"A private letter from an officer at
Fort Sill, Indian Territory, gives the
following account Of m ingenious cx-
pedient adopted to aid some soldiers
in strait; Corporal John Smith, of
the Fortieth Infantry, with four men
were employed on some detail some
twenty-five miles from this post
While thus engaged he was surprised
by body of some hundred or more
mounted Indians, he thinks either Kio-
was or Camanches, from this reserva-
ton. As their purpose was unmis-
takably hostile, he and his men lost no
time in taking TO the only available
shelter, an old buffalo wallow, where,
in very uncomfortable, constrained
position, they managed to protect their
bodies and keep their enemies at dis
tance for the day and night. The
next morning, however, their suffer-
ings for want of food and water be-
came rather serious, and something
had to bc done. Corporal Smith was

The Ashtabula (Ohio) Sentinel says:
H0ur readers, we suppose, have heard
that there is to be a big cheese at the
Philadelphia Centennial celebration.
That that big cheese is to bemade on the
Western Reserve is natural enough,
and still more appropriate that it should
be made in Ashtabula county. We
had a conversation with j. d. Phillips,
Esq, of Orwell, on the subject. The
plans Of course are rather immature
at present but we might say, in gen
eral terms, that the cheese is TO weigh
$4,000 pounds (fourteen tons). 1t will
be thirteen feet broad and eleven feet
deep. Enough factories will furnish
curd SC that Il will be made in two
days time, in May, 1876. The hoop
in which II will be made will be Of cast
iron, and made in Pittsburgh. 1t will
be carried ON a car made for the pur-
pose, directly from Orwell into the Cen.
tcnnial building in Philadelphia. AZ
ter ithas heen looked upon sufficiently,
IL will be cut up and distributed TO the
four quarters Of tho globe"

EIGHT YEARS SouABBLING OVER A
Few DoLLARs.-The case of Hotch-
kiss VS.. Hoey, which has been in court
for nearly eight years, has reached the
Supreme Court The smallness of the
sum involved-7.50-and the princi-
pie embodied in the suit makes its ap-
pearance in the highest court of the
State subject of considerable COM
ment. Let us relate briefly the course
of the litigation. On January 20,
1867, on the public highway, leading
from Cheshire to Waterbury, the plain
tiff was driving a sleigh containing a
pleasure party, and drawn by six
horses, when the defendant appeared
before him with n one-horse sleigh
comparatively no team at all--and per-
sisted in walking his horse. The plain
tiff desired the defendant to turn out
so that his pleasure party might pass,
but he was implacable For two long,
drcary miles, the plaintiff alleges, the
one-horsc sleigh was unnecessarily,
wrongfully and unlawfdlly =
in slow walk Immediately forward of
the plaintiffs team" 1t was not until
George Hines house was reached that
the defendant allowed the plaintiff to
pass. The feelings Of the plaintiff at
the time can be imagined, but II Is d.
ficult TO conceive of n deliberate jour
ncy to q lawyers office, and an over
hauling of the statute books. Gan

riagcs and the management OF steam
boats" was found The penalty for a
violation of the statute is $3.50, half

done, and half TO the informer A
suit WAS at once brought before JUS

----that is, he got a judgment for that
amount. The case was then taken to
the Superior Court the plaintiff, be-
cause the defendants demurrer, that
the declaration was insufficient, was

thing for counsel fees, and will cost
somebody more before the climax Is
