A DEADLY CONFLICT.
An United states Marshal Attacked by
Band of MOOnshiners-He Shoots

CHATIASooGA. Tenn, Ap

CHATIANoOGA. Tenn, April ~.
Coffee and GruEdy counties are in an up
roar of excitement over an attack on United
States Deputy Marshall Purdem at Manches-
ter Monday night. The deputy marshal, who
shot down five of the m0onshiners before he
secumbed is in a critical condition, but it is
thought that he will recover. The wounded
moonshiner Clark, who was left at Purdem's s
house for dead, is still alive. The other four
wounded men were carried to the mountains
by mooDshiners and are now secreted in a
cave in the Cumberland range. Thirty of
the mountaineers have banded together to
protect them and are defying the officers.
State, revenue and county officers are scour-
ing thoroughly for the band, and a bloody
conflict will ensue when they meet. 1t is
feared at Manchester that an attempt will be
made to forcibly rescue the wounded moon
sinner, and strong posse of armed men is
organized TO guard him.

TEMPERANCE EDUCATION.
The school Board Unanimously Adopt
The Barnes series.

The barnes series.
Extract from the National Repub-
lican, Washington, ID. O., July IA 1856
The general public in Washington
has prohe5ly never taken such an active
intasest in the selection of school text
books, or any topic, as that manifested
during the past month concerning the
adoption of those to be used in our
schools in obedience to the recent
national temperance education law.
This interest, not confined to the
Woman's Christian temperance union
and other temperance societies, has been
shared by our leading citizens, clergy
men, the parents Of the pupils who will
use the bouks,sand by many members of
congress. who were active in securing
the passagesoffhis act.
The general feeling seemed TO be that
b ,oks that best meet the spirit aud letter
OF the law should be adopted, ii in Its
enforcement it is to have a fair chance.
These views hsve been effectively
urged upon the various members of the
school board, who last night, at their
meeting, carried out the public wish by
unanimously voting the adoption of
what is known as the Barnes series, viz:
The Child's Health Primer for Primary
Grades, Hygiene for Young People for
intermediate Glasses, and Hygienic
Physiology for High and Normal
schools.
These works are, IN the judgment OF
the friends and promoters of this legis-
lation throughout the country, most
fully approved as best calculated to se-
cut,a tha af~ act aimed at. namely. TO
dispel the - palar fallacies in regard
to intnxicants, by teaching the proven
facts Of science concerning them.

Facts and Figures of Public Interest
Fraudulent Charges for the Trans
poration Of Lunatics.
Bismarck Tribune: The people OF
the territory are warranted in feeling
some concern regarding the rate at
which OUT insane hospitals are being
crowded. The admission of them now
averages $50 patients a year, and the ex-
penses for transportation from the var
ious counties to the hospitals equal
about $1,000 a month, notwithstanding
the work of the last Legislature in very
largely reducing the sums to be paid to
the sheritfs for services of this character
Recently there were at one time in the
auditors office, eight vouchers for claims
for such transportation. A singular
feature regarding the inmates of our
hospitals is the large proportion of
Scandinayians to be found there.
1t might be @ matter of interest
ing and profitable investigation to
attempt to discover q reason for this;
some who have given this matter COZ.
siderable attention explain it upon the
grounds that by their habits and the
circumstance of many of them being
able to speak only their own language,
they are confined in their social inter-
course to very nearly the same round of
experience day by day the year through
until they become the moody and brood
ing victims of mental monotony. For
the reasons mentioned, scarcely any.
thing gets into the minds of many of
them to distract their thoughts from the
little %annoyances and troubles, which
are ultimately magniied until the
intellect becomes unsettled and
lunacy ensues. AS an illustration
Of the disposition occasionally found to
make o stake out Of the territorial treas
ury, q bill received at the auditors Office
from a certain sheriff. for transportation
OF insane patients to the hospital at
Yankton, may be mentioned. He took
two patients at the same trip, with the
number of guards allowed by law, and
then rendered his bill as if two separate
trips had been made and in each bill, in
addition to charging railroad fare for
himself, patient and attendant, he like
wise put IN o CLAIM for mileage for the
entire distance at the rate of ten cents a
mile, and furthermore, IN each bill o
claim for each days service OF himself
and attendant. The total of the two

relieved OF the mileage, double railroad
fares for the party and double pay for
official services, the claim was reduced
more thar $3.50 from the claim originally
rendered. 1t is possible that this sheriff
may feel that he has been harshly deal
with in the Office, but Auditor Caldwell.
