of Gen. Candy While Holding
IN Peace Conference, by
Capt. Jack. Chief of
the IOdOcs.

Meacham made short speech to the In
dians, followed by General Candy, and then
DIR. Thomas. Then Captain Jack made
speech. asking for Hot Creek and Cotton
Wood. the places now occupied by Fai:child
and Doris, for Il reservation. Mr.. Meacbam
told Jack that it was not possible to give
him what he asked. Schonchin told Meach-
am to say no more, that he had said enough
and while Schonchin was speaking Cantain
Jack got up and walked behind the Others.
and turned back and exclaimed, 'All rea-
dy," drew his pistol and snapped cap at
General Candy, cooked his pistol again and
fired. General Candy fell dead, shot under
the right eye. Schonchin then shot Meach-
am in the shoulder and head but he is still
alive. Boston Charley and another Indian

chased D,ar for some distance, but Diar
turned upon him with pistol in hand and
Jim ran, when an Indian knocked Riddles

Captain Jack made him return ii, and then
another Indian chased Riddle and shot al

Lethargic Influences of 1he season

Languor, lassitude. and indisposition to

dullness and melancholy, are evils which
materially detract from human enjoyment,
and they are experienced in a greater or
less degree. according to the temperament
and constitutional tendencies of the indi-
vidual, by large proportion of the com

the only medicinal preparation in existence
that is thoroughly adapted to the work

Sharpers are following up the far
mers' movement, and turning it to
their advantage. In Illinois the swim
dlers travel from county to county,
with samples of goods, represent that
they are runners or agents for whole
sale Grangers' stores in Chicago
They display their samples, offer
their goods at exceedingly low pri-
ces, and take the farmers note for
the amount payable in sixty DAYS
The goods never turn up, but the
notes always do, in the hands Of in
nocent parties, and while the farmer
is congratulating himself upon not
buying of middlemcn,and wondering
why the goods don't come round, his
note natures and must be paid. 1t
is best for farmers and others to buy
only Of men they know, and especi-
ally not to give their notes until they
have value received.

The early ducklings that realize
such high prices in the London mar
kets are said to be principally of the
Aylesbury variety, distinguished by
their great size, white plumage and
flesh colored bill. Their high quail
ity is said to be produced by feeding
the old birds largely with sound oats
placed in vessel of water. If not
allowed much room to swim, the old
will lay freely in winter; then the
eggs should be hatched under hens.
and the ducklings literally fed with
slaked oatmeal and fine middlings,
and afterwards with oats in water.
Under this Treatment they may be
made ready for the table in less than
two months.
