JOHN OOVODE.
Tho Reason Why u. Never fors~o the Dsmoera

Tho following, concerning the ole
rascal, told by Washington CORES
pondent, is pretty good:
One day, early in the session, Co
vodo told one Of his friends that ther,
was good deal of whisky drank il
that room. His friend seemed pcr
fectly indifferent to the information
merely answering, al s'poso So
f"Well," said CovoJc, ~ don't much
object to the boys drinking all they
want, but don't want them to walk
off with il in wholesale. I'm not am
bilious to okoep Wholesale establish
ment.. A fair retail business is all ]
care for. eThey may como here, Il
they're our friends, and drink az
much as they want, but Ldon't want
them to steal it. / don't want them
TO take bottle to day, a demjohn TO-
morrow, and keg the next day.
"Have q new lock put on your
washstand, then"
"That's good idca," said Uncle
John, dts wonder | hadn't thought
of il before"
So a new lock was put on the wash
stand-a large rosewood case with
doors in front aud q marble top. This
would hold small keg Of whisky
two or three demijohns, or couple
of dozen bottles. The new lock did
not seem to work very satisfactorily
A day or two after it was adjusted
the whole store, about dozen strong
was taken. A few days after the
lock was changed again; no use
moro whisky gone mystcriously,
Finally, very intricate and compli
Gated lock was put on. Then the
robbery was to stop sure. The very
next night a demijohn disappeared.
1t was but natural that by this
time Uncle John became little dis
couraged and unhappy. Still, he
could not give up the luxury and sat
isfaction Of having something nice
about him all the time. 1t was pleas
ant TO give friend drink once in O
while, and II was sociablo, and finally
he got mad and swore he would be
doggoncd if he wouldn't keep a little
of the stuff in his room, and he would
be doggonee'd If he would allow any.
body TO steal it, either. SO he set a
trap. A new stock had arrived tina,
day, and be put it in the washstand
as usual. After the house adjourned,
he concealed himself in the room, and
waited. He did not have to wait
long. He heard two pairs of feet tip
tocing up TO the door. lie laid low

TANNING BUFFALoEs. Much interest
is now felt in some parts of tho West
on the subject of domesticating buifa-
loes, and tho opinion is generally en-
tertained in stook-raising districts that
an important and permanent increase
of the meat supply of the country may
be affected by this means, with great
profit TO those undertaking the expe-
riment. 1t has been found by those
who have made the trial that the buff
falo or bison will futten under oondi-
tions fatal to ordinary domestic stock ;
that il is worth more in hide and flesh
than the OK, and can be trained to the
performance Of any kind of labor for
which oxen are adapted. 1t is neces-
sary, however, that calves should be
obtained for the purpose. The old
buffaloes cannot be domesticated, and
their flesh is so tough as to be unfit
for meat but the old ones are very
much in the way when the calves are
to be captured. They are kept in the
centre Of the droves, and in case of
danger, the bulls flank tho herd. To
capture them, therefore it is necessary
to break through tho ranks Of tho
flankers and lasso the heifers, which is
q difficult and dangerous operation,
considering the fact that the herd
sometimes covers a very wide extent
of territory. No way has yet been
devised OF capturing the calves that

A COMPLETE LIE.--A special dis
patch to tho Pittsburgh Commercial
announces that the nomination Of Mr.,
Buckalew creates great dissatisfaction
in Philadelphia, and in pretended proo'
of this quotes the Sunday Transcript
as Democratic newspaper. The
truths are, first, that no nomination
was ever so we'll received in Pennsyl
vania, and, second, that the Trdnscrip
is not now and never was q Demo
cratic newspaper. That dispatch wa
evidently manufactured by the fright

IN THE BRIGHTER DAYS TO COME.
In the brighter days to come,
We shall forget the gloom
That falls around the weary heart
Like shadows Of the tomb.
The sunshine then will brightly fall
Upon life's golden store,
And cares that throng our pathway now
Will come to US no more.
1t Is the dream of brighter hours
That cheers our hearts to-day, a,r 81,
When roses blushing through the thorns,

started out for Scufletown, the capital Of the

Iowery was armed with Spencer rifle and

until he got opposite where the young men were

made IN crossing the road de now seemed

their pieces at him simultaneously. Each of the
four shots took effect, and, utterng yell Of ter

and ran about fifty yards when he fell in the
agony OF death. But he did not die withou
trying TO avenge himself The struggle wa
prolonged while life lasted. As the Young men
approached him he attempted to draw a pistol
but was too weak to do so. One hand was
clutched so firmly about his gun that il was with
difficulty his fingers could be unclasped. On his
body was found a gold watch, the property of
Mr.. John McNar. The body was imme iiately
seized and carried on the shoulders of the party
to the public road, about q half mile distant,
where passing wagon was pressed into service
and the body was carried TO LumbertOn and
delivered to the Sheriff.
THE BODY IDENTIFIED AND THE REWARD PAID.
Ii was fully identified that of Tom
Iowery and was delivered to his wife, who was
sent for by the Sheriff. IL was inferred by his
friends at two O'Clock on Saturday somewhere
in the classic precincts of Scuffietown. The
same day the Sheriff paid over to the Wisharts
and their companions the reward offered by the
county, which was, 81 900. There is also state
reward of 5000, which they will probably soon
receive. stephen Lowery and Andrew Strong
are the only two of the gang now remaining,
and it is thought they will soon meet with q
similar fate.
