Of these 11,700 contained money, checks, receipts, drafts or other documents of valuo. New Developments In tho Wharton Case. The latost development in tho Wharton poisoning case is that Mrs. Wharton at tempted to poison Mrs. William T. Alcock, who residos at No. 207 North Eutaw streot, Baltimore. Mrs. Wharton and tho Alcock s wore to go over to Kurope together in the same steamer. Mr. Alcock was obligod to hasten his departure, and the poison was administered to Mrs. Alcock in a bowl of soup sent to her by Mrs. Wharton, tho morning of her departure for Europe. Mrs. Alcock partook but very sparingly of the soup, having been previously warned of the danger, but experienced strango and disa greeable sensations until bIio reached Eng land. The motive in this caso has not yet transpired. ....... A Xew Phase of the Sunday Question. Justice Lcdwith, of Jefferson Market Police Court of Now York, has before him for decision the new and rather embar rassing question, whether a Jew who keeps tho Jewish Sabbath can bo compelled to bo idle on Sunday also, because a Christian congregation engaged in worship on that day are disturbed by his working. Tho preciso fact of tho caso are, that tho win dows of the Alanson Methodist church in Norfolk street open upon a building whore a number of Jews are engaged in operating sewing machines. The machines are silent on Saturday, but on Sunday they make such a clatter that the Methodists are great ly annoyed by it. The employer of the operatives refuses to suspend work during tho continuance of the Methodist services unless he is compensated for his loss of time. This compensation the Methodists rofuse to make, and havo applied to tho Police Court for assistance. Political Paupsrs. ; There are a great number of inmates in tho Political pauper houses, maintained by either party. It would appear as though tho desire to be supported from the public treasury is spreading like a pestilence. Greedy applicants for place abound. , They crawl around the nominating conventions and into all the departments of the govern ment as thick as the frogs of old Egypt. Some men, too lazy to work or too incom petent to manage a privato business, find solace in patriotism, and ask party patron agoto Booure for them the comforts of life ; while others, demand favors of the party in power because they happen to edit a papor which they delight to call a "party organ," though they would as readily bo " the or gan" of any other party, did it promise a greater pecuniary reward. Could the hon est voters of tho nation really know how much of the money wrung from them by taxes of various kinds, goes to the support of men whoso services aro almost nominal, or who are entirely unfitted for tho posi tions they occupy, they would moro care fully scrutinize tho moral worth of tho candidates, who ask their support, and see that only worthy men received their votes. Among the many office-seekers are some woll fitted for the position they ask, and whose characters are above reproach. Let only such be elected to offices of honor or profit and an improvement would also soon be made in the clans of men who obtain office by appointmont. Remarkable Robbery. The house of Luther P. Gay, near Me dina, Ohio, was robbed in a bold manner lately. ' Gay was in tho gardon about noon, his family being absent at a plo nie, whon two strangers approached. One of them weaving a policeman's star, pointed a pistol at Gay's head, while the other said, "I arrebtyou in the nunieof the United States as a counterfeiter," at tho same time manacling Gay's hands. The robbers thon took Gay into the house blindfolded, tied him to a bed, aud demanded the keys of his oafo. Being unable to find these they blow open the safe with powder, and aud robbed it of $3000 in United States bonds aud several thousand dollars lu bills. The robbers then escaped. FEARFUL HAIL STORK. , . Tho sovcrest hall storm that evor visited the Valley passed over tho northern por tion of Rockingham county, Va., on Friday evening last. The hail was accompa nied with strong winds and a groat quan tity of rain. It ocoupiod a very narrow strip of country, not moro than throe miles in its greatest breadth, and its courso ex tended from West to East commencing at the North Mountain, and not losing Its force until it had reached tho peaks on Massanittcn Mountain, a distance of about fourteen miles, a great portion of it passing over one of tho richest agricultural districts of tho county, that known as the Linnvillo Crock district. In somo places tho hail was piled up to the depth of twenty inches, and tho next day quantities wcro gathered by the pooplo and used in their houses. Tho section over which it passed is completely ruined, so fur as this year's crops aro concerned. Large corn Holds that gave promise of a heavy yiold are entirely stripped, nothing but tho naked stocks loft standing. Tho district is complotoly barron. Forest trees have had the leaves stripped from them, and in many places prosont the Bamo ap pearance as in wintor. : The damago to the fruit is also very great. Very large peach and apple or chards that were filled with almost ma tured fruit have the trees stripped not only of tho fruit but of the leavos and small twigs. Henry Shoubo, near Broadway station, one of the largest fruit growers in tho valley, loses his entire stock of peaches. As tho storm approached Lacy Springs it seemed to increase in violence. The in habitants of many housos bocame so fright ened that thoy hid in their collars to avoid witnessing the terrible scone. A barn on the Harrison farm, in which several persons had taken sholtor, was struck by lightning and set on lire. Tho persons in tho barn wero stunned by tho lightning, but somo of thorn retained consciousness sufllcicnt to see the danger thoy wore in and soon stopped the flames. A groat many small domestic annimals wore killed by the hail, such as pigs, Bhecp, chickens, &c. A gentlemen states that out of one brush heap thoro wore taken about a hundred doad birds that had taken shel ter therein. The loss by tho storm is variously esti mated at from $250,000 to $300,000. JJicft mond Enquirer. ' A Man and Wife Killed. The Wilmington Commercial says : One of the saddest of tho many cases of death by lightning, we have noticed this summer, occurred at Bay View, Cecil county, Md. Tho . victims wero Clomont Roydo and Martha his wife, and they rosidod in a two story dwelling houso about two miles east of Bayviow. During a storm last Saturday evening, about six o'clock, the chimney of the house was struck by lightning. Tho fluid darted along tho room some two foet and thence it seemed to loap to the second story win dow. It smashed the window to atoms and made anothor loap to the first story window of tho room in which Mr. and Mrs. Roydo and three children were at supper. A neighbor who saw tho lightning strike the house, ran as rapidly as possiblo to tho place.nnd going in the yard mot Mr.'.Itoyde'g oldest son, a boy of ton years, who had scon tho houso struck, was also running home. As they entered a scone of. horror mot their eyes. On the floor near the wiudow lay the doad father and mother, a torrifiod girl of eight holding the head of the latter in her lap, and unconscious that she was dead, trying to assist her to rise. A little two year old child, entirely unconscious of tho calamity which had fallen upon them, was still eating supper. The man mado no sound, but tho child says her mother gave ono shriek and breathed a tew minutes after she fell. An examination of the two' bodies showed no marks except the hair on one sido of Mrs. Royde's hoad was slightly burned. After a few hours the bodies began to show rapid decomposition, and it was necessary to inter them Sunday afternoon. tW A young lady writes from Leaven worth to the Chiof of Police in Kansas City as follows : "Thore is a man in your place named Johny Bascombe, who is in love with mo, and was driven away from our house last week by my old father, who drivos away every ono who comes to court mo. Please, for my sako, fiud out Johnny and givo him my picture, which I encloso to you, and tell him I will stick to hiin, father or no father, and if you ever come up here I will come to see you and thank you. Just toll Johnny that his Julia sent him the picture, and ho will know it nil." Tho police ofllcial is puzzled to know what to do about the matter. . tW" At Oak Lake, Minn., a station on the Noithorn Paiflo railroad, some scoundrels saturated a largo black dog with turpentine and keroscuo and then sot fire to tho ani mal. ' Tho cries of the poor brute were hor rible, and ho rushed through the streets and touts uttering piercing howls until he was burned to death. During his mad career bo passed through a tent in, which were stored some forty barrels of gun. powdor, and it is almost a pity they escaped ignition. Divorce on a Death Bed. An Indiana paper gives an account of tho divorce of Eli Davis, of Lowisville un der the following circumstances. Tho di vorce took place on the 19th ult. He had been for two years laboring under the effect of paralysis. For one year he had been unablo to walk except by tho aid of others, and for moro than six months had been to all appearances dovoid of reason or any knowledge or persons of things. On July 18, about 6 o'clock p. m., nnd 15 minutes boforo his final exit, and whon he was to all intents and purposes, except tho mere fact of breathing, as dead as poor old Mar ley, he was divorced by Judge West's court from his second wifo. Tho suit of divorce was brought by his guardian at tho instance of two sons by a formor wife Harvey Davis, hoot and shoo dealer, of Indianapolis, and Clayton Davis, of tho samo place. Tho deceased know nothing moro of tho existence of the suit than tho man in tho moon. Tho real cause of it was tho fact that the deceased was tho owner of property worth not loss than $100,000, in which this second wifo, if undi vorced, would have been entitled to a ono third iutorost, during life. Slio is a young, healthy woman, with apparently thirty or forty years of lifo before her. It is but fair to presume that, at 10 er cent, interest, her third would be worth $50, 000 or $00,000 and over in twonty years. And from what wo can learn, hor chance to live twice that long is as good as the chances of tho average of womankind for 10 yoars. But by somo hocus-pocus she was persuaded or prevented from appearing against the complainant, and to accept a compromise of $8,000 alimony. The com promise was indorsed, and the divorce granted by Judge William B. West, when the complainant, who never knew that ho aomplaincd at all, was dying. Comment is unnecessary. Tho Dog Days. The dog-day season began on tho 17th day of July, and will continue until the 28th day of August. In the minds of the super stitious the dog-days are held responsible for much of which thoy are wholly innocent, but tho following is what Astronomical science has to say about them : Canicular was an old namo of Cants Minor, or the Lesser Dog a constellation of the southern hemisphere, just below Gemini ; it was also used to denote Sirius or the Dog-Star, the largost and brightest of all tho stars, and which is situated in the mouth of Canis Major, the Greater Dog, a constollation of tho southorn hemisphere, below the feet of Orion, containing Sirius. From the Heliacal Rising a star is said to rise heliacally when it rises just before the sun of the star (Sirius) the ancients reckoned tho dog days, which wero 40 in number 20 before, and 20 after tho rising of the star. The rising of the dog star was in ignorance sup posed to be tho occasion of the extreme heat and tho diseases incident to those days. It was by mere accident that the rising of the star coincided with the hottest season of tho year, in the times and coun tries of tho old astronomers. Tho timo of its rising depends on the latitudo of the place, and is Liter and later every year in all latitudes owing to progression. In time, the ttar will rite in the dead of winter. It would therefor appear that Sirius, or tho dog-star, or dog-days, are not necessarily connected with hot weather, and that tho timo will corao when tho dog days will be "hi the doad of winter',' u A Nice Judge. Tho conduct of a citizen of Wilkesbarre, one of the associate judges of the court for Luzerno county, is inconsistent with his position, and tho least he can do is to im mediately resign. .'. Ho was lately inveigled into a gambling-den by some sharp Now Yorkers who visited Wilkesbarre, seeking whom they might devour, aud the judge after spending a good portion of the day there seeking a fortune at a faro bank, loft, minus about $4,200 in money nnd con siderable more in roputation. It appears, howover, that ho had given chocks for the money, and he shrewdly' stopped payment on theso, and the noxt day caused the ar rest of tho proprietor of the den and one of the principal gamblors. In tho evidence of the judgo it came out that he was in duced to lieliove there was a wealthy Cali- fornian in tho don, and that it would bo easy to "go through him," in other words, get his money, if he, the judgo, would joiu with the New Yorkor. Now, wo sub mit that a man who can be influenced by such motives is unworthy to hold any office, however small, whore honesty and integrity are required, and much less, a seat on a judicial bench. Tho act was little less than a conspiracy to perpetrate highway rob bery. Time, tho judgo was tho ono to be fleeced, as ho might have known ; but this is no exoneration for him for bis intont was to fleece anothor or his want of prin ciples rather, by entering into tho schomo, thus bringing upon himself an unonviablo notoriety.

A riot commenced in Paris, Kentucky, between whites and negroes, which was quieted by the Government troops. Mr. Dillon, the City Marshall, was badly injured by the mob. ... . Two negroes are reported to have been killed during a mcleo at tho polls at West Hickman. There has also been troublo during the election at Nicholasvillo. At Frankfort thoro is considerable excitement in tho streets. Tho Valloy Rifles have just received orders to turn out for tho preser vation of peace. A band of about two hundred and fifty men, armed and woaring masks, wont to tho jail, and knocked violently at tho entrance. On tho jailor appearing they demanded tho keys. Alarmed at tho savago aspect of his visitors, he complied, and, on obtain ing the keys, thoy immediately proceeded to the cell of a negro lying in prison under the chargo of rape committed on Mrs. Pfoiflbr. - They seized him, and then went to an other coll ocupied by a negro, who is said to have fired the first shot at the election riots the day before. Both prisoners were greatly terrified. Tho band then quitted tho jail, taking both negroes with them. They hung them both at a spot only a few yards from tho jail. Whon tho affair became known tho greatest excitement prevailed. 1ST Tho inhabitants of Plaiufleld, N. J., aro greatly excited over the conduct of a man whoso daughter's lover was taken ill while on a visit to tho young lady. Tho young lady's father, as soon as it became ap parent that tho young man had tho small pox, forced him to lcavo tho houso, al though scarcely able to walk, and tako up his quarters in an outhouso. Here tho invalid remained for several days, neglected by tho family, and only visited once a day by a young man who re sides in the neighborhood. Finally, during a heavy rain, the patients bed was drench ed with water. He was aftorwards remov ed to a house at Short Hills, where he now lies. .

I replied that I did in my own mind and was confident that Carlisle would do her duty and fill the bench. But with groat trepida tion (and this I say to his credit for he was very humblo) said he .
