Mrs. Cameron, of Hillern, Canada, is
entitled to place among the brave women
Of the world. A few days ago she seized
the ring IN the nose Of an Infatuated bull
while in the act Of goring and trampling
her husband, and led the animal to an adj,
joining field. She then carried her hus.
to the house in her arms, but he was dead.

The Republican theory of a natural and

population exceeds the white will not work

is notorious fact that in the late campaign
the Democratic ticket had large negro

The cause of the Cuban Insurgents
appears to be looming up in its own
peculiar way. Besides reported victory
near Puerto Principe comes an announce
ment of the capture on the high seas Of
the Havana and Porto Rico steamer
Montezuma by eleven passengers" who
embarked at Puerto Plata. This exploit,
unfortunately, was accompanied by the Kill
ling of the captain, first mate, first engineer
and supercargo. The other passengers Of
the steamer were landed at Romero Key,
Cuba, and the steamer put TO sea and has
not been heard Of since.

SEND US NEws.-We doubt il there is n
section of this county in which there does not
weekly occur some item of interest which
passes unnoticed. This should not be the
case, and We again request our readers
throughout the county to send us the news of
their respective localities. Incidents which
may seem trivial to the section in which they
occurred prove intensely interesting 10 your
friends and acquaintance elsewhere with
whom our paper circulates. There is, we are
aware, dislike, with many, to write for a
paper, fearful of errors in composition, &c.
10 such we would say, put this feeling aside,
and write us the facts just as you would re-
late them to your neighbor, and we will nut
them in shape for publication. Now win
some Of our former correspondents and as
many new ones as wish, please sharpen their
pencils and go to work.

RIOT on ELEoTIoN NiGHy. Some colored
men in Westminster made very riotous de-
monstration at a late hour on the night Of the
election. They came out Of Court street
armed with stout bludgeons and proceeded
up Main street until they came to the Wilson
House, in very noisy and disorderly man.
ner. Here they attempted to enter, their
riotous behavior causing the clerk to order
them out. They refused to 90, when police
man Israel Zeiber and his two assistants,
Frank Eiehelberger and Conrad Hoover, who
were present, were called on to maintain or
der. One Of the assistants took hold Of one
of the disorderly colored men and had got
him out at the door when Mr.. Zeiber took
hold Of him, but was Immediately knocked
down with stick by another man. He re-
ceived two stunning blows upon the back of
his head and one on the shoulder, but held
on to his prisoner, and soon sprang to his
feet again. Giving the negro in charge Of his
assistants he went in pursuit of the others (;
but the man was rescued and the assistants
were dubbed opposite the headquarters Of
the Republicans, and the prisoner took refuge
in the Republican club room. Mr.. Zeiber
then entered the club room and arrested him
again, and took him before Justice Crapster
who committed him for hearing. Five
Others of the rioters were subsequently, arres
ted and held for their appearance at Court
II was in evidence before the Justice that the
riot was the result of previously arranged
plot. The Democrats had met at the Wilson
House near the telegraph Office for convent
ence Of receiving and sending dispatches, and
the negroes were heard to say 'let us clean
them out. Their bludgeons had been pre-.
pared for that purpose. The entry into the
hardware store Of Messrs. Reifsnider 4 Steph.
an, and the taking therefrom of pistols and
razors on the following night, is believed to
have been part of the plot. Sheriff White
was at Wheeler's HOTEL and after the rescue
and subsequent capture, word came to him
that the city police needed his assistance.
He summoned few men, who stood near
him, and fastened towards the scene Of the
riot, followed by large number of excited
white men. Fortunately for the negroes the
rioting had been suppressed, and the Sheriff
was informed that his services were not need
ed. The negroes appear to have been excit-
ed by representations made to them during
the canvass that they were TO be deprived of
their public schools in case Of Mr.. Tilden's
election, and were to be remanded to slavery
If white men have imposed upon them in this
way, they are more culpable than the negroes,
who know no better, for they knew they were
uttering wilfull falsehoods when they Piled the
negroes with such stories for the purpose of
securing their votes. Such miscreants, if
they can be found out, should be treated as
the enemies Of the peace aud order Of society,
for 1t is just such representations as these
that have produced the disorders in the South.
