ing, ID. c., entered the residence OF Mrs.
James x. Tschifiely, q highly esteemed
married lady, whose husband, q proni.
nent citizen Of Montgomery, was absent
in another county on business.
The lady was seated quietly at table
engaged in reading, when the negro
suddenly sprang into the room, and
seizinp her by the throat, choked her
into condition Of semi-consciousness
and threatened, il she made an appeal
for aid, TO murder her and burn the
house. He then dragged the terrified
woman up the staircase, and kept her q
prisoner in her room during the entire
night. repeatedly subjectng her 10 his
brutal passions.
He left the room early this morning,
and, thinking he had fed, his victim
managed to recover sufficiently to leave
the house. and started TO the residence
OF q neighbor. The negro, however, was
lying in wait, and upon meeting her on
the lawn seized her by the hair Of the
lead and dragged her back 70 the boute,
where, after subjecting her TO further
gross assaults, he struck her over the
h, al with chair.
The blow fell with crushing force, cut.
ting the head and face OF the lady, fore.
iny her eyes almost from their sockets.
She is besides terribly disfigured, her
neck and face being horribly cut, swol.

quickly organized to search for the brutal
assailant.

Sapphire Hunting in siam.


Five years ago n native hunter in
Siam found sapphires in remote and
secluded district. Some men who were let
into the secret followed him TO the
mines and brought back TO Rangoon
and Calcutta a number OF very valuable
tones. A rush ensued from British
Burmah, thousands of adventurers
flocking to the mines, some 10 find sud-
den fortune, but more to lose their lives
ON privation and jungle fever. The
mines occur in the provinces of Battam-
bong and Chantaboon. In his CONNER
cial report for 1879, the British consul
at Bangkok says that the miners are
very careful to conceal their gems while
in Siam. Being anxious 10 show some
OF the gems to Admiral Coote, the con-
sui called for specimens from some
miners who had just returned from the
diggings. One miner, q poorly-clad
and miserable looking fellow, produced
few small stones, and after a great
deal of coaxing was induced, with many
precautions, to give private view OF
his great prize, which was very large
sapphire in the rough, valued at sIO.-
600. He would probably not have
shown this stone at all had he not been
on the point OF leaving in a steamer.
Owing to the secrecy thus observed by
the possessors of valuable gems, IL is
impossible TO give any estimate of the
total value of stones found, butthat in
dividuals have made very large profits
is certain. One man dug out a stone
which he offered for sale in Chantaboon
for $500, but did not find n pur.
chaser. He went with it TO Rangoon
where he was offered 81. 500; but, having
awakened TO the value of the stone, he
declined to sell. and took it TO Calcutta,
where he eventually obtained Sl5, 600
for It. Now. however, there are many
experienced gem merchants established
in the neighborhood OF the mines, and
something like the real value of stones
can be obtained by the miners on the
spot. The largest sapphire hitherto
found. so far as the consul knows,
weighed 379 carals In The rough, and
when cut turned out Ill carats of the
finest water. The ruby, onyx and jade
are found in the district, but the quality
OF none of them is such as to make
them very valuable. Springfield Rsp,lb.
