A Bad lilitii from Bo«lio.
Virginia (Nev. 1 Chronicle.
There were half a dozen peaceable citizens in a Cstreet saloon last night taking their toddies and talking over the situation at Chicago between drinks. Kot one in the crowd could be considered a fight ing man, three of them being militia oflficera. two mining experts from Skowhegan, Maine, and the other a reformed preacher. The discussion was at its height, and the R. P. was just asserting, at the same time throwing down the toady spoon viciously, that he would be eternally tortured if any man could make him admit that a third term was right, when the door oponed suddenly and a stranger entered with a swagger. The stranger wore his hat very much down over his left eye, carried his lower jaw like the cow catcher of a locomotive, bent his shoulders down, and had the general appearance of a very bad man. He slouched up to the bar, picked up a glass containing the prospective drink of one of the militia officers, drained the tumbler, and turned toward tho ex-parson. “So ycr won’t admit that a third term’s the true business? Well, now, I’m teilin’ yer that it’s my racket, and when Bowie Bill pitches the card every scrub in camp has jest got to feller suit or trump.” With these introductory remarks, the stranger drew a bowio knife and jabbed the silver dollar that had been placed upon the bar for the drinks.

A Special from Washington says that “it is understood among the personal friends of General Hancock that he will, prior to the publication of his letter of acceptance, tender his resignation to the President as Major General of tho United States army.” Down in South Carolina the women take to fighting in a heroic manner. At Darlington Eugenic Bristow and Jane Ham, two woman, got into an angry discussion and from words to blows. Eugenie managed to choke her adversary while down, when Jane made a desperate efl'ort and pushed Eugenie backward, causing her to fall against a table, the concussion crushing in the skull and killing her.

Insanity caused by a cat bite is not a conunon occurrence, hut here is a case reported from Boswell, Indiana: Mrs. Jane Reynolds, a daughter of Mr. John Richards, has become insane, and was taken from her father’s home to the Insane Asylum at Indianapolis. Mrs. Reynolds is the woman who was bitten by a favorite cat, a prisoner in a steel-trap set for rats, and which bite developed into hydrophobia after a lapse of two years. Although she recovered partially from tho elfects of the bite it occasioned her

I' \ Washington oomss the following in regard to the “tone” tho people pay for: “Theodore R. Davis, the well-known aitist, delivered at the White House the famous new State dinner service, for which he was commissioned to draw the design, and which Haviland & Co., at Limoges, have been a year in completing for his designs. The service consists of more than 500 pieces, which it cost the manufacturer $20,000 to make. Tho entire work is essentially an American production, as Haviland himself is a Pennsylvania Quaker, who settled at Limoges because he found a finer quality of clay there. Each of these 500 pieces is a work of art, representing in great variety the llora and fauna, aud the natural scenery of America.”

Their menagerie] is a monster affair, containing the most complete collection of wild beasts and birds on exhibition; their positively great circ« is led by the renowned bareback
champion equestrian, James Robinson, which is enough to say in that regard, and among their special possessions will be found two full grown, Living allippopotatni, the only pair over imported; the largest herd of elephants ever seen in parade; a stupendous Arctic Aquarium of Sea Lions and Amphibious Polar Marvels; the only drove of Six Performing Colorado Cattle; the only Two-horned, Hairy Rhinoceros, which tremendous brute, it will be remembered, nearly demolished a locomotive at Pittsburg, Pa.l the only WilliaJCobb Miniature Circus; the only King Sarhro's Royal Japanese Circus, and the genuine Electric Light and Motor, which is exhibited both af-

The observance of Independence Day in Greeneastle this year: On Sunday, July 4, the services at the different churches partook of the character of the day, the sermons especially being delivered upon themes suitable to the
occasion.
Monday r , July 5, was set apartt by citizens generally to be publicly observed and celebrated as Independence Day. Early ih the morning the patriotic small boy, and big boy, too, began burning powder, and tho “bang and fizz” was kept up incessantly all day, while music, both vocal and instrumental, was plenty and
to spare.
The executive committee deserve great credit for the arrangements made and the entertainment afforded our citizens, for it was through the effectivo work of this committee that the successful programme was arrahged. The different divisions for the grand parade met at the points designated, under command of the marshals, and moved off, headed by the Grecncastle Cornet Band. Noticeable in tho procession was the Brick Ohapel Sundayschool delegation, numbering 277, to which was awarded the $20 special premium. Greeneastle trade and industry was well represented. The Express Companies had their vvagons decorated in fine style, Hays’s Trade Emporium, Weik & Co., Howe & Vermilion, Chas. Kiefer, 0, 0. Talbott, the sewring machine agents, T. G. Bowman & Co., John Wilson, and many other of our business interests were represented in the procession with decorated wagons. The Greencastle Fire Department, with engine, reels, etc., was out in full force; the county and city’ officers, speakers, and officers of the day were there in carriages. The artillery pieces belonging to the Asbury Cadet Corps attracted a large share of attention, while the martial band composed of infants of about 12 years of age drew better than a mustard plaster. The procession was near a mile long, passed over the route as announced last week, and disbanded at tho speaker’s stand, at University Campus. The proceedings at the stand were characterized by brevity, appropriateness and good feeling. Hon. D. E. Williamsun piesided, and short, eloquent, well received addresses were delivered by Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Rev. W. W. Curry. The Declaration of Independence was read by H. II. Matthias, Esq., and prayer was offered by Dr. Martin. At the conclusion of tho exercises at the stand tho city fire department was called out by’ a false alarm coming from corner of Hanna Street and College Avenue—the run was made and water thrown
inside of six minutes.
During tho afternoon balloons, some of them quite large, were sent up every few minutes, the bands discoursed music about tho streets, and the people enjoyed the time as best pleased them. At night the display of fireworks was large and pleasing. The make-up of many of the pieces was new and novel, while the standard rockets, Roman candles, serpents and crackers were as usual. Taken all in all, tho celebration of the Fourth in Greeneastle was eminently suecessful. Tho crowd in attendance was estimated at about seven thousand. No serious accidents happened, tho crowd was good-humored and well-behaved; there was but little drunkenness; in fact, tho day, the exercises and the people were such as deserve good wishes and
compliments.
A tramp in West Virginia stole a ride
My friends here have had six of them, and I’ll take the other two myself. I’m Chief of the Bodie and a rip snorter to fight; and I’ve come to this camp to drink up all ycr whisky an’ raise hell.” The barkeeper took the dollar cautiously from tho point of the knife and set out tho whisky bottle and two glasses, taking care to keep at arm’s length from the counter. The crowd seemed to lose all interest in politics at once, and drew away from tho Bad man from Bodio at once. Every man of the six wanted to slide out quietly, and all started at the same moment to put their Eiido into execution. Each one assumed an air ot abstraction, as though ho had not been one of the crowd, and moved toward the door. The Bad Man checked the exodus by stepping out with his knife, and saying: “Now there’s some here that’s just dyin’ ter ask all ter drink ter Grant’s health, and we’re all willin’ tor do it. Of course we are. Stop up, gentlemen, an’ take yer medicine with our cadav’rous
friend.”
Tho cadaverous party was tho men who was previously shouting against the third term, hut he walked up to the bar and laid down his dollar with a painful assumption of hilarity and good humor, and all hands gulped down the third term with their whisky, while tho Bad Man smiled in tho most offensive manner and carved his initials on the rosewood bar with his knife in letters four inches long. The barkeeper mildly protested against tho vandalism, but the Bad Man informed him that ho should consider himself honored to have his bar graced with the autograph of so distinguished a man. “Yer don’t know when yer may seo me agin, and it will be a big attraction to yer house,” ho added, giving an extra flourish to a capita’ B that extended clear across the counter and nearly caught the barkeeper’s hand. As ho did so, a minor came down stairs from the faro game, and smiled when ho took in the situation. The miner walked up to the Bad Man from Bodio, caught his wrist with one hand and his ear with tho other and turned him around. Upon looking at tho minor Bowie Bill dropped the knife, drew in his under jaw, and became the picture of meekness at once. The minor led him to the door by tho ear and shoved him out, and one of tho militia ofliccrs, with rare presence of mind and reckless courage, aimed a frantic kick at his disappearing coat tails, missing tho mark by about a foot, and coming heavily to the floor on
his own hack.
Tho miner explained that ho knew tb stranger in Bodio as a chock guerrilla and broken down bar-keeper, who had acquired a reputation as a tighter by hanging around the entrance to a doctor’s office and licking the patients as they came out.

The hanging of three hoy murderers at Canton, Ohio, had some novel incidental points. Tho oldest was under 18. Tho crowd of the previous night was enormous, and was divided between a political meeting and a circus, both of which were within hearing of the prisoners. One of the trio made a desperate effort to escape in the confusion; another fell into a fit while imploring his companions to make a confession exculpating him; and the third coolly discussed with a Roman Catholic and Protestant Episcopal clergyman the merits on the religions which they represented, finally telling them that he had no faith in cither. A daughter of the Judge who had passed the death sentence gave each of them a
good-by kiss.
