natives rose masse attacked and killed the guard
released the chiefs, and followed up their victory by
general slaughter, sweeping down on the unsus-

torch and scalping laid waste everything that
came in their way. leaving only chArred and smoking
ruins and mangled bodies to mark the pathway of
their raid. BY the united forces of the friendly

A SrEAMBoAT.-A number of our
German friends have nearly decided to
launch upon the bosom of the Wapsie,
at this place. small steamboat, to car
ry excursionists between this city and
Littleton. A stock company has been
formed, and nearly all the shares taken.
j. w. Buehler has corresponded with .
Milwaukee firm, and ascertained that a
small boat, about thirty feet long,
carrying an engine of four horse power.
can be purchased for $3.50. If it does
not draw too much water. the probabil-
ity is that the same will be steaming up
the Wapsie in the course Of two or
three weeks. Then some nice picnic
grounds can be arranged up the river,
and our people will have the means at
hand Of beguiling away many Of these
dull, sweltering dog-days. We hope our
friends will not let the matter drop.

DIsGRAcED.-A prominent member
Of the Independence Shooting Club-in
fact, the Bogardus of the same,-went
out last Wednesday afternoon to shoot
chickens. Now, there would be no
cause for this article were it not against
the law to shoot chickens before the
first of September. A number of the
other members Of the club having got
wind Of their erring brothers proceed
ing, determined to overtake him with
retributiye justice. About 9 o'clock,
a number of ghostly forms might have
been seen fitting about near the resi-
dence of the doomed member, and. in
fact, were seen by his wife, who. in con-
sequence, was very much frightened,
and with cause, in these days of tramps
and outlaws. Some distance up the
road stood solitary figure, appearing
tall and stern. as it was outlined against
the pale light of the moon. Shortly af-
ter 9 o'clock, loud, clear whistle was
heard to issue from the lips of this SEN
try, and the avengers knew that the
crisis drew nigh. Soon was heard the
roll of wagon wheels, and then light
wagon, containing two men, and q big
load of hay, drew up to the gate. Be-
fore the occupants of the wagon could
alight, they were surrounded by a mob
of memorable and indignant men. They
scattered the hay to the four winds, but
their expectant gaze rested only upon q
couple of guns, and few other sus.
picious "straws." Not a chicken!
There was the evidence that would sat.
isfy all credulous minds, but not enough
to suffice the exacting demands of the
justice. They sadly withdrew, and left
their intended victim to his peace.
OF all sad words Of tongue, or pen,
The saddest Of these are 1T might have been. y

Took HIS Own LIFE.-Last Satur-
day afternoon, Coroner H. H. Hunt re-
ccived a dispatch from Hazleton, urging
him to come to that village Immediately,
to hold an inquest upon the body Of a
man, supposed to have committed sui
eide. DR.. Hunt, started at once, and
found the facts about as follows:
J. F. Dargand, Frenchman, over so
years Of age, living short distance
north of Hazleton, had, on Saturday
morning, taken dose of strychnine, and
was dead. He was a man at times very
Respondent and melancholy, and this
fact is attributed to the death of his
wife two years ago. He was living with
Mr.. Henry Menuey, to whom he had
rented his farm. He had made propo-
sitions to several parties to deed to
them his property in consideration Of
support during the remainder of his
life. On the day before his death he
made the same proposal to Mr.. Menuey,
the father of his tenant, who declined
on account Of the size of his family.
After this refusal, Mr.. Dargand remark.
ed to young Mr.: Menuey that he had NO
friends and might as well die. On
Saturday morning, when Mr.. Oar.
gand was called to breakfast, he replied
that he was not hungry, or that he was
not feeling well, and would not get up
Some time after, he arose, filed a cur
with water at the we'll, and returned te
his room. Mrs. Menuey became
alarmed by his actions, some time after
and called in neighbor who was pass
ing. Together they visited Mr.. Oar
gand's room, and there discovered hin
in the agonies of death. On the table
stood the cup containing the dregs Of /:
large dose or strychnine. Mr.. Dargant
died soon after.
The Coroner summoned jury, and /:
verdict was given in accordance will
the above facts. The deceased leaves
the farm of 40 acres, upon which Mr.
Menuey resides, and about $500 worth
of personal property. He has no rela
tives in 4his country, except step
daughter, who lives in Buffalo town
ship, in this county:
