From the Wilmington (Del.) Journal


A few days ago, as report has it, q
novel procedure took place in this city in
the nature of the chastising of newly
married man by the brides mother.
From what we can learn of the case the
gentleman deserved all he got, and we
trust it has made lasting impression
upon his mind, if it did not upon his face
and head. II seems the gentleman, who
was widower, wooed, won and married
an industrious young lady, who formerly
resided in the lower part of this State,
and who was engaged in the business of
dress making, but who moved to this city
short time before Mr.. - became ac-
quaiuted with her. She was doing a good
business in the above line when he mar
ried her. The honeymoon had hardly
passed before the husband blasted all
the bright prospects, as we'll az the faith
fol promises be had made to her, by
getting upon one Of bis old-time drunks;
and when in that condition be is as filthy
in his habits as drunken man can we'll
be. He continued on his sprees, despite
the pleadings Of her whom he had prem
ised to love and cherish, until forbesr-
ance ceased to be virtue, aud she laid
her grievances before her mother, who
thought she would try another style Of
argument; so she supplied herself with
a pair Of weapons known as steel
knuckles, and visited the residence OF
her unfaithful son-in-lsw, and proceeded
to chastise him in q manner that brought
him to his knees, and he promised to do
whatever she wished. He begged his
wifes pardon for his past neglect, His
mother.in.Isw had Bible brought forth,
and made him take an oath TO abstain
from the Intoxicating cup. How long
be will keep his oath we will see.

afternoon, which it is feared may result in
thc death of the victim. About half-past 8
O'Clock Mrs. Yost. niddle.aged woman,
was engaged on the hillside above Sligo
picking elderberries, when by some
mishap she lost her equilibrium and
fell over the side. She first rolled down the
hill distance of about seyenty-bve feet,
and then over an embankment thirty feet
high. In falling she turned over and came
in contact with the ground with the side OF
her head and shoulder. She lay there until
some of the workmen in the Sligo mills,
who had observed her fall, ran to her as
sistance. When picked up she was per-
fectly insensible. She was taken into a
house in the vicinity, and DR.. McCord, OF
the neighborhood, called in. Upon exami-
nation, the physician discovered that her
skull had been fractured, and that she had
sustained severe bruises upon various parts
of her body, which, though not serious,
were very painful. He rendered all the
medical attention possible, after which the

A FEARFUL FALL-HERoIc EFFORT TO
SAVE LIFE.-The Kingston (New York,

slant pSfty of ladies and gentlemen were
enjoying themselves at Minor Kill Falls,
near Gibson, Greene county, when one Of
them, a young lady named Miss Gill, being
near steep precipicc,. slipped and fell
from rock distance of over one hundred
and twenty feet, into the water below. The
party, with one exception, stood trans
fixed with horror to the spot. This ono
was young man belonging to Kingston
named Eugene Newcomb, who, seeing the
situation, at once went to the rescue.
Springing from crag to crag he descended
the cliff, and at last found himself in Jump
ing distance of the waters edge, which he
reached at Il single bound. Without pau
sing moment he sprang into the water
and caught the young lady in his arms and
brought her to the shore. 1t was found she
was in an insensihle condition, and MIR
Newcomb at once bore her to house
half mile away, when restoratives were
applied, after which she was taken to hel
home, about n mile further on. She wa:
found to be badly bruised and cut, but al

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS IN WEST VIR
a1N1A,-ln estimating the number Of newly
registered voters yesterday morning We
should have said that more than two thou
sand names have been added to the list IN
the first congressional district alone. In the
whole State there are at least six thousand
newly-registered voters, fye-sixths ofwhom,
after deducting the negroes, will vote the
Democratic ticket. There are three or -four
thousand more whom the boards of registra-
ton will be required to put upon the list at
their meeting on the first Monday in Octo.
Der. The vote cast this year will be nearly
ten thousand greater than that of two years
ago. Of this increase it is conceded that
the Democratic ticket will receive much the
larger portion.- Wheelinq Register.

No PROMOTION FOR MALCoETENTs.-The
WM,gsuggests that the Conservatives should
elect no man to Office who is ashamed OF
unwilling to be known as Conservative.
1t is possible that some place-hunters have
calculated that it would be good strategy to
clamor about the overslaughing of Demo-
Gratis as means of securing their own nomi-
nation for lucrative or honorable posi-
lions; but the apparent dissatisfaction is
confined to so few persons that we should
suppose that the strategists would by this
time have come to the conclusion that their
judgments had been at fault. Hence it is
hardly fair to charge them with an unholy
ambition. Rather let us concede that it is a
mere obliquity Of vision which pre-
vents them from seeing as men see whose
eyes are as mems eyes should be. Never
theless, it would never do to elect such men
to office. They would never act with the
majority, nor, as to that matter, with the
minority, if it happened to be large one.
They are too good, too pure, too patriotic.
They must have little stage-coach faction

GOOD PIcKlSGs.- Lcesburg Republ

GOOD PICKISGs.-The Leesburg Repubh-
can, good Radical authority, says:
"The Democratic papers in this State are
all patting the State Journal on the back
for its treachcry. As it has made $4,000
out Of the Government and State printing
it can afford to retire"
The Republican must have longed for a
few Of these pickingS, judging from the
spiteful manner in which it speaks of its
associate in politics. II publishes a letter
from Alexandria which gives the following
astounding information concerning the
editor of the State Journal:
"First. The editor and proprietor is an
old PENNSYLVANIA Copperhead, who was put
out of office by Mr.. Lincoln.
"Secondly. He has never to my know.
ledge had Republican employed about the
concern.
"Thirdly. He wanted to be collector oil
the port of Richmond, and because Mr.
Porter preferred his old friend Colonel
Humphreys to remain, the would-be I'M
poltant individual took offence, and now
shoots his pop-gun daily ut Mi. Porter and
his friends.''
The Republican also publishes letter
from WILLIAM 4. BAILEY, of Richmond
which states that at "one Of the largest
and most enthusiastic Republican meet
ings" ever held in this city the followin!
resolution was passed:
Resolped, That we repudiate the Stat
Journal as the organ OF the Republican
party, and declare 1t unreliable and antago
nistic to Republican principles and we ca
on all Republicans to withhold their SUP
port theretrom."
1t is none of our quarrel but we may b
allowed to say that our impression is tina
nearly every white Republican in Rich
mond, and certainly all the best of them
as well as many of the negroes, take side
with the Journal.
