SAVANNAH MO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1875.
On the Wing.

Mr.. EDITOR A brief stop at
Bolckow, gave us an opportunity for
taking few notes.
The large packing-house here, which
a few weeks ago was smoking and
seething, is now quiet and closed
Yet, there is considerable activity in
business circles, and i'll shipments at
the depot. There has been some i'm
provement, also, during the summer
and fall, by the way of building.
Among the buildings put up,is very
fine Methodist Church. The audience
room is, perhaps, one of the neatest
in Northwest Missouri. We had the
pleasure of listening, in this room, a
full hour and a half, to the singing of
Mr.. Clark, who is travelling through
the country giving public entertain
ments. Mr.. Clark scarcely has his
equal as ballad singer; but in sacred
songs, Mr. Philip Philips is his super
ior. Mr.. G. was well patronized, and
gave general satisfaction.
Next morning found us in Guilford
"a small, quiet village in the south
eastern part of NOdaway county,

people, for the most part, are screen
ed from the fierce winds of the prairie.
am told that it is a tolerably fair
place for selling goods; there are,
however, not many signs of growth.
[ understand that the Cumberland
Presbyterians hold their Presbytery
here the coming week, which will
keep all parties busy for few days,
at least.
Still on the wing eastward, / found
myself at nightfall enjoying the pleas
ure of being present at very inter-
csting wedding, at the house of MIR.
Purviance, in the southwest corner
of Gentry county. Quite q large
party was present. The bridegroom,
Mr.. John ID. Shepherd, and the bride,
Miss Esther f. Purviance, were GER
tainly al attractive couple. The cer-
emony was briefly and appropriately
performed by the Rev. II. S. Weller,
of Savannah. The whole affair was
pleasant, and followed by most de-
licious repast, to which the guests
did ample justice. The party, after
| spending Il few hours in social con-
verse. broke up, leaving the Young
couple rejoicing in the prospect OF
much happiness and prosperity.

Ii four competent men cannot be

performance Of the work.
Take tho control of the garbage

Give the Board power to name the
number of teams necessary for the re.
moval of garbage.
These amendments arc summed up
in the following which 1t is proposed
to add tothe gargageOrdinance recently

Provided, however, that the Board

deemed most advisable, enter into
contract with any responsible party

entire city, without expense to dis
trict boundaries, for q term not ex.
ceedlng three years, subject to revo-

Col. Chas. ChaiIle Long.

We see from the special cable des-
patches from Paris to the New York
Herald, that Col. Charles Chaille Long
the son of Littleton Long, Sen, Of
Princess Anne, Somerset county, Md,
and for about for or five years past In
the service of the Khedive of Egypt
has ben again distinguishing himself in
the African Expeditions. The second
dispatch says that in his second expedi-
tion to theNiam Nam Country, Africa,
he had desperate encounter with the
natives near Lake Mreole, which he
believes to be one of the sources of the
Nile, and that two negro soldiers who
gallantly supported him, were decora-
ted by the Khedive of their return,
with the insignia Of the order ofMedji-
dee, for their bravery. Col. Long
brought many curiosities from that un.
known country, and, among others,
five specimens on Auth ropophagi Of
the Aka, or Ticke Tickle dwarf race.
1t will be remembered that Col. Long
made his first trip last year, during
which he won the golden honors and
was on his return personally decorated
by his highness, the Ikhedive. The
despatch further states that Col. Long
is now in Paris and will shortly leave
on visit to America and his home.

Between one and two o'clock, this
morning, as Police Constable seth
Stewart approached his home, at No.
Oil Poplar street, he observed a man,
apparently drunk, sitting on his door
step. He asked him what he wanted,
and the man replied that he wanted q
place to sleep. Mr.. Stewart then said
he would take him to the Hall, and led
him dowh to the corner, when the man
said: "Let go of me, l can walk" and
at the same time he struck the officer O

him down, but as Stewart instantly
graspcd his assailant by the throat,

corner. and, grasping Stewart by the
hair, attempted to kick him, but Mr..

three lolled out in the street together.
Then cnsued desperate struggle. MIR.
Stewart held on tenaoiously to both
assailants, while they took his pocket.

gled fiercely to escape. Mr.. Stewart
cried "murder," for the purpose of
bringing some help, and Mr.. Miller,
who lives close by, responded to the
alarm; but just as he was issuing from
his door the highwaymen made despe-
rate efforts and succeeded in getting
away, when they fled rapidly. The
officer was considerably bruised in the
struggle, but was not seriously injured.
His pockct'book contained between
$24 and $25.
The highwaymen were both strong,
good.sized men; one was dressed in
dark suit, AID the other in clothes of a
somewhat lighter shade. Efforts are
now being made to secure their ar
rest.
