HIGHWAYMEN.

They Tackle u Tartar and Oet Badly Used up
Howard Lake Advocate, May L.
AS Mr.. Charles Merriman was returning
from Watertown on Monday, and when
about one half the journey had been accom-
plished, he saw emerging from the woods in
front of him two men, one upon either side
of the highway, going apparently in the
same direction as himself. Unsuspicious of
danger, Mr.. Merriman soon overlook the two
men, when suddenly both sprang towards the
horses and Mr.. Merriman then discovered
that the faces of the two men were mask
flashed through his mind. The horses having
stopped, while one remained at their heads
the other approached Mr.. Merriman, and
izing that nothing but the utmost GOODNESS
would enable him to escape, as the only
weapon he had was a slender buggy
whip, Mr.. M. replied that the little
money in his possession would be of
no benefit to them; the man again de-
manded what he had, remarking that even
small amount with the horses and buggy
would make them comfortable, and taking
hold of Mr.. M. demanded that he alight.
Mr.. NJ, watching his opportunity to defend
himself, kept up running conversation,
and at last said: 'tIf must surrender the
team to you, I may as we'll get out, .
and arose as if for that purpose at
the same time and with superhuman
strength he jumped upon the footpad
and dealt him blow that fel!ed him on the
spot. The one at the horses heads seeing
his companion fall, left his position and ap-
preached MI. NJ, endeavoring as he did so
to draw weapon from his pocket. Seeing
that his escape depended upon the team,
Mr.. NJ. jumped into the back part of the
buggy and screamed to the team, which
started with such force as to knock the
highwayman down. rs he. attempted to seize
them, both wheels of the Euggy passing over
him. Avigorous application of the whip to the
horses put safe distance between Mr.. M
and his foes, not, however, until four shots
had been fired at him.
Mr.. Merriam escaped without injury, ex.
cepting a bruised hand the result of the con.
fict with the first one of the desperados
The fact that this attack was made upon 8
frequented highway and in broad daylight
it being about five o'clock in the afternoon
shows the desperate character of the men
with whom MIR. Merriam had to deal, anG
will prompt those having occasion to trave
the roads to be in q condition to defend

City Hall Saved With Much Difficulty.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
LIZ SUEUR, Minn., May 17.-About IL o clock
last night fire was discovered in the old Zim-
mer building, on Main street, and it soon
spread consuming that building, Joe
Schmitz's eating house and restaurant,
the old New York store Of Mr.. d. B. Anna
tyne, and the residence and Office of DR.. e.
Spratt, and it was only by tho greatest exer-
tions that the city hall was saved, and as it is
it is greatly damaged by water. All it's con-
tents were removed and the windows broken.
The thinner building was occupied by Mr.
E. Rolts' jewelry stock, portion of which was
saved, as we'll as that of the other
buildings that were burned, though in dam
aged condition. There was no wind at the
time, else nothing could have saved the entire
street.
Our people were wholly unprepared, and
without any fire department organization
of any kind, but came up to the work
with GOODNESS and resolution that was re-
markable for such an occasion. The fire is now
considered under control, and heavy shower
has set in that will probably prevent
any further spread. The extent of the damage
cannot be accurately estimated at this time,
abut it is severe loss to our little city.

The second performance of Queen Esther
at the Opera House last evening was greeted
with large and very appreciative audience,
and the slight air of staginess inseperable
from first presentation of the cantata had
given way to an acceptable familiarity with
the roles that was at orce artistic and effec-
tive. Without exception the soloists were
i'll fine voice, and the leading numbers were
sung in manner that did not fail to capti-
vate the audience, who insisted upon numer-
GUS repetitions.
Considered vocally,the entertainment was a
highly finished and satisfactory performance,
while in most respects the principal imperso-
nations were acted admirably. The closing
performance takes place this evening, and
the entertainment deserves and will doubt
less be greeted with full audience.

Leeches in II Car.

A few weeks ago the passengers in car
riage of night express train from Vienna
to Berlin were aroused from sleep by the
shrieks of lady who insisted that she was
being stabbed with sharp instruments ir
seve:al places. She would not submit to an
examination, and the guard was at his Wits
end what to do, when a stout gentleman
roared out that he, too, was being pricked
cruelty in various parts Of his thigh. For
tunately the train was near station, at
which the guard gave orders to have it stop
ped, and the lady and gentleman we're
handed out, their companions following
them, with no small curiosity, into the wait
ing-room. The gentleman was promptly
searched, and six colossal leeches were dis
covered to be feasting themselves upon his
leg. The lady had swooned from fright and
weakness, and had to be left behind IN the
care of local doctor. 1t appears that one
of the passengers had brought an insult
fciently covered jar of these blood-suchers
into the carriage, and had placed itupon fhe
scat. They escaped, and did the mischief.

Winter Care of Fowls.

A writer in the Country Gen
tleman furnishes a whole chap
ter on this subject in a few words,
viz: 'If fowls do not have good
care it is better not to have
fowls. Good care does not
mean only an abundance to eat.
You may feed plenty of hard
corn and get very few eggs.
They should receive a varied
diet, which should consist of at
least one good hot meal of cook
ed food-mush and vegetables;
in the morning is the best time,
as soon after daylight as posi-
bic. At noon liberal feed of
wheat, and vary it with other
grains and at night feed whole
corn, or some times cracked
corn, to make as much change in
their diet as possible. Of equal
importance is it that they should
be often provided with drink,
and where milk is to be had, it
is very valuable auxiliary. By
all means be sure they have
plenty of fresh water at all times.
Another item of good care is to
provide good, warm quarters,
and these need not necessary be
expensive in order to be COM
Portable. Fowls cannot be ex-
pectod to shell out many eggs
if they have to spend their en-
tire time trying to find a warm
corner, and are most of the time
shevering with cold. A large
saving can be made in the
amount of food consumed, if the
fowls are properly provided with
thoroughly warmed and venti-
lated quarters. "
