Sherman is not a Catholic, but whoa he courted Miss Ewing he was required, beforo Father Ryder could marry them, to promise as an olllccr and a gentleman that he would never interfere with his wife iu the practice of her religion, nnd that hor children should bo brought up Catholics. If the above is true, it shows that Ocn. Sherman has not gob as much spunk as we gave him credit for, or he would have got somo other mnn to perform tho marriage ceremony, before making so foolish a prom ise. Maine last year elected some women as Justices of the Peace, and the legality of tho uction is now a question. The Su preme Court, it is said, Bra about to give an opinion ndverso to the eligibility of women to the offices of Justice of the Peace, on the ground that the constitution con templates that nil offices named therein can be held by mon only. If the acts of women hitherto appointed as justices are void, some interesting questions may arise, especially if the court goes to the extent of holding them incapable, by reason of their sex, of solemnizing marriages.

II., October 20. This morn ing the Baughegan National Bank wasrob bod'of about $70,000, 4, 000 being in bills and the rest in private property. The caUiier of the bank, II. T. Sawyer, was awakened about I o'clock at his bouse by a man, who shouted "you are wanted," and he immediately placed a gag in his mouth, handcuffed him,and then tied him to the bed post. Mrs. Sawyer was also handcuffed, and with her babe was fastened into a small closet. The robbers, meanwhile, bound the other children and thrust them Into the closet, and handcuffed and shut up the' servant girl. Tli is done they presented a pistol at Mr. Sawyer's bead, demanding' the key of the bank. ' He told them they were not there, and Mr. Sawyer having refused to tell where the keys were the robbers nearly strangled htm with the gag and a twist of rope arouud the neck. Finally Mr. Sawyer told them that the keys were in the post office lock box. Tho men then placed a rope around Mr, Sawyer's neck and took him to the post of fice. A hole was cut in the glass, the sash raised and the keys secured. Mr. Sawyer was forced to go and open the batik, and all the funds, notes and collaterals were taken out. ' Mr. Sawyer was thon taken back and tied to tho bed-post and left. About 8 o'clock bis little son Fred, got loose and cut the ropes, letting his father free, and an alarm was given. The bank loses 125,000. Twenty dollars were taken from the cashier's pocket. The Bervant girl and Mrs. Sawyer received injuries about the face and neck.

A Belligerent Elder. B. Chadwick and Rov. Talbert reside in Tipton township. They are close neigh bors. As the Scotch say, their land " marches" on each other. Chadwick is a lusty young granger. The granger's hogs foraged through the preacher's field j they were eating and destroying corn. Temper is hard to oontrol under aggra vation. Chadwick's bogs grow fat, and Chadwick smiled approvingly on their ef forts at self-subsistonce. One auspicious Sunda the preacher's forbearance gave out. He " gobbled" a ravaging hog ; and made it prisoner in a pen. , Chadwick come over to " chin" the eldor on his cap ture. That able divine was irate. Chad wick accused him of something improper. The eldor denied, and countercharged. Ye poworful granger pronouncd the divine "a liar," with a profane prefix. This was too much. Smitten on one cheek, the preacher had not tho nerve to turn the other, but ho gave his tormentor a left hander in tho face that rattled his kitchen furniture ; then with the right he lifted a stick of stove wood and battered the son of Belial ever the supposed reposi tory of his brain. Chadwick bad the eldor arrested. He appeared before Squire McDonald. The eldor Chadwick appeared as counsel for his son, and Lowdcn for the preacher. There was "lots and gobs" of fun. Rev. Eli Mossman was principal witness for the de fendant, and thoro was a rattling contro versy between him and the elder Chad wick. Five dollars was the amount of the tine imposed ou the divine. A Nice Detective. During a recent trial at Mobile, Ala., of prisoners arrested by tbo U. S. Marshall, a detective, chief prosecutor and witness for Government, was instantly recognized by Admiral Raphael Semmes, who was pres ent at the trial, as one of bis crew of the rebel steamer Sumter. ' Heeler came for ward and at once' confirmed the Admiral's recognition by offering his hand. Heeler was appointed master's mate by the Admi ral, and at Gibraltar, while a midshipman, he was temporarily in charge of the steamer. This man Heeler committed what the Admiral characterized a most foul and bru tal murder. He shot and killed a mess mate who lay in his bunk, it is supposed asleop. Iloolor escaped. In tho trial the fact was developed that the subpoenas for the witnesses were issued by Commissioner Gillette, of Mobile, September 30th, more than two weeks before the alleged offence was committed. A Dry Time. : An honest old Kentucky farmer from the country gave his recollections of the late hot spell as follows : " It was so dry we couldn't spare water to put in our whiskey. The grass was so dry that every time the wind blew it flow around like so much ashdB. There wasn't a tear shed at a fu neral for a month. The sun dried up all the cattle, and burned off the hair till they looked like Mexican dogs,and the sheep all like poodle puppies, thoy shrank tip so. We had to soak all our bogs to make 'em hold swill, and if any cattle were killed in the morning they'd be dried beef at dark. The woods dried up so that the farmers chopped seasoned timber all through Au gust, and there ain't a match through all the country in fact, no wedding since the widow Glenn married old Baker, three months ago. What few grasshoppers are left are all skin and legs, and I didn't hear a teakettle sing for six weeks." Murder Will Oat. During the time the burglais were en gaged in robbing the bank at Wellsboro, Pa., their boots, which had been removed to facilitate their movement, were saturated by the rain and it seems could not be pull ed on with the e ase necessary to meet the demand of the occasion. To render the matter easier, the logs were cut off and left behind. They were afterwards found and the name of George Fralio was found upon one of them. This served as a clue and that worthy was arrested and has since been identified as one of the gang. Fire Int'he West. - Accounts from Fort Wayne, say : "A fire which has been burning for five miles west and southeast of this city now assumes a serious aspect. It Is estimated that nearly ten thousand aores of prairie and timber lands are burning on the line of the Toledo, Wabash and Western railway, which caus es a dense smoke to settle over the oity and surrounding county, making it nearly as dark as night in the middle of day, and rendering breathing difficult. It is feared the fire may reach the city if rain does not come. . i. A Sew Urte for a Wife. " A letter from Fort Smith, Ark., says the United States marshal went to arrest the desperado Redmouth. The party came upon the ruffian in a deep ravine. The latter opened Are, which the posse return ed. The next morning a woman, one of Redmouth's wives, was found completely riddled with bullets fired by the posse, the scoundrel having hold her in front of him as a breastwork. The woman died and Redmouth escaped. X3T " Gracious mel" exclaimed a lady in a Uoston witness-box, "how should I know anything about anything I don't know Anything about ?" A Remarkable Accident. ' The Passaio Rolling Mill in Paterson was nearly destroyed lost week by the bursting of the fly wheel, a mass of metal twenty- four foot in diameter, weighing twenty- seven tonB. The bourn that was going through the rollers hnd dragged, and it got across the " collar," throwing a strain of 240 horse power on the spindle that con nects the roller with the engine, breaking it and freeing the fly wheel, which In creased its velocity from 03 to 800 revolu tions a minute, bursting it at once. One of the segments woighing three' tons went through tho roof and smashed a large iron crane in its descent. 1 Another piece about the same size went through the roof and fell into tho mill about 800 foet away, making two largo breaks in tho roof. Another piece foil on a cart in the yard, de molishing it without Injuring the horse or tho driver. Over one hundred men were at work in tho mill, and their escape without injury was miraculous. The change in the time of holding elections in this State will exercise vast good, at least in one direction that of pre venting tho colonization of voters upon the border counties of : New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It has been the cus tom with both politioal parties to Import and colonize votors from ono State to the other, for the purpose of swelling the vote and increasing majorities in oountios where the wires could bo successfully ma nipulated to that end. The separate days upon which elections were formerly hold afforded them an opportunity of doing this, without fear of dotection, and gangs of these nomadio suffragists were regularly crossed over tho lines in the interest of wire-pullers of one party or tho other. The elections this yoar, occurring on the same day in each of these States, will confine the operations of repeaters to their own or at least one locality, and tho chances for open fraud will be materially lessened. Majorities in bordor counties will show to what extent tho vote of Democrats and Republicans alike has been fraudulently swollen in the past. Miscellaneous News Items. A Greencnstlo, Ind., jeweler named U. A. Day, who every night deposits his watches and most valuable jowelry in the safe of one of the banks in that city, was taking his watches to the bank, which is just a square from his store, a few nights since.

The de fendant playfully took up a gun, entertain ing the common idea that no gun can pos sibly be loaded, and playfully pointed it at his friend. As it always happens in such cases, the gun was loaded, and he shot and almost killed his friend, only iu fun of course. The jury showed their apprecia tion of Buch genial humor by giving a ver dict for tfOOOO damages. A few more such verdicts will have the effect of lessening the frequeucy of Bimilar accidents. t3T" A New York man recently met with a whole "chapter of accidents" within the short space of five minutes. He was pass ing along in front of a large business house from the third story of which a clerk was throwing down small packages of goods.

Quinine was regarded as the only specltto lor malarious diseases, and Immense quantities of the drug were annually consumed throughout our western country, more particular ly along the river bottoms and adjoining low lands. With the fall months malaria, In all Its varied forms, stalks Ilka au epidemic through the land, and whole districts are prostrated with chills and (ever, the entire population shaking with ague. Heretofore, quinine was regularly resorted to; but, while it frequently failed to effect a cure, it invariably deranged the stomach, producing nausea, vertigo aud fugitive pains in the head to such an extent that mouths elapsed ere thesys' tern recovered from Its effects. These objections to Its use were so marked, that the introduction of Mlshler's Herb Bitters was hailed asa triumph In medicine. Inltnltely more certain In its bene ficial effects than quinine, It possessed none of the demerits of that drug, instead of nauseating. It tones and Invigorates the stomach, and while speedily expelling the noxious humors, increases the appetite and facilitates digestion, thus render ing tlie system stronger, and better fitted to resist the attack a of disease. Iu fact, a Judicious use of Mlshler's Herb Hitters at tblsseason ot the year, will prevent the recurrence of this disease, even In those who have never passed an autumn with out It. An experience of twenty years proves t to be the greatest aktm-ehiouic Known to niedl. cal science. There are, perhaps, no diseases so subject to climatic changes as alTectlous ot the Kidneys. Hundreds of our farmers, mechanics, and labor ing men, strong aud hardy in all other respects, suffer oontlnual Inconvenience, and occasionally excruciating pains In the back and across the loins : exerlence a frequent desire to pass water, (lain In Its passage, and frequent stoppages In Its low. These are manifestations resulting from some strain or heavy lift (perhaps years ago), and aggravated by every change in the weather. Every slight cold flies direct to this one weak spot, and unless promptly attended to the disease becomes chronic, and the once strong man a miserable wreck. Mlshler's Herb Hitters Is the only certain remedy for tills class of diseases. It has a pecu liar tendency to the kidneys, stimulates them to healthy action, aud removing the cause, prevouts the formation ot brick (lust deposits, which, If permitted to continue, will by cohesion form grav el stone, necessitating a painful operation for Its removal.
