was first examined before the Grand Jury swore
that Mrs. Glen was at home all that afternoon;
afterwards corrected my testimony; knew when
testined she had left the house; my reason for
swearing In that way was that Mrs Cem requested
me 10; stated TO the Grand Jury, In my first ex-
animation, that l did not look at the clock when
Mira Clem came back; Mrs. Glenn told me to say
it was between three and four O'Clock at
the time sne returned; the shoes Mrs. Hartman

Namned In reference 10 them; In my second

Exciting scene

At The opera house in Springfield, ILL.,, a
few nights ago, the dangerous feats of
Pau, the Russian athlete, came very near
a fatal termination. He had performed on
the flying trapeze, and was to execute a
somersault in mid air, vaulting from one
swinging bar to alght on another. He
failed to reach the second bar, and fell
some eighteen or twenty feet upon q mar
row footboard, and was thence precipitated
into the parquette, among the chairs and
audience. The scene was exciting in the
highest degree, strong men rushed from
their seats and left the house, women
shrieked and children screamed. At first
it was feared that his hurts were serious
particularly when he was borne off, stunned
and nearly insensible, by two gentlemen.
After some moments of Intense anxiety the
audience were assured that his injuries
were not great, and presently relieved by
his presence again on the stage. Though
bruised, he was understood to express a
wish to complete the performance as set
down in the bills This was opposed by
the audience and by the Hanlons, and the
other parts of the show went on, while
Pau was taken to his hotel.

efforts, and manifest a disposition to help
ourselves, We couldn't expect to receive ma

illustration of the beneficial results of Or
ganizing, we need only refer to the schools
established by the Baltimore Association
of friends in three or four counties in this
State, where these schools have been in
operation only three years, and yet are
now over forty in number, and instruct
more than three thousand children, Let
US only emulate the example of these en-

onward onward Shall we suffer the great
work of education to be lost in the dark
ness of an age gone by Should we not
rather buckle on our armor, and grid our
loins for the fight, each resolving ito be
hero in the strife ?"

aid us IN rebuilding the prosperity of your
county upon sure and lasting founda.

in making your sons sources of pride and

HALIFAX, N. S., May 27.-In the House
of Assembly yesterday, Mr.. Murray, of
Picton, offered preamble and resolution
demonstrating against the treatment of
Nova Scotia by Great Britain in forcing
the union upon her !; suggesting that the
principal commercial trade OF Nova Scotia
has been always with the United States,
asking the restorationl of former in
stitutions, or else to be absolved from allie
glance to the British throne. Mr.. Vail
said he considered this an annexation doc
ument, which Murray denied. Mr.. Watkins
agreed with the preamble, but objected to
the resolution because he thought any ap-
peal to England at this time would be use
less. The resolution was seconded and will
be debated on Tuesday next.

In commenting nationally upon the
alleged outrages in Georgia, the New York
Times says, truly: " What is first wanted
is trustworthy statement of facts with
regard to the nature and amount OF crime
in Georgia The Augusta dispatch pub
lished yesterday shows that little reliance
should be placed upon statements tracing
grave offences to political causes. A SEN
sation story, embracing two murders, Is
now declared by it's author to have been
written under transformation. 1t is quite
possible that careful investigation will show
other and similar narratives to be equally
UNRELIABLE The murder of DR.. Adkins is
now attributed to disgracef3l life rather
than to politics and the man Fay, who
tried to kill colored mistress, and sue
ceeded in killing himself, is another illus
.ration of the personal worthlessness of
those who pander to partisan appetite"
