i LADY'S FIGHT WITH BURGLARS R0cheS-
Ter, April 22.-In the absence Of Mr.. A. A.
Hopkins, Of the american Rural Home, an
attempt was made to burglariZe his house
about l o'clock this morning. Mrs. Hop
kinS heard the burglars, took pistol from
under her pillow, searched the house in her
robe de NIT, discovered one burglar pacing
in the front hall, tried to enter the sitting
room to alarm a gentleman who was sleep
ing above, but was apprehended by burg
lar, who fired at her. In the mean time one
OF The burglars escaped by the back door, and
the other sought his exit. Mrs. Hopkins fol-
lowed him as closely as the intense darkness
permitted. He seized her several times by
the hair, but she broke away, and when
near the side door raised her pistol and
fired at the thief. He retreated to the back
door, but the plucky little woman followed,
and just as he was about to fire again she
emptied another barrel into his right arm.
The burglar dropped his pistol, exclaimed
"-- her, she's hit me in the arm,"
and then disappeared. Nothing Of value
was secured. The burglars made an inef-
fectiye attempt to chloroform Mrs. Hop
kins and her little daughter Mr.. and Mrs.
Hopkins have practiced pistol.shooting con-
siderably, hence her brave defence against
the two burly burglars. Mrs. Hopkins
narrowly escaped the two shots fired at
her.-Special dispatch to the Neeo Yorlc

Of Public Instruction. The nomination,
as things look, is equivalent to an cleo
tion. But Mr. Emery has declined
the candidacy He is a Democrat in
principle, but he does not believe in
the election of clergymen to Office To
show Just how he stands can be best
appreciated from his own words. He
says: II appreciate the honor bestow-
ed upon me by that representative body,
but being minister Of the Gospel as
well as a teacher, have made it mat
ter of conscience to keep aloof from all
political entsnglements; and although
the office to which / have been nomin-
ated is not political one, yet it can
only be reached by passing through poll
tics. l therefore must respectfully de-
cline the nomination"
It is an admirable exmaple the rev.
erend gentleman sets, and it is a pity
that it is not more generally received as
such throughout the whole country.
Clergymen ought to abstain from active
politics.-,S. +. Eaama7eer.
