A Singular Case.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg C0Urier writes The chief
topic of the town now is the outrageous
treatment OF their neice, Miss Mollie Ste
yens, by Mr.. Liva Lafond and his wife.
The accused have been arrested on a
charge of gross cruelty toward the un,
fortunate young lady whom they had in
their power The matter has been much
talked Of for several weeks in that part
Of the city where Lafond lives The
neighbors have observed how Miss Ste
vens Was beaten, starved, imprisoned and
otherwise iniamously dealt with She
has had no sufficient or decent clothing
and she has been kept in most filth
condition, so as to deter her from ventur-
ing abroad should she get out Of her lock-
room.
AT the windows Of this room she has
often stood, piteously begging every one
who came in hearing for bread.
On Sunday last, her cries becoming
heart,rending, the neighbors again in
vaded the premises, and caught Lafond
himself, armed with paddle bored full
Of holes, and beating her pitlessly.
She is "a skeleton, bruised and scared
from head to foot scarcely able to walk
alone, and almost an idiot from her
sullerings. Clothes had to be given her
to cover her before she could be brought
into the police court. The examination
IF Lalond and his wife is postponed, and
Miss Stevens has been placed in charge
Of family that will take good care Of
her. Her guardian and brother, who
live in an adjoining county, have been
sent for, All the parties are said to be
respectable and Of good family, and the
guardian Of Miss Stevens pays Aafond
a liberal monthly allowance Tor her board
and clothing.

A Curious Accident.

The Scranton HcpHOt'caH is response
bic for the following:
" An accident OF curious character
occurred to an old gentleman named Pet
tebone. who carries the mail between
Wilkesbalre and Lake post-oGice, on
Thursday last. About four miles from
Wilkesbarre, on the road to Haryey's
Lake, Mr.. Pcttcboue attempted to pass
one Of the wagons Of the G.. A. II. EX-
cursion, and the road being very narrow
he drove horse, wagon and all over an
embaukment into ravine Of stumps,
rocks, and brush The members Of the
Grand Army Immediately rushed to the
rescue, and in Il few minutes had raised
the wagon and horse, to neither Of which
any damage IVES perceptible. The old
man was more unfortunate, and was bleed
ing proiusely from the face. Two medi~
cal gentlemen III the party made an eX-
animation, ana found that the oul y injury
he had received WAS on the nose. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. pettebone was afflicted
with cancer on the nose, and on falling
struck his nasal organ in such manner
as to cut the cancer clean off. The nose
was put into as good shape as possible by
the two doctors, and if the cancer does
not again make its appearance the acci-
dent will prove to have been blessing in
disguise.

The " Pain-Killer,"

The foreign and domestic demand for Perry Da-
Wis a. Sons great medicine--the Pain Ker-was
never before so large it has been of late land we
think the time has arrived when the declaration
may be made without the possibility of refutation
that the city of Providence in the State of Rhode
Island, of the United States of America, has fur
nshed the habtable globe with medicine, which,
in point Of universally of demand extent of use
funess, complete efficiency for all the purposes for
which it is designed and widespread, enduring
popularity, has never been equalled by any medi-
cine in Europe or America.
The un.rerSdlity Of the demand for the Pain
Killer, is a novel; interesting, and surprising fea-
ture in the historyo this medicine. Its fame has
gone OUT into every quarter of the habitable
globe The Pain Killer is now regularly sold IN
large and SteddiLy Increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory oil
the Union and every Prouince of British America,
but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chill
and other South American States to the sandwich
Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to
Mozambique. Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands; to Australia and Calcutta Rangoon
and other places in India. 1t has also been sent to
China and we doubt if there is any foreign port or
inland city in Africa ol Asia, which is frequented
by American and European missionaries, travellers
or traders, into which the Pain Killer has not been
introduced and been sought after
The eTtent Of its usefulness is another great fea-
ture of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not only
the best thing ever known, as everybody will con-
fess for bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but for dysen-
terry or cholera or any sort of bowel complaint it
is remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidi-
ty Of action. In the great cities OF British India,
and in the West India Islands and other hot eli
mates it has become the standard medicine for all
suOh complaints, as well as for dyspepsia, liver
complaints and other kindred disorders For
coughs and colds, cankcr, asthma and rheumatic
difficulties, it has been proved by the most abund-
ant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an
invaluable medicine. The prOprietorS ale in pos

Fall Of n Meteor.

A letter from Freedom, Missouri,
gives an account of recent fall Of me-
teor near that place, The substance Of
the letter is that on the 9th Of July, the
family of Joseph Younge were startled
by the appearance Of IL column Of flame
in the air, which extended many hundred
feet upward to point, and rapidly ap-
preaching the earth. 1t was attended
with a rushing noise which became al
most deatening as it drew near, and en-
ded with report like the loudest thun-
der. From the commencement Of the
light until the report, was scarcely more
than IA second Soon after the occurrence
at distance Of some two hundred yards
from MIR. Younge's house, was found a
body. of metallic characteristics and il
regular form. From It's position and the
appearance of the ground it must have
fallen from the south. Its weight is
about as much AS Il man can readily lift.
Its color is dark brown, almost black
and in one spot it shows a metallic tint.
When struck with hammer it gives II
sonorous ring and indicates a good de
gree of elasticity. 1t also bears evidence
of having been subjected to intense heat
This strange visitor from the regions OF
the air is attracting much attention in
the neighborhood.

The Needle Gun.

At the present time, description of
the needle gun. upon which weapon the
Prussans depend, may be interesting
to our readers.
This celebrated gun is a breech-load-
ing, single barrelled non-revolving rifle.
With movement of an apparent trig
ger, section of the top of the barrel
slides back far enough to admit the cart
ridge to be placed in the cavity of the
barrel, which is done by the gunner, with
his left hand, without removing the piece
from his shoulder, or, necessarily, losing
his aim. Another movement restores
the section Of the top Of the barrel to its
place, and firmly fastens it, ready at the
instant for firing. 1t can be fired, there
fore, twelve times in minute, until the
barrel is too hot to admit Of the introduc-
ton Of the cartridge, and this is not easily
done, as the cartridge iguites by friction
only, and not by mere heat and the
time it remains in the chamber before
being fired is but an instant. Behind
the cartridge, as 1t lies when the gun is
loaded, is the air-chamber, about two
and halfinches in length, through which
the needle darts forward to pierce the
charge. The cartridge is made up with
the ball resting directly against the pow
der without wadding and in the rear
of the powder is percussion substance
which is ignited by the piercing Of the
needle, when the trigger is pulled

Fatal Accident.

An accident happened at Profit Island
about four miles below Port Hudson
on the Mississippi, last week. There are
on the island quite number OF those
deadly missiles which were known during
the war as lamp-posts, and which were
probably thrown there from the gun-boats.
One of them l50-pound shell, number
Of men and boys took it into their heads
to investigate, drilling at the vent with u
steel hatchet and chisel. The result was
that the she'll exploded killing outright two
men and two boys, and wounding another
boy. The four persons killed We're lit
terally torn to atoms, being an undis-
tinguishable mass OF human flesh.

Desperate Attempt at Robbery.

A desperate attempt to rob Mr.. Brown
ing, Teller OF the First National Bank Of
Fishkill village, was made at Cold spring
N. Y, on last Wednesday. MIR. Brown
ing was standing in front Of a store, near
the depot, waiting for the up-train, and
had in his hand carpet bag containing
several thousand dollars. collected for de-
posit in his bank. Suddenly man walk
ed up to him, and, throwing handful Of
red pepper in his eyes, seized the satchel
and run into Mr.. Munsells grounds, near
the depot, where Mr. Munsell's coachman
seized him and threw him to the ground
and recaptured the satchel.
The thief then drew revolver and
fired three shots at the coachman, one of
which took effect in the latters abdomen
mortally wounding him. Citizens at
once seized the thief and handed him
over to the sheriff, who took him to Car
mel Jail The thief gives his namo as
John Smith, and says he resides in New
York. Mr. Brownings eyes were badly

War News.

At the seat Of war, affairs still remain
in about the same condition as at our last
report There have been several slight
skirmishes, but nothing Of importance has
yet taken place, Both parties are getting
ready for the conflict by massiog troops
and collecting materials, and when the
shock does come, (Which may not be for
some days. it will undoubtedly BE one of

far, both France and Prussia are acting
on the defensive, as neither nation is alto
