At the present term Of the Unite

AT the present term of the United
States District Court tor North Missis-
sippi at Oxford, Judge Hill presiding, the
usual question came up as to whether the
lawyers would be permitted to practice
without taking the s'test oath" and after
consideration the Judge announced that
all Attorneys who had been admitted to
nractice in the Federal Court before the
war. would be regarded as competent to
nractice in it now, without further quail
fication; but that all other Attorneys dc,
string to appear before the Court must
take the test OATH.
This is a discrimination not made by
any Federal judge in the South hereto
fore.

larine Disasters.

The TX Woodlands. Williams from,
Liverpool Galveston, before reported, went
ashore durh heavy gale (29th ut.) from the
eastward, ant drove through the quicksands nearly
up to the station of the old light ship. Captain j.
b. Haveland was sent out on the steamtug S. @.
Hall, on the Both, but the sea was so heavy he
could not communicate with the ship and was
obliged 10 return. At daylight next morning he
went on board the steamtug Elizabeth Read and
boarded the ship, finding her bilged and full of
water up to her deck beams. The sea was too
heavy to lay alongside, but in the afternoon the
Elizabeth Read received on board most of the
light cargo between decks, and on Thursday night,
the tide running out, the ship fell over on her side
and the sea was breaking over her. On the LIST
inst the steamtug Elizabeth Read received ten
inch steam pump, which would be put on board
on the I'd, and under the superintendent of Cap
tain Haveland hopes were entertained of saving
the ship, but it was quite doubtful.

| CRIMINALS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Fort Leav-
enworth correspondent of the Columbus co., Jour
| nal writes:
A peculiar freak of nature occurred here on the
10th ut. Four men who had been committing
some crime, for which crime warrants were issued
for their arrest and the proper civil authorities
were in pursuit of, sought refuge under large
tree between here and the city, about half mile
from the fort. to protect them from the rain as it
was raining very rapidly and was uncommonly
stormy, and such storms as are only known in
hansas--Tind blowing with terrible fury and rain
coming down in torrents, laundering and lightning
as though the clerk Of the weather was on a bust.
Well, as we may say, by an iRterposition of provi-
dence, these men were struck by lightning and, OF
course, instantly killed, but. strange to say, al
though every man WIGS killed of the four, not q
sign of the freaks OF the electric fluid was visible
on the tree, Their bodies {the mem were as black
as coal, and two of them horribly mutiIated; the
ground was torn up for several feet around the
tree, but it remained untouched. At the same
time several housesswere struck in the city, but
no damage done save the demolition of the chin
neys.
A bailif recently undertook to serve capfas
upon debtor who fortified himself within his
domcile. Describing his bootIess efforts to secure
admission, the baiGh, who made his return under
oath, proceeded to say: "Whereupon the defend
ant presented himself at an upper window, pistol
in hand and said to this deponent, that if he this
deponent did not instantly leave said premises he
said defendant would send this deponent to hell,
which this deponent verify believes would have
beeR done if he had not Immediately fed"
