BAD WORK IN BOISE.

Most serious news comes down from
Boise caty. We do not know enough of
the facts in the matter to discuss it intell-
igently, but it is clear case that when
any faction Of men 20 to the point of
cutting newspaper Offices, ii is time for
the law to lay its heaviest hand upon
them. Newspapers never permanently
harm honest men. They may sometime
inaict temporary injustice, because the
most careful journalists are only human,
and make frequent mistakes, but the re-
medy is not on the line pursued in Boise.
The evidence seems to thicken that the
present Government of Idaho was an un-
fortunate selection. and that he should be
removed at once. The proof accumulate
daily which emphasize this conclusion
and they come from men who, through
many years, have always been true and
honest. We are not posted as to the bot
tom of the present quarrel there, but il
is clear that it is most serious, and is
liable to lead to the killing Of some good
men, for the average citizen of Boise will
not stand idly by and see any clique OF
ring set the law at defiance. Salt Lake

An old time wedding freak was the
custom Of "Ainging the stockings, at

small importance was attached. 1t has

old writers, and one rhyme, describing Q

But still the stockings are to throw;
Some throw too high and some too low
There's none could hit the mark.

NOT FIGHT WITH BURGLARS.
Thr~e Persons KILLED. One Of Them Being

TIE Nhfftus
A Raleigh On. c. special says A: On
the night Of the 22d February, in
Ocona, 5. c.. the storehouse of the
Messrs. Wilborns was broken into aud
robbed Of $4,000. The clerk next
morning found that an entrance had
been made through the cellar, and that
the safe had been blown open. An
alarm was given, and ii was found
that six negro men and two negro
women had suddenly left the town
that morning. A reward Of $1,000
was offered for the capture Of
the burglars, and the sheriff raised a
posse and started in pursuit. The ne
grOes were eighteen hours in advance Of
the sheriff. and they travelled during
the night and secreted themselves during
the day. They were making for east
Tennessee. and soon reached the noun
tains in this State. They were led by
Ned MacIntyre, who served term III
the penitentiary of this State for lar
ceny. The negroes had crossed Satur-
day last from South Carolina into Swain
county, in this State. Having travelled
all night through the mountains they
stopped a. soon as IL became
light. They found all old house
that was not used and took possession
oft. The smoke from their fire caused
their discovery. The house was sur
rounded and the sheriff read his war
rants and demanded that Maclntyre and
his gang Surrender. The negroes re-
piled that they would fight it out then
and there. The house had one door and
one window and the sheriff and p0SS,
attempted to break these down. The
negroes fired on them and general
fight cnsucd. The door was battered
down, and the sheriff being the first one
to eater was instantly killed by
one blow with an axe in the hands
of one OF the women. Two of
the negro men were killed. Four were
captured. Maclntyre aud one other
escaped. Three Of the sheriii's posse
were severely wounded. The money
was mostly in paper. and was on the
person of Maclntyre. When the fight
commenced MacIntyre jumped through
the window and reached the woods on
a run, although he was fired at several
times. The captured negroes said they
were making their way to Knoxville,
and intended to go from there TO New
York and thence to Siberia. The dead
sheriff and the prisoners were carried
back TO Ocona.
