TELEGRAPH WIRES IN INDIA-Mr. Russell
in his letters from India to the London Times,
gives an amusing account of the troubles ex-
perienced by the Geographic operators in that
country Not only do the rebels cut the wires,
but wild beasts repair to the posts to allay GU
taneous irritation; and when an elephant gives
good rub against pole it generally comes to
grief He says he has seen half Il dozen mon
keys and balloons at work on one feeble stretch
of wire, posturing, grinning, and chattering
away in the highest spirits-some walking
topsy-turvey along it, others Juggling it up and
down with main force, considerably increased
by the circumstance that other monkeys were
hangingaon by their tails, and others striving
to detach the wire from the posts, so as to
give their friends sudden fall white ants eat
the base of the posts away; sudden gusts of
wind blow miles of wire and posts flat to the
earth and the thermometer reaches 12O deg,
making it very easy for the operator to wilt
away at any moment.

TERMAGANT WIFE AND UNHAPPY WIDOW
An interesting case is now pending before the
Supreme Court in Boston. 1t appears that
William Stabbs married four wives during his
life. He always lived amicably with the first
three, and kept alive the spirit of his man
hood. BY one of the first three wives he had
two pretty daughters, for whom he entertained
warm parental feelings. About seventeen
years ago he married the appellant in this suit,
somewhat of tartar. She assumed the "pan-
falcons" of Stabbs, and forced him to wash the
clothes of the family on each Monday, and to
give her his whole salary each Saturday. She
was the best head man, physically, mentally,
and financially. Besides, she had the manly
vices of smoking and swearing, in both of
which she seems to have been an expert.
When Stabbs died he left his whole property
to Mrs Stabbs, except fifty dollars each to his
daughters. Upon the facts referred to above
Judge Putnam set aside the will. The pres
ent case is on an appeal from that decision.
The daughters claim that their poor fathers
spirit was broken before he died, so that he
was not able to make a will.

The OBERLIN RESCUE TRIALs.-The ap-
pication to the Supreme Court of Ohio, for a
writ of habeas corpus in favor of the Oberln
rescue prisoners, was argued at Columbus on
Monday and Tuesday. We ought to have the
decision by telegraph, for it must have been
made on Tuesday or Wednesday. AT Cleve-
land, the United States Marshal has kept Jen-
nings and Mitchell, his witnesses from Ken
lucky, secreted. There is warrant out for
their arrest as kidnappers. In defying the
courts and government of Ohio. he had talked
of the "cannon's mouth" and things of that
sort but he afterwards backed down, evident
ly fearing that neither the Governor of Ohio
nor the Sheriff at Cleveland were persons to
be triflcd with. Here is an account of the
condition of the affair, on Monday and Mon
day evening last
Omitted States Marshal johnson raised and
swore in posse, consisting of, it is said by the
Marshars friends, about one hundred deputies
Twenty of these arc ex-Democratic police
men. The whole of Fire Company No. 6,
with saloon loafers, made up the complement.
This step excited much surprise. But last
evening it became known that he had in view
some plan to effect the escape of Jennings and
Mitchell, the two kentucky witnesses who are
under indictment by the grand jury of Lorain
county for kidnapping. 1t was supposed that
the posse had been got into the cars for the pur-
pose of guarding them to the cars. Dep
uty-Sheriff Whitney OF Lorain county, who
has writs for the arrest of Jennings and Mitch
ell, on learning of this project, last night,
threw guard around the Federal Building
to prevent their escape. In case of any such
attempts under the escort of the whole posse
force lay i'll readiness near by to rally to the
assistance Of the guard. Twice during the
night carriage made its appearance close by,
for the purpose of receiving Jennings and
Mitchell, but the stealthiness of its approach
excited the suspicion of the guard, and, by in.
spring them to increased watchfulness, pre-
vented the success of the plan. Watch will
be kept upon the building day and night.
1t is feared that an attempt to spirit Bush
nell, who is still in close confinement in the
MarshaPs room away to some secret prison, is
also designed by the Marshal, notwithstanding
the pledge which District Attorney Belden
gave to the Supreme Court ON Saturday, that
in case of the issue of writ of habedS corpus,
the Marshal would obey by having in court the
person of Bushnell.
1t is said-aud boosted of by the Pro-Sav-
cry men here-that a request has been made
upon the President to order the United States
steamer Michigan to this city, and place it and
its crew under the orders of the Marshal, and
that the President has granted the request.
The Michigan is an iron boat carrying one
gun, and a force of from seventy to one hun
dred marines. The precise purpose for which
the boat or marine force is to be used is Sc
cret with the Federal officials.

STRUCK JURIEs.-What they mean by
"struck jury" in Ohio, and how it happened
that all the jurymen in the slave rescue case
at Cleveland were Buchanan Democrats, is
thus explained In civil cases either party
has right to have a "strucS" or special jury
In criminal cases the defendant has such
right. The defendant Bushnell asked for
struck jury" and thereupon the IT, s. Clerk
and Marshal selected forty names Of men in
the Northern district. Among these names
were ten Republicans. Each party then had
right to strike out twelve of these names.
They did 50, the District Attorney striking off
eUerV Republican. From this striking process
comes the name-"struck jury" That left
sixteen Democrats to be summoned as the iu-
rors from which twelve were taken who form
ed the jury spoken Of The new jury empan-
nelled to try the second case is made up of
one Republican, one Old Line Wing, and ten
Buchanan Democrats, and there is therefore a
chance for its disagreement

The SUICIDE DoDGE.-An entirely new
confidence game has been started at the West,
A man goes to hotel, appears very detected,
calls for room and registers his name rings
his bell soon after retiring, points to an empty
vial on the table, labelled "two ounces of laud-
anum," and asks to see clergyman. A cler-
gyman and doctor are hurried in, emetics and
consolation administered, and the young man
is saved, penitent, and needs only money to
get home TO begin new life. A purse is made
up, the railroads furnish free pass, and the
young man goes on his way rejoicing, 10 act
the same tragedy at another place, with the
same results. This dodge was practiccd ut
Sandusky and Dayton, Ohio, by the same
chap, and he was going further west, to try it
again, no doubt. He called himself Lamar
lne, and protested to be related to the cole
DRAFTED frcnchman, and also to several Of the
Virginia aristocracy
