saloon on Wineow street, Cumberland, on
Monday evening, where he got into diff
Guilty with man called Stony, who was in
charge of the saloon at the time, and who en-
deavored to eject Mahany, when the latter re-
sisted. and in the struggle drew knife and
plunged it into the abdomen of Stony, inf1ct-
ing CHASTITY wound, from which the bowels
protruded, and which was pronounced OF a
dangerous, if not fatal character. Mahany
made his escape.
The Easton Ledger gets off sympathizng
article on the death of Mr.. NJ. 7. Gugg.
The gentleman was in town on Wednesday
evening, and meeting number OF old ac-
auaintances, he soon became full of whiskey.
In turning corner, Mr.. Gugg was thrown
out with such force as to break his neck and
arm, and was complete mass of ruins. This
is the success local option meets with in Eas-
ton. Mr. Gugg needed no funeral, his former
friends not relishing such dryness.
A steer belonging to Mr.. John Keilholtz,
living near Rising Sun, which died in the
beginning of August last, still remains with
out sign of decomposition, nor has been dis
turbed by buzzards or dogs. Mr.. Ksiholtz
thinks the animal was bitten by mad dog,
which may account for the singular preserva-
tion.- Cecil Democrat.
In the Cecil county Court, last week, Geo.
Banks and John Reese were convicted of the
robbery of the store of Whitlock Bros, of
Aberdeen, in Hartford county. Three other
parties indicted as aecomplices were acquitted.
1t is understood that there were fourteen in
dctments against the five men before the
court.
The dead body of Joseph Brice, colored,

| to the severe cold.

same district, l34 acres, by Sheriff n G..
Fitzgerald for $2,925.
| DEsTITUTIoN AT PoRT Deposit. The dis
astrous food, at Port Deposit has caused
much destitution among the inhabitants. 1t
is proposed to raise a fund in Baltimore for
relief of the sufferers, and the necessities of
the case will, no doubt, elicit generous con-
| trbutions.
The farm of Mr. Thomas L. Compte, near
Horns Point, Dorchester county, containing
| l9l acres, was sold last week to Mr.. George
White, of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, for $4, 250,

THE PRAYER TEST.

The vexed question with religious
journals like the Pioneer Press just now,
is whether or not the prayers and fast
ings of the Missourians on certain
day awaited to drive away the grasshop-
pers. It is true that on.that day they
left in great numbers. But it is said by
the skeptical that they had been going
for y day or two before; that it was
about the time they would naturally
leave, if left to themselves; and that
there are still enough left to do great
damage to crops.
So our friend Tyndall will he disap-
pointed in this, we suppose, as prayer
test. TO have made the test complete
and satisfactory to the skeptical, we
judge, two things would have been nec-
cessary, viz: H. that the grasshoppers
should have risen on the day of fasting
and prayer, without wings, and flown
away to the deserts where they could
not injure anybody; and, IT, that the
skeptic should have witnessed the mir
acle with his own eyes and not be COM
PEELED to take hearsay evidence.
We suppose, also that Christian men
will continue to apply the prayer test
daily in their own individual affairs
and will believe in the efficacy of pray
er to the end, knowing the truth or the
falsity of the doctrine because they
have tested it.
