Susquehanna. March 22.--Robert Ev-
ans, farmer living at Riverside, near
Great Bend, owes his life to his faithful
dog. A few days since, Evans attend
ed an auction sale of personal property
and bid off large, blooded bull. Dur
ing the sale a number of boys had been
teasing the animal About dark, Ev
ans started to lead the bull home. 1t
had been broken to- lead and appeared
kind Evans was in a hurry and be-
gan to switch the bull, which COM
menced to below fearfuly and paw
the ground. In a moment he attacked
Evans and pinned him down. At the
next instant the infuriated animal
tossed him upon his horns as though
he was but feather weight. At this
juncture, when seconds meant hours to
Evans, the large farm dog was at
tracted to the spot by the shouts of the
man. The intelligent dog took in the
situation at a glance, and, with a rush,
caught the bull by the nose at the mo-
ment he was about to charge upon Ev
ans a second time. The bull could not
disengage himself from the dog, and
he was obliged to give up the fight and
surrender The bull was then secured
and dehorned. and has since been do
Gle as a kitten. Mr.. Evans escaped
with slight injuries That dog is not
for sale.

but this is believed to be a fraud
SSh any doubt uttered in it's pres
is quickly denied by vigorous
Ieams. .on'the part of the turtle.
SOME POLITICAL CHIPS.
A. II. McColum, esq, of Montrose; :;
ex-senator William NJ. Nelson, of Equi-
nunk, and F. p. Kimble, esq, of Homes
dale, are said to be Democratic candi-
dates for state senator for this dis
trict.
Hon. Z. D. Hardenbergh, of Homes
dale. the present able and popular state
senator for this district, will undoubt-
edly succeed himself. His record in
both houses of the Legislature has been
an excellent one. He has been an able,
d-working,v ,vigilant legislator Genial
ana at all times approachable, he is
very popular, and he has always given
excellent satisfaction to his constitu-
ents. He created the Erie bonus bill.
and fought hard for it in season and
out of season. That 1t did not become
a law is no fault of his. He will con-
tinuo to champion the BILL and it will
doubtless yet become a statute. Mr..
Hardenbergh is most popular where he
is the best known.
ANOTHER POPULAR CANDIDATE.
Mr.. c. Fred. Wright, OF Susquehanna
the choice of the Republicans conven-
tions of Susquehanna and Wayne coun-
ties for congress, will undoubtedly sue
ceed Hon. James II. Codding as mem
Der for this district. The remaining
counties in the district will doubtless
in due time, concede Susquehanna
countys claims. Mr.. Wright is in
every way well equipped to make an
able energetic, business member of
congress. He is a successful, honor
able business man, staunch Republ-
can, and a genial. companionable
gentleman. The Republicans Of the old
Wilmet ought to quickly bury their
little sectional issues and send Mr.
Wright to congress with one of it's old.
time rousing majorites.
SIDE ISSUES.
A Binghamton paper has an adver-
tisement of a typewriter, described as
weighing only three pounds; can be
carried in the pocket" 1t will never
koHle popular. Nearly all prefer the
style; weight about l20 pounds; can
carried on the arm; about five feet
~high, with blue eyes and lovely hair
etc.
He was a tramp. Shambling up tc
the door Of a Susquehanna residence
before he had chance to make known
his wants the lady of the house sharp
ly said: I'VE haven't anything to give
tramps, so you might as well go alone
about your business"
The seedy son of rest drew himself
up to fun length. and in an indignant
tone answered: Lady, you wrong me
II is not food I want. should not
dare to eat it. even II you gave 1t tC
me. so long have I tasted. / merely
desired TO borrow your bicycle pump
that may initiate myself and proceed
on my weary way" Then the door
slammed shut aud the incident closed
