Some Additional Particulars Re.
gardlng the Stabbfng at OsceOIa.

garding the %stabbing at Osceola.
The Ward Reflex of Saturday has the
following G. II. Willard came over from
Osceola Thursday last and brought the in
telligence that Hon. George G.. Blair had
been fatally stabbed by j. R. Middleton
that morning at 6 O'Clock, the knife pene-
trating the abdomen about three inches to
the left of the naval and nearly severing
one OF the intestines.
The particulars of the cutting, so far as
we have been able to learn, are as follows !:
On the morning in question Mr.. Blair was
on his way to one Of his mines, and in
passing Middleton's house, which adjoins
his own, met Middleton, who was cutting
baling rope with a stout pocket knife. A
few words passed between them about a
clothes line and some trouble Mrs. Blair
had had with the female members Of Mid
dleton's family. Middleton called Blair q
liar, when the latter struck him a glancing
blow on the side OF the neck and head. At
the same time Middleton used his knife
with the result above stated. Blair imme-
diately turned, went round his house and
entered it by the back door. Mr.. Willard
says he did not think anything serious had
occurred until a few minutes later, when
Mrs. Blair appeared at the front door and
called for help. Mr.. Willard and several
Others entered the house and found Mr..
Blair suffering from a wound one and a
half inches in length from which one Of
the cut intestines was protruding. Ed
ward Allen sewed up the intestine and
wound and q messenger was at once dis
patched to Cherry Creek for a doctor.
Middleton walked over to the Justices
Office. gave himself up, and demanded ,
trial Immediately, which was granted.
Middleton was held without bonds, and
arrived here Thursday night in charge Of
VIM. Paine, who took him to Hamilton.
He did not appear to regret the act, talked
glibly about it and with a certain degree of
satisfaction.
Mr.. Blair was one of the Oldest and most
successful miners of Osceola, was a men,
Der OF the last Assembly and had been
married about two months.

Saturday.

Saturday.
There are immense tracts OF timber land
on the eastern slope OF the Tolyabe; also,
rich mines, and it will undoubtedly pay to
build a narrow gauge railroad through
Smoky Valley, this county. A railroad
running through this valley would also
very materially help mine owners in King
ston, Ophir Canyon, Northumberland,
Jefferson, Jet, Spanish Belt, Belmont,
Hot Greek, Typo, Reveille, Peavine, San
Antonio and Manhattan District.
The Forlorn mine in Ophir Canyon con-
tinues to look splendid. A. Lognoz, the
owner, shipped eight tons Of ore to Eu.
reka last week for reduction, and he will
ship eight tons more to the same place
next week. The ore pays well. :
W. F. Leon has bought 8. Slusher's saw
mill in Jefferson. 1t will be moved to
Spanish Belt.
The Monitor Belmont mill will be ready
to start on the Goth instant.

CURIOUS RESULT OF MENTAL DE-
RANGEMENT.

DR.. Beard explains the marvellous
powers exhibited at times by subjects
in a mesmeric or trance condition by
the exaltation of one faculty while all
the rest are for the time suppressed. A
permanent exaltation OF one faculty--as
OF calculation, music, etc. with the
more or less suppression of all other
faculties, is sometimes seen in idiots,
whose brain force is apparently confined
wholly to one line of effort. In such
cases any improvement in general abili-
ty or intelligence is usually attended
by falling off in the exalted faculty.
a reversal of this order appears in
remarkable Russian subject who was
lately brought before the Medico-Sur-
gcal Academy of st. Petersburg. The
subject, man 27 years old, was in
youth noted for his brilliant abilities.
A course of dissipation ended by an
acute disease, on his recovery from
which he was found to have lost all
his mental faculties, except memory
and the power of mathematical calcu-
lation. Those increased proportionate-
ly as his understanding and power of
logical thinking vanished. Now he is a
living phonograph and calculating ap-
paratus. In his lecture.room Professor
Merjevky requested him to square
numbers containing five or six figures,
to extract the square root of like num-
bers, and so on. All the questions
were correctly answered by the patient
in a few seconds. No mathematician
present could do anything like it. Then
the Professor requested some one to
read poetry aloud for several minutes,
and the patient repeated it as correctly
as a phonograph The Professor de-
clared to the audience that he was nm
able to explain this physical phenome-
non. The memory and calculating
capacity of the patient are still grow
ing, while in other respects he is be-
coming a hopeless idiot.

When a board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well-known
valuable remedies the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis

proof of it's merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dis

From queen Ann's County.

CENTERvILLE, September 15.--
On Tuesday morning there was q
shooting affray at Wye Neck between
two colored men named Noah Martin
and James Carter. The trouble had
its origin concerning q colored wo-
man, who was living with Martin az
his wife, and whom Carter came to
take home with him, as he alleged, TO
attend to his wife, who was sick.
This proceeding Martin resisted al
first by protest OF words which
finally resulted in blows. From the
few facts gathered previous TO the
hearing 1t appears that Martin threw
Carter after they resorted to blows
who Immediately drew q small Smith
& Wesson revolver and fred twice
one ball entering the left breast o.
Martin about two inches below thu
nipple and in a direct line with 1t
and the left side OF the head jusl
above and in tn, lrear of the ear. Car
ter ran OF, but was arrested later In
the day and committed to Jail.
