hind the right ear. He Immediately

"ImpFessed."

The Buffalo (N. Y Courier has the
following allusion to the little game
played by Senator Scott and President
Grant:
"We are told that Senator Scott, the
chairman OF the Ku-Klux committee,
has made statement, and that Grant
is much impressed jess SO. The
President was prepared to be i'm.
pressed; it was arranged that he should
be impressed, and in response to that
impression a proclamation, prepared
beforehand. will be issued declaring
martial Law and ensuring Radical rule
in South Carolina. The Boston Post
saws: This is the downfall Of republi-
can government. What the President
may do in South Carolina he may dc
with equal authority in Massachusetts,,
At the first he will naturally make a
flourish Of pretext in order to save
appearances, but when he has once fair
" begun to operate his military ma
chine, he will pay little regard to such
needless restrictions. We shall, with
out doubt, have the Federal bayonet IN
every State that threatens to repudiate
this usurping Executive next year, and
nothing but q change in Congress Q,
the vote of the people will secure th'
salvation of the Republic from a clea'
military dietatorship.

Death Of Well.knOwn Journalist.
Daniel Kane o Donnell, a well.known
journalist, died here this morning. He
was a graduate of Girard College and
began his career as a journalist in the
City Item office, for which paper he
wrote many poems and sketches. He
was subsequently connected with Col.
Forney's Press, as an editorial writer.
During the war he vis;ted the South as
special correspondent, and it is be-
lieved that while with the army he con-
tracted the disease which ended in his
death. On his return home he was
offered position on the editorial staff OF
the New York Tribune, as night editor,
which position be filled with marked
success. Previously he had published
volume of poems, modestly entitled
Songs by Kane O'Donnell." During
his connection with the latter paper, his
health failing him, he was dispatched to
Mexico as a special correspondent. His
letters from the Mexican capital were
admirable specimens OF journalistic
correspondence.

Rold Robbery.

On Thursday night last, 3lst inst.
there was committed the coolest rob-
berry we have heard OF for some time
About ten o'clock on that night some
persons actually drove wagon into the
slaughter house Of R. II. F. Hull reas
the residence Of George Hopkins, Esq,
aud took therefrom two hides and ten
calf skins valued a, s27, and then drove
deliberately off. 1t is supposed that the
thieves drove in the direction OF Will
Jamestown and Bull creek, as the wagon
tracks led in that direction and as sew
eral attempts at robbery were made at
residences on the Williamstown and
Bull creek road the same night. We
advise a sharp lookout for these light
fingered gentry. They are evidently
old hands at the business, and much OF
the thieving done recently about town
can be traced TO these same parties.
Suspicion is strongly fixed upon certain
persons, who have been watched for
some time.-State Journal

lish their own prices.
PHILADELPHIA. September S.-The

Ancient Expresses.

A well known means OF sending news
rapidly, in a country with such bad
roads as Greece, was by trained runners ;
thus we are told that Phidippides, a
professional courier, ran from Athens
to Sparta to beg for aid, JUS, before
Marathon, arriving at the latter city at
the end Of the second day; and this
was a distance Of one hundred and fifty
miles. The constant gymnastic train
ing 10 which Greek. and especially
Spartan soldiers kept themselves,
enabled whole armies to make very
rapid forced marches. In the present
instance, the Spartan army, though
slow to start, yet, when it did march,
performed the distance in three days.
So, the old Chasseurs de Vincennes,
and picked light troops OF the French
army, were trained 10 make swift
marches by running one on either side
ofcavalry soldier, whose stlrrud feathers
they caught hold Of. This, we believe,
or something like it, is still kept up
among the zouaves. The episode OF the
Ferry Cross" in the Lady Of the
Lake" shows how quickly a district
may be aroused by a wellorganized
system OF running messengers, Indeed,
the swiftness Of rumor is as proverbial
as it's exaggeration. Lady Duff Gordon,
in her voyage up the Nile, found that
the news OF her approach invariably
outstripped her movements, rapid rs
they were.
The curious story given 10y Herodotus,
of heralds staff found floating on the
sea at Mycaie, and Of the rumor that
straitway ran through the Greek host
OF battle won by their countrymen in
Greece proper, (that very day al
Ple,aa), is also case in point. In
countries more favorable tor speedy
travelling much use was made OF horses
and other animals The admirable
system of roads and posts instituted by
the Kings OF Persia throughout theil
vast dominions-"the posts that rode
upon mules and camels, as we nave il
in the Book of Esther, excited the
wonder OF Herodotus, who says em
phatically that there is nothing in the
world swifter than these messengers.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September S-The Coroner's
inquest developed the following facts in
relation to the killing of the prisoner in
the House of Correction yesterday
morning: His name is Michael Wrenn
and his age seventy-six. He has been
vagrant for many years, and for a
large part Of that time an inmate OF the
House of Correction. Yesterday morn
ming, George Dresser, one Of the super
numeraries; signalled the prisoners To
come from their cells to 90 to work.
Many OF the prisoners, being sick and
old, are not required to work, Wrenn
being one Of the number, but he came
from his cell with the rest. Dresser
saw him, and became angry; he caught
his coat and pushed him; the old
man fell to the floor, rolled under the
railing around the walk and fell to the
stone tagging, a distance of thirty feet,
striking first on his head, badly fractur-
ing his skull, and causing his death in
two hours. Dresser is in custody. The
Coroner's jury this afternoon found that
Wrenn came to his death yesterday at
the hands Of George Dresser, one OF the
keepers of the prison, and held Dresser
for examination before the grand jury
on a charge Of manslaughter:
A special from Madison, Wisconsin,
says there is considerable excitement in
that section among the hop growers, and
as high as fifty cents was offered there
for hops Yesterday and fifteen TO twenty
cents paid for last years growth: The
quality this year is pronounced first
rate, being better than for several years
past, but the quantity, however, is small,
being estimated at only 5000 bales.

A Man Dies from the Effects OF
Fright.

A Man Dies from the Effects of
Fright.
From the Louisville Lsfger.l
In yesterdays issue were given the
particulars Of what was reported to be
the death Of man from the effects Of
a fall. A man named Mcdonald q
wagon maker at Shepherdsville, and
who lived on the opposite side Of Salt
river, started to walk across the river
at that point, which is very high, with
rock bottom beneath. In crossing
the bridge, he stumbled and tell between
the ties, but fortunately managed 10
grasp the tie with his hands, and there
hung dangling, with one hundred feet
Of sheer fall beneath him. He was ut
terly unable to regain the top Of the
bridge, and held with Il death grasp
until his cries brought assistance from
the end OF the bridge. They lifted him
from lis perilous position and led him
off the bridge Upon reaching the
shore he sat down for a few moments,
and seemed somewhat overcome by the
terrible danger through which he had
passed. When asked il he was hurt he
replied that his leg was hurt little,
and that he would 90 home and put
some liniment on it, lie got up,
walked a few steps, and fell to the
ground and expired. 1t was first re-
ported that he died from the effects OF
injuries to his breast received in the
fall, but such, it seems, is not the case.
The physicians, who carefully examined
the body, say that there was no bruise
or wound sufficient TO disable him,
much less cause death, and are Of opin-
ion that his death was caused by sheer
fright
