South of Oxford, Miss, who was absent at
tho time, and after attempting to outrage,
tho lady of the house, struck hcr on tho
head with an axe, from the effects of which

men were in pursuit of the viluiu, who was
captured in the woods near Oxford, and is
doubtless lynohed by this time, as the cx-
element was very great there yesterday.
An Ohio stumper, while making speech

SERvIA'S WAR PROGRESSES

LONDON, Jan. 6, 1873
The HERALD's special correspondent in
II DiriRo, has an important article on the
Eastern Question. in which grave
doubts are expressed whether England
can restore Turkeys dropping fortunes.
The DiriHo considers Austrian participa-
ton in the war as highly improbable.
Therefore the general European conAagra-
ton so long feared is avoidable if France
restraints her impetuosity.
ITALY NOT AFRAID.
Italy has no cause for fear in any
event, the Diri4o continues. She is neither
seeking new adventures nor offending
the susceptibility of friendly Powers.
Meanwhile she will watch events calmly,
she is ready to defend her rights at any
moment.
SOFIA CAPTURED.
The Russians have taken Sofia, according 10
despatch just at hand from Bucharest. Details
are entirely wanting; bnt after the news Of the
last few days II win surprise no one.

and also across the Danube at Ibran. This would
indicate serious operations against the quadri.

srLINA TO BE OCCUPIED
The Vienna Political Correspondence says that the
ice IN the Danube at Galatz will probably be strong
enough IN two days TO permit the crossing OF
troops The Russians also intend TO occupy Sulina.
NOT so EASY, LORD BEACOSsFIELD.
There Is nothing new in the way Of political re.
ports or rumors. The comments OF the leading
weekly journals on the situation are unimportant
There Is talk IN some quarters OF a dissolution OF
Parliament in consequence o! the hopeless divi-
sions in the Cabinet, but there Is nothing more
than conjecture. The anti-war agitation through.
out the country is on the increase, but seems con.
fined pretty closely within party lines.

states that If Russia rejects mediation Turkey
