The rumor that Hon. John II. Oberly
contempates locating at Leadville, con-
tinues to spread among the newspapers of
this and adjoining states, though there
seems to be no good foundation for it. The
latest eausion with reference to this matter
and Mr.. Oberlys new apelation of
bishop" is from the Decatur Republican,
as follows ave are assured that Mr..
Oberly is not prompted to take this step
on account Of any lack of appreciation of
his talents by the people of Bloomington,
but because Of the embarrassing position
in which he frequently finds himself by
reason of his striking resemblance to Bishop
Seymour, of the Springfield diocese. John
can keep perfectly straight face when
some mistaken individual bashfully asks
him to perform the marriage ceremony, but
when fond parents interview him on the
subject Of baptizing their children, it is a
little too much. Therefore, he is compelled
to flee unto the mountains"

DONGOLA LETTER.

P,NGoLA, December 18th, 1881.
Things in Dongola we don't like to see
big boys who ought to go to school eve.
ry day sitting at family groceries, spinning
yarns and mixing in horrid cuss words
Men getting drunk in our saloons, raising
Cain and fighting, and then when brought
before the squire being released from paying
fines, because for sooth they swear they
were "only in fun" Druggists selling more
whisky than the licensed saloons, and pay
ing no tax to Dongola for 30 doing. But
what is the most hateful of all is to see and
hear men arguing against the bible, and
condemning its teachings. We often see
and hear men thus engaged, who cannot
read correctly the most simple sentence in
child's first reader, yet in scriptural lore,
they imagine they cannot be excelled. They
want everybody to know that they have
made the great discovery that there is no
devil, ana that, as for future punishment
there is no such arrangement. Further
more, we don't like to hear of switch keys
being stolen, and the signal post on the
Illinois Central railroad being torn down
Such has been the case recently, and if the
ones who are guilty don't come to halt at
once when they do halt, twill be in the pen
itentiary. About the last thing, we don't
like to see, is two.thirds of the boys in
town playing "bull pen," baseball and
other games on Sunday. Things we like
to see-men and women coming to town
to buy necessaries ard planking down the
"white whelps," dollars of our daddies.
We like to see families coming to the saw
mills, buying large bills Of lumber to make
necessary improvements on their dwellings
and out buildings, and we like to see ii.
Dyer in the lumber yard as clerk. BY the
way, if anybody wants the finest Of yellow
poplar lumber or lumber from any Of the
hard woods, Dongola is the place to buy,

ing their wheat of the market with view
of getting one dollar and fifty cents per
bushcl. We are not fond of seeing farmers
unprosperous, but inclined to believe that
when wheat is one dollar and fifty cents
per bushel, they are prospecting too much,
therefore we are glad to see the decline in
wheat. Everybody must eat bread, and
when wheat is so very high, thousands of
working men are compelled to eat bread
sparingly. When wheat gets so high that
II sets people, who are not farmers, to
swinging on their gates and chewing wind
for bread, then II is that we like to see q

general prosperity Of all classes, and that

A Remarkable Story,

b. Corey, of boz Cabezas tCal.l has
sent to San Francisco 4 knife taken
from an antelope killed near that place
recently by Mexican, together with 4
letter explaining that the weapon had
evidently been plunged into the animal
long ago. and that it had recovered
from the wound and carried the instru-
ment for long time. He says: 'The
knife extended on the left side of the
neck, just before the shoulder. passing
about half an inch from the heart. the
point sticking into rib, holding it in
place. 1t was entirely covered by the
skin. The wood part Of the handle fell
IN pieces As the knife was being taken
out, showing that it had been confined
for some time. The antelope was very
fat, as | had some for breakfast this
morning" The knife, including the
blade proper, and the handle to which
the wooden covering was fastened. is
nine and half inches long, and weighs
half pound. Evidently the knife
must have been in the flesh for wears.
as the wood had decayed and the skin
OF the animal had entirely covered the
butt of the weapon. 1t is coniectured
that the knife was thrown at the ante
lope, and that the animal, brushing il
against the ground or timber, pushed il
further into the body The Academy
of Sciences will be asked to give a the
DRY of the wound.

he succeeded without any trouble, in
negotiating. at the first national bank
$500.
The parties were married last week
and left for an extended ur. The re-
turn OF the draft to the bank, with the
statement that it and the letter of cred
1t were base forgeries, first revealed the
true character of the impostor. De
teetlves were Immediately put upon
his track by the officials OF the bank
The tirst intelligence received from the
bridal party was contained in tele-
gram from the unfortunate lady, from
Albion, New York, inquiring into the
truth of a report in the papers there
that fatal accident had befallen her
mother. From this it would appear
that Marvin had concoctei and had
published the story of the accident in
the hope that his wife would immedi-
ately return home, and thus give him
the opportunity TO desert her. Friends
from Richmond went to Albion to the
relief of the young lady, and she is
now on her way home. Nothing has
yet been heard from the detectives
who We're sent after Marvin, who is be-
neved to have made his escape into
Canada.
