A Narrow Escape.

Ed. e. NJ. Spratt, in tho Christian
Chronicle, furnishes the following nc
count Of n narrow escape from demo-
MAC violence. We are acquainted
with the lady, and rejoice in her safe
,y. Surely it was tho hand of Prov
i.lence that turned aside the murder
Gus intent:
"Mrs. Margaret Walters, collector
at the Saltzburg bridge, a widow Ia
dy, aud daughter of bro. Andrew
johnson, of Lnyslhauna, made mar
row escape from being murdered on
The night of The 14th ult. The toll,
house was en,credby negro wretch,
who had stripped himself Of all his
clothing, and placed it under tho
bridge, until his purpose of robbery,
and probably murder, should be com
ple,ed. By some means, however. af-
ter entering the house, he fell into 4
sound sleep. Hisbreathing alarmed.
Mrs. Walters, who, upon getting a
light. to her surprise, saw her peril
Gus condition. Reckoning to her lit
tie son, only ten years of age. she
passed him, and securing tho money
drawer, pissed out and alarmed tho
neighbors. The wretch was secured
by the police, while yet sound asleep,
with butcher knife clenched in one,
hand, and round of chair in tho
other. He was taken before magis.
trate aud committed to await trial at
the next Court of Indiana county.

IMPORTANT DECEslOS.

We understand that the Court Of Ap-
peals has recently mada an important
constitutional decision, 10 the ELECT,
that the law of,he Legislature exempt
ing persons mulcted in fines for mis-
drmeanors, from imprisonment Tor the
non-payment Of the fines, is uncons'I-
lutional, IN other words, that the Legs
lature has no power TO release the debt
ors of the Commonwealth from their
Indebtedness, when that Indebtedness
has been assessed by Jury for Il viola
ton of the criminal laws Of the State.
Under this decision, thp clerks Of the
several counties Of the State will issue
4 capias against all who have fines
standing unpaid against them, and il
apprrhendcd they will be compelled to
pay the same, secure its payment, or
serve q six months term in the county
.ni. Thuse who have been in the hab-
ii Of violating the peace and good or
der Of society by assaults and batteries,
selling liquor without license, and CONF
hitting various trpspasses, thinking they
would escape because the sheriff could
no! find any property upon which to
levy TOR tho fines, would do well "a
consider the practical operation of this
wholesome decision oil our Court OIL
Appeals. For obtaining this decision
of The highest tribunal OF our State, we
understand the community are indebted
to that able and perssverlng Jnris', H.

past. seems to have aba,cd. There
have heen no new cases, that we Gun
hear Of, since Friday, the 23d nIt.,-'

persons attacked. n majority have re-
covered or are now couvalosclng,-
But two or three cases remain winch
are considered dangerous. Tho 'ndI'
cations are that the worst is past.
The record of its mortality, how
ever, is sad to look back upon. Those
who so lately were the picture ofhea''h
and through whose veins coursed tho
vigorous blood of you,h-who were
ornaments in the society where they
were bclovedand rcspccted-who bid
fair to add usefulness in after years to
the accomplishments already deve!-
opcd-now numbered with the early
dead! No marvel that the sympa-
theric should dim tho eye, aud the
deep sigh choke the uttcrance, OF the
survivors who perform the last sad Of
fees to the departed. Tho blank
which this Provilontial visitation has
made in our community will rot soon
be filled, nor will the memory OF its
scenes be soon oblitcrated, though the
busy scenes oflife may encompass u.s.
as they ever will, to shadow the WIS.,
