AN Englishman-raveIcd, of course -Ielates that an American gentleman who had at an early day gone the over land route to California, told him this We crossed the sand-hills near the scene of the Indian mail robbery and massacre of 1856, wherein the driver and conductor perished, and also all the passengers but one. But this must have been a mistake, for at different times afterWard on the Pacific Coast l was personally acquainted with a hun dred and thirty-three or four people who were wounded during that mas sacre, and barely escaped with theiI lives. There was no doubt of the truth of it-I had 1t from their own lips And one of the parties told me that he kept coming across arrOw-heads in his system for nearly seven years after the massacre"

Send or Tell us the News.

If there is anything 8 newspaper man wants in preference to th e amounts due him on account, 1t is news of interest. Men who have such news and could give it without any inconvenience, usually grumble most If 1t does not appear in the local paper and perhaps they are the only ones who knew of 1t and they would not imPart 1t. Many cases of this exact kind are in our knowledge. Men who rush around, work hard, discover @ promising mine or do some other thing likely to benefit a whole community, think tlcir efforts worth public recognition. 0n general pr1in- ciples they are, and we are always glad to print them, but in nearly every instance of the kind, no report is made to the editor or any one con- nected with him. We have spent hours to trace up with some degree of exactness, a report of apparent value for publication, when the man who knew all about it passed us or our of flee more than once and did not offer to tell his story. This applies to nearly all classes of business men, many of whom often act as if they deemed inquiries more or less impu- dent. Under the best circumstances, it is a very difficult task to make complete local paper, and utterly inn possible without much information from the people among whom it is published.
 We want to note progress in mining discoveries, development and pro ducts, quantities of gold dust and sil- yer or other bullion produced and bought or shipped away condition of crops and yield of them; number and kinds of domestic animals brought into the Territory and particularly this section, by whom, cost and condi- tion; additions to population by births or immigration marriages and deaths movements of freight trains of new buildings and projected ones, etc. These are all matters mainly of @ private character. There are mol public records of them as of official proceedings of public affairs. If the il. t.i ',.....1 ., .1o 24asV the facts col.- nected with them, will not report them, 1t will often happen that no publication will be made, or but in perfectly if at all Ii IS we'll enough to now and then remind the people that if they would have @ complete local paper, they have duty to per form as we'll as the editor.

THE New York Herald says: Ii Is estimated by those who claim tc have opportunities for forming correct conclusions on the subject that at least fifty thousand people from the Pacific coast will visit the Eastern States dur ing the Centennial year. That date will be most suspicious for home reun- ions, and the great mass of our people still look Eastward for the full sig influences and meanings of that word.

ment; the arguments in this case were con

Richardson VS.. Sheppard, demurrer to bill in

property argued and held sub curia.
S. Herzberg VS.. Geo. Quick and wife ct al,
in equity. The question involved in this case
arose on an attachment against r. r. Boar

ry to order Tor injuncton) of court, as alleged,
restraining the sale, the attachment being de-
signed simply to raise the question of the right
to SELL 1t seems that Quick and wife entered
into bond of conveyance with Herzburg for
their property, receiving 800 to bind the bar
gain. Subsequently Quick and wife mortgaged
the property in question to the Maryland Land
and Building Association of Baltimore city for
$4,000, as alleged, the latter claiming the
transaction to be bona fide, and without notice of
the previous contract. In default of payment
this association obtained a decree for the sale
of the mortgaged premises. bill of injunc-
ton was obtained by Herzberg restraining the
trustee from selling the property on the ground
of alleged collision and fraud as between the
mortgagors and mortgage. The mortgage in
the meantime was assigned by the Maryland
Land and Building Association to the Wood
berry Land Company of this county. This
company, by purported amended bill, was
made party to the suit at Herzberg's instance,
without any saving clause as to the I'M JUNCTION
restraining the sale of the mortgaged premises.
After hearing arguments on the part of coun-
sci, the court decided that the amendment was
NOT merely formal. lint material. and there be
ing no saving clause of the injunction the same
was dissolved as against the assgnees. The
attachment of course, was quashed. This
property was to have been sold on the 7th, but
another injunction was obtained by Herzberg
restraining the sale.

A FAITHFUL MEssENGER.--The Pittsburg
Leader of 18th inst. says: "Shortly after three
o'clock this morning, G. ii. Price, messenger
of the Adams Express Company on the P, Fit.
w. & G. Il. R., was on his way to this city with
his car attached to the Pacific Express, which
arrived here this afternoon. He had just fixed
his fire in the car, as the train was about La
fayette, Ohio, 253 miles from this city, when he
was startled by seeing man jump into the
car. The man was masked, and, rushing up
to him. demanded his KEYS. Mr.. Price jump
ed up, and selling his revolver ran to the far
end of tie car. The robber pulled out re-
volver and fired twice at him. The first ball
Price warded off by his left arm, making a
flesh wound on the arm, and, glancing off, shot
up and took small piece out Of his check.
The second ball made wound on Prices left
shoulder. The shots were fired in rapid sue
cesson, and as soon as Mr.. Price could get his
revolver in position he fired. The shot did
the work. The ball struck the robber the
forehead above the left eye, killing him in
stantly. Price informed the train hands, and
the body was brought as far as Crestline, where
Mr.. j. Mclean took charge of the "run." At
Crestne the body was turned over to the cor
oner.
GAS stated, the robber, as he entered the car,
was masked. A removal of the mask after he
was shot dead, developed that he was former
employee of the Fort Wayne road. His name
was Hiram Buckley, and he was employed on
the road as the conductor of freight train ,
but was discharged about year ago for rob
bling wrecked train. He was married man,
and lived at Fort Wayne, Ind"

EXTRAORDINARY LAWSUIT IN DELAWARE
Henry Stout, member of the Kent county
bar, and prominent citizen, died about ten
years ago, leaving three children, two of them
sons, in whose behalf W. L. Cannon, their
guardian, brings this suit, and a daughter,
with considerable real estate to be divided
equally amongst them. The daughter about
five years ago married Rev. II. r. Hall, of
Lewes, and having lived about year after
marriage, died in giving birth to her first
child.
Now the simple question is "Was the child
born alive?" If it was, her husband, Rev. Mr..
Hall, who is the real defendant in the suit
will hold her real estate and enjoy its profits,
as tenant by courtesy" during his life. But il
the babe was not alive, he has no rights as its
heir, and Mrs. Halls share of her fathers
property goes to her two brothers, the boys
who are plaintiffs in the suit. 1t consists of a
handsome mansion on "Dover Green" and a
farm about three miles east of the town, the
rental value of both being some $500.
The case is plain one. But am informed
that the evidence will show that it involves a
recently raised nicely ofmedical jurisprudence,
namely, "What is life?" For the defence there
was quite q number of medical witnesses, in
Guiding the two physicians who attended Mrs.
Hall in her confinement, several eminent
members of the profession, summoned as eek
perts" from Philadelphia, and several Will
mington practitioners.

A PIGEON RAcE.-A few days ago Thomas
Grist, of Philadelphia, and well known bird
fancier of this city made a match to fly a pair
of Antwerp pigeons between this city and
Philadelphia for $3.50 side. Articles of agree
ment were signed and forfeit posted, and the
match will take place on or about the 5th Of
June. In the meantime each of the gentle
men interested in the match are engaged in
preparing their pigeons. The birds are train
ed in the following manner Every morning
the Baltimore fancer leaves President Street
Depot and goes ten or fifteen miles into the
country. The birds, nine in number, are then
turned loose and allowed to return to the city
A man here carefully notes the difference in
the time of their arrival, and each morning
the birds are taken further away, until at the
last the entire distance between here and Phil
adelphia has been gone over. The record of
each bird from different points on the route is
carefully computed, and in this way the best
flyer is selected. The match is the first of the
kind ever held in Baltimore, and consequently
bird fanciers are greatly interested Baltimore

Mr.. BEEcHERs INCOME AND OUTGo.- Mr.
Beecher's financial transactions are very OBJ
scure. He receives a salary of $4,000 per
year as minister; he is part owner of the
Christian Union newspaper he is volumin-
Gus author, having written over thirty books
he obtains very large fees for performing mar
riage ceremonies, and he says that he made
$4,000 on one lecture trip. For contributing
to Bonner's Ledger, and other journals, Mr.
Beecher is said to receive several thousand
dollars per annum. We have frequently heard
his friends say that his yearly income has
been from $4,000 to 900 per annum. Now
if he only saves his salary from Plymouth
Church and spends the remainder of his in
come, he would have been able to lay aside
$500, 900 in ten years, not counting some $l4,
600 interest to be added to the principal. Yet
two years ago he mortgaged his house for S.,
| 900. Of course his manner of keeping &C
counts and dealing in financial matters is OF
| the deepest interest to every American, who

ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-On Satur-
day nightlast dairyman named David Wolfe,
at Friendship, Yord road was assaulted on the
York road, just outside of the city limits. Mr.
Wolfe was on his way home when he was
stopped in the road by man who asked the
time. He took out his watch, when the man
struck him powerful blow on the side OF the
head with some weapon, which knocked him
senseless to the ground, inficting at the same
time bad wound on the side Of the head
The effort of the highwayman to rife Mr.
wolfe's pockets and tear the watch from the
chain to which was securely fastened reused
Mr.. Wolfe to consciousness, and he struggled
with the man, at the same time calling loudly
for help. His cries alarmed the highwayman'
and were heard by persons living in the vicin-
ity. Those who looked out when the first cries
were heard state that two men, thought to
be white, were seen running up the road. Mr.
Wolfe was carried to his home, and DR.. Hoen
dressed his injuries. 1t was found that his
head was badly hurt the weapon used having asssr0
bv which probably saved his life. His Shout
der was also severely injured by the fall.
