That Blunder-Buss.

Mr.. EpIroR: Belzebub is again in
our midst, and has shown his cloven.
foot in the issue of the Cylinder
buss." But do not think that Belize
bub himself edits the "Blunderbuss, %
but some of his "imps," who. like his
illustrious sire, are the enemies of all
good. There are many statements
made in the Obj" which are we'll
calculated to impress upon the mind
that Satan himself was the editor, for
he is the "father of lies" But not
long since one Of his "imp" editors,
while in moments of delirium tremens,
visited his Satanic majesty and had a
cordial ''shake hands" And it is
quite likely that he received full in
struction from this great father OF his,
which makes the "Blunderbuss" APP
pear as if it came direct from his ma
iesty's own hand. The editors of this
Infamous sheet, like Satan, walk to
and fro, up and down in the earth,
pointing ont the "motes" that are in
their neighbours eye, when 10! they
are blind with beam in their own
eye. Editors of the "Blunderbuss,"
do right yourselves, then you can with
clear conscience chastise your erring
fellowmen. 1t appears that these
"imps of Belzebub" cannot see any
good anywhere but in themselves, and
they seem to think that they are "par
excellence" and therefore make war
on all churches and believers in
Christianity. Neither do they scruple
to make false statements about mem
bers of the church, such, for instance,
as was made by :hem about the M. K.
church and its pastor. However, Mr..
Editor, we know that the good people
of Lancaster do not for moment be.
lieve their mischevlous and false state.
ments. And, it is certainly true, that
a very large majority of the citizens
Of Lancaster disapprove and are
heartily disguised with the "Blunder-
buss" and its editors. And every is
sue OF that infamous sheet adds new
recruits to the crusade party, and
arouses in the former members a
greater zeal and activity for the cause
of temperance, and makes them more
than ever before determined to wage
unceasing war upon 'King Alcohol"
Therefore, the members of the Ladies'
Temperance Union are aroused to &C.
ton; their meetings are well and faith
fully attended, and the cause of tenn
perance is gaining ground daily.
Respectfully yours, CRUSADER.

Col. John G. Clark for Congress

Mr. EDITOR: l am pleased so mu CHI
praise given to John G. Clark as a
candidate for Congress through your
columns. have known John q. Clark
for twenty-five years, and he has filled
every position Of honor and trust with
ability, integrity and honesty, to which
he has been called by his constituents,
his friends his government.
He had only but just returned from
the legislature as being one of its
ablest members from this Assembly
District, when the cry to arms reached
the ears of this patriotic gentleman,
and no sooner said that done, and he
was soldier, and nobly did he dis
charge all the duties assigned him to
such an extent that he won the ad mi
ration of those who outranked him,
the respect and love of the private
under him. Again, while he was will
ing aud ready in his coun:ry's service,
we'll do we all remember the pressing,
urgent demand made by the govern
ment for men as soldiers to quell the
rebellion which was assuming dark
ened aspect all around the horizon,
that men were trembling in their boots
for fear they would be drafted, and
90 or furnish a substitute, and in order
to raise funds for the purpose OF hiring
men to 90, they levied tax upon the
property of men already in the field
of battle, and taxed Col. Clark's prop
erty among others, in order to excuse
those who were too cowardly, or from
some frivolous exemption. In case of
another outburst in that restless cle-
ment in the South now, and we should
require a man that has been tried in
action, on whom should we rely but
Col. Clark. 1t is from this and other
creditable records that may be made
of him that | wish the voters at the
coming election this fall to remember
that he is the preferable man for con
gress. AN OLD SETTLER.

GREAT SLAUGHTER OF CATTLE
Tuesday of last week the citizens of
Boscobel were thrown into a feryor of
excitement over the reported whole
sale poisoning of cows belonging to
residents of that city. A careful in
quiry reveals the fact that on that day
the town cattle broke into the enclo
sure of one Parkinson, who resides
about one mile south of the city, and
DESTROYED about one fourth of an acre
of broom corn, from the effects of
which twenty-one head died. 1t
seemed rather strange that the mere
eating of broom corn should cause
such terrible destr uction, and hence
the authorities purchased a cow which
was turned into the field and after
eating five hills, it also died. One Of
the animals, belonging to Hon. Geo.
C. Hazelton, had medicine admins
tered to counterfeit the poison and
thereby saved valuable COW.

BADLY BURNED.--O day last week
Jacob Shuttle, of Sinsinawa Mound,
went to Galena to purchase supplies,
and in dong so took into his carcass
many drains of Galena whiskey. In
the afternoon he managed to get into
his wagon and start for home. Feel
ing inclined to smoke, he filled pipe,
lit it, and set the straw in his wagon
on fire. The fire communicated to a
can filed with kerosene, which ex-
ploded and caused Shute's clothes to
ignite. When his team arrived at the
Three Mile House, Shuttle was seated
upon the wagon, the whole woodwork
of which was in flames and his cloth
ing and limbs burned to a crisp. Tie
was conveyed to the residence of a
physician near by, where he received
proper attention.

~ The crop Of corn in Grant
county was never more promising
than at present The acreage of corn
is greater than at any previous year.
The Winter wheat crop is unusually
good. The Spring wheat in some To-
calities is light, but taken as whole
is fair average crop with other sea
sons. Potatoes are unusually good,
not having been materially injured by
the bug, aud are green and iourishing.
Stock Hogs are plenty and held high,

and while doing so discovered the fig.
ure Of man retreating through the
front door. Having horror Of mid
night assasslns he got his revolver
and stood watch for the return of the
man Soon he appeared. and ad-
vanced into the hall when Shrrtletf
fired, at the same time ex claim ing,
"Come, Bill, got up I've shot a
man" Imagine his surprise and
terror when Bill answered "What
are you shooting me for ?" 1t seems
that Bill, whose surname is Johnson,
had been out stoning off some dogs
that had disturbed his quiet sIumber,
and returning to the house received
this unusual welcome. An examina-
ton Ct the wound showed that the
ball had struck exactly over the
stomach, gIancing downward toward
the top of the hip, where it was cut
out, leaving four-inch flesh wound
to remind him of his midnight recep-
tion.
