The presence of the r~edonbtable Sioux
chief "Rain-in-the-Face,' in the "Wild
West and Forpaugh establishment, which
exhibits at Salem, Monday, April Both,

thrilling incidents illustrated by the n
tingent of scouts, cowboys, cavalrymen
and Indians. Especially significant is his
appearance in the mimic representation OF

Indians, on the Little Big Horn River,
Montana, June %, 10. In that terrible
fray "Rain-in-the- Face" shared with sit
ting Bull'' and "Chief Gaul'' the command
of the Sioux warriors, and tits admitted by
all the Indians who participated in the
bloody battle that he did the most desper-
ate fighting of any Indian engaged there
in. "Rain-in-the-Fac has long since re-
nounced the arts Of war, and for ten years
has led a quiet. exemplary life. He lives
near Standing Rock Agency, Dakota, and
is there looked upon as a genus wizard by
his red brethren. 1t was only after long
paIleys and vexations delays that Mr..
Forepaugh's agents were enabled to secure
his engagement for the present tonr, the
other members of his tribe being loath to
have him leave. Up to March list Of this
wear. "Rain-in-the- Face" had never been
east of Fargo, Dakota. 1t will be in order
for him to write his impressions Of the
ssPale Faces of the East OF his return

In the month of April, twelve years ago,
David C. Tatum. of Ohio, gave an inter
esting and instructive lecture on the evils
resulting from the drink habit, as was
ever delivered before a Woodstown an-
dience. The lecture was given in Hunts
Hall and the hall was crowded. Last Friday
evening week the same gentleman ad-
dressed q slim audience in the Friends
meeting house. Since Friend Tatum's
visit in 1876, the community has rid itself
of one hotel, but we yet complain OF the
existence of tour drinking bars, which fact
prompts me TO believe that Mr.. Tatum does
not think that much progress has been
made towards abolishing The sale of m
toxicants ia our otherwise attractive town.
Mr.. Tatum has been laboring for the tenn
psrance cause Cor over seventeen years.
He has travelled extensively in England
and other foreign countries, and visited
every state in the Union excepting two,
lecturing in his travels, helping the fallen
and gathering information from every
source, from the wretcned victims to the
drinking habit; from managers OF charIta-
Bile institutions and insane asyiums, and
the highest medical authorities in the land.

Other methods of paying bought men were

chase money through the post Office; an

Tne YerKetewn sehool Case.

The Sunbeam says that the case against
the trustees OF the Yorktown shool will
not be tried at the coming term of court.
When the case was called before, it was
discovered that John Tillman, who sued as
guardian, had never been appointed guar
dian. His counsel Immediately moved
that he be appointed nunc pro tnne-that is,
for Court to appoint him now, the appoint
ment to date before the suit was brought.
Counsel for the trustees objected and
claimed that a guardian should be appoint
ed who would be responsible for the costs
should the suit be decided against him.
Judge Reed reserved his decision and has
not yet rendered it, so the lad has no guar
dian yet and the trial cannot come until he
gets one.
