from bte CHtd HcIdsdt ONtg 10.
II. =. Streeter of Gray, Herkimer county,
a highly-educatcd physician, having been crimi-
nally intimate with "a NUMBER OF mis- patients,
young aud old, has been driven from the town.
His crmss were exposed by glrl OF fifteen
summers, whose mother had sold her tn hin.
After the discovery the doctors wife abandoned
him, with her two children, a girl Of ten ami a
boy OF six years. Tho neighOoTs. aroused,
threatened to hang the offender. lie fled To
Herkimer putting his whip to the horse the en-
tire distance. As he mas since said, he expected
to hear the report Of riho or feel the sting OF
bullet at every step OF the way. On arriving at
Herkimer his horse was exhausted, but he
dared not trust himself ON board railroad
train. He hired horse ana drove to Utica,
where he took aroom ard locked himself up.
All day on Saturday he kept his room, refusing
to take any food.
On saturday night the Doctor prevailed upon
an acquaintance to try to settle the case for
him he WAS willing to quit town forever, but

PRIMITIVE WARFARE.
Interesting Proposition bv Montenegrtn TO
Wounded Russian Onicer.


The Montenegro method OF making war
their country, aud studied 1t, tells us that a
Montenecrin never sues for mercy: and when
ever one of them is severely wounded, and Il Is
impossible to save him from the enemy, his own
comrades cut on his head. When at the attack OF
Clobuck, small detachment OF Russian troops
WIS Obliged to retreat, an officer Of stout make,
and no longer young. fell on the ground from
exhaustion. A Montenegrin, perceiving IL, ran
immed ttey TO him, and, having drawn his Vata-
gan, said. you are very brave. and must wish
ana make sign Of the Cross" The officer,
horrined at the proposition, made an enort
TO rise. and rejoined his comrades with
the ass stance OF the ftiendly Montene-
CRIME. They consider all those who have
been taken by the enemy killed. They
carry out Of the battle their wounded com
rade- on their shoulders. Arms. q small loaf Of
bread, cheese, some garlic, a little brandy, an
old garment, and two pair Of sandals made Of
raw hide. form all the equipage OF the Monten-
egrins. On their march they do not seek any
shelter from rain or cold. In rainy weather tho
Montenegro wraps aronnt his head the strOOki
q shawl OF coarse cloth, lies down on the
ground and, putting his ride under him, sleeps
pose are quite sufficient for his rest and the re-
mainder VI his time II occupied in constant
exertion. IL Is impossible Ito retain tthem
IA the reserve, and II seems that they
cannot calmly bear the view OF the enemy. The
tactics Of the Montenegrius are confined to be-
ing sSilful marksmen. A stone, a hole, a tree
oner them a cover from the enemy. Firing usu-
ally In PROSTATE position on the ground, they
are not easily HIT, white their rapid and sure
shots carry destruction into the closed ranks of
tised eye for judging OF distance, and tho rougn-
ly understand how to take advantage OF the
ground. OF course II will always be dim cult to
employ such warriors against regular troops.
