John RandOlph's Experience in the
Black Hills.

From Mr.. John Randolph, of Jasper
county, who has just returned from the
Black Hills, says the Osceola (Mo.) Sen
ti,ael, we learn of the terrible fate that
befen his company of six miners who
had been seeking the precious metal
among the savages who slew Gen. Gus
ter's band of soldiers Mr.. Randolph
says that there is any amount of danger
in seeking the precious metal. It seems
from his report that his camp consisted
of six miners, and that they had been
working some two months and half,
and had secured about 81, 500, when,
on the evening of tie 21st of July, as
Mr.. Randolph was out prospecting, his
ears were greeted by savage yells from
the direction of the camp, mingled with
the death groans of his companions.
Mounting hill that commanded view
of the camp, which was located in
ravine, his eyes were greeted with the
sight of innumerable savages dancing
around the scalps of his former COM
panions.
Thus finding that the situation was
somewhat dangerous, Mr.. Randolph
crawled into the hollow trunk of tree,
and there remained until morning, when
he went back to the place where the
camp had been. Upon arriving at this
place CHASTITY sight met his view. In
the still and hushed morning twilight
lay the bodies of his companions, stark
naked, scalped and otherwise mutilated,
testifying to the cruelty of the Black
Hills savages. After burying the bodies
of his companions he made his way to
the railroad, having nothing left-every-
thing being destroyed by the savages.

OK Saturday afternoon Of last week wm
Weis, resident of Argentine Genesee county,
was fatally shot by the accidental discharge OF
gun In the hands OF his brother. The two
brothers had been hunting, and on returning
stopped for few moments at the store Of DIR.
Ervey, at Argentine village. While at the
store dog commenced jumping around them,
and finally struck the hammer Of the gun with
his paws, discharging 1t, the ball striking the
deceased just above the left ear and lodging
above the right car. The unfortunate man
was about 2s years Of age.
THE Clam Lake Ne,os says: "A little boy,
the son Of Mrs. Farley, cook at the Mckinney
House, fell into the we'll at the house OF DIR.
Scott. on Wednesday morning last. The well
is sixty feet deep. The boy has had home
with John Sheridan, and is too small to send
for pail Of water, as he is not much larger
than the bucket itself, but John is probably too
lazy to bring water, therefore the cause for
pressing the boy into service. 1t is supposed
that he had the bucket up and was trying to
swing it over the curb, when he lost his bal
ance and was drawn over. He hung to the
bucket and was drawn down. 1t is miracle
that he was net instantly killed. but as sur
prising as it may seem, the only known injury
received was upon meeting the other bucket,
which was on its ascent. his right arm was in
some way caught by it, and the flesh, cords and
muscles torn out in the arm pit, leaving the
bone bare. 1t is severe and painful wound,
yet the bravery exhibited by the boy has scarce
ly parallel, for he was drawn out of the we'll
while clinging to rope with his left hand.
The boy is doing as we'll as could be expected"
MEssRs SULLIVAN AM, Brown, two former
members of the Etna base ball club of Detroit,
have seeded from that organization and Joined
a Canadian club. There is much mourning in
the ranks of the ball-playing fraternity over
the sad event, and Free Press poet drops into
poetry on the situation. His lines are given
herewith:
Now, Mr.. Sullivan come back
Though we have loved to see you curve"
We'd like to see you square.
Your Strike is certainly too base!
All. If you only knew
The while you pitch in Canada
How we pitch into you
oh hearken for the proverb says
That pitchers do have ears
"Come home" "come home :" and dissipate
Our Cass begotten fears
And Mr.. Brown, perhaps you think
You're quite catch" at Guelph,
But did IL e'er occur to you
You're sure to catch yourself?
What was it, pray, that "forced you off ?"
Maybe the need of "rocks"-
All, well, man who gobbles " fowls"
Is sly any fox.
You might have seen with half an eye
But what's the use of that?
In your ability to see
You're quite "behind the bat"
Aut do not think to stop the ball
We're not TO be coerced,
We only grieve didn't think
To "put you out at first"

OF the Independent organization are
scarcely different. All are human
and all are liable to err.
Neither is it true that the exist
ence of these frauds proves that our
system of government is a failure.
Similar corrupt practices have dis
graced every form of human govern
ment. Even the theocracy of the
IsraeGtes was not exempt, as is
shown in the story of the SONS of Eli.
One thing, however, is demonstrated.
If even the most exaggerated state
ments concerning these frauds are
true, it is proved that our govern
ment is competent to detect and
punish the offenders, and that, too,
when these are Influential members
of the dominant party. That even
the President is not only powerless
to shield his friends, but that he
himself may be suspected, accused
and, if guilty, impeached, convicted
and punished. Still more, they
show that the most powerful men,
bers of a dominant party are liable
to be dragged down from their ex-
allied positions and punished for
criminal practices by those Of their
own party. And all this without
revolution and without embarrassing
the government or disturbing pub
lie order.
Instead, then, of weakening our
faith in our system of government
and convincing us that the people
are sunken in hopeless immortality,
these occurrences ought. to be &C.
cepted as evidence that our govern
ment is able to protect itself against
dishonesty, and that there is suf:
ficient morality remaining to lead
the people to detect and punish
crime. But they, likewise, teach
US another lesson, and it is this
that our blind devotion to party is
wrong. But for that fault these
enormities could never have occur
red, for the perpetrators would not
have felt secure. While, then, we
are blaming Joyce, Mcdonald, Me-.
Kee and their co-conspirators for
their knavery, let us not forget to
blame ourselves for our our own fol-
ly, which made their knavery posi-
BILE; and, while they suffer in prison
for their sins, let us repent of ours,
and "bring forth fruits meet for
repentance. II"
