How THE THING WAS DoNE-DIsGRUNTLED
CoNsoL1DATroN1sT.-We copy the following
from the proceedings of the Senate, on the
school question, on Monday last Moseley
kept his contract, but the Wings consolida-
ton friends went back on him They had
promised to vote for mixed schools and
failed to do it, Moseley presented pro-
test and said
Well gentleman, don't like to move a
reconsideration of the consolidation bill, but
| really do think you have gone back upon
me. | was promised that if [ would sup
port that measure, We should have our
rights. You said you would be liberal in
all future matters Of legislation.
Mr.. Pondleton thought that if the Sena
tor had allowed hi,nself to be influenced by
such promises or considerations he was I'M
worthy of a scat upon this floor.
Mr.. Mosely denied that he was induced
to vote for consolidation, solely because of
such an understanding he affirmed
that gentlemen on the other side. when they
were anxious and uncertain about the sue
cess of that measure, had promised their CO.
operation in securing the passage of certain
bills, in which he felt an especial interest
He would like for them to keep their word "

CATTLE FROM TExAs.-A letter from sa.
lem, Fauq uier, county, Va, in the Balti-
more Gazette says Major Eddins, of
Tennessee, has shipped to this place, direct
from Indianola, Texas, about four hundred
head of cattle, in fine condition, averaging
about eleven hundred pounds. The time
from starting till reaching the depot at this
place was seventeen days. Major E. is sell
ling at five cents, and judicious graziers are
taking them readily at the price Nothing
but the scarcity of money in this section
prevents ready sale of these cattle. This
enterprising gentleman intends, if en- our
aged, to continue this trade-and has form
ed business connection with others Of rex
as, and made arrangements that will enable
him to deliver here a like number every
month"

from our friends in the country that the

The Virginia Homestead Bill, which had
previously passed the Senate, finally passed
the House on Wednesday, by vote of 81
ayes to SO noes. This provides for an ex-
emption for every householder or head Of a
family of real or personal estate or both, to
be selected by himself, whether heretofore
or hereafter acquired, free from all debts,
whether heretofore or hereafter contracted,
with exception, however, in favor of any
demand in the following six cases: For
money due on the purchase Of the property :;
for work done by a laborer or mechanic !;
for liabilities incurred as public officer, or
as officer Of a court, Or by any fduciary, or
attorney at law, for money collected for
taxes lawfully accruing after July 1, 1866 !;
for rent hereafter accruipg or for fees of a
prblc officer, or officer Of court hereafter
accruing. Tile constitution says, in refer
ence to these exemptions, art. XII sec. 3 {:
"Nothing contained in this article shall be
construed to interfere with the sale of the
property aforesaid, OR any portion thereof,
by virtue Of any mortgage, deed of trust,
pledge, Or other security thereon"
And the act just passed itself provides that
the householder, Or head Of a family, may
waive the whole exemption in favor of any
obligation that he chooses. This provision
for waiver came near defeating the bill in
the House Of Delegates, where it passed by
only three majority out of total vote Of

AN ONO BELLE-A singular shooting
affair occurred recently at Macarthur. Ohio.
A local paper says: ''Miss Sarah NJ. Sage,
connected with one of the best families in
the village, and one of the most beautiful
and brilliant young ladies in the community,
has been for some time blindly infatuated
with young man by the name of Mack
Will, who is also of the most respectable
connection and of good talent, but whose
habits OF intemperance have become of the
most fearful character The lady devoted
herself to him. making every effort for his
reformation, but apparently without the
slightest success, and becoming maddened
by the fruitlessness of her effort, concluded
to hold the oon-keepers responsible for
her failure. On Thursday night between 9
and 10 O'Clock she visited the saloon Of
Patrick O'Keefe with loaded six-shooter,
and, opening the door, fired upon O'Keefe
without effect.
She then entered the saloon and accused
OKeefe of selling liquor to Will. He de-
MED, and some alterations cnsued, when
she shot again without effect A bystandcr
then grasped her hand and threw it down,
and IN this position she again fired. the ball
passing through her shawl and lodging in
the thigh of OKeefe, inficting a serious
and painful wound. She was then placed
outside of the door, and went away. The
next morning she was arrested and taken
before a justice and discharged on some
technically. On Friday she was re-arrest-
ed on warrant from justice at Hamden,
where she waived and examination, and held
to answer at court in the sum of S510.-
On the same day Will and married sister
Of Miss Sage appeared at Hamden, and the
party proceeded to Jackson, when the
belligcrent lady and her spurious lover were
safely linked in the slken chain of matrl-
mony"

The WEATHER-TRUcK1NG IN VIRGINIA.
The present wet spell has been most dis
astrous to the prospects Of the truckers in
this section, and the loss in Strawberries
and peas has been very heavy-some say
about one fourth of the whole crop. Truck
ing has grown to be an immense business in
the immediate neighborhood of Norfolk and
the surrounding counties, and few have any
conception ofits vast Importance During
the present season it is estimated by compe-
tent judges that 10 ,00C, 900 quarts of straw
berries have been brought to this market,
the greater portion of which has been ship
ped to the Northern cities. This is an in,
crease in the production of this berry OF
about two thirds in two years. Two hun
dred thousand barrels of peas have been
raised in this section this season. The crop
of peaches, pears and grapes will be very
large, and an intelligent farmer informs us
that there is but little doubt that our soil
and climate are as we'll adapted to the cult
walton Of grapes as are those of California
During next season the quantity of fruits
and vegetables will be still further increased
as the truckers are preparing large bodies of
land for this purpose. The truth is, that
but few of our city people are aware of the
mighty change which is going on in this
immediate section -Norfozk Journal.

A Fearful Stroke of lightning.

The Chicago Republican of Monday
says:
One Of those fearful occurrences which
from their rarity and suddenness, as we'll as
their ineyitableness, fill the observer with
a feeling Of awe and CONSERVATION, happen
ed Saturday about noon.
A party of laborers, nine in number, in
the employ of Mr.. Kline, contractor, were
working Saturday about noon on North av-
anue, when the thunder storm commenced
The rain came down heavily, and they were
compelled to desist and seek shelter from its
fury. They ran toward barn near the
corner of Milwaukee avenue, owned by Mr..
R. Perl. One Of the men, named Bowling,
was standing near the stairs inside the barn
Stack, another laborer, was sitting outside
near the northeast corner Miner was sit
ting close by the door, and Eiser, Andrew
KIDNAPPED, John Schaenfeld, anda man
named Schultz were also in the barn. stand
ing near the centre.
Suddenly brilliant fash, streak of
light along the wall and the floor, the crack
ling Of splintcrs and q tremen lous crash like
the bursting of a mine, and Eser, the prin-
cipal witness, fell stunned upon the floor
He was insensible for few moments, but
recovering consciousness he ran out, terror
stricken, scarcely alive to the surroundings.
The drenching rain soon revived him, and
he ran back to the barn. Bowling and Mi
ner were lying dead on the floor, just where
moment before they were sitting in the
enjoyment of full health Running out
again, nearly bcwildered, Eiser saw Stack
stretched upon the grouud, lifoless Grad
ually becoming less excited he looked round
to see if he was the sole survivor of the aw-
full catastrophe, and behold Schaenfcld,
KIDNAPPED and Schultz together The last
named man was lying down groaning, the
other two standing over him. His legs and
thighs were both fearfully burned Schacn-
field was quite deaf. the shock having tenn
porarily paralyzed the organs Of hearing -
A number Of persons focled rapidly to the
spot and carried the corpses and the suffer-
ing man into the house of Mr. Perl.
The barn presents strange appearance.
The bolt struck it at one corner, whence the
subtle essence passed through the opposite
side, tearing off the boarding and striking
down the men, and Eiser says he saw the
lightning run along the floor between the
men before it exploded
The bodies present no signs whatever of
violence. The faces are all calm, placid and
undisturbed, and the dead men wear the ap-
pearance of slcepers Their clothes were
uninjurcd.
