JACKSONVILLE, Owe had a very la
spell of spelling here last night. The
teacher OF the public schools, Mr.. L. A.
Knight, offered two prizes to the contest
ants. This drew all the spoilers, good
and bad, Of this place, as well as from
the surrounding country. 1t is q strange
fact thai the poorest spoilers will always
push themselves forward in contest OF
this kind, while those who are really
good enter them with great difidence.
It turned our that there were no good
spoilers outside Of MadisonviIle in at
tendance at our match, although ali the
school teachers for miles around were
there. Miss Shumard, a pupil Of l.. A.
Knight, captured the first prize, and Mrs.
DR.. Marsh carried of the second. All
our people carry one OF Henkle's Test
Spoilers with them constantly. AT

lesson. 1t is an innocent amusement,
and is less offensive than going to sleep
in church.

AURORA, IND.-From the testimony
taken at the liminary'examination OF
HaitseH Abbott, which took place yes
terday before Squire Carson, of Dills-
borough, charged with an attempt at
rape upon Miss Kate Clements, on the
night of Line 22d, just after returning to-
gether from spelling match at Suits
SCuOOl-uOu5cs VIC lcdIu budb L1G dlIcRSu
attempt occurred while Kate was sitting
upon the knee of Abbott ON her fathers
porch, within twenty feet of the room in
which the father was supposed to be
sleeping. The old gentleman was far
from sOmnolent.
He witnessed the proceedings of the
young couple quite a while, when they
were interrupted by a wagon on the road,
which would pass by them within q few
feet. At this juncture she jumped from
his lap, and at the same time out popped
|'Kate's father armed with q shotgun, at
full cock, which he pointed at the young
fellow, as if to shoot him on the spot.
With the presence OF mind highly COM
mendable under such trying circum-
stances, Abbott kept Katie between him
and the. e.irate sire, and marched her along
close enough to reach out and wreSt the
gun away from him, which he did.
Then he cooliy brushed the cap off,
handed the weapon back and told him to
shoot. Next morning old man Clements
went over to the father of Abbott snd
offered TO hush the matter up for two
hundred dollars. The elder Abbott
couldn't see it, and told him to sue, which
he did, and the accused was bound over
in the sum of $500 TO appear for trial on
the fourth Mondayin April. He was ably
represented by Hugh d. McMuilen, of
this place.
