'Tiihe suffleriD,e. ii. ii. Aiaba1na. !

We had another call yesterday from Rev.
CIV. -Neeley, from LoWndes county, Ala
bama, who has been soliciting aid for the
people of his section in different parts of
this, State. We are glad to learn that his
mission thus far has been a successful one I;
that the people upon whom he has called
have responded literally, and that he has
been enabled through their kindness to re-
lieve in a great measure the immediate
wants of the people whom he represents.
Mr.. Neeley is daily in receipt of letters from
persons at home, and the uniform express
sionis that the distress in that section must
be much greater than it has yet been, as at
this time rich and poor, white and black,
are equally needy, and all are depending
solely upon the liberality of the people
farther north who have been favored with
ssenough and to spare.'' 1t is sad to con-
template the suffering and distress of the,
people of large portion of the State, which
must be occasi)ned by the absence of the
necessaries of life. These people are in
utter want. The supplies that have been
sent to them have barely been sufficient to
sustain life, aud they are actually suffering,
being unable in any case to obtain enough
to crafty their wants. They do not ask for
luxuries nor for an abundance of substan-
tial food; they only plead for enough of
the common. necessities to sustain life until
their crops are made. It is the duty.of our
people to give, according to their ability,
such articles as they may have to spare;
provisions and clothing, or money to pur-
chase the same. We have seen letters from
respectable parties in Lowndes county,
stating provisions that have been given to
Mr.. Neeley and forwarded promptly by
him, have reached their proper destination,
and these acknowledg have been ac-
companied,s in all instances, by an express
sion of nnbounded gratitude to the donors,
who will be glad to know that they have

Marriage by Clog and Shoe.

.
A correspondent of Notes and Queries
writes: -
"ln the registers of the, church at Ha-
worth, in Yorkshire, now famous for the
place where Miss Bronte, 'Currer Bell liv-
ed and died, and also remarkable for the
wonderful assurance with which its inhabi-
tants, past and present, have asserted its
church to have been founded in the year
600, there occurs an entry giving a list of
marriages at Bradford, and by clog and
shoe in Lancashire, but paid the minister OF
HawOrth the fees mentioned. This is in
the year 1733.i Haworth is not far from
the border OF Lancashire. What is the
meaning of marriages by clog and shoe in
Lancashire ? In some parts of the Riding

slippers after the newly married pair when

splendid grays, began to move off a score
or more shoes and slippers were seen fly

An Extraordinary Escape.

A Scotch paper-the Hdddtngton Courier
has an extraordinary story OF the escape
of miner who fell down the shaft of a
cQai-pit near Tranent. An old shaft was
made use of to open communication with
a new pit recently sunk. About half way
down the shaft, which was 276 feet deep, a
wooden staging, composed of strong two
inch planks, was built, completely inter-
SectiBg the down shaft, to afford firm
Noting to the miners entering the side
shaft. At the bottom of the down shaft
wasa considerable accumulation of water,
asis usual in pits which have not been
worked for some time. On the occasion in
question, a young man named Mylne, rath-
er than wait for the comparatively tedious
process of being lowered down by the
windlass,- said he would slide down the
rope. Disrega garding the advice of his
companions, he got upon the rope, and
they were in another moment Mortified to
STE that he had lost hold of it. The crash
of his body against the wooden staging
arations to descend for the mangled
remains, when. a cry for assistance was
heard coming up from the very bottom of
the pit. The rapidity Of his descent of 40
feet had propelled him through the two
inch boards as neatly as if his body had
been a rifle bullet, and with about as little
injury, for not a bone was broken. and, ex-
cept small scratcl1on the chin, his person
did not bear the slightest mark of coming
in contact with anything during the de-
scent. Failing into the water at the bot
tom, he had, on coming to the surface prov
identiaIly thrown his arms over some
wooden framework which happened to be
there and had thus been saved. The man
was found here, and was conveyed home
quite conscious. and under medical care
will soon be able to go out of doors,
The story has certainly the appearance of
a fable, yet if it is possible to shoot candle
through an inch board, why cannot man
be shot through two-inch plank? The
naFratiVe-is at least amusing, and anybody
who chooses. can have the liberty of doubt
ing that it is well authenticated. 81

A YOubg MAN Poisoned at His
- et Dinner

Shortly after two O'Clock on Tuesday af-
ternoon young man named Harry Rivers,
a conductor in the employ of the West Di-
vision City Railway Company, was seized
with sudden and violent pains while run
ming his car. In short time he became so
much worse that hewas incapable of per-
forming his duties. He was taken to his
boarding house, where physician was
promptly summoned. An examination of
his patients symptoms resulted in the dis.
covery that poison had been administered.
Powerful remedies were at once applied,
and the young man, whose condition had
been really dangerous, was in a short time
in a much more hopeful state.
When questioned as to the cause of his
illness, Rivers said that he believed that the
ham which he had eaten for dinner was
poisoned He said that a large piece of the
meat had been placed on his plate, and that
he alone partook largely Of 1t. He sup
posed that his illness was attributable to
This source. The affair created eOnsidera-
bic excitement as it was spread through
the community. There were some who
believed that Rivers had taken poison,
while others, nearer the truth, perhaps,
said thatsome young woman had given him
the dose. The police at once began to in
yestigate the matter, and it is stated that
they had, last evening, learned sufficient
facts to warrant them in arresting the keep
er of the boarding house where Rivers
boarded. AT q late hour last night the |

state Robbery.

Talking, few years ago, with noted
lobbyist at Harrisburg, he frankly confess
ed he and his kind had relieved the Com
!, monwealth of pretty much an the proper
,tY it had worth plundering. During the
past session a systematic effort has been
made to gather up and carry off the frag-
ments, that remained, and this endesvor has
been crowned with a large measure of sue
cess II the accounts are true, and we think
they are, the: bottom of the Treasury has
been cleaned out, and a round deficit left.
+ NOR IS this all. An attempt was made to
rob the Sinking Fund of $S00000, for pre-
venting of which the people seem TO be in
debted to Mr.. Wallace, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. He raised
the point that by the plain words of the
certain sources were pledged to the liquida-
tion, of the public Indebtedness, and could
not be applied to general purposes. -B "
81 This compelled a cutting down of the
financial budget. which looked to the ex-
'penditure of 81 900 600 more than the esti-
mated income; and this notwithstanding
/, what the Chinese call "a squeeze" of at
least 800, 900, had been made on the four or
five New York coal companies operating
in Luzerne, county. The slashing com
menced on the penal and charitable insti-3
tutions. DIxmont was lowered from $780,
200 to 100000; which signifies that the
new wing may wait for completion. All
in similar proportion, We do not hear
that the $500, 900, given to certain border
counties, as indemnity for losses by rebel
raids, was recanted. There was said to be
100000 stealings in that arrangement,

something else, over their salaries. Hav-
ing voted themselves more wages than the
law allowed, they concluded not to take it,
because the money could not be found.

sion will end tomorrow 9aG sl as3i /
The above is from the Gazette of Wednes-
day. The credit of7preventing the State
from being plundered of $S00,000 is proper
ly givento Hon. W. "A. Wallace, Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, and member of the Senate. We are
glad to see this courageous denunciation of
the State jobbers by Republican journals. |
