The following circumstance In the
life Of tho late Major Geo. Ferrend. re-
lated by the Enterprise Of yesterday, is
vouched for by Gus Lewis. Who was
witness of the combat. The fight took
place in Cxmptonvills in 1864, and Is
described by the Enterprise as follows:
1T appears that be had had some
trouble with n man. and it was agreed
that when they again met they should
meet fighting" The desperado shortly
after came into a saloon (where lie saw
the Major sitting in his shirt sleeves)
armed with an AZ. As he advanced upon
him the Major arose and drew q large
knife. The man with the ak moved eau
tiously forward, holding aloft his terrible
weapon. The Major stood perfectly mo-
tionless, warily watching the eyes OF his
approaching foe. The only movement
he made was to constantly turn the
wrist Of the hand that held the knife, so
that the weapon was ceaselesslv moving
and flashing back and forth. The man
advancing with the ak at last could no
longer refrain from casting a glance at
the weapon thus flashed before his eyes,
and the moment he did SO the Major
sprang forward with the leap Of tiger
ard drove his knife, not only through
the heart of his foe, bnt through his
whole body, the point projecting at his
back. But quick as had been his move
men., his opponent was almost as alert
the blows Of both men being struck
almost ut the same instant. The handle
Of the AK struck the Major on the shout
der, while the whole blade OF it was
buried in the small Of his back, renetrat-
ing and cutting one Of his kidneys.
Both men fell to the floor together and
for time it was thought that both were
dead but contrary to the expectations 81
all the Major recovered from lis fearful
wound in due time and was rs ready for
fresh adventures, military and otherwise,
as before.

SENTENCE CT SoMERs.-In the District
Court for Douglas county, sitting at
Genoa, on Tuesday, Judge Harris passed
the final death sentence upon William
Somers, the Young man who slew Frank
Ben some months since. Thursday,
Dec. 81. inst. is fixed as the day of
execution. Somers is represented as
seeming SO utterly stunned by his dread
full predicament as TO hear his doom with
a kind of unnatural apathy which had
the appearance OF indifference. In
passing sentence upon Linn, Judge Harris
sought TO impress upon Lis mind the
hopeiessness Of his case, and urged him
to pre- pare for certain death. There is
little hope Of his receiving laitisaticn
Of his sentence.

V1o1sECT1oN is the name given by com
narrative anatomists 10 the process Of
dissectine live animals. OF the result
of an experiment of the kind, the Fir-
ginia City Independent says: \ success
full anatomical experiment was tried yes
terday by DR.. Fetterman. A dog was
chloroformed and his heart cut out and
laid on board where it beat 230 times.
1t was mooted question whether this
could be done, the doctor insisting that
it could while other would-be scientists
denied it. The next question was what
caused the heart to beat SO long after
being separated from its surroundings.
The doctor very sensibly maintained that
the animal lived while the heart beat.
Others talked largely about its momen-
tum and peristaltie action, and all that.
The fact is. there was not only life there,
bat it manifested itself in the pulsations
OF the heart The more interesting
question would be, what became OF the
life when it ceased manifestations! 1t
will not do to say that life was destroyed.
1t is a principle which is incapable OF
destruction. But the manifestation Of
that principle so far as that organization
went. ceased because conditions had
rendered it impossible longer to continue
tina. manifestation. Still the life prin-
ciple could not have persisted; II so,
death is the eternal principle and not
life, and God Of destruction rules the
world.

ware. 1t will thus bo seen that over a
very considerable part of the Union. and
at widely separated points. the principal
parties are ready for the approaching
canvass. One point of interest to be
noted IN this connection is the promi-
nence given to the financial question.
The Ohio Democratic Convention. like
those OF Indiana and Tennessee hereto
fore, stabs its party by proposing to pay
the nve-twenties in greenbacks, and fur
eher proposes to abolish the national
pank currency, to establish strictly a
revenue tariff. and to submit to the peo.
pie OF Ohio license law amendment.
The Missouri Democratic Convention
rails INTO the same fallacy with Ohio and
others OF paying the five-twenties with
paper. In contrast with these is the u
nnols Democratic Convention, which de-
clares for the payment of the national
debt in specie. The Pennsylvania Dem
ocratic Convention nominated Hon. Jno.
Latta for Lieutenant Governor, and in
Its platform urges a speedy return to
specie. The Michigan Republicans re-
nominate Gov. Bagley. Their platform
Is mainly retrospective, but approves
free banking and President Grants veto
message on the imitation bill. The Kan
sas Republican Convention renominated
Gov. Osborn, and pronounced explicitly
against third term and the encroach-
ment OF Federal power.-Bah. Sun.

LARGE NUMBER OF MEN To BIZ PUT TO
WORK NEXT MONDAY.
About sixty-fivs men are now at work
on the new reservoir lot, and no more at
present can work with advantage. But
still these sixty five men do not embrace
enough Democrats to have any percepti-
Bile effect at the election, and more la
borers will have to be employed. But
the Captain is too much afraid of public
opinion to put the requisite number of
men to work right away. and so delay
will be made until Monday. On that
DAY an effort will be made to get the
horses and carts to work, and if this can
be done the Captain will employ about
one hundred additional men. OF this
one hundred. about fifty will be Demo-
Gratis. with the exception Of receiving
their votes on Tuesday. We will see
