A Remark able Case.

A very remarkable case, showing the in
fluence of mind over matter,was illustrated
at Mingaut Valley, N. Y, on Saturday. A
peddler entered the dwelling of citizen,
and endeavored to sell some of his wares to
the lady of the house. In the course of
the conversation she remarked that her
husband, who was in the next room, was a
cripple and had not been able to move from
his bed in many years. On learning this
the peddler made dastardly assault upon
the lady, who struggled with him bravely,
but was about to be ovcrpowered when, by
superhuman effort, the husband leaped
from the bed, seized crutch and felled the
scoundrel to the ground. Reaction imme-
diately set in, however, and having saved
his wifes honor, he fell to the floor dead.
The peddler escaped and great excitement
prevails in the neighborhood. The whole
affair reads almost like romance of chiv-
airy, when men laid down their lives for
ladye faire.

obituary..

Harlow Hosford, Esq, prominent citi-
zen of Poultncy, died on Wednesday last, of
cancer from which he has been great
sufferer for several years. He was a son of
Isaac Hosford, Esq. one of the earlier
settlers OF the town, and for many years
its town clerk, and brother of the late
Harris Hosford Of Center Rutland. Mr..
Hosford, Tor many years, was landlord of
the Eagle Hotel, at East Poultney. He
had been justice of the peace for more
than quarter of century, and was several
years deputy sheriff, also from time to time
held many leading town offices. Mr.. Hos
ford was man of ready intelligence having
been all his life great reader, keeping
posted in reference to politics and current
events. He was the patron of Horace
Greeley in his youth, furnishing him with
books and other reading, furnishing all the
means of information in his reach. Mr..
Greeley boarded in Mr.. Hosford's family
during portion of his apprenticeship in
the Office of the Northern Spectator. He

and his family with filial affection, and
frequently visited them, spending days at
their house, and ever spoke to others with
great feeling of their kindness to him when
a friendess youth.
Mr.. Hosford was in religious views a
Campbellite, or as they are sometimes
called, 'Christians," and frequently
preached to vacant churches in his later
life. He had a large circle of friends who
will regret to hear of his death and painful
sufferngs from lingering disease.
Many friends will learn with sorrow of
the death OF the amable wife of Dr. L. d.
Ross, which also occurred on Wednesday
last She was for many years a music
teacher and had wide acquaintance. The
friends of DR.. Ross tender their sincere
coincidence in this hour of bereavement,
which has taken from his home an agree
able companion, faithful wife and de-
voted mother.
Miss Sarah Boyce, young lady who has
been for many years successful school
teacher, also died on the same day of Mr.
Hosford and Mrs. Ross. The Poultney
Journal says that the instance of four per
sons lying dead at the same time never be
fore occurred in the history of the town.

Terrible Ravages of Forest Fires.

New YORK, Oct. 81.
A Cincinnati special has accounts of
fires in the western forests. On Thursday,
at Crestline, great alarm was felt least the
fire from the woods on the west would
cross the corporation line ond communicate
with the town. The citizens remained up
all night and fought the flames, which they
at last got under control by telling immense
quantities of timber.
Great excitement prevails in Logan, for
fear that the forest fires would destroy that
place. At New Lexington, camp-meeting
buildings were destroyed by fires that al
most enveloped the place, but fortunately
could not approach nearer than two miles,
for want of fuel, but at last accounts,
several habitations scattered through the
country were threatened.
At Cambridge, the woods are burning
fiercely in four different places, and threat
en- to destroy the trestle work. At Dodson
sparks from a passenger train ignited a
pile of wood, and the wind drove the flames
through the woods and fields, destroying a
large quantity of cord wood, many valr-
able fences and an enormous quantity of
harvest corn. The region of Kenton was
also swept by forest fire that destroyed
large quantities of corn, fences and farm
buildings.
AT Ironten, forest fires destroyed inn
mense quantities of valuable timber. This
is the iron region of southern Ohio, and
the loss is serious on account of cutting
short the timber intended for making char.
coal for the manufacture of iron.
| At Bellefontaine, the farm house, out
buildings and the entire crop Of wheat OF
John Horn were destroyed, the forest fire:
having communicated by beds of faller
leaves which the winds had swept along thu
ground like train of gunpowder. Hi
loss Is $4,000.
The citizens of Geneva, near Cleveland
turned out en- masse to fight the forest fires

Senator Conkling on the Western EIec.

New York, Nov. /.
Senator Roscoe Conklng delivered an
address to the republican mass meeting in
the Brooklyn academy of music Friday
night. In the course of his remarks he
said that the elections in Indiana and Ohio
we're recently carried by the rant and din
and roar of suspicion against the authori-
ties, and the uneasy dstrust which carps
and signs for change. These two states
have been made TO declare not only for
watering and debasing the currency, but
for regulating the nations plighted faith,
cheating the public creditors out and out.
This has gone over to Europe, to every
money centre on the globe, as the real pur-
pose of great body of American people
and this too, at time when we are Dor
rowers in the markets of the world, seek
ing to negotiate our obligations at lower
interest SO as to refund our debt. Such is
the base and brazen message which the
men in Ohio and Indiana send greeting to
the east. What does the democracy of
New York say 10 it? Cannon thunder
their applause. A hundred guns have been
fired for this inglorious achievement where
ever democrats could get trusted for the
powder. The country is to pay an in.
creased rate of interest for these victories
as we have paid heretofore for the evangel
of reputation, declared . in democratic
conventions

was recalled and his cross-examination was
continued by Mr.. Davidge. He said he
never was engaged in any illegal or dis
reputable business until he went to Wash
ington for the secret service division. Sey-
eral extracts from congress committee re-
ports were read and the witness was asked
if he did net swear to such things. Hayes
said he did not that there were several
mistakes in that report as to dates; wit
ness had studied them very thoroughly.
Mr.. Davidge-Well now, Hayes, you
behave yourself, or you will be made to do
1t, or the court will take hold of you.
Judge HumpVreys-Well, Mr.. Davidge,
the witness has right to protect himself.
Mr.. Davidge-Not by impudence, your
honor.

Bismarck to the count were distracted from
the archives of the Paris legation;a portion
of them were confded to the care of the
under-secretary with instructions to keep
himself out of the way. He remained con-
cealed until Won Arnim's arrest, and
six weeks ago he started for New
York, and proceeded thence to Kan
sas City, where he remained for two weeks.
At the expiration of that time he came to
St. Louis, where he arrived ten days ago.
When Won Arnim was admitted to bail he
pledged himself to secure the return of the
under secretary, and also of the papers in
his possession, and furnished Bismarck
with the clue to his whereabouts. Bis
marck dispatched to the German officials
at Washington and they communicated
with Lonergan here. He Immediately put
himself in communication with the I'M
der secretary, who only demanded
that the request for his return
should come from Won Arnim. Upon
being satisfied that it was his masters
wish, he consented to go back to Berlin.
He had left the papers and letters in
charge of "A German merchant in New
York. On Wednesday night he left St.
Louis for the east, arriving in New York

to conceal the affair, but it has leaked out

THE NATIONAL GAME.



The return match at base ball between
the respective mines of THE GLOBE and

the grounds of the Dexter club AS dem
onstrated by the score given below, THE
GLOBE nine were victorious by rousing
majority. The latter nine were all out this
time ard frantic for the fray. They WELD
ed the bat with desperation known only
to those who had suffered defeat and must
retrieve their reputation. They were in
vincble IN all the points of the game, and
walked away with their former victors with
an air of superiority which was fit sub
ject for admiration on the part of the null
titude who were spectators and for the eu-
logy of the most gifted of baseball re-
porters.
The only accident that occurred to mar
the serenity of the occasion was the unex-
pected and painful amputation of the small

burly pitcher of the Herald nine, who was

he has frequently in attempting the form

when it was thrown at him were witnessed
with great interest and amusement by all
lookers-on. 1t was as ridiculous as 1t was
