We are sure the public will not believe the
report which the Border Rnffiln of Southern
Kansas and Western Missouri ha We started witt,
regard to Capt. Montgomery and The Free
State men of that region. Capt. Montgomery
Is not merely brave aud true man, but ho is
anxious for peace and Justice, aud only the
most iutolerable wrongs ever goaded hin, into
the field of combat. Fort Scott is a well
known Border Rufian stronghold of long
standing, wherein all manner of tubbcries and
outrages have been plotted and set on foot
against the Free State men under the pretense
of devotion to ''Lew and Order" The recent
clearing>out by military fo:ce of the settlers
on the Indian Neutral Lands south of Fort
Scott was among the last of these outrages. -
When the whole truth comes out it will an
pear that Capt. NJ. an his Fcoe-St.te neigh.
bors have only done what they must do or be
driven into exile. All may no, remember that,
when the whole couatry was rigging with
charges of wholesale robbery, arson, treason
and murder, against Capt. Montgomery two or
three years ago, he ooolly walked up to the
Federal Governor and surrendered himself to
take bis trial; and no grand jury could be in
duced even to find bill against him. So, We
trust, be will vindicate himself noW.-.N. Y

The last Gazette is sorely exercised ia try
ing 10 account for the defeat of its party IN
Bedford County, at the last election, when we
carried the County by 2Sl votes over the Read
ing ticket, and by 181 votes over all ePpos-
ton. 1t trys to make itappear that the d.
minished vote of its party since the October
election was caused By its voters staying at
home. The cause of the diminished vote of
lis marty is as follows: At the 6rst election
nearly every Bell man land there we're So of
theml voted for Foster, and they voted for
their own candidate at the last election;
great many of its friends who voted for Foster
changed to Lincoln at tie second election, and
some few stayed at home, as they always Go.
We lost as many voters on account of our trl-
umpb, as the Loecfoco party did on account
Of its defeat Why, the Bell men gave them
the County at the first election. Il they had
voted for us, as they did fer the ilocofocos, We
would have carried the County, high and dry.
As matter Of course, We leave to the Gazette
The qualification ef showing the causes of its
patty's defeat. We have had some expert
ence in these things ourself, aud can appseci-
ate its pbeelinka
As to the typographical mistake that Lin
coin had ISL votes over Foster, it may make
the most of it. We had written it "over all, ="
and the compositors made it Foster. The ta-
bic in our paper of that week, and the article
itself showed il to be a mistake. Iu the same
paper in which il attempts TO make capital
against us in regard to this oversight, in an
article headed Qualification in Pennsylvania, !"
in ~lieh it attempts TO libel The North, it says,
"some pine or ten of the Souths'A States"
''have passed laws or had Judicial decisions
nulIifying one Of the compromises of 1880,
Tie law for the rendition of fugitive slaves. :"

RunlurIy Outrage in wisconsin.

Recently, Warren Burbank, residing at
Madison, Wisconsin, took team and went TO
his fathers house, at Primrose, for the pur-
pose of bringing back some provisions. Dur
ing the night, Burbank's wagon was taken to
pieces and part of it carried of, and the horses
badly mutilated. Burbank then obtained
another wagon, loaded it with provisions, and
started to return to Madison. As he arrived
at Mount Vernon, two persons, with their
faces masked and otherwise disguised, stepped
out of the woods into the road; one of them
seized the horses by the bits, the other went
behind and around the load, setting the hay
on fire. The horses were held until the flames
of the burning hay rushed up and around the
boys. 1t was with difficulty that the little
lad could be induced to leave the load, being
more afraid Of the assailants than the fire
blazing around him. The elder boy UNDER
took to get the horses loosed from the load,
but was Immediately knocked down with q
club, and the horses kicked and beaten to
make them run away with the burning load;
the persons in disguise then leaving suddenly
themselves. The horses were overtaken on
the top of a high HILL close to Mount Vernon.
The boy succeeded in cutting the horses loose
from the burning load, but not until they
were seriously burned and rendered almost
valueless.

Virtue Triumphant-A YOung Girl, Be-

and Happiness. uU.U lHr rflfH n .l.t9HI
A few well-authenticated instances are re-
corded Of criminals who have been restored
to consciousness after having suffered at the
hands of the hangman, One Of the most in
teresting of these cases occurred in Paris In
l766. In that year, young girl Of very pre-
possessing appearance, from one Of the inte-
rior provinces Of France, was placed at Paris,
in the service of man depraved by all the
vices of that corrupt metropolis. Smitten
with her charms, he attempted her ruin, but
was unsuccessful. Incensed at his defeat, he
determined on revenge, and, in furtherance
of his design, secretly placed In her trunk
articles belonging to him and marked with
his name. He then denounced her to
magistrate who caused her to be arrested,
and the missing articles being found in her
possession, she was brought to trial. In her
defense she could only assert her ignorance
of the manner in which the property came
into her trunk, and protest her innocence
She was found guilty, and the sentence of
death was pronounced upon her. The hang
man Office was inefficiently performed, IL
being the first attempt of the executioner's
son. The body was delivered into the hands
of surgeon, by whom it had been purchased
He Immediately conveyed it home, and
ceived slight warmth about the heart. By
the prompt use of proper remedies, he re-
stored the suspended animation. In the
meantime he had sent for trustworthy
priest, and when the unfortunate girl opened
her eyes she supposed herself in another
world, and, addressing the priest, (who was a
man of marked and majestic countenance,)
exclaimed; External Fatherl you know my
innocence; have pity on me-" In her sim
plicity believing she beheld her Maker, she
continued to sue for mercy, and it was some
time before she realized she was still in the
land of the living. The surgeon and priest
being fully convinced of her innocence, she
retired to a village far distant from the scene
Of her unjust punishment, where she after
ward married, and lived happily to the close
of long life. The community subsequently
became acquainted with her story, and the
author of her misery became an object of re-
proach and contempt. -. .f ...

An Indian Tale In Brief-A Very Romantic
History of the Colonial Times.

The following incident in the life of the
grandfather Of the late Governor Caleb
Strong, of Massachusetts, is quite romantic;
"He had paid some attention to Mary (daugh-
ter Of Capt, John) Sheldon, of Deerfeld,
Mass, and there was love, but no engage
ment between them. On the fatal 10th of
February 1904, she was taken prisoner by
the French and Indians, and carried to Can
ada, where she remained two or three years.
1t is stated that the first question she asked
of those who came TO redeem her was,
whether Jonathan Strong was married He
was married-her return being considered
very uncertain. After her return, she also
married. But in l76l, her husband and Mr..
Strongs wife both died; and these aged per-
sons-he in his 80th year, and she in her
76th-renewed their attachment after lapse
of ifty-eight years, and were married in
l762." Sylvester Judd, Esq, of Northamp-
ton, says that third of century ago, peo-
pie were living in Northampton who had
seen the venerable couple ride through the
streets of that town; she seated on pillion
behind her husband. ..-... -. ...

SEVILLE AND ITS SEMBLANoE-A foreign
correspondent says of the famous old Spanish
city of Seville: 4 Afa. no SIG'A5Et
The rarest paintings are to be found at the
Cathedral, the Museum and the University,
although the visitor not unfrequently
stumbles upon gems of art in his wanderings
in various parts Of the city. II is in SeVille's
Cathedral that the much admired painting Of
Murillo, the "San Antonio" is kept in state.
1t was greatly desired by the late Duke of
Wellington, who offered an almost fabulous
sum for it, but the Spanish Government rV-
fused to part with it for any consideration.
More than half the city is still of Moorish
architecture, andpalaces and bowers are yet
extant which richly repay examination to
the lovers of antiquity. Indeed, know not
a rarer pleasure for him imbued with love Of
the past than to wander through its quaint
old streets, amid its Moorish and Gothic re-
mains. One of the most notable of its many
Moslem towers is the Giralda; SO termed from
its beautiful vane, which yeers with every
wind. The architecture Of this belfry, which
is unique in Europe, has excited much ad-
miration from travellers. Its purpose was to
call the faithful to. prayers, and twas, in con-
sequence, highly venerated by the Moslem.
On its top were, originally, four stupendous
balls, and bell still hanging on the great bel
fry, but the muezzin no longer summons to
prayer, and the power of the Moslem is bro-
ken. l',ira l s I'D 4, iI'f.

A TRAVELLER CANDLES, LOSES AND DESTROYS
HIMsELF,--At a recent prayer meeting
in Boston a gentleman made statement
of sad case Of gambling and suicide which
occurred on board the steamer Empire State
A party of men who appeared to be profess
sional gamblers were playing cards in the
cabin, and urging the bystanders to bet upon
the cards. They induced one man, who had
been apparently interested in the game, to
put down forty dollars, and by one turn of
the cards it was swept into the gamblers
pocket. The loser appeared to be much agi-
lated, and was seen soon after to go out on
the deck, and in few moments afterward
jumped overheard and was lost. 1t is sup
posed that the ohagrin and modification
which filed his mind when he came to reflect
how foolishly he had lost his money, led him
to commit the act. rr F.. ..t.. ~ ..af'i

A TENNESSEE TRAGEDY-A MANSHoT DowN
IN THE STREET.-The Memphis Evening argus
of the 10th observes .a.
Last night in the Eldorado Billiard Saloon
a difficulty occurred between two men named
VIM. Myers and Charles Skinner, growing
out of insulting language used by the latter
toward the former. Skinner, who was con-
siderably intoxicated at the time, assailed
Myers with a number of most approbrious
epithets, which induced the latter to strike
him blow with billiard cue.. Parties here
interfered and the combatants were separated.
After the hostile meeting last night we learn
that Skinner informed number of persons
that he designed killing Myers, but his
threats were regarded only as the paroxysms
of rage, his friends having no idea he would
attempt their execution H .'fn'H.'
Early this morning after having his wounds
dressed by a physician, Skinner related the
circumstances of the saloon affray to gen.
tleman of his acquaintance, whom he in
formed that the affair was not yet termi-
mated and that he would hear something
more of it during the day. Sometime after
ward Skinner met Myers on Administered,
and requested moments interview. The
latter complied, and the two walked along
the street together-few words, if any, pass
ing between them. On arriving in front of
the cigar store at the east end of the Wor-
sham House building, Skinner suddenly
turned around, and drawing II pistol, pre-
sented it at Myers's breast and fred The
bali took effect in Myers's left breast, imme-
diately above the heart, and after uttering
one or two groans, the wounded man stag
gered back and fell on the pavement. The
wounded man can not possibly survive.
Skinner, in the meantime, coolly put up his
pistol and looked on, making no attempt to
escape, and was Immediately seized by two
police officers and committed to Jail.
Mr., Myers is q married man. probably
twenty-eight years of age, and has wife and
two children residing in Philadelphia,
whence he came to this city few weeks
since, for the purpose of engaging in busi-
ness with Capt. Shock, mail and passenger
