Horrible Attempt nt murder.

A correspondent of the Bristol News,
writing from Mouth of Indiana, West Vir-
ginis, January LIST, 1870. says:
write to say that there was an attempt
at murder Wednesday night last upon the
person of Alexander Lowery, at Shady
Spring, Raleigh county. The would be
murderer is believed to be q mulatto boy
who had been Lowery's travelling COM
panion. from Maiden. An effort was made
to cut his throat and partially succeeded,
but enough life was left to enable him to
speak, when found. He says it was the
mulatto boy who did it. Parties came by
here on Thursday night in pursuit of him.
On Friday morning such a boy was ar
rested in Peterstown and released after
telling good tale. To-day a party be-
lieving him to be guilty, again went in
pursuit of him.

Our National aud State affairs are OF

occurring IN EUrope, unless in regard to
some question involving complications
with the United States. We gather from

summary Of Interesting events
The change OF Ministry III France
carries with ii some significance, inasmuch
as it is SO quickly followed by the peremp-
tory removal OF Baron Haussman, Project

primo Importance, being sure indication
Of the power Of the new Ministry. The
Emperor was DESTROYS of retaining the
Profeot-had, indeed. promised 70 main

for him, but he deferred to the express de-
cree OF his Minister'S The Ministry, in
other matters also, have gone vigorously

and temper of those free born residents OF
Rupert's land than simply offering annoy
anca to Governor McDougall and refusing
to recognize his official character. They
believed the time had come and the OppOf-
tunity was offered them TO tell the Cana
dian government that its jurisdiction had
a limit, hating on the boundary OF the
Red River country, and that any effort to
assert its claims beyond the dividing line
would be met il spirit Of determined
resistance. The half-breeds " will keep
their word. The revolution they have
started is an accomplished fact. and its
effects, it is easy to realize, will be as far
reaching as they are pregnant with the
inevitable destiny Of annexation.
The Dominion government must have
long since discovered the blunder il has
been guilty Of in the thoughtless, cavalier
fashion with which it dispatched Nc
Dougall to command the allegiance of
these Red River people. There was some
thing so arbitrary and autOcratic in the
manner of the thing that, dull of sense as
the "half breeds" are supposed to be, they
were unable to shut their eyes to the pal
pable imposition Of the conceit, and their
protest is now on what promises To be a
permanent record. That the movement
will tend to revolutionize Canada there is
much likelihood All the means of the
Dominion and all the assistance which
England could spare would be inadequate
to coerce the people of Red River, because
they are almost inaccessible from Canada,
and an army could not be sustained there
a month. The new Republic can sustain
itself without difficulty, and will not be

The latest wonder reported is an selec-
trical child which recently died at Lyons,
France, at the age of ten months. This
interesting but ineonvenient infant was,
that nobody could enter the room where
it was without receiving constant electric
shocks. It is stated to have passed away
painlessly SO far as it Was concerned itself,
but there is reason to fear that the surviv-
ors who attended must have suffered much,
for it is affirmed by the doctors that at the
instant of death luminous efluvie proceed
ed from its body aud continued for several
minutes after its decease. The Medical
Times and Gazette. abiding to the case,
says that it is supposed to be quite unpre-
csdented in the world of science.

and catch more trout.
I visited Rhode Island, and attended a
clam bake, which I should not have at
tended if had not been there, and hope
shall go there again.
I visited the White Mountains and saw
many Yankee notions, which I should not
have seen if had not been there, and 1
hope to see them again.
L visited Saratoga Springs and changed
my drinks, which came nearer killing me
than the ride on the Erie railroad. I
changed back my drinks and soon became
able to dance the lancers, and hope the
change will continue.
/ visited Pennsylvania again and stopped
at Lancaster, but should not have stopped
if the cars had not have stopped for little

REMARKABLE EsCAPE-THE MAN WHO
WAS BLOWN TO SEA IN AN OPEN Boat RE-
COVERED. Owe published last week an &C
count of man being blown out to sea
through New Inlet in an open boat from
alongside of the steamship Lucille, on the
night of Saturday the 1st instant This
man. Schuyler Hooper, we are pleased to
record, has again reached the land, being
blown ashore on Cape Lookout two or
three days after his misfortune. He was
found in and exhausted condition, but has
since been fully restored. The Collector
at Beaufort, writing under date of the 7th
instant, states these facts, and also that
Hooper is anxious to return here, and is in
need of clothes aud wishes money from
his employers with which to return. His
escape is very remarkable and his delivery
from horrible death indeed miraculous.
The boat is still ashore on Lookout where
it was stranded with it's exhausted occu-
pant.

The Red River Rebellion.

Whatever might have been thought Of
this movement in the start, says the New
York Herald, there is now little room to
doubt that the settlers of the Red River
region are seriously determined to resist to
the bitter end the assumption of authority
attempted to be exercised over them
by the Dominion government. People
laughed at the idea of handful of half
breeds finging down the gauntlet of de-
fiance to power like Canada, backed by
it's burly patron, England but it appears
there was something deeper in the thoughts

President Sloan has a work of vast inn
portance in hand, and IS surrounded by
overpowering circumstances which must
delay, perplex and control his manage
ment, as it did that Of his successors.
However much the Stockholders and the
friends OF the Road may depiore the con-
dition of things which placed him in
charge Of its destinies, as President of the
Road he is entitled to the trust, and conf
dence, and sympathy, and support OF all
its friends. It's great importance the
labor, and money, and thought, which has
been expended upon it +; it's advanced state
of completion, all appeal to our people to
lend their encouragement and aid in Its
behalf. In the language of the President
to the Stockholders in 1866. We say " This
is no time for idle jealousies. or selfish
schemes, or political intrigues. You have
a great work to accomplish, which will re-
quire all your energy and all your intelli-
gence. You must approach it and deal
with it as business men approach and deal
with all matters of business, or else it will
result in the loss of your stock, the failure
of your road, and the ruin of the country
which ir was intended to improve. If your
officers have not discharged their duty,
turn them out and replace them by men
who will but if you consent to retain them
in Office, do not add to the embarrassment
which the lamentable results Of the war
have made so trying as almost to become
disheartening.

\ Man Marries his MOther-DimcuIty In
Having the Marriage SOIemnfzed.

Some days ago the community in the
vicinity of Oarters Station, was consider
ably exercised over the announcement
that Mr.. Lyon, who lived in the neigh
borhood, had married his mother. It
seems that Lyons father had been twice
married, and the children by the first wife
continued to live in the family after the
second marriage. Lyon, Pere, died, leav-
ing his second wife a widow, and Lyon.
File, married his fathers widow. The
Clerk issued the license without know
ledge of the facts and the minister request
cd to solemnize the marriage, unlike Mr..
Beecher, declined; a magistrate likewise
refused, and the pair crossed over the Stony
Creek, where they were unknown and were
married. NetcS

Another that the old Ministry will retain
power. The excited condition of the
country may be imagined by the circum-
stance that two attempts have been made
to assassinate the Regent. It was but a
few months since that Prim narrowly es-
capped death in the same way. The cana1d
started in this country few days ago to
the effect that the Cuban Junta, in New
York, had ordered the insurgents to lay
down their arms, has reached Madrid.
The dispatch says that the news created a
profound sensation. The Cuban difficulty
complicates the Spanish situation, and
Prim may be able to turn the report, false
as it is, to good account for himself.
The rumor so current that Minister
Sickles had withdrawn his note to the
Spanish government, upon O menace OF
war, is now authoritatively denied. The
note was not withdrawn, but the proposal
of mediation was, and it is stated that but
for the intrigues of the Republican fac
ton, the Ministry would have listened
kindly to the proposition, and Cuba would
have been in the enjoyment Of peace and
independence.
The second public convocation of the
Ecumenical Council took place on Thurs
day. The ceremonies were not so impos-
ing as before There was no procession,
and the crowd of spectators was smaller.
It is evident that the interest of strangers
in Rome, in the Council, is already flag
ging. The Pope was present and in good
health. A correspondent of the London
Times predicts that His Holiness will pro-
claim the dogma of Instability by de-
cree, without consulting the Council.
There seems to be some doubt as to the
ultimate usefulness of the Suez Canal. A
correspondent of the London Morning
Post, writing from Ismalia, says that any
thing drawing over fifteen feet of water
must be ightened to pass through the
Canal. Dredges and other crafts necessa-
ry to keep up repairs, which requires
mint of money, SO obstruct it that the
passage is hazardous. The Company de-
cline to take any risks whatever.
