'nounced worthless, and the first iron manu-
ffactured from Lake Superior ore was at an old

At Fredonia, Crawford county, Indiana, a
few days ago, the little daughter of Daniel
Duffin, aged three years, while playing near
the door of its parents, was seized by yora-
oious hog and dragged off to several other hogs,
who commenced tearing it to pieces. The
endeavors made by the mother of the child to
rescue it were unsuccessful, but some men pas
sing finally rescued it. Not shred of clothing
was left on its body, and several places great
chunks OF flesh were literally torn out, leaving
deep gaping wounds. There were twenty
two frightful cuts and bites on the child's per-
son. After lingering several days, the child
died
The reports Of the massacre in Peking is
confirmed, though we have no particulars as
! yet. But this is noticeable, that only the
French suffered The reason of this is not
any hatred of their religion; nor, we believe,
of the somewhat pronounced policy of their
priests in connection with the new cathedral.
The real difficulty is that the French treat the
Chinese most brutally. In this respect they
exceed in atrocity all other foreigners. Even
the servants attached to the French missions
and consulates beat and cuff the Chinese about
the streets For this reason they are bitterly
hated, and their hatred has been visited upon
the innocent priests and sisters of charity.
John Baldy and William Duncan, of Phila-
delphia, convicted of rape on Miss Jervis,
were sentenced on the 4th to thirty-two years
each in the penitentiary and fine of three
thousand dollars, the full extent of the law.
The men are aged respectively twenty-eight
and thirty-two years. Their term of imprison-
ment is thirty-two years, which, added to
their age, brings them to sixty and sixty-four;
and to this three thousand dollars fine, to be
worked at fifty cents day, their term is
heightened over sixteen years; this, added to
their years, leaves the old boys at liberty at
the ripe age of seventy-six and eighty. 1t is
not probably they will ever be convicted again
for a similar crime.
A frightful stabbing affray occurred on
Michigan street, in Cleveland on Monday
nihgt last. A woman known by the name
of Martha Adams, said to have been prostl-
tute, was walking down Michigan street,
when two men accosted her, using insulting
language. She walked on rapidly until she
reached her house, where her man Mr.. Robi-
son, was standing in the door. After hearing
the incident related, he took club and at
tackled the two men. He knocked one of them
down, but the other drew a knife stabbing
Robson in the left groin inficting a severe if
not fatal wound. The police were apprised of
the facts and soon succeeded in arresting the
offenders.
The case of alleged immortality against>the
paster of the North Congregational Church OF
Bridgeport, Conn, the Rev. Mr.. Richards, has
come up for fuller investigation. He has been
conducting himself with great freedom among
the ladies of his congregation. The following
came to light incidentally: A couple of the
fair sex were thrown together one day, when
one of them jokingIy remarked, that she had
visitor, gentleman and clergyman, the
Rev. Mr.. Richards; when the other, with
knowing wink, observed: "Ah, indeed; well,
did he compliment you on your beautiful neck
and shoulders?" "No," was the reply, "but he
