Loader and Price.

New YORK, July l6.-Joseph Loader, who
was indicted for perjury and slandering the
characters Of Rev. H. w. Beecher and Mrs.
E. r. Tilton, was brought before Judge Moore,
in Brooklyn, this a. H., and pleaded not guilty
to the Indictment Leaders COUNSEL stated
that he would not be prepared to try the case
before six or seven days, to which the court
answered that it would then be too near the
end of the term to take it up. The Judge
suggested that the District Attorney and the
counsel for the accused should confer together
as to suitable day to 90 to trial. 1t is thought
probable that the case will not be tried before
the September term. Jno. j. Price, who is
implicated with Loader, was not arraigned,
and it is corjectured that he will be used as a
witness against Loader, and all further pro-
ceedings against him will be dropped.

Washington Republican publishes the follow
ing under the head of "a miracle - Mrs
Lamb, wife OF MIR. Francis Lamb, manufactur-

Ing at No. 1912 Fourteenth street northwest,
has, tor the past thirteen years, been an iuva-
lid, and for nearly ten years of that period been
confined to her bed and deprived of the use of

them confessed being unable to prescribe the
medicine that would produce cure. 10 this
condition, unable to rise from her sick bed,
had she passed from year to year hoping
for the good time coming, when she would
be re endowed with strength and the use

quently with her and mingled their prayers
with hers for the desired change. A little
more than week ago she sent request to the
members of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation asking that they would make her con
dition the special object of their prayers that
she might be raised from lingering disease,
which had confined her 10 bed for nearly ten
years, and be restored to health. The request
was granted and the prayers made. A few
days afterwards, while lady friend was writ
ing, she couversed Of her religious feelings and
said that she believed she would soon leave the
sick bed; in fact, she believed that she could
walk at that time Strange as it may apoear
Mrs. Lamb, confident Of her ability to walk,
rose from her bed and in her stocking feet actu-
ally walked across the room, and returning sat
down 10 chair. Further questioning as to
what had caused her sudden and miraculous
Improvement the sick lady replied that she
sincerely believed it to be the result of con.
slant. faithful prayer to Heaven for the better
ing of her condition, and that the prayers had
been answered. The fact of Mrs Lamb hav-
log got up and walked soon spread, and many
friends visited the house 10 see her and con-
graduate the family on the happy change. In
the evening prayer meeting was held, at
which she related her feelings before and since
walking, and believed that the change was per.
maneut. The following Sunday, so much had
she improved that she rode in a carriage to the
Mount Zion Church. fifteenth and r. streets
northwest, Rev. Mr. McKenDy, pastor, and at
tended divine service. Since that time other
prayer meetings have been held, and she is No.

giving to God for raising her up and making
her whole. She believes that it will not be
many days ere she has become perfectly sound
and healthy. At present she experiences some
trouble in walking, her feet being very tender
from want of exercise. The case is strange
one, and attracts much consideration and talk
among the church people.

The RAIN LAST NIGHr The rain which
visited Alexandra only to the extent of slight
shower last evening seems to have been heavy
storm all around us. To the South and West
to within a few miles of town, the water descend
ed in torrents On the North. Washington was
deluged, the water doing considerable damage,
and eastward along the line of the Baltimore &
Potomac Railroad, the food was so heavy as to
hit, in some cases, the entire road bed, wash
away embankments, &c. The river is very
muddy to-day, showing heavy rains above.

FAR-OFF FoRTUNE.-A rumor has been in
circulation for sometime to the effect that Mr..
j.. Silicks, of this city, was the heir to con-
siderable fortune, which came to him 90 the
death of some English relatives, and that Mr..
George E. French, of this city, was the guard
ian Of the lad. The rumor can be traced to no
satisfactory source, and it is certain that Mr.
French has no ward named Sillicks.
