A CLOSE CALL.

Geo. Clayton, we'll known in Wausau,
came east from Portland, Oregon, on
the same train that brought Mrs. l..
X Wright and son east. Being an old
friend of Mr.. and Mrs d. Altenberg, he
was at their home some time before the
train started and was to meet them all
at the depot. Out there instead of bills
most of the money is in gold, and Geo.
had exchanged his for bills. Mr.. Clay
ton went down town and attended to
several errands and getting very close
to train time he took a short cut for the
depot. This cut led him through the
tough part of the city He had not
gone far before a thug knocked him in
sensible from behind and who at once,
no doubt, commenced his search for
gold, not finding any he went away in
disgust or was frightened away. George
was found by policemen a few moments
afterwards, and as he had a cash of
about two inches long in his scalp
and was bleeding profusely, they want
ed to take him to physician, but he re-
vived sufficiently to tell them that he
wanted to take the outgoing train for
the east, and he his friends quite
a scare, when the saw him coming
with>a policeman on either side of him
Explanations followed and he was soon
all right again, congratulating himself
on having taken the precaution to eX-
change his gold for paper money. He
cannot figure out any other way by
which the fellow overlooked what he
hadA Mr~Clayton went On 10 Oshkosh

T. w. Russell, NJ. p, severely CRITICS
ing the action Of the chief secretary
regarding the Irish land bill He
characterized the attempt to send the
bill to grand committee as non
contentious measure, as audacious and
unreasonable, and said he would rather
the bill perished fifty times than that
Clause 3G should lind it's way upon the
statute book. There could be no COM
promise on that point, as a bill with
that provision would be curse to the
Irish tenantry.
