A Mans Fight with Four Savage Dogs.

At three o'clock in the afternoon
August Munchausen, while passing
Edward Fishers farm and dairy, near
the corner of Thirty-fTst and Wallace
streets, was set upon by four vicious
dogs, one large bulldog, which are al
lowed to run at liberty. The bulldog
sprang for his throat, and fastened his
fangs into the tieshy part of the right
arm, which the man threw up to protect
himself. He seized the animal, and,
choking it off as best he could, held it at
arms length away from him, but despite
these efforts his arms and shoulders were
lacerated in a most horrible manner,
the bones of the forearm being laid bare,
and the fingers chewed almost to pulp.
While he was engaged in battling with
this ferocious antagonist, three other
dogs, all of good size and strength, kept
biting his legs, tearing the flesh into
shreds. Two men who were in the
neighborhood heard Munchausen's cries
for help and ran to his assistance, but it
was not until they shot the bulldog dead
that he was compelled to release his
hold. MunchauseA was taken to his
home, near the corner of Kossuth and
Wallace e, where he received both medi-
cal and sur gical attendance. His iniur-
les are so serious that his recovery is
improbable, 1t is needless

The Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot says:
Most of our city readers will remember
Benjamin Singerly, Esq, formerly pro-
plietor of the Daily State Journal and
State printer for term of years, who
died suddenly after travelling from Phila-
delphia to Pittsburgh one very hot day
about two years ago. Mr.. Singerly was
a very heavy man, weighing from $50
to 400 pounds. He was inferred at Pitts
burgh. A few weeks ago the relatives
of Mr.. Singerly made preparations to
have him resurrected and taken to Phil
adelphia, where his parents and other
relatives are buried. When the hands
to whom the work of raising the body
was intrusted dug down to the top of the
casket they were surprised to find that
no offensive odor prevailed-a circum-
stance that makss it unpleasant at any
time to take up dead people in order to
carry them from one point to another.
The rough box was opened, but the at
tempt to remove the casket from it was
Intellectual, on account of its extraordi-
nary weight. This created considerable
surprise, and it was at last suggested to
open the casket. An undertaken was in
trusted with the job and when the lid
was removed the face and body We're
found to have undergone petrefaction-
had assumed the color of yellow marble,
and the entire face and form seemed as
one mass of marble chiseled from block
not one of the features or lineaments
were out of place or unnatural in the
slightest degree. The body was raised
from the grave by means of q block and
fall and was found to weigh-when
weighed for transportation to Philadel-
phia--nine hundlod and eighty pounds!

Cornell University has just established
an experimental station, which is pre-

to test them in the field; to examine
seeds that are suspected to be adulterated,

or other plants. The board of control is
formed of several professors of the uni

agricultural societies of the State.

he who admits what he can't do.
In the estimation of three-year-o
no plaything can hope to vie will a

The persons who can't afford to Duy

shop-windows most frequently.
1t is when the robin gets into its

most tempted to throw stone at it.
The pedestrian who walks 500 miles in

Over the rural gutter fly,
Where the small boy captures I'm under

And pieces OF geranium,

a Hint to WorkingYh an.

pressure under which we have labored

wages have not been attended by a
corresponding diminution III price OF
everything which the workingman
needs, Rents. fuel food, and clothing
arc cheaper, but these do not consti-
tute all his necessities. tits sometimes
necessary for him to employ a lawyer
or physician, yet the fee rates ofphy-
sicians and lawyers are as high as
thew were in flush times Yet cheap
medicines are a. necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are
not necessarily poor medicines. 1t

The contest in 1880 promises to be a
bitter one, and as necessary to success i,
IS an i'm portant essential that the Dem
ocrats tbe thoroughly organized. This
should be done at once, by the formation OF
clubs in every voting precinct. Every
Democrat can do something f0r his party
and ought to be willing to aid iu the
organization. The Democracy have the
numerical strength to achieve success. but
without organized effort large number Of
votes will not be secured. 1t is only
through perfect organization that the

and to accomplish this and thereby make
success in 1880 certainty, the Democrats

Criminal Stupidity.

Now that Major Thornburgh has been
mastered aud perhaps bis entire COM
mand murdered by the Indians, great
activity is manifested by the war depart
ment in sending laid" Why was not
this done before the massacre? 1t IS
idle for the partisan managers to endeavor
to say there existed no good reason to
anticipate an outbreak,-it matters not
whether such was the case or not-tne
question is why are the troops scattered
over the south and many points in the
north, when there is urgent need for their
continual presence on the plains? Poor
Thornburgh, u gallant officer, like Custer.
has been sacrificed because of the partisan.
laundering management of the army.
The sectional hatred advocates, in order
to give color to their lying misrepresenta-
tions Of lawlessness III the south, keep two
thirds of the army there, leaving the
frontier unprotected. aud allowing brave
men to be slaughtered indiscriminately
rather than surrender the Republican
policy of political hatred and the use OF
the army for political service at the polls.
Major Thornburgh is victim to the stall
wart plan of managing the army-a plan
sanctioned by Gen. Sherman, and on the
heads of the outrage howlers must rest
the blame for the sacrificing of brave
aud intrepid officer, and his band of heroes
who stood nobly by his side. The army
is large enough for all practical purposes
and if it we're used for the purpose
it is intended for. on the plains and from
tiers, would soon put an effectual end to
Indian outbreaks. Congress should in
vestigase this Thornburgh massacre and
visit swift and uurelentIDg punishment on
those whose criminal stupidity caused it.
