We GIVE BELOW a provision of the
law of March 9th, 1866, which may
interest our county Commissioners
We believe it has not been the Gus
tom with them, until very recently,
to advertise for bids for bridge or
other building contracts except by
sending out circulars, which hardly
fills the law, and would render any
appropriations to pay for contracts
illegal and void. The Legislators
well knew that the interests of the
people would not suffer by giving
general publicity to the intentions
of the county, and inviting compe-
ton. Let The law be enforced:
aSec. 2. That the county Com
missioners of any county, shall not
make, suffer or cause to be made,
any purchase or contract for any
outlay of money for, or on behalf Of,
their county, the estimated value of
the expense of which shall exceed
five hundred dollars, without first
causing twenty days notice to be
given in one or more newspapers of
general circulation in the county,
that proposals will be received for
the performance of any job or work,
or for furnishing any goods, wares,
merchandise or materials for said
county; and the said county Com
missioners shall make, or cause to be
made, such purchase or contract
with the lowest responsible bidder,
upon such person or persons giving
bond to the county, with security to
be approved by the county Commits
sioners, that the work will be faith
fully performed, and the goods,
wares, merchandise or materials will
be honestly delivered according to
contract, and in case of the failure
on the part of such person within a
reasonable time as may be fixed by
the Commissioners, to enter into
bond with the security aforesaid,
then the said purchase or contract
may be made with the next lowest
responsible bidder, upon the same
conditions and limitations, and so
on, until the purchase or contract is
made with the person or persons
who will undertake the same, giving
bond and security therefor, at the
lowest price, and in the best man
ner. Provided further, that
all contracts or purchases entered
into in contravention of the proyis-
ions Of this section shall, as against
the county, he utterly null and
void"

LOUISVILLE, June 26.-Special dispatches to
the New Albany, Indiana, Ledger Of shis af-
ternoon give an account of diabolical out
rage in New Orleans, Lawrence county, Indi-
ana, yesterday. A party Of assassins attacked
the house of the Moody family, consisting of
four old bachelor brothers, Mrs. Gollive-, their
sister, and hired man named Lee. They
threw their jugs Of benzine into the rooms oc-
eupied by the family, and then threw In sew
eral large torpedoes loaded with buckshot,
nails, screws and similar missiles The tor
pedoes exploded and set fire to the benzine
and aroused the family, when the assailants
commenced firing with revolvers into the
doors and windows. Mr.. Thomas Moody was
shot in the hip, the ball ranging upward
through the body, and coming out OF the up
per portion Of the breast. Lee received a Sc
we're wound in the thigh and another in the
back. Mrs. Golliver was terribly burned with
benzine and torpedoes. The assassins escaped.
The community is greatly excited. Ten
thousand dollars has been raised to prosecute
the guilty parties. Detectives are busy in
feTeting them out. The people are almost
wild to discover the assassins, and threats Of
lynching are heard on every hand, bat it is
believed prudent counsels will prevail. At
three this afternoon Mr.. Moody's recovery
was reported hopeless. Mr.. Lees very doubt
full. 1t is understood that Moody's statement
of the affair is reduced to writing, and that he
recognized several of the attacking party.

Settling the NEW Northwest.

~~-S +NCNh WI ~ " Na7ss
The claim made by the promoters
of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
as to the excellent character Of the
country traversed by that thorough
fare, seems to be verified by the fact
that settlers are moving to the line
of the road in Minnesota and Eas-
tern Dakota in unprecedented num-
bers. A late number of the st. Paul
Pioneer says
3The roads leading to the Red RiY-
er valley are literally covered with
emigrant wagons, with their usual
accompaniments Of families, furni-
ture, and stock of all kinds, The
wagon roads from Sauk Centre to
st. Peter show daily accessions to
the vast caravan vending its way to
fertil regions of Northern Minnesota.
The extent of the great incoming
tide of humanity can be best estima-
ted on the main road between Alex
andria and Pomme de Terre. Two
hundred wagons per day pass over
this portion Of the route northwest
and the camp-fres are seldom allow
ed to go out-a fresh train of emf
grants arrives almost as soon as its
predecessor has resumed its march.
A noticeable feature of this year, s
emigration is its quality-the wag-
ons come loaded with household
goods and farming implements, and
are followed by herds of cattle and
other stock which in quality would
do credit to any country"

assistant superintendent, Mr.. Coles. explained
in two words the secret of teaching delirious
patients-humor them. Every tune you op-
pose a crazy map you just strengthen the hold

soon gets quiet. He related his experience
with q big, strong fellow weighing $50 pounds,
who came in late, mad az March hare, with
delirium tremens, and who was to be got up
stairs. Force would not do, but after he had
played circus clown uproariously for q time,
standing on a chair, he became disguised with
his small stage. "Why, a fellow can't turn
round here" he said. ''Then was my time, =

FRE.-About 10 o'clock last evening the
store No. 70 Middle street, in the Fox block,
occupied as the office Of Fosters dye house
and by Mr.. J. P. Skillin, furnishing goods.
was discovered to be on fire inside. The alarm
brought the fire department to the spot and so
active were the firemen and SO copious the
streams Of water poured into the building that
the flames were quickly subdued, and the fire
prevented from extending to the adjoining ten
ement, the next one of which was occupied by
Messrs. Halves & Cragin, music dealers. The
fire originated, in what manner cannot be as
certained, under the counter OF that part of the
store occupied by Mr.. Skillin. His stock was
ruined by fire and water. He had insurance
for $500 in the Franklin office, Philadelphia
at the agency of Rollins s. Adams, which he
says will not more than cover his loss On
the dye.house side of the store some garments
which had been left there were destroyed, but
the most Of the articles were uninjured. Gus
toners are requested to call at the dye-bOuse,
No. "a Union street, where they will ascertain
if their articles are safe.
