A woodchopper's Agony.

Horace Miner, on Tuesday last, was
chopping in the woods near Waymart.
At noon his wife carried his dinner to
him. He was engaged telling a tree
when she arrived at the spot, and she
stood near waiting for him to get
through. She had in her arms a child
a few months old. The tree in falling
lurched toward Mrs. Miner, and before
she could get out of the way it came
crashing upon her, one of the largest
branches striking her and pinning
both her arms and her child to the earth.
Miner ran to the spot. He could not
see his child, but his wife was lying
with her face turned up and gasping in
death. Miner at once set to work to
extricate his wife and child from that
terrible position. The branch of the
tree lay across Mrs. Miner and it was
evident the child was beneath the moth
er. The husband, to extricate the wife
and child, was compelled to cut away
the branch, and before he had finished
his task he saw his wife die before his
eyes. He removed her body from be-
meath the tree and found his
child crushed to death, having
been crushed deep into the ground.
The husband, almost frantic, took both
bodies in his arms and carried them a
mile through the woods to his home.

The Montana Dam Disaster.

s'On the morning of August 10th, a
large reservoir, situated about Is miles
from Helena, filed to the brim with
water, gave way, and resulted in ter
rible flood, attended by a great loss of
life and property. The dam, the break
ing away of which caused this disaster,
was situated on the head of Beaver
creek, tributary Of Ten-Mile creek,
which flows downward through mar
row valley or canon into the Missouri
river, and along which was located
numerous farms, ranches, and mills of
various kinds. The dam was built
about six years ago, at cost Of S16, 900
and was simply an earth-work thrown
across the creek and strengthened by
wall Of heavy timber in the center.
The reservoir was built chiefly for min
ing purposes, and was depended upon
for their water supply by hundreds Of
miners. It was in charge Of parties
who had much previous experience, and
was by them considered of great
Thegate-keepers had examined
it on the evening preceding the disaster
and noticed nothing unusual. At about
O'Clock on the fatal morning-,in the
gray of the early dawn-they were
aroused by the rush Of the waters, and
two Of the three men succeed in gaining

Beecher,s ..Life of christn dit

Beecher's life Of Christi did 60
higher than a kite, and the publishers,
]. B. Ford & Co., followed. The Sun
is dragging Mr.. Beecher over the Goals
for his failure to stand by his contract
with Ford. Before he wrote line Of
the, work he received SO, 900 in cash as
consideration for writing two volumes.
One was published. Ford was at great
expense to secure steel plates for en-
cravings, and wood cuts wherewith to
embellish the work, but they remain on
his hands a dead loss. Beecher has
broken his contract, but does not offer
to refund any Of the money. Neither
does he show any inclination to proceed
with the work. Instead of applying
himself like an honest man to the COM
pletion of his contract he has arranged
for fall campaign of lectures, which
will probable net him $40, 900. Ford is
in bankruptcy compounding with his
creditors. Beecher, who helped to ruin
him, is in clover. Queer how crude a
minister's ideas of commercial honesty
sometimes are.

In Colorado they have invented a
dreaoful machine, which has been styled
the Grasshopper's Hell. 1t is fiery
furnace on wheels, made of long and
wide piece of iron, with the lower edge
turned and strapped into u trench or
trough to hold the fire. The upper edge
is arched forward to catch the varmints
as they rise, and cast them on the living
Goals, where they feed the flames for
those that follow them. Thus the grass
hoppers are turned into a means of their
own destruction. The machine-infer-
nal as it is-has failed to keep down the
pests, for their increase beats the devil
itself. When they alight on a field Of
corn, there is no help forjt; they do not
leave the place until it is as clear
as though nothing had been planted
there.

After Arizona Apaches.

Capt. Porter, of the 9Th Infantry, left
Camp Verde under instructions on Au-
gust 18th With detachment Of infantry
and fifteen Indian scouts, in pursuit of
hostile party of Apaches who had left
the San Carlos reservation and commit
ted depredations upon the settlers in
northern Arizona. Porter's command
struck the renegades twenty-six miles
north of Verde and after severe fight
of several hours defeated the Indians.
Their loss was seven bucks killed and
two women and five children captured.
Porter's only loss was one Indian scout
badly wounded. He is still pursuing
and will probably capture or kill the
whole Indian party.

CHEYENNE. WYOMING FRIDAY MORNING Is 1876

the high ground, and turned in time
to see the column of water, 20 feet in
height at this point, strike and over
whelm the cabin containing their COM
rade, sweeping it and him down the
canon. The angry food of rushing
water resistless as an avalanche and
sweeping in a torrent of destruction,
rushed down the canon and into the
valley below, carrying death and ruin
in its train About three miles below
the dam was house containing three
men, who were awakened by the roar
of the food only to rush to the door in
time to meet their doom in struggle
with the angry, rushing water.
About one mile below the cabin was
a farmhouse containing man and a
woman, who were aroused by the thun-
der OF the torrent, and rushed into the
the cai1on as the water struck the house.
The woman was drowned, but the man
after being carried three-quarters of a
mile and horribly bruised, managed to
cling to the branches of tree and save
his life.
Jerry Robinson, one of the gate-keep-
ers, who had been in Helena the night
before the disaster, had started on his
retnrn early that morning. When
about six miles from the dam he heard
the rush of the flood, which was then
about half q mile above him, and
although on foot, he turned and4 sped
down the canon in the face,of theidood,
warning the people as he went, and
thus saving scores of lives. which. but
for his brave deed, would have been
lost.
Five bodies have been found and sew
en- persons are missing and have prob
ably perished.
The loss of property, grain, etc., will
amount to $3.50, 900 at least, and will
probable sum up to $500, 900. The loss
will be hard to bear in these dull times,
and especially SO as these ranches were
among the few on which all the grain
had not been devoured by the grass
hoppers.

OF the many negro camp-meeting
hymns, this printed in the Chicago Tri-
bune is as funny as any:
Why don't you do as Peter did;
A-walking on the sea?
He throwed both arms above his head,
Crying Good Lord remember me.1
Then remember the rich and remember the
poor.
And remember the bound and free,
And when you are done remembering around
Then, good Lord. remember me.
II could stand where Moses stood,
And view the landscape DER,
I'd throw these legs MS fast as could
i. And I'D go for the milk-white shore,
Then remember the rich apd remember the
poor,
And remember the bound and free,
And when you are done remembering around
Then, good Lord, remember me.

QUERY.

viii the members from this county, to the
last General Assembly of tho State, explain
why they opposed the passage of the bill and
thereby defeated the proposition "to proride
good and sufficient .tire-proof rooms for the
safe keeping Of the records Of the county. "
1t is well known to every person in the coun.
ty, and they could not be ignorant of the fact
themselves, that the so-called fire proof rooms
of the Clerks and Registers Office are only
fre.proof in name, and their contents are at
all times in great danger Of destruction. So
true is this that the officials in charge of them
are in constant dread lest fate similar to
what occurred in Baltimore county some years
ago may happen here. The Delegates from
this county are respectfully asked to explain
why they opposed the only local measure of
any Importance affecting the interests of our
people. Were they SO busy all the time at
tending to the wants of others that they could
not find time to look into matter like this ?

Three columns Of troops under the
supervision of Gen. Sheridan, are advanc-
ing into the Indian country, and in few
days we may expect to hear of encounters
with the Sioux. These are the most trolb.
lesome Of all the tribes, and have lately
been committing depredations upon the
Black Hills settlers. They have been so
permitted to depredate with immunity,
that it is probable that nothing short of
severe punishment will teach them the
lesson they so much need.
