SINGULAR CasE.--Yesterday morning

SINGULAR CASE. Yesterday morning a
man, apparently about thirtY-fye years of
age, came down on the western cars, and
when the train arrived at the derot re-
fused to leave the car he was in, and acted
SO strangely that the police were sent for,
who found him speeehiess and unable to
walk. The officers took him in charge,
and carried him to police headquarters,
and DR.. Henry Latham was sent for, whose
skill, up to o late hour last night, had failed
to effect any improvement In his condition,
From papers found on his person 1t is as
contained that his name is DR.. j. P. Jones,
and that he came from Memphis, Tenn. He
had through ticket from Memphis to Balti-
more, and also had q receipt for S222.40,
which he had paid a. M. Stoddard s. Co., of
Memphis, on the 4th Of March. He had
with him only about three dollars in money !;
and gentleman who came on the same
train from Memphis, and who noticed his
singular conduct, is Of the opinion that he
had been drugged and robbed in that city
and placed on the cars, and that he is still
IN state Of ssupor from the drugs admins
tered. Late yesterday afternoon he opened
his eyes and spoke for the first time since
being carried to the police-ofice, only re-
marking that "he had his money all
right" H. thus relapsed again, and no
effort could arouse him or induce him to
answer any questions. Last night he was
sent to Jail, where he could be comfortably
provided for, and the Chief of Police tele-
graphed to Stoddard & Co. to endeavor to
ascertain who and what he is. No answer
had been received up to the time of our
going to press.-Lynctburg Ne,os Of ysster-

The PoToMAc AND OHIO RAILROAD
Wheeling, March 5.-On yesterday, the
closing day of its session, the Legislature
of West Virginia, with entire unaninity,
passed bill incorporating the Potomac and
OHIO railroad, with most liberal provisions
and authority to construct railroad from
any point on the Potomac river west of
Harper's Ferry to the Ohio river at any
point south of Parkersburg, by way of the
South Branch Valley. The parties obtain
ing this powerful charter are New York
capitalists; but as Mr.. Kercheval, of Hamp-
shire, was engineering the bill here, it is
understood it is to consolidate with the Alex
andria, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad
in part, so as to did, and probably insure
the early completion Of, that road to the coal
fields, with aid Of Washington, &C., and
extend it from the crossing of the south
branch of Potomac onward to the Ohio
river. More anon.-ObSsrrer, in A!eran-
aria Gazette.

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN MIssIssIPPI.-
Memphis, March S.-Captain Haynes, Of
the Arkansas militia, accompanied by Ser
geants Brown and Finch, Of the Metropoli-
tan police, with requisition from Governor
Clayton, of Arkansas, approved by Co.
vernon Brownlow, went to Harm Lake,
Mississippi, twelve miles below here, yes
terday, for the purpose of arrestiug Cub
Harlan, notorious Choctaw Indian, who
had fed from Arkansas. On approaching
the house, Cub, who evidently suspected
their intention, met them at the door with
o revolver in each hand, and opened fire on
the party, shooting Sergeant Finch through
the body, and causing wound from which
he has since died. Captain Haynes was
also shot twice in the groin and dangerously
wounded. Brown and Captain Haynes
were under the impression that they had
badly wounded the Indian, but later re-
ports state that he returned to his house,
where the affair occurred, last night, and
stole two horses in revenge for his supposed
betrayal. Finch was native of Ohio, and
served in the Union army.

the business. These establishments turned
out so, 100000 cigars the past year. About
fifty factories are exclusively controlled by
Americans, and about one hundred are

VANDERBILT's LAST GAME.-Competition,
they say, is the life of trade, and the best
guarantee of fair dealing. But Mr.. Van
derbilt does not believe in it. He won't
tolerate opposition in anything, if he can
help it. About two weeks ago the express
companies sending freight over the Erie
and Pennsylvania Central railroads made
arrangements to ship at lower rates than
those charged on the New York Central,
and managed to take away good deal of
business from the latter. Vanderbilt found
out what was going on, and Immediately
went to work to stop it. He made arrange
ments with the companies using his road to
ship lower than their rivals, agreeing to
make good their losses out of his own pocket.
Just before the fight began, the tariff from
New York to Chicago was Sl.SS per one
hundred pounds, and by the time it end
ed in victory for Vanderbilt the tariff
was down to rs cents. IF the rival
companies had offered to take freight
free, Vanderbilt would probably have in
structed his companies to ray merchants
for their freight instead of charging fer
carrying it. Not satisfied With breaking Up
the low freights on the Eric end Ecnn.yl-
vania Central, he insisted On these -caae
refusing to let the United States E-prcss
Company send any moro freight ~ thsir
roads, and this company is row SHIT OFT
from the principal line between New York
and Chicago. Doubtless Mr.. Vande-bilts
admirers consider this very clever feat ;
and perhaps it is. At any rate, 1t illus
trates the steady crushing of weak opposi-
ton by big capitalists which is going on
all around us. 1t may be q fine thing for
the millionaires to say they can smash any
one who sets up against them, but isn't it
rather bad for the great multitude of
people who are not millionaires !-Nes1

A YOUNG MAN MURDERED BY BIS HALF
BROTHER AT A DANCE.-We mentioned the
other day, briefly, that q brutal murder
had occurred at Jethro, trade place be-
tween Wellsville and Fest Liverpool. We
now have the following particulars: James
Hartley Snyder and his balf-brother, Will
liam futile, attended dance OF the above
named place on Thursday evening of last
week. Everything seemed to be going off
in fine glee until Snyder solicited the hand
the time on the floor with futile. She told
him she could not dance with him then, but
would the next set. When the dancers were
again formed on the floor she was still the
partner of futile. After the quadrille had
ended, and the ladies seated, Tuttle and
several other gentlemen stepped outside the
building, and were engaged in converse
ton, when Snyder came out and told his
brother that he had been insulted, and was
going home. His brother replied that he
was drunk, and had better 60. This exas-
perated Snyder, and several severe cpl
thets were exchanged between them, when
he suddenly drew Bowie knife, and be-
fore his object could be thwarted, leaped
upon futile and plunged the knife into his
neck three times, completely severing the
liugular vein. futile attempted to escape
by getting over fence close by, but fell,
and in a few moments afterward was found
corpse. The brothers resided in West
Virginia, and came over the river to Liver
pool together early in the day, and had
been indulging in drink freely up to the
time of going to the dance. Snyder is now
lodged in Jail at New Lisbon. He is labor
ing under great grief in consequence of
his rashness, and says the authorities may
do with him as speedily as possible, so that
the thoughts of the terrible deed may be
obliterated from his memory. He is about
nineteen years of age, and his victim was
aged about twenty four Cleveland (Ohio)

for recreation and partly to pay visit to

health he receives very gratifying reports
Mr.. Seward is unreseryed and emphatic IN
expressing his approval Of the Cabinet
selected by General Grant, and his predic'
tons Of the entire success Of his admins

The POPE AND HIS SUcCEssoR.-A report
is in circulation, especially in France, that
Pope Plus *, foreseeing that his reign is
drawing towards its conclusion, although
he certainly cannot complain of his present
state of health, and DESTROYS that his apos-
tolic chair shall be filed after his demise
by worthy successor, intends to propose
to the ensuing General Council to ordain
that in future the Sovereign Pontiffs shall,
during their lifetime, nominate their sue
cessors. two or three in number, from
among whom the Conclave shall decide,
without delay, on the Pontifcal throne be-
coming vacant. It is very easily to be
imagined that Pin Mono, after such a long
and eventful pontifcate, does not relish the
iden of his throne being occupied by such
successor as Cardinal d'Andrea would
have been had he lived and been elected ;
and it is known that in case his proposition
is adopted by the General Council he will
nominate as the trio of Cardinals to select
from the very eminent Patrizi, Barnabo,
and Panebisnco. = Rome Correspondence

The character Of B. 8. Highly was unani-

DR.. McFerrin addressed the Conference
on the subject Of domestic missions, spoke
Of the cheering progress Of the southern
church made in Baltimore and Virginia
during the past two years, referring to the
period, and that the prospect for southern
Methodism was brighter than ever before,
as it was spreading northward and west
ward with rapidity. He had no objection
to the missionary enterprises of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in the South; would
be glad to hear that souls we're being con-
verted through their fundamentally, but
remarked they could draw no more mem
bers from the southern church condemned
severely all political preachers or preach
ing, and bid the Conference God-speed.
Report on education, as far as reference
was had to Randolph Macon College, was
called up, when Rev. DR.. Duncan, president
of the college, addressed the Conference,
remarking that his relation to said college
was an ecclesiastical one, and that success
in the church depended on power from on
high. This power was two-fold-spiritual
and intellectual. If the spiritual was alone
looked after, it would lead to fanaticism,
extravagance, bigotry, &C.. if the intellect
ual alone, it would tend to skepticism, ra-
tionalism, humanitarianism SC. but COM
bine the two, and we would have wisdom
and power from God. The Lord qualified
the Apostles by the gift Of tongues and in
tellectual power after the pentecostal bap-
tism. This combination overcame the hea-
then world, and the failure to attend to the
intellectual after the gift of tongues and
miraculous power ceased, was the chief
cause of that decline in the church until
the lowest depth was reached in the dark
ages. John Wesley had both spiritual and
intellectual power, and to save the people
from fanaticisra on the one hand and skep-
ticism on the other, the ministry must be
educated for their work, SC. He asked for
the prayers of the church for the success of
the college, and gave some statistics as to its
present patronage and future prospects,
spoke of the iberality Of Baltimore gen.
tleman who gave him check for 5000 to
pay the way Of two young men studying for
the ministry at the college, and gave gen.
ersl invitation to all the members to visit
Ashland. Adjourned.
