of this hellish outrage are as follow.-.

On Wednesday evei.ii.ic_the little girl

I'.ninia, the unfultimate victim, in com- ,.'p

pony with an older sinter, visited the house of Mr. Arthur .Johnson, both families living in the village. About six o'clock the elder sister returned home little .Knuna having been seen in the rear porch but a few minutes before-—seen. perhaps, for tbe last time, living, save by by the brutal villian, who, for the momentary gratification of a fiendish lust, foully murdered her, and enveloped her once joyous home in the deepest gloom. After a search of four hours her body was discovered in a stable on the premise!) of Mr. Johnson, at whose house she had last been seen. 11 or body was in a siting posture the lower limbs cramped. 8be was rigid and cold, having been dead apparently, about, four hours. Her nock bore evident marks of strangulation, and also the imprint of a bite, the teeth marks being peculiar and plainly visible. As before stated, she had been fiendishly outraged, and to make the crime even more diabolical, if possible, the act in the opinion of the physicians, was perpetrated after life was extinct!

In the midst of the intense excitement suspicion seemed to center on a half wittcd fellow named .Johnson, a son of the gontleuian an whose premises tho dead body was found, but no evidence was brought out before the coroner's investigation that would make it probable that he is tho guilty one. Justice Bcnucttatoneeimpnnueled a coroner's jury, who heard the *'.testimony of several witnesses, but eliciting nothing giving the least clue to the murderer, rendered a verdict in accordance with the foregoing statement. ohn•PH, tho lialf-wittcd fellow spoken of, is fgigtwciity years of age, and has hitherto i'^&Sbcen regarded harmless and inoffensive.

The casting of suspicion upon him withijj out any substantial basis is cruel. The association of his name with the crime is sheer surmise. a That such a crime should be committed in daylight, iu a stirring village, and the perpetrator loug remain unknown, almost 11 durpasses belief. It is to be hoped the _^V -'truth of the declaration—"murder will DrilfifSj

out"—will be verified in this ease. The family of Mr. Kneisley is well known iu thia county, and in highly respected. It .... is also proper to add that the family of :Mr. Johnson are worthy and respectable

people, and whom sorrow has smitten 'with a heavy hand, in the implication, by suspicion, of an unfortunate son and brother in the shocking tragedy.

ti Fearful Lightning Stroke—Fall or 'a Tliiiriilcrbolt In the Midst, of a Croud of People—Nearly One Hundred I'crsons Prostrated—Three not Kxpected to Survive —Span of Horses Killed Outright, etc. 1 Last Thursday afternoon, about five clock, a large crowd had assembled in the Fair (iround of the Springfield 1'nion

Agricultural Association, when a sharp thunderstorm suddenly came up. The r.iin began to fall, and the crowd sought refuge from its effects in the exhibition sheds. A flash of lightning took place accompanied by a loud jical of thunder, nild instantly an awful spectacle was presented.

The lightning struck a post in the center of the shed, against which Henry TilIon, tho landlord of the West Falls llotel, was loaning, and to which a horse was attached by a chain halter. The horse was killed instantly, while Mr. Tillou escaped by being dazed and knocked down. A singular fact mentioned in connection with the strange freak of tho uloctric fluid

is that all the persons rcmlcrol insensible full upon their laces. A younj lady named MNs Nellie (.'assay, who wore a while and black checked dress, was quite seriously injured, and her dress was fairly scorched, but did not take lire. Another woman was struck on the shoulder, the fluid passing down her side, raising a perfect blister in its course. A man from Otto was hit on the ri^ht side of the head, and on bis recovery the mark was iuund to commence at the right I eye. which was swelled like a puff-ball, ami could be plainly traced down the neck, across the chest and oil' the left arm.

The most fearful consternation existed I amoiiir tbe people until it was discovered bow light tbe injuries were that hud been inflicted, and the excitement was most inI tense. A great. many attributed tbe stroke.to the attraction of a mowing ma-

cliiiK! which .stood near the shed, lint two boys who were sitting on it. at the time esI caped uninjured, nor was tlie machine at all damaged if struck.

And a mother kind and true. Who loved mo fondly all my life Hut my heart went out with you.'

A valuable marc which was hitched to the pole was knocked down, and died on Friday from the effects of the li:htuin!.

Tlu- Fate ol' Mavlmlllau ami .leffcrstin Davis. The New York Trilniiir makes the following comment upon the execution of Maximilian

We regard this execution as a disaster to Mexico. Whatever may be said of his imperial enterprise, Maximilian was a liberal and enlightened prince. When Austria made him Viceroy of her 1 talian provinces, he was so generous toward conquered Lombard)' and Venice thai lie was recalled. In Mexico such a rule as was permitted to him showed a progressive statesmanship, lie was an accomplished gentleman. The end of his life shi ws that he was a brave and self-denying soldier. To take such a man a prisoner in broad day, and shot him, merely because he had been unfortunate in war, is a blunder. To do so iu defiance of the civilized world is a crime. To America it is an insult. We merely ask the poor boon of this helpless, unfortunate young man's life, and it is denied. We gave Mexico national triumph, and in return site spurns even our counsels of mercy.

We feel this more keeulv because of our treatment of Jefferson Davis. We had a class of people here who insisted that war was not complete until wo had hanged a man—a poor old man of sixty. Like the cannibals of Africa, the only fruits of their victory were the wasted bodies of the enemies. The clamor was so loud that even wise men bowed their heads and joined in it. At one time it was Icared IU.II *».n ...'UUIPLIIIDF WNM would be dishonored by a gallows. Rut the better sense of people prevailed, and the leader of one of the greatest rebellions in history was set free. How much nobler in the eyes of the world will America appear with Davis free than Mexico with this dead body of an amiable and unfortunate prince. Is Davis living any more dangerous than Maximillian dead? Is America weaker than Mexico, because of this magnanimity? Rather does not Maximilian's name receive a glory from the circumstanccs of his melancholy death, which Davis may have reason to envy? Tlio worst wo cau do with a traitor is to make a martyr of him and Maximilian, bereft of crown, scepter, kingdom, army—nay, eveu of his wife and his heritage—driven from his capital, conquered and betrayed, could wish nothing more than the chance to show tho world that he could die like a soldier and a prince.

The Kind of Law-makers Me Ila\e.?£-£ General Logan, of Illinois, is a good specimen of a Radical. lie introduced a resolution into the House of Representatives proposing to rule out the Kentucky members of Congress, because "the elections in their favor were carried by the votes of disloyal and returned rebels,"In a speech in favor of his proposition he showed how much he knew about the Kentucky election by declaring, "as an historical fact, that at that "lection a tnan was elected Governor who had been a traitor aud a rebel.'

was elected at all at that election, and will not be until August. The Democratic candidate, Governor Helm, who will be elected,^stood by the Union during the whole war. If he was opposed to the coercive policy, it was no more than Logan himself was in the beginning of the struggle. There were uot over thirty thousand men from Kentucky who went into the Confederate service, and of these not over fifteen thousand ever returned. The Democratic majority on Congress was about forty thousand, or nearly three times as much as the vote of the men who had been in tho Southern army, aud who, Logan informs us, carried the election.

A Serious Snake Story.

The following interesting serious snake story we find in the Marion (().) Mirnn-

of the lid of July. It says: TKHIUUI.K STIU:« UI,E WITH A SNAKE. —A few days since the wife of Mr. Wm. Richardsou, of Waldo Township, missed her little boy, went out in the gardeu to hunt him. To her horror, she saw the little fellow (eighteen mouths old) literally enveloped in the folds of a monster snako. ller cries did not reach the father. who was at work in a neighboring field, and seeing her boy black with strangulation, she heroically seized tho snake in her hands and tore it loose.— No sooner was he loose, however, than lio iniiiJe for the mother ferociously, and coiled himself about her person, attempting to strangle her, as he did the boy.— She again seized him, aud disengaged herself from him, and killed him with an ax. The little child swelled up for several days, but has finally recovered. The snake was what is called the "blue racer," which does not bite but strangles, and measured ten feet. Wff have the statement from Mrs. Jl. herself, and it may be relied on as strictly true. It is one of the most shocking affairs we ever heard narrated, and as she rolatos it, would make your blood run cold.

DAIUNO OUTIIAOK.—On Tuesday eveuing four desperadoes entered the dwelling of Jacob Miller, a respectable farmer of Wcstfield township, Union county, Pennsylvania, and demanded his money, and struck tho old gentleman upon the head, evidently using metal knuckles, severely wounding him. They then bound Mr. aud Mrs.-Miller and a young {lady named Clark, the daughter of a neighboring farmer, who was spending tho evening at the house, and handcuffed a laboring man employed on tho premises. Two of the men then proceeded to seach the upper part of the house, while the others remained below with the family.
