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.

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 (hie) want some oa s anyhow, you betcli er-iife (hie) no ii go; ein.’ And he did. —Bainbridge, Deino ci at.

Sorry to hear it ; soriy to hour it.” ‘‘Yes, she’s gone.’’ . The Governor who is a very soft hearted uuwrAww so fouened oy the man’s evident, evident atllie tion that he hadn’t tho heart to «sk him for. the money and s nt. him away, A few days ago he met a friend who krmHvts atlleted client, and remarked 1 To him that 'lie man seemed ,to lake his wife's death very lmsd, indeed "TakehShard lauged Hie oili er “why’fhe -has been dead for the last -ulve years and he mar riep agajji the ,o£ner day.’’—Bos ton Reccjrd, A DANGEROUS TRAMP. For several weeks pas burglars —safe rubers— have been abroad in this faction. About three weeks ago rn effort, Attach failed/ was made to enter Mr. L. F.

A day or two after wards a amiilur attempt was made upon the safes belonging to the Ordinary and Clerk in Echols county at Statenville, but tfae burglar bulled to make an entrance Soon after this last occurrence, a seedy locking chap, disguised us a tiara* turned up in \aldosla anil took lodgings at ltenfroe’4 European Voiiso.

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 that was the las/ of him for Lo went off to sleep. 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 mg sneezing. “Kerchew, kerchew be said bum, bum, bum i The rain is over Maude, but lye got a bud cold.' 1 Kerchew ! kerchew !” “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 eeuffiung lH'owud, diaaking mullein tea. * “It is strange, 0 he said to me one day, ‘ .hit our trip to Single-.., ion’s 1 laid 11.-, boffi*up.’’ “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 Growing things—under my carpel and on the lire screen, just because 1 keep that room shut up ready for company' I never was so ins suited in my life; but he was tbe preacher, aud I had lo beat it.
