The KILLING OF WIFE BY INCHES. -
The examination of Dr. Carl Groessc of
Louisville, Ky, on the charge of caus-
ing the death of his wife by ill-treatment,
is progressing. A witness testified to
the cruel treatment, and also that the
DR.. expressed desire to get rid of his
wife during her confinement; that he
kept her in close room, the doors anil
windows of which were shut, and neg
lected to provide her with the absolute
necessaries of life. and did all in his
power to prevent the neighbors from
contributing to her relief. The testi-
mony of the chemist who analysed the
stomach of the deceased has not yet been
received.

A KILLER. The whalemen of Monte
rev Bay, Cal, went after q shoal of por-
poises few days ago, and caught a sea
wolf or short finped killer. The killers
have very peculiar habits. They go in
bands Of two or three, or more, and prey
upon seals and all the other species, ex-
cept the sperm whale. They keep about
the head of their victim, seizing il by
the lips and tongue, and dragging it un-
der the water and retaining it there until
dead They then feast upon the carcass,
biting out large pieces of blubber and
flesh. which they bring TO the surface
and devour. Sometimes the killers"
recapture q whale from the whalemen

Progress of the Northern Pacific Rail

Progress of the Northern Pacific Rail
80 road.
The energy with which tho building Of
this great thoroughfare is being pushed
forward is and added guaranty Of its early
completion an its wise management. We
learn from the financial agents ofthe Road,
Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co that at the
present date. the grading is nearly finish
cd for 266 miles. from Lake Superior,
through Central Minnesota, to the eastern
border of Dakota; trains are running over
1870 miles of completed track; the Mississ-
ippi river is bridgcd at Brainerd and once
more joined to the Lakes by rail and track
laying is rapidly progressing Westward
BY September next, trains will run TO the
Red river, and tho grading will probably
be far advanced toward the Great Bend Of
the Missouri river in Central Dakota.
In the meantime work has been COM
cuced the present season on tho Pa
cifc coast; large force of men is already
employed in the valley of Columbia river,
in Washington Territory, and hereafter the
work Of construction will be pushed both
eastward aud westward toward the centre
with such rapidity as the best interests Of
tho road may justify.
Including its purchase Of tue St. Paul
and Pacific Railroad Company has 413
Miles Of Road now in operation, and be-
fore tho close of the present season the
length of finished track will be at least $50
miles. The now highway to,thc Poetic

The New York World is again urging
tue Democracy to turn their faces to The
future instead ofthe past to accept accom-
plishcd results. to pledge themselves NOT
to interfere with negro suffrage, nor to
war on the late amendments to tho Con-
stitu,ion. On this kind Of platform the
World hopes for success. Suppose the
Democratic party should change front and
make these pledges. Would that be a
reason for putting them in possession Of
the Government? As the author Of those
measures cannot the Republican purity DO
better trusted to maintain. them than new
convert whose conversion clearly results
from policy not principle? OF course un-
til the Democracy do make these pledges
they will not be entrusted with power; but
it does not follow that they will when they
do make them. Some other reasons for
the change will first be necessary, such as
have not yet transpired.

The Flick Amendment.

Tho Charleston Herald says the final
action upon this important measure has
been trss:@iltOd blythe Legislature to the
people, and will take place on tue lSs .,.'l'
Thursday of this month. In point Of
of numbers the class affected by this meas
urc is considerable; while socially and po-
littcally it marks an era in the history of
our State that deserves notice.
1t is not necessary now to discuss tho
causes which produced these disabilities
it is sufficient to say that the causes them
selves have passed away, and pcrpetuating
political disabilities is bad policy, and We
are glad to know that this last remnant Of
our strife will soon pass away, and be
numbered among the things that were. 1t
must be, and no doubt is gratifying to the
disfranchised to know that in general all
parties IRE equally earnestin their endeav-
ors to bring about their enfranchisement.
1.-THE measure be opposed at all, it is
clear that it meets its strongest opposition
from those who were loudest in their clam
or for relief; for this class, such opposition
is not to be regarded. as, mauifestly, it
springs from o fear that those who will
have just recovered their political
freedom may supplant them in the
affections Of their people. Such views
never yet accomplished any good to the
community. and in our opinion never will.
The stability Of tho Government must rest
on the affections of tho people. This will
never be attained while there arc disabili-
ties resting on portion ofthem. We de-
sire to see the people Of our State prosper,
Gus and happy, aud in order that pros,
pcrity may be reached, we must be united.
And how can we be united while part Of
our people are debarred from the privileges
they should enjoy. Tho FIRST step then il
in our material progress must be the re-
moval Of tue disabilities which can be &C
compIished by the adoption Of the Flicl
Amendment. We trust that the amend
ment may be ratified.

Agricultural Fair.

Mr.. Editor:
/ am pleased to see that come of our
friends are taking steps toward establishing
an Agricultural Society in this county,
and now that the subject is being agitated,
our citizens should come forward and sec.
ond them in their praisewortby undertake
ing. Let it not be said that Mason coun.
ty, standing as she does, in the front rank
as regards population, wealth and iutelli.
geuce, is yet in many respects behind her
sister counties of tho State. All with
whom l have conversed in reference to the
proposed Society. seem to be strongly in
favor of it, and I am satisfied that with q
little exertion an Agricultural Society can
DO established in our county second to
none in the State.
see that the grove on the farm Of
Mr.. James Capehart, about one and o
halfmi above Point Pleasant, is spoken
of by some as the site Of the Fair Ground.
This would doubtless be very nice place,
but | would suggest Machir's Race Course
in Robinson Township, as the most suita'
BILE place in the county, and as regards
population, the most central. I do no
know that tho course could be leased, bu
providing that it could, think that tht
Society should take into consideration it
advantages, remembering that there is
good mile track within the enclosure, ant
which has recently been repaired and pu
in fine order. This course is situated il
one of the most beautiful portions Of til,
county and is as acceptable as the first nam
ed, being but two miles from the 0hiC
River, seven from Point Pleasant, SAINT
distance from West Columbia, and Blu
very little further to Hartford City ant

close Of the Public Schools at Hartford
CITY,

( Close OF the Public Schools at Hartford
City.
Mr.. Editors
We have just closed our school, having
taught Eve months with great satisfaction
| to ourself and also our assistants, and hope
We have done our duty. At least 1 can
say for oursclf and think for the rest that
we tried to do it. The number of lessons
recited during the term are as follows:
Reading 800; Writing 100: Mental
| Arithmetic 800; Written Arithmetic 2eO;
Grammar 500; Spelling 800; History
800; Geography 300. Total $500.
The number of teachers were 8 for II
weeks, and 4 for9 weeks. The average
attendance for boys was 75-1OO. for girls
6O-1OO. The number enrolled were 1872
lip boys and 100 girls. We had one
visit from the County Superintendent, ono
from the Trustees, FIVE from citizens, and
seven of strangers, We closed with o
two days examination; had during the
time two citizens to call on US, who re.
manned about an hour; so you see the in
terest that is taken in the prosperity ofOur
school. It is not doing our duty, and we
have come to the conclusion that one Of
two things is true, either the people have
had full confidence in US rs teachers, or
else they consider us SO absolutely worth
less as to treat the whole affair with silent
contempt.
We had two nights Of exhibition at the
close of the school, and realized some mo-
noy over aud above the expenses, but not
what we expected from the large audience
that was present each night. But the
first night there were about $50 children
present, and the last night about 15O,who
paid nothing. which we doubtnot accoun is
for not not realizing more; but we Gou't
complain, it is all right. II.
