A HAPPY OMEN.-The Detroi,
Free Press says: There are Re.
publicans who profess to feel, aud
some, no doubt, who really do feel
that the solidity Of the South for
Hancock is a bad omen. But il
they will reflect a moment they
will see that it is one of The bes,
possible omens. The uuion of those
who fought on the side of the
South in the war of the rebellion
in support of one who won hi,
laurels in opposing them is the
best indication possible of a resto
ration Of the country to lasting
peace.

Last Sunday evening some mer
while riding on the prairie in Mou'
toms Cove, found the dead body
of a white man, upon closer exam
ination it was discovered to be
that of Isaac Kahn q resident Of
that locality. The supposition is
that ne was kicked over the re

producing death, and we believe
the corner sjury rendered a YER
dict to that effect. The decd
was a newcomer, and we under
