SINGULAR RAPE CAsE.-A rape case
has just been tried in Lancaster. Pa., on
q charge made by Mrs. Eby against
DR.. George Ferard. The crime was
alleged to have been committed in
hotel at Lancaster, where the doctor was
stopping. while the prosecutri1 was
under the influence of chloroform admi-
nistered without her consent and with
cct knowledge of tina iani. The trial
occupied several days, and large nun.
Der of medical experts were examined in
relation to the effects of anmsthetics and
the methods of administering them
The jury returned q verdict of not guilty
as to the grave charge, but convicted the
prisoner Of administering drug With
intent to commit felony. DR.. Ferard,
who is over seventy-nine years of age,
and man of considerable culture, made
quite an eloquent appeal to the mercy of
the court. He was sentenced to eight
cen months imprisonment at hard labor.

Here is the way the local OF the
Thomaston Herald tells that q man is
going to be married: "Mr. @. +. r. left
town Thursday morning, bound East
ward on the wings of love, to seal upon
Hymen's altars certain VOWS which he
had softly and sweetly breathed' at
Cupid's shrine"
It cannot hurt you. It is purely vege-
table. Try Simmons Liver Regulator,
if you wish to be we'll. It acts like a
charm without debilitating the system,
and without any of the evil effects of
Mercury. Simmon' Liver Regulator is
the safe remedy. N3Ot3

WASHINGTON.
General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The claims
of Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Gin
cinnati are being strongly urged as the
proper places for the assembly Of the
National Democratic Convention.
Many prominent gentlemen believe
that Pittsburgh will be chosen. The
members Of the House on the WAYS and
Means Committee do not think that
the House will take action on the
Senate tariff and International tax bill,
which will propably be reported back
to the Senate.
Commander Jas. II. Gillist has
been ordered to the command Of the
store ship supply.
Advices received here from different
parts of the cotton growing States
report that the planters are MAKING
preparations to plant a largely increased
area of cotton territory this spring.
Geo. II. Marks, Mate OF the re-
ceiving ship Independence, now at the
navy yard, Mari Island, was drowned
on the 9th inst. He was a native OF
the State OF Maine.
To complete his record on rolls
Captain A. +. Bost, of the Fourth Light
Artillery, has been mustered out and
honorably discharged from the military
service OF the United States, to date
from and after September 80, 1868.
A general dullness prevails through
out the city to-day owing to the adj
iournment Of both houses OF Congress.
The members Of the House on the
Ways and Mean. Committee do not
seem to imagine there ID any propabili-
ty of the House acting on the conglom-
Grated tariff and international tax bill
Just passed BY thsSenate. Some of the
Committee, and, also number of
prominent members Of the House who
have been speaking on the subject,
favor a return OF the bill to the
Senate with message desiring
Us right to originate such a
measure; but while there are
some who may insist upon it, the gen.
efal impression seems to be that the
bill will either be tabled or sent 10 the
WAYS and Means Committee. who will
quietly stuff it in a pigeon-hole, and re-
rort il back to the Senate. Much sur
prise is expressed here at the derange-
ment into which the business circles
throughout the whole country have
been thrown on account Of the action
Of the Senate, which, Of course, is not
final, and cannot be regarded 50, even
50 far as that body is concerned.
The bill proposing re Issue OF
National currency comes up 10y special
agrssmrnt in the House on Tuesday
next The President will, on Monday,
transmit. 10 the House in accordance
with the resolution OF that body all the
information in the possession OF the
Government regarding the case OF DR..

Concerning one OF your number Mr..

tense of making a personal exp!ana.
ton, was permitted TO abuse his privi
lege yesterday, it will appear. upon
investigation, that while a member OF
Your body, his occupation has been that
of levying black mail The assertions
and insinuations that he made in your
presence, regarding my personal char,
acter and family relations, originated
in his imagination, or were inventions
of those by whose instigation he has
been speaking There WAS never be-
fore heard anywhere on this earth even
rumor Of anything about my resemb-
ling nearly or in reality that 10 which
your have listened. One who interteres
with desperate enterprises OF corrup-
ton may expect to be maliciously as
sailed with dirt, and | am neither sur
prised nor complaining; but ] venture
to suggest that as the House has been
the scene of utterance OF an
extraordinary slandsr, the protec-
ton Of the House itself from
iniamy requires an immediate investi-
CATION, that the extent of the outrage
may be known, aud that the degree Of
disgrace the miscrean: has earned may
be officially fixed on him. Personally,
he can receive no consideration at
nv hands other than would be his due
it he were already in the uniform OF
convict OF the penitentiary, where he
belongs. NJ. HALsrEAp.
