II was wise conclusion on the part of the
Journal managers, when they abstained from
pnblishinp the attack on Rev. Mr. Bradlee,
simply because he had the courage to vote
for temperance and decency. Ii was rather
rough getting it all in type, though.-NeS
Age.
The above statement. both in what it as
serts directly or indirectly. or insinuatcs
is an utter falsehood. No attack was ever
meditated in the Journal office against
Rev. Mr.. Bradlee, none was ever prepared
there or received from any source what
ever, aud consequently none was ever put
IN type. The New Age editors had better
ask Mr.. Bradlee concerning the fate OF
liars.

qualification to fill the position well. and

4 Western Borgia,

WHITEWATER, WIS.,, December 12.-
Last Tuesday Miss Annie Koran died
suddenly under circumstances indicat-
ing that she had been poisoned;
that about three years before her
father, mother and one sister had died
within a short time of each other un-
der similar circumstances; that though
1T had created talk, nothing was done.
This was revived by Annic's death,
and to settle the question definitely
her stomach was sent to the chemist
for analysis. The deaths of all were
surrounded by complete mystery. No
one has been suspected. The Inter-
ocean has dispatch from Fort Atkin-
SON, where the family formerly lived
and were much respected, which SAYS
tic report was received there from
whitewater, that the third sister, Miss
Ncttic, died there to-day Of poison,
making the fifth member of the fam
and before death Ncttic confessed to
having murdered her parents and two
sisters. 1t is also asserted that she
confessed to poisoning another person,
though this is doubted. No cause is
assigned for the murders. Her own
death was brought about by fear OF
exposure through the analysis of hel
sisters stomach. Ncttic was q school
teacher, and has two sisters still liv-
ing at Fort Atkinson.

ST. LOUIS, December 10.-Gencral
Sherman, this evening, in reply to q
question by representative of the
Associated Press, as to whether or not
he intended to reply to the letter of
Jefferson Davis, recently published in
this city, said he might do so at some
future time, but he should consult his
own convenience; that Davis had not
addressed him but the St. Louis Re
pu6ltcdn, and that if he made any re-
ply it would only be through the War
Department. He further said that he
did not suppose any reporter was at
the meeting Of the Frank Blair Post
OH the night he spoke, as the Grand
Army is an organization only for the
social Interchange Of personal memo
ries; still he admitted that the reports
published contaiucd much of truth,
but not all. He has most of his Louisi-
ana papers, he said, to make good his
assertion that the civil war was forced
upon the people Of Louisiana by con-
spirators in Washington, and that
during the progress Of the Rebellion
Davis changed his views of the doc
trine of secession, and threatened to
use force in case any State of the Con-
fedcracy should attempt what was
then known as "scparatc State action"
The General has already sent to WASH
in&ton some letters and papers bearing
OH the case, but rs to their publication
he stated that the authorities there must
be consulted.

a few new measures were intro
duced- among them the following:
by Mr.. Thomson: A bill to amend

appeals in criminal cases. Also q bill
to regulate elections held for munich
pal purposes and special county cleo
tions.
The following bills received q final
reading:
Bill to make it the duty of all school

roads for damages was discussed to
adjournment. The amendment seeks
TO relieve the roads of responsibility

wrong. The roads arc held liable ONLY
in cases in which they arc guilty of
negligence; but the burden of proving
the absence of negligence is laid upon
the roads. A section is also added
giving the railroads power to charge
20 cents extra when the fare is not
more than so cents, and so cents when
the fare is over that amount, in all
cases when persons who get on at
stations where tickets are offered for
sale or neglect or refuse to purchase
tickets. The bill was then passed to n
third reading by a vote of 80 to SO.

BALTIMORE, December 12.--The of,
ficers of the steamer Mason l.. Wecms.
which arrived this morning from the
Rappahaunock river, Virginia, report
a fearful loss Of life among the colored
oystermcn on that river in the storm of
Tuesday last. About twenty-five col
ored men were out in their boats,
longing for oysters, when the storm
arose. The gale capsized almost all of
them, and those which were not, were
unable to reach the shore i'm safety.
The men were thrown into rough water
ana were unable to swim to the shore
Many of them clung to the boats for a
time, but finally were washed away
and drowned. Very few of them es-
capped. Eleven bodies have been re-
covered already, and as many more arc
SAID to be missing. 1t is scarcely DOS
sible that any Of these latter have cs-
capped death.
Additional intelligence from the
Rappahannock is to the effect that fif-
teen canoes started from the Lancaster
side, above Urbania, to GO to a schooner
on the MiddlseX side to sell their ovs-
ters, when the storm struck them.
There were three or four white men
among them, and the whole number
drowned was twcnty-scven. Two
more bodies (ihirtecn in al) were re-
covered near Mill poim, IA. 20" down
