THE NEXT CONGRESS-.
The Result Ia Ohio and Indiana
Democratic Majority Assured In the
HOuss.

House.
Prom the -. Louis Times1
Some Republican organs attempt 20 break
the force 81 the Democratic victory Of last
week by pointing 10 the Republican gain in
Congressmen- A. far a. Indiana i con-
oerned, they have nothing 10 boast Of but
the success Of an infamous gerrymander.
The Democratic msjOrities on the Con-
gressiOnal vote are about 1900 more tnan
the Republican mslOrities. The Democrats,
therefore, are fairly entitled 10 al least seven
OF the thirteen districts. and would have
them n a Republican Legislature had not
defeated the will 81 the people. II the Re-
pubhcans are wise. they Will not boast Of
this sWindle. Indiana j. even more largely
Democratic on the Congressional vote than
on the state ticket, aud il j. not the fault Of
the people that the Democrats have not a
majority ~ the C0ngressmen. Ia Ohio the
Congressional vote j. truer expression Of
the popular will.
But nobody j. absurd enough To suppose
that the Democrats have expected or now
expect 20 retain the Congressman and the
maiorities that were given 10 them In 1874.
That election was entirely exceptional. II
surprised every body. the Democrats no les
than their opponents. Where thew had
hoped for a majority OF ~, they were as
founded by majority % ~. They had re-
ceiyed far more than they expected. and

Republicans largely Abstained from voting,

A Brave Woman.

The PictOu (OntariO) Times gives the
following account Of the goring to death
by bull Of Mr.. Aaron Z. Cameron, of
Hitler: Il appears that Mr.. Cameron
was taking a bull from the field 20 the
stable. When near the door II the
stable the brute became enraged and
made an attack upon Mr.. Cameron.
who ran from him, and AZ the same
time called his dog and endeavOred to
urge him to an attack upon the bull
Mrs Cameron happened to hear her
husbands call 10 the dog, and II once
ran To his assistance. When she reach
ed the spot the Infatuated beast had
Knocked Mr. Cameroa down and was
gorlng and treading upon him in
frightful manner Mr.. Cameron mad
struggled hard TO defend himself. and
had caught hold Of the ring Inserted in
the animals nose This he held with
death-like grip, when Mrs. Cameron
came up. In an instant the brave and
noble woman took in the whole situa-
ton, and made an effort 20 rescue her
husband that can only challenge our
wonder and admiration. She. with
great effort. released Mr.. Cameron's
grip upon the ring. and, taking a firm
hold upon IL herself, literally forced the
bull away, and, as were, literally
him 10 the field again, where
she fastened him in. There was no one
TO assist her except a little boy. who
was able 10 do nothing more than open
and close the gate She then returned
10 her husband, and carried him, bruis-
sf and mutilaied, 10 the house. The
saddest feature Of all is that the vicious
brute had done is work only too well.
Nir. Cameron survived but short time.

Arden Items.


The health Of our village and
neighborhood is generally good, and
no need of doctors at present.
Our roads are improving, so much
that Bank President has extended
his evening rides a little North Of
Arden. There must be some attrac-
ton.
John Aiken, jr., Thomas Linton
and George i. Brady arrived here
last Thursday from near Mount
Morris, Illinois. They were much
pleased with their Western trip
On Thursday of last week, Mr..
William S. Miller lost valuable
horse from collie. Friend Miller has
our sympathy.
On the night of Thursday of last
week stranger arrived at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Charles Sencindiver.
They haven't named him yet. SUI
pose it will be Samuel j Tilden Hen
bricks Sencindiver.
The nominations of both political
parties have been made,and the man
that can swallow whole ticket must
go it blind, or is easily pleased. We
predict good deal of cross firing ON
the I'd Tuesday of October.
The latest thing out is ssPeaches"
advice to Arden and Bunker Hill, ii
they want notoriety, to join Darkes-
vile. We already stand as high in
the estimation for Office as we can
get. If Bunker Hill has any desire
To- such notoriety as Darkesville can
give, we will trade our half off for a
"dog purpn and then shoot the purp.

cut a white oak tree on the line be-
tween VIM. S Miller and M X Pit
GERS, which measured 8 feet in diam
alter across the butt and Is feet in
circumference. Judging from the
number of rings or years of growth,
it -lust have been here when Christie
pher Columbus discovered the coun-
try. A colony of bees had taken up
their abode in the top. The fruits of
their labor went with the log to the
saw mill, whilst the bees went where

the former place and Washington !;
four between Washington and Point
of Rocks, and the remainder between
Cumberland and Keyser, Rowles-
