DIAMONDS.

A very excited condition Of the dia-
mond status developed Itself yesterday
afternoon, says the Salt Lake Herald
Of November 18th. Indeed, we over
heard one bluff bet Of $4,000 made to
silence a certain Journalistic sufferer.
Our readers will remember III calling
attention to Mr.. J. F. Berry's samples
Of precious stones. and the hope was
expressed that the Held Of discovery
might be In the neighborhood reported
upon by the corps OF Denver engineers
TO whom we sometime since devoted q
little space. Yesterday the stones ex-
hibited by Mr.. Berry were subjected
to an examination by a New York lap
dairy, stopping In Salt Lake. and were
pronounced genuine diamonds. Mr..
Berry offers to bet 1000 that the
stones are diamonds, and he further
declares that they YER found by him
In Western Colorado. There are In
all twenty-six Of these stones, one OF
them which weighs three carats. Mr..
Berry declares his readiness to pilot a
party to the locality at once, and to
stake everything upon the result. de
says It Ia where Henry Janin. Of San
Francisco. went, and that the latter's
report Is true. A number OF leading
capitalists ara already forming q COM

DEATH FROM 4 PISTOL. SHOT.

Jasper j. Con. who was shot BY .
stray BALI In the shooting ARRAY which
occurred on Thursday evening last,
In front. of Franks Saloon, says the
Eureka Sentinel OF November II, died
yesterday morning at five O'Clock. A
Cor oner's jury was impaneled. and,
after hearing the evidence. rendered .
verdict that Jasper j. Golf was a ma
tive Of New York. aged 80 years, and
that he came to bis death by a gun
shot wound fired from the hands Of
some person to the jury unknown. A
post mortem examination OF the body,
made yesterday by DR.. Chamberlain.
proved that the ball entered the back
about two inches to the LEFT OF the
spinal column, and ranged to the
right and somewhat upward. Il grazed
the spine between the third and fourth
vertebre Of the lumbar region, and
lodged In the mescntery, producing
considerable sxtrayasation Of blood.
The wound was undoubtedly sufficient
to produce death, and no medical
treatment could have possibly saved
the unfortunate mans life. The ball
appears to be Of the size uzed In an Or
binary Colts revolver, though 1t Is
somewhat, battered from Its contact
with the bones Of the spine.

The CATHOLICS AND TEMPERANCE.--The
Catholics of this country are attracting the
attention of the public to their active move
ment, in the cause of temperance reform in
their church. Last week they held at Bati-
more National Catholic Convention, which in
cluded delegates representing 800 societies or
Unions with a membership of 3jO,0OO 1t is
stated that $4,000 members were received into
the Unions during the past year. The priests
are taking an active part in the work. AT
this National Convention permanent organi-
cation was effected, with Rev. Father Nc
Dewitt, of Washington, as President, and j.
j. Flanagan, of New York, and Rev. G. G..
Prendergast, of Georgia, as Vice Presidents.
A circular of instructions to the Parochial
Societies of the United States and Canada was
issued, the points in which are these: Politics
are to be excluded from the Unions, and officers
engaging In politics are thereby deposed
ProhibitOry legislation is deemed insufficient
religion only being potent to overcome the
appetite for drink. All members of the Union
must be Catholic COMMITMENTS. Another
National Convention is to meet at Cleveland on
the 10th of October next.

DEATH OF A CRAZY MINIsTER.-Rev. Jas.
Nichols at one time one of the most promising
and brilliant ministers of the Philadelphia
Conference, and native of Tuckahoe Neck,
Caroline CO., died away from home and friends,
at the Insane Asylum, at Bratteboro', VT,
on the 4th instant, in the 6lSt year Of his age.
He was educated for the bar, but on reaching
manhood he chose the ministry. The Denton
Union says of him His mind was one vast
storehouse Of knowledge, and such was his
thirst for its requirement. and the scope Of his
intellect, that at times, when engaged in solv-
ing some difficult question, he was unconscious
of the approach of his nearest friends or of his
surroundings. He was hard student so long
as reason maintained the mastery over the
physical man. But when bodily ailments
came, tcaused by intense application the seat
OF the mind became diseased, the intellect was
dethrOned and he became great moral wreck
stranded On the shores Of time. We have
heard him in days gone by, when his cloquence
thrilled the heart like the electric spark and
moved the stOutest hearts. His was great
mind, and had he been free from affliction,
would have left behind him a brilliant example
OF christian purity, meekncss aud love- For
more than 81 years he has been an inmate OF
the Lunatic Asylum, and during this time,
nearly a generation has passed away. There
are but few now living in our midst, who know
anything Of his past life, and hundreds, who
perhaps, never heard his name. His second
wife, and one, if not more, of his children still
reside in this county.

IHE ELKTON AND MlDDLErowN RAILROAD.
This project which has been quietly sleeping
tor several months has again revived.
Petitions are in circulation in Cecil and
receiving numerous signatures, the object OF
which is to memorialize the Legislature tc
transfer the $5S, 900 appropriations which has
heen set apart for the Elktnn and Massey.
Road, to the Elkton and Middletown Road
Il Is argued that with this aid the Eikton and
hlddletown Road will at once be built, and thai
the transfer of the State appropriation. instead
of damaging the prospects Of the Massey's
connection, will in reality aid it, as nearly all
the Elkton and Mddletown Roai that will be
included in Maryland will take the same route
as would the Masseys branch, and thus about
nine miles of that road be built at an expense
to its corporators of only $5S,OO0
