The inner crust of something very much

odor was first emitted, followed by a
dense volume of smoke. According to
the Germans statement, the stencil was
several degrees above the flavor OF the
Illinois street gutter. A sheet OF flame
soon burst from this terrible volcano,
and a great conAagration was imminent
for a time, but the flames were finally
subdued by fey shoveltuls of earth tos-
sed in the mouth of the crater. The lava
thrown out looked very much like Cas-
tile soap-only it was not so highly per-

A Strange and startling story.
ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF YOUNG LADY
PHILADELPHIA.

ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A YOUNG LADY IN
PHILADELPHIA.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph, writing under
date of November Sth, tells the following
singular and startling story
A sad story has come to my knowledge
but one eminently characteristic of city life
Some time since young and beautiful lady
residing at Norristown, being about to be
married to young man who was approved
by her family and whom she is supposed to
have loved, came to Philadelphia with her
sister to purchase her bridal outfit She
had completed her visit and returned to the
house where they were stopping prior to
going back home, when she left her sister
and stepped out for few moments to buy
some little trifle she said she had forgotten.
From that time she was not seen nor heard
of for many weeks, and her family was in
the greatest alarm for her safety. AT tlcngth
a colored man went to n friend of the family
and offered, for q reward, to tell where she
was, which, after some delay, was agreed
to, and 1t appeared that the poor girl had
been kidnapped and taken to splendid
mansion long distance from the city where
she was detained against her will. l have
the name of the wealthy owner of the man
sion, but the story is kept 50 close and the
name stands so high that do not feel like
assuming the responsibility of tellingit. Old
policemen say that such things are of con-
slant occurrence, and they add that many
persons who disappear in this way are never
heard of again. give you this story as il
comes to me, under circumstances that
seem to warrant the authenticity OF the de-
tails. The distress of the family may be
family imagined. Nothing is easier than to
lure an unsuspecting woman into some con,
veyance by pretended message from o
relative or friend in sickness or distress
The worst of it is that our public hacks are
not conspicuously numbered as they should
be, and therefore it is difficult to identify
such carriage in case of need.

REPORT OF THE F'REEDMANis SCHOOLS
The eighth semi-annual report of ]. w. AL
word, general superintendent of schools
among refugees and freedmen, for the six
months ending July |, 1869, has been just
issued. In regard to Maryland, Delaware,
West Virginia, and the District Of Columbia,
he says:
Maryland is well advanced in the work.
The cities and large towns have excellent
schools, and constantly improving, public
sentiment, as time advances and results are
seen, turning in their favor. most hcarii-
ly recommend that it be our great work 10
aid the societies to open rs many schools as
possible in Maryland and Delaware during
the coming year. In Delaware and part OF
Maryland the society and bureau agents to-
getheract aspioneers In getting upthe school
houses and starting the schools. On what
is called the western shore OF MARYLAND the
bureau has acted alone. From West Nir-
ginia it is supposed that bureau aid can be
wholly withdrawn.
The people in the towns, as well in the
farming districts, are comparatively thrifty.
and the State has an impartial school law,
in general well administered at leas, px.
ceptions to such administration are rapidly
passing away. Harper's Ferry and Martins
burg are the only places In West Virginia
where socities have sent teachers. Money
from the i" Peabody Fund" has been given
in aid of the public schools of this State, col
ored schools being among the number.
In Washington city and District the ex-
pertinent of Incorporating the schools into
the public system has been quite successful.
and we consider the work of the bureau
here as substantially finished, only still con-
tinuing its deep interest in their welfare.

ry, 1868, was s5 number OF scholers 4,67s
while in January, 1869, the whole number

Farmers are exempt from special tax when
selling their produce at the place of production,

A Duel in Wilmington.

TWO GENTLEMEN PROPOSE TO FIGHT WITH
SMALL SWORDS KNEE TO KNEE-A BLOODY
AFFAIR THAT DID NOT COME OFF.
We are perhaps telling no news IN relating the
story of the recent duel that did not come of in
Wilmington, and as the parties to the affair have
all acted in highly distinguished manner, they
will pardon us for jotting down some record of
the method by which they have conferred on us
our latest sensation.
Know then, that as of yore, gallant Knights
made battle for the smiles of fair ladies, there
arc still the remnants of chivalric ardor among
our people. In this case were two young gentle
men, and both were not equally smiled upon-as
indeed, 1t was not just that they should be. Con-
sequently desire for revenge feverish thirst
for blood, flowed in the breast of one, and usurp-
ed the place where so lately had bloomed the
flower OF love.
Hence, there came challenge. Blood alone,
could appcase the injured feelings of the sender.
The recipient. peaceful. as we all know him to
be- and devoted to repairing, rather than destroy
Ing, the human form divine was thunderstruck
ut the missiye. He declined any such meeting,
and offered to make whatever explanations should
be deemed appropriate and necessary. But he
was assured that this was not q case susceptible
Of explanation, that no apology could remedy
| the harm, aud a meeting upon the field OF honor
| must ensue. Consequently, like man OF cour-
| age, the recipient OF the challenge accepted it,
and named his fiend to arrange the little details
/ OF the method ny WINCH tnlS sanSulnary aftalr
should proceed 10 its appropriate issue.
The two seconds, both OF whom were properly
devoted to tue interests of their respective
friends, met, and, like practical men, bent on
serious business, arranged a very practical pro-
gramme. The principals in the duel were to be
| securely bound, knee to knee, and 10 fight with
small swords, until ut least one should be mortal
| y injured.
Having thus arranged it, we regret to state that
so excellent plan entirely failed. The principals
disapproved it, and arranged the matter by an
apology from the original challenger, thus de-
priyiug the affair of the great, indeed, we might
say national Importance, which 1t would have
| assumed had one or both of the parties, after
gallantly fighting in so spirited and novel a man
ntr bravelv perlshed beneath the ensanguined
| weapon OF the other.
| However, so the affair ended, or SO OF least it
now stands, though VIC hear that Attorney Gen.

law, may lay all the facts, in a comprehensive
| indictment, before the Grand Jury. If this should
prove true, tho case may yet be serious one, for

Iowa is magnificent State. The surface
of her territory is not fiat, like that of Hi
nois, but gently undulating or rolling, so
that her crops are never destroyed by stand
ing water. She is growing with giant strides,
but her great need is more railroads. Mas
sachusetts has mile of Railroad for every
five miles of area, New Jersey one for every
eight miles, and the older Western States one
for every fifteen miles, but Iowa has but one
mile for every thirty-nine. She has thirty
five million acres of deep rich loan, of
which nine-tenths are ready for the plow,
but of which less than five millions are now
under cultivation. The farmer must have
railroad to take his crops to market, and
those which are already built are not only
making the fortunes of the farmers and the
State, but are doing profitable business for
themselves. A party of eastern gentlemen
just returned from an examination Of the
condition of western roads, report that there
is not one in the Northwest which is not
only paying the interest on lis bonded debt.
but dividend on its srock. They Obtain
their success from. the enormous freights Of
grain and other agricultural products which
must be shipped TO distant markets, and the
return of articles of home consumption.
Among the great works now in progress
in Iowa is the Central Railroad, which is to
connect st. Louis and st. Paul. 1t runs
through the finest and most thickly settled
portion of the State, which gives 1t an i'm
mediate and profitable traffic, and its builders
and Directors are gentlemen of wealth and
high reputation. The Company have al
ready finished 45 miles, and have 60 miles
more graded for the iron. They issue First
Mortgage Z per cent. Gold Bonds at the rate
OF $4,000 to the mile, secured by decd Of
trust to the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany of New York, which they offer at 95,
free of Government tax. The Company re-
port that the portion of the road now open
for business is earning more than the inter
est liabilities upon it, and that these earnings
will be more than doubled as the line pro-
crosses. AS several presidents of the lead
ing banks in New York, and elsewhere, are
united with other capitalists in the enter
prise, and have already expended million
and half of dollars, we can see no reason
why its securities should not rank with the
best. The country along its line is superb,
and is already producing heavy crops which
give to every additional completed mile
large and profitable business, and secure
the prompt payment of interest.
Experience shows that our rst-class rail-
road mortgages are always good, and none
have proved better than upon the Iowa
lines. The production there is now so
great, and is increasing SO rapidly, that her
railroad properties take the very highest
rank with the prudent investor.
The advertisement of these bonds will be
found in another column, and the agents will
be pleased to give full information.
