TERRITORY OF LINCOLN.

Special Telegram Chicago lnter-Ocean.
Washington, March n.-senator Chat
fee, from the committee on territories, has
made a report recommending the adoption
of the bill creating the Black Hills country
into a separate territory, to be called the
Territory of Lincoln. The report is very
interesting. 1t sets forth that in 1875 the
Black Hills country was an uninhabited
wilderness, but gold and silver, with other
valuable minerals, were known to exist
therein. In 1876 the Indians coded to the
United States all Of their rights thereto;

visited by savages, and never by civilized
men, is now the scene of busy life and com

year 1877; and doubtless its population will
be greatly augmented BY immigration dur
ing the present year. 1t contains a voting
population Is large as Montana, and much
larger than Wyoming, Idaho or Arizona.
The committee find that over 1000. 900
in gold was produced from the placer mines
in the Black Hills in 1876, and that be-
between 100000 and 100000 was de-
rived from all sources in that country in
1877. Since the beginning of the year
1877 folty-fve gold-quartz mills, with .
capacity of 800 stamps, and one silver
smelling mill have been erected and are
now profitable employed there, and hat
six other gold quartz mills, with a capacity
Of 400 stamps, are in process of erection,

A VICIOUS DoG,-Miss Knox occupying room
in John owens house on South Cherry street,
was beset and badly injured one day last week
by a large New FOundland dog owned by a Mr..
Kirk, living in the same neighborhood. Miss
Knox, who is an elderly lady of short stature.
was crossing the street. having her shawl drawn
close round her shoulders, and knew Of nothing
till the brute tried to seize her by the throat,
which he probably would have done but for her
shawl As 1t was, he threw her down, tore her
shawl, and his head striking her face bruised 1t
so 1t became black and blue and swelled up bad.
ly It's hard to say what would have been the
result if assistance had not came at once. for the
attack was seen by one or two persons in houses
near at hand The shock TO the lady's nervous
system is quite severe We understand the
owner has now the dog tied,
A little son Of Mr.. L. Boerner was also bitten by
dog. He vehtured into the adjoining yard and
Mesner's dog gave him very ugly, but not dan.
gerous bite In the back one tooth penetrating 10
the spinal column. He is able to be about again.

FGNDLAY FLIRTATIoN.-some time last July,
Mr. John A. PittsfOrd, Superintendent of the Mt
Blanchard Union Schools was married to Josie
Smith, of that place, There does not appear on
the face of this act to be anything wrong But
Miss Lena NJ. Howard of Morrow county, thought
there was something not only wrong, but wicked
and cruel, in this action of the Professors, and
she commenced proceedings against him in the
Hancock Common Pleas Court for breach of
promise Of marriage, laying her damages at SlO,-
OOO The case came up for trial last week, and by
his own letters 1t was proven that he promised to
marry her some time before, and that he was en-
gagged to her up to within less than a month Of
his marriage with another girl that he visited
her frequently that he gave suggestions to her
bridal outfit, and examined and inspected part
of the same; that he vowed repeatedly and often
that he would marry her, God be willing" and
that he finally broke the engagement on the ground
that he had had dream in which notion came
into his brain that 1t would not be good for him
to marry her, and then in less than a month he
went off and married the other girl His letters
further showed that he offered to purchase the
bridal trOuSSedu of the girl he had thus cast off
The case occupied nearly a day in its trial. and
the Jury brought IN verdict Of $500 damages.
This verdict is a barren ideality" in pecuniary
sense, for Mr. p has placed all his property out of
his hands before he married.-C0urter.

Of the man we might never have learned the
number of cats killed However, he took the
precaution to count thirtyone just before the ex.

A GENTLE WORD IS NEVER LOST


"A gentle word is never lost,
Oh, never then refuse one;
It cheers the heart when tempest tossed,
And lulls the cares that bruise one;
1t scstters sunshine DER our way,
And turns our thorns to roses
1t changes weary night to day,
And hope and love discloses.
"a gentle word is never lost
Thy fallen brother needs 1t;
How easy and how small the cost
With peace and comfort speed 1t;
Then drive the shadow from thy cheek,
A smile can well replace it;
Our voice is music when we speak,
With gentle words to grace it,"

BE CAREFUL.-Canton has enjoyed remarka.
BILE immunity from fires during the last few years,
The last fire of consequence was the burning OF
the roof on Balls shops. Almost every town has
an annual large fire. But then maybe this ever
lasting continual "drizzle drozzle," keeps things
in a safe state of humidite. However, If, as is
claimed, large quantities of gunpowder are stored
within the city limits and in close proximity to
the square, which is contrary to the ordinance in
such case made and provided, we might not only
get up a fire, but an explosion. Won't the police
please find out where this powder is and pro-
nounce an anathema against it.
