AUHUIiCH RIOT.
Toledo, O, July 7th,—The
priest of the parish in which the
riot occured last niglu, Rev. Yin
c lit Sewandowiski, has foi the
past three years in some way made
himself obnoxious to a portion of
his flock, but. has heretofore re
fused to resign, asserting that, the
bishop would not fill his place
si ould he leave. Yesterday, bow
evtr, he gave notice from Tie pul
pit that he would leave /hem to
day. This seemed to infurate his
friends, and shortly after the close
of the services an angry crowd col
lected and went to the saloon of
Peter SzelaszLiewiez, who was
strongly suspected of beipg impli
cated in the attempt to blow up
the preist's house a week ago,
where a fight was soon staited-
Szelaszykiewicz was driven from
the house and several shots were
fired at him, but he escaped with
a wound in the hand- The mob
then attacked the house of Albeit
Dalkowslti, close by, and entering
the house drugged him ami his
wife out and shot him several
times and beat him terribly over
the head witn clubs, killing him .
His wife was also badly clubbed
and is likely to die. The mob
completely demolished the house.
During the riot many bhots were
fared, one stricking a bystander
named Martin Jlobioczaki, instafat
ly killing bin). Several persons
engaged in the fight were moreTr
less it iured. The scene of the
riot is over two miles from the
station house, but a force of police
tnen \yere on the grt uud as soon
as possible, and arrested twelve or
fifteen of the leading rioters and
jailed them. Not less than one
hundred men, women and cltil Iren
were engaged in the fight.
Toledo, July 7th.—Up to noou
to-day twenty two meu and five
women lmd been placed under ars
rest for complicity in the riot in
the Polis i settlement yesterday.
Several of these are slightly woun
ded, having cuts, bruises or brokei
fiugers. 7be parties directly im
plicated in yesterday's murders
are doubtless already in custody)
although not yet identified. Other
arrests will fellow until all sus
pected persons have been secured.

long entertained towards him and

nal element of his paristi, whose
acts have been severely denounced
by him. A portion of his people
supported and defended him most
zealously, and his determination
to relinquish his charge, the an
nouncement of which was made
yesterday, precipitated the con
flict b tween the factions.
FEEDING THE STEER.
A drunken countryman, who
frequently brings various articles
of proceeds in Lis pocket, gets on
a “howl,” and never leaves town
as long as it lasts—was in town
last week with a load of oats.
Knowing his weakness Marshall
Smart aitenoped to warn him, and
the following colloquy ensued.
‘ Yes'’ said the marshal, “and
yo are drunk again, the list time
you got drunk you never stopped
’till you stowed a whole beef steer
under your shirt, in vhisky, and
and you now intend to follow that
with your load of oats. You’d
better go home !”
“O! well,” hiccoughed the coun
try wan, “you know that steer'll

For several weeks pas burglars

in this faction. About three
weeks ago rn effort, Attach failed/

Spare Eeds.
Thais a curious subject you will
I all think, and I think so myself,
but I’ve got a little tale to ut fold
I about spare beds in general, and
I one spare bed in particular, and I
had just JJs well get at it.
Last fall Jasper (thai’t my hus
band) and I went over io Luke
Singleton’s to spend the day, aud,
as a big vain came up in the even
ing, we had to stay all night.
Iwas anxoius toget home, but
t/aeper said not trouble, for bis
mo/her was with the children, and
everything would be allright, so I
tried to enjoy myself and succeed
ed very well.
Sarah Singleton is one of the
best housekeepers that I know
; She does more work than 1 alf the
other women put together, add
she laid Imrsolf out for a good
sppper and got it.
VYuen bedtime came around s' e
)ti.a candle and let me out of her
room into tho spare room which
is ia the front part of the bouse
and comes nearer being a parlor
tLau any in the ueighbood, for i
bad a nice carpet on the flour, two
rocking chairs, a Lug bureau, aud
the big pillows had such pretty
shams on them, that I said;
“Sarah, 1 don't want to muss up
that pretty bod put iu one of the
back vojms.’’
“I shall not she said laughing
hs haul as hard as sue could, ‘‘this
j is my company room, and I intend
j for my company to use it —we dal *
Then she turned down the cov
I ers and gave the bed little pats
I here aud there.
Will you have the pillow- anti'
hoist, rs too she 8«id?”
’“Mercy no!” I said the bolsier
J js'enough, it would bl eak m y neck
jto lie on them big pillows, I ex
pect,” I, said, -Tlmf’s there’s fifty
pounds of feathers in Zhafbod amt
pillows. ”
“I know it,’’ said Sarah, “there’s
forty pounds of fea/lnrs in tlm:
bed alone. It’s that lnuvy T
can’/ nianiutgo i‘, Luke lias to car
ry it out when it is sunned. Dear
me !” she sai 1 she sitting down in
it chair, while I unlaced my shoes,
“the time I did nave picking thon
feathers. (Sometimes the p '
wouldpick mo black ana blue, and
/lie ducks were a sight of trouble.’
“Yont carpet holds out well 1
said" it looks as well as it did
when new.”
“That’s because I take cape ol
it.” she haul. “1 promised Luke
that I’d take care of it he’d buy it
aud 1 have. If I were to have the
doors aid windows open, it would
soon fade, and icsterrl, I go over
it oceaasioually with a damp cloth.”
“That’s a fine bureau,” I said
for I don't begiudge to brag on
my neighbors’ things, not a bit,
“and the drawers are so handy to
heck things in.’
“Yes,” said “'arab, hut we don't
keep our wearing clothes in here.
I hate so much passing in aud out
over the carpel. We keep our bed
linen and nicest quito here, and
that makes me think,” 6ays she
jumping up, “you’ll need need a
quilt a quill on your bed. I’ll get
out Mary Ann’s newest one. We
We quilted it last winter utid it has
never beta slept under It is the
worlds wonder it has got nearly
fifteen hunured pieces in it”
It was thepiefiiest thing I e»er
laid my eyes on, when Sarah
spread it over ihe bed, and I felt
that shamed of my Mattie that 1
didu’t kn<nv which way to look,
for Mattie and Mary Ann were of
one age—fourteen—aud Mattie
didn’t have a quilt to her came,
aim Mary Ann had pieced six or
eight nice ones.
When Sarah had bidden me
night and gone out 1 took
the caudle aud looked all around
ihe pretty room, The pi'low
shams took my time. There were
flowers, birds and butterflies, work
ed all over them, and I wondered
if lmt was the reason the girl was
so stoop shouldered and so un
healthy lookag, and then /
thought of my tom boyish Mattie
who couldn't sit still one minute
scarcely, and wished she was more
like Mary .Inn in her ways,
The fire place was hid by a p..s
per screen, and there was pictures
ou it, aud pictures on the walls,
JOHN T. WILSON, Ju , Publisher-
NO 19
bnt althongrh everything was so
pret/y, it all smelled damp and
mohidy.
Jasper came in and we went to
bed but / didn't rest as I thought
I would. / turned over and over
till finally Jasper Enid :
“What on earth ails you
Maude ?
“This bod needs sunning and
airing," 1 said.
“How do you know he he
quired.
“I know by /he smell. Can’t
you smell the feathers ?”
“It’s the damp weather he air
swered. “Everything bmells mus
mnsty in rainy weather.’’
“But it’s full of lumps,” I said,
sitting up and trying to work
them' with my fists.’ “Sarah said
she couldn’t manage ibis bed, and
I believe, for it lias not been suns
ed lately. Fresh feathers ouglit’nt
to knot up so.”
“Her beds should be like ours
—pretty flat,” said Jasper, and

But 1 staid awake along time
and sniffed the damp smell of the
fireplace, the strange odor of the
feathers, and the mustiness of
Mary Ann’s quilt, but fiually I
dozed off,
Jasper waked me in the morns

“I hope'it is not your old com
plaint coming on,” he said.
Mr old complaint was sciatca.
Well i t did come on. As I step
ped into the buggy on starting
borne, it s/ruck me iu-my dip like
a knife,
“Oh ! said that old pain again !’’
Of course I was laid tip s week
or more su fieri eg great pain, and
all the time Jasper went smiting

mullein tea. *
“It is strange, 0 he said to me
one day, ‘ .hit our trip to Single-..,

“It’s uVnir spare room and their
granp company bed i lint, did the
work and I'll hiut Sarah wi/li it
if I live,” said I.
But 1 didn't see Sarah in some
Hue. A month passed by, arid
one day she came to see me. I
knew something was wrong with
her, for she seemed out of shorts
all day, and in the evening when I
remarked that 1 hoped to bo well
enough lo go out on out next,
meeting day, she surprised me.
“I never want to hear Brother
Simpson preach again,” she said,
“He has hurt my feelings so bad I
can’t got over it ”
“W 1 at in the world #’’ I said iu
amazement. “I thought Brother
Simpson was all in all with you
acd Luke.”
“So he was,” she said just ready
to cry. “and Luke has paid him
more than any other one member,
but he has hurt my feelings, iu
my own house.”
“What has be done ?’’ I urged
aud sho told me.
“He went home with us on his
last appointment, and I fixed my
best bed for him he refused to oc
cupy it”
“Was ihat all?” I inquired.
“No, he gave his reasons, and
that’s why it hurt me, He said he
had lain in it once, ard had a spell
of sickness in consequence. He
said he believed sleeping in unused
beads caused the ‘preacher’s sore
ihroa that iu his travels he had
been put in the spare rooms, till
the colds, coughs and ticklings iu
his throat, interfered seriously
wiili his preaching; and now he
makes it a rule to sleep with the
children, or in a bed that was reg
ularly used, The idea of putting
the preacher with ihe children!
,-ind he went on and told me of
[ foul gases, and goodness knows
what elbe, that comes from unused
feathers. He even said that there
was microscopic fungus—little

“don’t get mad with me, for we
have always been friends, and I
believe vou are the cleanest house
keeper In the neighborhood, but
perhaps inereis more truth than
poetiy in what Brother Simpson
said,’’
She looked at me pretty hard,
but all she said was, “Maude I’m
surprised at you.”
“But may be it is unhealthy to
sleep on feathers that are not
aired often; we don’t know, for we
Lave never studied the matter.”
“Bosh !” Sarah said, “I know I
don’t sun vuy bed ab often as
ought, but there is no gas in it t o
kill people.”
“I’ll tell you how to find out
Sarah,' I said. “You and Luke
sleep in that room, end see it iir
has any effect on you., If if has,
make two beds out of tii..s oig one-
Lot your doors and windows stay
open, even if the sun does lade
the carpel; it makes the air so close
when a room is shut up.’’
‘,l will," she said. “We will
sleep in that dieatlful qed to-
night.” ■,
The next time 1 saw Sarah she
was in a good humor and laughed
over her experiment,
“The room was dreadful musty,
she said. “I had no idea feather
could smell so old and strange,
and I am sure I sat up in bed half
the night, and had a crick in my
