The sO-caIled independent RepuJli-
cans" alias bolters, OF the Pennsylvania
Legislature are very much mortified now TO
discover that Senator Cameron suggested
Congressman Mitchell for Senator. They
have been working nearly two months ''to
beat Cameron and refused TO elect two
good men because Cameron wanted them
elected After all this fuss and fury, to
have stepped into the Cameron trap makes
these patriotic and broad-gauge statesmen
very unhappy.

The live question OF hugging, whatever
it may be- is before the Michigan Legislature
iu the shape OF bill to make huggng a girl
against her will penitentiary offense. The
this sort is likely to BASS. No girl-unless
the girls of Michigan are totally different

world, and every enterprising young man in
the State would be in jail within month

An immense loss Of stock by starvation
has been one of the consequences Of the Un-
pTecedented SHOWS Of the present winter in
the extensive cattle ranges of the Western
Territories. Such is the feTtiiizing effect of
snow that the grazing in all that region VIII
be exceptionally good this year, but it was
probably sufficiently good before aud did not
require improvement. Enough is said to be
as good a feast. 1t is in fact great deal
better, and even short commons right along
is preferable to an alienation Of famine and
abundance.
1t hardly seems possible, says the Du-
buque (lOwa) Times, that our city has among
A Its inha DltantS a man who shook hands with
Sitting Bull. man who has smoked with
him, man who has hunted with him, man
who has courtcd his daughter, Big-woman-
not-afraid-to- have -papoOses; a man who has
dared TO enter the lodges of the blood
/ thirsty Sioux. But it is solid truth and can
not be disputed. When the history is writ

boldly out and read Tim O'Shea night clerk

A shepherd dog on the farm Of Nj.
/ Thomas Hain, Of SeeIeyville, Wayne county,

/ been seen repeatediyt0 drag a large piece OF
bark up a steep hill back Of the farmhouse,
/ where a thick crust had formed, then delib-
erately seat himself on it and slide to the
I bottom of the hill. Many peop'e have wit
/ messed this strange freak of the dogs and
after coasting down the bill several times
/ the dog would carry the bark sled TO place
/ of safety until he needed it again.
