Narrow Escape.

As the south bound passenger train
over the Mississippi Central railway
neared Winona, Miss, one hundred
aud fifty miles below here, last Sun
day evening, it made a close miss from
being demolished by a huge forest
tree that fell across the track during
the wind gale Of that occasion. Over
a hundred people we're on the train
many being delegates from Mississippi
and Louisiana from the Cincinnttt
convention destined homeward. The
forest monarch was seen to topple a.
the cars passed. All steam was hastily
put on by the engineer, who quickly
turned his valves wide open, and just
as the last coach cleared the danger
the tree lay PROSTATE over the track.
The danger was known to many o.
the passengers, and their hair stood
straight up for a period. The shave
was so close hat it was enough K
scare even a veteran.

A Medical Lunatic.

last night by the steamer James w.

Wise out of his passage money,
amounting to So, by palming a couple
Of bogus documents upon him. The
man boarded the steamer at Metropo-

be harmless, and has perhaps been
turned out Of or escaped from some

board of health inspectorship. He
rOamed about the city for a while
after the steamers arrival, then drift
ed into the station house, where he
was locked up. The following are
verbatim copies Of the papers pre-

Dog Travel in the Winnipeg
Country.

NOuHNEys
For winter travel dogs have hitb-
erto been largely used, as with light
loads they are swifter than horses.
To drive a team Of dogs it il said one
must be able TO swear in English,
French or Cree, while to be a first
rate dog driver requires a fluent com.
mand Of profanity in three languages.
Some years ago a we'll known Winni-
peg ~ecclesiastic was making an extend

quently whipped, made little progress,
so the bishop demonstrated with the
driver. That funotionary replied
that he could not make them 20 un-
less he swore at them absolution
was, therefore, given him for the trip,
and the dogs, hearing the familiar ex.
pletives, trotted along briskly. Dog
driving, however, is passing out of use
in the northwest, as it is becoming
much more expensive to keep dogs
than it is to keep horses. While but,
falo were abundant, aud every post
and wigwam could have unlimited
pemmican, it was easy for any man to
keep a kennel but as the buffalo are
rapidly disappearing, and, as tho dogs
must be fed throughout the whole
year, while the horses can forage for
themselves at all seasons, horses arc
being used almost entirely on the
prairies, except in the more northern
districts, where game and fish are very
abundant.

A Marine Item,

Captain r. W. Wise brought hi,

in her usual graceful style, firing his
cannon with an extra charge, in honor
of this, the seventy-secOnd voyage Of
the boat, and also in honor Of the
presidential ticket OF both ports. The
successful vessel the genial captain
handles SO skillfully will depart again

or elsewhere, better liked, or more
deserving of public patronage than
Captain Wise. His boat never fails
to come or go, full of freight and with
a round number OF passengers, and
the latter invariably mention in terms
of praise the courteous attentions
paid to them while they voyaged on the
waters.

Our weather.

An inch of rain has fallen here

The lowering clouds sent a few light
drizzles in the early hours of to-day,
after which they broke, and the skies

the present. The temperature here
at sunrise was 20 degrees, and yester-
day it ranged from 20 to 81. The

stormy weather along the Atlantic

Spending his youth and the strength of his manhood

As business man he came in contact with neary

friendship which lasted and grew with life His in

A "Black Eye'2

A friend Informed us that gaunt
raw-boned, double-fisted brute, (who is
probably a Granger" as he was in at
tendance at the Democratic indignation
meeting on last Thursday felt constrain-
ed to remark, on the street, that "old
Mackley will fool round till he gifts his
eye blacked." We did not learn his name
for sure, but we heard it was CLAIR
Now we wish to say to this cowardly,
dirty dog, that any time he feels it to be
his mission to "black the eyes" of any of
the STANDARD men, let him call around
as the editors are generally sat home
to their enemies. This brute is of the
class who form mobs, and attack single
man by droves, but we can assure this
fellow that in case he sees fit to come
upon an eye-blacking mission, we will
in the language of old Madison Wells,
make him smell HIP

"May Want Him in the Field!"

Among those anxious persons who
waited for news from Chicago last week.
was young man who resides short
distance in the country, is an ardent Re-
publican, and was exceedingly anxious
that Grant might be nominated. When
the news of Garfeld's nomination was
received, a jolly Democrat began haunting
our young friend about losing his favorite
candidate.
"Well, Billy" said he, you didn't git
Grant this time"
NO." answered the Grant man, "but
we didn't really care about having Grant
in the White House; if you Democrats
don't behave yourselves, we may have
other uses for Grant before this thing is
over-we may want him in the feldp'
The Democrat was struck with the force
of the lesson.
Grant, the private citizen, was defeated
at Chicago, but Grant, the hero of Vicks-
burgh, Donelson and AppomatoX, still
lives.

On last Thursday a well known lady of
this place went into Mrs. DuHadway's s
Millinery Store, on Broadway, laid down
her bonnet and gloves, and proceeded to
examine the goods in the establishment.
After looking over the fnery of the es-
tablishment, she took her bonnet and
started-but she only had one glove She
looked everywhere; she got the employees
of the establishment to ransack the place
high and low; she went further up the
street, to another place which she had
visited, and hunted there; then she re-
turned to the store, and while trying to
think where she had lost the missing
glove, mechanically removed her bonnet
and there, safely and snugly ensconced
within the crown of the bonnet, lay the
missing article. The good lady denies
that she is absent-minded.

Mr.. MAYAEw, Of Franklin Township,
has given what seems to be very plausi-
BILE theory as to the presence, below the
surface of the ground, of the burnt ore
and charcoal spoken of last week. 1t is
this: That at some period in the past
the ore was exposed, and subjected to fire
from burning woods, and that afterwards
the cinder and charcoal were buried by a
gradual deposit of earth. Whether or
not the formation of the ground in the
vicinity of where the specimens were
found is such as to sustain this theory
we do not know.
