PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-This morn
ing the case of Michael Fitzgerald,
brought here from New York on a re
quistition, and charged with illegal vot-
ing, was called. The defendant failed to
answer. The bail entered into on Satur-
day was ceclared forfeited. Mr.. Mann,
who represented the prosecution, stated
that when the application for contiDu
ance on Friday was made he feared this
result, the flight of the defendant He
did not believe at the time that there was
any sincerity in the application, and did
not believe any effort had been made to
secure the attendance of witnesses, whose
absence was the ground Of a continuance
on Friday. Now is the bail sued out and
the money secured, there will be another
effort to obtain the man for trial. Judge
Pierce directed the bail to be sued out
at once.

Two politicians of Indianapolis made
an agreement that if Seymour was elect
ed President, J-M-was to take a wife
ia six weeks or forfeit $500, and if Grant
was elected C-W-was to do the same.
The gentlemen are both ''old bachelors" :"
and the question with the loser now is a
pecuniary one, whether $500 paid out
and no marriage won't in the long run,
be better investment than a marriage
with numerous $500 bills in the future.

The State of New York, outside of the
city and its suburbs, gave more than TO-.
600 Republican majority at the late elec-
ton. This was met aud overcome by a
still greater vote on the other side by the
ruling party in the city. These opposite
interests, SO strongly manifested, have Civ.
en- rise to a proposition for division Of
the State, so that the city of New York
and few of the adjoining counties may
be set apart as separate and homogene
Gus Commonwealth. AS the matter now
stands, the city rules the State, fastening
all the corruptions of tho municipal gov
ernment upon the country district, nearly
all of which are entirely distinct from it
in population aud material interests-I

almost without causing them any pain
Within the space of a few minutes four

able thing about this "killing made easy
is the fact that it leaves absolutely no out.

The Pike County Melee.

We noticed some weeks ago, the shoot
ing of Mr. Lyon, in Lehman township,
Pike County, Pa, near Goose Pond
We extract from the Milford Herald the
following additional particulars: MIR
Lyon had been attending to his daily Ia
bors, and returned 20 his home rather
late in the evening his wife, being OF q
quarrelsome disposition (aud at various
times making threats that she would put
an end to his life), again commenced to
abuse and illtreat him. After having
several words with each other, My. Lyon
retired for the night, leaving his wife
and little son six years of age, in the
Kitchen Mrs. Lyon, not satisfied with the
words they had had, went to near neigh
bor's house and procured a load of buck
shot, stating to them that there was /
deer in the swamp near the house. anc
that she wanted to shoot it. The buck
shot was given her and she returned tC
her house, nothing being mistrusted BY
the ncighbor.
Mrs. Lyon took the double Sarrelec
shot gun belonging to her husband, ant

where she found him on his back asleep
She took deliberate aim and discharged
the contents of one barrel into the heat
of her husband, shooting out both eye
and otherwise injuring him. In this con
dition he laid for two days, without an.
assistance whatever, until neigbor hap

LAFAYErTS CoLLEoE.-We took look
this morning at the new buildings now
being erected for students in the rear Of
the main College building. One ofthem
is nearly finished, while the other two
will be ready for occupation by January
next. Each of them allows two rooms
for two occupants. one for study and one
for sleeping and it is intended to have
such also the headquarters of an eating
club, dining room being provided. Be-
tween the new buildings and the Astro-
nomical Observatory the ground will be
leveled off and used for campus, while
in the rear Of them gymnaium and ten
pin alley will be erected. We learn that
work on the new wing Of the main Col
lege building will certainly be resumed
in the Spring, and that in connection
there with the building itselfwill be rough
casted or otherwise improved. Substan-
tial pathways are also to be made in every
direction. and the next Commencement

The Coal SPECULATION.-1he he recent
sudden advance in the price of coal is un-
accountable, and cannot be referred to a
deficient supply; for we learn that there
is moro than sufficient to meet i'm Mediate
demands. There is said to be Il fall force
at work in the mines. There is no in-
crease in the rates of transportation and
there is good prospect OF contiaed lib
eral yield, for some time to come. The
rise undoubtedly results from speculative
causes, aud is, to come eAt:ut, based upon
the probable necessities Of the people !;
who, it is expected, will become alarmed
at the sudden advance, and, like stock
spectators in ''bull market" will rush
in to buy, for fear that by waiting they
will have to pay more.
In our oIioion, those who are actuated
by such considerations will regret that
they did not wait for the fall, which is
sure to come, and that too before long.
