narrow blade, penetrating TIE alb
dominal cavity and, perhaps, severing an
intestine. AT midnight it was thought that
the wound would prove fatal, as his body
was quite cold and his pulse feeble.
Colonel Badger and some of his officers
visited Collins grocery between eleven
and twelve o'clock, but asccrtained nothing
more than that Bradley had taken several
drinks with three men at the bar. and that
they had gone away, having him with them.
When Bradley informed Collins that he
vas wounded, he mad large stilletto in his
hand. but left ii On the counter, after which
he took car and went to the corner OF
Girod and Carondelet streets.

wisconsin River Improvement.
BILL PASSED.

The bill for the improvement of the
Wisconsin River, which passed the Senate
some days since, passed the House on the
30th of June, by vote Of 109 to 81.
1t authorizes the Secretary of War to
adopt plan for the completion of the
work; to take all preliminary steps for
securing the entire franchises of the Canal
Company, which are now in their posses
sion, and in fact, places it, SO far as posi-
BILE, in the list Of unfinished government
works, for which appropriations are OBJ
tanned in the general bill. One hundred
thousand dollars has recently been voted
by the House. for this work, in the ap2ro-
priation bill, and the Senate has reported
favorably upon this item.
This is only the first step in the great
work, but as the first step is often the
hardest to take, we confidently hope it
will be speedily followed by others in the
same direction. If the friends Of the
measure will hereafter work together as
they have done in securing this recogni-
milton of their claims, the opening of
steamboat channel from the Mississippi to
the lakes via the Wisconsin and Fox Riv.
ers, may be relied on IS fixed fact
Great praise is due the friends of the
great measure in the Senate and House for
their untiring efforts and success.

Death of Supt. A. y. Craig.

Our readers will be panied to learn that
Hon. A. j. Craig, State Superintendent,
died at Madison on Sunday, July Sd, 1870.
lie had been suffering from an affection OF
the lungs for years, but his great courage
and powerful will kept him up, and he
was able to attend to his duties until with
in few months Of bis decease. Since the
Convention of County Superintendcnts in
February, he has been failing rapidly. lie
appeared in his office the last time on the
22d of June, when he was so weak that he
had to be assisted home. The State Jour.
nal in an able obituary of him says:
"Mr. Craig was devoted christian
Protesting religion many years ago, he
was later troubled with doubts which often
harrass those Of his cast of mind, but
while absent for time in the army ne
seemed to gain new insight into Divine
truth, and from henceforth his faith was
firm and mistaken, and his religious ex-
perience was that Of the earnest and low
ing christian. He connected himself with
the Congregational church and was cho-
sen deacon, and in its social meetings and
otherwise did much to promote the cause
which was dear to his heart, and to cheer
and stimulate others in the christian life.
He was an earnest temperance man and
opponent Of slavery from early fines, and
was always ready to help on moral reforms
and good enterprises.
Mr.. Craig was early married, and leaves
With his widowed consort an unbroken
circle Of eight children to mourn his loss,
to whom he leaves, with not much of
earthly goods, the legacy of an honorable
name and an example which is an inspira-
ton. His many warm friends will sym
pathise deeply with them in their severe
affliction and great loss"

Death of Leonard Greeley.

Tuesday morning, Mr.. Leonard Greeley,
uncle of Horace Greeley, died in the coun-
ty poor house in Shelby, aged II years.
lie came to this city about three weeks
since, from Beaver Falls, Mimi, where he
had been spending some time with son,
and was on his way to the residence of an
other son who lives in Fond du Lac county
in this State. He was taken unwell on
his arrival here, and being nearly out of
funds wrote to bis son to come and take
him home, but received answer from his
son that he was also sick and destitute,
and so the worn and weary old man be-
came public charge and gradually sank
away and died. We understand the au-
thorities have written Horace Greeley,
asking him to defray the expense of his
uncle's INTERCHANGEABLE Crosse Leader.

W The monthly report Of the Com
missioner of Agriculture for May shows
that the average Of winter wheat is nearly
five per cent. behind that of last year,
while the quality of the grain is superior.
Winter barley is about as last year, and
the spring sowing has been increased
Grasses generally are fourishing. Fruits
promise an abundance. The cotton acre
age is materially increased in every state,
and the crop is generally growing WE'LL
Since the returns from which the Commits
sioncr makes up his report were sent in
the weather has been unfavorable in many
localities, and so the report cannot be re-
lied on implicitly. HiA report for the
month of June will be of more value, as it
will probaly give with considerable accu-
racy the condition Of the crops at the pres
ent time, which will be decisive, as the
wheat crop will not be likely to change
much after this month, either for better
or worse.

B6E~ We find the following in regard to
tie Congressional campaign in this dis
trict in an editorial correspondence Of the
Eau Claire Free Press:
"The Congressional canvass in Grant
county bids fair to be exciting, and it seems
to be expected that Cobb's successor will
come from this county if the people are
but united. The contest in the county is
between Senator Hazelton of Boscobel, and
J. Allen Barber of Lancaster. The news
papers of the county, all Republican, the
Grant County Herald and the Boscobel
paper, support Mr.. Hazelton the Platte.
vile Witness, Mr.. Barber. travelled
through a considerable portion of the
county, and Judging from what saw and
heard should say that Mr.. Hazelton would
have four out Of the five Assembly Dis
tricts. Mr.. Cobb, through the Mineral
Point Tribune, is fighting Hazelton with
all his might, while the Dodgeville Chron.
icle, in the same county, a newspaper OF
considerable influence, sustains him. Min
eral Point has long been known as the
head center of "rings" which have dlcta-
ted the politics and the distribution of the
''loaves and fishes" of the district; first,
while the Democratic party was in power !;
and second, after the Republicans gained
the ascendency a new ''ring" of another
color was organized, which in executive
capacity loses nothing in lustre as COM
pared with it's Democratic predecessor
headed by Hon. Nose Strong. If Hazel
ton wins, the "ring," it is said will be
"busted."

INDIAN AFrMRs.-A Washington dis
patch to the Chicago Times says: "The
probability of an Indian war has been very
much strengthened by the reception of
dispatches from Gen. Sheridan announ-
cling that considerable bodies of Indians
are moving across the Union Pacific track
between Cheyenne and Wasatch. Troops
have been sent in pursuit of them at Raw
lngs and other points. General Sheridan
advises that the line of the road be guard.
cd by judicious dispositions of infantry,
and probably reinforce General Augur's
command with the 18th regiment. The
Sioux 10 the vicinity of Fort Fettcrman
have committed depredations since Red
Clouds return. These and other facts
lead the officers Of the army to believe
thata general Indian war is imminent. y
Meantime, General Sheridan's report OF
his tour OF inspection through the Indian
country is that the military posts are
very weak, and are poorly garrisoned, and
are not sufficiently strong to quell an In.
dian war. An illustration of the style of
savage warfare is furnished by recent
occurrence at Smith Pass, Wyoming: A
party out in pursuit Of stolen horses found
the bodies of DR.. Bard, Harry Morgan and
Mr.. Mason, they having been tortured to
death by the Indians. Morgan was scalp
ed, the king bolt of a wagon driven
through his head and the tendons down
his spine taken out for bow strings.

WHEAT IN MIcHIGAN.--The Detroit Post
after gathering statistics from various Sec
tons of that State relative to the wheat
crop, says The yield of wheat to the acre
is below the average but the breadth sown
is larger, which is greatly due to the cult
walton of new lands. There is still large
surplusage Of last years wheat remaining
in the hands of the farmers so that the
marketable product will be quite equal to
that of last year. The quality is far supe.
rior to that ofthe previous year, and prob.
ably better than that of the average crop.
