THE SCENES OF THE SoUTH REPEAT
ED IN NEW ENGLAND
Connecticut, was the scene of fear
full crime on Friday last. A negro,
suspected of being one who had just
been let out of Jail in Danbury,
called at the house Of Mr.. Wild
man, in Brookfield, and finding no
one ut home but Mrs. Wildman,
seized her and attempted to violate
her person. The house being at
some distance from her neighbors, it
was some time before her screams for
help could be heard. At last q wo-
man heard them and proceeded to
the house, when she was met ut the
door by the demon and struck sense
less by large stone. He then re-
turned to his victim, and after a
severe struggle, in which he checked
her until the blood came from her
eyes, ears and nose, he accomplished
his hellish purpose and decamped.
The woman who went to the assist
apce of Mrs. Wildman, having re-
covered, gave the alarm and very
soon a crowd of excited neighbors
were gathered and the woods and
country searched. The negro was
seen. but managed to escape. Mrs.
Wlldman, who was enciente, fingered
for six hours. A reward of 81, 900
was offered for the wretch, alive, and
If he had been captured right away,
summary punishment would have
been meted out to him by the infuri-
ated towns-people.

MIR. EDTToR: Some Of the mongrel
patriots Of this locality have been
enjoying quite 0 streak Of glory over
the result of the Vermont election!
One enthusiastic individual even
went'so fal,SI bsl:ess. as to offer, in
the Janney's Hall assemblage, reso-
lutions of congratulation to the YER
mont mongrels for their glorious vic
tory. Now, let US look q moment at
the figures in the case, as compared
with previous elections in that State,
and see how much they have to be
proud of in the result of the recent
election. In;the gubernatorial elec-
tion, two years ago, the mongrel can
didate received "a, lit votes; in the
recent election the candidate of that
party received 40, ,93S votes, a gain of
6,871 votes, or 20 per cent. on the
vote given in 1866. In the election
of 1866, the Democracy gave their
candidate II, 292 votes; in the recent
election the Democratic candidate
received Il, ,02s votes, OF q per cent.
on the vote of 1866. There is some
thing to rejoice over, is there not?
But the full strength of the victory
gained by the mongrels. in the late
election, is not yet revealed. In
order to make it appear to better ad-
vantage, let us look at another set of
figures. In the last Presidential
election Vermont gave Lincoln
42,419 votes, while the Democracy of
that State gave Mcclellan 1921
votes, leaving Lincoln q majority of
29,098; in the recent election the
mongrel vote is 1, 431 less than it was
IN 1854 1854, wwiiiiie the Democratic vote is
702 more than it was in 1864, and the
mongrel majority 2, 1888 less than in
1864. Those who can see cause for
mongrel exultation in these figures
must be possessed OF very keen
vision. IF the mongrel party con-
tinue to gain in this way, where will
Grant and Colfax be in November?

delayed by the disarrangement of
some of the harness, and the young

Some negro women, who were stand

"they (the Young ladies) ought to
get their necks broken, and they
were going to their own funerals, If
they did but know it."

HoMIOIDE.-We have to record nm
unfortunate homicide, which occur
red in this town on Thursday, the Sd
inst, about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. A young man, by the name
of w. II. Eichelberger, living some
six miles in the country, came into
town very much intoxicated and
almost demented with brandy. In
the store of Mr.. John Kyle, an alter
cation ensued between Eichelberger
and Tabby Simpson, freedman,
when Eichelberger used q pistol and
inflicted three or four wounds on the
latter, from which he died in about
half an hour. Eichelberger made
his escape and is still at large-sup-
posed to have left the State.
Coroner John Nabers held an in
quest, the verdict charging Eichel-
berger rs the murderer. If he
should be arrested, the affair will un-
dergo judicial investigation, and we,
therefore, forbear comment upon the
facts as we have heard them.
Though the matter is deeply re-
gretted by the entire community,
little excitement followed, as the sud
denpess of the affair precludes auy
conclusion Of premeditation or
malice on the part of either of the
unfortunate parties.

POLAND "A letter to Forney's
Chronicle, dated Brussels, August "a,
says: E
N"Ihe accounts from Russia about
the acts of severity committed
against individuals and nationalities
subject to Muscovite rule are daily
becoming more shocking. The
Poles have, for many years. been the
principal sufferers from Russian
cruelty; one privilege after another
has been taken from them-their in
dependence, their nationality, the
name of their home-and late de-
cree, issued by the Governor of Lit
thua, goes so far as to forbid the use
of the Polish language, not only in
public but also in private intercourse.
A heavy fine is imposed on every
person caught using the Polish idiom
otherwise than between husband and
wife, or parent and child, when alone.
AS soon as servants or visitors enter
the room, the Russian language must
be used, or total silence observed.
This is specimen of Russian pro
gress. What do their American
friends say to the development of
liberty in Russia2" = .'S'y

at Russia. They are asguilty of out

SNaULAR INCIDENT. In a recent
speech, at Buffalo, N. Y, Hon. John
T. Hoffman declared that "the day
of hesword is passed. and related
tile following:
'sAn incident occurred at the meet
ing of the National Convention
which was an omen. That grand
hall where the Convention met was
full of patriotic men. Upon its walls
were placed the shields of thirty
seven States, and around every shield
was the American flag. Upon the
platform stood two bronze statuettes
of noble soldiers, one leaning upon o
great bronze sword. The Conven-
ton had been in session for several
days; ballot after ballot had been
taken. First one was up and then
another, and at last o gallant gene
raj, whose name has never been men
toned anywhere save with respect
1 mean Gen. Hancock. No man
knew whether on the next ballot he
was or was not to be chosen. Every
thing was uncertain, when suddenly
the great bronzed sword in the hand
OF that noble statue snapped asunder
at the hilt. 1t was not touched by
mortal hands-no human agency
broke it. Some mysterious, invisi-
bic and Irresistible power snapped it
at the hilt, and the word went forth
that, the country was henceforth to
have q statesman and not a soldier
for o leader. Tremendous cheer
ing.] ~ --..-L-.--. -s.-..--..
During the sessions of the Con-
vention Mr. Hoffman sat on the
stand. and doubtless knows the truth
of his statement. We saw the
statuettes, but we heard nothing of
this incident. tit

Blood, Blood, Out I Saw"

CLEANSE out these perilous spots, pim-
~ pies, corrupt sores, which pollute the
life of the blood, and render your body
loathesome thing. They are the precur-
o much more formidable shape if allowed
to 60 on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
a positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from vitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
veutor of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH Is FREE FROM DIS
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak ,Stomaohs, Diseased
Livers, Crippled Rheumatics. Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims Of
Headache, 30 common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, EXauthcmG or Elevure, a rash or
eruption on females; Blotches, Tctter,
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c.
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
tahe paii VI eAtracI OaTsaparlNii, anu
still you will not be cured; and, as proof
of it, look around and yon will observe tho
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
more evidence of irnpurity of tho blood
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillss are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is new compound.
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patronized by tho
highest dignitarics of the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 5000 cases have been treated go sue
cessfully as to cnttle it to be the wonder
OF the age.
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss of appetite, restlesness, want of vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-

a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and whiskey tonics of the day,
and if you value your life and health u

Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if you want to be

May to April.

The following delicate little poem, by
Philip Freneau, was published in q volume
OF his writings in IoUo:
Without your showers
breed no flowers,
Each field barren waste appears;
II you don't weep,
My blossoms sleep,
They take such pleasure in your tears.
AS your decay
Made room for May,
must part with all that's mine;
My balmy breeze,
My blooming trees,
torrid suns their sweets resign.
p For April dead
My shades 1 spread,
To her owe my dress so gay;
or daughters three
1t falls on me
To close our triumphs in one day.
Thus to repose
All nature goes;
Month after month must find its doom;
Time on the wing
May ends the spring,
And summer frolics DER her tomb.
