Another Ferodoua Attack by the Bear—
A Dangerous Animal.
nflnir, in which the boar, of whose ex
istence our coU»niporariea of the daily
press in this city are oblivious* was ac
tively concerned, and came very near
adding another victim of his savage
ferocity to the one whoso death wo re
corded a dny or two since. The scene
of the affair was about six miles east of
the city, and about a mile and a half
frm the steam saw mill owned by Mr.
John Itumnoy. A party of men were
engaged in the woods on Thursday last
in constructing a shanty, when, it being
found that a certain stick of timber was
Hooded for use, a Gorman named Hei
dam took an axe and went into the
•wamp to cut it. He was in search of
•n appropriate pieco fer the purpose
intended, when he was startled by tho
sudden apparition of a large black bear
standing a few feet from him. and eye
ing him intently. A large dog which
accompanied him immediately attacked
the bear, seizing her by the haunches,
and'hawtjhrg on like grim dea'h. Hei
d'tKb, •oem* the bear occupied in defend
ing herself ngainst the do£ thought he
had a sure thing of it, and approached
to strike her with the axe. The bear,
on seeing this movement raised herself
tJ|»on her haunches, and, as Heidam
•truck at her head with the axe, caught
the blow with her fore paw, and sent
the axe flying through the air, entirely
out. of rc:ich.
The force of the Wow being entirely
miscalculated, the consequence was that
Heidam lost his balance, and the bear
caught him in his grasp, and held him
in a deadly hug that deprived him of
ererv power of motion. Thedogmean
timo worked manfully for his master,
and kept the bear's teeth in constant ac
tion in defending herself from hi* at
tacks, thus probably saving his master's
life. Fortunately, the party which
Heidam had just left was not far dis
tant, and his cries for help, together with
the loud growlings of the dog, attracted
their attentioi, and one of the party,
seizing a broa laxe, hastened in the di
rection of the noise. Coming in sight
of the bear, who still held Heidam in
a deadly grasp he made a rush at her
with his broad axe. The animal, not
liking the looks of this reinforcement,
let go of the man, and made off at full
speed, followed by tho dog, who soon
returned, badly wounded. Heidam,
upon being released, dropped upon the
ground, senseless, from the effects of
the hug, and was taken up by his com
panions, and carried to a place of safe
ty, where he was resuscitated. He has
not yet recovered from the effects of the
desperate strug^Pe, so as to be able to do
ai^
thing —Det. Free Press, Aug. 2d.

Whu the Convention of Paris wa« trans
mitted to Washington. Mr Mar v with tin ami
able candor, declared his in'en'ion of consider
ing it willi a view to the interest of the United
Hta'es in the contingency of a war with Rn?
land. The Americans have as much to lo*o
at sea as ourselves, but they hare a compara
tively insignificant na'y. It waB. therefore,
wUu'ral that they should wish to diminish cap
tures but th«y were likely to suffer a dissd
veatr.ee by allowing ships of war a monopoly of
plunder. The Seeretary of State was perfectly
j.itified in looking t* the interests of his coun
try, although he used an untenable argument
when he assumed that private en'erprise would
make up for the deficient strength of the na
tional marin*. It is well known that piivateera

w.'th Engl 'nd they znight I e a formidable
weapon in the hands of th" United States. Mr.
Marry utfcird to subscribe three out of the four
articles of the E ropean indention, but ihc
parties to the Tr -aty of Paris had agreed to
muki the concession of any part conditional on
the acceptance of th wh le.
As an alternative be a bold and com
prehensive proposal. The American Govern
ment undertook to renounce the use of letters
of m'irque on eondi'in that the property of
belligerent* at *ei fchoi-.ld b^ wholly exempt
from ca|tare and if the offer was made in
good faith, is to l«e regretted that Fntrlatid did
not at nce closu with the sopgestion. Lord
1'alnierstou intimated in lir Manchester speech
rn inclination to ac. uics»c in the prnj.rt, b't it
necessary to consult the powers which had
s'gned thctif a'v of Pars, and it wa* thought
desirable to examine the various results li: li
mi^ht aiise from such a re. vol: tion in Maritime
J.aw. Befo"e a decision co' Ul be foim^d the
Cabinet at Washington became alarmed nt the

I!
ossrbHity that its offer would be unaccepted,
Hcchanrn and General Ca.«s have intimated
their disinclination to follow up the discussion,
nor is there any reason to hope that s» desirable

time the laws of wur between England and
America a-e wholly unaffcctid by the Conven

For sale by

ent of the New York Times, writing
from Frankfjrt, Germany, says, men
mantua makers and millinery in Germa
ny arc as common as men tailors, and if
a man tailor, is the ninth part of a man,
we have wondered what part of a man
must be a man-milliner. One d«v,
where we were sitting, a man came in
with a dress basted ready to try on.—
Well, we confess we looked with all our
eyes, wondering what could be done.—
But there was no hesitation—the lady
took the robe to her room and put it on,
returning in full dress sans sleeves.—
Thn man examined it to see where it
needed altering, took it in on the shoul
ders, pinched up the biasses and laid
the plaits, evidently used to his busi
ness, and evidently, as tho lady said he
was, an exc« l!eut dress-maker, and al
so that dresses made by men kept their
places better and lasted longer than
dresses made by women. How would
it do to reverse the system and let wo
men measure men for coats apd—hem

MRS. CUNNINGHAM.—We SPATE
our
readers the details of the discovery of
the attempt on the part of Mrs. Cun
ningham to provide a falsa heir to the
Burdcll estate. The main facts are as
follows:
One Dr. Ulil, who had been her phy
sician, was informed by her that she in
tended to bring forwa-d a supposititious
child for the purpose, and ho disclosed
the fact to the Distrct Attorney. He
was told by that officer to affect a read
iness to engage in the plot, and a coun
ter-plot was laid. An infant was ob
tained from the Almshouse, marked,
and taken to a house in EIra street,
whither Mrs. Cunningham went in dis
guise at about 9 P. M. all the while
watched by tho Police, and
taking
JCSTNICFIOLAS L^KOWOTII,
the
child in a basket, returned to No. 31
Bond Street. There, during the night.
Dr. Uhl being present, but a Dr. Cutler
acting in the case, the bold, bad woman
pretended to bring the c'lild into the
world, and piesented Hast' a heir of Dr.
Burdell! Policemen were at hand im
mediately, the child was taken and re
turned to its real mother at the Alms
house and the guilty parties placed un
der arrest.— Mil. Sen.
for refus­
ing to let Dr. Cox, the public inspector
of liquors at Cincinnati, test his Cataw
ba wines, was arrested and holden in
9500 for his appearance to answer.—
Dr. Cox, says there is very little, if any
pure liquor in Cincinnati, and Mr.
LONG-
thinks he is an ass. On Satur­
day the case will be tried, whether
LONGWORTH'S
liquors must be submit
ted to Cox's analysis or not. Speaking
of Ohio be venire r, the Lebanon iSiar
records the death of four men from
drinking whisky with strychnine in it.
It aUso says that tens of thousands of
iish in the stream below the distillery
have died. Two tons of dead fish have
been taken out, a mill-race being chok
ed with them.—Mil. Xeics.
JSr A gcod-looking friend of onrt,
who is on this side of forty, though
somewhat hoary-headed, while absent
from the city a few days used Prof.
Wood's Hair Restorative, and on his
return called to see his lady-love, but
was surprised and amused to find she
did not recognize him, ani imme liate
ly determined to pass for a cousin ot
himself, bnt was eventually chagrined
to fnd -he was supplanting his former
self in the afiec.ions of the lady, which
caused him to make himself known
but the lady still savs that she likes the
counterfeit better than the original, and
insists that he continue (if necessary)
to use the Hair Restorative. To be had
at i 14 Market street.—[St. Louis Morn

Z^Thcre is no modicine wuhin our
knowledge that has acquired so great
aud wide spread popularity, in so short
a space of time, as Dr. Hall's Balsam
for the Lungs. Its balsamic and heal
ing properties are magical. It is high
ly expectorant and tonic. It contains
not a j*rain of opium or morphine, the
narcotic and astringent properties .of
which have created 60 much prejudice

CRIME.— We could fill our paper
"plumb full" every week with para
graphs of Crimes that are floating to us
in our exchanges, but we do not admire
that mode of making a paper interest
ing. There are many persons who read
that only which ia introduced with large
capitals announcing
MCRDER
"ARSON "SUICIDE"
Rape
etc, and if their
tastes were consulted wo would publish
all the minute details of every horror
that weekly whets up the morbid appe
tite for blood. We regard the present
mode of lionizing every criminal who
invents a new system of destroying char
acter or life, as having an extremely
bad effect upon public morals. We gen
erally refer to criminal records briefly,
but we beg the indulgence of our read
ers if we fail to fill our columns with
horrors. Something pleasant has a bet
ter efl'ect upon the mind of a reader,
nn 1 we want all our patrons to go to sleep
without the fear of seeing the mangled
corses or ghosts, about which they have
read in the eastern papers, flitting before
them. In addition to our unwillingness
to render sleep restive and uneasy, we
have not room to tell these stories. We
hope these reasons w ill be esteemed satis
factory by those who have asked us to
publish one or two six-column reports
from the N. Y. Journals on the never
ending Burdell murder trial and its re
cently reported disgusting finale.
Mrs. Cunningham is a bad woman.
She escaped the proof of legal compli
city in tho murderof Burdell, but in her
attempt to palm a borrowed child upon
the authorities as the issue of her own
body and the heir to Dr. B's. estate,
she has been caught, and now lies in
prison to answer a charge the proof of
which will throw upon her all the weight
of suspicion which at first attached to
her as a partictps criminis in the murder,
but which had been dissipated by the
sympathy of a lar^e class of persons,
because she was a woman.
Side Walks.*
Just after a good rain, and we Lave had a
number of them this summer, it is interesting
to observe a McGregor man picking his way
through Main street. He is not so foolish as
to at'empt dodging his muddy fate, he is
disposed to exercise all oesible ability in ^p ing
ing from stone to hip or bloik, and from log
to board. Except in a few laces there is no'h
ing on which the man foot can rest e.\ce,
mud. IIo .v lung shall this remain so We
wi»uld try to describe the embarrassment a lady
is subject to if she desires a walk after a pleas
ant shower, but it has beeu so Ion* since one of
the fair has dated the dang* rs of a voyage from
the I'ost Office to the Levee, that we can not
recollect how it was done. If some improve
ment is not t-hor'.ly made, the style of dress r. ill
necessarily be enlarged so that the dear creatures
ran float in upper air after the manner of a
parachute,—'his will call for a widening of the
streets at once, 'l'o save this troi ble and ex
pense, why not make one good side walk from
the Levee to the head of Main Street, or as far
up as the residence of (X C. Lee at least above
tha', the ound is harder and not being used
so much it does not require the work demand
ed by the lower street. The corpo at ion arc
abo'.t to commence grading tin Street, and
while they are at this work why cant we volun
tarily raise a fo nd for the construction of a
s bstantial side walk lhat will enable us to
move about without such muddy understand
ings.

The Circus.
It is not worth our while to tell ovr readers
what the last Circus was because they luve
seen it, and know for themselves. We think
it was fair and nothing more but the next one
Ah that is yet to come and a few words in re
lation to it may not be amiss.
Maj. Brown'* Cou.o SEUH is said to be the
best Circus in the LT.Statesand we have scarcely
a doubt of the statement. Our columns contain
a small account of their maneuvers bi to see a
full history of wliat they design doing at Mc
Gregor on Wednesday next, at Monona on the
day before, \ou should read the Lvr^e large bills
which their Agent Mr. Sutton has posted about
orr town. One of the bills is a 6how of itself
being the handsomest large exhibi'ion of typo
graphic art wc ever examined. This Circus is
un'versallv commended throughout Minnesota,
and we have private advices that it took St. Paul
by storm—creating almost as much excitement
as the two constitutional convections that
are now honoring that city with their sessions.
Brown we believe is a buckeye and there is no

Real Estate Sale.
O. McCraney, Ksq., Hosed a sale on
Wednesday last of the property known
as "McCraney's Addition" to M'Greg
or. The property (40 acres) waa pur
chased 18 months since for 0600. A
portion was laid off into lots, and during
this Rummor 91700 were realized and
several good buildings put up—the re
maining part of the 40 was the portion
just sold. Tho purchasers are B. F.
Forbes, of Garnavillo, H. D. Evans, and
C. F. Remick of McGregor, and Porter
and Gilchrist of Rockford, Ills. Tho
price paid is 94,230, making 95,930 for
the tract of Forty acres. The present
Proprietors are men of enterprise and
they will soon make the valley resound
with the music of the hammer and the
saw six or eight buildings will be put
up immediately by them. We under
stand that 15 lots changed hands on
Wednesday. Those wanting good titles
for property in the growing town of Mc
Grcgor, can now be accommodated.
MAC is still in the market with that
valuable tract lying up the Main Road
and known as
WEST
MISSOURI.—The
success of Maj.
McGaEooit. In
one year from this time lots in both these
additious will be worth more than twice
their present value.
JSTMR. FRASER the Principal of the
Academy is at work in the arduous
task of teaching the youth of the village.
Ho called on us a few days since, took
our subscription, stated his terms and
we paid him in advance as every body
should do. He has a good room, keeps
a good school and as he requires advance
payment, no parent should neglect to
see him and hand over the money.
IMPROVEMENT.—Our
MAT
abor.t dark on Monday, and we heard no more
of them until Wednesday evening when Car
penter .igain arrived at McGregor and reported
that the prisoners had attempted to escape bclo'
Buena Vis'a on the passage down, and that they
were BOTH DROWN E D1! ne was hand*
cuffed and the other's hands were tied clusely
together with a rope. A1 out 13 o'clock at nighf
they, almost at the same instiint, sprang Irora
the railing ol the S'cond deck into the River.—
The first one struck the guard below and never
came up !—the other struck the water some six
feet out, came up strangled, raised his hands
above his head in a struggling manner,
snd —nit
quietly beneath the water. The movcmnt of
the boat doubtless drew them to itself, and their
bodies nr st have pass* under the wheel! Tlie
yawl was lowered instantly but after a search of
half an ho:'r by moonl:ght as bright as day, no
siensof these unfortunate yun'» men could be
seen. The Boat was 200 yards from the shore
and hcn'.'C they must have perished!
MACIMRI
town exhibits a
weekly advance in improvement that is
very cheering. Jones & Bass' large
Brick store is steadily mounting towards
the sky under the masonic supcrintend
ance of P. McDonnel while Evana now
Block east of the Waverly is moving
towards completion in the hands of J.
Hubbell. Many new dwellings are be
ing built, enlarged and improved the
American Hotel will have a new base
ment entirely when Harding gets
through with his improvement. Paul
(not the Apostle) has turned his late
saloon into a convenient market
Hou se, the bluffs of main street are giv
ing way before the persevering effort
of those who handle the shovel and the
barrow things begin to look as
though we would find ourselves in a
City before we are aware of it.
MAP.—J. O. CROSBY Esq. of Garna
villo has presented this Office a very
handsome Map of Clayton County Iowa.
The map is sectional, handsomely co
lored and said to be very correct. Eve
ry man in the county should have one.
Mr. Crosby is the getter-up and the
work is creditable to him. We think
so much of this present that we have
pasted it on the wall in full view so as to
be ever reminded of the kindness of
the donor.
GRAIN MARKET.—Next to the raising
of a goo£«rop the farmer is interested
in securing a good price, and notwith
standing tho abundance we feel confi
dent prices will open well. The mar
ket has been^cleared of old wheat and
the demand for new is brisk. Sales were
made at Milwaukee and Chicago on the
11 th at 1,15 to 1,1G for new spring.—
The Canada reached Halifax on the 11 th,
her reports do not favor sellers. The
first sales will be tho best, in our opin
ion we learn that the McGregor mar
ket will open at about $1.00.
retains so far indicate the
ROLL
NS qver Stewart the regu­
lar Democratic nominee. Rollins was su port
ed as a K. N., a Benton man «id an old lino
Whig. He is called a Republican by Northern
presses iu the interest of that party, .t he has
no fyrni athies in common with the Republican
party—the latter of coi.i^e are strongly anxious
to s: a Democrat defeated no matter by whom.
Rollins is said to be an emancipationist. Ilis
speeches coutain this sentiment: "When it is
the interest of Missouri to abolish Slavery, I
ssy let it be abolished.'' Every sensible man
•ays that, no matter w here he may live. It is
tlie attribution of opposite opinions to southern
men that misleads the readers of pruniqsiMtt'
called anti-slavcjy journals.
