leans. These statements were aflrre fab
rications. The Senator never heard OF the
so-rnlled Sherman letter Until 1t be:
came q matter OF 9pnblie notoriety through
the press. In none of his interviews did
Anderson in any manner intimate that he
had been a party 70 any misdoing in respect
to misrepresenting the true result OF the
election. The reasons that actuascd him in
corresponding with Anderson were to aid
him ir securing what he thought he ought
to have, and TO not give any excise for be-
iieving he (biatthews) had not acted In good
faith. ~
After further explanation the committee
decided they did not desire TO call any wit
nesses at present, and the investigation here
rests. :. + 80

At His Old Tricks.

Archibald Owens, colored who recently
served Il year il the pententiary, for steal
ing meal from Ninsingers MILL and who
has not been very long released from that
institution, was recently employed by Mr..
Booth, the ice cream manufacturer, to work
for him on his farm, near town. Last Mon
day, Mr. +. missed some wheat from a bile
of partly cleaned wheat in his barn, and
suSpecting that Archie had stolen it, so in
formed the millers near town, and requested
them to look out for its arrival at their
mills. Sometime on Monday, Lewis Taylor,
also colored, took the wheat to Einsinper's
mill, of which fact Mr.. Il. was informed,
and i'll company with a friend intercepted
the two colored men when on their way to
the mill for the flour. Whereupon Lewis
protested his innocence and Archi asserted
that he had purchased the wheat from John
Partridge: but finally, when hard pressed,
owned that he had stolen it from Mr. Booth.
and left it in the yard near Lewis house.
Archie tried hard to compromise the felony,
and wished Mr.. Booth to say nothing about
it, and retain the value of the wheat from
his wages. The matter was settled hv
Mr.. Booth taking his wheat or-Itti:rr the
-four which had been made from it-home
with him, while Archie was allowed to re-
move to Chester, which he did immediately.

A Peculiar Combat in Deep Water.

The Philadelphia Press publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from Shohela, Pa, and
vouches for its correctness: "Four or five
miles back of this place, in an old log cabin,
lives Thomas Henderson, He has Il pretty
daughter about Is years of age. Clara Hen
dershot can row boat, shoot Il gun, or trap
4 bear rs we'll as any man in the county. A
few days ago she started across the lake,
known as the Great Walker pond, to visit a
friend. She used light boat belonging to
her father, and carried, as was her custom,
a small rifle sluns across her shoulder by
leathern strap. When nearly in the center
Of the lake she discovered an object in the
water Il short distance OFF, and upon ap-
preaching nearer found that it was large
five-prongcl buck, which had been driven
in by dogs. She Immediately unslung her
gun, and, after taking aim, fired. The ball
passed through the deer's neck, making a
painful wound. The animal being enraged
struck at the boat with its front foot, COM
pletely SCATTERING one side OF the fragile
bark, which sunk, leaving Miss Hender-
shot in the water with the Infatuated buck
She was plucky and could swim well, and
as the deer came toward her she caught it
by the horns and plunged her hunting knife
into its neck, killing it instantly. She then
called for help, and as none arrived, she
swan to the shore, about a quarter of
mile, and hurried home. She put on dry
clothing, and procuring another boat, rewed
~, ~ E,,, u
towed it to shore. When dressed the ami
NAL weighed nearly $50 pounds. This is the
seventh deer Miss Henderson, has killed."

honla, Japan: to San Francisco, California;
to II. c. Hurn, Elkton, Maryland" This
card, as the reader will see, was intended to
90 East; the endorsement on the other one,
which was intended to go round the world
in westerly direction, contained the same
names in reversed order. The former az
rived at Elkton on last Saturday at 923,
having been in fact 1l3 days in making the

direction The face and part of the back of
the card are covered with the post-marks Of
the several Offices through which it passed
as follows: liverpool, July Goth: Calcutta,
India. August odd" 1t seems to have been
detained at Calcutta for one week, and to
have left there on the Goth Of August, and
reached Bombay, India, OIL the lSt of Sep
TENDER. The next post-mark Is Singapore,
September 14th, upon which day it started
upon its Journey to lokohona, via Shang
hal, where it was posted October lSt. and
reached the former place on October llth
Here it was posted for san Francisco, where
it arrived on the 9TH of October, and left
there the same day for New York, arriving

of its long journey, which was made Mt a
cost of 6 cents, one J cent /. :. postage
