A MAN RIrrEx,

has occurred NJ james Corns. residing
near the Falls Of Twelve Pole. on Tuesday
o' last week, was attacked by one OF the
rahid animals, and in spite OF his dcsper-
ate resistance was bitten by the infuriated
beast before he could escape No alarm
ing appearances of the dreadful madness
have rs yet been presented, though all visi-
ble symptoms are indicative OF an imme-
diate attack. Such are the horrible effects
Of tie almost instantaneous circulation OF
this terrible poison, that no remedy can ex-
tricate it from the svslrm. The unfortu.
nate victim is now in state Of deplorable
suspense amounting almost to insanity,
hourly expecting to be thrown into con-
Wilson's. How the irghtiul occurrence
will terminate remains for time To decide,
suffice TO say the chances are ten to one II
the case will not prove fatal. Such in
tense excitement is prevailing, that no one
is considered safe in travelling unless well
armed, aud a. entire annihilation Of the
canine species is threatened. II the entire
race were extinct. no serious dircomtiture
would be realized.

still on, the Decline,

We have more cause at present
TO feel jubilant over the prospect of
affairs than we have had for a long
time. The smallpox is on the de-
cline, and that, too, at an cncour-
aging rate. The prospects now
are that within the next four weeks
we shall nearly or quite rid the city
Of the disease. The churches and
schools will then be opened again,
and our city viii assume its busy
appearance. During the past week
there has been but two new cases
reported, while the number of
deaths has doubled that amount.
There are now confined in Hospital

A;pcna not Alone.

Although smallpox has prevailed
here to an alarming extent, there
is some consolation in knowing
that the disease is not confined to
this particular locality, and in many
places, rs here, has proved disas-
!rous to business interests. The
lowing from an exchange is but
one instance of its presence, and
the havoc it is making:
"rhc smallpox epidemic is Gre
ating grave apprehcnsions in Bos-
ton and vicinity. Three thousand
cases are now reported to exist in
the city, and the PERCENTAGE of
deaths is much larger than by all
other causes combined. Nearly all
buIials are made in the night. The
epidemic has had a serious effect
upon commercial interests gener-
ally.

Tisc License Question.

II is supposed by many who de-
sire to deal in spirituous liquors
that if they pay city license, that
is all that is necessary to protect
them from prosecution under the
State law, for violation Of the liquor
law forbiding the sale of intoxica-
ting drinks. BY the following,
which is translated from the Fdnt-
~ cue f;e, German paper, it
would seem that, although our
State law prohibits the sale Of this
] e ;eragc, it does not withhold any
village or city authority from es-
tablishing and collecting of liquor
sellers such license fee as they may
at any time impose, but the fact
that such dealer rays q license to
the city does not exempt him from
tie penalties provided by State law
for such offense, and he is there
fore liable to prosecution at any
time that com plaint is made against
him:
"IIave the city authorities the
right to take from hotel and saloon
keep rs n license fee when a State
law prohibits the sale of intoXicat-
ing drinks! This important ques-
ton has been decided in the pres
ent session Of the Supreme Court,
in the case Of Charles kit,on against
the Mayor aEd authorities of Ann
Arbor. In that city the prosecu-
ton by the Temperance League, to
suppress the liquor trade, not hav-
ing the desired effect, the city coun-
ell, with the Mayor, passed an or
dinance compelling every saloon
keeper to pay an enormous license
fee or shut up business. Those not
being able to pay the large amount
gave up business, and others, hav-
ing the necessary cash, took ont q
license. But this license ordinance
being by some men considered
contradiction of, and Inconsistent
with the existing State law, ties
case was, few days ago, brough
before the Supreme Court at Ian
sing. The court decided that TIN
Legislature cannot pass law which
authorizes the issuing of licens
for the sale of intoxicat
ing drinks, and that it is not con
Trajectory to the State law for an.
city authority to take license fe'
from a liquor dealer

The counsel for Stokes in press
ing for new trial will rely very
much on the fact that two of the
Jurors went outside of the court
house for evidence, one having eX-
amined the ladies' staircase at the
Grand Central Hotel, and another
having examined pistols at gun
smiths, TO see whether a four could
be distinguished from a six-barre!-
ed pistol. An affidavit is also to be
embodied IN the bill of exccptio 6
that before the trial one of the ju-
rors said Stokes ought to hang
anyhow, and another that if he
was on the jury he'd hang him

Singular Explosion.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 22.-Last
evening, while workmen at Bateman
g. Garlisons' foundry were moving
ladle filed with several tons of
molten metal, the crane hooks
broke, letting the iron fall into a
hole which contained some two feet
of watcr, and a terrific explosion
followed. The roof of the building
was carried away, and the walls
cracked. The houses in the vicini-
~ had their windows badly shat
tered. Several worlSmcn were
slightly injured, though none seri-
ously. The damage to the foundry
will amount to about $4,000.

The Indians.

A dispatch from Ierka under
date of the 10Th states that mes
sage has arrived at that place from
the headquarters Of Gen. Wheaton,
commanding the troops in action
against the Modoc Indians.
A severe battle was fought day
or two since. The troops under
command Of Gen. Wheaton consist
of $50 regulars, two companies OF
Oregon volunteers, twenty-five CAL
ifornia rillemen, commanded by
Capt. Fairchild, and a few Klamoth
Indians, altogether about 400 men.
The battle took place near the
eastern shore of Tule Lake.
Thursday Capt. Bernard went
around the north end of the lake
to the east side and to the east of
Capt. Jacks position. He was to
advance against Capt. Jack from
the east, and Gen. Wheaton from
the southwest, the forces of the lat
ter TO be.undcr cover Of the fire of
howitZers.
Thursday night such a dense fog
enveloped the country that the
men could not see forty yards.
The two forces were then about
twelve miles apart, though to com
municatc with each other it was
necessary to go much greater
distance.
Friday morning Capt. Bernard
opened the battle against Capt.
Jack, who had about 300 warriors
concealed among the rocks along
the liuc, two miles in length. Gen.
Wheaton heard firing and had no
alternative but to co to the aid Of
Capt. Bernard without the fire OF
the howitzcrs.
The troops fought the unseen
foe from s a. NJ. till dark under a
terrible fire, during which scarcely
one Indian was seen.
The less of the troops was forty
killed and wounded. The loss of
the Modocs is unknown. The
troops were finally obliged to re-.
treat to their camps. Bcrnard's
forces bore the brunt of the battle
and suffered terribly. All the cav
airy fought on foot.
The movement is called n forced
reconnaissance of Capt. Jacks posi-
ton.
The leaders say it will take one
thousand men to dislodgc him. Th'
troops for the present will only TT,
to prevent the ModOcs raiding OF
the settlements, and await rein
forcements.
