PRESIDENT GARFIELD SHOT.

Saturday morning at half past nine,
as President Garfield was in the Balti-
more Il Potomac depot, Washington, to
take the train north, he was shot twice
by an assassin named Charles Guiteau.
One ball struck the President in the right
side Just above the hip, and lodged in the
lower lobe of his liver. The second shot
struck his right arm. Secretary Blaine
who was with the President, saw that he
was Immediately cared for, and that the
assassin was arrested.
Guiteau is half crazed fellow, who has
been disappointed in not securing an office
which he sought, and no political signih-
canoe can be placed on his deed. lie
has been placed on board a L. 5. gun
boat to keep him out of the hands OF the
people who wish to lynch him.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday were
anxious days with people, all of whom
were eager to learn news of the Presi-
dents condition Though the physicians
say that the wounds need not necessar-
ily prove fatal, there are few chances OF
his recovery.

Capt. Joseph Is passionately fond Of a

Riding up in front OF o. NJ. Bents store
the other morning where stood gentle
man to whom he expected to sell his horse,
lie refined up in grand style, and to make
his horse dance little and carry convic-
ton to the heart OF the purchaser, he
gave the animal a generous cut under the
flank with his whip. The horse, not lik-
ing this treatment, replies by sending both
feet through the dasher. This action on
the part of the animal, surprised Capt.
Joseph not a little, and he feared 1t might
defeat his sale. Accordingly, he drove
around the monument and refined up the
second time, but could not resist the
temptation to touch the horse under the
flank once more. The animal kicked
again, this time, more spiteful than ever.
"There," said Capt. Joseph, triumph autly,
II can make him do that every time, by
lingo" ..

EAST SUMNER, July 2-The steam mill
OF Golf & Merrill located near the north
line of Sumner was totally consumed by
fire on "Wednesday night last. About $50
cords of waste wood aud quite lot of
lumber was burned aud nothing was saved.
The loss falls quite heavily upon the hrm
as they had no insurance and had built the
mill recently. The fire was supposed to
be caused by sparks from the engine al
though at half past ten at night, all was
right, and at midnight 1t was all in ftmes.
