A lad was attacked and severely injured by a
SOW on the 1lth inst. in Mercer county, Missouri
The occurrence is thus described by the Princeton
Advance:
Mr.. Miller Abraham had been in our town on the
11th. We gave him the package of the Advance
to convey to the subscribers at Modena. Upon
his arrival at home, he dispatched his son, about
ten Or twelve years of age with the papers for the
postoflice.
The little boy started, and when within about a
mile OF the office at Modena, he heard noise of
some infuriated animal coming after him, out of
the brush on the road side; looking around, he
found it was a "sow;'' he started to run, but was
soon oyertaken by the furious swine, and torn and
manged in cruel manner. The boy finally ees-
capped and made his way to the town, where he
was attended by physician, his wounds and bites
dressed, and returned home. His arms were bit
ten by the swine in several places, his legs and
thighs severely torn by the tusks of the animal.
We are truly sorry for the little fellow, and will
place his name on our free list, and keep it there
| during our natural lives.

DEATH SENTENCE UPON A WOMAN.

DEATH SENTENCE UPON A WOMAN.
Mrs. Martha Grinder, condemned to death
for poisoning woman, is to be hanged in
Pittsburg, Pa, on the 10th Of January. The
day of execution was announced to her ON
Tuesday last. The Chronicle says:
When the sheriff entered, the unfprtunate
woman greeted him, but on seeing the crowd,
evidently OWNED the object of the visit, and
sinking down on the cot, covered her face
with her hands, and sobbed bitterly Sheriff
Stewart then read the death-warrant, fixing
the 10th of January, 1866, as the day of her
execution. During the time of the reading
of this fearful doom, the prisoner gave way
to violent grief, and in vehement manner
protested her innocence. After the reading.
Thomas NJ. Marshall, Esq, q counsel for the
Z prisoner, spoke to her in feeling manner,
informing her that there was no hope Of
pardon or executive interference that the
Governor had gone to Cuba, and would not
return until the dread day hsd passed He
urged her to Danish all thoughts of escape or
pardon, and implored her to make diHgent
use of the time allotted to make that pre-
paration for death we all need. :
Mrs. Grinder replied that she knew that
she was sinner, and had great need Of pre-
paration, but she was innocent of the crime
of which she had been convicted. She then
requested an interview with her husband, and
urged his discharge from prison, as he, too,
was innocent. On being told that the re-
quest would be granted, she appeared more
composed, and bade Mr.. Marshall, Mayor
Lowry, the sheriff, and Others good-by, re-
questing them. to visit her again. After all
of the spectators had left the CELL except two
or three, the nervous system of the wretched
woman, which had been strained to its
utmost, gave way, and she fell fainting on the
bed. Restoratives were Immediately applied,
and through the attentions of her cell mate
and those around she was soon restored to
consciousness, and when we left the cell was
apparently quite composed

Gov. Jenkins, Address.
MILLEDeEvILLE, Ca, IA.

MILLEDGEV1LLE, Ga., IL.
Gov. Jenkins was inaugurated as Governor
of this State to-day.
In his address to the Legisl ture, he says
"There is no conflict between the Consti-
tuition of the United States and the 'Consti-
tuition of the State of Georgia. The laws Of
the United States are supreme"
The Governor then pays handsome tn
butte to the good conduct-of the negroes Gu :
ing the war. He says that they must be
thoroughly protected in their personal prop
erty and have the right to enter the courts.
They should be encouraged to work, and
then they would be the best working class
and their late owners the best employers in
the world
The Governor then reviews the condition
of the State institutions, and says that for q
time even the lightest taxes will prove bur
densome, but he thinks that in the end the
people will not suffer-
He concludes his address with an earnest
prayer that " God will help us ALL"
At the close of the address Provisional
Governor johnson handed the great seal Of
the State of Georgia to Gov. Jenkins, who
took the oath of Office, and was then declar-
ed by the President of the Senate the Cor
ernor OF the State.
The sentiments .of the address are most
cordially indorsed by the members Of the
State Legislature, which adjourns to-morrow.

The Test Oath.

< We learn that the House of Representa-
tives, on Monday, 18th, decided by vote of
1875 to 80 to maintain the present test oath
as it is. This is virtually saying that no
member elect from this State shall be admit
ted to seat in the House, for only one of
them, MIR. Jones, can take the oath, and it is
not probable that he alone will be admitted.
Neither of the Senators elect from this State
can take the OATH
This test oath viii be insisted on not only
as to members of Congress, but as to all
other officers of the Government-Co Collectors
of the Revenue, Posthasters, &c. It would
be great accommodation to our people, and
an act of simple Justice to the Union men Of
the insurgent States, if this oath could be
so modified as to put it in the power of that
portion of the Union men, who are really
true, to take it. On account of the techni-
cal character of a part of this oath, the num-
her of those in this State who can conscien-
tiously take it is small, while there are thou
sands who could cheerfully subscribe it if di-
vested of this objection. 1t is hard, for ex-
ample, that such true Union men as Robert
P Dick, John Pool, William s. Mason, Ed
win G. Reade, Thomas Settle, and many who
might be named, should be excluded from
Office by this feature in the oath. Besides,
if this test is applied to the Postoficers of
the insurgent States, the people must suffer
greatly for the want of mails for the reason
that a large majority of those who. would
make suitable Postmasters, and who would
apply for mail contracts, have been, in one
shape or another, connected with the rebel
lion. If Congress is fixed in its purpose to
maintain the oath, as it certainly appears to
be, we trust some modification will be made,
so far at least as the revenue and postal ser
vice are concerned.
The people can now see the Importance of
the advice we gave them before the late cleo
ton, to elect men to Congress who could take
the oath. 1t is idle to fret--to say the re-
quirement is, hard one, and that the'radi-
Gals are responsible for it. The Republican
party, which now governs this country, and
of which such men as Andrew johnson,
William Fl. Seward, Schuyler Colfax, Will
liam Dennison, Horace Greedy, John w. For
ney, and Henry ]. Raymond are members, re-
quires this oath. 1t is deemed essential by
this party to safe reconstruction of the Fed
eral Union, and we apprehend the policy in
dicated by the vote of Monday last will be
adhered to. There is no danger that the
President and the majority in Congress will
come in collision. They will act -substanti-
ally together, as the sequel will show, in con-
Quoting the great work of reconstruction.

CAPTAIN BENJAMIN RoBINsoN-We are
gratified to learn that Captain Robinson, of
the Fayetteville Neus, who was carried to
Raleigh under arrest few days since has
been allowed to give his parole not to leave
the city, and is now enjoying the freedom Of
that wonderful place. We are assured that
he will be released and permitted to return
to his home in a few days. Wonder if some
of the Raleigh presses join us in our congrat-
ulations to Captain Robinson p Wilmington
Dispatch.
Of course the Dispatch is gratifed at the
release Of Robinson. "a fellow feeling makes
us wondrous kind" If the Editor of the
Dispatch had justice he would himself be
here, giving his bail to answer for seditious
language.

Important from Washington.

We have seen dispatch from reliable
source in Washington, received at o'clock,
Tuesday night the 10th, which states
That the President sent message to Con-
gress to-day on the condition of the South
ern States. which is very conservative in tone.
Gen. Grants report of his recent tour accom-
panies it; also, reports from Generals How
ard and Schurz. Gen. Grant says the peo-
pie are in earnest, and acting in good faith
towards the government The message pro-
duced marked effect in Congress.
Also, that the Secretary of State has issued
his proclamation declaring that the Consti-
tutional amendment has been adopted by q
sufficient number of States It is thought
the President will send in message in day
or two, declaring the Provisional govern
ments at an end.

Feeling at the North.

A friend has sent us the following letter
from Philadelphia, written by gentleman of
high character and ability.
He speaks very freely and forcibly concern
ing the policy to be pursued by the South,
the condition and prospects of the negro,
and the probable reconstruction of the
churches Read what he says:
Undoubtedly it is the policy of the South to
follow the Presidents lead, and to accept his
policy and plans oitaout seeming to BE- torceato do
50. Therising opposition to the President among
Memdicals. finds all its aliment IN the South.
The discussions touching the admission of
the Southern men will be long and earnest,
and think that it will be determined very
much by the character of the men presenting
themselves. Some will be taken and Others
left. In this view think the election of Mr..
Graham from your State, while unpardoned,
was mistake.
As for the future of the negro, that is an
immeasurable question which do not touch.
l can see very clearly that unless he makes
the white man of the South his friend, his
case is bad one. His position and his re-
lations must be fixed very soon, however, and
certainly in regard to what he is to be, and
to receive, will be of great advantage to him.
I look for an increasing emigration to Libe-
ria of the better class of the blacks.
As to the church, think that the Presby-
terians North and South must stand apart
for some years. We.must wait in this mat
ter for the influences of time and grace, and
lam afraid that time will do more than grace.
If the churches should remain apart, and the
State be thoroughly united, / must think it
will be reproach to the church, and Sc
rious responsibility will rest somewhere
There is wide feeling Of sympathy for the
distresses of Southern ministers, and good
many dollars will flow South this winter for
their relief. Perhaps social and benevolent
movements win do more to bind us together
than any other"
