A terrible scene was enacted in the San
Francisco police court on the I'd instant,
when prisoner stood up in the dock, drew
a razor suddenly across his throat, and held
it up in view of the court and spectators
dripping with blood. A great stream gushed
from his neck, but there he stood glaring
about, and still holding the bloody razor
high in his right hand. All who saw him
seemed for the instant petrifed with horror,
but Judge provinces cried out : "Seize that
man! Seize him and carry him below"
Several officers caught him and took the
razor out Of his hand. He was instantly
taken below into the prison, and surgeon
sent for. When taken down, and while the
blood was yet pouring in torrent from his
throat, he stood partly up, staggering and
striking ct all who came within his reach !;
but before the physician arrived he fell
over and expired.

mond, and grandmother of Charles r.
Church, died this morning at 4 O'Clock, in the
eighty frst year Of her age. Mrs. Read has
been an invalid for great number Of years,

misses Of blessed hereafter. In all things
hers was Christians life ind death she
bore her sufferings with perfect composure,
and awaited the summons of departure with
trusting confidence and hope. Her venera-
BILE husband, "Father" Read Gas he is

TARBoRo', N. c., April %, 1868.
About forty negro soldiers, with two white
oaicers, passed through this town for
(;reensville and Washington last week, and
on last Sunday those who went to Washing
ton arrested DR.. j. Mcdonald merely be-
cause he talked boldly to the officer Of the
rreedmen's Bureau at that point, who had
,sken servant from his house. They
passed through here yesterday with him, on
their way to Goldsboro', at which place he
will be tried by the military. . -
On Saturday night those of the soldiers
that stopped at Goldsboro' went out to the
house Of Mr.. Riddick Carney, about seven
miles from that town, and made an attack
on him and family, just before daybreak,
By shooting his son-in-law, Mr.. Whitehurst,
who went out on the porch when aroused
from his slumberS by the noise about the
premises. a@ .t166
The fight then began in earnest between
those without and Mr.. Carney and his son
within. The latter killed two negroes and
wounded one of the officers, who utterly
failed to drive the whites from the
house. Finally the soldiers became so
inturiated that they set fire to the house
in four places, and just before the son
was suffocated by the smoke and flames
he rushed from the house, and was in
stantly killed. Mr.. G. was not heard from
or seen afterwards, and undoubtedly
mingled his ashes with those of his house.
Immediately after the close of the war
an attempt was made by the military to ar
rest Mr.. Carney for supposed hostility to
the Government, when he killed q soldier
and il is supposed that this savage and bru-
tai attack was remembrance by the SOL
dicrs Of that occurrence.

A LEATHER CEMENT INvENTED.-A party
in England has discovered cement which
is to become most valuable agent in the
hands of manufacturers of articles Of
leather, including boots and shoes. Patches
can be put upon the uppers and soles upon
the bottoms Of shoes with this cement, which
will SO adhere that no known agent, heat,
cold, oil, water, or any other influence, will
operate against its utility. In fact, we are
informed that leather will part quicker
where the cement has never been applied
than where it has, SO great is its adhesive
property. We can easily recognize the
value Of this cement in its application to
patches. Waxed thread rarely holds in
wet weather, and patch soon gives way.
In the use of this cement we are given to
understand perfect combination is formed,
which resists all attempts to separate the
patches Joined. 10 the trade here it will
be priceless, and we hope soon to learn
more about it. If it should turn out that q
sole can be applied without peg or stitch,
and never give way till worn out, it would
be one of the most valuable discoveries OF
the age.-Hide and Leather Interest.

In digging the cellar for the new building
that is to go up on the southeast corner of
the square at Carrolton, Illinois, the work
men on Tuesday last exhumed the bones Of
man. How they came there no one knows,
but the event has called to mind an old
fact that probably explains the matter.
Thirty years or more since a boarding
house was kept on that corner, at which q
stranger, who was supposed to have some
money, stopped. After remaining awhile he
suddenly disappeared, and no one knew what
became of him. A suspicion Of foul play
rested on the keeper of the clearinghouse.
twas supposed that he had made way with
the stranger for his money but there being
no evidence of the fact no arrest was made,
and the rumor soon died out. The board
ing-house keeper died some time since.
Those old citizens who were aware Of the
disappearance of the stranger believe that
the discovery of the skeleton fully con-
frmed the old belief Of foul play.
