DrBLIS, Dec. l8.--Intense excitement
was created here by the report that q
serious riot had taken place at Ballyna-
hill, where MIR. Parnell and Mr.. Davitt
were both holding meetings Of their
factions. Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Dayitt
were speaking at the same place at the
same time. SO close together were the
meeting places that the yoices of the or
ators Of one party were plainly audible
! 10 those OF the others. The speeches
were of most violent character. and
the words of the speakers were inter-
rupted by cheers,
InsuIting Jeers and Defiant Cries,
Mr.. Parnelrs appearance was the, signal
for mighty outbuFst of applause from
his adherents. While Mr.. Parnell was
speaking there were m any fights going
on in the square. The melee became
almost general, blackthorns and ash
plant sticks being used vigorously. Mr..
Davitt took a PROMINENT part IN the
fighting and soon started FOR the wagon
4 from which Mr.. ParneHNwas speaking.
He Received many blows and was pretty
badly used up befoie he was compelled
to desist from his purpose OF meeting

ParnelI party drove to Castle Conner,

he was obliged TO aIight &C Iaborer's

was called, but could do little to assuage
the pain. He urged that Parnell should
be driven Immediately to Kilkenny for
proper treatment. The start was made,
but Mr.. Parnell was unable to endure
the agony, and another stop had to be
made at hotel ON the road, where
another doctor endeavored to relieve
the sufferer by applying castor oil to his
eyes and attempting TO scrape off the
lime with the point Of lead pencil.
Some slight relief was thus afforded,
and Mr.. Parnell finally reached the Vic
toria hotel in Kilkenny where he had to
be led to q room, being unable to use
his eyes. A surgeon was summoned,
who states that all the lime is removed
from the eyes, but that Mr.. Parnell Is
still suffering greatly and win probably
be disabled for time. He anticipates
that the results will not be serious.

The official report Of Sitting Bulls death
has been received here. The cavalry at
this point had received orders to start
at 8o'clock Tuesday morning, but Gen,
Miles wired orders towait and see the
effect Of Sitting Bulls death on the
Indians here. No.one knows just when
the troops will move, but they are kept
in constant readiness TO start. A liyesy

of the fate of their great leader. Gen.
Brooke, however, scouts the idea that
there Is the slightest danger Of q local

that the troops are in pursuit Of the

they will soon be captured. He does

reaching the Bad Lands TO Join the hos
tiles who fed thither, and after whom
Gen. Brooke had dispatched force. As
1t is hardly probable that Sitting Bulls

ST.. PAUL. Dec. l6.--A courier from
Standing Rock has reached Bismarck,
whence the following account Of the
/ fight in which Sitting Bun was killed 10
telegraphed:
The police under Bull Head, lienten-
ant OF police, aud shave Head, FIRST SER
'geanf, went into camp near Sitting
Bulls village Sunday night, and Nom
day morning went into Bull's camp and
made the arrest.
Sitting Ball expressed his Willingness
TO 60 with them, but wanted to make
some preparations for the ride and or
dered his horse To be gotten ready.
While Bull Head and Shave Head
were in the shack where the old chief
was getting ready two bucks, anyeloped
in blankets, entered the shack, and,
throwing of their blankets, opened fire
on the police.
Sitting Bulls wife had gone out and
set up howl, which seems TO have been
the signal for the assault In the fight
which followed
Red Tomshawk killed sitting REii.
Ten or more OF Sitting Bulls followers
were killed. Seven police were killed,
and Bull Head and Shave Head were
desperately wounded and will undoubt-
etily die.
The police ware now surrounded, but
at this juncture Capt. Fetchet with his
Gatling gun and "Hotchkiss" reached
the scene and attacked the Indians, who,
after an hour and half of hotskirmish-
ing took to flight and disappeared into
the timber. The camp with the dead
and wounded was taken at once.
It Ii considered that the trouble is
now ended so far as Standing Rock

Not the Same.

Into the store of a Boston stationer
one day recently there came a man in
the dress of a wOrkingman, who was
evidently at once a foreigner and not
overgifted with briIIiancy of intellect.
He made up to one of the clerks, and
with an air of hesitation, as if doubtful
whether he had come to the right
place, asked in broken English for
some "overalls."
Those you viii find at the clothing
store just down the street, the clerk
said.
The customer looked puzzled.
81 did gone there" he said, "and I
did request them for envelopes, and
here is it that they do send me.
The clerk was quick enough to see
where the trouble lay, and gOod-na-
tured enough to explain to the foreign
or the difference between envelopes
for letters and envelopes for the legs
of labOrers, and the man went back to
the clothing store where, no doubt, he
found what he wanted

A TiInid Cat.

re is an old cat in Cobbham, a
suburb of Athens, that lately called
forth much interest from its owners by
its mysterious behavior. Since the de-
structive cyclone at Louisville and other
Western cities, carrying in its mouth
death and destruction, this Cobbham
cat has grown quite curiosity in the
feline tribe. Every time it thunders
and dark clouds roll over the canopy of
heaven in a manner that threatens q
storm, the cat begins to tremble pite-
Ously and scream in the most weird
and frightful accents of its tale of woe.
When the lightnings flash from cloud
to cloud the cats agony seems to know
no limit, and it rolls over and over,
yelling in the widest way possible.
Even at the dead hour of night this
mysterious cat Will rush frantically into
the room Of its mistress when clouds
appear and Eill scream in such terror
that the lady oftentimes has to arise
and nurse it in its fright. The cat is a
large black animal and has one eye,
the other having suddenly disappeared
recently. The cat is the property Of
one Of the leading families Of Cobb
ham. -SdUdYlYIGh Ne1CS,

In travelling with dog teams in the
winter season, it is customary to make
deposits, or caches, of food along the
way for the use Of the dogs on the re-
turn journey. In driving from Fort
Garry to st. Paul, several years ago, a
party Of surveyors and sportsmen fol-
lowed this usage, and had a good
chance to study dog character.
At Pine River Cline made a cache of
pemmican in the river, some distance
from our track, to be taken up on his
return. A hole was cut through the
ice, then about fifteen inches thick.
and buffalo hide thong having been
tied around the bag, and fastened to a
stick, it was let down into the water.
just below the ice, the stick being
stretched across the Orifice.
Lumps Of ice were then piled on the
bag Of pemmican, and water poured on
them. The temperature of the air be-
ing at the time considerably below
zero, the water froze the instant it
touched the ice, and bound the masses
together in one block. Fresh ice being
added, and water poured on it, the hole
soon became filed with a solid mass.
This operation was continued until a
mound one foot above the frozen sur
face of the river was accumulated over
the cache.
AS I was returning with Cline to the
place where we had left the carioles
and dogs, we observed two OF these
sagacious animals quietly watching our
proceedings from the bank of the river.
Cline, with an exclamation of anger
and surprise, remarked, "Now, if we
don't take care those cOnfounded dogs
Will try to get at the pemmican to-
night. 1 know them of old: they
served me that trick once before.
Well tie them tonight. The con
sciOus dogs, with tails depressed,
started at gallop back to the carioIes
when they saw CIne's threatening
mien.
In order to prevent the breaking
open Of the cache by the dogs, which
might be the source of great incon-
Yenlence, and perhaps of suffering to
the men on their return, we pushed on
for several miles before we camped.
Cline counted the dogs after supper,
but neglected to tie the spies; having
found that none had strayed, he
thought they might be trusted, and
wrapping himself in his blanket he
soon went to sleep.
- We arose long before daylight, &C
cOrding to our custom, and several
dogs were soon ascertained to be miss
ing. After a rapid search ID the neigh
bOrhOOd, Cline instructed two of the
men to make a circle round the camp,
and examine all tracks by torchIght.
In very short time one of them came
back, saying that fresh dog tracks
pointed in the direction of Pine River,
where we had cached the pemmican.
Three or four men Instantly started
back, and found the dogs busiIy en-
gagged in scratching at the cache. 1t
was so thoroughly frozen that they had
made little impression on the small
mound Of ice, but no doubt time and
perseverance would have enabled them
to reach the supplies beneath.
