A Strange Freak.

A Strange Freak.
Early this morning young man. named Will
liam Nichols, living with his mother in dwelling
on Laurel street, at the Of Peoples Hall, com
mitted strange and somewhat pcrilous freak
He was sleeping in room in the second story
when, becoming possessed with some unheard of
notion, gave loud cry and sprang from the open
window to the ground, distance of fifteen feet,
and Immediately ran towards Sprague's boarding
house, rushing against the front door with great
force and smashing two squares of glass. The
noise attracted the attention of the neighbors who
conducted him back to his room and summoned
physician. The young man was very weak after
his flying leap, and it seems remarkable that ne
received no serious injury, slight flesh wound on
his foot being the only injury he sustained. He
says that he knew what he was doing but had no
power to control himself. The physician feared
repetition of the act and he was obliged to be
guarded. The cause of the strange freak is as
signed to the effects Of some ale which he drank
yesterday.

Mr. EDITOR We find the following notice in

caucus held at Clinton, August 9Th, to elect dele

"At a republican caucus held here last Satur-
day, Lindsey delegates were chosen, &C. IL
seems that Blaine, Stevens, Bigelow & Co., have
lost point.

The inference to be drawn from the above is,
! that Mr.. Blaine was in some way personally IN
tercsted in the result of little town caucus IN
the town of Clinton, an idea so completely absurd
and false as to appear foolish. 1t is only another
specimen of the lies which democratic papers
delight to publish regarding Mr.. Blaine. The

| vilest sort, whose god is combination Of new
rum and certain kind of democracy as taught by
the Ben Hills and Sam Tildens.
| In order to show the persistent hatred of this
man and men of his stamp. towards Mr. Blaine,
some of his own brutal language, uttered a short
time since in the presence of several citizens of
! Clinton, will suffice "God d-n him, (neaning
| Mr.. Baine) God has struck him dorm to punish
him, and hope to God he rW de-" and other
language unfit to be written. Such the
style of men who seek every opportunity to place
in false light the name Of the Hon. James G.

| honest republicans of Clinton than that Of any
other American citizen, all OF which is well-known
