REVOLVING ATTEMPT TO MURDER

= - L
Some men have singular modes Of showing
their love and attachment to their Wives,-
but it sesns to US that one of the clearest ex
Ilibitons Of oddly in this respect recently man
Tested itself in Genoa, one Of the Southern
towns in this country. AS the matter comes
to Us upon the most unqnestionable authority
il is as foilows:-
On the evening Of " ednesday. the 9th inst
a Mr.. Lorenzo Patrick, who, by the way, has
always been considered a very good, kind sor
of man, and who was never known Gas she
declares) to say a cross word to his wife, MOI
to do a disobiging thing-after having assis-
ted her in getting their two children asleep,
went into the woodhouse, as was his won't, tc
bring in an armtul or two Of wood.
While out, however, he called to his wife
TO come into the Woodh0use as hen had got Ill
to the well, and he wished her assistance in
getting it out. After making some little effort,
by lowering the bucket, in the hope that the
fowl would thus be induced to cling to the
rope or bucket, he called her to see what
she could do. She accordingly took hold OF
the rope, he at that time standing by the wind
lass-and while she was leaning over the curb,
he, without uterlng a word, caught her by
the feet and threw her over head first into the
well-which is not for from IS feet deep, the
water coming up within some feet Of the
Platform. When she went into the water,
she did not let 90 Of the rope, but went down
the length of it, and then came up the rope,
and got out Of the water with her feet upon the
stone, and screamed fer help.
The monster then got light, Ohe one which
they had, having been put out when she went
-. Il, ,,-oll \ nd took hoo ri -pI
dertook to jamm her down into the water
She said, .'Lorenzo, for Gods sake. don't
murder mel" and he replied 81 won't" He
then got over into the curb and let himself
down so as to put his feet on her legs, and
tried to push her feet from the stone on which
they We're placed Now she clenched fast
hold of his platform, and by his help raised her
self 50 that she got hold Of the curb At this
same time, he got cut Of the well, and taking
his knife, cut off the rope which he supposed
she was still holding on-as he says he never
saw her come out Of the well. After she got
out she ran TO the nearest neghbor's and gave
the alarm.
Mrs. Patrick is woman of very delicate
health; they have been married about 5 years.;
are not far from % or 30 years Of age; have
two children the youngest about nine months
old; and they have always borne good char
acters,
Patrick was arrested but made his escape on
Sunday night following. and is yet at large
From every attending circumstance, it appears
to one of the most deliberate, cold blooded
transaction of which we have ever heard
For some weeks before, he had been very busy
in collecting debts, but has scarcely been known
to pay iathing on any bill presented No
doubt is felt that the foul deed attempted has
been long prenedtated.

THE LIBERATION OF DORR.

The federlists of Rhode Island have misca /
culated the force of public opinion in their per
sistance in the tyranny they exercise over
Gov. Dorr. The very pretence Of clemency
they have evinced, only serves to exhibit that
tyranny in deeper colors. The Rhode Island
Government have declared before the world
that, unless Thomas w Dorr. nsv lying in
prison on charge of treason to the govern
ment, shall make, in an oath Of allegiance, a

Excitement ln GeoTg6t0}On.- re
GeorgetownAdyocate OF yesterday thus
notices an infamous affair, which caus-
ed no little excitement in that place:
"A free negro man, named Charles
Cole, and his wife Maria, were on
Tuesday taken before the Mayor, upon
charge Of keeping house Of ill-lame
near the market. The arrest was
made on Monday night, after a stout
resistance by the negro, who stood at
the door threatening to 'cut down the
fist man who entered. The fellow: sur
rendered, however, on the appearance
of the Mayor, and suffered his castle
to be taken possession Of. The par
ticular circumstance which led to the
arrest, was finding there, in the earlier
part Of Monday night, yuung white
girl from Washington, said 10 be the
daughter ola respectable German, who
came here in search OF her. The girl,
it appears, had been enticeG TO the IN
famous den by the colored woman,
and, on the fathers entering in com
pany with a police officer, a white man
made his escape from her society by
jumping from the window. Several
hours were spent in the examination Of
the parties, which resulted in the com
mitment Of Cole and his wife, in de-
fault of bail, to prisoner to await TIL
al.
'This, of course, is gratifying re-
suit. Such places Of crime and pro-
iligacy should be broken up, and it is
to be hoped that no pains will be spar
ed to ferret them out.

Ierdn Cotton.-The increase ofthe
growth of Texan cotton is as follows:
in 1886, 100000 pobnds: in 1898,
/ 400, eco; in 1899, 100000; in
1910, 100000; in 1912, 100000;
and in 1915, 100000 by estimate.
This however, is bat small part Of
the cotton raised there. These amounts
We're taken from the returns of cotton
imported TO New Orleans, entitled to
debenture. But much Of the Texan
cotton went through the Custom House
at New Orleans, all passing there as
American cotton. A hundred thou
sand bales is the estimated cotton crop
raised in Texas in 1914.

But it seems that some of them still
wish to hold a Convention, and that

forward those, who fear contest be-
fore the people. 1t is deep plot, and
intended only to carry out some selfish
whims, or personal caprice. AS far as

that there will be no Democratic can

"Fire IN the Mountains, run boys,
run. 1.-The mountains east and west
Of this place have burned from base to
base during the past two weeks, filling
the valley with a cloud Of smoke; and
there has been an almost unabating and
strong wind, blowing alternately from
the south west and north -west-so that
the fire has been brought 10 the valley
with accelerated speed. Owing TO the
extreme dryness Of the wood, and the
vast accumulation Of leaves and dead
timber, it has required the utmost pre-
caution and constant labor Of those re-
siding near the mountains, to prevent
their fences, cord wood, &c. from be-
ing burned. But notwithstanding the
exertions to prevent it, fences have not
only been destroyed to considerable
extent, but a vast quantity of timber,
and especially pine, has been very ma
terially injured and we are sorry to
say that several persons have lost cord
wood to large amount--s loss which
will fall heavily upon many Of them, as
it is the only way in which they obtain
a living.
In some instances, the fires have OIL
ginated accidentally; in others, they
have been the work of those who pas
ture their cattle in the mountains, and
who burn the leaves that the grass may
grow. These persons do not consider
the amount OF injury and trouble they
inhict upon others, to secure to them
selves trifing advantage.

4 Horrible Story.-We find story
in late Arkansas Banner, OF a man
starving in a fit of mdasla- a-potu, and
eating his own fingers. The tale is al
most too horrible for belief. 1t appears
that two young men, while hunting In
a swamp, were arrested by low, faint
moaning sound, Or kind Of gruntlng.
They at first took to be a wild am
NAL of some kind, but on proceeding
to the spot, found man, nearly ma
ked, lying in the mud and water, stu
pid, senseless, and nearly liteless -
They found, upan examination, from
appearances, that he had been lying
there fer several days, and that he had
eaten off the ends Of the fore and mid
die fingers Of eachshand, and gnawed
all his fingers until they were raw =
Mr.. FIail discovered his name to be
Mays, that he was laborer, and from
excessive use Of ardent spirits had fall
len into fit of mania~o-pot and in this
dreadful state Of mind had left the city
on Thursday-faIlen in the swamp,
probable, on the evening Of that day,
where he lay until found on the Sat
urday evening following. Bat for his
timely discovery, and the benevolence
Of the gentlemen above mentioned, this
poor, miserable being would have died
