While in Cincinnati in attendance on the
Democratic National convention, Hiram At
kins is currently reported to have told an
ugly story about Gen. Hancock to Tilden's
friends, to the effect that on the night after
the PRONUNCIATION of the final decision of the
electoral commission of 1877, Gen. Sheridan
received letter from Hancock stating his be-
lief that Tilden had been elected and had a
right to take the oath of office anywhere, and
that he would obey any orders received from
Tilden as President Gen. Hancock denies
that Gen. Sheridan ever received such let
ter, but further than this he has nothing to
say. We regret to find that the Argus of this
week gives space to neither a denial nor an
explanation of this damaging story.

strength slowly increased toward the last,
and on the 9th ballot he was re-nominated
by a majority of l. The session was pro-
tracted from 10 o'clock in the morning till s
in the evening, but, although there was great
excitement as the end approached, there was
perfect good humor throughout, and Col,
Joyce's nomination was heartily made unan-
imous on motion of ex-Gov. Stewards friends
Col. Joyce has already served three consecu-
tive terms in Congress.

Hyde Park on the same day. Entire harmo-
ny prevailed, and Gen. w. w. Grout of Bar

A QUEER AFFAIR AT NORWICH. Norwich
was in turmoil of excitement on Monday
over the disappearance of the wife of DIR. Il.
II. Child. DIR. Child went home Sunday
night at late hour and, while under the in
Auence of liquor, had an alteration with his
wife and threw something at her. They
soon after retired, the quarrel continuing.
He got up and was gone out of doors half an
hour. When he came back his wife was
gone. She left all her clothing, and the infer
ence was irresistible that she had drowned
herself. The whole neighborhOod searched
the ponds, brooks and wells ON Monday with
out finding any trace of the missing woman.
Late in the day Ezekiel Blanchard, frighten-
ed by the rapidly increasing excitement,
came forward and said sh0 was alive and
well and concealed in his house, where he
had taken her Sunday night The people
were very indignant that he should withhold
this information, and he narrowly escaped
rough treatment.
