Some Sharp Shooting.

Young Otto, the Nez Perez prince, has
been astonishing San Francisco by his
feats of workmanship. Heacquired his
phenomenal and almost supernatural
skill with the rifle under the instruction
of Capt. G. E. s. Macdonald. who believes
that his pupil is without rival in the
world. The San Francisco papers con-
tain minute descriptions of the per-
fOrmances with which he recently
amazed a large and fashionable audience
at benefit performance. For the pur-
pose of illustrating his skill, and with
out the least idea that the story will be
believed, the following account of one
of the young Indians fancy shots is
quoted: "a pistol barrel is placed in a
small steel frame; behind this is razor
with the edge facing the audience. On
each side of the razor is glass ball Sc
curely placed for the object of this feat.
The pistol barrel, razor and balls are
masked with covering of white cloth.
The boy is then blindfOlded, his face
turned to the objects, the 'AbOut-faceP
is given, when he fires down through the
pistol barrel, splits his single rifle ball
upon the razor edge and breaks both
glass balls on the right and left"

A Wedding in wyoming.


Oil City Derrick. t...
Camping near the town, we secured
our stock and then went in. Entering
the leading store, introduced myself to
Mr.. Stiles. one of the prOprietOrs and the
Postmaster s.t.r . -,
ut is now half past 2, and at 3 there's
to be a wedding down the street at Jonas
Burton's. Old Jonas is rough old coon
that'we elected Justice of the Peace
about month ago, and as this will be
his first attempt at marriage, think
we will see some fun. Come and go
with me-" E
We went to the old 'Sluire's cabin.
We found him porting over large vol
ume,of the statutes of Wyoming, sweat
ing like horse and looking terribly
anxious. After greeting us he said:
''Stiles, the burned galOOts tibet got up
these yer laws hadn't gumptiOn enough
tolast 'em over night. Pverun through
the blamed book half dozen times,
an can't find dOd blasted word about
metermony, or how the hitchin' process
is proceeded with. I've just got ter put
the clamps on this couple hit or miss,

help it,"
"Ohw said Stiles, lust do the best you
a.
in this country, for peOple1l never. ques-
ton the LEGALITY of the thing. I'll post
you as well as | can"
Stiles then explained to him about
>how he should proceed, and the old man
finally thought he would worry through
in tolerable shape. Ere long the couple
appeared, followed by crowd of the
citizens of the camp. The candidates
stood up before the Squire. who began:
"FellOw citizens, this var man and
this var woman have appeared before
the court to be hitched i'm the legal
bands of wedlock. If any galoOt in the
mob knows of anything that mOut block

jaw to himself now and fOrevermOre
All in the favor o. me prceedin' as Or
thOrized by the law, say l."
Everybody said "I''
Contrary, no."
Nobody said me"
"The notions carried unanimously,
an the Court rules that thar hain't
nuthin' to prevent the tryin of the ease.
Grip yer fms"
The candidates joined hands. "AmOs

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 30, 1881.
New Mexico.

The following correspondence we take
from the SocOrrO Miner. A number of
our citizens are interested in different
mines in the Black Range in the imme-
diate vicinity of the mines mentioned.
GRAFTON, N. NJ, October /, 1881.
Our camps in the range are once more
all activity. Building is progressing
rapidly, and our population is receiving
daily accessiOns. One of the numerous
late strikes was made in the Buck Eye,
in the new shaft commenced but short
time since. Free gold was discovered
in the cropping rock in this shaft in
considerable quantities. The matrix, in
which the mineral is found, is white
crystalized quartz.
The survey of the new town is COM
pleted, and named Robinson City, in
honor of Chief Engineer Robinson, of
the A. T. IL S. f. r. r. Company.
DR.. Dobbins is all activity. Prot.
bowling, the well-knOwn mining opera
tor and old timer, is doing some digging.
Col. Sturgis, of the well-known firm of
SOcOrrO attorneys and real estate min
ing brokers, is using every effort to
make the new Black Range City sue
cess.
The BraxtOn mine, Taylor and Gil
bert, continues to improve on develop
ment. 'te4,
Work on the grand old IvanhOe is pro-
crossing steadily. Col. Gillette, the
cautious superintendent of the celebrat-
ed mine, is giving all the work perform
ed his personal supervision. In sinking
Wine outside of the vein proper, he
intersected quite unexpectedly rich
body of sulphuret of silver and gold in
quartz was discovered.
McCOney, the stage rObber annihila-
tor, is amusing himself shooting wild
pigeons, now abundant in the range.
Gen. Hatch was in this city last Fri
day, and has ordered cavalry company
to remain i'm our camp until relieved by
two companies of infantry, now on the
way from Arizona.
When the reported news of the death
of Mrs. Gen. Hatch was received at this
place, the boys all united in their ex-
preston of sympathy and coincidence.
The Giant mine is being sunk by con-
tract. A new shaft will be opened in a
few days for the purpose of expediting
developments. The mineral now being
show of sulphuret Of silver, and free
gold, silver glance in the Buck Eye is a
recent feature in that mine.
Col. IngersOll and Geo. Roberts, the
New York mining operators, are on their
way to Grafton accompanied by num-
Der of New York capitalists.
Harms, the boy that amt afraid of
stage robbers and such like, has some of
the richest property in the range.

New Advertisements.

We call attention to the advertise
nent of Mr.. j. Blake Kendall in to-day s
issue, and advise our friends 10 give him
a call if in need of anything in his line
before purchasing elsewhere, Mr.. Ken
dali always publishes his prices, which,
by reference, will be found to be as low,
and in many instances much lower, than
elsewhere seen. His stock consists of
everything that our farmers and citizens
generally need, and is always complete
and full Now that the sleighing season
approaches he calls attention to his sleighs
and sleigh fixtures which will be found
very low. Give him call.

The Way it was Done.

In the absence of any effective organi-
zation in the party, and any systematic
canvass, the only means of fathoming the
causes which led to the recent disaster in
the county is found in comparison of
the figures of the recent election with
those of two years ago. The Republican
candidate for Comptroller receives 104
votes more than two years ago, while the
Republican ticket generally runs some
thing over one hundred votes ahead OF
1879. The Democratic candidate for The
Comprehensive receives 221 votes less
than at that election, and the Democratic
ticket generally runs some hing over
hundred behind the vote of 70. The Re-
publican gain is explainable in part by an
Increased registration, or in part
perhaps by the fact that the negro
vote was, through the efforts Of the differ
ent candidates, gotten out more fully this
fall, and in part. it cannot be
doubted, to gain among a certain class
ofwhi'es. The Democratic loss, 80 far az
it affects the whole ticket, is certainly at
tributable to failure on the part OF at
least hundred Democrats to go to the
polls. This was an inevitable result o.
the unfortunate faction fight Of year ago,
and the least said about it now the better
for US all The further detection in Mr..
Keatings vote shows that Gov. Hamil
ton and his friends" have not kept their
promise that the crusade should cease
when the nominations were made. Adj
vices from all the districts leave no doubt
that there were enough negro votes cast
for several of the Democratic candi dates
to have secured their election with the
usual Democratic support. From these
observations the painful fact becomes APP
parent, that if Democrats had been half so
Jealous in combating against the Repub
licans as they have been in contending
against each other, the result would have
been different.

Agricultural Society.

We invite the attention of our re- d.
ers to the selection our first page to-
day, taken from the Maryland Farmer on
the Southern Maryland Agricultural So
ciety." This society was started in
Prince Georges county some time during
the past summer, an6 from the energy an3
activity displayed by those who have pro-
jected it, bids fair to become permanent
fixture of our section. The projectors in
wife the cooperation of all counties IN
Southern Maryland, and al! without ex-
cqption should respond. earnestly and ac-
lively respond to the appeal. That such
an organization would be of inca icu!able
advantage to our section, there can be no
question If doubt. The great and good
results shown from these organizations in
other coun les afford ample proof of this
without deducing further proof by argu-
ment. In the days of our prosperity and
plenty we had such society in our
county; an organization that all were
proud of and glad to enroll their names
ON the list of its membership. Most of
our inhabitants can now remember the
fine displays that were held in our town
of the agricultural and domestic products
of our farmers and good housewives on
the meeting of the association, and who
can say that the spirit Of friendly rivalry
that was there manifested did not re-
dound to the advantage of those who took
part We have repeatedly through our
columns urged the necessity and ad,an-
tage of such an organization, and endeav-
ored in our feeble way to induce eur poo
pie to take steps for The organization of
one, but so far without avail. Now that
our sister county has taken the initiative
step in this matter and ipvi ed her adj
joining neighbors to cooperate with her
in making it permanent and fruitful
source Of advantage to our section, shall
we, be backward in accepting that invi-
taton and again let the project die out for
want of proper nourishment No, let US
extend helping hand to our enterprs-
ing sister in this measure and show by
our immediate and earnest efforts that we
are determined to have in Southern Ma
ryland society that will be the equal of
any such now in the State. Let all our
sister counties determine to do likewise
and the end will be assured.

Election Troubles in Calvert.

We had quit, thigh time in Calvert on

cit;zens and legal voters Of the district being
il the -oom where il was proposed o hold tbs
the cleo Ion, refused 10 lease it when ordered
so TO do by lne judges, at the hoa. for open
ing the polls, declaring ths: il was not their
intention 10 interrupt the election, but 10 see
that it was fairly conducted. The judges
finding that all attempts to remove them were
OF no avail, refused TO proceed with election,
and thus matters remained during the entire
day, and no election Wa. held in District No B.
In Precinct No. =, of District No. !, (St
