On Sunday last E. Murphy, of Wood
stock, Illinois, and III. Childers, who will
be remembered as the red-ribbon lecturer
from Burr Robbins circus, were hunting
ducks at the mouth of Rock river near
Black Hawk Island. AS flock of ducks
approached, Childers dropped down in
the boat and Murphy discharged one
barrel. Childers then thinking that
Murphy was through firing, raised his
head just as the second barrel of the gun
was discharged. The load entered
Cbilders' head just above the left ear,
tearing a fearful hole in the skull, scatter
ing portion of the brain about the boat.
Childers was Immediately taken to the
Lake View House and DR.. Stockman
summoned. On probing the wound,
which was over an inch in diameter, he
found that the shot had glanced upward,
but had fractured the skull terribly.
Three pieces of the bone were taken out
which were imbedded in the brain to the
depth of several inches. Strange to say
Chiiders is getting along we'll, being able
to sit up the next day and partake of
some light food. Mr.. Murphyis in great
distress about the accident and is provid-
ing medical attendance, and every posi-
BILE comfort for the wounded man. The
doctors think the chances are in favor of
Childers' recovery if inflammation can be
prevented from setting in. His vitality
is certainly wonderful.

A novel Post Office was started in
South Milford, Pa, the other day. Some
girls of the town, having been forbidden
correspondence with their young men,
put box in pile of bricks and deposit
ed their love letters therein. The secret
was kept for several weeks, and the game
probably would have been kept up inde-

suddenly carried them off for building
purposes. Five love letters were found
by the workmen, and five unpleasant
sensations followed.

BALKY HORSES.

Some man who is either without shot
gun, or else has more patience than Or
dinary individuals, sends The Ruralist
the following curefor balky horse:
Two persons are required for the trial
One should hold the reins while the other
fastens short strap or rope A halter
strap, always at hand, answers the pur-
pose well-just before the fetlock of a
fore leg; then going forward, he should
pull on the strap until the horse lifts his
foot; continuing to pull, the foot will be
brought forward and set down little in
advance of the other. The horse thus
thrown out of natural position, will
move forward to gain his equilibrium
Another pull will cause another move
forward. This may be repeated several
times, or until the horse moves without
having the foot pulled forward. Usually
the first or secoud pull will start him.
Three or four such reminders at most will
do the work. When the start is made it
is generally an easy one. Sometimes,
however, it has the appearance of the
horse being in hurry to get away form
the provoking man with the rope; there
fore a steady hand should manage the
reins. | have never known horse un-
der this treatment to kick or to act mean
in any other way than to try to run.
When he does start off the hold on the
strap should be given up. After having
gone twenty-five or more yards the horse
should gently be brought to stand and
the strap removed. Then try to start
him without the strap. If he does not
move off at once, apply it again. He
will soon tire of being thus annoyed, and
will give you no further trouble in this
way.

week. She is reported to be in excel

little like the woman whose pride in the

displays little interest in what goes on

A Blaine Precedent,

To tAe Editor or the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Mr. Blaine's enthusiastic Kansas friends have set an excellent example to tho Repu blicans Of Connecticut who are not in favor of his noEination. h hansas, as if Connecticut, it has been the usage to allow the delegates to the National convention to be chosen by the district delegations. At the convention in Topeka, April 1st, MT. Blaines supporters, being in the majority, changed this usage, and in spite of the protests of General Grants friends, who numbered more than one-third of the convention, insisted upon electing all the delegates to Chicago by the vote Of the convention. By this means full delegation of Blaine Republicans will cast the vote of Kansas at Chicago, and the wishes of the Kansas friends of General Grant will not find any expression on the floor of the National convention
 The precedent thus set by Mir. Blaines friends in Kansas should be followed to some extent by the convention that is to meet in this city next week. Leaving to the Congress sional district delegations the choice of two delegates, the deIegates-at-large should be chosen by the vote of the convention. Only by such mode of selection can it be assured that the delegates at-large will represent the wishes of the majority of the Republicans of Connecticut, as it is obvious they should. Otherwise it is to be found that the large number-probably majority-of the Repub- icans of this city and county who are opposed to the nomination of Mir. Blaine will be with out representation at Chicago. The State convention has the right and the power to do justice and should employ both.
