AN Oshkosh paper gives it Is an
actual fact that that city is the place
where q cat took the mumps by
sleeping with child who was trou-
bled with the decease. The child
was entirely cured on waking in the
morning, while the cat was swollen
to mammoth proportions, and, after

CAT BITEs.-An exchange tells Of
q woman of its town who was bitten
some weeks since Dy an angry cat
and died after lingering at deaths
door about a week. It was at first
thought that her disease was hydro
phobia, but afterward her physicians
rather doubted this. A post mortem
examination, however, proved that
tho cat-bite was at least in q great
degree responsible for the cause OF
her death.

THE following account Of q stab
bing atfray, which took place at Lin
den on 9th ult., is about correct as
far as we can learn:
1t seems that man named Taull
was in Capt. Richard Flynn's hotel,
making disturbance, and had been
put out doors by the proprietor, and
that the two men had a set-to
outside. A Mr. Webb, passing at
the time, sought to part them, and
interfered for that purpose. Before
accomplishing his object, however,
Flynn, discovering that he had been
stabbed, caught hold of Webb and
pulled him inside of the house, and
running behind the bar he produced
a weapon and addressed him, threat
eniugly, as fallovsi "You stabbed
me-" 40" asid Webb, at is you
who have stabbed me-" Several par
ties had congregted at the hotel by
this tims, when u examination was

made and the fact brought to light,
that both Flynn and Webb were
stabbed--one in the fore part and the
other in the hindpart of the thigh,
neither of the wounds being serious.
Atlast accounts Flynn was out, while
Webb was confined to his room. No
arrests have been made as yet, as
the mystery as to who did the stab
bing has not been solved. Taull is
said to be very quarrelsome fellow,
and was recently hauled up before
Justice Heathcock, of Linden, and
fined $40. A lodgment behind sew
eral strong bars would probably do
him some good. Capt. Flynn is o
gentleman and has the reputation Of
keeping good and orderly house.
Hon. W. L. Lincoln, of Avoca, has
been appointed Indian agent for the
Gros Ventres Indians, at the Fort
Belknap Reservation, Montana, and
will start for that destination some
time in this month. While We con-
gratulate both Mr.. Lincoln and the
Indian bereau on this appointment,
we cannot but express the regret
which must DO generally be felt by
our people that we are to lose him
from our county. In all the various
walks Of life his presence will be
much missed by on extensive circle
Of friends. But poor Lo must be
taken care of, and Uncle Sam must
have good men to attend to the bus
mess. So We bid Mr.. Lincoln God
speed, nothing doubling that his
official acts will reflect credit alike
upon himself and the position.r

ALL HAIL.-Ditierent exchanges

springtime, aud to bring them to-
gether is our object: Tho warm
season comes on apsce and the light
ming rod man invents q bag.ful Of

districts to devour tha substance OF
the unwary granger; the book agent
prances about with a Hendish desire
to persecute mankind; the poet
swoops down on the honest, hard
working newspaper man with his
"Ode to S-;" about these days the
able-bodied males gather on the
public highways and tell naughty
stories and call it working out tn cir
poll-tax the geutler sex play cro-
quet nineteen hours per day, and
talk scandal at tho rate OF fifteen
knots on hour; Benedict, the mar
ried man, snatchss his meals on tho
fly, while his softer half is in tho e.
stacies Of "spring cleaning;" the
fashionable young blood hics him
self under the bal Der and comes
away with bis hoad resembling q
beautiful billiard ball; the man who
maketh garden crieth "shoo !" to
his neighbor's hens; the alamagooz-
elum soda fountain fzzlcs in tho
drug store, and the ice-cream man
imposes on the swain and weaknesses;
the turkey-gobbler swells with i'm
portance, and innumerable small
boys career friskily around. dressed
in straw hats and holy pantaloons
the mixer Of ungodly beverages set
teth green blind before his door -.
the old man ariseth in the morning
and beholds bis front cato hanging
by one hinge, and the old mans
daughter keepeth her own council !:
the young man is often seen in a
brown study as to how he is to get
$40 spring suit on 80 per week
salary, the bull-frog croaks dismally,
and the Thomas cat yowls with re-
newed energy; and the extension Of
the Mineral Point Railroad is heard
on every hand. BY these signs does

MARTINS FERRY.-A shooting ARRAY
occurred on last Saturday night at
Rainey's coal works, two miles above
here, resulting in one man getting a
severe wound through the hand. From
an interview with the party who did the
shooting the facts appear TO be about as
follows: Last Saturday was pay day at
the coal works, and whisky flowed freely,
and some OF the miners got up dance in
an unused house. During the course Of
the evening George W. Hercules went to
the dance in search Of his wife. As
soon as lie entered the room some
one struck him, and others joining In he
was forced into the yard, where several
set upon him, knocking him down and
kicking him in brutal manner, when
he drew a revolver and fired two shots
one passing through q mans hat rim and
the other through the hand Of William
Brown, who was trying 10 qaell the dis
turbance. This ended the hight. Brown
came to town and had a warrant issued
and Officer Mcfarland went up and ar'
rested Hercules and put him in the lock
up until Monday, when he was brought
before Justice Eagleson and at THE
| writing the trial ia still in progress.
