THE PREJUD1oER OF RAOE-A WHITE LAD ATTEMPTS
THE LIFE CT CoLoRED BOY.
tFrom the West Chester Recordl
An apparently deliberate attempt to kill a
young colored lad named John Smith, aged
about 16 years, who lives with John Anderson,
cold Ugchlan township, was made on Saturday
last, by white lad aged about eighteen years,
named Milton Whrlow, who lives with William
Hannum, West Whiteland. Our reporter visited
the injured lad and learned the following par
ticulaTs:
Smith had left his home and was crossing a
field TO a neighbor's, when he was met by young
Whirlow, accompanied by another lad. In pas
sing nothing was said by either party excepting
Good Morning" on both sides, and when Smith
had gone on about fifty yards, he looked around.
As he did 80, young Whirlow, who had his gun
already to his shoulder, pulled the trigger, the
scattering shot from the gun striking young
Smith in the face, some shot cutting the right
eye and car. He went on to the house. only q
short distance, and the boys soon disappeared
starting of on run as soon as the shot was
fired.
After returning home young Whirlow, 1t is re-
ported, stated that he had shot boy. He was
arrested by Harry Williams, constable of Uwch-
Ian township, and taken before Squire Mecas-
key, of Lonville. After hearing the accused
was given till Monday to find bail or stand COM
mitted for trial.

a colony of English people at
or near Victoria, Kansas. A
large number Of the settlers
have already landed, bringing
with them several prominent
English characters.
The tract ofland upon which
the colony is to locate, en-
braces $40 square miles, ex-
tending from the Smoky Hill
river on the south side, to the
Saline river on the north, and
including the Saline valley,
through which winds a river
that rises far away near the
Colorado border of Kansas,
and threads the colony in a
serpentine course west to east.
This river is called Victoria, as
is also the railway station OF
the colony.

A correspondent, says the n.
o. Times, whose contributions
to the Northern press are spe-
cially noticed, points out the
advantages which the South,
ern mills possess over those of
the North, in the fact that they
can obtain and use cotton fresh
from the field before the staple
has been subjected to the pres
sure and expense of baling;
that suitable labor and water
power are abundant, and that,
through the development of
new coal fields, they can OBJ
tain fuel at cheaper rates than
are current in the North
''These," says the Advertiser,
"are strong points, and if
thoughtful and sensible South
erners can be brought to see
that the use of their own re-
sources and the application OF
their own hard labor are the
real processes through which
wholesome rehabilitation must
come, the next census will ex-
hibit a striking contrast to that
of 1870.
