A servant girl in the employ of Wm. H. Rose, living near this place, while going out into the garden after wood on Saturday night was seized by a man, who threw her to the ground, jumped upon her, breaking two of her ribs, and is said to have Btabbed her two or three times in the chest. She was found unconscious and is believed to be lying at the polut of death. Her assailant is believed to have been a wealthy farmer, a relative of her employer, who is at enmity with Rose's wife. The assailant evidently mistook the servant for Mrs. Rose. The Queerest VeriHct for a Month. We note with a certain feeling of municipal pride that as a source of diver sion the glory of the Detroit jury has lost none of its ancient lustre. Age can not wither it nor custom stale its infin ite variety. In the Jackman adultery case in the recorder's court, for instance, the Jury returned this verdict : " We find the prisoner at the bar not guilty, on account of his innocent wife and five children." Considering that the wife was the plaintiff and had made out a olear case, this verdict was especially kind. Detroit Press. Bank Notes Preferred to Gold. In Chicago the curious spectacle is just now presented of the banks doing all they possible can to get rid of the necessity of using gold. They cannot t pay it out to their customers, as the lat ter do not like to use it. They prefer greenbacks and National-bank notes. Nor do the banks like to use It in pay. ing their Clearing-House balances, as it is too cumbersome, too costly and too risky for this purpose. Banks that happen to have credit balances at the Clearing-House have been known to send to five different banks, which had i debit balances, in order to induce the officers of these latter to give their checks in liquidation of the same, pre ferring to take them to the gold. In this way the banks manage to use as little gold as possible in liquidating their balances. The matter with all the banks is as to the whereabout of the greenbacks and bank-notes. They seem to have been so diffused through the country that it is impossible to collect any large amount of them together at any one point. Railroad Accidents. A collision occurred on the Cincin nati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad on Wednesday morning last, at Jones' station, nineteen miles -north of Cincin nati. The train known as the Sidney coommedation was too late at this place to reach its regular meeting point of an outgoing train, and was taking a ide track, when train No. 13 came up behind it and caught the pear car, which had not J eft the main track. The engine broke Its own upper works and filled the car with escaping steam, .scalding and otherwise injuring fifteen passengers. An accident on the Raleigh and Gas ton' road OftOurrpd pnrlv WurlnMilnv morning at xoungsvnie, twenty miles from Raleigh.

V ExpresB Messenger Charles M'Clouskey 1 of this city was caught between the iron Isafe and the car and crushed to death. Irwo passengers were slightly Injured by jumping from the car window. The ex- j press car caugni nre from the fetove and was totally consumed, but the body of M'Clouskey was extricated and all the express goods were saved. The train was delayed about three hours. Early Snow Storms. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct., 17. The wind-storm which prevailed here yester- day and last night was the severest ever known In this section, and the barome ter was never known to he so low. The wind was from the south, blowing be tween sixty and seventy miles an hour, A large fleet of vessels sought this har bor for safety and rode out the gale in the Bay. Dispatches from La Crosse say the storm along theSouthern Minnesota Railway was the severest known in years. Passenger and freight trains along the line were blockaded iu snow drifts from ten to twelve feet deep, and teams with provisions have been des patched to their relief from several points. The train which left La Crosse on Friday, has not been heard from since leaving Fulda, that night. All the cuts west of Fairmont are filled with snow, packed hard. Reports of cattle, horses etc., having perished are constantly re ceived, but no loss of human life has yet been reported. It Is the worst storm ever known in southern Minnesota and eastern Dakota, and Is stilj raging. Sioux City, la., October 19. All the roads leading to this city, except the Sioux City and Pacific, have been block aded by snow, but the Centrul of Iowa is open to-day, and the other roads are fast getting out of the drifts. The weather has not been cold, but large losses in stock are reported. A Singular Case. Sax Francisco, October sil. Last night George A. Wheeler went to the police Btatlon and confessed that he had murdered his sister-in-law, Delia J. Till son, In a lodging house at No. 23 Kear ney street, and packed her body in a trunk. His statement was at once veri fied. The circumstances of the case are remarkable. The deceased had been liv ing with her sister, and Wheeler and the latter had subjected her to his de sires, his wife being cognizant of the fact but concealing the affair to avoid a scandal. Latterly a man by the name of George W. Peckham, who became ac quainted with the family some time ago at Cisco, Placer county, sought to marry Delia. This created jealousy on the part of Wheeler, who yesterday, while Delia was sitting on his lap, choked her to death. Wheeler and his family for merly lived in New York. Shot by a Hen. Last week the Rev. Mr. Petrey, of Stanford, Kentucky, who was holding a protracted meetlug at Rock Castle, went to the house of one of the brethern to spend the night. He had hardly got seated before a hen flew in the house and attempted to alight on a rifle that hung on the wall. The weapon tipped over, and falling on the lock was dis charged, the ball taking effect in the thigh of the preacher and causing lock jaw, from which he lied on Wednes day. 3" The Rev. Dr. Thomas of Chicago is a Methodist nreacher who doesn't believe in the Methodist theory of the Atonement, or in the plenary Inspira tion of the Scriptures, or in Hell ; who associates with Unitarians, and who is even suspected of being oa friendly terms with Agnostics. He makes no- conceal ment of his opinions and no apology for his friendships. For years his soimrs- on have scandalized some of the more orthodox brethren, to whom it has seemed a grievous thing that a heretic, without the fear of Wesley's Sermons or Watson's Institutes before his eyes, should be preaching at a fat salary to the wealthiest ftonffreo-nMsin In lm Northwest, while they themselves 'are sent by the Bishop to ride circuit on the prairies, where they got less money in a year than Dr. Thomas pockets every fortnight. In Conference on Saturday one of these brethren offered a resolution re questing the Rev. Dr. Thomas to with draw from the traveling connection that is, to take himself out of the Meth odist ministry. Another brother moved the appointment of a committee to find out just how heretical the Doctor is. The despatch says that the younger preachers generally sided with the al leged heretic. This, if a fact, is a very significant fact. It may well set ortho dox Methodists thinking. After discussion, the erring brother was voted out of the Methodist church.

One year from to-morrow (October 21st,) will be celebrated at Yorktown the Centennial anniversary of the surrender of Curnwallis. This event closed the war of lbs Revolution, though the treaty of peace was not signed fur two years. The Interest felt In the celebration In the South Is already great. At Richmond a charter has been grauted to promlueut men of different parts of the country, who organize for the promotion of the celebration. The President of the organization is Judge Robert Ould, audita Vice Presidents are from Penn sylvania and Massachusetts. The name taken is the "Yorktown Centennial Association," and the principal office will be at Richmond. The most emphatic portion of Secretary Eheiman's speech at the serenade to him on Monday evening, and that which received most applause, was bis attack upon the doctrine of " State rights," and his demand for a central government based upon the changed condition of our affairs. Bis declaration that as the States became more numerous tho relative importance of each one became less, was tamultaonsly applauded. Secretary Schnrs Is expected back from the East to-morrow. There has been since his departure a general expression of regret that he should be absent while affairs of so grave importance with the Uto difficulty need the best attention the interior Department can give them. Arrangements are being made here to prevent the proposed sale, for debt, of Mrs. Fassets painting of the Electoral Commission. Influ ential gentleman will, It Is said, advance tho necessary money, and attempt to reimburse themselves by securing an appropriation from Congress for the purchase of tho painting. No offer from Individuals, of amounts nearly equal to the artist's estimate of the value of the painting, have been received. Those advocating the distribution of the Geneva Award fund by the coming Congress, ara now actively eugoged in preparing tha merits of tho different classes of claimants In which they are Interested, for presentation. Though there aro different plana for the final distribution of this fund, tho different classes of claimants will combine In resisting the third proposition of Its disposal, namely i to make It a part of the sinking fund for the reduction and paymont of the public debt. This Geneva matter has claimed the attention of Congress at almost every session since the award was made by Oreat Brltlan much discussion has been bad upon It, W not one good and valid reason has yet been advanced why the money should not be distributed to claimants, the merits of whom to be declared,' of course, by Congress. The plan of using this fund to tho reduction of the publlo debt Is simply an easy way of getting out of a troublesome question. Tho money was paid to this country for dam ages sustained by citizens. The understand ing plainly was that the money should be used for the purpose awarded, and It would be clearly a breach of faith, a blot upon the Na tion's honor to use it for any other purpose. The award'eays the money Is paid for the " sat isfaction of all claims referred." The "claims" were for damages, hence It follows, that tho money was - awarded to pay these claims for damages, and to use It for another purpose would be other than contemplated whon It was paid. The United States did not claim the money to reduce Its public debt, but to remunerate those who suffered by the Ala bama and her sister cruisers. Let overy honest man In this country feel an Interest in this subject, It Is one not only concerning ourselves, but another Nation. Let our Congressmen apd Senators provo themselves men of honor, by awarding this money, not to themselves, but to tboso for whom It was demanded and paid. Outs. -- Living Witnesses. The hundreds of strong, hearty, rugged and healthy looking men, women and child ren, that have been rescued from beds of pain, sickness and well nigh death by Parker's Olnger Tonlo. are the best evidences in the world of its ster ling merit and worth.
