to awaken no more. The story other hor-
rible burning Is too well known to oui
community to need rehearsal here but we
cannot let her pass away without yielding
our tribute of praise to that guileless in
nocence, that loyeliness of character, Sc
beautifully developed in her child life, en-
dearlng her alike to the aged and the
yonnS. Amlable and atfectionate to every
one, she WAS peculiarly so to her sick
mother. watching and tending her with
more than Il child's vigilance and patience,
and even when tortured by the cruel blaze
lost sight OF self, and begged to be carried
elsewhere that she might not disturb and
distress Mama" Throughout the nine
long hours OF more than martyrdom. she
eVlnced wonderful fortitude and resig-
nation, and when approached by her
mother about dying, swectly replied: mo,
Mama I'm not afraid to die; it will be so
nice to go to heaven, and live with Jesus;
but Wh0l II take care ofyou! Then upon
remembering her little sister, said Ella
viii be Il good girl, Ella will take care of
you. She then gave away her little play
things rs pleased her best, asking that
some Of her playmatcs come and kiss her
good bye. Then told her mother that if
God did not let herliye as long as she did
she would come back again for her when
she died.
This sad occurrence furnishes us with a
lesson of unseliish iilial love, childish
picty. yea, sublime faith, that it were well
for even saSes and philosophers to come
and learn.
lfthc atlcctionate attentions and marked
Sylnpathics OF friends and acQuaintanccs
could rob this terrible grief of its poig-
nancy, surely the bereaved would suffer
no more; but only from the hand of a
Heavenly Father may come the healing
balm For their consolation they must
look away from earth. with its tombs and
its partilgs, its pains and its tears, and
remember that
"She is not dead,-thc child of our alcc-
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor pro-
lection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, her tender steps pur-
suing,
Behold her grown more fair.
" Not as child shall we again behold her;
For when with raptures wild
In our embraces we again entold her,
She will not be Il child;
" But a fair maiden, in her Fathers man
sion,
Clothed with celestial grace
And beautiful with all the souls eXpan-
sion
Shall we behold her face

AN OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMPT To MURDER
Upon the night of the 9th inst, about
eleven o'clock, some unknown partic,
went to the home Of August Whitman, q
road, seven or eight miles from this place
and failing to decoy him out of the house,
commenced firing through the door with
revolyers and shot-guns loaded with buck
shot, most Of them entering tie house,
Mrs. Whitman had taken her position at
the side of the door with an axe. On
hearing the men calling her husband, and
while standing there, IL Of the men went
to the rear of the house and fired through
the open doorway, the ball taking effect
in the door,jam. an inch and a half above
her head. At the commencement Of the
firing Mr.. V. got his gun, which was
loaded with buck-shot, and hurriedly adj
died another charge of buck-shot, and the
ruflans hearing him ramming it home.
with good judgment took safety in flight.
This ~cowardly assault was certainly not
for political purposes, as Mr.. Whitman is
an honest, ino0rensivc man. and Il good
neishbor-takes no part in politics. nor
NEEDLES with his neighbors, but on the
contrary will discommodc hinsclf to
Obligc them any time.
1t will be remembered that three young
ncn-George Faris, Dick and Tom lamp
ton-were committed to Jail, charged With
rape upon the person of Mrs. Villiman,
and it is reasonably supposed that it was
done by the friends of these men in Jail,
who seek by this means to defraud Justice.
and know that if Mr. V. and wife are out
of the way that they will be turned out
for lack OF evidence.
This outraged family have been COM
PEELED to leave their home, and have rent
ed a house in the town of Winchester.
Mr.. V. leaves q comfortable home at the
mercy of these men, who would not hest
itate to destroy it. His crop will have to
be abandoned, and his stock would not be
safe to be left there, and have been driven
off.
We conceive it our duty to expose all
such dastardly acts rs we have spoken of,
because there is 10 way for an individual
or community more desirable or noble
than the way of truth. We honestly be-
licve that if the few bad men who com
mittCd this outrage were absent, there is
no community that can boast more at
fractions than belong to Franklin county

not, by language most extravaganza, do
full justice to the noble people of Lebanon
who so generously and politely treated
their visitors. it is said that Alexander
the Great used to sleep with a copy of
Homer's Had beneath his pillow, so pas
sionately fond was he of reading the de-
tails of battles fierce. And so we shall
carry in our heart a remembrance Of
Lebanon's princely hospitality, her gal
liant men and noble womcn
We wish the public to read this supple
ment. 1t talks of abuses and wrongs that
need correction. and we for one intend to
give hearty assistance towards cutting in
twain the Legislative cords. which bind

much right to dictate the price ofmer-
chsndise as to say what newspapers must

Ex-Empress Eugene Interviewed.

New YORK, July IA letter from Geneva
to the World gives conversation with the late
Empress of France She says that her visit to
France is for political purpose, and 1t is use
less to try to conceal it. She believes there
will soon be general return of the people to
order, and said the Piedmont and Government
at Rome, the Anti Christian and Pagan
Court at Berlio and the wild communist at
Madrid arc filled with fear at the awakening OF
Catholic Fraucc. Now that the wretched
Theirs is gone all moves, now that McMahon
is President who loves France? The future OF
France, said Eugene, is ours and France will
lead the reaction against the forces which have
seemed to threaten the existence of society and
religion throughout Europe. She saw in the
future that France would again be at the head
of the nations; the robbers driven out of Rome;
the Pope restored; Germany divided into
harmless States, and Austria again strong.
