"GOUGlNG" FOR A GIRL.-We have
heard and read of rivals duellins for
the possession of fair lasses, but new
er, until last Saturday night, had
the opportunity to be an eye witness
OF such a contest. Only recently o
dancing party was given in one of
our city halls, to which a young man
of Mineral Point escorted his idol.
During the evening q rival sprung
up, who proved hero, capturing the
maiden completely. The sleepless
nights and dreary days which natur-
ally follow in cases of this kind, so
fomented and poisoned the feelings
of the discarded lover, that he be-
thought Sampson of himself, and
entered the war path with determin-
ations to win and conquer. The
trail led him past Mr.. Horns saloon,
where he met and challenged his ad-
versary. After the words necessary
before the parlay, (which for love
of decency we will omit,) cat it they
went" Our Sampson was, in the
course Of events, sent on sprawling
expedition. He recovered, however,
and made secapd charge, this time
with more success, doing unto others

THE quotation below giving an
account of how q fellow, who lives
DER the Grant county line, was

to serve as warning to oil bullies !:
"Ten in number completes the

side Of the neck, commencing near
the center of the nape cut nearly
through the heavy muscles, thence
forward . little below the ear, barely
missing the large arteries, veins, ETC.,
in that region striking about Or o
little above the angle of the jaw,
thence across the cheek to within
about an inch of the nose. This
wound is eight inches or more in
length, and gaping at the widest
point one and one-half inches or
more. Another wound on the left
shoulder blade over Ave inches in
length, nearly perpendicular, not
deep. A stab in right thigh deep and
dangerous. A cut on the left thigh.

There were two scalp wounds and
two fingers cut, also cut on the
posterior part Of the right thigh
above the knee-joint as we'll as cut

TEMPLE OF HoNoR.-Last Thurs
day evening was the time set for in
stituting On order Of this kind in
our midst, and arrangements being
made with the members of the order
at Darlington to be present, the reg.
ular evening train brought hither a
full hundred bright, sober and fine
looking men from the neighboring
city. On landing at the depot here
they formed q procession, each hol d.
ing at right shoulder shrift, torch
light, headed by the Mini Point band.
The command was given and they
marched up Commerce st. to High,
up High as far as the U. s. Hotel,
thence back to the Good Templars'
hall. The mildnees of the atmos-
phere and the curiosity natural to
mankind, brought out good ma
jority of our citizens, who stood in
clusters on the walks, gazing at the
proud tsmplars as they passed by.
After assembling at the hall the
Grand Deputy proceeded to issue =
charter according to application
made, and we now have in Min eral
Point al order called tho Temple of
Honor, with over forty members
and 60 signers. They held posses
sion Of tho hall until the clock tolled

friendships never to bs unfettered.

I admit that was connected with the
"banking Transaction" of A. g. Bradley with
Geo. Frost, OF Apple River. and PA. Orton, of
Darlington but, sir, assert IN. innoeencs Of
any malicious or felsnious intent to deftaud
either of those gentlemen. I formed the &C.
quaintancc of Bradley In Platteville, where
was informed he was engaged ass stock dealer.

time was out Of employment, and In con.
versation with him be asked me II was &C.
quainted in the vicinity Of Darlington and Ap-

cattle near Gratiot, Wis.,, which were TO be
delivered In few days. He asked me II de-
sired employment, and ofFercd'me situation,
which accepted. went to Darlington with
him and there was told by Budley that he de-
sired to transact some business at the bank,
and desired me to introduce him 10 Mr.. Orton.
which did, never suspecting for moment
that there was anything wrong. What his
Transactions (or attempted transactIons) were

day he said he would 20 to Gntiot and com.

out of Darlington few miles he suddenly de.
ternined to visit Apple River, stating that he
had not sufficient money to pay for the cattle.
and desired to have draft cashed. 4 intro.
