Chamberlain, of the Jackson Repub-
lie, don't take to our proposition to get
married. The reason is given by a
correspondent in last weeks Republic,
who says:
Notwithstanding the loftiness of
his aspirations and willingness to con-
tribute to the happiness of as many of
the fair damsels waiting for him as the
law allows, even to tile giving up of
1.-THE half of his Kingdom and the
whole of himself in the largeness of
his heart, he has ever found an impas-
sible barrier to the execution of this
noble deed in his resemblance to
Zacheus, in point of stature. On this
account mainly he has never been able
to lead fair lady to the altar of Hy.

n WORD.
If the present number of the AID.
VANCE does not convince the commu-
nifty that we have heretofore been right
in saying that Wortllington was run
ming into rowdyism and lawlessness we
despair of ever convincing them. Soon.
CT OF later, as we said in q recent mum.
Der, these things must come to head.
Some of our people haye been sowing
the wind and they. will reap the whirl-
wind. We shall see every rowdy and
every invoker of lawlessness 60 down
in disgrace.
On the other hand, We wish to say in
behalf Of the community as a whole,
that all this rowdyism and lawlessness
is condemned. 1t is encouraged by a
minority, some of whom, rs we have
frequently said before, are protesting
Christians, but the community in the
main does condemn this state of affairs.
What We have most deplored all along
was the apparent inability Of the good
element to suppress lawlessness either
by law or public sentiment. But We
believe the hour of our deliverance ap
prOacles.

Mr.. Highland complains that his FAM
lily are almost daily annoyed, and that
their lives are endangered, by shooting
in the vicinity of his house. The shoot
ing is done with revolvers and shot
guns. The excuse, we believe, is that
the parties are shooting ut ducks and
birds in the slough just below the mill.
Tie firing is frequently in the direction
of Mr.. Highlands house and the wind
mill, where parties are continually pass
ing. On Sunday last ball struck in
the weeds near the house and very near
the spot where one of the children had
been standing a moment before. The
house has been frequently struck by
shot. This all takes place within the
corporate limits of the village, and if
there is any law to stop it we hope it
will 6e promptly applied.
Ole Linquist, of Bigelow, recently
had horse afflicted with the scratch
ers. The horse took cold so that one
of his legs swelled and became one
large sore to the hip. The swelling ex-
tended to his body and there seemed
very little chance of his recovery. Mr..
Thompson directed MIR. Linquist to our
friend Charles Chase as a skilled horse
doctor. Mr.. Chase took the horse in
hand, and within five or six days lie
was so far restored that Mr.. Linquist
could work him and he, is now almost
entirely well. Mr.. Chase has a diploma
as Farrier. Mr.. Linqu,st wishes us
to publish this item for the benefit OF
his brother farmers who may need a
skillful horse doctor, and we do 50
cheerfully.

There was another little matinee
down at the depot on Tuesday after
noon. The facts, as we obtained them
from an eye witness, are as follows -
Joe and Will Loveless were getting
coal out of a car. Bill got on one of
the cars and undertook to loosen the
break, when the breakman ordered him
off. Some words ensued, when the
breakman went for him and Bill got
down and run. Joe mixed in from the
wagon where he stood, when another
breakman got up and knocked him
down on his knees and bruised him
some. How the chickens are coming
home to roOst
The conductor of the freight says the
breakmen have been with him several
years and have never before had an al
tercation with any one, and that one
of the Loveless boys provoked the break
men by calling them g son of a b---l. -

The next letter. dated March 10th, six

The facts in relation to this new and
startling evidence have not yet been made

cannot be used in the present trial against

1t is reported that this whiskey swindle
is as extensive fraud as that OF St. Louis

high standing besides Babcock. The
grand jury has been at work upon it, and
over fifty indictments have been found,
including it is said, one against Baocock.
