miles from this city on the Portland
road, was attacked by a boar on
Tuesday eve.ing last and terribly
injured. The circumstances, as fur

was caltd in to dress the wounds of
Mr.. Bender, are as follow The boar
was in an Enclosure a sh,rs distance
from the house, and q number OF
swine were in the same lot. Mr..
Bender attempted to drive out d of
the hogs, when the boar attacked
him, threw him down, and tore his
legs terribly with his teeth and tnsks.
Mr.. Bender's right leg was cut to
the bone across the thigh, q piece of
flesh nearly three inches square was
torn from the inside Of the leg just
above the knee, leaving the bone bare
and exposing the femoral artery,
which barely escaped being cut, and
the leg received q number of compar-
alively small wounds. The left leg
was also u across the thigh TO the
bone, besides being badly cut and
lacerated in other places. Mr.. Ben
der only escaped from the Infatuated
animal by lying perfectly quiet. As
long as be struggled the animal eon-
linued It's attack, but Mr.. Bender
happened to think be bad read that
if a man wlen attacked in that man
ner were to lie still, the animal
would leave his victim. He tried.
the experiment, AMI it proved true,
and he aflerward managed 10 reach
the house without any assistance.

SINCE the elections we have been
reading numerous direful threats in
Democratic journals, against the Pres
ident if be dared, by Federal bayo-
nets, to coerce Louisiana into the
ranks of the Republican party; it be-
ing assumed that thar State had been
carried by the Democracy. 1t now
turns out as was anticipated, that the
presence Of the United States forces
has prevented the contemplated Dem
ocratic frauds, and the Picayane
Democratic) comedies that the Re
publican State ticket is elected, that
the constitutional amendments, en-
bOdying KelIogg's financial policy, are
adopted by q large majority; that
three Republican Congressman (in-
stead of q as FIRST repOrted) are
elected; that the House is close, and
that the Senate stands twenty Re-
publicans 70 ten Democrats.

REALLY. now, the N Y. Tribune
is not being well treated by its Dem
ocratic friends. 1t created this great
revolution, you know, by soaring the
country out of its propriety with fears
of a third term" And now, here
comes Richard Schell-"uncle Dick''
-one Of the New York Democratic
magnates, just elected to Congress,
Gnd declares to the Herald that the
third term is a humbug, for said he,
'the President has several times told
me be would not be q candidate for
another term under any circumstan-
ces." Cruel, cruel, Richard How
could you treat the Tribune so?
