On the night of Oct. both the Sher-
if of Mason county made prepare
tions to move John Carey from the
county Jail to the Penitentiary. Casey
manifested desire to attend q varie-
sty concert which was being given at
Bealrs Hall. The Sheriffin his kind
ness of heart prosecuted to crafty
him, and after handwriting him Sc
curely he went to the hall, and about
the time the performance was over
some one, whether purposely or not is
unknown, turned a lamp over, and
breaking it at. the head of the stairs
leading to the hall, and the flames
bursting up, the alarm of fire was
sounded, which produced q terrible
panic in the audience, and during the
excitement Casey, with his handouts
still on, escaped from the building in
the darkness of the night and is still
at large, with but little hope of re-
capturing him. A gentleman who
was present smothered the flames with
his coat and prevented a probable con-
tlagration.

If there be any truth in the rumor
now current that Mr.. Tilden will re-
fuse to allow the use of his name in
connection with a nomination for any
office, his determination was proba-
bly, reached before what is spoken OF
as the cipher telegram exposure. Mr..
T. is not the man to withdraw in the
face of Islander. One version Of the
story of withdrawal is that he com
municated his intention to Mr.. Hen
bricks, year or SO ago, when the
two men met at Saratoga. But, how
ever various the versions, it may be
safely said that it is current belief
that Mr.. T. has written the letter,
and that he cannot be considered as
in the way of any other gentleman
who desires or whose friends desire
him to be q candidate.

The Taylor County Returning
Board, after q session of several
weeks, has given the result of its la
bors, which show that the vote in ia
yor of removing the county seat
from Pruntytown to Grafton was 81
over the requisite two-thirds. Hence,
we suppose that hereafter Grafton
will be the county seat of Taylor
county. This will no doubt be Diet
rimental to the interests Of some of
the people residing in and near Prun-
tytown, but will be better for q large
majority Of the people of the county.
Grafton is the largest town in the
county and an important railroad
centre, so we think Grafton the prop
er place for the county seat of that
county.

Carl SEIZURE made his second
speech of the campaign in Boston on
Monday of last week. AS in his
Cincinnati speech, he seems not to
have advanced any new ideas on the
finances, the subject on which he
talked, but he grouped together
skilfully the points made by others,
and this, with his attractive manner
of speech, seems to have pleased the
Bostonians. Mr.. Schurz should de-
vote his time to making speeches
No man not born to our language
and habits has ever been more popu-
lar than he. Besides that, it is his
nature to talk, and it is impossible
for him to help thinking about talk
ing, whether he talks or not. And
while he talks and thinks abont talk
ing, his subordinates manage the In
terror Department. To be sure, little
corruption has been discovered dur
ing his term as Secretary, but there
were never before so many delays and
contradiction, or so much vacillation,
in the conduct of business. With it's
present head, or, perhaps, lack of
head, the preparation and discovery
of unprecedented frauds in the Int
rior Department is only a question Of
time

When young man has ascsrtained

A Diver in the Clutches OF a
Devil Fish.

The diver engaged at the Moyne
river, Belfast, in removing the reef had
q rather narrow escape from losing his
lie on Thursday evening, 18th instant.
Happears that MIR. Smale had fired off
charge of dynamite and displaced large
quantity Of stones ct the bottom of the
river lie went down to prepare dor
lifting these stones by the aid of chains
into the punt. Whileengaged in rolling
q large stone he sew something which he
supposed ut the time was o pisce OF
clean-looking kelp moving about in mont
of where he was working. In few
seconds this object came in contact with
the divers arm, about which ii quickly
coiled, partly holding him Immedi-
ately Mr. Smaie touched what was coiisd
round his arm he became aware of his
position, and tried to sextricate himself
from the grasp ,of "ssa1deyil," but
found it far more difficult jab than he
anticipated Catching hold OF the part
hanging from the arm he walked along
the bottom OF the river toward the end
of it, when he saw he was firmly held by
one OF the feeiers OF q large octopus,
better known among sailors as the
q tleviI-fish" Mr.. Smale tried TO pull
tine fiah off IRON its hold on the rookie,
hut without effect dor come time. a
last the fish, perhaps thinking ii had no
got sufficient hold or power upon It's
prey I00sened itself from the stones and
quickly transferred its feelers or arms
around the Divers legs and body. In
this positions Mr.. Smale Thought the best
thing forhim to do was to get upon deck
as soon az possible, and he quickly made
tracks for the ladder which reached from
the deck of the punt to the bottom of the
river. The diver was certainly a curious
looking object when he came up. This
huge, tugiy1iooting thing appeared 10 he
entangled all over him, holding him in g
firm lenlbsace. Hpwever, MIR. Smale's

him from the unEriandly hing of his sub

Is there "Talk and Complaint" about Grant
 ing Injunctions?

The absence of the "old man" from the Enterprise "wheel" yesterday IS perhaps the most charitable excuse for allowing illegal gentlemen here" to make covert attack upon tour new Judge in explanation of their failure in a certain injunction suit. to convince him that they knew all about the law of inlunctions. We are free to confess that we know less about the law governing the matters in question, if possible, than the illegal gentlemen" who have appealed from the Court to the Enterprise for the trial of their cause; but the presumptions are in favor of the opinion that the Judge is cor rect in his deciSions at least, he has better
 nance than otheas to know the right, and no one, competent to judge, who has ob- served his action thus far on the bench will doubt his ability and inclination to decide correctly every question submitted to bim. Ourob ;ervatiOn has been that ''legil gentle men here," as well as elsewhere, who are constantly at war with the Court are gen.r ally those who either have bad causes in Court. or % into Court with their cases poorly prepared. Some one has said that the Lord is on the side eff the army that has the longest guns, and we think he might have added that the Court is on the side of the lawyer who has the best cause, and who does the best work. If the object of this attack is to frighten ''onr new Judge" into decisions not sustained by his under sta ding of the law, it will be a worse de feat than they met in the Court room, or ve are deceivs>. in the material of which the Court is composed.
