An Encounter Between Two CoIoneIs In

The rotunda at Willard's was last evening
the scene of u hot engagement between two
of the famous colonies who have made this
place their headquarters since the cossa-
tion of hostilities in 1865. Hereto
fore the disputes between these sons
of Mars have been confined to strange oaths
and classic objurgations, but last night Col.
Dewees of Pennsylvania, and Col Taylor,
said to be from the south, had misunder-
standing in two rounds. In the irst en-
counter Col Devices struck his antag-
onist n blow with his cane. when
the friends of both parties succeeded
in separating them, and it was believed
that the difficulty was ended. Col. Devices
left the hotel, but returned in about half an
hour, and deported himself in n way which
was calculated to attract Col. Taylor's atten-
tion, and signied desire for further hos
tilities. Again there was wild rush,
but this time victory perched on
the banner Of the southron, and Col. Devices
received two heavy blows, one on the head
and another on the hand both of which drew
blood freely and, to use Boston expression,
knocked him out entirely. No arrests were
made, and it is possible that further gore may
result, rs both tho colonels are said to be

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so triiled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in 4 forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken i'll all cases without delay.

missed all recollectiOns of its infancy, re.
pudiated the conventional views and habits
of geese, and boldly marching into the
barracks of Uhlan regiment, stationed
itself ono day next to the sentry box.
Touched by this prediction for their
corps, the Uhlans erected a shed
for the goose, aud for twenty
three years threats nor porsuasiOns
have been able to separate the martial bird
from it's adopted regiment for any great
length of time. 1t has at different times

Uhlans went to fight for their country the
fOrsaken and sesolase goose took up for
the time with battalion of infantry but
no sooner did the first Uhlans re enter the
town than the goose marched out to meet
them, and returned with them to her old
quarters. She has now been stuffed, and
is to be seen in glass case on the gate of
the barr acks at Stuttgart.

A remarkable phenomenon has occurred
at Independence Iowa, during a heavy
thunder storm. Many were aroused by &
pelting against the window and supposed
it to be hail others thought it was caused
by bats. But the next morning thousands
of birds were found all over the city, some
dead and some alive. Wherevere door
had been open the place would be full! OF
them. It was a literal shower of birds,
and how and whence came they? In size
tho birds were trife larger than a snow
bird, and their color much like that of a
quail. No such bird was ever seen there.
One theory is that they were drew into
the vortex of q southern cyclone and car
ried as far as Independence, where they
were dropped.

The leaves obey Its tender force,
And stir twixt silence and sound.
