A Cutting ARRAY at New Hope
Church.
Whisky Caused 1T.

A sad occurrence took place at
New Hope, three miles from town
last Sunday evening at o'clock, in
which Mr.. Philip j. Harvill, one of
the leading citizens Of the communi-
ty, and prominent member of the
Methodist. church, was seriously, II
not fatally cut in three places on his
body and arm, by a young man
named Dan Hearn. Hearn was
drinking, and was very noisy, and
free in the use of indecent and pro.
fame language in the hearing Of those
who had assembled for church, and
especially emphasizing that some
one had told d-n lie on him, and
he could whip the man who did it.
Finally Mr.. Harvill cautioned HIM
against such conduct, not aware that
he was the object of the young man $
wrath, when Hearn turned upon him,
and told him that he was the person
himself, and made towards him with
his knife open. Seeing this, Harvill
attempted To rise, grasping q rock
as he did so with which to defend
himself, but catching his foot on a
grub was prevented from repelling
his adversary, although he threw the
rock at him. Hearn rushed upon
him, and cut him three times most
fearfully, when it was thought he
had accomplished his devellsh work,
and he broke to run. The excitement
was women and children
running in every direction, and
screaming in the widest confusion.
Quite number of men gathered
around Hearn with a purpose to ar
rrest him, but be defed them, and
swore he would kill the first man
who laid hands on him. The citi-
zens not being positive as to wheth-
err they could legally arrest him
without an officer or warrant, and
anticipating trouble with his brother
also, allowed him to escape, while
they sent to town for an officer and
doctor. Dr.. Thompson reached Mr.
Haryilrs side as soon as possible
and dressed his wounds, and reports
him seriously wounded, but with q
strong nerve, and he has good hopes
of his recovery. Constable Poe, was
promptly in his saddle, and on his
way to bring the criminal to justice
Sheriff Quinn and deputy Sheriff
Jno. Young passed down Monday tc
enter the pursuit. The young man
had most as we'll surrender without
further trouble; for these two off
Gals, like blood hounds, hardly evel
go for game, but what they bring il
in. We are reliably informed thai
Hearn went to the church that day
for the express purpose OF provoking
this difficulty with Harvill, as he hae
been heard to say that he intended
to kill him. The ostenslble cause o
his anger was report damaging II
his (Hearn's) character, which he &C
cused Harvill of circulating, bu
which Harvill denied, but to no pur
pose, however, as ii appeared Hear
was determined to kill him anyway
The facts were that Mr.. Harvill hat
caught him in associations Of dam
aging nature, and had kindly advises
him for his own good. The young
man was gsing to leave the countr,
in few days anyway, and, under tn
influence of liquor, conceived tn
\ idea Of this monstrous deed, the Xix
OF which has not occurred in thi
community in many long years, an
we hope may never occur again,

couple were breakfasting at sta
ton eating louise. During the re-
past two smart Alexis came into
the eating room and seated them
selves opposite the contracting
parties. They were telegraph op-
orators. BY delicate posing of
their knife and fork they were able
to make sounds i'll close imitation
Of telegraphy. In the mystic Ian
guage of the key one said unto the
other;
Amt she daisy, thought"
The party thus addressed repli-
ed by clicking off:
"Wouldn'tI like to kiss her, the
little fat angelo
Wonder who the old bloat is
that she has married?"
Some gorgeous granger, I reck-
on, replied the other.
The groom stood it until forbear-
ance ceased to be virtue, when
he also balanced his knife and
click, click it went in rapid success

cute twain that had recently made

He can try to win anybody, al
though a reasonable chance of
success may attend him with but
few. AT any rate he stands square
ly upon his check and his merits,
and that is enough. On the con-
trary, society says that a woman
must never go a step out Of her
way to secure the best and most
desirable Of mankind. She must
simply sit and wait until chance
brings the longed for opportunity
Of speaking. In fact, it is said
that young ladies pride themselves
upon feeling as well as seeming
indifferent to all men until an effort
is made to awaken their interest.
No wonder social reformers pro-
tect. If young naidenhood did
not so often fall a victim to the
first fight of Cupid's darts, it
ranges Of choice would still be
very small. AS they 60, rich and
poor, pretty and homely, intelli-
gent and ignorant, and probably
women would not, if they accepted

age of more than half a dozen
offers apiece, and not over three of

to win a score Of suitors, young
lady is still terribly handicapped.

makes a vigorous effort to deprive
the aforesaid fancy Of its liberty, is
very unsatisfactory thing when
critically examined. Probably it
may never be advisable to put wo-
man on an exact equality with
man, and let her go forth with
stock Of caramels and valentines to
her ideal, and put the motto, eff
at first you don't succeed, try, try,
again, to a practical test. At all
events, anything Of that kind is in
the far future. II, however, man
