TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-The Texas Jef-
fersonian says that man named Middle
tGn ven.rset TWO years, had been on a
spree for several weeks, but suddenly de
termined to stop drinking. Abstaining
from stimulants, he was seized with de
lirium tremens, fastened himself up in q
room of an auction house, and remained
there several days without food. lie
became raying maniac, and threatened
to kill any one who should enter the
room. One Of the propretors of the
house called on Capt J. NJ. Thomas,
chief of the city police, and requested to
have the man removed.
Near midnight another gentleman came
to Capt. Thomas and urged the removal
Of Middleton, as it was feared he would
set tho house on fire in his madness.
Thomas took two policemen and went
to the building, but Middleton had a re-
volver and threatened to kill any one
who entered the room, stating at the same
time that he liked Thomas. The later
threw in cat and dog in hopes of get
ting him to employ his pistol Mt them,
but he would not fire. Mr.. 0elavan, who
was intimate with Middleton, came up
and attempted to persuade Middleton to
come ont The latter told Delavan he
did not wish to injure him, but would
Ill him ifhe attempted to enter the room.
Eelav..n finally forced the door oper,
Midd,,ton hursted cap at him, Delavan
ran up and seized him, but at that mo-
mcnt the maniac hH.'ed and shot him
through the heart. Thomas Fusneo lh'
and Middleton shot him taroug" 'ne
shoulder and knocked him down. WOOD
and Wilson, two policemen, ran in, and
Middleton snapped his pistol at one and
shot the other Both returned the fire,
and Middleton fell dead.
The death of both Delevan and Mid.
dleton is much regretted, especially the
former, who lost his life in attempting
to perform kindness.

A TRIAL OF STRENGTH. recent
contest in Ohio for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor was a trial Of
strength between the San Domingo party
and the oiiiceholders on one side, and the
Independent press on the ether.
President Grant and the San Domingo
spectators were resolved that Ben. w ade
should be the candidate for Governor.
The independent press were for Gen.
Noyes; and when the Convention met,
Ben Wade was so powerles in it that he
had to withdraw without ballot, leaving
Noyes to be nominated by acclamation.
Grant, and the ofiiceholders, and the San
Domingo jobbcrs were nowhere. The
independent press had cleared them all
out Of the field
just so it will be next year, when the
Republican candidate for the Presidency
comes to be nominated Grant hopes to
be the man, and all the ofllceholders and
the San Domingo spectators encourage
him; but the independent press puts in
its veto. Grant will retire--if he is wise
he will not wait for ballot--to obscuri
ty, and some man ht to be President will
be nominated in his steady \. Sun.

.Jrsr WHAT He WASrEp-We arc in.

JUsr WHAT He WANTED.-We are in
formed that Judge Ham says our pitch
ing into him, Bard, Little and Collier is
lust what he wanted, as it will now give
him an opportunity to get the State print
ing away from us, inasmuch as it is pitch
ing into Hadicy's friends. Well, we don't
see what q personal matter between the
above CLIQUE and ourself has to do with
Gov Hadley They do not claim to have
been pitched into because Of being Had
ley's friends, still this accidental judge,
this pink Of perfection, who said at one
time that we were "a Id fool for sup
porting Clayton, as he was dead duck, p"
this man now says our head must roll
into the basket because they are friends
of the Governor, and they expect his ex-
cellency to act upon the principle love
me, love my dog" Now, we know of
no reason why we should not love the
Governor. In fact we have great respect
for him as a man and confidence in him
as the chief executive officer OF the State.
But is that any reason why we should
profess undying affection for the cur that
recognizes him rs master? Or if that cui
should snap and growl at us, and We
should say get out" and spurn it with
our foot, is Governor Hadley 10 swcal
eternal enmity toward us because We did
not stand quietly and let his dog bite
We must admit, however, that we have ;
much better opinion of our Governor
than the character and conduct of hi
self styled friends and champions in this
county would warrant us in forming, /
We were assured they were Of the Gov
ernor's own selection. SO drive on, Mr.
Ham; if we lose the State printing foI
anything we have said concerning your
self, Bard, Little, or Collier, it is no
worth retaining Mountain Echo.
