Referring to some mistakes in letter which
recently appeared in our columns from cor
respondent In Brunswick county, and as
showing the Importance of the county courts
and furnishing an additional good reason
why Governor WALKER should veto the bill
to destroy the county courts, we state that
we have before us now copy of the docket
OF the county court of Brunswick for the
month Of November, 1872, ana find upon it
twenty-six Commonwealth cases aud eighty
nins other cases. This fact speaks well for
the learning, industry, and impartiaity OF
Judge MALLORY.

How TO GEEEYMANDER.-Our Legislature,
which the Radicals SHY gerrymandered Vir.
ginia last year, didn't understand that sort of
fraud. In Pennsylvania, the Radical LegisIss-
ture has passed 4 bill reApportioning repre-.
sentation in Congress, which lM even For
NEY declares to be an infamous "gerryman-
der" conceived in "caucus and carried out
in Il minded and partisan spirit. The
feature Of this bill to which wc call the attcn-
ton of our Republican friends who are op-
posed to SURPRISING the voice Of the people,
is that one which cuts up counties and puts
one township into one congressional dis
trict and another township OF the same
county iuto another congressiou"l district
as if Jackson Ward in this city had been put
into one congressional district by our Legs-
lature and Monroe and Clay into another.

a new constitution for that State, the report
of the Committee on Agriculture, Mines,
Mining, Manufactures. and Commerce, was

the abolition of the usury luw. The provi-
sion is, that in the absence Of special con.
tracts the rate Of interest shall be seven per
cent. per annum, but legalizes the charging
Of higher aud lower rates. Banks are re-
stricted to the seven per cent. rate. Just as

Terrible Encounter With Deer.

The Litchfield CMinn.) Ledger says
About two weeks ago Swede by the
name of Torgilerson, who resides IN
Swift county, was proceeding to neigh
boris, some three miles distant from his
own home, carrying shovel on his
shoulder, which he was returning to his
neighbor, from whom he had borrowed
it. He had accomplished about half his
journey, and was passing through a
small grove, when he heard a crashing
in the underbrush, and, turning round,
saw stalwart deer of the buck persuasion
making for him with every demon
stration of hostile intentions.
There was but one course to pursue,
and that was to fight for his life, and
being powerfully made man, he antici-
pated an easy conquest. Mistaken man
The deer charged with antlers lowered,
even as an enraged bull would lower his
head when dashing at his foes. Nels
grasped his shovel and stood stoutly on
the defensive. He aimed desperate
blow with his shovel full at his head.
It struck one of his antlers with such
force as to break it, but the concussion
was so strong that it forced Nels back
several feet, and hurled him breathless
against tree. just how the fight went
after that Nels don't remember, but he
knows that he fought with all the strength
of desperation, and at last the deer and
himself both fell to the ground, and Nels
lost all consciousness for time.
When he came Ground to his soul
again." the deer was lying stark dead
near by him, and he could barely crawl
away His clothes were in rags, his left
cheek torn open, cash on the right side,
where the deer had inserted one of the
prongs of his antlers, and three fingers
of his left hand jammed up. The shovel
was total wreck, and the carcass of the
dear was pretty well hashed around the
| head and shoulders.
The blow that caused the animals
deathwas inflicted by sharp corner of
the shovel remaining on the handle after
most of the blade had been broken off.
The wounded man succeeded in crawling
back to his home, which he reached in
terrible exhausted condition. It is
thought that hewin survive his wounds.

Melting of Gold.

A few days since the United States
Mint began melting the first intallment
Q,OOO, ,O0O) of the twenty million one
dollar gold pieces, which during the en-
suing month are to be recoined into lar
ger denominations. These pieces were
of inconvenient size, and the Govern
ment has experienced trouble in issuing
them in large quantities. This induced
them to take them from the sub-treasury
in New York, where they have been idle
the past few years, and place the metal
in q more desirable shape. From 1849,
when the first one dollar gold pieces
were coined at the mint in Philadelphia,
to 1867, when the coinage was stopped,
there has been $17, 7O9, 442 made in Phil
adelphia mint alone. It is presumed that
the whole issue of one dollar gold pieces
will amount to over thirty millions. One
million of gold dollars, when first issued
by the mint, will weigh 1858 pounds
avoirdupois, or fraction over one ton
(twenty cwt) and four-ffths. In twenty
million of dollars we have nearly thirty
three tons. The loss by abrasion in one
million dollars is Sc, 4O9.3 81. In other
words 1000, 900, used ten years, loses
SS1, ,667. 40. If the twenty million
pieces to be melted were piled in per-
pendicular line, they would reach eleven
and fve-sixths miles. Were the pieces
laid flat on level plain, they would ex-
tend one hundred and ffty-eight miles.

A Lead Pencil Run Through a Mans
Body,


A remarkable accident occurred on
New Years night, one the narration of
which would not be believed only that
reliable parties tell the story, and the
man hurt has been seen and interviewed.
It appears that on the evening of the
day mentioned, VIM. Lautier, driver of
engine, Jersey City Fire Department,
started for supper, his residence being
on Sixth street, near Coles street. When
near home he slipped upon piece OF ice,
falling backward, and the flesh near the
shoulder blade was penetrated by the
point of well sharpened lead pencil,
which stood upright imbedded In the
hard incrusted snow. The pointed
wooden dagger pierced through his two
coats, under clothing, and then through
the whole body, coming slightly out
the end-in his breast, near the armplt.
He ate his supper and did not feel much
pain until two hours later-though he
thought he felt little sore. He went
back to the engine house, and there and
then he said he though the had broken
bone in fall. His coats were stripped
off, and then his friends saw the sharp
point of pencil protruding slightly, the
other and unsharpened end being i'm
bedded in his back. All who saw the
sight were astonished, as well they might
be. DIR. Reeves was Immediately sent
for, and he and Foreman Hogan had to
take pincers and cut and slash at the
flesh before they could get good hold
of the pencil SO as to pull it out. The
job of extracting it was difficult. Lau-
tier now lies at home, weak in condition,
though he will recover. This must be
set down as the most remarkable case of
stabbing and of penclings by the way
on record.-Jersey city Journal.

New York, her cylinder was presented
by them for exhibition, and it remained
until the place was consumed by fire, al
though fac-simile of the cylinder and
an engraving of the ship are in existence,
which remained in the hands of the cap
tain of the Savannah until his death.
Capt Stevens Rogers was born in
1888, and resided, during the latter part
of his life, in New London, Conn. He
was a fine specimen of the old-fashioned
type of ship-masters- some six feet in
height, and of stalwart proportions a
most exemplary and excellent man, and
universally respected and esteemed;
When quite young, he was imprisoned
by British man-of-war, and, on being
released, he determined afterward to
have his credentials of citizenship always
with him, SO he had his name imprinted
on his arm, the date and place of his
birth, and the figure of hand pointing
to the American flag. These credentials
were indelible, and remained until his
strong arm was overcome by death in
1868. He died in New London, leaving
behind him an unblemished reputation.
