A TUSSLE WITH A MANIAC.-The 8
o'clock, A. NJ, freight train from the
east, last Tuesday, brought from a few
miles north of Dubuque, a lunatic to be
confined in the Hospital in this city, and
two attendants. He was a German, and
very heavy and strong, and his attend
ants made no disguise of the fact that
they were afraid of him, and wanted to
get him off their hands. He was taken
to the Merchants Hotel, where he re-
manned quiet until about 5 o'clock, when
he concluded he would take a walk, and
started, his attendants not venturing to
stop him, but following a safe distance
behind. He went over the river and
was making for the woods north of
town, when one of the attendants came
back after assistance. He secured night
Waterman Gates and johnny Donovan,
who went after and succeeded in getting
him back to the hotel, after a sharp
struggle. Immediately upon his arrival
at the hotel, he commenced to show
signs of fight, rushed out into the
street, screaming at the top of his voice,
picked up a large rock, and threatened
total humiliation to any one who ven
tured near him. Forty Davidson and
Johnny Donovan, who work in Curtis
livery stable, neal by, were attracted by
the noise, and upon ascertaining what
the cause Of the trouble was. volunteer
ed to capture and tie the maniac. Then
came the tug of war. The boys succeed
ed in getting near to him, and then, by a
sudden movement, both grappled with
him. The fellow fought like a tiger, and
screamed constantly. At that early hour
but few were up at the hotel, and win
dows were raised and heads thrown out,
and fair ones in the most distracting
dtshoJiWe entreated the boys not to kill
him. But the boys had their hands full
in protecting their own lives. They fin
ally succeeded in throwing him to the
ground, and by choking him till he was
black in the face, conquered him. He
was then tied, and taken to the Hospital
by a strong guard.

DREW AT WATERLoo.-The Water
loo papers come to us this week, filled
with glowing accounts of the successful
labors of j. w. Drew, for the cause of
temperance in that city. He was in the
city only little more than a week, but
during that time, he succeeded in in
ducing 3,Ol4 persons to sign the pledge
and don the blue ribbon. 5000 of the
signers have organized themselves into
a Reform Club, and subscribed a liberal
amount of funds to furnish up a club
room. Mr.. Drew, was assisted in his
Iabors by Fred Getchell, a young bust
ness man of Des Moines, and Mr.. B. T.
Frost, editor of the Blue Ribbon Gazette,
of Des Moines. He left for the latter
city last Tuesday night. We under
stand that efforts are being made to in
duce Mr.. Drew to hold a series of meet
ings in this city. We hope they may
be successful.

Gin the Spring a Young Mans Fancy
Lightly Turns to Thoughts of Love-"
Since our last issue, another happy
twain have been made one, and another
couple have been united to taste the
sweets of welded bliss. The thigh con
tracing parties" this time, include a
young man who has stood foremost in
the business and social circles of indie
pendcnce for a number of years; who
has, by strict integrity and attention to
business, risen from the rank of a clerk
in which, unfortunately, so many of
the young men all over the land seem
doomed to remain--to that of the jun
Tor partner of one of our leading dry
goods houses. He counts his friends by
the score in independence, and we know
OF no young man among us more worthy
the esteem of all than he. The fair
bride was chosen from among the gal
axy of young ladies of this city, and the
choice does credit to our friends judy
ment. She is quite widely known
throughout the city, and popularity es-
teemed for her many good qualities of
mind and heart. The couple are very
appropriately and happily matched, and
n their friends will unite in wishing
them a blissfuI realr.zation of their
bright hopes and expectations for hhaapr-
piness, and that there may be just
clouds enough in their lives to make the
sunshine seem the brighter.
The nuptial ceremonies took place at
the residence of Mr.. W. H. Chamber
lin, on the west side of the river, on
Thursday afternoon Of this week. The
parties to the contract were Mr.. Edwin
B. Backus, of the firm of Chamberlin &
Backus, and Miss Lissa S. Wilson, a
sister of Mrs. Chamberlin. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. w. B.
Phelps, of the Presbyterian church. A
few of the most intimate friends of the
bride and groom were present. After
the ceremony was over, the company
partook of a few refreshments, which
had been prepared, and then accompa-
MED the couple to the B., G. R. & N.
where they took the train to &C.
dar Rapids. Their intention is to go to
Omaha, and other points of interest in
the west, and to be absent about a week.

NORTH WEST.


CORRESPONDENTS of the Dubuque
papers from this city are censuring
Sheriff Van Orsdol quite strongly for
the shooting of Mcclure, which we
chronicled last week. We think that
if the Sheriff had the slightest suspicion
that a revolt was to be made by the
prisoners, he was perfectly justified in
using the means he did to prevent it.
His experience with escaping prisoners,
has been rather unfortunate, and we
think, the public will uphold him in the
determination to have no more of it.
Further, the prisoners confined in the
jail were becoming u~nmanageable, and
the course the Sheriff persued, while,
it was rather severe, still had a tendency
to put a ~quencher upon their riotous
actions, and to teach them that they
have got to be obedient while they re-
main in his care. 1t is all very well to
critlcise a man in the performance of a
Sherif's duty, but when it comes to be-
ing constantly watching ten or twelve
men of the character of those confined,
and subjected to their insults and devil
tries, it is a horse of another color.

AMENDE HONORABLE.-We stated
two weeks ago in our article in rela-
ton to the accidental shooting of young
Oliver near Jesup, than competent sur
glcal assistance was not summoned on
the case until DIR. Wilson of this city
was called. This was the idea we de-
rived from our informant's account Of
the accident, and we supposed that no
surgical assistance was at hand until DR..
Wilson's arrival. We are informed by
DR.. Wilson, however, that DR.. Fiske, of
Jesup was in attendance from the first,
and that he did all that could be done,
to relieve the sufferer. Some of the
shot had entered through the breast
bone, and it was impossible to remove
them, consequently nothing was accom-
plished in that direction, either by DR..
Fiske or DR.. Wilson. We are pleased
to make this reparation for our incor-
rect statement, and to assure DIR. Fiske
that we meant far from casting an insin-
uation upon his professional ability,
or surgical skill.
