Pluck of q kentucky Woman.

Tailor Horsfall owns a wife who has
several times proved herself heroine,
and last night about eight O'Clock she
proved again that, although she Is a
woman, she Is better than some men for
all that Mr.. Horstall was away from
home; his wife heard peculiar kind OF
noise In the Jail. Suspicioning that some
thing was going crooked she seized a re-
volver and went to the front portion Of the
building, when she discovered that pris-
oners were Mt work on the inside Of the
wall, cutting a hole through the brick, for
the purpose Of etiecting nm escape, 1t
appears that there were seven of the pris-
oners at work. Marshal Locke and
Lieut. Cottingham had gone over to Gin
cinnati on certain affair pertaining to
their duty. The brave woman despatched
a boy for an officer, snd then standing at
the place they were working at, she told
the boys inside she would blow the brains
out Of the first one who would dare put
his head through the opening. The boys,
knowing that Mrs. Horsfall meant what
she said, ceased operations, and when
Deputy Marshal jackson arrived they
both entered aud drove the unruly creatures
back into their cells. Too much praise
cannot be awarded the brave woman for
the fearless part she took In the affair.
Had ID not been for her those seven prison
ers would doubtless all have escaped. -

The opening Of the Episcopal Semi
nary near Reno on Thursday morn
ing is the subject of the following ac-
count i'm the Evening Gazette OF the
! 10Th instant:
Thirty boarders had arrived and
| taken possession of their new home,
and some twelve day scholars were ON
hand this morning a: the assembly IN
| the main school room. Several visit
! ors and parents were also present when
the time arrived for the opening eXer-
cises. These consisted OF prayer, by
| Bishop Whitaker: singing, Nearer
NV God to Thee in which the young
| ladies joined. with much spirit.
Bishop Whitaker then delivered a
short address, welcoming both teach
ers and scholars to the facilities pro
vided for their use, and hoping that
they might all labor to make the new
home both pleasant and protltaoie.
He impressed upon the young ladies
the fact that they had a great mission
in view; they came not because thev
were sent. neither to obtain slnail
amount of French, or music. but TO mt
themselves for womanhood, to purity
the heart through culture of the mind.

the school.

OHIO.

The history of political contests in
Ohio during the past eight years is
matter of no little interest just now.
That State gave Grant majority OF
over 14,UOO in 1868. but in 1869 this fell.
on the election of Governor, to 1918.
In 1870 the republican Secretary of
State had majority of 1881. In 1871
the republican Governor had majority
of 1904. In 1872 the republican Sec
retary of State, in the October election.
was chosen BY only ~. 104 majority.
while in November the State gave Grant
"a, 2GS majority. In 1873 all this was
lost, and Governor Allen was elected by
S17 majority. In 1874 the democrats
elected their Secretary of State by
plurality of 1892 and majority over the
republican candidate of II ,202. In 1875
this majority was lost by the democrats,
and Governor Hayes carried the State
BY a majority of 5,544 votes. Thus 1t
will be seen that in two years We made
the very large gain of nearly $4,000
votes. We more than hold this gain
this year. It will be further observed
that Ohio has a way of .rebling her
October Republican majoritles III
November. We have carried everything
upon the State ticket, gained five or SIX
Coneressnen and elected a majority OF
the members of both houses Of the
Legislature. Senator Sherman sue
cessor will not be chosen until the
sitting of the Legislature of 1879.
Sherman's term runs until the 4th OF
March 1881. Ohio has % votes in the
Electoral College.
