A MINISTER DEGRADED The Grand Jury
of Middlesex county, Massachusetts, have
indicted Methodist minister, Rev. VIM r.
Bagnall, hitherto standing very high, for a
feloneous assault, with an attempt to commit
a rape, upon the person of Alice j. Higgins
of Charlestown, one of his flock and also
for an indecent exposure of his person. His
brother, a worthy mechanic, became his
bondsman in $4,000 He has lately been
settled at Chelsea, and is on the School Com
mittee. The young woman, Miss Higgins,
lately sued female in Charlestown, for say
ing she was with child by Mr.. Bagnall, and
recovered 81 300 damages. The female slam
derer was Mrs Hiram Averil. Three ply
sicians, who examined Miss Higgins, testified
that she was still maiden. This suit grew
out of an attempt to shield the minister, by
alleging that the girl was ono better than
she should be-" A Committee of the Confer
ence to which Bagnall belonged having in
vestigated the effair, he has resigned his
pastorate.

Gen. McDougall was not our first choice, nor
the first choice Of the Democracy of this

content with the result They would have
preferred the election of any Democrat, ra-
ther than permit the election to 90 over tt,

could not stop their insane quarres and con
temptible chickering's long enough to elect
Senator, independent of Republican aid The
Breckinridge men, if they had not acted fac
Jiousy, might have selected from among he
Douglas candidates the successful m,n In
stead of doing this, however, by their own
incompetency and lack of brains and leader
ship, they threw this power into the hands
of the Republicans After such evidence of
the want of principle or lack of sense on he
part of the Breckenridge leaders, Douglas
men will feel but little desire to combine with
them. Sensible men generally don't very
earnestly desire to go about with milestone

Legislative Commissioners.

Yesterday. Mrssrs. Merritt, Harvey, Hem
derson and Magruder, members of the Com
mittee appointed by the Legislature to exam
me into the condition of the affairs of the
State Reform School, drove out to the grounds
and made thorough review Of the building
and its surroundings They appeared to he
veil pleased with the location. They had
expected to see low, swampy ground, hut it
was on the contrary beautiful upland, and
commanding most attractive prospect
they had no, expected to learn tbnt the riv er
was navigab' all the way up to the site of the
school, (and farther) and that goods could be
l,nded in forty steps of the building
They were much pleased with the excel
lent quality of the bricks used in the build
i1g and the substantial, accurate and work
manlike manner in which the labor had been
done.
They were also gratified to notice the good
quality of the land-the bottom land, few
hundred yards distant being of the richest
possible quality, and the upland ION which
the building is located) being of the very
first class of uplands in tie valley. with a
subsoil capable of indefinite improvement
and fertilization. The beautiful evergreen
oaks that ornament the view were not lost
sight of in the praises bestowed
The amount of money expended on the
work so far has been only about $l5, 900, out
of the thirty thousand appropriated. and
two storie- nearly of the building has been
completed. We think the Committee will
hardly vote for throwing all the labor away
and beginning some new scheme for a school
somewhere else Satisfied that the present
location is a good one. that the money has
not been improperly expended, unless ii
might be in one instance, where there was
no authority of law for the expenditure ia
small amount), and satisfied that the plan or
which the building is erected. is good one
and that the Contractor is faithfully carrying
out his contract, we cannot see how the Com
mittee composed as it is of intelligent and
impartial gentlemen. can do otherwise than
report to the bodies which sent them-the
Senate and the Assembiy-in favor of the
continuation of the progress of the build
ing and the early establishment of the
State Reform School on the site already
chosen.
The Committee, after their return from
the State Reform School Building, visited
room in the Court House, in which were de-
posted the plan and specifications of the
Building, as well as the epresentations of
buildings for a similar purpose in various por-
| ions of the United States. and maps and
hooks obtained by Mr.. Pelton, ae contribu-
tions to to the institution. in his recent trav-
els through the eastern cities. The volumes
number about $500, and are an admirable Sc
lection.

AN AFFRAY BETWEEN TWO Men AND Born
KILLED "A terrible affair occurred at the
Garihaldi, or Italian House, near Pine Grove,
on w ednesday afternoon the 18th inst, be-
tween an Italian named Augustine Longin
otti, Of Volcano, and an Austrian named Eli
jah Daniel. of the Gate" in which both the
parties lost their lives on the spot. The body
of Daniel was brought to place near Jack
son, on Tuesday, and an inquest held by
Coroner W. E, Field. We make up our state
ment of the matter from the testimony then
and there given. Elijah Daniel. and ,thers,
were seated at q table in the Italian House,
eating salad, when Augustine Longinotti
sufficiently under thr influence of liquor to
feel merry, came into the room and threw
knife upon the table. The intruder was ex-
postulated with and entreated to retire qui-
city, or 90 to bed and not make any disturb
ance. Daniel took Longinotti by the hand,
told him he was his friend, led him outside
the door, turned to go in the house again,
when he was stabbed in the breast by Long
inotti Daniel then drew a revolving pistol
and fred three shots AT the third fire
Longinotti fell and expired. Daniel falling
back ward and expiring at the same instant.
The witnesses before the inquest on the body
of Daniel, 1.-TWO Austrians and two Itaans)
insisted that Daniel made none but the most
friendly demonstrations towards Longinotti
until the stab was given. and that no one
present said or did anything to create dis
tnrhanee, or to instigate the difficulty. We
understand, however. that two teamsters,
who happened to be passing by, will give q
somewhat different version of the matter
The body OF Longinottil vi as taken to Volcano,
where an inquest would, no doubt, he held.

which was about thirty feet in hight, and
which fell almost instantly and without
warning, and buried the unfortunate man
beneath the dirt and rocks The alarm was
instantly given, and hundreds of miners and
citizens came and all human aid and assist
ance was rendered to save him from his per-
ilous situation, where he remained for about
half an hour. but after diigent search the
body was found, and it was ascertained that
he was quite dead, his breast being crushed
and his skull mashed and bruised in most
ghastly and horrible manner The deceased

EJtcTING SETTLERS. Approximation are
entertained that the sheriff of this county
will have some difficulty in executing a writ
OF electment on some settlers on the Chnbolla
Rance, near this city. We are informed that
considerable resistance is threatened, should
the process of the Courts be carried out. We
know nothing of the merits of the case, and
express no opinion upon it; but it must be
sell-evident to all concerned, that resistance
to the regular process of the Courts is not
the way TO redress real or imaginary wrongs.
Our citizens generally are, we eleve, law
abiding, and we won ID regret to learn that
their good name should he tarnished hv any
acts Of violence. That mode of remedying
a wrong is not only ineffective but foolish ;
and no sensible man will resort to it We
hope that this dispute will soon be settled in
an amicable manner, and that istice will be
done on both sides,-Sdn Jose Tribune.

SPRING OIL The discovery of springs of

yet there is a similarity in their normal con
dition. The Pennsylvania oil is used for the

tues of arnca etc.

it costs, but is extensively shipped to foreign
markets
9th As an Illuminating oil, it excels any,
thing yet produced. 1t is already adopted
to a large extent by the various railroad lines.
and the General Government has Just closed
a large contract for it to supply the light
houses. In fact, it possesses twenty-five per
cent more Illuminating power than the hest
coal oil, and from the fact that it does not
chill in the cold is far superior to the best
sperm oil. In faot, coal oil no longer pays
for making and soon the poor whale will
