MARY GAFFSEY, while returning home, at
Cohoes, n. Y, the other night, from a funeral,
fell down an embankment, and became so
mired in mud that she could not e~xtricate her
self, and was in this manner strangled to

Bulls Head Bank, Of New York, which sus-
pended some time ago, has been reopened for
business. /. !. The New York Horld, of the 2Sd,
closes a long article on "The Democratic
Party" in the following words: "We fellow
ship with all genuine Free-Traders; we scorn
political association with any Protectionist !;
every citizen who is unequiyocally for free
trade is a good enough Democrat for us; no
Professional can be q Democrat at all. We
stake all our hopes on making the Democracy
an ont and out, thick and thin aggressive,
and, if you. please. intolerant, Free-Trade
party, subordinating all issues 10 this, and
thereby drawing to itself all citizens who have
atrue appreciation Of this great principle"

The peace conference at Camp Verde resulted
in the unconditional submission and surrender
of two of the worst bands of Apaches. Peace
was brought about through the complete rout
Of the Apaches, who have for the last % years
deied the Government. Over 200 warriors
have been killed in the last campaign in the
Businesses of the Apache country. Tit war
riors gave up their arms. When the talk be-
gan the Apache chiefs were the first speakers.
All acknowledged complete defeat. They
desired peace. Gen. Crook accepted in a few
remarks. The chiefs promised to send word
to all outside Indians harms to come in and
surrender. Passes to protect runners were
promised, when the conference broke up. The
vanquished Apaches went up the river to the
old post, where q feast was given them. The
Generals policy will be to treat the Indians
humanely, place them on reservations, make
them no promises which will not be fulfilled
to maintain order among them, n'truct
them in their simple duties to God
and man, and thus prove to them
that peace is far better than war;.
A telegram from San Francisco of the Doth
says: A Yreka dispatch reports that the Indians
are still In the lava-bed, SOM of the Modocs
having been seen where young Hovey was
shot, evidently keeping open communication
with the lake for water. A number of shots
were fired along the line just before he left.
The troops are still remaining in the AWARDED.
The Indian found in Jacks cave was Scar
Faced Charley, beyond doubt, by the descip-
ton. He was dead, instead Of wounded, as
before reported. Eugene Hovey's body was
buried near the camp on Friday. 1t was SO
horribly mutilated as to be scarcely recog-
nizable.
Two workmen On Potter Palmer's new hotel
In Chicago, were killed the other day, by the
giving way of an insecure scaffolding. -. Re-
ports of the late storm in Western Nebraska
show it to have been one of the severest ever
known. Men were frozen to death within two
rods of their houses while trying to get to their
stock to feed them. Families were compelled
to take refuge in cellars or keep their beds for
three days. tn destruction of horses was
great, some losing all they had. One party
lost his whole herd of rs head. The gullies of
the railroads were filled with enow as hard as
ice. Snow-plows were useless.
The wheat throughout Northern Kansas il
in good condition, and promises q large weld.
IA Mr.. Robinson, from Minnesota, aged
122. passed through Milwaukee, the other day,
to visit q young son in Illinois aged 90.

dnring the rebellion, and who we're guilty of
