DsS" Octararo, Chester county, has a
fighting parson. A short time since,
while holding revival meeting, he was
seriously annoyed by the roughs who con-
grcgated around the church doors. Par
son Gregg gave them notice that a repc-
tition Of the disturbance would cause
him to take some muscular exercise
The noise being repeated the parson
stopped his sermon, took off his coat,
and descended from the pulpit, and in
a few moments had given one of the
ring-leaders as pretty a pounding as fell
low ever got. This stopped the trouble,
and the parson quietly continued the SER
vice

The STATE SENATE have by a very
large majority passed Mr.. Buckalew' S
favorite system of cumulative voting, ap-
plying the plan to the selection of school
directors throughout the Commonwealth,
and the bill will doubtless pass the House.
This bill provides that whenever two or
more persons are to be chosen in a dis
trict for the same term of service each
voter may give his vote to one or more
candidates; that is, when two directors
are to be chosen, he may give one vote to
each or two votes to one when three are
to be chosen he may give ore vote to
each, or two votes to one and one to
another in the case of four be may give
one vote to each, two votes to each of
two, or four votes to one in case of six,
one vote to each, two to each of three,
three to each of two, or six to one. If
passed by the House it will inaugurate an
entirely new system in the formation OF
school boards throughout the State.

The citizens of Brooklyn, New York,
have now a first class sensation on hand.
During couple of weeks past there have
been several cases where women and
girls-mostly young girls-have been
stabbed while passing along the street.
The attack has in every instance been
committed by a boy, or as some suppose,
by girl disgu ised as boy, and has
been done early in the evening while the
streets were filed with people. So far,
all attempts to arrest the perpetrator of
these outrages have failed. Fortunately
none of the wounds have proved fatal,
but such terror exists among the girls
of that city, that few now venture out
alone after dark. The object of these
attacks and who commits them, is at pres
ent a mystery though the police are using
every exertion to unravel it.

GGa- Two singular divorce cases were
heard by Justice Sutherland in the SUI
preme Court, of New York, recently.
Some time last fall Mr. George Gross,
who was a married man. eloped from that
city with Mrs. Elizabeth Miller. The
deserted husband and wife commenced
their respective suits for divorces, which
on motion of John n Shorter, their coun-
sci were granted at Chambers. AS both
cases depended upon the same evidence,
the deserted plaintiffs were thrown ne
cessarily often together Acquaintance,
sympathy, and friendship, ripened rapidly
into a stronger attachment, and as they
have been relieved of their matrimonial
engagements, they happily terminate the
whole affair by entering into contract
to sail the matrimonial sea together at an
early day.

DSg~ The beef roots sugar works at AZ

DsS~ The beef roots sugar works at AZ
verado, California, have proved on prac-
tical working completely successful in
every particular. The sugar, just as it
is taken from the centrifugals, is fine dry,
delicately favored, perfectly clean, and
fit for immediate use. 1t is almost as
white as the best loaf sugar, and the
grain is about as fine as ordinary table
salt. The success of the establishment is
so decided that the company will be able
to declare o dividend from the profits of
the first season's work.

Gs0~ Several men have very mystic
riously disappeared from their houses
lately in New York The last case re-
ported is that of a Mr.. Fitzpatrick who
was clerk in Kelley e. Co.'S bank in
Wall street. He left home az his usual
time FOR business and has never been seen
since. There is no reason known why he
should have gone away, and fears are en-
tertained Of foul play. This is the third
case of the kind which has happened in
that city recently and which still remain
in mystery.
