Fashionable Religion,

People are now invited to prayer

The Fate Of George Francis.

The irrepressible George Fran
els Train has been duly declared
insane by q jury, and the court
made haste to order him sent to the
Iunatic asylum. Train has more
sense doubtless than some of his per-
secutOrs, but like all men, he has
his weak points, and unfortunately
his egOtism was too heavy a ballast
for the judgement of his sails. Man
y fool often passes for a man of
solid brain by keeping his mouth
shut; but Train was not born such
a fool as that. He has talked too
much, and mistOok his superior
volubility for genius. He has ont
talked all mankind, and has to pay
the penalty. If he had only made
one speech a year the world could
have endured him. But he want
ed to be martyr and a president :,
has been in thirteen jaIls. and will
now try the asylum. Heretofore it
has been joke with him, and an
advertise ment for his lectures, but
going to a lunatic asylum is a more
serious business. Playing the clown
and Pagan leader can be carried too
far, as he will find out. And if he
is not exactly crazy except in spots,
the treatment in store for him may
soon run him stark mad for life

Attempted Assassination.

Our community was shocked on
Monday last, by the announcement
on the streets that Mrs. A. s. Hill,
a mOst estimable lady of the neigh,
boring city OF McComb, was brutal
ly assassinated on Saturday night.
We repaired to the spot early on
Monday morning, and found the re-
port confirmep i'll eveery particular.
II appears that one Frank Moran, a
man i'll the employ of the McComb
City improvement Company, and
the leader of a gang Of hands, had
boarded with Mr.. Hill, from whose
house he had been dismissed for an
insult offered the family. The ties
timOny on the trial went to show that
between eight and nine O'Clock on
Saturday night, last, Moran in a
state OF intOxicatOn repaired to the
house of Mr.. Hill, fully armed, tor
the avOwed purpose of numbering
him. He sent the servant girl i'll for
MIR. Hill, who refused to come out
to see him, he. (MOran), being at the
time i'll the hall leading to the din
ming room. Mrs. Hill, anticipating
a difficulty, stepped to the door and
requested Moran to leave, whereup-
on she was seized by this fiend in
human shape, and fired upon, the
ball entering her body just below
the left shoulder blade, and ranging
downward. She made "a dying con-
fessiOn, stating that Moran bad shot
her and for 10 cause At last ac-
counts her attending physician ell
tertained no hopes of her recovery.
Moran was committed to Jail
to stand his trial at the next
term of cur Summit TntfS,
