OH the same train, saw her father get on
the cars, but avoiding him she reached
the house some minutes before her
father, and notified her mother. Both
mother and daughter started to leave
the house, but were met near the door
by Dorsey, who, without further warn
ing, commenced to pound and beat his
wife over the head with a club. From
the hideous appearance of the remains
it is probable that he continued to beat
her long after life had departed. He
then dragged her back into the house,
took S54 from her person. and leaving
her remains near bed, stupcfied him
self with liquor, and laid down near
her. The daughter escaped and notified
the neighbors, and Dorsey was taken
TO jail He exhibited the most stold
Indifference az to what he had done,
and cares little for his future fate.

The story of the discovery of an i'm
mense gold nugget in Australia is thus
related by a Melbourne correspondent
of the New York Hcro,d
Two men had been working fora long
time in claim at Dunolly, where a
year or so ago they had found couple
of nuggets weighing "cspC lively los
and 30 ounces. They had again got
dead broke;' the storekeepers had re-
fused them any further ere dit, and they
were feeling very badly indeed, when
one of them, followin: the claim by
working round the roots of tree,
struck something hard with his pick
Immediately below the siirfac. He
had no iuea, however, What had
stopped his pick, for, miner-like. he
grumbled out, 'Confound it, | wish it
was a nugget and had broken the
pick" The nugget when it was un-
earthcd, was found TO weigh 210 pounds
troy, and on smelling, it yielded $3.50
ounces and 10 pcnnyweights of pure
gold. 1t was scarcely covered by the
earth, and was less than couple OF
inches below the surface Dunolly, the
ground on which this golden monster
has been found, is very old Dig. ing,
uut HAS never Dccl TeSdfueu az ilr5t-
class field. Every now and then bic
nugget has been found, but whatever
gold has been obtain ,d has been discov-
cred in pockets. The 'Wcicome
stranger" is the largest nugget on re
cord in Australian mining annals, and
in fact, is believed to be largest mass OF
gold ever discovered. The largest mug
gets previously found in Australia were
rs follows The Welcome nugget, found
at Ballarat at depth of $50 feet and
weighing 1S4 pounds 8 ounces; the
Blanche Barlly, found at a depth of 10
feet, at Kingowe', and weighing 145
pounds on lces; a nugget at Canadian
Gully, ballarat, weighing 1874 pounds

Tne Hon. Jacob Thorn ison, of Miss
issip pi, made a speech to his neighbors
at Oxford, in that State, ON his return
from Europe. He took rather hopeful
and cheerful view of the situation. The
people Of the South had attempted by
force of arms. to set up and maintain a
separate Government, and had faiie d.
1t WAS now their duty to accept the re-
suit of that failure in good faith to
struggle with a hearty good will to build
up the waste places, and thus secure
prosperity and plentr to the people.
Mr.. Thompson said:
In all ages, the God of battles has
made some curious and ineXplicable de-
cisions. But it is not for us to find out
the reasons which controlled Him. 1t
is ours only to obey the decision, be-
cause from it there is no appeal. In the
late war the power of arms decided that
we should remain one people now and
forever. The God of battles decided
the case in favor OF Union. Now the
true Christian must justify the ways OF
God to man, and, therefore, he must say
it was wisest and best that the case
should be so decided. From this posi-
ton, Il duty is devolved upon every
man. Each individual is bound to con
tribute his mite to make this people q
great people, strong, happy, and glori-
Gus.
