terrupted by the pistol shot from outside,
and young Baldridge dropped dead. This
was the incentive to promlscuous firing,
for all hands began shooting at random,
and only stopped when overcome BY
drunken stupor. When quiet was re-
stored, it was found that Miss Butler, an
Indian girl, was wounded in the hip, a
Miss Smith was slightly wounded, and
Joe Muskrat was shot through the hand.
The impression is that Baldridge was
murdered by the friend. of Jesse Forman,
whom he killed some years ago.

they generally have cat-and dog fight,

we pronounce excellent. Our province
shall be always to give honor to those to
whom homer Is due; therefore, we say that
Prof. Moseley has in our judgment, prop
eriy instructed the students; or at least
those whom we had the pleasure of hear
ing. We fear, though, that in Prof.
Aosleys pursuit after lilies, that he is
Tampling daisies under foot. We rerv
much desired, as did also some Others
who were present, to hear exercises from
the little ones. While we desire TO see
all progress, just now we are more inter-

SMALL ones, than tadices, and a. plxs b.s
and intricate sentences, about winch the
