r.ainful duty, this week, to record one of the
most melancholy accidents that has ever oc

has robbed our town of one of the most dis

a happy family of a kiml and indulgent

lie was released from his frightful situation
as soon as possible and conveyed to his
regijepec and a physician called in. Every
thing that stßl and kindness could suggest
was done to prolong his valuable life. But
alas! it was of no avail. Death had marked
him fur his victim, and at quarter before ten
o'clock he expired. He retained his senses
up to the hist moment, and a few minutes
before living .-ailed his family around him
told them his hour had come, that he was
not afraid to die. blessed them and bade them
good bye, and calmly yielded up his spirit to

Attempted Suietdc. —On Sunday, the 10th
instant, a Mrs. Myers, residing in Jefferson
• 'otiiitv, Indiana, while her husband and sons
were laboring at a distance, sent her youngest
children out of the house, and taking an axe.
seated herself upon the tiuor and commenced
chopping her own head. In this fearful
upcriiiiuii .-he was discovered by the children.
Their cries alarmed some of the neighbors,
v, ho rushed to the spot, and found the un
fortunate woman weltering in her hlood, th*-
scalp ami outer table of the >kull literally
chopped to pieces. She had inflicted more
than tii'tv ghastly wounds upon her head,
rendering it a perfect mass of mutilated flesh,
IK. ncs, aud scalp, detached fragments of
which were scattered upon the floor ; and
vet strange as it inav seem, none of the
Mows had penetrated to the brain. Insanity
is assigned a the cause of this tragical event,
although no decided symptoms of alteration
were manifested by her previously. The un
fortunate victim now lies in a critical situ
ation. suffering intensely from her horrid
wounds, and evidently beyond the chance of
recovery.

Curious Kcclesiastical Trial,
The Pittsburg Journal has the following
statement respecting a very singular trial be
fore the elders of a Presbyterian Church in
Beaver county, which has just been conclu
ded :
Two farmers, members of the same church,
surrendered portions of their lands for the
construction of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
Railroad. Mr. A. gave the right of way for
nothing, and also grounds for a station
which was needed on his farm. B. received
five thousand dollars damages, and other con
siderations. A. went into the business of
selling town lots around the station, and is
gradually making money. B. having receiv
ed his damages " in a pile," after some time
got tired of his bargain and entered suit
igainst the Railroad Company for having de
frauded him, and succeeded in working him
self into a most hearty hatred of rails, lo
comotives and everything connected there
with ; and when he saw that A. was pleased
with the Railroad and was likely to make
money out of the improvement, included him
in his displeasure.
The suit against the Railroad has pot pro
gressed very rapidly, and in tlje meantime, I
Mr. B. thought there was a chance of punish
ing Mr. A. and bringing the Railroad into
disgrace, at a single stroke; so he accused
Us neighbor and fellow-member, before the
church, of grossly immoral conduct. A
trial was granted, and before the assembled
elders, Mr. 1?. solemnly accused Mr. A. of
owning stock in a railroad that practiced and
encouraged immorality : the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroad having, us he alleged,
broken the Sabbath by running cars, and
making repairs; and having injured the
cause of temp.•ranee by carrying barrels of
whiskey as freight!
it was admitted that the cars had run on
Sunday whop the Saturday night train un- !
avoidably fell behind time; that barrels of
whiskey might have hecq shipped on the
freight train, and lastly, tfiat Sir. A. was a
stockholder :—then we need scarcely add : the
elders most solemnly acquitted Mr. A. of the
charge against him.
But Mr. B. will not permit the purity of
the church to be sullied in this manner. He
intends to appeal to th Synod which will
assemble in this city next month, and after
that will, no doubt, carry the ease to the
tribunal of all—the General Assembly.

i joining my house. 1 endeavored to ascertain
the cause. With much difficulty I did so.
The stream of men ami women had come to
; Paddiugton to a prize-fight between two—mo,
: not men—women ! One of my family, being
incredulous, contrived to look across the
j fields, and there saw the combatants stripped
to the waist, and fighting. Men took them
there, men backed them, men were the bottle
holders and time keepers. They fought for
about half axi hour, some say .Is, some say for
a sovereign, and some say they will do it
again. 1 saw the winner led back in triumph
by men."

The store' stand is undoubtedly one of the
best in the country, being situate on the great

pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county, i
intersects the Centre and Kishacoquillas road

to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills, I
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un

Change in the Manner qf Voting.
An tut of the Legislature having changed ihe
mode ol voting in Miffliu cou|tly, ail officers here
after to be elected may be voted for on a single slip
i of paper aud deposited in one ballot box, a fact
which should he particularly noted by all entitled to
the right of suffrage, and hy the officers of the elec
tion.
i The 2d section of said act declares "that any
fraud committed by any person voting in the manner
: above prescribed, shall be punished by the existing
laws of tlie Commonwealth."
| Manner of Voting for Judges.
! Tne 4th Ejection of the Law of 1851, providing
; for the election of Judges, is as follows;
'•That the election tor Judges shall be held and
conducted iu the several election districts in the
: same manner in all respects as elections for repre
sentatives are or shall be held and conducted, and
by the same judges, inspectors, and other officers;
| and the provisions of the act of the genpral assein-
I bly, entitled "An Act relating to the elections of
tins Commonwealth,' approved the second day of
' July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine.
{ and its several supplements, and all ol'-er like laws
as far as the same shall be m loree and applicable,
shall lityjeemcd and taken to apply to the elections
for
shall vote forjudges of tjie Supreme Court on a
separate piece of paper, and for all other Judges re
quired to be learned in the law on another separate
piece of paper."
SfjTlt will thus be seen ihat the electors of Miff
lin county may vote for Congressman, Cartel-Com
missioner. and all the County Officers on a separate
piece of paper ; for ti;c Judge of the Supreme Court
on another separate piece c,f piper making distinct
tickets altogether, or the voter may cast Lis ballot
