The New York Sun of o recent date

The New York Sun Of o recent date
relates this incident: m~rr.,
On Thursday night a San reporter
dropped into 4 refreshment saloon on
Sixty-ifth street and Second avenue,
where he found Joe Coburn holding
forth to an awe-struck audience. II
seems that Joe Coburn had infringed
on the order of Jones Wood that day.
and bet rather heavily OH Fitzgerald
as the winner Of the along race"
Fitzgerald had, about two years ago,
carried oil the first prize at this race,
but has on the two last occasions been
distanced by others. This was too
much for Joe, so he felt very irnte Mt
the whole race Of Scots. A brawny
and stalwart Scot in full highland cos
tune stepped upon the scene. Him
Joseph instantly seized rs a most fit
object on whom to vent his wrath
toward the whole Scottish faction. He
rudely seized Sawney by tho arm and
told him that he could 'slick any
Scotchman OIL the grounds" Tho
Scotsman told him coolly there was q
doubt on the subject, and ordered him
to remove his hands.

Before Joe could finish the sentence
he found himself face upward on the
floor. Once, twice, thrice Joe tried to
recover his ground, but in vain. Baf-
fled in his great energy, Joe thought 1t
was high time to resort to some other
weapons to decide the difficulty In his
favor; but the cool and wiry Caledo-
Man seemed instinctively to know
Joe's intentions. Taking hold o fJoe's
cropping dexter. he shook his head de-
precatingly and said: raa
INA. M. mon, ye munna do that.

Saying which he gave Joe's hand a
wrench and 4 squeeze. Joe started to
his feet, and after a little dusting and
preliminary explanation, offered to
treat the whole party.

Last Winter at a social party In Eas
ton q man named John B. MARKER,
who lives near there, attended the
party and made himself very obnox.
ious by loud and indclicate language
and generally b%olsterous conduct fol
which he was reproved by n gentleman
named Wilson who is q schoolmastei
in Easton. Marker then threatened
that he would punish Wilson for his
presumption, and has since used
threats of the same character. Yester.
day Wilson was ut the railroad depot
waiting for the st. Joe train. intend
ing to come to this city on it, when
Marker accompanied by four or five
other men, rode into town and was ap-
preaching Wilson, who being unarmed
sought safety in the freight warehouse
of the depot. Marker pursued him
with a very large navy revolver, and
got sight Of his victim through n win
dow, then very cautiously opened the
door, and as Wilson turned toward the
light Marker shot him In the right side
above the hip, the ball rangingaround,
on the inside of the stomach and COM
ing out ut the left side, Wilson fell,
and u physician was called who pro-
nounced the wound certainly falkland
the recipient of it is doubtless dead ere
this. Marker then mounted his horse
and fled unscathed and uninterrupted,
and will doubtless. escape and go UNI
whipt of Justice. Here is n harmless
marmed man cowardly shot in cold
blood. and some people will call this

TaE powER OF EDUCATION.

Educational statistics. the world
over, show that those nations and races
which pay the best attention to the
general education Of the masses are the
easiest governed-the most capable OF
self.government. Free schools should
everywhere be fostered and encour-
aged by all possible means, even ex-
tending to compulsory education, aud
in this matter, religion and popular in
struction should so hand in hand; as
for instance, in the case OF the Catho-
lies. Every child should be taught at
least reading, writing aud arithmetic,
and the law, II necessary, should COM
pel this. The success OF the Germans
in their late war with France may
fairly be attributed principally to their
superior general education, not only
in secular but military matters, and
who shall say that if the Mexican peo-
pie were better educated their gov
eminent would not be more Of a fixed
fact, and they more capable of self
government. The published statistics
show that there are owe 1000, 600
people In the United States who can
neither read mol write; Of this number
more than four-fifths are In the South
ern States, and most Of them negroes.
The fact shows the great necessity OF n
thorough system of education in every
State in the Union, as we'll rs furnishes
n forclble point on the subject before
us.
