Forty years ago, Illinois was as far west as
most people wished to go and journeys were
made in the legendary Prairie Schooner but

AFRONTIER HORROR.
A Man Leaves to Go in Search of Drink
His Lonely Wife and Little Ones
Frozen to Death.


The La Crosse (Wis.) Daily ReprbH-
can, Jan. 6, says: A few. years ago a
man was living with his Young wife in
Mankato, Mimi. He was intelligent and
successful in business, until the passion
for drink enslaved him and his business
and reputation were both wrecked by
its satanic influence. He was forced to
seek new home for his little family.

the removal from temptation would free
him from fine grin of the habit which
cursed him. Here they lived for sever
al years, his abstinence from drink be-
ing broken only by an infrequent and
occasional debauch when lie visited
some of the nearest towns. E,rlv i'm

ELECTION OF SENATOR.

At u o'clo 4 on Wednesday the
Senate and House met in joint con
vention and proceeded to the cleo
ton of United States Senator.
The roll of the two houses was
called and all Republican Senators
voted for John Sherman except
Gage, of Hancock who voted for
Schenck, all the Republicans in the
House voted for Sherman except
Falls of Hamilton, who voted for.
Perry.
Powell independently voted for
Cox. The Democrats voted for
George W. Morgan. The vote then
stood-Sherman rs, Morgan Ga,
Perry l, Schenck l, Cox /. -Four
Democrats, led by Calleri of Mercer,
then changed their votes for Cox.
Lieutenant Governor Mueller then
announced the vote-Sherman 13,
Morgan 80, Cox 3, Perry l, Schenck
L. John Sherman having received
a majority of all the votes cast, was
declared duly elected Senator for
six years from the 4th of March,
1873. -, b. vf
This is very gratifying result to
the great majority of Republicans
throughout the State. Mr.. Sherman
had no strong opposers except some
few personal enemies, and the de-
feated office seekers. He has served
the State too long and too well to
becast off inhis best days. Faithfully
has he done his duty, with great
credit to himself and honor to our
State, attaining to the leadership in
the Senate and the chairnanship of
its most important committee No
man is more feared. by the oPpoSi-
ton to-day than John Sherman.
They confess he has and can do
them more harm than any man in
our ranks. No man will do more
to uphold the credit of his country,
discourage Democratic repudiations
and dishonor, than he. He is a
strong supporter of the Admins
tration, and his influence will be
nightly felt in the coming Presi-
dental campaign. Ohio may well
be proud of her Statesmen in Con
gress. '.,t f.ll -It .t-ial- .'1af

MINING ACCIDENT.

Mining accidents are becoming
alarmingly frequent in Great Brit
ain. 1t has been popularity sup
posed that the United States had
the monopoly of this class of casu-
alities, but England and Wales have
furnished the world with a great
number from fire7damp and impure
air during the past few years. The
last which is reported is serious ca
lamity by an explosion Of fire-damp
in the Oakwood Colliery, Wales, by
which many lives were lost. The
bodies of eleven victims, portion
of the whole number, have been re-
covered. Either science is at fault
with its appliances, or the cupidity
of proprietors neglects the proper
precautions.

THE TAX ON MATCHES,

In the reduction of taxes by the
Ways and Means Committee, the
chances are that the bill of Monroe
of Ohio, abolish the tax on matches
will be agreed to. The chief argu-
ment made by Mr.. Monroe is that
it will reach a large class of consum-
ers Of moderate means, and also
enable small manufacturers to begin
work again. The latter have been
shut out since heavy manufacturers
can afford to buy the required
stamps in'large sums, and so realize
fair per cent. from the reductions
allowed by law.

FIVE HUNDRED AGAINST TWO.

4 most exciting occurrencetoek place
in Long Island City on Friday after
noon, which for a time made it probable
that tragedy would follow. 1t seems
that few days before Christmas sneak
thieves visited Astora, and after steal
ing from number of stores, brought
up in McCauiey's clothing house, where
they made quite haul, taking pants,
coats and other clothing, during the
absence of McCauley and his clerks in
the back room. On Friday they again
made their appearance at the same place,
and, although i'm disguise, were reees-
nizeG by one of the clerks, who hast
ened out to notify Mr.. McCauley. Du-
ring his absence the two thieves secre-
ted about their person two pairs of
pants each. On Mr.. McCauley's return,
his second loss was ascertained. He
Immediately ran to stable, jumped
upon a barebacked horse, and arming
himself with shotgun. started in pur-
suit. Others followed, and by the time
they had arrived at the station-house a
dozen horsemen had joined the caval-
cade, and from thirty to forty on foot.
The entire available police force also
joined the army nearly every one armed
with some kind of 4 weapon. At this
time the thieves were discovered on the
opposite side of Sunswick Greek, they
having crossed by some unaccountable
means. If pursuit were made by way
of the bridge, the thieves had at least
a mile and a half start; yet they were
within gunshot of the party, and a flls-
ilade was Immediately commenced, but
owing to the poor marksmen, the thieves
we're iii little danger. S '''
At this juHcture the party divided
some of the horsemen going the route
by Sunswick bridge, while the remain
der took the Dutch Kills road. Those
of the footmen who did not follow the
liorseinen forded amid the floating ice.
As,thel party neared Dutch Kills the
pursuers had increased to full five hun
dred men, either mounted or ON foot,
and the firing constantly kept up on
the fugitives seemed like the filefiring
of a regiment. The thieves had now
reached Dutch Kills, where the entire
community seemed to be out of doors.
OF course the fugitives were soon lost
in the crowd, and a close search was
foundo necessary to be- made through
every house and barn. Everything
which would interfere with the officers
was thrown in the way by the female
portion OF the community, and it was
feared the men would e. ape. One OF
the men had been wou? led, as blood
was tracked along the gfC nd. Finally
officer McManus pulled : tf the men
from the hayloft of the stable of Mr..
MeDonnelly, and upon him were found
the pants stolen by him at the first raid.
Nothing could be found of the other
man, although he was wounded, and ii
is supposed dangerously. The officers
searched for him, but in vain. 1t is
supposed he is concealed in some, of the
houses .-Neacdrk Courier.

SHERMAN REELECTED SENATOR.

On Wednesday of last week, the
Ohio Legislature did itself great
honor by re electing Hon. John
Sherman as Senator from Ohio. OF
course this is due alone to the har-
mony existing In the Republican
ranks at Columbus. The Denocra-
cy tried every possible means by.
which they hoped to draw, off some
Republicans and thus defeat, Mr..
Sherman. But no go, the Republi
can members were not in for max
ing any New Departures and so
the poor fellows had to come down
and Mr.. Sherman was triumphant
ly re-elected,as he should have
been. .,..

REFUSED MARTIAL LAW.

The President has refused to pro-
claim martial law in New Orleans,
and notifies Mayor Flanders, who
asked for military intervention, that
"no assistance will be given by Fed
eral authorities to persons and par
ties unlawfully resisting the author
tiles Of the State" This is per-
fectly proper answer under the Cir
'cumstances, though it leaves the
warning factions uncertain which
side the President favors, for each

State" and denounces the other side
rs ''usurpers."

CONGRESSIONAL.

A large number of resolutions
were presented in the Senate rela-
tive to the reduction of the tariff and
the repeal of the protective duties
on salt, iron and coal during the
last week. On Thursday the joint
resolution of Mr.. Sumner proposing
q constitutional amendment to limit
tile service of the President to one
term, was taken up-Mr. Conkling
addressed the Senate, arguing
against any such amendment. He
claimed that the country is ON the
eve of civil service reform, that this
proposition is simply an expedient
to effect the reelection of Grant.
Mr.. Sumner replied that ne was con-
scientious in introducing this prop
osition. He further said that its
object was to guard against tempta-
ton SO that the President shall not be
placed in position where he may

ENCOURAGING.

The Pittsburg Gazette says
Trade was never better in this city
than it is now. Our manufacturers
are nearly all running double turns,
being unusually hard pressed with
orders for their respective commod-
tiles, and, of course, briskness and
activity in the heavier lines of bus
mess have good and bracing effect
on'the retail trade. Altogether the
present year promisesto prove oiic
of the most prosperous,moncy max
ing terms we have ever enjoyed.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON-

The National Republican Conven-
ton will be held on the fifth of
June, in Philadelphia. This will
afford five months for the Prsiden-
tial canvass, which is less time than
was devoted to LINcoLN's second
candidacy. 1t is enough, however.
1t will have the effect of making
the campaign particularly active,
and will thus keep the people
thoroughly alive during the summer
months. We presume the Demo
Gratis will hold their Convention a
little later. -

VERY FUNNY.

The Plain Dealer is making itself
slightly ridiculous. One day, like
a mad school boy, it endeavors to
make up faces at Lieutenant Cover
nor Mueller for having observed
parliamentary rules, and blocked
the nice game of the Democratic
members to change vote en- masse
from Morgan to Cox, hoping there
by to induce sufficient number of
Republicans to change also to defeat
Mr., Sherman. The next day the
P D. endeavors to laugh at our
worthy Lieutenant Governor on ac-
count of his ''sweet German accent" +"

member the old saying-"Let those
