A SAD sToRY.-A few days ago Mayor
Balthis received a letter from the Mayor oil
Manchester requesting him to apprehend an
employee Of the Ches. and Ohio railroad and
hold him until the authorities of Manchester
could secure him. On Monday night Police
men Pritchard and Hamilton went over to the
depot, for The purpose OF catching the accus-
ed. who was employedas q breaksman, but
he made his escape from the rear end of the
train and has not since been seen. The
Manchester correspondent of the Richmond
State tells the following story:
A few days ago young and gentcel look
ing woman went to the Mayors office and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of mar
charged with seduction under promise of mar
riage. She said she thought the man had gon.
to Staunton. The complainant related her
story to the Mayor, which was indeed q
touching one. She had plighted her trott
to the deceiver and the wedding was to have
taken place on a certain day this month.
She was not able to buy satin. but bought
rarlatan, and all was to have gone 'smerry
AS Il marriage hell"
She had even gone so far as to select he
bridesmaids and make all the arrangements
for the joyful occasion. And Just two or three
days before the time fixed upon for the Ger
emonies her -hetrotEed fled for parts I'm.
known and left her to repent of her shame
The Mayor OF Manchester has Just received
letter from the Mayor OF Staunton, stating
that the party was not there. Diligent eff
forts, though, will continue to be made t,
apprehcnd the betraycr and bring him t,
justice.

Smiths boarding house, was robbed of a
trunk containing about $50 worth OF cloth

MYsTERIoUs.-On Friday night last, about
o'clock, as Mr.. B. F. Collins stepped out
of the door of his residence, located on the
farm OF Judge D. Fnltz, about three miles
from the city, he received i. blow from some
source Or another OH the side of the face,
which rendered him senseless. There are
three distinct wounds on the face, and the
side OF it is very much swollen. DR.. Fultz was
called, and dressed the wounds, and gave it
as his opinion that they were caused by a
fall. Mr.. Collins has no remembrance OF
how he was injured whether he was struck
by all unseen person, fell down, or indeed,
how the wounds were given him. He knows
very we'll that he is severely bruised. but can
give no explanation of it. The appearance
of the face looks as though kick from a
horse, or two or three blows, had caused the
confusion and wounds.

RELIGIOUS INTERESTS Sabbath even
Ing last, Rev. DR.. Martin baptized and ad
mitted to church membership twenty GER
sons at Missionary Church No. 2, located
about four miles from Stanton, on the pro-
perty of Maj. B. L. Bagby. Some months
ago Sunday School was organized in the
neighborhood, which has been conducted by
Mr.. Ormond Hammond, OF this city. each
Sabbath. Since the organization of the
school, there have been about forty persons
who have protested religion. 1t is the pllr-
pose of those who have been interesting
themselves in the progress OF the religious
interest at this Missionary School to build IL
church during the present year, if the means
can be raised. Adult men and women have
protested religion, who, before the Sunday
School was opened, had never seen bible
or testament, and never heard a sermon.
Some of the children had never heard the
name of Christ mentioned, except profanely
and had no idea OF what church service or
religious teaching meant. Mr.. Hammond
attends the school every Sabbath. He has
been assisted occasionally by Rev. w. P.
McCorkle, and more especially during the
progress Of the revival.
