cal Lutheran Church.
NRAFrON, OelOber 2S, lSIl

Last evening missionary meeting was
held in the Lutheran Church Of misplace.
Dr.. Butler, Of Washington, D. g., read
the Goth chapter Of lsainh; DR.. StOrk, Of
Baltimore, offered prayer. Rev. s. SchOll,
OF Baltimore, was the first speaker. After
referring to the difficulty Of presenting
anything new upon a subject 20 well
known "a mission work, he treated in n
very pointed manner OF the practical fea.
lures Of the work. lie urged particularly
the grace Of giving and the duty Of the
Church to be satisfied with palmer houses
Ofworship aud using what might be saved
in this way for the cause Of missions.
Rev. $. DOmer, OF Washington, D. C.,
followed, dwelling earnestly upon the di-
vine character OF the missionary work;
liz being divinely appointed, having spec.
idi divine promises, and that although 1t
may seem somewhat slow in It's progress,
and discouraging from human stand
point, yet the whole matter is progress
Ing rapidly with Him TO whom "a thou
sand years are as one day." and who has
adopted the beat possible way for the ex-
tension Of His Kingdom.
The last speaker was Rev. j. A. Clutz,
Of Baltimore. lie dwelt especially upon
our Indebtedness to the heather, bnsing
his remarks upon the l4th verse Of The
first chapter Of Romans. All the exercises
were interspersed by spirited singing, led
by the choir Of the church, Mrs. Charles
H. Brundel presiding at the organ.
SECOND BUSINESS SESSION.
Business session opened at Slj this
morning, with devotional exercises.
Much routine business was transacted,
which is not of interest to the general
reader. The parochial reports presented
by the members Of the synod evince a
healthful condition Of affairs throughout
the congregations.
Tonight Sabbath School will be held.
Addresses will be delivered by Rev. ]. II.
Barclay and Rev. a. Graves, both Of bal.
timore. The exercises promise to be
very interesting. The Lutheran Churches
seem to be fully awake on the Sunday
School question. They have some Of the
finest Sabbath Schools In the country.

THE CASE OF WILLIAM M. TWEED.


New YORK, October SIN the Su-
preme Court, general term, Judges Davis,
Brady and Daniels to-day delivered an
opinion on the motion by TWeed's coun-
sci that on entering an order pursuant
to its recent decision confirming Judge
Barretts refusal TO vacate the order OF
arrest, the Court should allow defendant
TO answer the demurrer and take other
action as advised. The Court say that
the war olskirmishers in this case must
terminate by trial on its merits, This
they can and will compel. A contrary
course would open the way to dilatory
pleadings and Pvasivc motions, and mean
while defendant would be in Jail unjustly,
II innocent, and, il guilty, battling Justice
by using for that purpose the proceeds
OF his frauds. The Court gives defend
ant merely seven days to answer, which
will give plaintiffs time 10 notice the case
Tor trial next month.

A sTABBrNe AFFRAY,
More work Of the Bloody Knife.

More Work of the Bloody Knife.
On last Sunday morning about
nine o'clock a bloody stabbing at
fray occurred in this county q few
miles from town, near DR.. Butts
old place, 10 which white man by
the name of Bowman was danger
ously cut by man named John
Cole. 1t seems Cole on Thursday
night previous had misunderstood
ing with his wife, in which some
abuse was mingled. On Friday
B. I. Blackman, who is the father
of Coles wife, and Mr.. Bowman,
who is her uncle, went and removed
her and all of her household goods
over to Blackman's house. This &C
ton on their part SO incensed Cole
that he placed himself in ambush,
behind house, and on the approach
of Bowman, he suddenly sprang up
on him, knife in hand, inhicting
CHASTITY cash in his left side, fright
fully disemboweling him. Bowman
fell to the ground weltering in bis
own blood, and Cole at once fed.
As soon as our efficient Sheriff,
w. ?. Stephens, received the news
of the sad affray, he promptly done
what he could to effect his capture,
bat his efforts were fruitless, Cole
having too much the start of him.
DR.. Tennent arrived soon afterwards
and sewed up the CHASTITY wound,
which he thinks is of so dangerous a
nature as to admit of but little hope
of recovery. Blackman, Bowman,
and Cole, came to this county about
the first of January of the present
year from near Kingston, Barlow
county, Ca, and it is thought Cole
has gone back to bis old home. He
is about twenty years old, five fee;
and seven inches high, dark COM
plexion, and was shabbily dressed
when he left, having on SLOUGH hat,
brown coat, and new pair of coarse
boots.

A HOMICIDE.

A Man Shoots Another in Self Defense.
A terrible tragedy occ lrred in
FIVE miles of Dallas, Paulding coun-
ty, Ca, on last Friday evening, in
which John Martin was killed by
Marion Lindsey. On the evening
named Martin end a man named
McMicken approached Lindsey's
house front and rear and while in
the ward came near being bitten by
the watch dog. Lindsey attracted
by the noise went to the door and
was met by Martin face to face
Martin had his foot on the door step
and on seeing Lindsey, levelled his
gun at his head, and exclaimed:
SHOW, d-n you, I've got you" and
Immediately fred. Lindsey threw
his head behind the door and the
load of buckshot struck the ceiling
above his head. Lindsey then
reached for his double barrel gun,
loaded with squirrel shot, and fired
both barrels at Martin, lodging the
contents in his left breast. Martin
then broke and run and was found
next morning about 50 yards from
the scene of shooting, in the woods,
dead. The fellow McMicken, per-
ceiying that Martin was shot, broke
and run also, but Lindsey made him
come back and kept him in custody
about an hour and turned him loose.
Lindsey and Martin were brother
in-laws, aged about 30 years each,
and an old grudge existing between
the two about some land, accounts
for the attack made by Martin, who
had frequently before run Lindsey
from home, but this time his desper>
ate visit was met by a bloody re-
ception and termination of his ca
reer. Lindsey proposes to place
himself in the hands of the Sheriff,
but it being clearly case of self
defence, he will hardly be dealt with.

The Supper.


The Methodist supper which came
off Last Friday night, at Nichols
Hall, was largely attended. The
ladies with commendable spirit and
energy had left nothing undone to
add to the success of the supper and
entertainment of those present.
The hall was brilliant with beauty,
lovely faces and sparkling eyes, and
the sly Cupid welded his darts with
success. Taste and excellence was
also displayed in decoration of the
hall, which was beautifully trimmed
and festooned with evergreens, while
the walls were adorned with pictures
of art and beauty. The tables were
we'll arranged and beautifully laden
with viands the choicest, while pref"
ty and polite ladies done all they
could to please. A handsome sum
vas realized and the entertainment
was a SUCCESS 10 every point Of view.
