SEWS ITEMS.
A man who had been wounded in a rail
road accident was denied admission to a
hotel at Oakland, California, because he
might keep the boarders awake; and in the
morning, the boarders all left because ho
had not been cared lor.
A singular coincidence is mentioned in
the Oswego Palladium: "James Clark,
aged seventy-two, and his wife, tame age
of Pulaski, died Saturday night. They
were born, died and were buried on the
same day. Both died of cancer.'
The Herald eets at the root of the
trouble in the Democratic household when it
says: ''If Hendricks could only get it into
his head that he is a candidate for the Vice
Presidency, it would harmonize the Demo
cratio canvass.''
A zealous soft-money Democrat of Toledo
is said to have remarked with much feeling
"If I could only vote for Hendricks and
against Tilden, I could die happy." In
this part of the country they are bsj ing the
same thing, only tney reverse tne names.
Says the Toledo Blade: "With the
thermometer standing at over 90 in the
shade, with a reasonable prospect of the
WOrlU'S cuming IU U eud, and CTory man
being immediately brought to an account
for his actions, there are men who actually
intend to vote the Democratic ticket this
fall."
The President has not signed the Silver
bill. The Treasury officials say the section
authorizing the exchsnge of $10,000,000
silver for a like amount of legal tender notes
will be practically inoperative, the Treasury
not having ihe silver on hand. The amount
coined is only sufficient for the redemption
of the fractional currency.
The cotton worm has appeared in great
abundance in all the cotton fields in Mid
dle and South Alabama. They seem to be
general, and fears are entertained, owing
to their advanced state at this early date,
ef the total destruction of the crop, 'Ihe
eorn crop will be the be9t ever grown.
New York, July 13. A special from San
Francisco guys: ' Advices from Los Ange
las state that daylight was let through the
San Fernando tunnel on the 15th. This is
the longest tunnel in the United States ex
cept the Hoosac, and the last completed of
eighteen on the line of the Southern Pacific
There will now be a continuous railroad
from this city nearly to Fort Yuma, a dis
tance of nearly 600 miles."
Chicago, July 12. The municipal elec
tion for Mayor to-day resulted in the elec
tion of Monroe Heath by the following
vote: Total vote, 30,072; Heath over Mo
Grath, 15,798; Keath over Kimball, 11,613!
Heath over both, 8,250. Heath carried
seventeen out of eighteen wards. The
Tribune claims this is a Btraight-out Re
publican victory.
New York, July 22 A Bismarck,-D. T.,
special says the scouts who have returned
to Gen. Terry's headquarters, report see
ing the Indians in the Big Horn mountains,
realy for a fight. The Bcouts were driven
back again and again. Colonel Huges, of
General Terry's staff, who has arrived at
Bismarck, does not credit the reports of
Sitting Bull's death. He doubts whether
the troops, as reinforced, will be able to
engage the Indians. General Terry has
asked for artillery. Arrivals from the
Black Hills report no traoes of Indians
there, but bring big stories of gold, It is
olaimed that one company of four men
have taken out $1S0,000 in gold in the past
three months. Many people on tho Hills,
however, are idle and destitute.
Washington, D. C, July 22, 1876 Gen
eral Sherman says that all the available
troops in the North and West have been or
dered to the Indian country, and that the
number will be amply sufficient to defeat
tho hostile tribes. He does not believe,
however, that the Indian question can be
settled until the Government enters upon a
policy of depriving the Indians ef their
ponies, and compelling them to go on foot.
When this is done the Indians will be com
paratively powerless, and those upon their
reservations will never venture to leave to
go upon the war path. In regard to the
reperted death of Sitting Bull General
Sherman says it will make but little differ
ence whether it is true or not as the In
dians have fully twenty as capable war.
riors to command in case of a battle. The
Senate has passed the bill appropriating
on hundred thousand dollars to begin the
completion of the Washington monument.
St. Paul, July 20. A Pioneer Press
and Tribune Hpecial from llisniarck
says the statement that Bitting Bull
was killed in the light with Custer is
confirmed from Indian sources. Crazy
Horse and Blaknioon were also killed.
The statement that Sitting Bull's
band of Uncpapaa lost one hundred
and sixty killed, and that the total
loss of the Indians will reach nearly
four hundred, is renewed. Six com
panies of the Twenty-second infantry
left Bismarck to-day on the steamer
Carroll to reinforce Terry. Nearly all
the bucks are absent from the found
ing liock camp, and have undoubt
edly joined . the hostiles.

MAND TBS TROOPS IS rsmsoK.
Cheyenne, July 24. The courier who left
Goose creek on the evening of the 16th, ar
rived at Fort Fctterman Saturday, night.
His delay was caused by having met At
Powder river a body of two hundred In
dians, from whom he escaped, hiding him
self in the timber for twenty-four hours,
one IndinD following bis trail nine miles.
He says they were dvidenily waiting for
him, and fears that the couriers who were
sent from Fetlerman on the 16th Inst, with
dispatches for Crook have been intercepted,
ss he saw their trail this side of the river,
but not beyond. His delay run him out of
rations, compelling him to fast two days.
He left all quiet in camp. The hostile
Sioux are believed to be north of Goose
creek forty miles, and not far from the
scene of the late massacre on the Little
Big Horn. They have not fired into the
enmp lately, nor attempted to burn it out,
although the parched condition of the grass
renders this somewhat easy; at least the
animals may be robbed of their sustenance.
The wagon train gives them supply until
October. The command moved seven
miles north on the day of the courier's de
parture to another branch of Tongue river,
near the foot of the Big Horn Mountains,
where they will emip until the Fifth
Cavalry, which will leave Fort Laramie on
Monday, reaches it about the 0th of
August. General Crook wilt make no ag
gressive movement until this event, and
when, if the couriers whom he has dis
patched to Terry advising him to join him
succeed in reaching that command he will
have made a junction with Terry, the next
action will prove a decisive one. Nothing
has transpired not already reported per
taining to General Merritt's late engage
ment wilhijthe Cbeyennes.
The Indian killed by Buffalo Bill was
nnmed Yellow Hand, a young chief. The
agent at Red Cloud admits that up to this
date one thousand Sioux and twelve hun
dred Cheyennes have left that agency for
the north, and it is believed no more will go.
The Btage Saturday brought in $10,000 in
dust from Deadwood. Mr. Gardner, a
reliable man- who has spent five weeks in
traversing that region, intcut on satisfying
himself of its richness, reports marvellous
discoveries being made, and half a million
dollars await transportation. He saw in
possession of Mr, Bcary, of this city, one
nugget weighing one hundred and forty
seven dollars, and a number ranging from
$5 to $50. He brings also seven hundred
pounds of sample quartz for smelting.
Washington, D. C, July 24. Great ao
tivity prevails at army headquarters in
forwarding loops and supplies to the scene
of war in the mountains of the Blue Horn.
General Sherman, by a judicious distribu
tion of the troops doing duty on the
Atlantic seaboard, has been able, notwith
standing the limited forces at his command,
to respond to the calls of General Sheridan
for more troops. This will enable him to
renew the operations of the army in the
savage couutry with increased vigor and
prompt and decisive results. The last of
the detachments are now on their way
westward. In the meantime Lieutenant
General Sheridan reports from Chicago
that everything is progressing satisfac
torily, and will be in shape for a resump
tion of active operations in a few weeks.
According to official intelligence received at
headquarters here, as soon as the neces
rary preparations are made and the sup
plies forwarded, the Lieutenant General
will take the field and superintend the
operations of the troops in person, as he did
in bis eminently successful winter campaign
of 1858-60 against the Cheyennes, Kiowas,
Arapahoe and Comanches between the
Platte and the Red river of the South.
General Sherman will remain in Washing
ton directing the general movements of tuo
troops and providing all meaus in his power
to insure the success of the campaign. The
plan of campaigu determined upon is a com
bined movement of three columns, with
Fort Ellis as the base. Two of the columns
will move directly against the Indians and
one against their villages. General Sheri.
dan will, aocoiding to his present plan, in
all probaility establish his headquarters in
the field at some advantageous point on
Goose creek, about forty miles northwest
of Fort Phil Kearney, and near the point of
Crook's battle of the Rosebud on June
17th. The troops of the different columns
will aggregate about three to four thousand,
with all the physical features of the oountry
decidedly against them.

MYSTERIOUS D1S APPEARANCE OF ANDREW D.
CRAIG, OF MERCER OOUNTT FOUL PLAT
SUSPECTED.
Mr. Andrew D. Craig, whom it will be
recollected furnished the information to
officer Perkins of the U.S. Secret Service
that led to the arrest of John Thomas ani
other members of the Argraves band of
counterfeiters in Metcer county, has mys
teriously disappeared, and no traces of him
can be found. He left this city on the
loth of April, staling to Perkins that he
was going bacit to Mercer county, and
strange to relate nothing has been heard or
seen of him since He is the principal wit
ness for the government in the trial of
counterfeiter at the terra of the United
States Court which meets in this city next
week. Craig had joined Argraves' gang
for the purpose of gelling facts by which to
break it up and had so worked into the
members' confidence that they really
thought him a counterfeiter like themselves.
When be turned and gave the U. S. officers
information that led to the arrest of Bix of
the gang, the feelings of the remainder
turned to bitter hate, and it is supposed
that he was assassinated and buried in the
lonely woods of Mercer couoty. Craig
lived near Mercer and bis friends have
searchodhigh and low, United States de
fectives have been hard at work, miles of
territory have been scoured and not the
slightest clue found to his mysterious dis
appearance. He left Erie April 13th and
his family are residing near Morcer are
very anxbus as to his fate.
The general opinion is that be was de
ooyed from the train into the woods, on
some specious plea and then and there
cruelly murdored, bo that he could not give
testimony at the session of the United
States Court to convict the imprisoned
counterfeiters. Last year in Virginia an
important witness tor the government in a
similar case, was found dead in the woods,
his body full of bullet holes. Whoever did
the deed covered up his traoes well and is
without doubt an expert in the business

CarlBohun made no idle remark when
he recently said that physically Tilden was
a frail, feeble man, and might die before
Ihe expiration of bis term, were be elec.
led. A Democratic paper the Cincinnati
Enquirer, we believe--stales that, while
he is not paralyzed, be has a withered arm,
powerless and useless, and that, while he is
not blind, be bus one eye that squints
badly, which is so defeotive that be can
scarcely see any thing out cf it. Tilden
is a slightly-built, little, frail old man. He
weighs scarcely 120 pounds, and is crab
bed, sour, and petulant; speaks with a
nasal twang; is childless and unmarried:
never respeeted man nor loved woman, and
has devoted bis whole life to money grab
bing and selfish ambition. He is now
nearly 63 years old, and tottering towards
bis end, lie is not the man the American
people want for tbeir President nor the
red men for their ''Great Father' ,
