THE LAKE SUPERIOR SILVER MINEs.-Thc
Duluth MuursOtIan Of recon, date gives
description Of u wonderful little island on the
northern shore Of Lake Superior. From the
accounts given, 1t is among the largest and
richest deposits of silver ore over discovered
The island IL very low, aud all th" ore is
therefore below the water level. Tn" ledge Is
eight feet thick, and the ore contains 80 per
cent. of pure silver. Six men worked four
days and took ont 80, ,OOO worth of ore, and
subsequent workings have ppid at about the
snmc rates. About SlOO, 900 worth of the ore
has already been shipped Some of the ore
yields ns high as 81 per pound. The cst.
mated value of the ore that will be extracted
from this rhine the coming Winter iR about

said To- have been discovered on the main
land. Should these wonderful stories prove
To be true (aHd they have that appearance ut
present, the great mart Of silver mining will
be transferred fInm American To- English soil.
We would not, however. advise those having
rich mines tn abandon them for this new sen.
sation. The great advantage that these mines
possess over those found in the Rocky mo; IL
tains and adjacent ranges lies III the fact that
they are within reach of cheap transportation,

Almost a second Nathan Tragedy,

This morning, about half-past two,
some of the inmates of one of our
boarding houses were awakened by a
singular noise of persons being engaged
in a scuffle in an adjoining room. They
Immediately procured a light, and on
entering the room found a young gen.
tleman, the occupant of the room, sit
ting upright in bed, his shirt almost torn
from him and bloody-blood in spots on
the bed clothing and mosquito bar. He
gave incoherent replies on being ques-
toned, and al that could be ascertaiped
was that he had been attacked and had
defended himself as well as possible,
and his assailant or assailants had fed
on the approach of lights. We suppress
all names by request, as there is clue
to the perpetrators Of this dastardly
outrage. The dogs in the neighborhood
we're barking violently at the time the
wouid-be assassins made good their re-
treat. Where are our police2

KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people, and
the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave.no doubt that it is safe and re-
liable remedy for IMpURITY OF THE BLOOD,
that speaks in hig terms of its curative
properties, and give special recon-
mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners
of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty of any
of the medical colleges, and reflects great
credit upon the skill of Dr. Lawrence,
its compounder, and also puts "Koskoo ="
in the VAN of all other medicines of the
present day.-Hom the NotJolk Daily

NOrment, Miller and Bettfs In the
US. commissioners Court.

According to the announcement made
in last Fridays LEDGER, Messrs. I. 81
Norment and wv. Miller, judges of
the late election in the Sixth Ward, and
A. c. Belts, one Of the judges in the
Ninth Ward, appeared at nine o'clock
this morning for trial before U. s. Com
missioner Canning Smith, in the court
room at the Waldran Block. The charges
were made against the Messrs. Norment
and Miller by negro, at the instigation
of U. s. Marshal L. B. Eaton, who pro-
cured the warrant and placed it in the
hands Of the negro, and then served it
himself with Jealous alacrity. The
move was no doubt intended to bluff
the judges and stop the challenging Of
illegal votes, but in that respect was a
signal failure. The charges were that
the defendants violated late act of Con-
gress which guarantees the right Of vot-
ing to all classes, irrespective Of color,
previous condition or servitude. The
defendants appeared Friday morning,
but the prosecution was not ready,
so their cases were continued.
This morning they were promptly on
hand with such witnesses as they desired
to introduce. Captain Belts was repre-
sented by Mr.. Mcdowell, the partner Of
Colonel CAN'T. Mr.. Norment was repre-
scented by Albert NJ. Stephens, Esq, Col.
j. E. r. Ray and Gen. John Sale. Cap
tain Miller, being fully able to take care
of himself, represented his own case.
The United States was represented by
about one hundred negroes, who looked
as if they had lived on hope of pay and
watermelon-rind ever since election day.
To their great dismay, they were not
needed and, to the surprise of nearly all,
H. E. Hudson, Esq, United States Dis
trict Attorney, moved to dismiss the
charges against defendants, which was
done at once, and the discharged gentle
men were permitted to retire.
The truth of the business is, fairer
election never was and never can be
held, and their cases, if carried up to the
Supreme Court, would have been thrown
out. Mr.. Hudson and Commissioner
Smith acted wisely to stop the proceed
ings where they were before the testi-
mony and the facts became public. As
for Messrs. Norment, Miller and Belts,
they are brave, noble gentlemen, who
performed their duty fearlessly in the
face of intimidation, and they deserve
the thanks of the community. Their
discharge was only just.

presented on the evening referred TO forms
the outward sign or token Of a bond of union
between teacher and scholars that can never
be broken. The eye may grow dim with age,
the intellect become clouded, the limbs intirm
and refuse to fulfill their office, and the heart
finally and forever cease its pulsatlons, but
this friendship will have just begun to live
when the borders of time are reached.
