An Illinois Divorce Case.
The Peoria, Illinois, Democrat of the 21st says: A lively business was done a few days ago in the Circuit Court at Knoxville, in the way of divorce and marriage. Some five or six years ago, Dr. Townsend, being a widower, married a widow Lott, by whom he had several children. Not long since, as the woman avers, his abuse became unbearable, and his drunkenness habitual, insomuch that she took the preliminary steps to obtain a divorce. The doctor, upon being made aware of the fact, and being furnished with a list of the witnesses who had been summoned to prove the averments of his wife, and finding, as it is rumored, that they would swear too hard for him to retain in possession his old Lott, inaugurated a coup de main which should extricate him from his dilemma, not by taking him out of it, but by putting him through it. He went into Court, acknowledged enough to secure the divorce, and went his way. The trial was set for the next day. After fixing up the divorce and seeing the decree granted, the doctor went on a courting tour. Prior acquaintance made the business more facile, and before the next morning, the
Doctor, twice a widower, was the affianced of a Miss Wise, a blooming maiden of some 17 summers and the same number of winters. The morning of the trial both the complainant and the defendant were on hand the former with her dozen witnesses, and the latter with his courted fiance. The lady was somewhat astonished when the Judge informed her that her witnesses were unnecessary, that the matter had beeu arranged, 'as be hoped, to her satisfaction, and ended by handing her a copy of the deeree. Just at this moment of time, the Doctor appeared and invited her to a private interview. With some curiosity she followed her late lord and master into the office of a neighboring Justice. She was politely invited to a seat, when the Doctor clasping the hand of 'sweet seventeen.' desirsd the aforesaid Justice to proceed. The Justice did proceed—to marry them, Dr. Townsend to Miss Wise. The ceremony ended, the Doctor imprinted a sounding salute on the velvet cheek of the 'seventeen,' bowed blandly to the old Lott, and rode home as cheerful as if there were no diyorce suits in Knox county."
THE Rev. Charles Waddle, the first white child born in Ohio, died a short time ago. He was, 40 years ago, one of the most prominent Methodist preachers in the West. Such was the estimation in which his abilities and eloquence were held that at an early age he was appointed a Presiding Elder, and it seemed probable then that in time he would become a Bishop. But at the very height of popularity he gave way to temptation and slink,"never to rise again. The last 50 years of his lifts were shrouded in the profound est obscurity.

LARAMIE CITY, W. T., July 7.—The Laramie Sentinel, of the 7th, says After dark, last night, a man who came into Sherman Station, from North Park, reported that there had been a general massacre of white miners there by the Utes. The report, as it comes to us, is that a party of Cheyennes came in there, and the Utes went to the miners to get them to help them to fight the Cheyennes, which they refused to do. A fight then occurred between the Utes and Cheyennes, which lasted some five hours, when the latter fled, when the Utes went at the miners and killed all they could find of them. Our informant states that he buried three who were killed at John Gilman's cabin, or near there. One was named Shipman, who was sick and in care of Mr. Vandycke, from whom we published a letter afew days ago. We did not learn the names of the others. They were all very much mangled and their heads chopped to pieces. Up to the present writing Vand.ycke has not been heard from, though his coat and hat were found at his cabin. In the present state of excitement it is difficult to get at the facts, but we regard it as certain that the Utes have broken out upon us, and several have been killed over at the Park.
Later reports say that the North Park massaere is undoubtedly true.

OMAHA, July 7.—A letter to the Omaha Herald, trom the Pawnee Reserve, states that, on the 22d, Captain Egan with a small detachment of troops encountered a war party of Sioux, who had just made a successful raid on the Pawnees, lunning off 11 horses, which he in turn captured from them, together with all the stock, robes, etc., taken from the Pawnees. On the return ftf the troops, the Pawnees gave chase to the Sioux, who halted and gave them battle. The Pawnees were forced to retire with a loss of 1 killed and 4 wounded.

CHEYENNE, July 7.—The party of 20 prospectors who left here for the snake River Mines three weeks ago, returned to-day. They witnessed a fight between the Utes and Cheyennes. in the North Park and probably owe their lives to the fact of the Indians fighting among themselves.
July 4th they found the body of Mr. Shipman at Independence Mountain in front of his cabin. He was shot twice, scalped, two axes driven in his head, and his body mutilated in a manner too horrible and disgusting to be mentioned in print.

The Vanderbllt, Fink A Gould Competition. NEW YORK, July 7.—Among the ar
rangements which have been xepudiated since the Vanderbllt party acquired a controlling interest in the affairs of the Lake Shore Road, is said to be one by which the Erie line was to be allowed to run into the Union Depot at Cleveland, on the condition that Gould & Fisk abandoned the project of building a through line to Chicago. Having been notified ofthe nullification of this agreement by Vanderbilt, Gould & Fisk have, it is said, entered into arrangements for the immediate commencement of a continuation of the Erie and Atlantic and Great Western lines to Chicago from Cleveland.
The new Erie extension will wind along the lake shore to Sandusky and Toledo, from which latter point it will strike out for Chicago by an air line. It is asserted the project meets with great favor throughout the West, and the leading capitalists of Cleveland and Chicago, and other prominent men interested in this section to be benefited by the opening of the new line, agreed to subscribe all the capital required, providing the line be commenccd immediately. oiivciSivArrl.

A Force Feed brill, Operated by Spur Gearing.
NO LOOSE COG WHEELS ABOUT IT!
Impossible to Choke" it—The Feed Changed in One Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grain or Seed. Whether Clean or Foul!
The grain is distributed by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under the hopper these wheels carry the grain upwards to a discharge opening in the cup and force it out, and with it force out straws and other ohitructions. It is utterly impossible to choke it and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is half chaff, and by turning the wheel it is carried through as well
as
clean heat.
