has ranges Of from one hundred to one
thousand yards and is for the use Of the
militis Of the State. Ifthe militia should
be called into active service their increased
efficiency arising trpm practice at the
range may, and probably will, save the
State more than the cost of the range and
its maintenance. The Pennsylvania
militiamen have few opportunities for tar
get practice, and scarcely any to shoot at
long ranges, but there are several rife
clubs in this city that make excellent
scores at short range. These clubs are
largely composed of members of the Ma
tional Guard who are educating them
selves, at their own expense, for the bene-

A BOLD BURGLAR.
Burglary and Assault with Intent to
Kill at Holly Springs.

Holly Springs (Miss.) South, 18th: On
Wednesday night last, when Mr.. William
Jones, our efficient city marshal had gone to
his dwelling, and was waiting for his supper,
he heard noise in a back room of his house
which attracted bis attention as unusual and
suspicious. He had laid down his usual
weapons, but called one of his family to bring
them to him, and, without waiting to receive
anything, went to the adjacent room only to
find a burglar, crouching in corner of the
room, who had broken into the house, and who
met him promptly with pistol-shot through
his left ear. He advanced, nevertheless, and
IN a scutfe which ensued was again shot
through the hand, the ball striking the aldo.
men and raising a considerable confusion, but
fortunately not entering his person. His es-
cape from death was IL very narrow one in
deed, and probably due to the bullet strikinga
button Of his vest, after passing through his
hand. But, unarmed as he was, and In the
dark, being hardly able TO see his antagonist,
he persisted nevertheless, so that the rascal
was glad to escape, leaving his hat and pistol
behind him. Certain circumstances are
likely to lead to an arrest of the right man,
who was OF small size and not white. The
marshal deserves the highest possible praise
for his energy and pluck. We believe it is
the first time he has been caught unprepared,
and we hope it will be the last. A little
Jones lynch, administered on that occasion,
as near the heart of the villain as possible,
would have been as good remedy for the
disease under which he was laboring as
dose of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup for
sick baby

ROBBERY IN ARKANSAS.
Two Robbers Enter a House Near
Searcy, and Compel the Owner to
Give up hIs Money.

Searcy Record: On Saturday last two
men, named Mason and Davis, robbed
Mr.. Moy, who lives in this county,
about sixteen miles southwest of Scar
cy, near Des Arc creek, of about one
hundred and sixty dollars. We learn that
the two supposed thieves had a short time
before been living on the place, but had re-
moved their families to a place near Little
Rock. A few days before the robbery they
had come back into the nelghborhood, bring
ing a wagon with them, which they had sold
to one of their old neighbors. The wagon
proved to have been stolen. Having learned
that Mr.. Moy had quite snug sum of money
in his possession, the men resolved to have
it, and on Saturday went to his house,
and finding Mrs. Moy alone, threw her on the
floor and commenced beating her, at the same
time threatening to kill her unless she told
where the money was. Mr.. Moy, hearing
the noise, came into the house, and one of the
party drawing his pistol, told him that unless
the money was gwen up he would kill them
both, whereupon Mr.. Moy went to the drawer
where the money was and handed it over.
The thieves then left, and at night stole a
horse and made for the swamps on White
river. A party was. at last accounts, in close
pursuit, and it is to be hoped they will over
take and bring the robbers back to receive the
punishment they so justly merit.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Gotten operatives
on strike in the Lancashire district are
greatly exasperated at the refusal of the
masters to compromise. When the repre-
sentaiives of the operatives left the meeting
at Manchester yesterday and no compro-
mise was arrived at, they intimated that the
leaders would not be able to longer restrain
the men, and disclaimed all responsibility
for what might happen in the striking dis
trict. When the news of the decision reached
Burnley thousands of people assembled in
the streets, hooting, shouting and smashing
windows. A nass-meeting will be held there
to-day and serious trouble is feared.
The riot at Blackburn last evening was the
direct result of the failure of negotiations.
There was also a riotous demonstration at
Accrington, and a serious breach of the peace
is still apprehended.
There was more rioting in Burnely o-night
and one warehouse burned. The military
prevented further destruction. At Blackburn
most of the manufacturers, with their house
holds, have quilted town. The soldiers keep
comparative peace.
At Preston there is great excitement and
fears of rioting. The militia are under arms.
