SHOCKING CASE OF SUIcIDE.-On Thursday
morning last Charles Flack, a well known and
respected citizen of Buckingham, living on
the Gainesville road, short distance from
the Durham road, committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. Mr.. Flack arose that morn
ing, as usual, between five and six o'clock,
and after going down stairs he called his
wife's attention to rail that was down along
the corn field on the opposite side of the road
from the house. He then started across the
road, as he said, for the purpose of putting
up the rail- Mrs. Flaek meanwhile attending
to some duties about the house. A few
minutes after she observed her husband stand
ing in the middle of the road in a STOPPING
position, and fearing that something wa,
wrong she ran to him. She was Mortified to
find him bleeding at the throat, and that he
had razor in his hand. She at once seized
his arm, but he transferred the razor to his
other hand and drawing the sharp edge across
his throat with much force, inflicting a fright
full cash, severing, as subsequent investiga-
ton showed, the large blood vessels and wind
pipe. He sank down in the road and expired
in few minutes. The feelings Of the poor
woman who was by his side, and witness of
this shocking spectacle, can well be imagined.
Some of the neighbors soon arrived and the
body was carried into the house, and the
wound was dressed by DIR. Dckie. Mr..
Flack it appears had been in melancholy
state of mind for some time past, yet without
any apparent cause, although it was not known
outside of his immediate family. He had been
unusually depressed for few days previous
to the sad occurrence 1t was q sad blow to
his family and other relatives, and much SYM
pathy isfelt for the bereaved ones in their
great affliction. Mr.. Flack was brother-in-
law of Alfred II. Barber and Jos. Harvey, Of
Doylestown, and was well known and much
esteemed in the community. The news of
his tragical death was cause os surprise and
sorrow to all.

Empty sleeves and wooden legs, says an ex-

Empty sleeves and wooden legs says an ex-
change, are a great offense in Democratic
eyes. Governor Allen is particularly angry
at Ex-Governor Noyes for going around on a
wooden leg, and the latter responds that il
Aliens DcmocratIc-rebel friends in Georgia
will restore him the old leg he had when he
went down there to fight them, he will cheer
fully surrender the wooden one. The sight
of these wounded soldiers reminds Allen OF
the time when he wore n butternut colored
suit Of clothes and went around through
Ohio abusing " Lincolns hirelngs." 1t is an
unpleasant reminder, certainly, but how is it
to be helped? The man who has lost an arm
or leg In putting down a rebellion which
Allen and Pershing and Piolett did their best
to promote is not yet under obligations to
hide the fact from public view, whatever ho
may hereafter be compelled to do. s e|es

Attorney General Vanatta has given an
opinion that woman cannot hold Office in
this State. The opinion embraces many of
the views expressed in the decision of the
United States Supreme Court several months
ago on the same question. A woman may be
a citizen and yet be debarred from certain
privileges specially conferred on men BY stat
ute. The State possesses the right to deter
mine what persons shall vote and under what
conditions. The statues expressly contain the
word "he y In relation to the Office in ques-
ton, and in no instance is the word "she to
be found.

considerable trouble at the deep cut at
Brownsville. The cut is about 40 feet deep,
through clay, and since the rains has shown a

VIcToRy AT LAsT.-At special school
meeting, held at this place last evening, 1t
was resolved to build new school house
forty by twenty -four feet twelve-foot posts,
and to be filled-in with brick. The meeting
was largely attended seventy votes were
polled, and forty majority for a new building.
The Trustees were appointed committee
to ascertain the probable cost. An attempt
was made to appoint building committee,
but it was tabled and the meeting adjourned.
THE FArR--The Hunterdofi CO. Fair held
at Pennington last week was about all that
could be expected under the present manage
ment. The display Of stock and machinery
was trife below that Of last year, and the
attendance on tho first two days rather slim,
from the fact that but few people knew when
the fair was to be held, but on Thursday
there was quite liberal turnout, the thing
having been noised about. The special police
were kept constantly upon the alert in order
to protect life and maintain order, SO much SO
that when the Commodore whose "going,"
"going," is familiar to every body, went to
his carriage to refresh the inner-man with
the good things which he had brought with
him, he found to his horror that not only his
dinner but his great coat also was "going,"
going, gone" Blind Tom and several other
trotters went mile in about half an hour and
carried off the liberal premiums of several
dollars, while some exhibitors of sheep and
swine trotted the judges of those departments
around tho grounds by the coat-tail at much
quicker gait and covered themselves with
glory. Mount Airy carried off the laurels of
hogishness, which is not at all to be wondered
at, and would have been bull of the woods
had it not been for little pfevaricating on
the age of the animal. Truth is Q mighty
power at Pennington and if the Managers
were possessed of the same amount of energy
and enterprise as were those Judges, the
Pennington Fair would be one of the best,
but SO long as it is controlled by dead men,
who dc not even let people know when it is
to be held, to say nothing of the unremuner-
alive premiums which thcy seem to be
ashamed to publish, the thing must drag
along through penny wisdom into dollar fool
ishness, and after few years be placed upon
file as one of the played-out concerns.

CLEVELAND, May 22.-The Presbyte-
rian General Assembly met this morning
at o'clock. After devotional exercises
and routine business Rev. J. G.. Noble, OF
New Jersey. introduced the following
resolution, which was referred to the
committee
Resolved. that the continuous, persist
ent and repeated efforts made by the
Papists throughout the country, under
the tutilage, direction and advice OF the
Papal hierarchy. to obtain control OF the
school funds in the several States OF the
Union or to have portion of said school
fund diverted from the legal and legiti-
mate uses to which said funds are pledged,
In order to devote the money to the sup
port of the Papali.tic schools, demand
from all Protestant Christians OF every
denomination and every citizen of the
United States opposed TO the union of the
Church and State resolute, determined
and combined effort and unceasing
watchfulness to prevent the success OF
the insidious attempts now being made In
all sections of the country by the Papacy
to secure the control of the school money
and il is hereby recommended by the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church. that all attempts to suDvert on
school laws or divert any portion OF The
various school funds in any Of the State
In the United States, to or for the use o
any clarch or section should be resiste,
and prevented by all legal and honorable
means.
Resolved, that the outcry of the papa
hierarchy against what they call our God
less schools, can with far more iustic
and greater propriety, be applied to tn
schools they have instituted In the CON
mon schools of our country the pure wor
of God is read without comment, while il
papistical schools, the Bible is exclude
and the dogmas and traditions of me
are substituted for the commandments G
