A WoULD-BE MURDERBR.-On Sunday
morning, as the steamer Cumberland
was approaching Elizabeth-town, Will
lam Clarke, the mate, rose from the table,
went upon the roof of tho texas, where
three Of the crew were engaged in wash
ing the boat, and, without passing a
word, seized one of the hands and hurled
him to the hurricane deck with such
force as to mash the deck and break the
carlins, but happily without inficting
any serious injury upon his victim.-
With the AK he attacked another of the
hands, attempting to chop off his head,
but Jim Mathcny, the pilot, interfered,
and caught his arm. He tken hurled the
ox at another dcck-hand, striking him
on the back, inficting a slight injury
Captain Benjamin Howard, who was be-
low at the time, hearing the noiso, rushed
to the hurricane deck in time to see the
last scene in the attempted tragedy, and
immediately directed the pilot to land
lie then ordered the mate to 20 to the
office, get his money and 60 ashore. The
mate demurrod, but Captain Ben. was
firm, paid him off and "banked' him
then and there. The mate was sober at
the time, and no one can account for his
desperate conduct. Clarke is from St.
Louis, and is represented as desperate
man, having killed man, it is said, in
st. Louis.

DAVENPORT AND SCOTT COUNTY ELECTION.
Some days ago we stated that Davenport
and Scott county had gone back on the
"poople's party'-but this statement was
only partly correct. The peoples party tick.
ct for township officers was elected. The
majority in the county, for Grant, was $40,
and Lila in the manipulating arepub,
lican majority of 1876 in the couaty, outside
of Davenport township. On some of the
candidates the majority was much less than
this Smyth beat LetingwelI only 80 in the
township, and $50 in the county. Brannon
ldem) for judge, had 296 majority in the
township and was only beaten II in the
county. Nc Cortney (dem) for coroner,
had l07 majority in the township, but was
beaten ia in the county. Winans peoples
party for senator, had 2O9 majority in the
township out was beaten 200 in the county.
The Democrat says:
In Davenport township the peoples ticket was
elected throughout, and A. q. Smalliedi il clerk,
even ii cur neighbors do refuse to acknowledge
the fact The peoples party gain in the board
Of supervisors. Last year the republicans had u
majority Of one, and this year it is the reverse,
the peoples party have majority Of one.

New FAMILY JoURNAL.--In this age Of
cheap periodicals when literary papers are
taking the place of books and the presses
are grooming under the weight of serial sen.
sational trash, it is pleasant to hear that an
exquisite literary journal is now to be issued
with such promise of wealth as the names of
Donald &. Mitchell Tx. Maryel) and Mrs.
II. B. Stowe contain, in its editorial corps.
1t /, to be issued by S. NJ. Pettengill & Co,
the enterprising advertising firm, and is to
bear the tide Of Hearth and Home \
large corps Of associate editors in their spe.
ciai departments have been enlisted in sup.
port of the enterprise. No labor and ex-
pcnae will deter them from making it the
first magazine in the land. We are glad to
learn that it is not to interfere with the
