The road in some places is pretty bad,

fine buck, good shot from the road, but
as usual in such cases, had no gun. Re-

able to shoe him away into the brush.
Levi Day, at East Weaver, recently
came upon Il large buck in death strug-

latter animal dropped the deer, fled and
made its escape. Its victim was so far
gone that Mr.. Day went deliberately up
and cut its throat, and appropriated the
carcass. The head was in literal state
of Jelly from the fierce exertions o. the
panther. The deer dressed 40 lbs.

The Fraudulent Post Office Contracts.

WAsHINGroN. April 8-The inves-
tigation into the matter of letting cor
tracts for the mail service has been
pushed fer enough by the Post Office
authorities to satisfy them that the
fraudulent practice of substituting low
er bids after the regular proposals had
been received and stamped, has been
carried on tor many years, and origi-
mated during President Johnson,s Ad.
ministration, when Alexander Randall
was Postmaster General. Thus far,
only partial statement Of facts had
been made public and the exposure
which is yet to come viii create great
sensation. Governor Jewell is deter
mined to probe the matter to the bot
tom, although he has been warned by
some of the implicated parties that if
the investigation is pushed, it will
reach and hurt some persons who stand
high before the country. Some of the
implicated clerks have confessed in full
their connection with the frauds, and
are now aiding the department in its
investigation, and the information thus
rendered has been found Of the utmost
Importance. The clerks who fully
confessed their completely will not he
criminally prosecuted, while the others
will have to take their chance before
the law. All, how ever, have, nave
suspended, and will be dismissed In
tae opinion Of the Post Office officials
the number Of contracts which bave
been made on these fraudulent bids
will aggregate more than 100. Gov
ernor Jewell has issued orders to stop
any further payment Of money to con-
tractors until he can have a settlement
with them. In conversation to-day,
Governor Jewell said this was the
toughest and largest transaction that
he has ever been called on to handle.
but his mind was made up to make
thorough exposure, shielding no person
no matter how high in authority they
might be-
France is only one of twenty-five

Storms.

OKMULGEE, CREEK NATION, I. Z.
April 8.-The most terrific and fearful
storm that has ever been known in thi,
latitude passed over this portion of tbc
Indian territory last week. The rain
fell as though the clouds had parted
and waterspout broke over the land
The north fork of the Canadian river
overflowed it's banks for width OF
two miles, and the water raised the
streams nine feet in an hour Mucl,
damage was done and many cattle were
lost. Captain Roberts was caught with
fine flock of meriDo sheep ON the bank
of the stream. The Captain was aslee,.
in his tent, and was awakened by the
water running into the bed. Fl had
just time to escape with his life BY
wading up to his armpits. He lost 2,
600 fine ewes, they being unable to get
out Of the corral. The loss will reach
S15,O0O. Many young lambs were
lost. Captain J. Roberts came here
last fall from Illinois with a flock OF
3,4OO sheep, introducing sheep-raising
among the Indians, but has been ex
ceedingly unlucky. This unforeseen
mishap must have been of great advan-
tage to the indians

Another War Probable

bly, disposed to peace, are anxious to
participate war OF revenge under the

War, accordingly. is coming, although
the clouds gathering on the horizon
may yet be dispersed. The Austrian
conservatives are endeavoring to oust
Andrassy from the Cabinet, with a
view of participating in the comm 9
events. The greater part of the up,
per classes in ltal ly are ready to join
an ally against Germany, considering
her anti Papal attitude hostile to Ital-
ian interests. Yet it is by no means
certain that France will be able to
procure an Austro-Italian alliance Just
now. If her endeavors fail, the war
will probably be delayed, but things
reach pass when the German people
should be better acquainted with the
realities of the situation. 1t is time
to awake the slumberers.
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times says this article is like
ly to have strong effect, and alarm
ing rumors are rife. The same CORES

of the Emperor Francis Joseph and
Victor Emanuel there is less prospect
than before in Berlin of concerning
common measures with Austria and

Eastern Business BarOmeters.

The New York Herald has had rep
resentatives in several large cities as
certaining the business prospects. 1t
published April 5, report from Bos
ton, respecting New England indus
stries, and also one from Virginia.
Both are favorable, the report from
Boston being very fattering. The
industries of New England hold wider
relations with the whole business of
the country than those of any other
locality Massachusetts, is, therefore,
the best barometer of business pros.
poets in the country.
1t is stated nearly all her vast fac
tories are running full time, and at
some overtime is reported. Perhaps
the best evidence of the healthy de-
mand for cotton and woolen goods is
the compliance of factory owners with
the demands of their employees There
we're strikes and others threatened, ,
which were all settled amicably, be-
cause employers could afford to pay
what operatives asked. j.tioI 9a
The boot and shoe and clothing
manufacturers of New England are
busy, also. The great paper mills
have not had SO much to do before in
five years as they have now. In
Boston, the jobbers aud importers re-
port trade brisk. The Herald we'll
says of its correspondents letter, that
the evidence of prosperity is not a
local symptom, and adds: cit beto-
kens a revivlug ability to purchase
goods in all parts of the country, be-
cause full time in the mills will turn
out six or eight times the amount of
goods that can find market, In the
New England States. To people who
take a comprehensive view of the
business interdependence Of all parts
OF the country, this part OF our Bos-
ton letter will seem more full of hope
and promise than any other symptom
which has yet come to the public
knowleds se."
In Virginia the business prospects
are reported as better, and, on the
whole, it seems to be conceded that
men who buy property at present fig
ures will get 1t at bottom prices
