Caa saday, one charge of malioioaastab bieg. The venire being empanneled and the jury solemnly charged by tbe olerk, the Commonwealth's Attorney called, in support of tbe indictment, the witness, Buck Bryant, who, being solemnly sworn tbe truth to tell, testi? fied as follows: Question by tbe Commonwealth's Attorney?Tell all you know about the cutting of the prosooutor by Cisna day, the prisoner at the bar Answer?Well, gentlemen, it was election dsy?'twas a dark, eloudy, wet eort of drizzly day; aud says I to my old woman, I believe I'll go down to Binggold and 'posit my vote. And says my old woman to me, Well, Buck, as it is a sort of dark, olondy, wet sort of a day, says she,'hadn't you better take your umbrill? 8sys I to the old woman, I 'speot I had better take the umbrill. Bo I took the umbrill and advanced on down towarda Binggold; and when I got down tbar, Mr. Cole oomed, aud says be, Uncle Back, have you seed anything of neighbor Harris? Bays I to Mr. Cote, For why? 8ays he, He's get my umbrill. The witnesa was here interrupted by the Court, and told to confine himself to tbe aotnal fray between the prisoner aud Cole, tbe proaeontor. Iu answer to this, the witness remarked, in a tone of indignant remonstrance. Well, now, Mr. Judge, you bold on, for I am sworn to tell she truth, and I'm gwine to tell it my ewn way?so taint whilb for you to say nothing about it. Whereupon tbe Commonwealth's At? torney, being anxious to get rid of the witness upon auy terms, told bim to go on and tell the tale his own way. Well, as I was going ou to say, 'twas on election day, Buckanan end Filmo was running for the Legislature, and says I to my old woman, Old woman, I believe I'll go down to Binggold and 'posit my vote. Says my old woman to me, Bay8 she, Buek, as it is a sort of a dark, rainy, drizzly sort of a day, hadn't you better take your umbrill? says she. Says I to the old woman, says I, I speot I had better take my umbrill; so I took tbe umbrill, and advanced on towards Binggold until I arriv tbar. Well, tbe first thing I did when I got tbar was to take a drink of Buckanan whiskey, wbioh.was montrooa good, and says 1 to myself, says I, Old Hose yon ft el better now, don't you? And while I was advancing around, Mr. Cole, be came to me, aays he, Unole Buck, says he, have you seen .anything of old neighbor Harris? Says I, for why? Says he, the old oook has got my um? brill. Arter awhiie I 'posited my vote, and then Mr. Cole and me advanoed baok towards home, and Mr. Cole was tighter than I ever seed him. And so we advauoed along till we got to whar tbe road and the path forked, and Mr. Cole and me took the patb, as any other gentleman won Id, end after ad? vancing awhile he arriv to old neigh? bor Harris eetten on a log with the umbrill on bis arm, and about that time Elijah Caasiday (the prisoner) oomed op, and we advanoed on till we arriv at Elijah's house. Elijah is my neffew and likewise son-in-law. He married my darter Jane, whioh is next to my darter Sally. Arter we bad ad? vanoed to Elijah's bouse, we stood in the yard awhile a jawing, and pre? sently two somebody's rid up on a horse, whioh waa Johnson before and Whit field Oassaday behind; Whit fie Id and Kiah Casaaday being the same; Elijah and Kiah is brothers, both born in the nnt'ral way, like anybody else's brothers, no gala between 'em, and both of them is about tbe aame age, especially Kiah, whioh are the youngest. Kiah war drunk, and he and Mr. Cole got tooussin one another about politix, and I advanoed in tbe house whar waa Elijah'a wife, wbioh is my darter Jane, wbioh is next to my darter Sally. Well, artcr jawing awhile with 'em, my little neffew, says he to me, says he, Unole Book, let'a go home. Says I, good pop; so we pegged out togother, and I heard somebody a oallin' me, but never ten tioned 'em nor advanoed baok. Well, I got home and was eating my supper and Elijah, which is my son-in-law, and married my darter Jane, wbioh is next to my darter Sally, arriv, and says to me, Unole Book, aays be, I've killed a man. Says I, tbe hell you have. And that's all I know about the stabbing, for I warn't there 1" Friday.?Friday, long regarded as a day of ill-omen, has been an eventful one in Amerioan history. Friday, Christopher Columbus sailed on his voysge of discovery. Friday, ten weeks after, he discovered America. Friday, Henry VII of England gave John Cabot his oommipsion whioh led to the discovery of North Amerioa. Friday, St. Augustine, tbe oldest town in the United States, was founded. Friday, tbe Mayflower with the pil Srims arrived at Prinoetown, and on 'riday, they signed the august com? pact, the forerunner of the present Constitution. Friday, George Wash? ington was bora. Friday, Bunker Hill was seined and fortified. Friday, the surrender of Saratoga was made. Friday,' the surrender of Cornwall!* at Yorktown occurred, and on Friday, tbe motion waa made in Congress tbat the United Ooloo is* were and of right onght to be free and independent. A Boston journal innoeently remarks' that there is an air of improbability a boat the Ohioego Post's story of "a women who waa eaten np by grass hoppers.'' Some of theee Boston pa pars wonld doubt the veracity of Mr. Julliver bimeelf. 1 ijiXtfpittfioii Suoobss in Lira?Here ate useful suggestions from a member of tbe'BHtisri Parliament, Lord Der by, who is a robust, manly man. He' eeywY3.^iH'-i "Take two meu, if bey ooald be foubd, exactly'alike io mental ami bodily, aptitudes, and let one go on OMtrvTeltiety- add idly, indulging hia ap petitea, and generally leading a life of pleasure; let the other train himself by early board, by temperate habits, and by giving to mnsolea and brain each their fair abaro of employment, and at the end of two or three years they will be as wide apart io their capacity for exerting, as if they had been born with wholly different constitutions. Without r. normal, healthy condition, there can, as a rule, be no good work; and though that qualification oannot absolutely be secured or preserved by any rules, a little common sense and oare will go a long ways, both in secur? ing and preserving. On that point I would give you these hints: First, that it is not mental labor that hurts snybody, unless the excess be very great, but rather fretting and fidgeting over the prospect of labor to be gone through; so that the mau who can acoustom himself to take things coolly, which is unite as much a mat? ter of discipline as of nature, and who, by keeping well before-hand with what he has to do, avoidB undue hurry and nervous exoitement, bus a great advantage over one who follows a dif? ferent practioe. Next, I would warn you that those students who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. Third, when an opportunity of cboioe is given, morning work ih generally better than night work; and lastly?a matter which I should not stop to allude to but that I know the dangers of an over-driven existence in a crowded town?if a mau cannot get through bis day's labor, of whatever kind it may be, without artificial sup? port, it should be a aerious considera? tion for bim whether that kind of labor is fit for bim at all." Abohbishop Mankind's Reply to Gladstone.?A London despatch, dated January 80, says: Archbishop Manning has issued a pamphlet of 200 pages, io reply to Gladstone's expostu? lation. He declares that the Vatican's deorees have not changed the condi? tions of civil allegiance. The alle? giance of Catholics is as undivided as .that, of any other Obristisns. Ques? tions of conscience alone could divide it. The' recent decrees have not ex? tended the power of the Pope. The jEjamenical Council iu no way touobed the relations of church and State. Its decrees merely declared doctrines which were already matters of faith. The Pope cannot, therefore, by virtue1 either of these decrees or his supreme authority, make any claim upon his adherents of a nature to impair the in? tegrity Of' their civil allegiance. He cannot do an aot contrary to Divine law. To impair civil allegiance would be oontrary to law. Tbo spiritual authority of the ohnrcb was indirect io its operation on temporal affairs. It indireotly condemns aud declares not binding such temporal laws as de? viate from the law of God, and there? fore impede the attainments of salva? tion. In regard to the supposition ad? vanced in argument, that the Pope might attempt to depose the Queen of England, the writer remarks that as the Queou is wholly withdrawn from the Catholic Churob, every condition is wanting which would render suoh deposition justifiable. Tbe Arch? bishop declares that European powers have entered into a systematic con? spiracy against tbe obnrcb, and warns them that they are thereby wrecking themselves. In conclusion, ho says Gladatone'a pamphlet iuvitea Oatholios to rebel against Di vino authority, and encourages schism, heresy and deadly sin. How to Spell Shakspbabb's Name. The spelling of Shakspeare's name baa been an orthographical puzzle that critics for a century and a half have labored over. 8tevens, Drake, Dr. Johnson, Reed, Hazlett, Chateau? briand, Lamartine, Ulrich and Boden? stedt spell the name with ten letters, thus: Bhekspeare; Ghidworth, Mason, Heath, Lord Campbell. White, Guizot and Horn insist on eleven letters, thus: Shakespeare; while still others, though loss in number and ability, de? clare for only nine letters, thus: Shaks pare. William ought to have known how to spell hia own name, and, as be wrote it Sbakspeare, we are inclined to give bim tbe benefit of ten letters as be plaoed tbem. Petroleum is so abundant in the Pennsylvania oil region that tbe more wells a man bas the poorer be is likely to be. Wells that would once have brought $250,000 ore slow at $15,000, and one man at Titusville, who lately bad an inoome of $100,000, is now hardly worth his bat. The exceeding superabundance of the oil renders it almost valueless, and It has declined from $6 to 60 oents per barrel. Tbe tendenoy of improvements in telegraphy is towards cheapness and rapidity of transmitting messagts. At a recent trial of an instrument wbiob quadruples the oepaoity of each wire, 802 business messages, ever aging teu words eaoh, were transmitted in ninety minutes over a single wire, four ope? rators working at each end thereof. The old instruments sent from sixty to eighty words per minute. Mubseb.?A diabolical murder was committed oa Saturday night, on Cali donia Plantation, Wacoamaw, in Georgetown County, by one Henry Beed. The name of tbe murdered man ia Joseph Grant, who is said to have been a quiet and inoffensive per? son. serving an ordinary r?ller rale on the table, took il op end Inquiring ft* use, was auswered: "U is a rale for conut ing-houses." Too wejl.bred, as he oonetrued politeness, to Ask onnciys sary questions, he tdrned it over and op and down repeatedly, and ait last, in a paroxysm of baffled cariosity, in? 3aired: "How, io the name of wonder, o yon count booses with this?" A wee bit of girl, while at the break* fast table a few mornings siuoe, made lood and repeated calls for battered toast. After disposing a liberal quan? tity of tbat nourishing artiole, she was told tbat too much toast would make her siok. Looking wistfully at the diBh for a moment, she thought she saw a way out of her difficulty and ex plained: "Well, give me anuzzer piece and send for the dootor." Here is a poet who ssys: "I'm sit? ting sadly on the strand, that stretches to the water's brink; and as tbe day slips slowly by, I idly fsld my hands and think." Whilst he is Bitting on tbe strand with idle folded hands, his family at home may be suffering for tbe necessaries of life. He should skirmish around before the day slipa slowly by, and secure a job at digging a cellar. Browsy Bunker, of Oarmel, loafed around all day trying to get the high? est bid for bis vote. He wanted 83; but just as tbey were about to compro? mise on $2 50, tbo enn went down and tbe inspector deolared the polls closed. All he remarked was, "Great Ceeaart is it possible I'm not in time to vote for the constitutional amendment prohi? biting bribery at elections."

For mauy years she lived in the Methodist Church lot, hard by the temple itself, for which, outside and inside, material and spiritual, she was as a member ever watchful and jealous. Charles Willisms bas been found guilty at West Chester, Pa., of libel? ing tbe pastor and officers of tbe First Presbyterisn Church of tbat borough by writing a letter, published in a New York paper, charging tbe pastor with gross immorality and tbe officers witb concealing it. William admitted 'that he wrote the letter ./br/un. "Make you a ooat, sir?" said a sus? picious tailor to a suspeoted customer, "Ob, yes, sir. with the greatest plea? sure." "There, just stand in that pohition, please, and look right npon that notice while I take yonr measure." Customer reads the notice: "Terms cash." Poetry is spoiled by the addition of a single word. A young lady, after listening to her lover'a description of the setting sun, exclaimed, "Ob, Al phonsel what a soul you have for art I You were meant for a great painter 1" Her father, unexpectedly close bebiud, added, "aud glazier I" The heir to tbe throne of China next in succession is a boy of three years of age, and bas been proclaimed Empe? ror.

A Cleveland yontb of ratber fast pro olivi iee fell in love with a parson's daughter, and as a olinober to his claims, said to the reverend gentleman, "I go my bottom dollar on piousness." j A genteel fsrmer in Massachusetts, a retired Bostonian, did't know how to take a wagon wheel off to grease tbe axle, and so he borod holes through tbe bub and poured in tbe grease. "That's a fine strain," said ooe old gent to another, alluding to the tonea of a singer at a oonoert, tbe ether evening. "Yes," was the reply, "but if he strains mnoh more he'll burst." Samuel Beed, in Chicago, on tbe 2d, shot his brother Henry through the heart, causing instant death. A domestic quarrel is supposed to be at tbe bottom of it. "A man who fesrs the Lord and osn carry home an intoxicated member," is tbe kind of Sergeant at Arms they want for tbe Minnesota Legislature. A throe oent stamp will now carry a totter from any part of the United States to a Canadian oity, and a single Canadian stamp will perform the same service the other way.
