the owner OF the land where the quartz was dis
covered, for which he paid 81, ZOO in April last.
He associated with him several mining experts,
and from report just made it appears that four

by the Grand Jury for an alleged attempted
outrageous assault on Miss Elizabeth Hunt,
two months ago, near Woodberry, came up on
Wednesday before Judge Yellott. The accused
was present in court, was also Miss Hunt
Richard j. Cuttings appeared for the prosecu-
ton, with the States Attorney. Cornelius was
represented by Messrs R. R. Boarman and w.
Frank Mitchell. The attorneys for the traver-
ser filed IN affidavit to the effect that the moth
er of Cornelius was i'll and would not be able
to attend for several days, and that the accused
did not feel justified in going to trial until she
had recovered sufficiently to attend and testi-
fly. They proposed to show by this witness
that Cornelius, on the night of the alleged as
sault, went to his home at II o'clock and told
his mother that he and Miss Hunt had been at
tackled by four men, and wanted to awaken his
father and brother in order to go to the aid of
Miss Hunt, but that the mother objected to his
calling his father and brother, and kept him in
the house for quarter of an hour before she
would consent to his doing so.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT--LEG BRoKEN.-On Mon
day last laborer named Patrick Welsh, whilst
at work in the ore mines at Oregon Furnace,
Sth district, met with very serious accident.
1t seems that large lump of ore became de-
tached some distance up the side of the bank,
and falling, struck the unfortunate man on the
left leg below the knee, breaking the bones so
that they protruded through the skin. Welsh
now lies in a critical condition at his home
near by. He has large family depending up
on him for support and the blow will be severe
ly felt by them.

den. practicing physician, died at his resi-
dence, on the York road, short distance be-
low Govanstown, at an early hour on Tuesday
morning last. in the 3Sth year of his age. The
american of Wednesday says: "Dr. Brogden
had been confined to his house for five or six
months past with a complication of diseases
that defed the treatment of the best medical
skill, but his death was nevertheless quite sud-
den and unexpected. He was a son Of the late
William Brogden, of Anne Arundel county, and
was in the 38th year of his age. During the
war he served faithfully and efficiently in the
Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, and
it was the exposure and toll in the service that
plan ted the seeds of disease in his constitution.
DR.. Brogden was peculiarly gentleman of ge-
NAL temperament, making friends amongst all
with whom he was brought into contact, and
winning the sincere admiration and confidence
of those who knew him we'll. In his profession
he occupied an enviable position, and was wide
ly known in the neigh borhood of his home for
bis skill and kindness to the afflicted"
