SUIT AGAINST THE SOUTHERN METH
opIsr CuURCK.-A suit has been insti-
tuted in the United States Court at
Nashville, Tenn, by Reuben Wright
Of Fairfax county, Va, against the
Southern Methodist Church, for $40,
9S7.86, the amount alleged TO have
been loaned to preachers who estab-
lished schools and churches in the
Choctaw Nation. The plaintiffs bill
alleges that he was an Indian trader in
the Choctaw Nation in 1861, at which
time the Methodist Church, South sent
out number of persons to establish
manual labor school in that nation.
Wright claims that he advanced large
sums to these persons, and that at the
time the church ceased operations there
in 1863, it was indebted to the amount
of $4,000, for which sum. with other
moneys afterwards advanced, he is now
sung.

TERRIBLE MURpER-On Monday last
a startling rumor reached Parkersbnrg
Of y terrible murder near Kingwood,
Preston county. The story is that Mr;
Thorn had sold bis farm for $4,000, and
was preparing to leave next day for the
West with his family. A peddler hap
pened to call that evening who was an
acquaintance, and went out with Mr..
Thorn TO bid goodbye to some neigh
bors. On returning Thorn was sur
prised at light in the room where his
money was, and at seeing the figures of
men. On entering Mr.. Thorn was con
fronted by the dead bodies of bis wife
and daughter, and fell in swoon at
the sight. The peddler proceeded to
the room where the light was, and saw
three men counting ont the money. lie
sho. three loads from his revolver and
killed two of the men, and wounded the
other. One of the killed proved TO be
the brother-in-law to whom no had sold

A WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE
The other evening a well-known gentle
man of Pottsville bought a number OF
oysters at the Union Hall restaurant,
and proceeded to eat them raw. When
he came toa certain one he gave a look
at it and started back in amazement and
hoiror. And well he might, for the
oyster presented an appearance most
singular and unexpected. There. as
plainly as if drawn by painters pencil,
was the head and breast of woman.
The eyes, mouth, nose, breast, and gen
eral outline were as plain as plain could
be. The oyster was put in ice and
frozen. When we saw it next day it
had begun to thaw and had shrunk
somewhat, and then presented the ap-
pearance of female corpse, the skin OF
the oyster seeming to serve the pur-
pose of a shroud. The mouth was open
and appeared to have been drawn to
one side. The eyes were staring, and
altogether the effect was anything but
pleasant We never saw more cur
ious freak of nature than this, nor ever
heard of Miners Journal.

MIA. Stumps, transformed into sold
rock, stand in an upright position with
their roots imbedded in the soil, as when
growing, measuring from fifteen to
twenty-six feet in circumference; the
ground in the vicinity is strewn with the
trunks and limbs, which retain their nat
ural shape and size Mr.. Rideout, de-
termined to secure a section OF one Of
these trees for the Centennial Exhibition,
with two other men spent twelve days in
cutting ii from the stump This was &C.
complished by drilling all around the
tree and separating it with wedges. The
specimen is three feet high and eighteen
feet in circumference, and its estimated
weight is three tons. II stands on the
stump from which it was severed ready
to be loaded on a wagon. Mr.. Rideout
does not feel able to incur the expense
OF bringing it to the railroad, though he
had once made arrangements to do so.
He is anxious to call the attention Of
the Centennial Commissioners to the
matter, and see if they will not furnish
the means to get it to the railroad. The
country in which it is situated is an in.
