FROM NIILLBURY.

Ed. JOURNAL Our place at present has sew
eral things to sneak of that will try to tell
YOU about. The first to mention is the tramps.
Two members of that interesting fraternity fa-
vored our town with call last week but left
quite suddenly. 1t seems that Mr.. VIM. ].
Bailey, the hardware man, gave Mr.. Astry a
pair Of shoes to mend. Mr.. Astry, who carries
the mail to and from the depot, took them to
his house and left them on his porch until lie
took the mail over to the train. While gone the
tramps went to his house and captured the
shoes. On returning, Mr.. Astry discovered
the loss and went up town aud informed Mr
Bailey, who Immediately started out after the
tramps, one Of whom he caught near the stave
factory. The other took to his heels, but Mr..
Greeley ordered the factory bows out, who soon
compelled him to stop. Both were then
brought to town, aud the boys scared them so
town on a run The last seen of them they
were still running toward the East.
Another squad of them tried to enter the
house Of Mr.. ) llas George, but the women, no
had considerable pluck, welcomed them with
the contents Of revolver, unfortunately miss
ing them. The people should load up theiC
revnlvers and shot guns aHd prepare TO give
them warm reception.
John Scott filled hinself too full Of benzine
last SATURDAY night and made too much dis
pav nj his revolvers threatening to shoot Mr.
Jake Miller, in consequence of which a warrant
was issued against h m and he now languisheth
in the cooler His trial will take place To day.

Rev. Mr.. Ilill, John Wilson aud Minnie Seak-
ings were Ted FOR life. Success. This seems

are that the preachers viii have their stock sf

LINDSAY, were being driven on Town St,
Columbus, and when turning the corner
into Seventh street their carriage came in

At was first thought that Mr. LINDSAY was
not seriously Injured, but after medical aid
was Summoned il was asoertained that he
had received internal injuries, which re-

PIERCE PRovosT, who is mentioned in
the dispatches on the first page rs having
been suspected of numbering the VACELET
family, near Vincennes, Ind, committed
suicide in his cell on the Goth ult,, by
hanging himself with a towel. The jury
was busy the day before in taking evidence
in the case, and everything pointed to
PRovosT as the guilty wretch. The
French Catholic Priests received his con
fession the day before. Excitement was
great and it was thought u mob would
have taken him from the Jail and hung
him on the day following the suicide. A
correspondent OF the Toledo Commercial
says;
All that is known OF Provost is that he
was one Of the Commune OF France, and
as such was arrested and imprisoned, and
that he was liberated on New Years day
by President McAIaIIon, and came directly
to this country, since which time he has
lived with the Nacelet family. And he

within a few days, at one OF the legations
there most likely to be informed in regard

England and Russia could not now lie

while the county seat was yet in Perrys-
