Samuel Hall, 31, laborer, Chester, was in. dicted at the Chester Assizes for felonious- ly causing grievous bodily harm to Sarah Hall, with intent to disfigure her, at Chester on the 29th February. The evidence revealed a somewhat extraordinary case. On the day in question the prisoner and his wife had been drinking, and on their way home they called at the house of a neighbor named Ruffie, where the prisoner had violent fit. When he recovered he and his wife went to their own house. About a quarter of an hour afterwards Mrs. Hall ran into the Ruff fies' with her nose bitten off, and immediate ly fell insensible. Mrs. Ruffle ran in andac- cused the prisoner of biting off his wife's nose, and he replied, Have I ?'' The prison CT was arrested, and for some time Mrs. Hall was in the hands of the doctor When she went into the box yesterday, well as when before the Justice, she thus described what took place in the house. Her husband sat in a kitchen chair, while she busted her self about the back kitchen. She then heard her husband fall, and on running in she found him in a fit on the floor She stopped down to remove his neckerchief The pris- CTS mouth was opening and shutting in the throes of his fit, and somehow her nose got between his teeth, and he bit it off. MT. Williams, counsel for the prosecution deavored in every way to elicit from the witness that this was concocted story to screen her husband but she stuck to the truth of the story with the greatest persistency. His lordship said that unless MT. Williams could affect the woman's evidence it would be useless carrying on the case further. Mr. Williams replied that he had done all he could and his lordship directed the jury to return verdict of not guilty

Midnight Sunshine.


 The spectacle of the sun shining at mid night attracts many foreigners in Swedish Lapland during the month of June. For six weeks there is scarcely any night in the north of Sweden; the sun never sets, and the soil, constantly heated, produces in month and a half barley and other crops. At that time of the year the Laplanders pen up their rein deers and move their huts toward the culti- vated fields. Being very hospitab1e, they greet with joy the arrival of tourists, who generally meet at Mount Gellaware, about ninety miles from Lulea. From that hill, which is. about six hundred yards high, the beautiful spectacle of the ''midnight sum- can be admired in better conditions than from any other place. The 24th of June is the day selected for the ascension; it is the longest day in the year the sun being twenty two hours above the horizon. This year the 24th of June was not favored by fine wealth CT, and owing to cloudy sky the sun was not visible at midnight but the following day travellers were well rewarded for their trouble, the sun shining brightly at midnight

Mrs. ChisoInl's Plea for Garfield.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.


 Weare permitted to make the following extracts from letter written by Mrs. Chis olm to friend in Wisconsin. The letter has a special significance just now. It is wo- mans plea for the election of Garfeld-the plea of woman who has, through suffering and sorrow, earned the right to speak. Un- der date of Salona, Penn, July 30, Mrs. Chis- o1m writes:
 T received a letter to-day from friend in the South enjoining not to fail to keep before those who will use it the fact that there is petition prepared and signed by all the Democrats of Kemper county to have all concerned in the murder of the 2Gth of April, 1877, pardoned without a trial This peti- tion is not to be presented until winter Two generals of the Union army are in the field for election to the Presidency On the one side I, miserable, lonely woman, without practical friends, however much sympathy I may receive, and made a wanderer on the face of the earth, with wrongs unredressed, waiting, praying and watching, almost hop ing that in the election of General Garfield may have some hope of justice. On the other hand, the murderers of my sonny fair boy my tender, loving daughter, and my noble husband-with hands red with blood and unpunished, are laboring to elect General Hancock and then apply the sponge of exec utive pardon. What you men of the North going to do? Do you not hear voices of patriots calling to you from the ground where their ife's blood was poured out? My dear sir, can you not arouse the people? They must be only sleeping.
 Are all the sacrifices that have been made only "a half-forgotten memory? In ceme- tery near me I see white and bronze mon ument, on the top of which is the dropping form of an angel, with head bowed in weep ing over the sleeping dust of dead soldiers who fell in many battles of the war; contend ing for the same principles for which my husband, son and daughter were slain so many years after. Near to this spot are my dear ones They were strangers to the coun- try and the soil, but believing, as they did, that the United States was their country, it is fit they should rest here. As I sit here breathing the blessed air that floats above my darlings, would you tell me to forget all about their cruel butchery by Kemper county's best citizens I know I should breathe prayers for all mankind. I do. But God does not require me to mock Him with prayers for devils accursed. Oh, how I re- member the tender love of my husband and remember his gentle, loving care, the sweet ness of my daughter and my brave boyi When the remembrance of that bloody strue gle, that terrible day, comes to me, when the lifeless and mangled forms of my dear ones were brought to me; when those in authori ty turned deaf ear and refused to hear my cry; when all those years have passed by and no law has been invoked to punish such atrocities, why should I forget? Respectfully your friend, W. w. CH1so1M."

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The following from the New Orleans Ob- server is not without interest as an indication of ''southern feeling': An itinerant magic lantern snowman was in West Feliciana Parish recently exhibiting his show. His audience was largely colored people. A last scene happened to be the death of Lincoln. Said the exhibitor, carelessly: ''You'n now see the death of the martyred President" That ght the snowman was interviewed by twenty armed bull-dozers, taken from his stopping place and on the road beaten with ffty-five stripes, the same number of dollars the ruff fans found and took from the shoHman's person. Warned on the peril of his life never to come into these parts again, the poor beaten wretch was told his treatment was consequence of his temerity in talking about and exhibiting to the blacks show-picture of ''the martyr Lincoln. <"

Touch of Winter i'm the Middle of Au-
 gust-Splendid Frost Formations.
 From Burts Among the Clouds, August I'll
 The last forty-eight hours have been a pe- r1od of wonder to the visitors on Mount Washington, who have been favored with a sight of the strange and beautiful frost for nations giving the Summit the appearance It ordinarily wears in the early winter For several nights the auroras had given warning of coming storm, which reached us Satur- day morning. when clouds enveloped the mountain, remaining through the day and night. The thermometer fell until Sunday morning, stopping near the freezing point and the forenoon was cold and gloomy. At an early hour frost began to form on the rocks and woodwork, where exposed to the wind, and soon attracted attention. The largest frost feathers were found on the top of the tower and were about six inches long, Towards 3 o'clock the clearing-up began, the clouds now and then lifting and disclosing charming views while it was still too cold and windy to enjoy. Later the clouds settled on the mountain once more, and nothing could be seen the rest of the day. The highest and lowest temperature during the day were 380 and 2S0, and the wind reached a velocity of thirty eight miles,
 The most intense cold came with the break ing away of the storm yesterday morning when the thermometer fell to 27o the lowest point recorded this season. The frost had contInued 10 SaGner InfouSn the night, until every exposed surface was white with the beautiful formations, in all shapes imagina- ble. On the tower was found perfect feath- CT twenty inches long, while those foot or so in length were plenty. Telegraph wires appeared like clothes lines, and general transformation has been effected Nothing could have given the mountain more wintry appearance, and those who had never seen the Summit in its full winter costume could get an excellent idea of it's appearance in the colder months.
 At 6 a. m. there was splendid view of the clouds below the Summit nearly all of them afterwards passing over and revealing a scene of unusual beauty. The atmosphere from here to the coast was perfectly clear, and the ocean was seen from the Isles of Shoals to a point eastward of Portland ship was plainly seen by several parties at the Sum- mlt without the use of glass, and every lake andpond inthe eastern landscape was brought out with unusual distinctness.
 The records of the signal station here show that the "cold snap" for this time in the month, is without parallel for duration and severity. Last August the thermometer fell to 260 for short time, on the morning of the 18th, just after a storm, and ice was formed, but no frost, the weather soon mod erating. The only lower temperatures re- corded in August are 2Oo, on the Fist, in 1876, and 240, on the 24th, in 1873: both, as will be seen about a week later than the present

From the Albany (Ga.) News.l


 Colonel Nelson lift has on his plantation, about two miles from the city, the Balls mill rode, twelve acres in rice, which avera- ges three feet high and promises an abundant yield The rice is planted on ordinary up- land pine land. and has stood the drought splendidly, looking fresh green and vigorous. It is an old theory that rice culture requires very wet seasons, and, following this notion, the rice fields on the coast are often flooded. But the success of Colonel Tift's experiment has demonstrated the fact that the plant is hardy one. and will stand hot weather finely.
 This is the first year Colonel lift has tried the experiment. and so far everything points to it as a signal success. He has induced a number of his tenants also to make the expert ment, and they have fine crops. There are several small farmers in this section who have for number of years in succession planted rice crops, and they have always been successful with it. There is every req son why our planters sgenerally should rslly plant this crop. It has been clearly proven that it can be raised without difficulty on our uplands, and it is certainly a valuable crop Rough rice, that is, rice in the chaf, will bring $1. .25 to 1.50 bushel in Savan- nah, which is certainly remunerative price. There are at present no rice mills in this region that we know of, but a general pro- dnction of the grain will soon bring all the necessary implements of its use to hand.

An analysis by the New York Commercia Bulletin of the returns of 16O fire insurance companies authorized to do business in New York, shows that the companies paid out for losses and expenses $734, 925 more than their entire premium receipts for the six months ended June 30. Of eighty-one New York State companies, forty-seven thus exceeded their premium incomes; of ffty-eight other State companies, forty-three in the same category, and of the twenty-one foreign con- panies, ten did not take in enough premiums to cover losses and expenses. So that 100 out of the 16O companies actually lost money by the half years underwriting transactions. A number of companies expended for losses and management expenses anywhere from 10 to 77 per cent. in excess of premium re- ceipts.
