FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
A Woman Drops Dead when Attack
ed by N Tramp

The following is telegraphed from
Poughkeepsie, n. "
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock,
tramp stopped at the farmhouse OF the
late Alfred Vinegar, near Millelton. As
the men were at work in the field at
some distance from the house, Mrs.
Vinegar, being alone in the house, with
the exception of all old lady over eighty
years OF age, proceeded to fasten the
the front pat of the house. As she was
passing through The hou,e to fasten a
LACK door she met the ramp at the door
What demands he made OTHER is unknon
The old lady says that he cought hold
of Mrs. Vinegar and pushed her the hill
backwards towards small back out ibui,.
ding. The fright and over exertion so
affected her that she died instantly. The
old lady used all the strength she had to
pull him away from Ms. Vinegar and
her screams screams brought a little
cOlored boy to the house. He was too
much frightened to call for any assistance,
and the tram escaped, and had not been
arrested up to late hour last night, al
though parties were in pursuit of him.
The tramp is desc lbed as a man of ad-
yanced age with long gray whiskers. Mrs
Vinegar was vary estimable woman
between sixty and seventy years old, ant
very active for one of her age. DIR. Still.
man, OF Millerton, and DR.. Guernsey, o
Armenia, examined the body. Corone
Morse came up last night, and this morn
ing has gone down to hold the inquest
The house is about two and half miles
from North East Centre. There is mucl
excitement over the mater, and if til
tramp is caught and proved 10 be guilty
s,immery punishment will be given hir
unless better counsels prevail.

FoRMANCE IN THE SENATE OVER
THE TEST OATH BILL.
From the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, June q, 1873.
The honorable the Senate oil the
United States was bear garden all day,
In which Senators Conkling, Blaine ana
Edmunds, on the republican side, wor-
,ied Senators Thurman, Whyte, Voor-
lees, Beck and Bayard, and were In their
turn worried. The republicans first tore
the Test Oath bill to pieces, and then re-
fused to let it be reeommitted for amend
Ment. and in the end the bill was passed,
and will be amended in the House, as II
seems to be generally acknowledged that
II can be improved. The proceedings
were highly amusing to the gallery,
which on such occasions are absolutely
impartial and only anxious TO see the
fights.
THE SILVER BILL-MoNoMETALLis
AGITATED.
The Silver monometallists in the Sen
ATE. with Senator Voorhees, at their head,
are excited over the sensible conclusion
of the Finance Committee to-day, that
the Silver bill is too important and far
reaching a measure to be considered at
tile close of the extra session. Senator
Coke will call up on Monday his resolu-
ton to take the bill out the hands OF the
;a almp&t
cedented act, for it is very seldom. IN
deed, that committee is so rldely treat
ell, and it is doubtful whether it will be
carried, some of the silver men being OPP
posed to it ; but the silver monemetallists
are SO anxious to drive gold out of the
country that they cannot wait till next
winter to pass their bill.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Senate
Committee on Finance held special
meeting TO day for the purpose ofdecid-
ing whether the House measure com
monty known as the Warner Silver bill
should be taken up for action during
the presen ut session. The motion pend-
ing at the adjournment of the last meet
ing wa Qua suba.ittsd by Nj. VOORHEES,
that the committee proceed to the cor
sderation Of the measure. Mr.. Morrill,
to-day moved to amend the motion by
adding "and for the purpose of having
time tor its full consideration further ac-
ton thereon shall be postponed until the
hrst Monday in December next"
This amendment was adopted by the
following vote Ayes, Messrs. Bayard,
Herman, Ferry and Allison. Noes,
Nlessrs. Beck, voorhees, and Jones, OF
Nevada.
Senator Merrill was paired with Sena-
tor Wallace. The latter, if present, would
have voted no.
The motion as thus amended was then
adopted by the same vote and the whole
subject was laid aside accordingly.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Cooke asked
Mr. Bayard chairman of the finance
Committee, what action had been takel
on the Warner Silver hill. He had un.
derstood that the committee had agreed
to postpone its consideration until De
Cember.
Mr.. Bayard did not feel authorized d to
say that had taken place in the commit

mad been Instructed TO report on tn

Mr.. Cooke then said his sense of dut,

A VERY important act was passed
b the legislature for the benefit of
the Memphis, Paduoah and Northern
railroad. This law authorizes the
company as reOrganized to Issue 7 per
cent. bonds as originally contemplated
to secure all the money necessary and
to complete the unfinished gap in the
road in time to handle the next cetton
crop. Cities, towns, counties and in
dividaals who have subscribed stock
to the enterprise or taken its bonds
will be to i certain extent protected,
This will not be in full, Of course, but
it will be better than nothing, which
would have been the result If it had
become necessary to absolutely fore
close the mortgages against the road.
All parties, it is believed, will he sat
isfed with the new arrangement. Il
is expected that work will be com
menced in time to ensure . comp,e
tion Of the road by next fill. This

ABOUT THE FLATBOATS,
And Those Now in Our RarhOr.

The broad horn fleet from the Ohio
river have been late coming here this
season. The first to pass south did so
two weeks later than last year owing to
lack Of water in the Ohio. They
began to come about four weeks ago
but all Of the earlier arrivals passed
on south with two or three exceptions
Within the past few days a
change has occurred and number o.
produce loaded broad horns are now
moored at the landing, where accom-,
modations, always wretched, inconveni.
ent and uninviting, is this winter worse
than ever, and it is next to down
right outrage to exact wharfage from
boats under such circumstances
Those now in port lay mainly below
the old elevator wreck, where the
Oifal dump pours filth around their
rear ends, while on the land side mud
previous to the freeze was several feet
thick. The boatmen naturally com
plain at this treatment, but they
nevertheless pay, all the same,
Among other Aatboats now in port are
Captain A. Marshal from Marietta,
Ohio, with a load of potatoes and ap-
pies; also Hiram Shortnack from
Letart Falls, upper Ohio, with car
go of potatoes, cabbage and apples;
also Hughes and Phillips frcm
Weston, lower Ohio, with some 4,OOC
bushels Peachblow potatoes il
bulk; also Jack Nlontieth's with
barge load Of peachblow potatoes
apples and other stuff from the uppel
Ohio; also JEFF Ray, from the lowel
Ohio, with cabbage and potatoes; alsc
Armstrong and Trotter, from Tobins
port, and j. N. Harbin, cargoes un
known. The towboat Alex. Chambers
Captain Powell, with fleet from tb,
upper Ohio, is lying with disable,
machinery at Booths point, 100 mile
above here, but will arrive in a day o
two as soon as repairs are completed
In this tow are Spencer Harpold'
boat, and two boats belonging to Cap
tain Pickens, all from about Letar
falls. Several other aatboats are il
the vicinity, but tho trade in this lin
is expected to be lighter this seasor
than usual. To-day or tomorrow th
towboat Wild Boy, which arrived
couple days ago, is expected to pes
on soutbwlrd with Jack Monteith'
barge, he having replenished s,cc'
here for a coasting trip.

Kidney and Liver
CURE.
Another Proof that
5right'S Disease in its
worst form is durable.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Nov q, 1879,
Messrs. II. II. WARNER 81 Co.,
Rochester, n. Y.
Gents; From my own sense Of duty,
and upon the advice of friends 1 have
concluded to offer you testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for !Bright's Disease in It's
worst form. Ny daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buialot
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, 0swego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard Of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
lCURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged us to give it trial; so as last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, ! came
to your Office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles ofyour KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions, and by
| the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton; she acquired control of her urinary
functions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsided, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space Of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. I wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as can not in this letter. that
know Bright's disease of the worst type
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ters lie and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
Mrs. NJ. j. CRANE,
No. A Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo-
NAL, I desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible affiiction, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use of the same
remedy that did.

DAN RICE, the veteran Snowman
and clown, after making half dozen
farewell tours" and failing in business
as many times or more, has at last
come out as an Evangelist, and will no
doubt rival Moody and Sankey. Old
Dan was born in New York State in
1922, and has had checkered career
as a Snowman. He is Better known
and has a wider scope of personal
acquaintance than any man in his
line in the United States. When he
took the bankrupt act few years ago
he owed over 100000, and his assets
consisted of one suit of clothes valued
at $50. Being thus equipped he will
be prepared to go forth without en-
cumbrances, not even owning a blind
horse, and can come about as near
taking no thought for the morrow as
any who have yet been called to
preach. There is no doubt but that
he will appeal to sinners in an unc-
tious, vigorous manner, and that for a
time at least he will draw well. Moody
and Sankey should look out for their
laurels.
