and stopped in saloon on the way home
Here he met several friends, who .set 'em

about midnight with confused brain,
and very demoralized pair oflegs. Then
he swore that somebody had stolen the
key-hole, but his wife with fearful scowl

The unternfied and unwashed held
their Democratic, Autobiography, indie.
pendent, Liberal County Convention at
the Court House,in Toledo, last SATURDAY.
the 10Th inst In point of numbers the at
tendance was fair, but the proceedings in
general were of the insipid orfer, there
being but little if any excitement. The
result of the convention was the nomina-
ton of the present inc umbents for the
Offices of Representative, Auditor, Treasu-
rer and Sheriff, Lawrence Leyenberger of
Montour as Superintendent of Schools, and
after vain search in their own ranks fer
suitable person as a candidate for coun-
.ty Surveyor, they decided to endorse w.
II. Holstead the present Republican in
.cumbent, whom they nominated.
Resolutions were passed by the conven-
ition censuring county Radical oppression
and supposed wrong doing, advocating a
free whiskey platform, and demanding the
repeal of the present Iowa liquor law as
oppressive. A mighty effort is here made
by the opposition to bring their whiskey
question to the front as the principal issue
in the coming contest, thus seeking to
blind the people with the chaf of Il spigot
and keg of whiskey. Surely this is a
Democratic scheme on the old time demo-
cratic platform of free whiskey. We
waive further comment at this time.

SAD DEATH OF CAPT. SMITH.
An Old Army Quariermaster Commits
suicide.

The people of St. Paul---very lew OF
whom but were acquainted with the de-
ceased..-will be painfully shocked by the
announcement contained in the following
telegram:
RREcK1NR1pGE, Mimi, May Capt. I. p.
smith. post trader at Fort Abercrombie, COM
mitted suicide this morning at seven O'Clock
by shooting himself through the head with
pistol.
Few men in the State were better
known or more highly regarded Tor the
best Qualities of head and heart than,
Capt. Smith, and as it was generally I'M
derstood that he was ! 9th in good cir
cumstances financially and domest'caliy
happy. his sudden taking off by his own
hand is an astounding mystery.
Capt. Smith was not only one OF the
senior ouartermasters Of the volunteer
service. and as such discharged vast and
multiplied duties in fulfilling and proviG-
inc for the ponderous expeditions against
the Indians from this department, but he
otherwise distinguished himself as
daring and successful leader in going to
the relief of beleaguered Abercrombie in
1852. as we'll as the wise and generous
help he gave to the suffering settlers who
were driven from their homes by the saw
ages at that time.
He was big hearted, patriotic man,
lust in the prime Of life, the husband Of
an intelligent and amiable wife, the father
of several interesting children, and HI;
sad unexpected demise will be felt as
nublic bereavement.

The Noble.Hearted Sens.

There lived once in Stockholm an old
man of nearly a hundred winters. de
was q tailor by profession, and had twelve
sons, who all served under Charles XII.
Once they got few days leave Of alb
sence from their regiments, to 60 and see
their old father, whom they found, on
their arrival, without bread. and nearly
starving. "Father has no bresd," said
one of them, ''yet he has given to Sweden
twelve warriors Our dear father must
be helped. but howi'' 'sCsn't we find
somebody who would be willing to lend
us little money!" asked the youngest.
who had a good deal OF faith in God and
rood-hearted people. Try to borrow
money when we have nothing to give in
security! What good will that do 7"
asked another. "Have we nothing At
all I" asked the youngest. my breth-
ers. I will show you that we have. Our
father is . tailor, and has carried ON his
trade . good many years, and IS now
about to die of starvation. This is suffi
Gent proof of his honesty. We, his sons,
have served for many years IN the ranks
Of the Swedish army, and no one can yet
show . stain upon our honor. Let u
give this, our honor, IS security; think
We might borrow little money on such
pledge
This idea won their general approval.
The twelve brothers wrote and signed the
following letter: "We twelve swedes
sons Of tailor who is nearly lOO years
Of age, deprived of the necessary means
of support. pray the directors Of the Ma.
tional Bank for the sum Of. two hundred
dollars to be used for the support Of oul
old and helpless father. We pledge oul
honor IS security. and promise to pay
the above named sum to the bank within
one year" This letter Was handed t.

fall until they were taken out by the milf
tary they saw only five redskins.
The stock of provisions which they had
on hand at the time of their removal was
sufficient to have lasted them until July,
and they had not stinted themselves par
ticularly in order to make them last.
Had the party known anything what.
ever of the movements in the States to-
ward organization Of expeditions, they
would still be in the hills; for they could
easily have secreted themselves SO COM
pletely in the canons that all of Uncle
Sans cavalry might have been turned
loose on them without finding so much
as their trail. But they had received
no intelligence from any quarter. and
didn't know but Gordon and Witchel
had been captured on their trip home
with news for friends. They didn't fee
like pitting less than score Of white
men against the whole Sioux nation, and
SO allowed themselves to be taken.
