A Fact for scientists.

Last Saturday night the patrolmen on
the corner of Main and Union streets
observed man asleep on q door step.
They approached him, when an immense
dog leaped from behind him and seized
one of the 'peelers" by the arm, tearing
his coat and drawing blood. He attacked
the other "peeler," who drew pistol
and fred. The dog was seriously
wounded and went yelping down the
street. Here was the faithful dog and
there was the drunken man. The dog
watched by his drunken master and kept
away all thieves and intruders, and even
resisted the law officers to the last.
Professors Tyndall, Huxley, Stevens
and Darwin could draw wonderful con-
illusions and facts from the above incl
dent. The quadruped displayed wis
dom, memory, sagacity, reflection, good
and bad taste, affection, courage and
reason; while the biped IMAM was rest
ing in the arms Of Bacchus, perfectly
helpless and idiotic--asleep and drunk.

seven o'clock last night and died at two
o'clock this morning. She had been
drinking to excess for several days, and
no doubt committed the act while suffer-

Fire Yesterdnr Morning.

At two o'clock yesterday morning the
bells rang out an alarm of fire, caused
by the appearance of a big blaze on
Main, near South street. The two story
frame dwelling, near the cotton shed,
on the west side of Main, near South,
and occupied by Caspar Batch and
Zavier Uhlen, was totally destroyed by
incendiaries, who set fire to an out
house adjoining. The flames spread so
rapidly over the old building that the
inmates saved nothing and barely
escaped with their lives. Mr.. Batch has
the building insured in Tomlinson's
agency for $1,000, and on the furniture
in Marx & Bendorf's agency for $500.
At four o'clock in the morning the
flames broke out again in the building,
but were suppressed in few minutes.
