for years. A party OF resident Modocs,
feeling, l presume, as though their frail
stomachs would be benefited by q mild
stimulant, repaired TO the dispensary in
the rear of the NJ. E. Chur"h. and re-
called themselves go er1ectually that
they became weary OF inactivity and
peace, and notwithstanding service was
being held in the church near BY, cons
cluded for a change to 60 on the war
path. They went, ard for an hour or
90 played circus to large, though not
very sppreclative audience, when
Squire McJiltop, who was once soger
boy, and not afraid to die, arrived on
the field OF battle and at once put
stop to the fighting, which he succeeded
in doing after protracted struggle, In
which the Squire acquitted himself no.
bly,. Two OF the Modocs were cap
tured, given q trial, fined aud compelled
to give bond for their good behavior IN
the future. The rest OF the baud took
safety in flight, and it is hoped they
have gone west never 10 return.

WE supposed the lots sold last wirter
in Lockwood's addition, would be i'm
proved by building upon this summer,

facilities for making a very respectable
town or city in size, and il the resi-

ply it in other and more profitable
directions, the town would certainly
improve.
