DAsTARDIY OUTRAGE. "A dastardly
outrage was committed on the person of
an old lady, Mrs. Betsy Martin, at the
house OF Mrs. Elizabeth Butler, four
miles from town, near Friendship Bap-
tist Church, on last Sabbath morning.
The door of the house was forced by the
party or parties who committed the he'll
ish act. One man was seen; he wore q
disguise and could not be recognised.
A reward is offered, and We sincerely
hope the guilty party may be brought 70
justice. No clue hos yet been disco
vered as to who the perpetrator of the
offence is.-AbbeciAe Medium.

ENGLIsH PRINTERS COMING TO AME-
RICA.-The London correspondent Of the
Weekly Trade Circular writes as follows:
The London Society of Competitors,
in taking the part of its members, has
often imposed such unjust rules that the
masters rebel whenever opportunity co.
ours. Some time ago the society was all
powerful, and though it still has great
power, its influence is on the wane.
Their late movement for reduction in
the hours of labor has increased the cost
of printing without giving the laborers
any pecnniary benefit. Indeed it is very
questionable if the men, having an extra
six hours week on their hands, are not
worse off than herstofore; as to be able
to enjoy such hours of idleness an ad-
ditional six hours pay ought to be given,
or they will dip more deeply into their
regular wages. There are still large
number OF compositors upon strike, aud
there is but little chance of work being
found for all until autumn is we'll ad-
vanced, a. many Of the men were old
employees, who, having been retained
after their prime had passed, were really
doing their employers service III strik-
ing, while. by reason Of their age. mfr
mites, or incapacity, they are unlikely
to gain permanent "sits" in other houses.
We hear rumOrs that movement is on
foot for sending some of these unfortu-
mates to the United States and Canada,
as an idea exists among many individuals
IN this country that the trans Atlantic
printers are making a fine harvest.
LIBERAL PRosPEors IN MIcHIGAS.-
The Daily Times (Liberal Republican,
publishes the following article in its Sun
day issue: 1--WE have important intelli-
gence from the old war Governor Of
Michigan. the Hon. Austin Blair It is
that he will not in any event support
Grant, aud that if Greeley is endorsed at
Baltimore he will take the stump for
Greeley. The Governor does not con
ceal his sentiments. He says that the
stampede from Grant to Greeley will
not only be by one or two, but by
platoons. He thinks Michigan will go
for Greeley if q cordial union is effected
between the opponents of Grant. We
also have direct and trustworthy infor-
nation from Senator Sumner, and i'm.
portant facts respecting his position.
He is now preparing speech upon the
finances of the country aud the financial
administration of President Grant. It
will astonish the American people when
delivered. Should Greeley be nomi-
mated at Baltimore, Senator Sumner is
prepared to speak to his countrymen in
favor of the election of Greeley to the
Presidency"

FIRR.-The valuable steam saw mill,
the property of Mr. w. n. Whitlook,
located about nine miles above Colum-
bia, on the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad. was destroyed by fire on Tues.
day night, the 25th instant. There was
no insurance on the property. The fire

guilty was rendered. 1t was only two days
before the date fixed for the execution that
retrieve extended the Doctors lease of lite
and gave opportunity Tor revision OF the
proceedings.
As in the Wharton trial, there was de-
cided conflict Of scientific opinion, and, by
singular coincidence, the chief witness OF the
prosecution was the Prof Aiken who figured
SO extensively as a chemical expert in the
former case. The Professor details at length
the reactions by which he obtained traces
Of prussic acid from the stomach of the de
ceased woman, and his testimony is sustained
by that Of Dr. Conrad, whose pOst-mortem
examination failed 50 discover any natural
cause Of death This would be confrmatory of
the charge Of poisoning but for the opposing
testimony Of Prof. Wood, who demonstrates
the incompleteness OF the post mortem and
the inaccuracy of the analysis, and absolute
" denies the possibility Of death having
resulted from any known poison. In tins
difference of opinion among medical experts
the 81 tety Of the prisoner lies.
The prosecution broke on Friday, when
the testimony beng all IN, Judge Hepburn,
the prisoners senior counsel, declined to
make any plea at all, but left the case with the
che court. On Saturday morning, the jury
ia = minutes declared SchOeppe not guilty,
the Judge thanking God that the State had
been spared the guilt Of destroying innocent
lie. Or. SchJcpp5 at once lett tor Baltimore,
and rumor has it that he goes there to in
stltutc proceedings to recover Miss Stelnecke' 5
estate.

4 Doctor ScHoEPPE has recently been
tried a second time in Pennsylvania for the
murder of Miss Steineeke. The alleged
crime occurred more than year ago, and
until that, the Doctors character had been

resident Of Baltimore, unmarried but was
engaged to the Doctor, although he was only
about half her age, and at the age of sixty

under bis treatment. On the day of Miss
steinecke's funeral will was admitted TO

in winch her estate was devised to sundrv
leIatees and charitable institutions but
few hours afterwards Doctor Schoeppe filed
q second viii in his own handwriting. dated
less than month before her death, by which
he was made sole heir. Those Immediately
interested in the bequests of Miss Steinecke
declared the last will q forgery and accused

ceased lady was exhumed, an examination
made and on the testimony of experts and
