A Fathers Vengeance.

OFFICERS from this State have just returned
from Texas with old man Dahlgreen arrested
on charge OF murder, who has q most re-
markable history He lived before the war in
the northern part of Tennessee. His home was
pleasant one, and with his wife and two sons
he lived very happily on his farm until quar-
rel arose between heighbors. The difficulty
was patched but one G2 the sons-both of
whom had grown to mans estate-conceiyed
tia he had been wronged, and one day while
he and his brother were passing along the road
in wagon they came up with five men, their
neighbors, and the quarrel broke out afresh.
The young men were courageous, and would
not be init Undated by their opponents.
Hot words led to blows, and the five men,
pulling pistols, fired upon the Dahlgreen boys
and killed them. They ran away, and, fearing
the vengeance of old man Dahlgreen-for he
was even then considered quite an old man
disappeared from the community. Of course
Dahlgreen and his wife were nearly distracted
at the sad death of their "boys," of whom they
were very proud, and Mrs. Dahlgreen never re-
covered from the blow, but about the time the
war broke out died, and the husband was left
to lament the separation of his family.
He conceived the idea that nothing was left
in this life for him except to obtain venge-
anceon the men who had robbed him of his
sons. He devoted the remainder of his life to
this purpose. He began systematically to
search for the five men. whose names were
Gridley, Black, Hewitt, Meyers and man
called " Black Tom," but whose true name was
Lurdy, and one after another was met and
killed.
He had no oscruples, no conscience. His sole
object was to put the villains who made life
no object to him out of the way. He took no
interest in the war. 1t mattered not whether
the North or South. were victors. lie shot
Meyers andLurdy in Tennessee, and escaped
the officers who were set upon his track.
The old man disappeared from his country,
and no traces of him were heard for several
years. The man Grldley died of pneumonia
in Cincinnati, and Black is serving out term
in the State Penitentiary at Columbus, for
burglary. VFt nj.
The last Of these men. Hewitt. was slowly
rlt surely tracked by Dahlgreen to Colorado,
nd in little town on the frontier of the
State, at Coyote, he came up with hrfi and
shot him in cold blood after he had thrown
up his hands and asked for mercy The little
community was terribly, excited about the
murder, and started officers on the 'ack of
Dahlgreen, who threw them OF the scent.
| No more was heard of him until last month,
when information was received that he was
in Houston, Tex, and there he was nrreste,S

A Good Joke on a Lawyer.

An honest German laborer was pass
ing along the street q day or two. ago,
when small dog rushed out of yard
and bit him on the leg, tearing his pants
and leaving the print of his teeth in the
calf The German hastened to law
yer's office and asked the barrister if he
could not sue the owner of the dog for
damages. The lawyer agreed to take
the case, and made propositions for
filing suit for $4,000 damages, alleg-
ing that the dog was ferocious animal,
and that plaintiffs flesh had been terri
bly, lacerated, necessitating the expendi-
ture of large sums for medical attend
ance and for new pair of pants. The
client was directed to go to the house of
the owner of the dog the next day, make
a demand for the 5000, and ascertain
the name of the defendant. He called
at the house earlyrthe next morning,
and asked for the "boss." He was
somewhat surprised when the lawyer
presented himself as the owner of the
little dog. The lawyer was no less sur
prised to learn that his black-and-tan
was the cause of the trouble, and he in
formed the client that a suit would not
be maintained, as the injury done was a
mere trihe, and the dog was only in
FAM The result of the conference was
that the lawyer gave the client 65 cents
to pay for patching his pants, and took
a receipt in full satisfaction of all claims
for damages. Both parties were salts
fed, and the courts were spared the
trouble of trying a vexatious and costly

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 9th
thus summarizes the political situation:
There are now 265 nominations awaiting ac-
tiOn and five treaties for consideration. 1t Is
said to-day, with some show OF truth, that
the Republicans may some time next week
go into executive session for the purpose Of
confirming the most important nominations,
il enough Democrats vote with them to do
this promptly, but should an at
tempt be made in executive session
to select certain men for confirmation the
Democrats would probably resist and insist
on taking up the nominations in proper or
der. The Republicans would be glad to
confirm the most important nominations, il
they could do that and then resume their
fight, but if they 60 into executive session
one time they know it leaves the Democrats
the advantage.

A Fearful Explosion.

A RECENT Wilkesbarre pa dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune says A fearful explosion
of dynamite occurred soon after midnight
this morning at the Heidelberg shaft of the
Lehgh Valley Coal Company. few miles
north of this city, by which William Hensley,
of this place, was torn to shreds, and the en-
gineer, William Williams, of Pittston, was
probably fatally injured. The Heidelberg is
new work in the rock, the coal not being
reached. Hensley was in the engine-house
affixing percussion cap TO a charge
of the powerful explosive containing
a pound and a half, when it ex-
ploded, aud the conclusion started some
ten pounds more standing near by. The
effect was fearful. The engine-hOuse and
hosting engines were smashed into atoms
and sent flying through the air like tops of
thistles. Windows were broken in Pittston,
and the people started from their beds i'm at
fright. fearing that the town had been blown

told reporter that it caused him any amount
of difficulty, and he felt that it would be safer
to extract it. Since his exploit he thinks he

a stone not entirely perfect, of about

will enable any buyer, however dull he or she

the substitutes for butter from the genuine
