her father had the negro arrested the same day,
and the knife and the gag were found by the
police on the stable loft, as she had described
them. Her wrists and ankles were marked where
the cerds had been drawn about them and she
had marks elsewhere upon her limbs and neck.
For several days she was scarcely able to walk
and DR.. Nichols described her condition as painful
in the extreme.
There was an attempt made by the defense to
weaken the force of her testimony. She had
stated before the recorder In the preliminary in
vestiRation, and also at the trial yesterday that
she had no recollection of ever having seen the
prisoner before the day he had violsted her, and
she certainly had never spoken to him before
Ihe crime was committed on Monday, and three
negroes were brought to the stand, who all swore
thet they saw her talking to him on the previous
Sunday.
The jury, however, evidently did not believe a
word they said, for an unqualified verdict Of
guilty was rendered. which brings upon the brutal
rsvisher, the penalty of death.

take the Spaniard. The latter, however, not

in hsiling the boat, at the same time telling the
ferrymsn in his native tongue that he would geti

planned, and the nearest grog shop furnished the
spirits to wash the Spaniard's face and throat.

BASE BALL.-We have received from q friend
at Pass Christian, the following account Of a base
ball match, played on the college grounds in that
village, on Saturday last, between the " Heroes"
" Atlantcs," from the Brothers. College. Our
informant writes as follows:
A" The former club is composed of young gen.
tlemen between the ages OF Ia and l6 and is IN.
der the command of Master Willie Finley, who
has shown great skill by the manner in which he
manages his men upon the field. By the accom-
panyiDg score, you will see that he did the best
playing upon the ground. While the playing Of
all was uncommonly good, it would be wrong to
pass unnoticed the manner in which young Stille
Commonly known as the Little Gisnt,) acquitted
himself, ably assisting the club both by his good
fielding and as batsmsn. 1t is not difficult to
predict for the young Heroes" brilliant career
and enviabe position among the base ball frsser-
nifty. Annexed is the score of the match. Bro.
