AN EXTRAORDINARY MURDER TRIAL
A remarkable murder trial has recently taken
place in the county of Tyrone, Ireland. In
June, 1871, Mr.. Glass, the Cashier OF the North
ern Bank at Newtownstewart, was found muir
dered in the bank, and it was subsequently as
certained that robbery had been committed,
nearly $4,000 having been distracted. A sub
inspector of police named Montgomery, who
had been on terms of intimacy with the cash
ier, was arrested and brought to trial on the
charge of being the murderer. An officer OF
the ROYAL Irish Constabulary occupies the same
social position in Ireland that commissioned
officer in the military service occupies in Eng
land, and the proceedings in the case of Mont.
pomery excited intense interest among all
Classes in the community where they took
place. The first trial occurred last year, and
the feeling against the prisoner was 30 strong
in his own district that all jurymen living with.
ing five miles of Newtownste ~art were excluded
from the jury-box. The result of the trial was
q disagreement of the jury. The second trial
took place about fortnight ago, and occupied
more than ten days. Eighty-three witnesses
were examined, and the counsel for the defense
made a speech ten hours in length. The jury
deliberated for twelve hours without being able
to agree upon verdict when they were dis.
charged, and the case was assigned for third
trial. This has been the most protrac.ed case
ever on trial in Ireland, and it promises to fur
nish occupation for courts and lawyers for
long time to come.

How Do THEY FIND THE WAY?-Two
weeks ago an account was given of dog that
had been carried seven hundred miles some
where at the West, but not liking the place,
alone, guided by faculty quite unknown to
man, he footed his way to his DID, loved home
without making inquiries, consulting guide
board, or travelling out of the way, at the rate
of nearly hundred miles each day.
An old horse, purchased of farmer in Yer
mont many years since, was shipped at Sea-
brook, Connecticut, with Others, to the West
Indies, for grinding cane. A storm occurring
in Long Island Sound, the deck horses washed
overheard and supposed to have been lost. The
old Vermonter, however, reached land in the
darkness of a stormy night, and finally was
found standing at the barn-door of his old
home The horse had never been far from the
town till sold, therefore could not have been
familiar with the way.
Carrier-pigeons perform feats as swift mes
sengers through the air because they are in
hurry to reach home However far they may
be carried confined in baskets, they invariably
speed their way, without ever resting on the
affections. In 1919, with view to ascertain
their speed, pigeon was carried from Antwerp
to London and there liberated. The bird was
at its cote, having flown one hundred and
eighty miles in straight line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the migra-
ting birds, find their way as unerringly as the
carrier-pigeon does but how they do it is be-
yond our ken. Some imagine birds see teles-
copically one or two hundred miles when high
in the air, and over the tops of mountains. But
the theory throws no light upon the movements
of a mule that found his home in Brazil, hum
dreds of miles over q region where man could
hardly move, having neither path to follow
nor companion to lead the way: Science,
therefore, has something more to do to clear
up the mystery.

THE LAVA BE.os.-Mr. Jesse Applegate, one
of the Indian commissioners, gives the follow
ing graphic description of the "lava beds" !"
which figure 80 extensively since the beginning
of the Modoc troubles:
'The stronghold of che Modoc Indians is
'predegar ian irregular volcanic surface OF the
most extensive and elaborate description; it
occupies, with but few intervals one hundred
square miles. If you can, imagine smooth,
solid sheet of granite ten miles square and five
hundred feet thick, covering resistless mines of
gunpowder scattered at irregular intervals un-
der it; that these mines are exploded simulta-
neously, rending the whole field into rectangu-
lar masses, from the size of matchbox to that
of church, heaping these masses high in some
places and leaving deep chasms in Others
Following the explosion the whole thing is
placed in one of Vulcan's crucibles and heated
up to point when the whole begins to fuse
and run togethes, and then suffered to cool.
The roughness cf the upper surface remains
as the explosion left it, while all below is
honeycombed by the cracks and crevices
caused by the cooling of the melted rock. An
Indian can, from the top of one of these stone
pyramids, shoot man without exposing even
a square inch of himself He can, with due
haste, load and shoot common muzzle- Loading
rifle ten times before a man can scramble over
the rocks and chasms between the slain and
the SLAYER. If al this terrible expense OF life
force dislodges him from his cove, he has only
to drop into and follow some subterranean pas
sage, with which he is familiar, to gain another
ambush, from wkeni it will cost ten more lives
to dislodge him, and so on"

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD BANKRUPT.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD BANKRUPT.
Some time in January of the present year &
petition was filed in the United States District
Court in session in this city, by James P. Low,
praying that the Blue Ridge Railroad Compa-
nv in this State be declared bankrupt. The
petition, which was published at the time,
states that the petitioner is creditor of the
Blue Ridge Railroad in South Carolina; that
he believes that the said corporation owes debts
to the petitioner in the sum of 81 ,125, which
were never paid. 1t also alleges that the said
company has committed an act of bankruptcy
in suspending, and not resumed payment of its
commercial paper, and in neglecting to pay
the amount due upon its coupons due upon
1921 900 of its bonds. And as further act of
bankruptcy it states that the company suffered
its property to be taken in legal process in
favor of J. w. Green, of New York, upon
Judgment of the Supreme Court of the State
of New York for the sum of S205, ] 1880, which
Judgment was entered by default. The petition
concludes with a prayer that the company be
adiudged bankrupt, and that warrant may be
issued to take possession of its property. Upon
the filing of this petition, an order was issued
by the court citing the company to appear in
court on the 18th day of February, 1873, aud
show cause why it should not be adjudged a
bankrupt. The time came on, and the compa-
ny failed to make a proper showing, and on
Tuesday last decree was issued declaring the
road bankrupt. An assignee has not yet been
appointed, but it is supposed that the court
will designate Mr.. Low, the petitioning cred
i.ur to act in the preniises.-Charlcst9n NsTs.

A NEW PLAN TO AVOID BAD DEBTs.-A
Georgia contemporary is out in favor of the
repeal of all laws for the collection of debts.
This. it contends would place all upon per-
feet ' equality, and there would be no debts save
debts of honor There would be no credit
save such as was obtained by means of char
acter for honesty and integrity. A mans fair
name would be worth something to him, and
he would feel pride in knowing that he could
go to any merchant where he was known aud
Obtain credit and give no lien save lien upon
his honesty, no security save his fair name.
Men who now actually take advantage of the
law for the purpose of evading the payment of
just and honest debts would be taught the
ignominy of even questioning the propriety of
paying to the very utmost farthing. The tone
and character of the people would be elevated,
and he who would not pay for what he obtained
would be looked upon with scorn and contempt
Many loafers who live by their wits, and pay
for nothing, would be compelled to go to work
and earn their living in some honest and useful
calling.

GLOVE Y1s ENoUGH."-Last summer Ger
man boy and girl, Henry and Susie, living IN
Minnesota, fell in love with one another. Her
family, at first Indifferent, early in the winter
put themselves in opposition to the match.
But this Romeo was no drawing-room lover.
Desperately in earnest himself, and confident
of the fidelity of his Juliet, he bravely went to
work to make a home for her. he already
owned q quarter-section of land. Taxing his
axe he went to his estate" and there cut down
trees and hewed out logs enough to make
cabin, which he put up without help and fur
nished in rude but comfortable fashion. This
done he asked Susie to come and be his wife.
She consented. Unfortunately, the young man
had not yet set up his carriage; and, since 1t
was unbecoming for bride to go on foot,
hand-sled, drawn by the bridegroom, was press
ed into the service of the pair. Thus they
went forth in secrecy to their new home in the
woodland, she riding trinity on the sled, ne
tupping bravey at the strap. 1t was eight
miles to the little cabin, but love made the
Journey short. There the wedding was to take
place, clergyman having promised to be in
waiting to make them man and wife.
Unfortunately the clergyman was not there,
and Susie was frightened and ashamed She
wanted to 20 home. But Henry, grieved at
her distrust and vet secretly pleased with her
modesty, proposed that until a clergyman could
be found the cabin should be divided, by a
partition wall, into two cabins, of which one
should belong to her and one to him. To this
she agreed, and the young man went eleven
miles through the snow after the boards for
the wall, dragging them home on the sled which
had lust carried a more lovely burden.
When the parents found their runaway
Gretchen it was under these circumstances
she was keeping house by herself ne living
wav w with chiyalrous courtesy worthy of Hen
rv Esmoud himself. The father and mother,
Notwithstanding their grief and anger, were
touched by the unconventional honor aud pu-
rity of the young people, and wisely concluding
that the match was made in heaven, gave their
heartiest assent tU it.

The BoRE.-It is mistaken idea that edi
tors are the only victims of that society pest,
commonly denominated "bore." No man,
whatever his calling or profession, is exempt
from the great moral affection. Some men
are happily constituted, however, and pay no
more attention to the tore than they would to
the buzzing of mosquito; others are able by
a look or peculiar tone of voice to squelch the
pest, nip him in the bud as it were and make
him feel so uneasy that the door leading to the
street will soon be placed between him and his
would-be victim. All men are not equal to the
emergency though, and suffer with the patience
and fortitude of martyrs. Sometimes they fly
from the bore as they would from pestilence
tits not often, however, that this can be done,
for it requires infinite tact and fnesse, the bore
sticketh closer than brother, his tale is inter-
minable, seems to have no end, and he con-
tinues to gabble and to stick, even to taking
hold of the button of coat to prevent the es-
cape of his victim, and all the while laying the
sweet JUNCTION to his soul that he is decidedly
entertaining. Reader, are you guilty Of this
uglness in any of its multitudinous forms? If
80, repent Immediately.
We saw poor friend the other day, fleeing
as it we're from the wrath to come, and no man
pursuing, for he had left the bore snug in his
room We felt for him. having been all over
the same rough road many times ourselves:
How long he remained out, to the neglect OF
business, and prey to the most miserable feel
ings, we know not. Every day this happens
so common is the BORE The minister trying
to get to his filthy and lastly, the lawyer en-
deavoring to make up good brief, the printer
poring over bad piece of manuscript, the
merchant adding up column of figures, the
editor cogitating for an idea, the busy house,
wife, whose every moment of time is needed
for some important duty, and many others, all,
all are thus at times, alas, often times made
the victims of a miserable fellow, whose only
recommendation is that he is full of gas and
can stick. Bah!-Neauberry Herald.

has to be done for them; and by this simple
and inexpensive contrivance they are saved
from all the dangers which surround them in
their embryo state, by far the greatest they en-
counter; for when they are once born, instinct
teaches them to guard themselves against the
ordinary r;iske incidental to their existence
Of those eggs which are deposited in the nat
ural method, it is estimated that not more than
one in one hundred escapes the perils that
surround them and produces living young !;
whereas, by the artificial method, from ninety
to ninety-fve per cent. are saved-a difference
in results of immense public importance.

The Story Of Two Lovers.

Twenty-si1 years ago. James sanderson, a
respectable person, residing in the Scottish He
brides, then verging on 40 years, made court to
q girl some 16 years of age, and was accepted ;
but rival much younger interfered, and bore
off the prize. This made Sanderson feel re-
vengeful; and the girls new lover having been
engaged in smuggling, Sanderson informed
upon him, and he had to leave the islands, 70
which he never came back. The people were
80 violent against Sanders0n that he, too, was
forced to leave, but had married before doing
so, his wife being taken to spite his old mis-
tress, who had not got married.
Arriving on the American Pacific coast in
safety, he bought large tract of land a few
miles north of Fort Langley and devoted him.
self to its agricultural development with so
him comparatively wealthy. Better than this,
however, the new life brought with it such en-
dearment of the woman whom he had welded
without other love than he had been able to
stimulate for her deception, that the increase
of their children was his conversion into the
fondest of husbands; and when, in 1861, he
became widower, he remained 80 ten years,
when he sent home to sister in the Hebrides
to engage wife for him. His old fame was
selected, and she said she WAS willing to 60
with him whom she had Tilted twenty five years
before
From the time of her second lovers hasty
fight under the denunciation of his enemy, the
smugglers sweetheart had never heard of that
individual again, and the lapse of time and the
increasing burdens of her lowly estate made
her much less imperious at 40 than she was ut
16. The wealthy farmer of British Columbia
sent her ample means for her outfit and long
voyage, and the long voyage was accomplished
without incident as far as San Francisco. From
the latter city she was to proceed up the coast
to her destination on a steamer in which a
passage was specially secured for her, and
while awaiting this vessel she was seen and
recognized at hotel by the accepted lover of
her youth, who had been in California ever
since his untimely departure from Hebrides.
There was dramatic meeting, long story ON
either side, and-alas, for the waiting wide yer
"a full revival of the old love.
Both lovers, however, were sobered by the
discipline of maturer years; and the lady hav-
ing explained by whose wish and means she
was in America, declared that she must 60 on
ward as she had promised, and fulfill her en-.
gagement if it was still exacted. She would
faithfully tell all to him who awaited her at
the end of her journey, confess that she could
never love him now as she had lately thought
possible, and abide by his own decision. If he
yet claimed her he must be obeyed. AS the
story ends with her Temperance in the Cali
fornia city few years ago, and quiet marriage
there to the former smuggler, it may be infer
red that the Columbian widower was at once
sensible and magnanimous under his last dis
appointment, and finally proved himself the
friend of the woman with whom fate had twice
denied him a nearer, dearer relationship.

Third ward, which they found no
very small job. After completing
their mission on the north side,
they proceeded to the Second ward,
where they spent an hour in man
ner similar to their journey in the
Third ward. Perhaps it may not
be necessary to say that the official
body did not find it very pleasant
task to walk over five or six miles
of rough and swampy road, inter
spersed with stumps, stubs, logs,
marshes, mud, etc. After the work
was completed, Mayor Comstock
invited the squad" to his resi-

readily accepted,-and be it said of
