THE ATTACK ON CHISHOLM.

Meantime the crowd that had killed
Gilmer went to the Jail to kill Chisholm,
and being disappointed in not finding
him, set out in n rage for Chisholm's
house. Here they clamored for the pris.
oner, and demanded that the Sheriff
should carry him to the Jail. Judge
Chisholm finally consented 10 go to Jail
upon the promise that guard should be
furnished 10 protect him. Accompanied
by guard OF seven men, one Of whom
was an aged Scotchman, an unnaturaliz.
ed man named Mcclellan, his daughter
Cornelia, aged IS, and two sons, aged re.
spectively IL and 1G, he proceeded to the
jail, and was locked in. 1t was subse.
Quently aScertained that with the excep.
ton Of the gun held by Mcclellan, all
the guns Of the guards contained only
powder, and no shot, and that the Sheriff
had thus conpived at the death OF his
prisoner.
The crowd now seized two colored men,
and, by putting ropes around their neCks
and hauling them up to branches OF trees,
tried to extort from them something to
involve Chisholm, against whom there
was not a particle OF evidence.
A BRAVE GIRL.

Boston & Maine Conductors.

The Boston Advertiser says: The discovery
OF one or two cases of petty pecalation on the
Boston & Maine railroad has led to exagger-
ated reports of dishonesty, equally unjust to
the road and to its body of faithful officers and
employees. In the cases rsferredlto the offend
ers were promptly discharged. Further than
this there has been no ground for uneasiness
and no unusual steps have bsen taken to pro.
cure evidence against other conductors. Not a
shadow of suspicion attaches to the remaining
conductors or to the ticket agency in Boston,
and the conductors, as body, are considered
upright and honest men, having the entire con-
fidence of the company and of the public.
The above extract undoubtedly gives the ex.
act state of affairs and the sweeping comments
which have followed the detection of one or
two Offenders do great Injustice to the respecta-
BILE and upright men !employed by the Boston
& Maine railroad company. 1t is well known
to all who travel by that road that the conduc-
tors are in general courteous and straiehtfor-
ward men. acceptable alike to passengers and
managers of the road.

"Oh!" Savage was afterwards seen going

pail of water, and said TO some one passing
that he was going TO get some supper. He then
returned to the house with Mrs. Stevens, In
a short time Mrs. Stevens came to Mrs. Cum

ter gave evidence of remarkable power. Her
rendering of the goblin chorus took her audit
ors by surprise, and her delivery throughout
was of exceptional merit. She showed much
skill as reader, aud gave complete satisfac-
ton.
After an interval of few minutes, Miss
Potter appeared in the costume and general
makeup of Miss Anna Dickinson in the play
Anne Boleyn. She gave an emphasized
copy of the ma2nerisms and voice of Miss
Dickinson, and followed it by initiating Susan
b. Anthony. This was also very clever and
Miss Potter was recalled As Charlotte Cush-
