DEATH OF A CONVICT.

We learn that letter has been received in
this place from the superintendent of the pen
itentiary at Columbia, announcing the death
of John Benfeld, convict in that institution,
who was sentenced by the Circuit Court of
York county, over a year ago, for term OF
fifteen years, on conviction of burglary and
attempt at highway robbery.
JUDGE MACKEY'S SPEECH.
On the first page of this paper we present
full synopsis of Judge Mackey's speech in the
Court House at this place last Thursday even
ing. Taking Judge Mackey's public declara-
tions as test, he is "dreadfully in earnest"
for political reform in this State; but from
the tenor of his speech it will be seen that he
desires the reformation to be brought about in
the ranks of his own party. To this end his
speech was mainly addressed to the Republi-
cans present, and whether palatable to them
or not, it cannot be denied that his admoni.
tions on the score of reform, and especially
the desire of seeking office, were wise and
proper.

They have finally, after much tribulation,

There is absolutely nothing to bring out the re-
publican vote this year, except the
fortunes of individual candidates and

A Woman Instantly Struck Dumb.

The Leavenworth Kan Times of May
2:,d. relates the following A remarkable
occurrence took place in salt Greek Valley
day before yesterday. Mrs. Chapman.
wife of Samuel Chapman, of Pleasant
Ridge, went into thepasture adjoining the
house for the purpose Of catching horse
which she desired TO drive TO town with.
In less than half an hour she was seen
making her way back Ia the house waving
her arms above her head, and making all
sorts of ludicrouS gestures. Her husband.
who was standing on the porch. thought
il was remarkably strange, that his wife.
ordinarily so staid and dignfed. should be
acting so strangely, but took no further
notice Of her, surprising she was making
fun Of him. But when she finally reached
the house. a very serious natter was de
velopcd. and ali the strange actions fully
explained. The woman had by some un-
accountable means been struck speechless.
and has not, up TO last accounts. been able
to speak word or make known the cause
OF her misfortune. Ii is the general opin-
ion that the spell was either brought on
by fit. or some terrible fright viii b the
woman received while in the pasture. and
the nature of which her friends have as yet
been unable TO learn
