last week, while attempting to cross, or
standing closely by tho rod leading from the
horsepower to the threshing machine, when
oil wore in motion. His pantaloons catching
fast to bolt in the rod, his body was caused
to make number rofrevolutions, with much
rapidity, before the machinery could be
stopped, thus injuring one Of his arms to
such an extent that amputation was found
necessary, and hurting the other SO as
to never be Of much service, besides terribly
bruising and mangling his whole body. The

So The Tunkhannock Democrat says
that an attempt to burn the Court House
at that place, with all the records and ar
chives, was madcon Saturday night by some
miscreant in human shape. The villain had
made his arrangements for his Internal work
with great care and deliberation, by scatter
ing the contents Of bottle of kerosene on
the hemp mating or carpet Of the Hall on
the inside of the inside doors, after which
the match was applied. A portion of the
door-sill and door were found considerably
burned and charred. About two feet square
of the carpet was destroyed BY the fire. By
an intcrposition which seems almost miracu-
lous the fire thus kindled went out, saving
to the people Of the county oil their valu-
able records and evidences of title. No
certain clue has yet been found to the per-
petrator Of this dastardly act.

A GUY FAwKEs PLOT IN KENTUCKY
The War Department has received let
ter from Breckenridge county, KY, giving
an account of most horrible outrage at
tempted upon the inmates and friends OF
one of the largest colored schools in that
county. It appears that teacher pro-
posed to have concert and exhibition on
Christmas eve. She was warned that it
could not be permitted, but refused to be-
lieve that the rebels would carry their
threat into execution, and went on with
her preparations. The exhibition was
finally held in one of the colored churches,
which was packed with the friends of the
school and children. Within few mi
nutes after the exercises closed, but not
until the people had left, the church was
blown to pieces by the explosion OF keg
of powder that had been placed under the
platform on which the children were seat
ed, and probably touched off with slow
match. An explosion during the exhibit
ton would probably have destroyed the
entire audience.-W Washington Correspond

Presentation TO the President.

WASHINGTON, January ga gold me-
dial, valued at $500, was presented to the
President to-day by committee from
Philadelphia. 1t bears an excellent like
ness of the President, with the date OF his
birth and Inauguration as President. On
the reverse is the inscription With
courage and fidelity he defended the Con-
stitution, and by justice and magnanimity
restored the alienated States" The pre-
sentation was made by Colonel Hagner.
The President responded, returning his
thanks to the Club, and trusting that their
confidence in him had not been misplaced.
Hs concluded by saying that his future
course should be like his past in his efforts
to maintain and uphold the Constitution,
and assuring the committee that the pre-
sentation was peculiarly gratifying to MIN
at this time, and that he would cherish the
gift until the last hour of his life. Ihe
President then took each member OF the
committee by the hand, and some time
was spent in conversation before they
withdrew.
