Duck Shooting Extraordinary.

The Virginia Enterprise of June
23i has the following: Over at
WashOe City, the other day, some
men stopping at the principal
hotel. while viewing the sur
rOundings Of the place. saw a
large flock Of ducks settle down
on the further side Of Washne
Lake. A Wash0e Indian also saw
the ducks, and told the men that
he would 60 after Them If they
would get him gun. IN the
hotel they found an ole United
States musket. This they loaded
nearly 10 the muzzle, and giving
it to the Indian, started him for
the lake. After he was gone the
ways who loaded the gun for him
went to the upper story of the
house, and with opera glasses
watched the progress Of the no
bile red man. He at last reached
the spot where the ducks had
been seen to settle. down among
the tules :. Presently they saw

ground, and heard tremendous
roar come over the lake-a sound
as though the gun had burst into
thousand pieces. Fearing that
the gun had indeed burst and
killed the poor devil, the jokists
began to feel very guilty. They
FASTENED from the house and
struck out around the lake When
they had got about half way

coming toward them. There was

INDIAN PRISONER ESCAPED
The Indian who stole Mr.. Muzzy's
pants with SIPS 90 in the pocket,
and who tried to escape by swim
ming down the river, but was
overtaken by a boat and brought
back and sentenced to 80 days in
the Chain Gang, made his escape
the other day. Taking his chain
in his hand, he started to run.
Andrew Tyner, Under Sheriff,
called to- him to. stop, which he
did not do, when Mr., Tyner drew
his revolver, but unfortunately. it
snapped. Mr.. Tyner fired four
shots after him as he ran, but did
not drop him, and ne got away.
Indians report however, that the
runaway is shot through both
legs. Hope the, report is true. {:

HARDY FOR CONGRESS.

The Miner says that Hardy y is
out as free and Independent
candidate for Congress. Well,
he has right to run. Any Amer
lean citizen has a right to run for
Congress. But where does he
expect to get the votes to elect
him? Does he expect that the
few votes he will get in Mohave
and Yavapai counties will elect
him? Does he expect the people
Of Pima and Yuma Counties to
support him? If he does he is very
foolish-too foolish to go to Con-
gress. In an article in the Miner of
22nd of last November, Hardy
grossly insulted the people Of
Yuma and Pima Counties. These
are his, words, "As to our next
Delegate to Con gress, it is use
less to try TO elect q man from
the northern part Of the Territory
as there is material i'll anu ABOUT
Tucson and Yuma that a fraudu-
lent vote would be cast to defeat
any other but their own choice"
After thus. characterizing the
people of these counties as politi-
cal scoundrels, he has the cheek
to come out for Congress himself!
There is no danger of his election,
but we shall keep this matter be-
fore the people during the cam
paign.

TOPEKA, KANs., May dst, 1874.
Dear TIMES Winters chilling wind
has once more past, and cheerfal spring is
with KS. All our trees, large and small,
are covered with flowers, that promises
another year of fruit of all kinds, similar
to that of two years ago, when peaches
sold at % cents per bushel, and grapes at
3 cents per pound. Fruit trees bear much
earlier here than in Pa. This spring has
been very backward, but vegetables from
gardens are in market pretty plenty. We
have new potatoes, but we get them from
down the river. The wheat both fall and
spring is looking well, and we have every
promise of plentiful year. Five thousand
head of cattle have arrived at Witchate
from Texas. They have been driven across
the plains, and the drivers report grass
good, and that they expect to harvest there
in three weeks.
Our latest excitement is in the arrival of
old Bender, from Salt Lake. presume
your readers remember the numbering
Bender family. The old man cannot .or
will not talk--claims to be German, who
has lived in the mountain 1S years. Par
ties who claim to know Bender, are not
positive Of his identity. He is wild old
hermit with long hair uncombed, aHdlooks
terrible.
Our town is prospecting. Merchants buy
ing more goods than usual, and are selling
Spragues e. Hamiltons prints at 49~cents
10 pound of sugar for $1.OO; pound of
coffee for $1OO; Pie Plant cents per
pound; corn go cents per bushel. Emigra-
tion continues, more persons are coming
this spring than any preceding season.
Land men report land sales larger than any
former spring in the history of Kansas.
Buildings are going up in every part of
our town, and everything looks prosperous
with us.
Yours very respectfully,
T. b. THoMPsoN.

Rernum, Eaton, IngersoII, Wells.

The Democrats and Liberals in the con-
nectcut Legislature met one day last
week to nominate candidate fer United
States Senator, in place of William A.
Buckingham.
A nomination means an election, as the
Democrats have strong working major
ity in the Legislature. The three most
prominent, candidates are William II, Bar
mum, member of Congress; Charles Inger-
soil, present Governor, and w. w. Eaton,
member Of the Legislature from Hartford,
and for years one of the most cranky war
horses of the Democratic party in the State.
1t is quite probable that one of these three
gentelmen will be chosen. OF the three,
Governor IngSrsoll would best represent
the best wing ef the part, the thoughtful
and the conservative. Barnum is charged
with being too cOnspicuously lavish with
his great wealth, in political campaigns,
and Eaton stands too near the mere politi-
cal bulldog. Ingersoll would honor not
only his party as Senator, but his Safe.
Hon. David A. Wells is also spoken of as
candidate, but is not brought prominently
forward. He would probably do more hon.
or to.the Democrats Legislature of Con.
necticut than any other man that could be
found in the limits Of the State. He not
only has national reputation, but ho is
regarded in Europe as one of the most
eminent political statisticians of our times
In the language of the stump, the eyes
of the nation are upon this Democratic
Legislature. In the present condition o
public affairs, and the possibilities of the
near future for their party.
Sincelthe above was in type, Eaton has
received the unanimous nomination.

Frederick, the Little.

A promised sensation in Brooklyn is
spoiled by the discovery of the whereabouts
of the boy Freddy" Ingraham. 1t ap-
pears that this precocious youngster was an
important witness relied upon by the
Woman's Temperance Society in the pros
ecution of the liquor dealers offending
against the Sunday liquor law. When he
was most wanted, the crusade having gone
into the courts, he suddenly disappeared,
and it was darkly limited that eombina-
tion Of the dispensers of Sunday rum had
him mysteriOusly put.sut of the way. His
failing to turn up in a weeks time gave a
color Of probability to this grave Oharge
and things began to look serious. All
doubts regarding the boys safety are now
dispelled, however, by the statement of his
mother, who acknowledges she received a
letter from him dated in New Jersey where
he is industriOusly and peacefully laboring
on a canal boat. The reason for the boys
non-appearanees when needed was that
the avaricious parent had beeo promised
some money by the temperance society and
as it was not forthcoming he wac hurried
OFF. Those who we're shaking their heads
after the wisest fashion and implying by
reticence knowledge of the vileness OF
human nature generally and of kquor
dealers especially may now keep them sta
ti0Rary with perfect ease,

TIM REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION. chairman
Of the Republican State Executive committee has
called the State Convention of that party to meet
at Georgetown, Sussex county, on Tuesday, July
2sth.
This proceeding is not altogether acceptable to
many of the pauty. The Commercial is somewhat
indignant and intimates that Mr.. Pickles exceeds
his authority. 1t thinks he ought to have called
the Executive committee together and permitted
its members to fix upon the day for the conven-
tion. The BreakWatcr Light, Milford News and
Eeery Erening are, also, adverse to holding the
convention at that time. 1t is generally thought
that this cali was made in Difference to the wishes
Of the Jump men.
