OOCIUWATOOCHAWAT, LOKJDAt Feb. IS.
A terrible calamity happened here, last night. A
theatrical company were playing the celebrated dra
ma, "The Dirty Xoed Sisters," to a crowded hooae.
Ourpublic hall it built on pilea. over a lake infested
with alligators. The crowd waa so great, that the
anthontiea would not a How any more peraoni to en
ter. This caused a disturbance among those who
were ontside, who had paid for tickets, and demand
ed admittance. They made a rush for the door, and
In the commotion, the foundations of the building
gave way, precipitating the house and its human
contents into the lake. The wildcat scene of terror
ensued men and women shrieking, and the alliga
tors splashing ana snapping, trying to get at their
victims. Ily the use of boats to reach the wreck.
and harpoons to keep the alligators off, moat of the
audience were saved. But two persons are known
to be lost. They were eaten by the alligators, r roni
papers found En the remnants of their clothing, tub
ed from the lake, it appears that they were tourists
from Kansas.

AxTcly AcciHEXT Last Monday, K. W". Strat
ton, of Doniphan, came to Troy, as usual, to meet
his pension customers. About noon, be went into
Marmot's saloon, looking for some one. (As this is
a common expression, with a well known meaning,
it may be as well to say that he did nt t go there for
a drink, but really to look for a person with whom
he had business. In looking over the place, he neg
lect-d to look where he was walking. A trap-door
in the floor was open, through which kegs are let
down aod lifted out of the cellar. He walked into
this, and waa precipitated into the cellar, hurting
himself severely. One of the bone of his right fore
arm waa broken, the elbow waa dislocated, a rib waa
cracked, and he received severe wounds in the head.
Dr Wood set the broken lones and dressed the
wounds, and Mr. Stratton waa taken to Doniphan,
the same evening This accident will interfere with
his trips to Troy, for a few weeks, and it may be
wome lime before he la again able to kick the top of
a lamp-post.

From The Time."
lAUorofthe Timet . I have been watching the cor
respondence m your paper, for the past few weeks,
with much interest. Having been In the practice of
medicine for many years, I have learned to have no
confidence in the many propnetary medicines which
are on the market, nnd It was through the excellent
recommendation git en by Dr. Bates, and the kuowl
edge I had of his veracity and ability as a physician,
that ever led me to lay ande my long existing preju
dice, to try the only wonderful remedy, named Ken
dall s Spavin Cure, which X find so many of your rea
ders have also found to be so valuable. Rheumatism
has aflicted me for years and with all the skill I
have professed to have in treating others, 1 found
myself unable to do anything to cure myself entirely.
After suffering for years, the difficulty became loca
ted In my hip, and nothing that I could do seemed
to affect it until I began to use Kendalls Spavin
Cure, which haa cured me completely. In all my
experience as a physician, I have never been able to
nuke any compound which penetrate so thoroughly,
and worka so admirably in rcrooung old standing
ailments, and at the same time hardly produce any
tmtation of the skin It has done such wooden with
me that I have the utmost confidence it its efficiency,
and can recommend ft, with the confidence that the
propmtora do not claim too much for it.

On Tuesday night of last week, February Htb,
1882. the barn of Amos Sanford.of Wolf ni-T..
ship, ia Doniphan County, Kan, waa robbed of a
span ot norsea and a spring wagon or hnggy, and
two sets of double harness, and buffalo robes; ami
after diligent search and Inquiry, said property haa
not been recovered. In view of said robberies, and
to protect themselvea from further depredations of
the above nature, or of any kind ot stealing, the
farmers and business men or Severance and of Wolf
Itiver Township met eis mats t, at Severance, on Mon
day eveaing, February SOth. 18!, and enrolled their
names, aod elected proper oEeers to carry out the
designs oftheir vigilance committee, so that, here
aner, the work of thieves In Severance and Wolf
Elver Township will nndaubtedly meet with their
just deserts. It is now known that, for a horse thief
or any other kind or thief to secure his prixe and get
away with it, he must hate the ability to escape
from over two hundred vigilant, active men, all f
whom are bound together as one man, to at once
take the trail, and follow the thief to his hiding
place, whenever it may be. The penalty the thief
will leara, when captured. The resolves of the above
vlgilants are, that if civil law fails te protect, or can
not reach the thieves, we unitedly hare the means
theabUity.andthe will, to protect ourselves aad
property. Let thieves beware !

The Lyceum at this place closed for the season, oa
Fnday evening, the 17th inst. It haa been well at
tended, and haa been a source of much amusement
and some instruction.
Quite a disgraceful sensation occurred at the
school house, en Monday morning. The teacher, oa
arming, waa somewhat surprised to Had. Instead of
her pupils, a large mcb of orated men, consisting of
fathers, sons, brothers, brothers-in-law, sons-in-law,
fathers-in-law, and last, hut not least, daughters;
their object being to prefer charge against the
teacher, Mias E. Johnston, which were numerous.
Among the most flagrant were aarnofiriand cruelty.
She, they claimed, had unmercifully whipped sever.
al small boya ; bat on Investigation by the Hoard,
found that the unmerciful whipping had been givea
with a hsiel switch about the site of a rye straw.
I lading they could not sustain the charges, they
consoled themselvea by hurling ephheta at the teach,
er, that were unbecoming to gentlemen. We nader-
stand that the Beard, after giving the matter da
consideration, thinking the charge were not sastala
ed sufficiently to warrant dismissal, ordered ther
school to continue. Oar private opinion, pablielr
expressed, is, that the greatest Incentive for thia dia-
graceful affair is Jealousy, aa they claimed she had
shown partiality to the Directors' children.
