tragedy occurred at house kept by Lot
tie Morton and Virginia Dee, in Little

and it is well to take inwardly weak
solution of soda water. This is good
antidote for poisons. Opposite our ranch
on Kern River, few years since, was an
Indian lodge. At one time, a squaw
ran down to the rivers edge shrieking,
with uplifted hands, "Be-hoa, Be-hoa /"
One of our sons heard the moan, and,
supposing that snake had struck its
fangs into some poor Indian, he imme-
diately shot fowl and plunged across
the deep river, where he found small
boy with a swollen thigh, crying with
pain, he opened the chicken, and bound
it with the entrails upon the wound,
which relieved the "poose" at once, and
he recovered.

NOIth Carolina.

The returns from the North Carolina cleo
ton at last settled down into the choice of
the Republican State ticket by something
over a thousand majority. The legislature
is probably Democratic, and FIVE of the
eight memters of Congress are of the came
political complexion,
This is Republican gainlof over 5000 in
the popular vote since the last State election,
two years ago. The Democratic majority
in the legislature is much smaller than it
was then, and the Republicans gain one
member of Congress. The Democratic ro-
ioicing over the first returns has changed to
sadness, and the coalition don't care to talk
about North Carolina. The Republicans in
many places have fired salutes to express
their satisfaction at the result, and in other
places they have taken the cheaper method
Of thanking the Democrats for the powder
they burnt when the returns began TO come
in
So far asl this result has any prophetic
value, it is certainly an indication that the

them:
Friends and fellow-citzens [ am touched

and beg to thank you from my heart. In
seeing you on this occasion think of YOU
only as personal friends, among whom have
lived more than twenty years. During this
considerable period, changes have occurred of

especially to the cOlored people. When |

was in the ascendant, giving the law TO ali
the usages of life. The colored man, though
not slave, was degraded He was nor
allowed to testify in court, he was shut out
from the public schools, he was excluded
from the public conveyances, and thrust
away from the ballot box. But, here in the
national capital. all these terrible wrongs
have ceased. The court room, the school

pensioner in Orwell. Vermont, has been
charged and has paid ten dollars to the agent
who procured for him his pension, on the
pretense that Mr.. WILLARD had charged that
amount to the agent for assistance rendered

course, fabrication, as Nh. WILLARD

Several of the letters are of doubtful import
The calling of the convention causes intense

candidates for Senator, writes at some length
expressing somewhat vaguely his purpose o
supporting the Republican State and county
nominations, and favoring Senator Morrill,
reele ction. As to the presidential election
however, he says he shall vote as his oath a.
a freeman and his duty TO the country
require. This can hardly be said to b.
explicit, aud is probably Greeleyism in dis
guise.

has written a letter to the committee il
which he says that be preferred Mr.. Collar
for President, and is not enthusiastic in the
canvass. He does mt think Greeley would
be any improvement on Grant.

The Springfield republican is responsible
for the fo.-owlng: The inhabitants of Bell
ows Falls were nicely fooled on Thursday.
They head special train was coming from
the north and was to stop there, and knowing
that President Grant was in the State thew
took it for granted that 1t was his party. and
turned out with the band and cannon. and
waited the arrival of the expected train. As
soon as 1t came in sight they began firing
the cannon, the band struck up and tbs
crowd commenced cheering Justify for Grant.
The train stopped and out stepped ex-Gov
Smith, W. G. Smith and j. Burnett. the d.
vision superintendents, all looking surprised
at their reception, as it was something nm
usual with them. 1t is needless I saw that
the cannon stopped firing and TIE crowd dis
appeared in short order.
