St. Louis, Jan. l9.


For seven years and more past Joseph
Joequel had worked as engineer at the
foundry on the northeast corner of Tcnta
aud Chestnut streets, now owned By Smith
& McMurry, ard was rs familiar with every
piece OF the machinery AID runuing-gea
of the place as child with its toys. But
yesterday about 2 o'clock, while attending
to the main belt in a small gangway, the
belt, suddenly caught his arm, aud carry ing
it around the shaft in its rapid revolutions
absolutely tore it from the socket, throwing
him but a short distance from the place
and dropping The mangled arm between
his legs. He was found dead at the place
where he fell, under the belt, by one Of the
workmen, at ten minutes past ,hres o cock
yesterday afternoon, who, supposing him
asleep, IN attempting to arouse him found
him corpse. Nobody about the building
heard the sound of a cry The supposition
Is that, after hanging up his coat near by,
he was engaged In reaching inside the re
voiving belt for some purpose, when he was
caught and hurled to death.

ing the attention of outsiders, and they are
beginning to loo,, this way, to connec, with

mert, but because they expect to profit
themselves by Joining us.


Mil~aukee would like Rail Road to
ManitowGc, for she thinks she can sec, not
far in the distance, a heavy pouring in Of
travel and freight here from q western
road, and she wants to draw share OF it,
to her own doors.


Appleton and Neenah, and with them
the whole country west, are anxious to
reach our harbor with their freights, and
from here placing it by water communica
ton, upon the Pere Marquette road, 10 the
east.


Green Bay will yet want to make our
acquaintance, for she begins to see that by
so doing, the two places can be benefited.
The editors of the Green bay Aduoca te,
visited Manitowoc few days ago, and on
their return published a short account of
their visit, in which they say:


Manitowoc is now q place probably a.
large as Green Bay, thrifty, energetic and
growing There have been times when its
interests were supposed to be diverse to
those Of Green Bay, but it is difficult to
divine in what possible way they are or can
be so-aDd already it's intelligent and lead
ing men arc discussing the desirabihty, as
we'll as the feasibility, Of rail road con
nectlon with this city. At some other
time We shall speak further upon this sub
ject; and meanwhile it is matter of con-
gratulatlon that in place now so develop
ing in business and size as Manitowoc, and
containing SO many energetic men,a feeling
OF friendship, and disposition to operate
together. rather than TO each other de-
trIment ls growing M


And SO the bali is rolling, and growing
larger in its progress; we say, let it roll.
And may our citizens be ever ready to push
it along-to remove any logs that may
be in the way above all things, do not
,eat for anything; if one project fails. try
another; and the time is short befors We
shall be on the high road to greatness.

But the very means that he has adopted

will express themselves at the ballot box

Besides the fact that ice is Lighter than
water, there is another curious thing about
it which persons do not know, perhaps
viz. its purity. A lump of ice melted
will always become purely distilled water
When the early naVigators of the AIctlc
seas got out Of water they melted frag
ments OF those vast mountains of ice called
ice-bergs, and were astonished to find that
they yielded only fresh water. They
thought that they were frozen salt water,
not knowing that they we're formed on the
land and in some way launched into the
sea. But if they had been right the re
sula would have been all the same. The
fact is, the water in freezing turns out OF
it all that is not water, salt. air. coloring
matter, and all impurities. Frozen sea
water makes fresh water ice. If you
freeze basin of indigo water it will make
it as pure as that made OF pure rain water

Although things look better in Wayne
than we expected to find them, deep

pursued. A large orchard of peach trees,
covering about forty acres. which were
put out in the Spring of 1869, have been
lately leased to a party for ten years at
one thousand dollars per annum. This
lies about a mile from Goldsboro', and
considering the fact that they have not
come into bearing yet and cost very little
to the planter, it is thought to be an ad-

Mr.. Douglass was attempting TO drive
some chickens into his garden, but the
dog occupied the gate and would not let
them pass him. Mr.. Douglass ordered
him away, but the mastiff would not obey
until his owner had thrown several rocks
at him, when he took refuge under the
kitchen. In moment more Mr.. Doug
lass saw his dog with lean steps and
glaring eyes advancing slowly toward
him for fight. Our friend, seeing that
he could not stop the dog by words or
gestures, at once prepared to defend
himself, as fight was impossible As
soon as the dog was near him he arose
on his hind feet and attempted to seize
Mr.. Douglass by the throat. Then en-
sued combat between the man and dog
of about ten minutes duration, and which
for hereeness scarcely has parallel
in such encounters. Mr.. Douglass first
threw ont his left arm, which the dog bit
considerably near the wrist, and with his
right hand caught the infuriated brute by
the throat, and as soon as his left hand
was released from the grip Of the dog he
seized his under jaw with il. Knowing
from every circumstance that the combat
would be lengthy one, as soon as the
first excitement had subsided, Dir. Dossg-
lass ordered his family to close every
door of his dwelling but one, toward
which he gradually but slowly drew the
dog.


Before reaching the steps in front of
the open door the dog had for a short
time partially disengaged himself and bit
Mr.. ID. severely on the left thigh. BY
this time our friend became calm and
collected, and promptly seized the dog
by the under jaw and throat, and then
began to draw the brute toward the open
door. Finally he had reached the door

and began to walk mp them backward,

cover his feet and ascend the steps, Mr..
ID. had entered the house and closed the
open door. The mastiff showed every
disposition TO renew the battle, and
made frantic attempts to enter the win
dows. At last finding ingress impossible,
he took his position and watched the
door closely for Mr.. D., and manifested
by his action that he would attack him
again if he entered the yard. In the
