WHiTEwATER, Wis, Dec. 23.-Sev-
eral days ago sensational report was
published in "a La Crosse evening paper,
to the effect that Nellie Koran had, Tor a
fancied wrong, threatened to ''get even"
With her entire family, and that her fa-
ther, mother aud two sisters had since
died. The death OF her last
sister occurred but a few
weeks since, and the mysterious
circunlstanc,s of her death led to a
coroner's inquest, which led to The ar
rest of Nellie Tor poisoning her sister.
Few people here believe Der guilty, and
when the LaUrosse papers Statement
was received they were amazed. 1t
turns out however, that ths sensational
Interview was with one Dan Strickland,
Il halt wired and hard ciisp, no, as II
former inmate OF the Waukesba reform

ton more trouble thanany other boy in

FOX HUNTING FOLLY.

To the folks who are prosecuting the
warfare against tanned foxes on liveried
horses in the cities of the east, the rural
districts have word to say-not in de-
rision of your pasline nor in contempt
but simply by way OF advice and admo-
milton.
The irolic you propose over the cap
ture of fox is only in the nature OF a
picnic at best. City people are doing
the business. and they neither know the
nature of the fox nor the best method
of pursuing him. The society of hun,a,i-
tarians,of which Mr.. BEiGH is the chief,
would have as much right to stop you in
your efforts to catch AMI kill a fat FIX as
IL would to discontinue your alnuse-
ment and arrest you for chasing a do
nestle cat. You are not foX-hunters--
only imitators of English gentry or Vir-
ginia .sportsmen--aud deliberately take
apoor brute to satisfy your iieas of APP
pearance in society, or members of a
club or organization which proposed the
amusement for the purpose of dignity
ing the organization. The brute has
just as much claims to public sympathy
MS you have, and when he escapes, the
true fox hunter is rejoiced that your
surroundings have not encompassed
old Reynard.
Hunting foxes Is snort generated by
the necessities of the country where
foxes are numerous and afterward by
the habits which such pursuits had
created. Now all this hunting foxes
from New York aud Washington Is
simply piece of nonsense Mt which the
true fox-hunting people laugh. Go to
work with your society business; have
your germans and your elite assemblies
in all their varieties, but don't try to
initiate an agricultural people in their
peculiar sports and diversions. We
hunt foxes that have never been caught
and dOmesticated; we leap streams
with clify banks and course through
fields enclosed with hedges; we ride the
mustang that turns up his nostrils at
corn, and our hounds have noses un-
polluted by meat diet. Your idea is fun
and amusement; ours is to catch the fox
aud see who is the hest man in the
business. Your notion, too, is to he
a. good riders. We are all
good riders, and no distinction can be
made by the catch. The HERALD would
advise that more attention be paid to
The appearance at the inauguration ball
and less to the silly and unnatural
pastime of running down bloated and
foxes.

Why Mr.. DAVIS SHOULD NOT BE
ABUSED,

The Republicans have been very in
dustrious in pointing out the synpa
thelic expressions of the southern pr. IS
with MIR. DAVIS in his controversy with
GEN. SHERMAN as to his alleged posi-
ton during tho war, and endeavOriDg
10 draw from such expressions the con-
clusion that the people Of the south are
not only disloyal but are preparing to
enforce their views.
This is not only heterogeneous but ex-
ceedingly unfair and unpatiiotic. MR.
DAVIS was the acknowledged head of
the confederacy and his views are re-
garded as representative. He was not
an original secessionist but was chosen
at Montgomery to occupy the presiden-
tial chair on account OF his very con-
seryative ideas. Whilst believing that
state III d the right to secede, he did
not even acquiesce in the movement of
secession until he Thought every means
had been employed to prevent separa-
ton on the part of the southern states
from the Union. He was in nOwise q
leader in the movement, but never for q
moment flinched from the responsible
ties which his exalted position cast upon
him After the war ended he was the
butt aud special object OF northern NAL
ice and Indebtedness. Imprisoned,
ridiculed and prescribed, his suffering
appealed to southerners as a'turden he
was bearing for "sins" in which each
individual Confederate was equally q
participant, and whilst every man be-
lieved that no "sin" had been 9 M
mitted, he yet felt FESTIVE that one man
should be the victim OF this vicarious
punishment.
But Mn. DAVIS gave no uncertain
sound Ms to his position. He never
asked why others than him
self should not be arrested and
tried, but in the casemates Of
Fortress Monroe cried aloud for trial.
He defied enemies in their persecution
and persistently demanded judicial In
