The EsQuimaux Dog.

An Esquimaux dog seems to DO an
expensive luxury. On tho return OF the
Pandora from the franklin search ex-
petition, Captain Allen Young brought
back with him fine specimen OF the
Esquimaux dog, on which he set great
value. The animal one day got loose,
and for long time was at large in the
neighborhood OF Southampton. The
Hampshire farmers, taking it for wolf,
turned out en- n,asse with guns and
sticks, and killed the poor brute. A
long bill for depredations committed by
the animal was also handed to Captain
Young. who had to recompense the SUI
fering agricalturists. On the recent re-
turn of the Pandora from the Arctic re-
gions, Lieut.. .Arbuthnot brought home
a fine EsquiManx dog, the "king of the
pack" On November 20 the animal
got away, and caused much alarm, being
as in the case Of Captain
Young's dog, for wolf. 1t paid visit
to farm at Broomhurst, gobbling up
four ducks and killing fifth, bat was
soon after recaptured.

Wanted TO 60 to Sea.

The New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury
says A en-year-old lad, whose home is
in au interior township, decided to
crafty long cherished desire for u life
on the ocean wave, and with this intent
ran away from home, taking the over
land route to this city, where he ar
rived Thanksgiving day, after walk of
some forty-five miles over rough coun-
try roads. A tour of inspection along
the wharves and among tho tarry ma
riners was enough to convince him that
a sailors life was not what fancy had
painted it, and that evening he tarncd
his tired feet homeward, thoroughly
cured of his infatuation. His advent at
the homestead was the cause OF great
among his parents, who, i'm
aginiug that the fate of Charley Ross
was his, had extensively advertised the
stray lamb.

lug October, 1876. On the other hand
the total exports for the month amount
at q currency valuation to $50, 957, $40,
which is 50, 223, 234 more than in Octo-

cline in the ratio of increase in foreign
shipments of domestic products; still
the excess of exports over imports has
been steadily accumlating during the
year. Extending the survey over ten
months of the year We find that the i'm

during the corresponding period last

Obituary..

CoRFMAS.-At her residence one mile North Of
Toledo, Iowa, Of Apopexy, July 3oth, 1875.
Catherine Corfman was born in Perry
County, Ohio, June 22d, 1918; she was
therefore in her 59th year. At the age
of 90 she experienced Religion and united
with the Ebenezer Baptist Church Sciote
Association, Ohio. In 1852 she immi-
grated to Iowa with her husband and
family where she has since resided.
On Friday morning at s o'clock she was
striker, and shortly after became paral-
lied and after "A hours of unconscious
ness passed away. For rs years she had
been great sufferer much of which time
she was confined at home. She leaves a
husband and six children; brothers and
sisters, and large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss, which to
her we believe is eternal gain. She was
a loving sister, faithful wife, an affec-
tionate mother, sympathizing friend,
and though quiet and unassuming, an
earnest and devoted Christian.
The occasion of her funeral, occurring
on Sabbath afternoon, July Both, at 5
O'Clock was improved by her Pastor, Rev.
II. A. Brown to a very large concourse
of people at the Baptist Church; from
Luke 1912. woman, thou art leosed

BASE BALL.
The Toledo Club Victorious.

The Toledo and lama City Base Ball
Clubs played another game last Friday
afternoon for purse of $50, and as we
expected, victory perched upon the banner
OF the Toledo Club. The Toledos re-
membered their defeat of the previous
week and went down to lama City de.
termined to regain what they had lost.
There was quite crowd in attendance,
and we understand some "chin music"
was INDUCED in by parties on both sides,
though without any serious results. The
game was well contested by both clubs,
and at its close the score stood Toledo
y; lama City 81. The scorers were Mr..
Murray of lama City and Frank New
conner of Toledo. The Umpire was Mr..
Nickson from Atlantic At the close of
the game the lama City Club with the
assistance of the spectators gave three
Tousing cheers for the Toledo Club.

Husband Attempts to Murder His Wife.

There was a villainous attempt to COM
init murder in the residence of Mr.
frank Bently, on North Centre street last
Saturday evening. The fiend who at
tempted the terrible deed is known as
stephen r. Meeks, his intended victim
ma mas been his wife for twenty eight years!
The cause of the deed is said to be, Mrs.
Meeks having applied for divorce from
her husband on account of his continued
neglect and cruelty to herself and family
oi winch she has for many years been
we main support. In the excitement oc-
casloned by the affair the would-be assas-
SIN was allowed to escape and has not
oeen heard from up to this time, and it is
reared by Mrs Meeks that he is still lurk-
ing IN the timber near the Iowa river, and
that ne will yet return to accomplish his
iuIl design. Meeks is described as being
. ieet inches in height, weighs $50, has
d scar near the left eye and another one
IN IN inc wrist, has dark eyes, sandy hair
nghtly mixed with gray, wears a gray
mustache and chin whiskers. In his
speech there is light Kissing impedi-

The villain afterwards, we understand
came in and gave himself up to the

any man ever deserved hanging he does.
