DR.. f. M. DAVIS made an examination
of the body, but found no evidence that
any attempt had been made to violate her
person, although the general opinion is that
was the objec. of the murderer, who becom-
ing alarmed for bis safety, by the screams
of his victim, silenced her by blow on the
head, which produced her death. All she

committed between FIVE and ak O'Clock 10
the evening. The boldness of the feud is
shown in the fact that the body was found
bu, few yards from public road, and il
not in sight, almost within hailing distance
of the residences Of JACOB M. SEIBERT,
Esq, and of Mrs. Cox. The Independent
of Thursday adds: We learned from DR..
DAVIS yesterday that the body aud limbs
of the little girl so brutally murdered in the
woods near Falling Waters, on Monday
evening, were bruised in such a manner as TO
leave no doubt of a persistent attempt to COM
NIT rape upon her. The child, true to herself,
gave up her life in the preservation Of her virtue.
We also learned that negro man has been ar
rested on suspicion of having committed the deed
and is in Jail at Martinsburg.

A PROCESSION OF TURTLES AND FRoas.
The Logausport, Indiana, Star says, for
some days past the weather had been dry,
and the ponds Oh the prairie failed in water
The turtles md frogs that had been living
in the vicinity Of one Of these stood it for
a day OF two, but it finally became too dry
for frogs, and they decided to migrate -
The nearest pond that contained water was
three miles distant, and 10 this tho turtles
and frogs started in solitary procession, the
turtles in advance, sagaciously plotting the
way, and the frogs bringing up the rear,
with their deep bass and shrill tenor cries,
Go j, Go it, Water Water 2 The
procession stretched out over the prairie 3
quarter Of a mile long, and steadily march.
ed to tho goal, when such rolicking scene
a. eusued can be better imagined than de-
scribed.

THE Atlanta, Ga, Herald puts in 4 plea
for the preservation of the birds, and says :;
General Harrison, a large rice planter on
the Savannah river, remarked last fall to the
writer that volunteer rice was rendering the
cultivation of rice very troublesome that
the great number of wild ducks which for
merIy visited the rice fields and picked up
the volunteer grains, had been frightened
away by the formidable musket of the stroll
ing freedman. 1t is our honest opinion that
the fearful destruction from caterpillar,
which annually entails such o heavy loss
upon the South, could be greatly alleviated
by taking care Of the birds. Iu France
they are protected by law, and let them have
the same protection hero.

al AM DYING, EGYPT, DYING"
From the Richmond Enquirer.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
The letter of our Louisville correspondent,
written on board the steamer General Lyle will
be found Of more than ordinary interest The
name of this steamer recalls one Of the most Chi
7alric and pleasing incidents of the late war. 1t
was in one Of the battles of the West-which Of
them our memory does not supply-that General
Robert Il. Lyle, a member Of the Cincinnati
press, who had risen not only from printer to
editor, but from private 10 General, was killed
far in advance Of his command, while gallsnuy
leading an assault upon our lines. His horse
bore his corpse into our lines, and the steed and
his dead rider were both captured. So soon as
ii was known that the author of that poem as
familiar and as greatly admired South as North,
4 am dying, Egypt, Dying lay dead in the
camp, officers and men crowded around to take
q last look at the face Of the poet soldier who
had achieved so great literary triumph. There
was no rejoicing over the death of this fallen
enemy; but there was in truth something on
each soldiers cheek that for the moment washed
away Che stains of powder. Tenderly they took
him up, and when the battle was over an escort
Of honor, appointed from among the leading
Confederate officers, bore him back to his own
camp, under flag Of truce, a rudely con-
structed funeral bier, with his martial cloak A.
round him. In life he had touched that chord
Of human sympathy which makes all the world
kin-and in health its harmonious vibrations
sienced all resentment and thrilled the hearts
alike OF friends and foes with q nobler passion
than hatred or revenge.
The following are the verses alluded to above
Of which Gen vile il the author:

A

From the Eureka Sentinel of a recent
date we learned hat the mining operator
and millionaire, W. B. Bourne. of San
Francisco, and manipulation of the for
tunes of the Ward Beecher Consolidated.
In this district, had been robbed of a sum
OF money variously estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. In common with the
Sentinel, we could find but few persons
here who had much sympathy to expend
upon the aforesaid Bourne, in fact, the
contrary seemed the case. But. we have
beer informed that a man had been ar.
rested at Eureka, suspected of being the
thief. We are always sorry to hear of the
misfortunes Of others, but in this case.
under the circumstances, we have no
sympathy to waste, and are uncharitable
enough to wish that, whenever a million
aire becomes so infatuated with money
as to carry a large amount on his person.
when other and safer means of transpor-
tation are to be procured by payment of
a small percentage, he may lose it. Our
people have several little incidents con-
nected with the trip of this celebrated
man to remember. He took the horses
and buggy of Woodruff q Ennor from
Eureka, drove through without a change
at a terrible rate, put them in the stable
at O'Clock at night, had them harnessed
at 6 O'Clock, drove them ten miles before
breakfast, and gsowled at paying the mu-
nificent sum of SO 90 United States gold
Even the lodging-house man and
the stable-keeper were obliged to reduce
charges for his benefit. But Mae
gave him a lively chase on the road to
Eureka, Bourne having started a few
minutes after the stage. Riley says he
up at last.

Local Intelligence.
THE REASON WHY.

Since assuming charge of the News, ii
has been our earnest desire and constant
effort to make a paper deserving the name
of a newspaper, to collect all items affect
ing the people and the county, particu-
larly of a mining character, in order to
assist in the prosperity and welfare OF
all. How well we have done our part is
for the people to determine. But it has
been up hill work from several causes,
first and foremost of which is the manner
in which our mines and mining interests
are conducted. All persons are aware,
whether miners or not, that the property
known as the Ward Beecher Consolidated
has steadily improved in the value aud
quantity OF its ores, and all know who
wish to, that the mines are manipulated
of on Treasure Hill, where they arsfo-
Gated. Instead of extracting ores and
having them worked at the mills belong
ing to the company, the whole object
seems to be to conceal the fact of the i'm
mense amount in sight, and work only
enough to pay current expenses. When
a dividend should be paid from successful
working, an assessment is levied. When
more stamps should be put to work ON
rock, and good rock, men are discharged
and expenses reduced. We know whereof
we speak, and have only kept silent here
tofore from an earnest hope that, as the
Summer advanced and the prospects of
the mines improved, active operations
wonld be commenced. Now the fact is,
that it is not the desire of the m~anipnla-
tors of the Ward Beecher Consolidated to
do a Legitimate mining business but il is
their plan, as il has been for months, to
keep the property back in order to fur
her their own ends. Never in the his
tory of the company has any one of its
mines looked half az well as nowdoes the
Edgar, and never was 80 little disposition
shown to work it for the benefit of the
stockholders. The dallness of the times,
the constant complaint of tightness of
money can. of course, he traced directly |
to the aforementioned state of facts.
Therei is no use in Disgusting these things, |
the case is too plain, and the conduct too
open and barefaced to impose upon any
one. Until men other than W. Il. Bourne
stand at the helm, it will be useless to
hope for better results.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

A meeting was held on Saturday even
ing last at the st. Nicholas saloon, for
the purpose of perfecting the organiza-
ton OF the Fire Department, at which the
following officers were elected to serve
the ensuing term /: Fred. Elliott, Presi.
dent W. j. Smith, Secretary H. A.
oomins, Treasurer H. Bush, Jr., Fore
man Ed. Raum, First Assistant Fore.
man, and Theodore Pramenko. Second
Assistant Foreman. The amended con-
stitution and bylaws of the old depart.
ment were adopted, and the names of 40
members enrolled. A committee consist
ing Of Messrs. Comins, Bush and Keogh.
were appointed to ascertain the condition
ofthe fire apparatus, select a proper build
ing for housing the carriage, hose, etc.,
and report on Wednesday evening. The
gentlemen composing the committee per-
formed their duties energetically and well,
and reported that, on consultation with
the City Trustees, it was decided to allow
the latter to procure a suitable place to
be used both by them and the Fire De-
partment. We are pleased to see the re-
newed interest manifested in the matter
of our fire companies, and all must feel a
certain degree of safety now, as compared
with the past weeks of inactivity among
the Department. The names enrolled
comprise our best citizens, which is sure
Iva guarantee Of efficiency in case of need.
We earnestly trust our late baptism in
fire may not be repeated, and that the
services of our new Fire Department may
never again become necessary under such
terrible circumstances. In the meantime
it should be our pride to be always ready,
as no one knows what time our services
may save US from serious calamity.

ARMS TO INDIANs.-Iti is officially denied
that the Peace Commissioners or the In
terror Department furnishes the Sioux
with breech-loaders or other arms. Any
weapons they may have must have been
furnished by traitors. The officials re-
greet that the friendship of the Pawnees
for the whites should excite the hostility
of the Sioux, but it is not thought that
the Government will interfere further
than to endeavor to keep peace among
the tribes. The fact that the army uses
the Pawnees as scouts, it is thought, may
intensity the hostility of the Sioux.
