| to-day was made to determine the state OF the
| case in the Circuit Court, the doubtful ques-
| ton being whether an appeal per Sc operated
as stay of proceedings in this Court. Judge
Blatchford said he had ransacked English
and American books, and had not been able
| to find any authority directly to the point.
I He thought the case before him would be
simplifed by the action of the Supreme
Court on a motion to dismiss the appeal, and
| accordingly ordered that the motion for at
| tachment stand over till motion to dismiss
the appeal in the Supreme Court had been
| decided The Court also suggested that an
\ effort be made to obtain the Supreme Courts
| opinion as to whether an appeal operates
per Sc to stay proceedings IN Circuit Court.

Attempt of Il Young Fiend TO Destroy His
Father and Sister.
WHEELING Nv. v J, February 20th.-About
month ago the residence of William Wor-
rel, near Claysville, P, was burned. 1t
was evident at the time that it was incendi-
airy, but late developments have brought out
very revolving facts, besides confirming the
incendTary theory. James Worrell, a son of
William WorTell, was engaged to be married
to a young lady in Washington county, but
not having means to support a wife undertook
to destroy his father and sister in the flames,
so that he could come into possession of the
property, and thus be enabled to carry out
his wishes. Before setting fire to the house
he locked his sister in one room and tied his
father in another room. Fortunately SER
want discovered them before the flames
reached them, and with difficulty saved their
lives Young Worrell is q years of age,
and highly educated. The family are highly
respected in the community in which they
live.
