At Richland, Mich, last month, as
Mr.. George Hoyt was returning from
Plainwell in a sulky, leading a stallion,
the animal, when near bis house, sliced
Mr.. II. by the arm with his teeth and
drew him from the snlky and began
a furious fight with him, biting large
pieces of flesh from his arm and severe
ly bruising his body. Mr.. H., power
full man, kept IA strong hold upon the
. ferocious animal, or probably he would
have been soon killed Miss Nettie
Hoyt, hearing the cries of her father,
ran to the rescue with u pitchfOrk and
made such good use of the sharp fork
tines that the beast gave up the battle,
leaving Mr.. II. almost exhausted and
the flesh on his right arm lacerated and
chewed to Jelly from his shoulder to
his elbow. Gangrene set in and the
doctors removed all the bruised flesh,
but no improvement following the arm
was taken off, and at last accounts Mr..
HIS condition was considered very
critical.
Workmen for the past few days have
been engaged III digging up the pipe
that conveys the overflow of water
| from the watering trough near the
| Clement building to sewer, stop
page having occurred. The pipe is a
common sewer pipe, five inches in
| diameter, each piece shutting into an
other, thus making complete line.
! The workmen discovered near the de-
pot park that the root of willow tree
| had grown over the pipe and tiny
shoot from the root had forced itself
| through one of the joints, where appar-
emily no opening existed. and had de-
veloped inside the pipe, filling the
same for a distance of over rod with
fibrOus, hairy growth, of the consist
ency of sponge, which completely
shut off the flow of water. The growth
must have been rapid, as the pipe had
been in position only a year or two.

LOGAN,S ORATORY.

II is not often that anything funny appears
in the New York Tribune, but when there
does it is apt to be mighty good" Such
was eminently the graphic editorial descrip-
ton it gave away back in 1876 of John A.
Logan as senatorial debater and torturer
of the Queens English. AS Logan is to be
quite prominent figure in the pending
presidential campaign and nothing tends so
much to relieve the hard work and tedium
of Il campaign as an occasional dash of hui
NOR, the Tribune's description of Logan may
on many occasions be found serviceable;
wherefore we give it place in our columns
The Tri5unes etching would be complete if
accompanied by one of Logan's anti-Union
speeches delivered about the time of the
bombardment of Fort Sumpter--one of those
impassioned outbursts that caused his Egyp-
,ian neighbors TO shoulder their shot-guns
and start for the Southern Confederacy.

VINO is JONES ?-The first question
asked at Pittsburg, on the announcement
that Jones of Pittsburg had been placed
at the head of the Republican National
Committee" was Jones! Jones! who the
devil Is Jones?" He was found to be b.
f. Jones, of Jones d Laughlin, hardware
dealers, and owes his appointment solely
to the fact that he Is relative Of Tom
Bayne, Republican congressman from that
district, whose election was secured by the
liberality with which Jones always shelled
out for party purposes" Otherwise says
Herald correspondent:
Mr.. Jones is very nice old gentleman.
If an absolute tigurehead is required Mr.,
Jones can fill the position admirably He
is fine looking, benevolent in aspect dig
nifed in demeanor and reminds one of the
aphorism that No one was ever as wise as
Lord Thmlow looked In business affairs
he is well informed and in his social life
he is above reproach, but, as far as politics
go, he has never done anything whatever
in an active way His nearest approach to
connection with political affairs has been
as vice president ef public Republican
meetings where he looked impressive and
benign on the stage or on the finance com
mittee of the county Republican commit,
tee which assured the managers of larger
donation to the campaign fund"

brandishing of arms, a pose and stridulous
war whoop; and much as though a picture
of the Deerfeld massacre had stepped ont
from the pages Of our history, Logan took
the American Senate by its large, capacious
ear. And then he went for his mother
tongue. lie smote it right and left, hip and
thigh, and showed no mercy. Swinging the
great broad-axe of his logic high in air, he
turned it ere it fell, and with the hammar
side struck the language Of sixty millions OF
people fairly in the face and smashed it be-
yond recognition. Under his stroke the floor
of the American Senate was .psttered with
the remnants of a once proud vocabulary, and
messengers, doorkeepers, and pages were
covered from head TO foot with the spray
In the fearful two hours which followed the
first roar of of his grafton all the parts Of
speech were routed and put to fight. There
were orphaned adjectives and widowed
nouns bachelor verbs driven to poligsmy
and poligamous verbs left lonely; conjunc-
tons discovered propositions scattered, adj
verbs hisheveled and distorted, and syntax
flung into wild disorder. 1t was great day
for Logan.
He set his teeth into the Language as the
untamed tiger Of the jungles takes between
his teeth and paw the wearing apparel of the
wayfarer, and the ripping Of it vas heard
through all the forest depths. 1t reverber-
ated to the other end of the Capitol and
sluggish Representatives lifted up their eyes
and listened to the roar with terrified awe.
Some started for the scene, but being told
the cause of the disturbance in the brief
communication, - Logan's up" turned back
with the full assurance that they could hear
from that end of the Capitol all that was
worth hearing. So through two hours Lo-
gan swung his beautiful arms over the heads
Of the Senate like the booms ola Government
derrick, while his chin churned the Ian
guage like pile-driver in heavy sea, and
the baffled reporters made wild plunges with
their pencils to gather up his regurgitations
for the printer
All, Logan is great mana statesman.
When he throws his intellect intoa question,
whether it is of finance or self-government,
or OF sticking to the ship, something has got
TO come. And you may always know where
to find him-to wit, where he has always
been, drawing pay from the Government in
some capacity He lacks only fifteen or
twenty things of being an orator. He has
lungs.
