The New York Times gives an ac'
count of and cid lady, of Hackensack
n. J., who had been deaf for num-
Der of years, receiving her hearing
during q regent thunder storm. The
moment of her restoration is thus dis
cribedi
On the evening of Sunday, April %,
a shower came up, and at about 10
O'Clock it passed over Hackensack.
The flashes of lightning were very
vivid, and the the thunder had been
heavy. Mrs. Quacken bush, who was
somewhat nervous, was sitting up in
her bedroom. An unusually sharp
flash of lightning caused her TO start
up quickly from her chair. The thun-
der followed, and with the crash Mrs.
Quackenbush felt a swapping in her
ears, and as the reverberations OF the
thunder rolled away she was surprised
and delighted TO find that she could
hear the ticking OF the clock in her
room, and soon after the noise of the
family moving about the house and In
conversation. Since that moment she
has been able to converse easily with
her friends, and TO enjoy the conver-
sation ofOthers when carried on in a
distinct manner, and not too far away
from her.

duel was vigorously maintained till
the Russians brought up columns of
infantry as close as they dared to the
Notifications, apparently intending,
If possible, to take the place by storm.
The Ottoman commander observing
this, drew together q large body of
troops behind the ramparts, and
launched a tremendous sortie upon
the Russian flank and rear, under the
shock of which many were obliged to
retreat into a disadvantsgeons posi-
tion. A bloody engagement followed
at close quarters. and at its termina-
tiOn the Russians were obliged to re-
treat beaten. leaving upon the field
three hundred corpses and large num-
bers of wounded. There was a slight
encounter in the meantime between
cavalry, but without special result.

The "Molly Maguires" at Streator,
LaSaile Co., H., have been asserting
their rights to be known as human
beings, by an attempt at wholesale
poisoning. The food of party of
fifty-nine men, who had been secur-
ed TO take the place of striking min
ers, was dosed with arsenic. The re-
suit was that the whole party became
violently Ill, and fatal results are
feard in many of the cases. The
most strenuous efforts will be made to
apprehend the cowardly perpetrators.
The State of Georgia has sold the

The case of the State of Missouri
against Albert Bishop, charged with
murder, was called in the Circuit
Court on Tuesday, and on Wednesday
morning after hearing the evidence of
four of the witnesses for the State,
Judge Grubb instructed thejury to re-
turn a verdict without leaving their
seats, of mot guilty as charged in the
Indictment"
And thus ends one of the grandest
farces that has been played In our
country for years, and also another
evidence that our system of Grand Ju-
ries is humbug and ought to be abol-
ished.
Mr.. Bishop was no more guilty of
murder than a year-old child, and yet
his enemies could go before the Grand
Jury and have him indicted, thrown
into jail. put to deal of cost, deprived
of his liberty, and all to crafty the
petty spite of few.-ETchdnge.
