Police CouRr.-Much excitement vas
created at East Albany by the shooting
Of prisoner in the police court room
Last Friday afternoon two girls named
Bridget and Ann Burns went to the woods
a short distance from their home to pick
berries, and while thus engaged were ses.
ed by four men who repeatedly violated
their persons. Bridget, who is but fifteen
years of age, cannot live it is said. Soon
after the crime was publicly known Lewis
Major, sged 40, and his son were arrested
and recognized by the girls as two Of the
assailants. They were afterwards taken
before a magistrate for preliminary examin-
alton, but the proceedings had scarcely be.
gun when brother Of the girls shot thc
elder Major twice in the arm and leg, and
he was followed by his mother who struck
Major heavy blow with hatchet upon
the head. Young Burns and his mother
were arrested and Major was taken to his
home, where q threatning crowd was only
deferred from resort to lynch law by the
presence of large police force. Major
was formerly an engineer On the Hudson
River Railroad, but was discharged for mis-.
conduct His son is said to be notorious
bounty jumper. Young Burns tried to
stab him but was prevented by police
man.

The Old Woman and the Crow.

At certain crossroads in the State Of Ala.
bama, stood a small grocery, or "whisky.shop,"
previous to the rebellion. where "bust-head"
aud "chain lightning were dealt out to thirsty
unwashei, at the small sum Of Ave cents a
drink. or twenty cent. a quart The presiding
genus Of this delectable institution was one
Bill Skies. who among various other pets, had
domestirated crow, black as the ace OF
spades. This crow had learned, among other
things, to repeat quite distinctly, the words
'damn you," which he, of course, heard fre.
quently used in the grocery. During the pre-.
valence of = knock down and drag out fight
from his home and few of into the woods,
never to return.
About three miles from the grocery was q
settlement meeting house-an old tumbled
down, dilapidated affair. only used on certain
occasions, when q "circut rider" happened to
pass that way. Into this building went the
crow, taking peaceable possession; and two
days after the church was thrown open for
preaching. and large crowd assembled,
among whom was very old lady, who was
compelled to use clutches in walking. and took
her seat in the "iroRt pew" and was soon deep
ly absorbed in the eoquence Of the preacher
TIE reverend gentleman had scarcely got un.
der full hcadway, and commenced laundering
his anathemas at al grades Of sinners, when
hoarse, croaking voice from above uttered the
ominouS words:
"Damn you!''
The preacher and congregation looked
aghast at such profanity: aud each peered in
his ncighbor's face in vain to detect some sign
OF guilt Quiet vas at length restored, how.
ever, and the sermon proceeded, but ere ten
minutes had elapsed the ominous ''damn you"
again electrified the audience, and just as the
preacher cast his eye upward to search for the
delinquent, the crow dew down from his perch,
and lighting on the Bible, camly surveyed the
terrified crowd. as he gave another do!eiul
croak:
"Damn you!"
The effect was electrical. Giving one start.
led and terrified glance at the intruder, the
preacher sprang through \ window. carrying
sash, glass and all with him and set off at
break neck pace through the woods. closely
followed by his horror stricken congregation,
who had piled out of the building pell NELL
after him. In the general scramble the old
the church, where she lay unable to rise, and
on observing her, the crow, which was after
something TO eat, dew down beside her, and
cooking up his eye At her very knowingly sgain
croaked:
"Dansn you!"
The old lady eyed him savagely for few
moments, and then burst forth, in tone Of
reckless defiance.
"Yes-and damn you too! had nothing to
do with getting up this Methodist meeting
and you know il too"
The poor old soul had mistaken the crow
for the Devil, and concluded to propitiate, If
possible. the wrath Of his Satanic msjssty BY
denying all completely in the affair. The
world is full Of just such people.

PEN PoRrRAlr-Ths New York Mercury
gives the following personal characteristics OF
the parson governor Of Tennessee:
"A dusty, sallow nan-all gall and bluster.
He is Scotch Irish by birth. and shouting
Methodist preacher by profession; fierce. rather
than strong IAN uncomfortable friend and an ugly
enemy. He is tall and awkward man, with
large hands and shambling feet. His provin.
calism is shocking and his coarseness repulsive.
The most unchristian Of preachers. he makes
it cardinal sin TO forgive an enemy. His per.
sonali.ies are dissustingly original. He has
some virtues-never drinks or smokes. His
son John has tho same style of temperance,
but once killed fellow collegian"
