The MURDER OF GEN. MoCOoK.-A
Yankton, Dakota dispatch says the Grand
Jury has returned an indictment against
P. H. Wintermute who shot Secretary
McCook, charging him with man slaugh>
ter only. The friends of Gen. MeCook
are indignant, aud do not hesitate to say
that number of the Grand Jury have
been influsnced, as it is understood that
Wintermute has been using money freely
wherever it would do the most good
The course of the jury has been the
source of general scandal, for some days
past and their action and the probable
result of their Investigation has been
freely reported in the streets from day to
day. As a result Judge Barnes answer
ed the jury when the indictment was
presented in the severest terms, and in
closing told them they might retire, but
without the thanks of the Court. 1t is
understood that several of the members
stood out strenuOusly for an indictment
of murder until they found that they
must take manslaughter or nothing, the
vote standing evenly divided.

Now WAsR'r THAT A DRAwBACk?-
Last Friday night the negro prisoners
confined in the lower cell OF the county
Jail conceived she bright idea of setting
fire to their apartment in the hope that
the jailor would open the door and let
them pass out rather than see them
roasted like GO many potatoes.
About one o'clock Saturday morning
the white prisoners in the upper cell,
being nearly sudocated by the smoke and
seeing the fIe from below shining
out upon the trees in the rear Of the
Jail, called loudly for help and beat upon
the bars of their prison like snraged
tigers, which had the effect Of rousing
MIR. James Taylor from his slumbers.
He went to the scene of the confusion
and found that the fire was gaining rapid
! Roadway, but instead of unlocking the
door he cody asked the negroes if they
had any water. They told him they had
Then, said he, put out the fire or burn.
Finding that their little game was too
| thin to spread and the fire rather un-
comfortable, they went to work and soon
! extinguishcd the flames. Next day they
were ali ironed. and are not likely to play
jokes on the jaylor any more. Now
wasn't that setback

As the passenger train Of the Oregon
and California Railroad was recently
running south below Comstocks station,
Douglas county, the engineer saw just
ahead some animals on the track. The
customary whistles were sounded, but
the animals budged not. Before the
train could be stopped the cowcatcher
of the locomotive hit one of them and
broke its leg. Then they were for the
first time distinctly seen-and they
proved to be five deer. They stood stock
still, facing the bright, blazing headlight,
little off tie track, all except the one
that was hit, which stood with one leg
over the rail When the train stopped
the four that were unhurt bounded off at
high speed and the wounded buck limp
ed away out of sight. Had any one on
the train been armed with pistol or gun
the deer might have easily been killed.

DoN'r RELY Ok RUMoRs Several
days ago lady, Mrs Chewing, came
out here from Memphis to assist Mrs.
Fannie Smith in her millinery establish~
ment, and unfortunately was taken sick
Her disease proved to be yellow fever.
She is at the residence of DR.. D. j.
Newbern, has all necessary medical at
tention and careful nursing, and is getting
we'll, and is out of danger, provided there
is no relapse. This We learn from DR..
Hugh Tate in person. There is no cause
to fear that the disease will extend to
others. The season is too far advanced,
and the location too high to admit of any
thing Of the kind. Parties who left
Memphis with the poison in their sys-
TENS have died at almost every town
along the railr Dads Leading out OF the
city, and yet the disease has not extend
ed to single individual in such towns.
The foolish rumors flying over the coun
try about yellow fever being in Bolivar
are all wrong, and there is neither cause
nor reason for any ere to shun this com
munity. Bolivar continues to be the
healihiest town in the State.

100000 TO SLAUGHTER-Tbe entire
number of hogs produced in the West
for the last packing season amounted to
100000, and it is estimated that the
number this year will be increased BY a
million or more. This increase is based
upon she immense crop Of corn, which
the farmer must ru5 into hogs to get ant>
thing like a living Erice for his labor.
The Droyers' Journal does not believe it
will be prudent or safe for those engaged
in raising hogs to expect any better
prices than were paid during the packs
ing season last year.

The Siege OF the Spanish Ram.

During those days Of uncertainty when we
watched with anxiety the condition of the
entente cordiale between Mr.. Fish and Senior
CASTELAR,, the formidable Spanish iron-clad
Arapiles, which was undergoing repairs at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, became an object Of in
terest and apprehension. AS the clouds Of
war thickened on the horizon, and even Mr..
Fish's pen lost little Of it's suavity, the
proposed departure of the Arapiles for the
shores of Cuba was looked for with no pleasant
feelings Just then an unfortunate coal barge
was il-patured enough to sink in front Of ths
