Ayoung Fond du Lac lawyer learned
something the other night. We know
it will seem strange that q young law
yer conld learn anything, but this one
admits it himself. He was out. calling
on young lady, when q young man
and another young lady called, and the
young lawyer thought it would be cum
ming to get down behind the lounge and
not let them know he was there, and
surprise them by bobbing up serenely
from below when the proper time came.
They came in and the first thing they
asked for was the young lawyer, who
had told the young man he would be
there that evening. Then they began
to talk about him, discussed the size OF
his feet. which they claimed were large,
and the size of his head, which they as
serted was child's size. He perspired
and they talked about his mashing quail
tiles. how he had mashed a girl that
worked in q laundry, and the opinion
was expressed that he was regular
hirt. Then they talked about his fam
ily, and he tried to stuff his ears. Just
then little terrier belonging to the
girls brother came in the room, and
somebody said traits" and told the dog
to hunt for them, and the dog went nm
der the lounge and began to growl and
shake something, and there was q sound
of revelry by night. The other young
man and the two girls rushed out OF the
room, and the lawyer got up on his feet,
pulling the dog up near his suspenders
bxlthe teeth, and the dog shook, and
the young man kicked and yelled, and
presently the girls father came in and
seeing the dog trying to hold what be
supposed was a burglar he took an old
hair cloth covered chair and was going
to brain the burglar when the young
man told who he was, and the father
unlocked the dogs teeth, after he hae
remembered the combination, and thu
young lawyer took himself in his hant
and went away. He won't speak toth'
young people now, and it is said he vii

VIM. Vaughn, son Of Col. Thos. b.
Vaughn, living near Longwood, in this
parish, was returning home from Dan.
Monroe's store, where he had been at
tending to some business connected with
his Office as constable, when within q
mile of home no was shot from ambush by
some party unknown. The weapon used
was supposed to be . Colts navy pistol.
The ball entered immediately under the !
right shoulder blade, ranged upward,
and it is thought penetrated the right
lung. Upon the discharge Of the pistol
the mule he was riding commenced
pitching and then broke into arun until
it reached home, Mr.. Vaughn remaining
in the saddle. His brother, DR.. Ed
Vaughn, and wife assisted him from the
mule and helped him into the house.
DR.. Floyd Vaughn and their brother Sc
siding at Jonesville, and DR.. John Pope.
of Marshall, were Immediately summon
ed. They consider his condition very
critical We understand, indeed, that
there is but faint hope OF his recovery.
The next morning Messrs. John b.
Newton, Dan Monroe and W. M. Alta
way examined the locality of the shoot
ing. They found that q blind Of bushes
by the side of an old log had been made,
not more than two or three yards from
the side of the road. Tkere was a slight
bend in the road, and Mr.. Vaughn had
rot past the ambush and was some thir-
teen steps from the blind when the shot
was fred. They found that two horses
had been been tied in the bushes about
hundred yards from where the shoot
ing took place, and also saw evidences
of two men having been behind the
blind. They followed the tracks Of the
horses about two and q half miles, lead.
ing to what is known as the old Page
place, tenanted by negroes. The trail
was lost about mile from the place
mentioned.
Col. Vaughn was absent when his SOL
cot home but arrived o short time after
: and went Immediately to Jonesviile fo
his son, DR.. Floyd.
The Colonel is one of the members Q

family stand deservedly high in the par

Albany, Oct. 10.-A large number of
delegates to the democratic state con-
vention, and many of the prospective
candidates have arrived. The Tammany
and Irving hall delegations are regarded
as contestants by the state committee
and the county delegation will be placed
on the desk MS regular. 1t is understood
Music hall has been hired for the Tam
many hall delegation to be used in case
there is a bolt.
The Tammany hall delegates of the
county, and the delegates of the Irving
hall democracy. marched with contin-
gents to their respective hotels rs they
arrived to-day. The Tammany line was
the largest, The county democracy won
the loudest applause. When John Kelly
reached the city he was told that there
was strong opposition to the admission
of the Tammany delegation to the con.
vention. He responded that he was not
disappointed. Tammany came to the
convention as in duty bound, not leaving
the convention to take the responsibility
of their exclusion. He said Tammapy
would not hold separate convention.
Tammany would return to New York
absolved from supporting ticket made
here, but it would nominate and sup.
port it's own local ticket. They wanted
recognition here, full, sole and total. II
they could not get that then the party
OF the state could lay no claim to their
votes or support.

evening to make n roll of delegates to
