‘A FEW days ago a hired man named Robert. Bricknell entered the park of General Bull, at Bull’s City, Kansas, for the purpose of feeding the animals inclosed therein. One of the elks showed a belligerent disposition, and the man hastily withdrew and informed General Bull of the circumstance. Both men then armed themselves with clubs and entered the inclosure together, when the elk charged on Mr. Bull, knocking him down and piercing him through with his antlers, killing him instantly. The infuriated animal then turned upon Bricknell and’ mortally wounded him. George Nicholas and William Sherman rushed to the rescue, and gave battle. Sherman was caught and tossed over the fence, and Nicholas was thrown up, lodging on the fence. A number of farmers arrived, and the elk was vanquished. An examination of the body of General Bull developed forty-four wounds. The fatal one was by the antlers, which pierced the chest-through both lungs and the heart, causing instant death.. Bricknell received thirty-two wounds, and George Nicholas sixty-four. A later dispatch announces the death of Bricknell, and that Nicholas was not expected to live. , A RECENT statement of the operations of the Patent Office for the last fiscal year shows that during the twelve months ending June 30 last there were 19,300 applications for patents received, 2,674 caveats filed, 12,471 patents issued, 1,547 trade marks and labels registered, and 828 patents granted but withheld for payment of final fees.

A dispatch was received by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs from Inspector W. J. Pollock, Denver, Col., saying: ‘“The Governor and leading citizens here unanimously- affirm that the Indians must be removed from the State or exterminated by the State, if not by Federal forces. Confidence, they say, can never be restored, and it is only a question .of whether the result will be attained at once, or by slow and tedious warfare.” , A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 19th says, on the ‘authority of Speaker Randall, that the Committee charged with the revision of the House rules had reduced the number of the present rules from one hundred and sixty to fifty, and had so simplified them that it would be in the power of every member of ordinary eapacity to understand them.

- PORTLAND (Oregon) dispatches pub-’ lished on the 19th say General Grant had told a reporter in that city that he expected to go direct to Galena from that coast, and would remain there a short time before attending the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee at Chicago, and would in all probabiltymake Galena his future home.

In theevent of peace being established, it was thought piobable that a permanent military post would be constructed either at Bear River or the Agency. News from the Southern Ute Agency up to the 14th, received at Del Norte, Col., on the 20th, was to the effect that the captured wo'nen and children of the White River Agency were safe, but would probably not be given up till after matters were arranged by a Peace Commission expected from Washington.

INDIAN AFFAIRS. ‘ A Dispatch from Lieutenant-General ‘ ‘Sheridan—The Troops Under Gen= eral Merritt Ordered to Suspend i Further Pursuit of the Utes—The Recent Outrages in New Mexico. ; WASHINGTON, October 19. _The following dispatch is published here to-day. : *CHICAGO, October 17, 1879. “To General Sherman: : ‘ General Merritt says, in a dispatch just received, that he intends to march in pursuit of the hostile Indians to Grand River on the 15th, and from there to the Uncompahgne Agency, where he requests siupplies to be sent. Subsequently your dispatch of October 13 was sent him, with orders to obey the directions therein given, and 1 presume this will gtop him. Your dispatch should have reached him on the 15th. General Merritt and General Crook, the. Department Commander, are at a loss to ‘know what to do,and soam 1. There are fifteen hundred or gixteen hundred men at White River. Their road to the TUncompahgne Agency is over the main range of the Rocky Mountains, and is very bad, and the danger of being caught by winter snow should be seriously entertained. We went to the White River Agency at the sgolicitation of the Indian Bureau, whose agent was murdered, and our men killed and wounded, and now we are left in the heart of the mountains with our hands tied: and the danger of being snowed in staring usin the face. 1 am not easily discouraged, but it looks as though we had been pretty badly sold out in this business. It is folly to say that the murderers of the Agent and Major Thornburg must be punished. How are they to be punished? Who is going to punish them, and how long are the troops to wait at the Agency for it to be done? I will direct Crook to throw into theagency all the supplies he possibly can as the only course left open. ‘P, H. SHERIDAN, Lieutenant General.” Since the receipt of the above dispatch from General Sheridan he has been directed by General Sherman to withdraw -the troops under General Merritt, and order them to their proper stations, leaving at White River Agency only a sufficient number of men to guard the Government property. - The troops now at Wshite River Agen.cy belong to the Department of the Platte, and will, under this order, with the excerption of those left at the Agen¢y, return to their respective stationsin that depurtment. A force will be concentrated at some point in the Southern Ute Reservation to conduct operations against that tribe should they fail to deliver up the parties engaged in the killing of Major Thornburgh. General McKenzie, commanding the Fourth Cavalry, will probably be placed in charge of the latter force.

: GALVESTON, October 18.. The News’ special from Messilla, N. M., says it is stated that at Mescalero the Apaches were forced to leave the reservation near Fort Stanton by the action of the agent at that place.

Nine men were killed by the Indians, who surrounded the towns. Only thirty riflesin the Flace. The volunteers dispersed the Indians and raised the siege. The Indians have gone to the Florida Mountains, thirty miles south of Fort Cummings, whence they can easily go into Mexico. Major Morrow, near Jonas, fifty miles from here, has sent for thirty days’ provisions. Most of the warriors from the Mescalero Agency joined the hostiles. gt ! :

An Old Story in a New Dress. M. C., HAVING broken an indispensable article of table porcelain, goes to the dealer from whom he had purchased the set to endeavor to replace it. ¢ Have you any objection to breaking up a set?” he says. ‘I bought one from you last week, and one piece is smashed. It is like this. How much’ll you take for that sugarbowl there, without the cover?”’ 4 ; ‘« Well, the price is fifteen francs with the cover; but I'll let you have the bowl by itself for fourteen. You see, the cover doesn’t amount to much—in oint of fact I may say it is worthless—gut it would look absurd not to make some deduction, so I'll knock off one franc for the cover.” . = ¢ What, one franc only? Surely, the cover must be worth more than one frane.”’ : : @ ¢¢ No, sir; in reality it isn’t worth more than half a frane, but seeing it's youl’ll call it afranc and let you have the bowl for fourteen.” » 1 th, by Jove, what an ass I've been! It wasn't the bowl that my wife told me was broken—it was the cover. How funny of me, how stupid! It isn’t

the bowl qu,tt,'it»’s the cover. Here is yourone frane, don’t mind wrapping it up.” (Vanishes into the infinite azure of the street.) . . o ‘ Brigand!” (Faints.)—Paris Figaro.

: S¢ENOCH ARDEN.” John Morningstar, After Twenty Years’ Absence, Returns from California a Wealthy Man—His Wife Married to Another Man. ‘ . " This delightful rural county seat is now enjoying a sensational affair that has eclipsed anything of a romantic nature ever- known -in this section of - Hoosierdom. It is replete with startling developments, and could by the abfiity of a dramatist be shaped into an intensely interesting -play. Here it is all the talk, for nothing has so deeply engrossed the attention of the people as this romantic and novel affair. The facts, as briefly narrated, are as follows:: Twenty years ago there lived in Illinois a young man named John Morning~ star. Himself, wife and infant daugfiter constituted his family. They were in indjgent circumstances, and it was not long ere John enlisted in the regular army, and upon the breaking out of the rebellion he with his regiment was dispatched to the South for a:tive servdce. - : In an engagement that followed John was wounded and separated from the regiment of which he was a member. As time went by he conceived the happy plan of removing to the Golden State and there engaging in mining’, with the hope of' securing to. himself and the loved ones dt home -a sufficent amount of this world’s zoods.to enable them tolive in easy cC.ccumsstances. He accord-. ingly journeyed to California, and there engaged himself at work as a common laborer and miner. And there we leave " him to return to what had once been his ,home. : i | { His wife awaited the return of her husband, but he came not. Four or five years passed away, and yet no John came to occupy afather’s and husband’s place. Shortly after this Mrs. Morningstar married again, having given her husband up as a sacrifice to his country’s cause. - The second husband,. one Ben Scott, a drayman, Tocated here: in this growing town and carried on: his business, barely able to support his. family. Time flew, and the young irl grew to womanhood. To support fierself she worked out among friends, receiving the ~customary servant-girl's wages. S In the meantime the.now forgotten John Morningstar kept on with his pick and shovel. He several times wrote to: his former home, but his letters never reached his wife.” She, giving him up as dead, removed to Fowler, as stated before. Had he been able to secure funds to defray his expenses he would long ago have returned and sought his family, but the. inevitable something hindered, and the invitation to con- - tinue prospecting among the mountains of California- remained open as far as poor, unfortunate John was concerned. Twenty years had- passed, when, prospecting in 4 new region, he struck a bonanza, and John was almost instantly - converted into a ' Creesus. He sold his claim and struck out for Illinois, his _pockets full of money. His search for his wife and ‘child soon brought him to Fowler, and when yesterday he came and found another in his place there was a surprise ~little less than a calamity. The situation may be imagined—Scott and wife in their poverty-strickenr home .confronted by this modern Enoch Arden. Mrs. Morningstar Scott is ima quandary. The law says that an absence of seven ‘years without any intelligence received of the missing man during the time is prima-facic evidence of his death, but since Mrs. Morningstar married before the close of the seven years after her hushand’s disappearance it rather complicates aftaivs.— Fowler (Ind.)
