The suns rays are the ultimate source
of almost every motion which takes place
on the surface Of the earth. By their
heat are produced all the winds. and those
disturbances in the electric equilibrium of
the atmosphere, which give rise to the
phenomena of terrestrial magnetism. By
their vivifying action vegetables are elab
GRATED from inorganic matter, and be-
come in their turn the support of animals
and of men, and the sources of those
grea! deposits Of dynamical efficiency
which are laid up for human use in our
coal strata. By them the waters of the
sea are made to circulate in vapor though
the air, and irrigate the land, producing
springs and rivers. By them are pro-
duced all disturbances Of the chemical
equilibrium Of the elements of nature
which. BY series of compositions and
decompositions. give rise to new products
and originate q transfer of materials.-
Even the slow degradation of the solid
constituents of the surface, 10 which its
chief geological changes consist, and their
diffusion amorg the waters Of the ocean,
are entirely due TO the abrasion Of the
wind, rain and tides, which latter, how
ever, are Only in part the effect Of solar
influence and the alternate action of the
seasoa.-[Tyndale.

THE VILLAIN Is IN JAIL.

Much excitement was produced in this
city early yesterday morning By reports
that a crime heretofore, we believe, IN
heard of in this vicinity, had been per
Retsated near this city.
The facts as we ascertain them are
about as follows t-
About clock yesterday morning
Mrs. DulliDger, who lives some distance
in the county, was on her way to the city
to attend church, and when near the
residence of Mr.. E. ]. Dobell, she was
attacked by two negroes.
She being a stout woman, about forty
FIVE or City years Of age, made for a
time successful resistance, when one
Of the brutes drew pocket knife and
cut her several times severely in the
face, neck, and shoulder. Growing
faint from loss of blood, she was over
powered BY the brutes and dragged
across fence into a coru field, where
her person was violated by both, who
then made deliberate attempt to Kill
her, but were frightened away by hear
ing persons approaching.
The whole neighborhOod was quickly
aroused and turned out in search of the
tends. To the meantime, whilethe hal
murdered woman was conveyed home
and physicians called to her assistance
who report her in critical condition
Diligent search was made for the per
petrators of the horrid crime, andp2t
young negro named Joe Coins was ar
rested by officers Jewett and Long
brought to town and lodged in Jail, butt
was not then known that he wasa parti
cipator in the crime. Late in the after
noon the other brute was pointed GU
to Joe Wesboro and his brother, by I
negro boy, and was By them arrested
+ and brought to town and lodged in jail
We were unable to learn his name. H
lived near Wesboro's, beyond PigeoI
Greek, near the railroad.
We are informed that be made con
fession of the diabolical crime, impli
T eating the boy Joe. Upon searching
. him, the knife was found, bloody, an
his clothes were bloody, though he ha'
made an effort to wash the blood from
his shirt There we're also found on hi
E person razor, the earrings of their vic
a tim, which had been literally torn frou
+ her ears, and over 81 in money. Th
, boy Joe, we understand, acknowledge
getting 81 from the other negro. Th
g amount Of money taken from the woma
, was about SIS. Z AZ III
This revolving outrage has create
much feeling in the city, and the il
famous and british wretches will n
doubt receive, as they deserve, th
, severest punishment Of the law.

A NAMELEss CRIME.-We, for the first
time, on yesterday heard of most base
and yillainous crime, perpetrated in
Stripgtown, by man whose name we
could not learn. Ttappears that he was
caught in the act of attempting to com
nit rape on the person Of a child only
eight or nine years old. 1t seems he
was discovered in the act by the brother
of the child and by him badly beaten
with piece Of plank, and would doubt
less have been killed, as he should have
been, by the incensedsbrother, had not
others, hearing the noise, interfered and
saved the life of the incarnate 6end,
who is now in jail. Such crime as
that should be punished vita death.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. - Some two
weeks since, says the Wabash Express,
+. NJ. Lucas, If Pierson Township, Vigo
County, sold to John S Risley, formerly
of Terre Haute, but now residing in the
same. township, tract of land. Risley
represented that he bad money in one
of the banks of Terre Haute, and the
two parties, after preparing the deed
transferring the land, started to Terre
Haute in buggy TO get the money.
This Is the last that has been heard Of
Lucas By his friends. Risley returned
home with the deed in his possession.
What makes the affair more mys'e-
rious is the fact that, on inquiry at The
banks in Terre Hsute, it is found that
Risley had no money on deposit re-
Gently. 1t is said be also gives different
versions Of bis parting with Lucas, one of
which is that thsycamssnear town about
daylight, and parted company to meet
during the day somewhere IN the city,
since which time he has not seen Lucas
The affair is causing no little interest
in the immediate neighborhood, and
many Of Lucas's friends fear that he
has been foully dealt with, while others
think be has absconded. His domestic
affairs are reported to be not Of the most
desirable character, having recently been
married and few weeks afterward was
