Tuscarora Times Review: We heard
rumors of big find of couple of sacks
of gold ore, which had been secreted in
the Grand Prize mine, but think it I'M
true. The report was that there was
$4,000 in the two sacks and many other
romantic items added to it, but we guess
that there was lots of smoke and small
amount of fire.

Little Story.

The Democratic papers are dissat.
isfed with General Buffers manage.
ment of the Potter investigation, and
they warn the Democratic members
that there is too much Butler and
not enough Potter in the business.
They claim that bluff cid Benjamin
is a mystery. He does not consult
with the Democratic members, and
they don't know what he is driving
at. He is constantly springiug sur.
prises on them, and papers like the
Cincinnati Enquirer express the
fear that Butler will drag the Demo
Gratis into all sorts of scrapes.
Butler was put on the committee
by the Democrats. Mr.. Potter was
yoked TO the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts as q matter of choice. He
was keen to try the experiment, and,
now that be IS being dragged along
as burly Ben wills, he finds it of lit
tie avail to call a halt. The situa-
ton recalls a little story told by the
Rock Island Press,
When the town was q small viii
lsge, and its people had lots Of fun
all to themselves, one of the very So
Der, dignifed citizens put his own
head under one end of a yoke and q
little bulls under the other, to teach
the animal how to be useful and
work. When be found the bull was
running away with him down q dirt
road toward o crowd around the
country store on Illinois street, he
measured sixteen feet at a jump, kept
up with the bull, and yelled at the
top Of his voice: Look out, Here
we come, darn ou- fool souls Head
us, somebody !" and, when halted
and the yoke was being lifted from
his neck, he yelled, "Unyoke the
bull; never mind me. ! will stand.n
So with Mr.. Potter at this june
ture. He was going 10 show Mr..
Butler how to conduct an investiga-
tiou, but now that Butler is running
away with him and bis committee,
be is ready 10 shout: "Stop Butler.
Never mind me. I'll stand."-Inter

IN 1876 the Democrats made Q

The Republicans at the time insisted
thaG the reduction was only temper.
airy, as it was effected not by actual
economy but By Withholding for q time
from some Of the departments appro-
priations which it would be found
necessary eventually to grant. Con.
gresham Foster, of Ohio, shows how
completely the predictions of the Re,
.publicans have been realized. The
appropriations made by the present
Congress are $l2, 600, 600 in excess OF
those made for the two preceding
years, without taking into considera-
ton the deficiency bills. Including
those, the excess over 1876 will be
$25. 000, 600. The whole reduction
which Mr.. Randall claimed to have
effected was between $50, 00O. 900 and
SEQ, 000. 900. In contrast with these
figures it is shown that. in the last
year Of q Republican House, there
was & reduction of SIG, 000, 900 on
the year before, and in the last two
years of $2s, 00O, 600.

which the troops have followed them

THERE is evidently an intrigue
afoot to defeat the denomination Of
Speaker Randall for Congress. I'm
mediately after the Pittsburgh Con-
vention it was announced that Sena-
tor Wallace had determined on lis
rivals overthrow, but this being pre-
mature, was speedily denied by him.
Time enough having since elapsed
to Jay the ropes" the movement
has commenced all along the lie, and
the Speaker is likely to have a
warm time of it. He was rash
enough to kick against the Wallace
"set up" in the State Convention, and
has also exhibited Presidential long
ings, and Wallace will abide no rival
in the party hence Randall must be
crushed. He has bulldog tenacity,
however, and the fight is like to be a
very pretty one before the end is de-
welcomed.

about three miles this side of Au-

agreeing to work the claim on

be came to have a crushing. The

had gone down on the incline about
sixty feet, aud while putting 10 a set
Of timbers q large chunk of the foot

of the astonished miner another
ledge behind the supposed foot wall,
which was filled with gold. Of
course, further sinking was abandon

discovery. A force of men was i'm
mediately put to work on the newly
discovered bonanza. Up to Wednes-
day morning go, 600 worth had been
raised to the surface, as was estima-
