The Partisan ladies have made a
new and startling invention in dress.
They have made bonnets smaller and
smaller and beautifully less, until at
last they consist of nothing more than
ribbon round the head with a veil at
tached- to it. The veil Is generally
black, SO that our fair DANES resemble
greatly Spanish ladies.
The CoEumbine, the so-called wo-
mems paper, lately started in Paris, is
dead-and we'll dead. It was a disre-
Putable afair, and disgrace to the sex.
AT some of our watering places, a
new fashionable entertainment, which
has lately come in vogue among Pari-
sian ladies, has been introduced, name
", the Dinner Tea" or, the Dindtoire.
This Is, more properly, a country or
suburban dinner, offering to young
ladies and gentlemen who meet for
croquet, archery, boating, etc., and was
never intended for papas and mamas,
who love to sit over their bottle of wine.
The advantages are, that evening dress
is not de TiSeur. The croquet, archery,
or boating costume is admissible, so
that, after the diiGtoire, sport may be
resumed. In fact, it is "A picnic at a pri-
yate residence, where ceremony is abol-
ished for the day.

AIrociOus Murder In Marion County.
From the FaiFmOlt YetIette. Of Friday last.
MURDER IN GRANT TOWNSHIP
On Sunday evening, about nine
O'Clock, u horrible murder was COM
mltted on Booths Creek, in this county.
We obtained the following particulars
OF the affair from David Martin, a BROTH
or of the murdered man:
II appears that on Sunday evening
Ezekiel Martin started, in company
with Two or three others, to go to the
mouse OF Benjamin Martin, Intending
TO remain all night, and cradle oats for
MIN on Monday. When within halfa
mile ofthe house, the party met BeIija-
min Martin, 90 and having a bottle of
whisky in the crowd, all took drink.
Benjamin declared himself at peace
with all mankind except Ezekiel, who,
he said, had been talking about him,
and that he intended to have redress.
Explanations followed, and the parties
took another. drink, shook hands, and
expressed themselves glad that the DIFF
tculty had been settled. About this
time. the persons who had been
with Ezekiel when he first met Benja-
min parted company with the two Mar
tins, both of whom proceeded on, chat
tlng IN the most friendly way, towards
BenJamtn's house. On reaching the
house, Benjamin was in ad-
vance, and stepping inside the
door, took a revolver from the table
and shot, the other in the head
as he was coming up the steps. The
ball entered the centre of the forehead
and passing between The right and leFt
lobe of the brain, lodged in the back
part of the head or neck. Ezekiel lived
about three hours. Benjamin, soon
after, left the premises and going to the
house of Mr.. Mantley, his father-fn law,
told him what had occurred, and re-
quested him to go and take charge of
the body. Since then he has been.
hiding in the woods. The citizens of
the neighborhood, knowing the desper-
ate character of tho man, are afraid to
search for him. He was seen In the
woods near his own house on Tuesday
evening. Great excitement prevails in
the neighborhood. A reward of five
hundred dollars has been offered for his
capture. The prospect of getting the
reward may stimulate the nerves of the
community SO that somebody may ven
ture into the woods in search of the
desperate. Hn7 % t.fE
The murderer and murdered man
were second cousins and had both been
IN the rebel army. BenjaminwR was mar
ried a few months ago and resided on
one OF the best farms in this county.
He Inherited the farm from his father,
Jesse Martin. Ezekiel, who was killed,
was an unmarried man and son of an
other lessee Martin. H4H

EFFECTS OF THE EUROPEAN WAR;
Specializing upon this, the New York
Journal Of Commerce says:
''If we accept the verdict of European
critics, theOdOwnfal of the Austrian
Empire has virtually been accomplish
ed. The prestige of the ancient house
of HaPsburg, as representing a great
military power, is done away. The
German Confederation is DESTROYED.
simultaneously, the Kingdom of Italy
is coming forward to enter the first rank
among the governments of Europe.
Prussia in. like manner wheels into line.

other. All this may yet be changed,
but it is the summing up of the leading
journals upon the case in its present as

canoe. Victor Emanuel still rests un-
der the ban of papal recommendation;
and yet heis about to hold in his hand
the key of Rome. Plus TX. cannot con-
template this truth with any. degree OF
satisfaction, and the calamity which has
befallen Austria, always the faithful
son of the church, is no less affective to
the Holy Father. It was Austria that
upheld tho concordat with steadfast
fidelity. Austria has contributed lib
orally to every call of the papaI treasn-
ry. What may be the consequences OF
suddenly striking away this substantial
support, and Of advancing,-in in a man

nacle of political power, time alone can

influential minister, Bismark, mani

hostile to constitutional government
there would be more reason to hope
that the interests of civil and religious
liberty would be subserved by the mar.

Hampers WEEKLY, in an article di-
rected against the pretentions ofDemo-
cratic orators, who now claim for their
party the direction of the government,
has the following biting enumeration
of the services" which the Democrats
have performed for the nation:
What, then, are the services of the
Democratic party that it sshould
again be trusted with the direction OF
the government The history of thirty
years answers. Its service consists in
having strengthened by every appeal
to passion, ignorance and cowardice,
the only aristocraticc class in the United
States, and an aristocracy founded
upou the degradation oflabor. 1t SER
vices consists in systematic debauchery
ofthe national conscience, of a fierce
denial of the fundamental principles OF
the republic equality of rights in
an attempt, under the forms oflaw, and
by means of blood and terror, to fasten
slavery upon Kansas; and when the
people, at last aroused to the fearful
truth, constitutionally cast that party
from power, its browning service con-
sists in rushing to arms, and seeking,
by "a most desperate and prolonged
struggle, to overthrow the government.
The Democratic party, whose conspira-
cy against the equality of rights, has
been foiled both In the field and at the
polls, now turns to the American
people, who have been its spectators
and victims, and informs them that it
IS the only safe, and patriotic, and con-
servatiye, sand conciliatory, and Union
loving party in the land.

Indications. as marked by thousands OF

to an average of about eight and a half
tenths Of an average crop of wheat, Of a

in the June report. Winter barley is
in very near the same condition as the
wheat. The crop has been nonihally

Maine and New Hampshire every
State reports a greater breadth of corn

heads were suddenly uncovered, for the
winds of heaven to blow down on us
as If the strong arm on which we have
leaned We're snapped asunder, and we
were roughly told to walk alone, Then
df our parents loved us, as some par
ents can love- the mind that most
thoroughly understood us, the heart
that was most entirely wrapped up in
us, the Hpsithat most entirely spoke OF
us, the soul that SO often prayed for us.
the face that we first learned to recog3
nize, the voice we first grew to obey. the
hand we first tried to grasp. the Knee
that we first tried to climb, the cheek
we first wished to kiss, are gone and
will never come back. We NAV be in
our prime, and for years past may have
been bearing the burden of our life and
the burden of other lives; vet the
thought that our father and mother are
really gone, and that we can no longer
consult them in our difficulties, nor
contide to them our secrets, nor share
with them our Joys, nor lavish on them
our love, makes The heart sad with a
q sep and abiding sadness, unless it has
grown old in premature decay.-Sujl.

This summer will witness an exciting po-

it VIII, indeed, throughout the country. In

most important elections occurring since we
became State in the Union.
Our neighbors in Pennsylvania also elect a
Governor and a general State ticket, and in
Ohio they elect Congressnen and members OF
the Legislature.
Therefore, it is that the people generally OF
the three States need to keep themselves
thoroughly posted up on the progress of our
national afhirs. alEiEs H4a
