SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A MINISTER
The Cambridge dorchester county, Md0
Chronicle says There was time of unusual
excitement in Cambridge last Friday afternoon,
consequent upon complaint being lodged with
Squire Winterbotton by Miss Josephine Short
er, a respectable young lady, and daughter of
Jared Shorter, ST., of BacktOwn district, in this
county, against one Rev. Howard L. Alexander
yOGng Methodist minister, from the same
neigbborhood, charging him with q criminal
indiscretiOn towards Miss Shorter. Mr. Alex
ander, against whom this charge is brought is
apparently not more than tweRty-one years old,
youthful IN appearance, and dresses in a Sc
veIely PLAIN manner. He came to Bucktown
not more than two months ago, from the Key
stone state, to preach for the Bucktown Meth
odists, and has served them in the capacity of
pastor since that time. The accused was held
In 200 for his appearance at court. Mr.. Alex
ander tainted several times when the charge
was made against him in the magistrates
Office
The affair first came TO public notice on the
18th instant, at woods meeting, at which the
accused was officiating. Mr.. Alexander had
given out his opening hymn and otferd his first
prayer, ana when about to read the second
hymn he was rudely interrupted by William l..
Shorter, jr., robust brother OF NJ iss Jose phine
who, Stepping up to him, pushed him roughly
aside, objecting, with an oath, to his preaching.
OF course such bold step at this jnncture at
AT once excited the entire congregation. VIM.
j.. Shorter, sr., who seems to have been n good
old-fashlCned Methodist, rushed to the preach
ers defense, whereupOn Shorter, ir., strai ght-
ened his arm rather vigorously upon the old
gentleman, a relative, and in the language of n
witness the Shorters "clung." A general me-
lee followed, in which q namber of others par
uclpated. Shorter, jr., was fined $50 and costs
Tor disturbing religious worship s. and costs for
an assault on Mr. Alexander, and 81 and costs

HERoIsM or A SERVANT GIRL. - In New
fork, early Wednesday morning, Mary Guam,
servant in the employ of John +. Clark. who
owns and partly occupies the tenement house
NO. 1l3 Washington street, heard noise In the
rear basement of the building, she occupying
the front basement as a bedroom The girl
partly dressed herself, and, arming herself with
carving knife, crept nOiselessly TO the door of
the rear basement, in which she saw a man
with blackened face and false side vhiskers
and mustache, in the act of lighting a pile of
kindling wood placed against the wooden parti-
ton OF the celler. The stranger, on seeing the
girl, started up and attempted to run out, but
Mary endeayored to stop him, on which he
seized her by the throat and attempted to choke
her. Mary, with great presence OF mind. dealt
him sudden blow with the knife, cutting hIs
cheek badly, when he let go his hold and es-
capped. An alarm was given by the servant,
and an officer responded promptly, and extin-
guished the hire before the engines arrived. The
wood with which the fire was builtwas found to
be saturated with kerosene, and but for Mary's
discovery and pluck, the house, which Ia OF fra
gle construction, would have been DESTROYED.
The police are endeayoring to arrest the incen-
diary.

A REMARKABLE HYDRoPHoBIA CAsHIN NEW
ORLRANs.-New Orleans b as just supplied re-
markable example of the power of Imagination
in the case of a prominent citizen of Carrollton,
in the suburbs of the city, who narrowly es-
capped death as a result OF his mental vagaries.
de had recently taken deep interest in hydro
phobis cases as developed in this city, and after
experimenting 1t by perusal Of a medical
work on the subject, he became seized with the
earlier symptoms of the disease. which became
go violent on the second day that the sight of
water or dog would throw him into repuIsive
commissions. He refused to eat or drink, had a
wild, haggard expression, a twitching of the
muscles and "the approach of fly would cause
him to cry out like one possessed On the
third dsy he partook OF some fruit and medicine
but snow white frOth appeared on his lips and
he continued to retain hydrophobic symptoms
until late in the night. On the following day
purgatives were administered, but the cOnvul-
siOns and tTitchings were renewed, saliva WAS
elected from the tongue and the skin was dry.
ChloToform was freely administered, and after
the fourth day he continued to improve until
the eighth day, when his left his room. This
case, which We have SO infinitely described from
the published report, is certainly one that will
be variable to the medical profession in deter
mining whether IL is possible for hydr0phobis to
result from mental excitement.-N. Y. Herald
TIE SEA CAPTAIN AND THE BUTCHER's
WEDOw.-A GAINESVILLE, Ohio, newspaper has
an interesting story to tell which only needs the
addition OF the names to make it perfect. Ac-
cording to this journal a wealthy sea captain of
Baltimore has brought snit against a married
lady now residing near GAINESVILLE, to recover
large amount of money-sbout thirty thOus-
and dollars, il is stated-aleged to have been
advanced to her some years ago under her
promise OF marriage to him. She was then a
young widow, her first husband having been a
Baltimore butcher who furnished his rival meat;
but its seems a Younger and handsOmer man
came along and carried her off without restor-
ing the sea captains money. The GAINESVILLE
paper says that for three days dispositions have
been taken before Dotaries there, both parties
being represented by Baltimore lawyers (Sharp
and Brown;) and adds that for a number Of
years the defendant has been living with her
present husband in affiuence and ease. 1t is
now in order for that wealthy sea captain who
would persecate a woman for such a small con-
sideration to come forward and explain.
