Applegate's House, Clear Lake, Califor-
mia, June 1st, $50 p. MAJ half-past

scouts struck the trail, and after brief
search the Modocs were discovered. Col.
Perry surrounded the Indian retreat. His
men were bound to fight. Suddenly Mo

flag. He met a Warm Spring scout and
said Jack wanted to surrender. Three
scouts were sent to meet Jack. He came

tors. Then two of his warriors, five
squaws and seven children darted forth and

The command that made this famous
scout was the first squadron of the 1st

Another Female Poisoner.

Another Female Poisoner has been
brought to justice. Recently, at Ger
mantown, Ohio, public attention was at
tracted to the simultaneous poisoning,
by arsenic, of three members of family
named Hanna while visiting the house of
kinswonian, one Sarah Earhardt For
tunately the amount administered to each
Of the intended victims proved insufficient
to cause death. Upon investigation evil
dence was produced, if correct, proving
the woman Earhardt, to be as great mon
ster as either Lydia Sherman, Jane Ann
Cotton or Mrs. Grinder. She is now in
custody on charge of having attempted
to take the lives of, the three Hannas, and
it is said to be the intention of the State
prosecuting counsel to introduce testimony
at the trial to show that she has poisoned
her husband, her sons wife, her son-in-
laws child, and her husbands first wife,
all within few years. Minor crimes, such
as the poisoning of favorite animals and
the burning of hume rous houses, are alsC
said to be among the number of hel
achievements. By the death of the Han
mas she would have come into possession
of considerable amount of property. The
most extraordinary circumstance in con
nection with this case is that the woman
is upward of seventy years of age.

VERY recently, says the Savannah Neeos,
two Massachusetts detectives, in search of
swindler named Wilbur, whose arrest
has been duly chronicled, had occasion to
lay requisition for the criminal before
Governor Smith. His Excellency, after in
vestigating the facts of the case, informed
the detectives that he was only glad to re-
spond to the legal requirement of the Mas
sachuSetts Governor, but expressed sim
cere regret that the document was not
more general in its terms and specifica-
tions, in order that he might give the off
GERS an opportunity Of carrying off train

The Doctors Disagree.

Memphis, June 4.-For the past ten
days disease prevailed here, which at
first the physicians pronounced cholera
morbus or malarial fever, but no alarm
was felt until yesterday when the physi-
clans generally agree that it was cholera,
some classing it as sporadic and others as
Asiatic. Thus far it's ravages have been
chiefly confined to negroes and laboring
classes, and in the absence of an organized
number of fatal cases, the doctors say
the disease, if promptly attended to, yields
readily to treatment.
The reports from the towns below here
on the river say that the disease prevails
there also.

gsY- A Massachusetts mail-caTier reports
to the Northampton Gazette that he "ran
sleigh over Windsor Hill five days in No
vember, and did not run wagon again
until the 2Sth day of April, 1878, making
one hundred and fifty-four days of sleigh
ing, or one hundred and fifty-four days
between the times of running a wagon. The
mail was carried on foot from East Wind
sor to Hinsdale from April 3 to April 25,
twenty-five days. He did not keep the
road all the way until May 10, in conse-
quence of snowdrifts, and at date, May "a,
drives over a drift four feet deep. He
thinks there is plenty of snow in places to
make sleighing until July, for some of the
ploughing land is two and three feet under
the snow, and the farmers talk of remov-
ing it to put in their crops" uN

tS- A miracle occurred at Fergus Falls,
Mimi, the other day. Mr. Squires, of that
burg, had revolver, which, supposed to
be unloaded, was left in reach of his chill
dren. His eldest boy, not more than five
or six years old, took it to bed with him
and had nice time playing with it. OF
course the pistol was loaded and went off.
The miracle was that no one was hurt. The
bullet passed just over the face of another
little fellow in the same bed.

eI- The congregation of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, of Dean
street and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn,
held their May festival in the church.
About midnight while the congregation
was singing psalm, one of the sisters felt
herself aggravated at some remark of one
of the brethren. A male friend of the
woman sought out the aggressor, and from
words they came to blows, and in a short
time general fight ensued. Chairs and
tables were overturned, and soon the floor
was covered with rolling and struggling
mass of men and women interInigled with
capsized ice cream, cakes and jellies of al
kinds. The police were called, but before
they succeeded in separating the combat
ants two of the force were knocked down.
Nearly all the brethren and sisters were
then marched TO the station house.

eg- The king of wheat spectators in
Chicago, John Watson has been snuffed
out. He had been speculating heavily in
wheat, and his operations had much to do
with the advance in the price of that ce-
real during the past four or five weeks. He
was foremost among the bears of the mar
ket. When he failed he had outstanding
contracts for 100000 bushels of wheat,
and was adding to the amount when the
price suddenly fell and the crash came.
The losers are principally wheat dealers,
and the losses are losses Of expected gains,
and hence the failure has had but little
effect on the general trade. Mr. Watson't
operations were ON his own account and
the money lost was his own fortune.
