Rather a dangerous experiment. The Wisconsin Norwegian synod recently appropriated $1,000 for distribution to the Irontier grasshopper sufferers. G. J. Hopkins, a Giles county farmer, came to Nashville with $1,000 to invest in hogs. He was roped into a gambling house and lost it all.

YoshiJa Kigonari, the Japaneso minister to Washington, left San Francisco for the Kant Wednesday, accompanied by his wile and the secretary ot legation. The As'.or House (N.

The State Poultry Association, at its sec ond annual exhibition, in Dubuque, com mencm; uecemoer io, win comer ?i,o in premiums. There are also special awards to the amount or $000 ottered. Tit lor tat is thus put by the Graphic, with an illustration: "And now tell me why you left your last place?" "I will tell you that, ma'am, when you have told roe why you parted with your last cook." A council ot war in New Caledonia re cenUy went through the formality ot sen' Gencin;? count itocnerort ana bis compan ions, rascal Urousset and Pain, to two years' Imprisonment each for escaping from that island. The Dachesa of Edinburgh was recently presented with a splendidly bound copy of the Holy Scriptures in imperial quarto, in closed in a beautiful oaken casket. The volume was the gift of more than 8,000 sub scribers, maidens of the united kingdom. and was presented bv a 'deputation of 15 ladies. Some ot our wealthiest people are feeling the hard times keenly. A lady, yesterday, declined to pay more than 175 for a velvet cloak, on the ground "that there were so manv poor 'laboring people out of employ. ment and needing;thenecessarios of life." JNew lor&Mau. Mrs. t . is. w. Harper, a lady colored ora tor from Philadelphia, Is addressing her peo ple in various parts of tho West. She is described as an intelligent, good-looking woman, of decided color, and speaks in a nuent, nmsnea style that is evidence of genuine culture. Among other things against Arnim, the inspired press inGermany said that he utilized the knowledge obtained diplomatically in operation, on the Bourse. Von Arnim said, in answer, that he could eat on Holy Friday without sin, all the meat that could be bought with money gained by him in such transactions. Says the Figaro: "The carpet-weavers of I Kidder minister are a manly lot. They demand the exclusion ot women from the privilege of earning a living at the looms.

A new institution of benevolence, a home for widows and single women, has lately been opened In Philadelphia, under the auspices of Presbyterians, at an outlay of ?. 0,000. This seems to meet a want in that city, especially as one. of the most spacious and conspicuous buildings there has been rected by the Methodists as a home for aged men. "I am come for my umbrella," said the lender of it on a rainy day, to a friend. 4'Can't help that," said the borrower; "don't you see I am going out with it?" "Well, yes," replied the lender, astonished at such outrageous impudence; "yes, but-but what am I to do?', "Do!" said the other, as he opened the umbrella and walked off; "do as I did borrow one." At the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of tbe Baltimore A Ohio railroad Wednesday, John W. Garrett was unanimously re-electeu president, being his seventeenth term. Tbe general administration of the road will bo performed by the vice president and Garrett will only aid In regard to the policy of the company and the management of its finances. A French paper tells of a marriage which occurred not long ago where the bridegroom, unable to write, signed his name on the register with a cross. The brido, though the had received a good education, did the same, replying to a relative who whispered a remonstrance. "Did you wish me to humiliate mv husband in thb solemn

act by placing Lim In a state of Inferiority to his wife? I will soon manage that he will be able to write." Helen M. Cooke, writing verses in the Golden Ace.says that kisses on her brow are the richest diadems her woman's soul aspires to wear, It may also be remarked that there are unsurpassed for cheapness, which is a point worth considering. If Helen is young and pretty, and will come west, she shall be loaded down with Jewels. Somebow or other the women we' have are base enoujb to bellevo that they can't shine In society on k loses alone. An interesting ejectment case was brought up in the United States District Court In

ttttsbunr. Wednesday, involving some 90 acres of land near the ccn ter of the city, valued at severa millions of dollars, and known as the Mowry estate. The suit Is brought by Bernard L. Meister, of Bay Citv.

She is the alleged daughter of Wm. Mowry by an In dian wife and on the legality ci mis mar riago the suit seems to depend. Are your busines cares so pressing, or have they hardened your heart so that you have no care or thought for the poor old mother who has looka 1 in vain, so long, for a letter from her boy? She has suffered toiietl, denied herseir, overlooked your faults, and prayed for you; the one true friend you have on earth can you neglect her now ! Ob, comfort and cheer her, II only by a few written lines. Don't let her think he la forgotten. Do you consider how little she has to interest her? Wealth, honor or fame have no charms for her now. She has passed beyond all that. Her happiness is in her children, and the visions of the bright, beautiful home in the better land that is waiting tor her. Then do not cast her off as vou would a worn-out, worthless garment. Make smooth and pleasant her downward pathway, that the evening of life may be calm and cloudless as a summer day. VICKSBURG VARIETIES. THE BISTORT OF TUB AFFAIR AS TOLD BY THE HOME PAPERS A!? ACCOUNT OF THE ENQAOEMENT. A special to the Chicago Tribune from New Orleans, the 9th Inst., gives the follow ing version of the whole affair, as given by Vicksburg papers: The Herald states that Crosby resigned at the demand of the tax papers' meeting last A ednesday; that he left town the same evening, and Thursday morning took a freight train for Jackson at Bovica, a small station outside of Vicksburg. Arrived at the capital, bo obtained an inter view with Gov. Ames, to . whom he gave an account of the proceed insrs of the previous dav. The result of tho conference was that Ames ordered Crosby to return and call out an armed posse, and reinstate himself in the office of sheriff. Crosby returned, sajs the Herald, and immediately ordered Andrew Owens, a leading negro, to collect all the nezroes in the Bovina neighborhood, and gather all the arms to be lound, and march them into the city on Monday morning. Crosby dis patched messengers to every por tion of the county with similar instructions, and on Saturday Crosby gave written orders to hia subordinates to this effect, these arrangements being made by the advice and counsel of Gov. Ames and Attorney General Harris Rumors of these facts were spread around the street on Sun day, auJ on Monday morning the fire-alarm bells were rung at 3 o'clock, and again at 5, calling the citizens to arms, but, no enemy appearing, they returned again to their homes. At U o'clock, however, the bells rang again, and halt an hour alter 100 men, under Col. Horace Miller, marched out Grove street and met apart of negroes under Andrew Owens inside the city limits. Col, Miller rode forward and ordered the negroes to disperse, but Owens replied that they were there In response to orders from Sheriff Crosby, and would only disperse at Crosby's orders. Owens was permitted to visit Crosby at the court house where be was confined, and returned with orders from Crosby to retire to their homes. The Vicksburger describes this affair as follows: 'There apoeared much reluctance to go, and Col. Miller, finding this the case ordered an advance. A lew shots were fired on the more advanced ones by the negroes, which were returned. TLo negroes then broke and lied up the ravines, and a general but desultory fire was commenced bv" our men. driving the negroes off rapidly, and resulting ia killing six or eight negroes and wounding about as many, h ifteen or twenty prisoners were taken. No white men hurt." The Herald then gives this account of what it terms the most sanguinary engagement ol the day, where only one white man was hurt, and he outside of the regular light, while twenty-five of their opponents were killed: "About 10 o'clock the negroes were encountered, strongly entrenched in the old federal breastworks, just under the brow of tho hill, immediately this side of the Pemberton monument;. The citizens opened a skirmish lire upon them, which was kept up lor more than halt an hour without any effect on either side. While this skirmishing was going on, Capt. John Hagar, with several white men from the neighborhood of Snyder's Bluff, en route for tne city, came up on tne opposite side ot the hill, and were fired upon from an ambush. Mr. Oliver Brown, a son-in-law of Mr. Snyder, was shot through the head and almost instantly killed. Oant. Hnfran'a mm nan v and thn citizens then made a terriffic charge upon tne negroes, who took retuge in a canebrake, after a short and bloody ficht. About the necroea who ti twenty-five of the poor dupes and wretches were killed and wounded here. After their first vollev upon Capt. Hogan's comnanv they fired wildly, and although their loss was heavy, no other casualty was reported on the side of tbe whites. Two or three other minor fights were reported, but at 11:30 o'clock the war was over, and no more negroes were to be found, although the town was in arms and under great excite ment throughout the day. During tbe morn ing MAYOR O'LEARY ISSUED A PROCLAMATION contradicting the proclamation of Gov. Ames, averring that certain citizens of Vicksburg and Warren county were riotO'i and disorderly, and that the officials had beeu obliged to flee for their lives. Tbe mayor declared that the meeting of the tax payers was quiet and orderly, and that the city government of Vicksburg was able to maintain tbe peace, and warning armed bodies of colored men to disperse to their homes, and calling upon all good citizens to hold themselves iu readiness to respond to any. call he might make upon them for the purpose ot enforcing his proclamation. The neraia anciv lcKsburger unite In denouncing Governor Ames in the most unmeasured terms as a murderer, assassin, etc.. and calling lor swiit vengeance to be dealt to him. It has been impossible thus far to ob tain more than one side of the tory. The absurdity ot thai side is apparent when fierce engagements are described, whose casualties are all on the part ol the negroes, forty or fifty of whom, and perhaps a greater number, have been killed, against one white man.

Her father's modest cot was stone, Five stories high. In style and tone Composite, and, 1 frankly own, within Its walls revealing Some certain novel, strange Ideas; A Gothic door with Roman piers.

The small salon where she received Was Louis tf uatorze, and iclleved MyChiuene cabinets, conceived Grotesquely by the heathen ; The sofas were a classic sight The Roman bench (sedllla hight); The chairs were French, lu gold and white, And one Elizabethan.

THE DENVER EATRESS OX THE KANSAS PA CTFIU RAILROAD STOPPED BY A MASKED BAND TBE SAFE OF WELLS, KAROO fc CO, PLUNDERED ABOUT FORTY THOUSAND DOL LARS CARRIED OFF. A special to the Cincinnati Commercial from Kanens City, the 8th Inst., gives the following facts concerning tbe train robbery i at . I . maus mcmiou oi uy teiegrapn: xne regular Denver express on the Kansas Pacific road, due here at 4:15 this afternoon, was plundered of about thirty thousand dollars at a point twelve miles west of this city, The highwaymen escaped with their bootv. From the conductor of the train, J. Brinker hoof, the following particulars are ob tained: I he tram. consisting of two coaches and a Pullman, all well filled with passengers, neared Munciesta tion on time, it being a point where it stopped only when flagged. Th9 engineer, in response to a signal made by a man wav ing a scarf, whistled down brakes, and. iuat as he succeeded in stopping the train, discov ered a. obstruction on the track, in the shape of a barricade of ties. But a mo ment elapsed before revolvers were drawn on him, two masked men iumned upon the cab, and ordering him to un couple the express and baggage car from the coaches, and pull it ud the track. In the meantime, three other masked men. five in all, boarded the express car, and, with presented revolvers, commanded the express and mail agents, as well as the baggage master, to hold their hands above their heads at the peril ol their lives. The robbers then compelled the express agent to open the sale and hand out gold and currency to the estimator! amount of JsJO.OUO. This in hand the prisoners were compelled to leave the car ahead of tbe robbers, who deliberately proceeded to tbeir horses, and, killing a fanner's horse standing by, in order to cut offpursnit, mounted and dashed awa. The conductor was in tho smoking car when the train stopped, and, comprehending the situation at the nrst inkling.calltd for a revolver. At this the passengers became terribly excited, and, the news spreading to the other coach, the very devil was to pay. Women pulled their jewelry and hid it beneath their skirts, men hid behind seats, and it was not until the robbers were mounted, ready to ride away, that a revolver was found. This was discharged out of a window at them, and brought back a response that silenced further marksmanship, though no one was hurt. Conductor Brinker hoof, fearful that a freight tsain then due would dash upon the train, ran out to Hag it, and persisted, in spite of tnree attempts, to snoot mm. JNoneol the robbers entered the coaches, and no effort to plunder was made outside the express car. The live men were closely masked with woolen scarfs. They are described as well dressed, and thought to be the Gad's Hill crowd. Of the wealth secured five thousand was in gold dust for Kountze Bros., New York, bankers; in currency belonging to the Mastin Bank, ol this city." Messrs. Bullere, More A- Emery, dry goods merchants of this city, lose in the neighborhood of 20,000. xe waras as ioiiows nave already been offered: Wells Fargo Exprsss Company, $0,000 for men, ji,uuu each, dead or alive, and 500 for money; tfie Kansas Pacific offers $5,000, and (ov. Osborn, of Kansas, 2,500, making 717,000 in ail. A. special to the St. Louis Republican from Kansas city, the Jth inst. gives the follow ing additional facts; The train robbers have not been captured. Late last night Sheriff Drought with a posse of men went north, ininking to meet them at l'arkville. On their way they found a band of sufferers from Kansas in camp. They surrounded them and ordered them to surrender. They soon discovered their mistake and returned. A company of soldiers from Leavenworth has been ordered in pursuit. At o'clock yesterday TUE ROI111EKS WERE feKKN to cross the Kaw river, about five miles from this city, where they changed horses and coutinued going south. They passed through Shawnee, on the Missouri River, Fort Scott tt Gulf road. Telegrams have been sent all over the state and hopes are entertained of capturing them. It appears from an interview with the station agent at Muncie, where the robbery occurred, that they arrived there 20 minutes before train time and ordered him and two men inside, placed a railroad rail across tbe tracK and Hugged the train. No one was hurt. It Is now thought the James boys did the business. The robbers of tbe Wells & Fargo express yesterday encamped within six miles of this city last nig'it and divided the spoils. No one was in pursuit. They were seen with masks off, and are described so minutely that they can bo identified. Gov. Woodson telegraphs from Jefferson City to SheriffBoothe as follows: If there is a reasonable probability that the parties implicated in this robbery of the Kansas Pacific railroad this evening have fled to and are now in Missouri, spare di pains to arrest them. Let them have no shelter in Jackson county, or any other county In this state Take no steps without reliable information, but in tbe event you are satisfied that they are in this state, let neither men or money be

spared in the efforts to capture them, and the state will pay all necessary and proper charges not paid by the state of Kansas. THE SMOKY LULLS MASSACRE. THE STORY OF THE LITTLE GERMAN GIRLS THE RESCUE BT OES. MILES COMMAND THE TERRIBLE FATE OF THE OLDEST SISTERS. The Leavenworth Commercial gives the following additional particulars of the tradegy connected with the capture of tLe little German girls by the Indians: The family consisted of man, wife and several children. They were from Georgia en route to Colorado. At Smoky Hill the Cheyennes came upon them in broad daylight, shot the father, brained the mother and old aon with an axe, and then started for camp with tbe daughters. Here it was very apparent what the massacre was committed tor solely to get possession of the girls, and force tbem to a life worse than death. Tho oldest daughter proved to be an invalid, and she was put out of the wav with a knock in the head. The little ba"y girl was brained against a tree and the family of nine was reduced to four girls, aged respectively 19, 15, 8 and 5. The two youngest Julia and Adelaide not belüg odd enough to occupy the lodges of the brave, were turned over to tbe squaws, who treated tbem in the most barbarous and inhuman manner. They had scarcely enough dried buCalo meat to keep them from starvation, and were obliged to ride astride of the raw boned Indian ponies till their limbs from heel to thigh were completely scarrilied and covered with running sores. When captured they were in a most deplorable condition, and would have lasted but a few days longer. As tbe partic

ulars ot the capture are exceedingly inter esting we give tbem as related by Dr. Pow ell: lbe troops came very suddenly upon the savages, who were camped on the brow of a hill, and charged the camp before the savages recov ered from their surprise. They did not have a chadce to save a single thing but their ponies, which were spirited off by the squaws at the very first shot. The older white girls were forced to ero with the ponies and the little ones left where they had been sleeping while the ngni went on. it was a desperate strug' gle. Tbe military vere fighting their way up bill inch by inch, and the bullets flew like rain above and around the little ones, who, wrapped up in a buffalo rope, were in the thickest of the fire. Not till the redskins had been routed and the ground passed over two or three times were the little waits dis covered. Tbe soldiers first TOOK THEM FOR PAPPOOSES, but when the youngest exclaimed, "I am so glad the soldiers.bave come," -there was no doubt regarding their nativity, and for the nonce the the flying Cheyennes were iorgotten, and every attention given to the little prairie bios soma so unexpectedly, uncovered. Both of tbe children were stark naked with tbe exception of a piece ot army blanket tied about the loins and worn out moccasins. lbe soldiers at once provided for the wants of their little proteges, and raising a purse oi money, placed them in charge of Dr. I'owell and sent him to Leav enwortn with orders to report io uen. rope lor lurther Instructions. Gen. Pope will provide lor tbe children until he can obtain an appropriation for their education and support from the Chevenne fund. We understand the relations of the children have been beard from. Thev sent a letter from Fort Wallace when the Smoky Hill massacre was "first reported. Gen. Pope has telegrapaed for this letter, and it will be here in a day or two. THE REMAINING SISTERS. As to what has, or will become of the two girls of the same family yet in the hands of the savages, we are at a loss to contemplate. That they are better cared for and protected is to be presumed from the fact that they are made to satisfy the hellish lust of the young men and warriors of the band. The first movement ol the savages when attacked was to place them beyond reach of the troops. The next eldest girK Sophie, was torn away from the side of the little ones and with Catherine, the oldest, made to accompany the Bquaws to a pUce of safety. Dr. i'owell thinks there is some horje of capturing these sisters vet. He af firms that if the troops ever run across that band of savages again there will be a Smoky Hill atmosphere overhang the battleground, for the b"ys are terribly excited over the brutal treatment the little ones received, and are full of sympathy and solicitude for the fate of those yet in captivity. It is a heartrending and sickeoiDg affair from beginning to end.' The father, mother, brother and oldest sister butchered in cold blood. and four young, innocent and delicate girls carried into captivity to be ravished and starved to death. SMART WAITER GIRL. THE NEGOTIATIONS OF AN OLD FOOL AND A SHARP HOTEL GIRL. The New "i ork correspondent of tho Bos ton Journal tells the following: Last sum mer a wealthy manufacturer of New England visited the White Mountains. He became intatuated with one of he waiter girls. He was seventy and the maiden was seventeen. He agreed to give her an education and adopt her, though be bad several dauzh ters of his own. She joyfully accepted tbe proposition, nung ner white apron behind the door, and started on her new life. Ot course the connection could not be verv sat isfactory to the family. The girl had a vein of shrewdness about her, and insisted that a formal paper of adoption should ba drawn op. This was done, and the girl was sent to a well known educational institution to re ceive a little polish. A correspondence was kept up .between the parties. But to outsiders tbe matter was not satisfactory, and the principal refused to receive the young lady into the school after the vacation was over. Soon after tbe gentleman became crazy, and was removed to a lunatic asylum; removed, as the girl said, to get him beyond her reach. Tbe remittances failed, and of course there was trouble in the new school into which tbe girl had entered. On the passing away of Insanity the infatuation ot the old man seemed to go with it. He tried to break up the correspondence without success, and the family exerted all their influence to recover the fatal bond of adoption, but the girl held on to it. She had, besides, a bushel of letters breathing tho most ardent alection. A pecuniary negotiation was set on foot, which at first the maiden repudiated. She professed to be devotedly attached to the old man, and did not want monej But it was discovered that the document, as a legal claim, was not worth the aper it was written on. Then tbe young ady came to terms, and tbe sum ot $3.500 healed her broken heart and wrung from her anobligtlion that she would trouble tbe old man no more. A council of tbe granges of Southwestern Ohio, Southeastern Indiana and Northern Kentucky was held at Greenwood Hall, Cin cinnati, on Wednesday. About 60 delegates were present. A resolution was adopted that a purchasing agent be chosen, to be located in Cincinnati, for the purpose of purchasing and selling for the members of the order. Tbe council also decided that as the price of pork was so near their views they saw little necessity for packing it. Committees were appointed to look after the coal, tobacco and fruit Interests, and tbe council adjourned to meet in Covington in March next.

' The New York World of the Cth inst. gives this account of an unusual exciting scene in that city: Tbe great Roman hippodrome was the scene yesterday morning of an act net laid down In the bill. For some time past it has been the intention of the man agement to placa in the same pen the two roinoceroses which are the property of the hippodrome. For the last 10 days the employes of the hippodrome have been en gaged in enlarging the cage occupied by the luuiaa ruinoccros aunng last spring. The pen in which the two were to reside is situated on the Twenty-sixth street side of tne bunding, adjoining tbe enclosure in which the eiepbants are confined. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the eleßhants Betsey and her four companions Gvdbv, Queen, Albert and "Baby" were removed into another part of tbe building. The gate uiviaing tne cago ol the rhinoceros from the elephant enclosure was then opened,and "Pete," the huge animal, was driven into the former place. Tbe cage containing tbe other rhinoceros was dragged from its posi tion ana placed in iront ol the entrance door ol I'ete's pen. Hy means of bars and iron rods the late artival was induced to leave its cage, as it was supposed that the meeting betwoen the two rhinoceroses would be provocative of some amusement. There were gathered around the cage a most heteroge neous assemblage, foremost among whom were Mr. Bam urn and Messrs. S. H. Hurd and Dan. Castello, who were surrounded by anumoeroi others. L'nfortunatelv the meet ing dc i ween me two gigantic animals was far from being a pacific one. "Pete" was no sooner driven into his old cage than he made a most desperate attack unon the new arrival, making the most violent efforts to injure her with hi3 formidable tusks. The one introduced, a female of the African breed, attempted for some time to ward off the terrific lunges which the other made. ana so long as they STOOD FACE TO FACE she was enabled to do this, but in her strug gles she p'aced herself directly across the front bars of the cage. Tbe combat by this time had driven all the spectators from the field, leaving Mr. Chas. White, his assistant, George, Mr. Nathans, Mr. Fuller, and sev eral of tbe emploves alone in their efforts to separate the infuriated beasts. In the mean time "Pete" had driven his smaller adver sary up against the bars of the cage, and with one or two well directed blows forced the bars of the cage com pletely apart, throwing tbe African rhinoceros out into the passage way, The most determined efforts were now made by the gentlemen above mentioned to sepa rate the two, and by means of a white can vass cloth placed in front of the cage "Pete" was debarred from doing further damage, The female rhinoceros was badly hurt, the armor scales, as they might be called, being broken in several places. She resisted for some time the efforts of her keepers to drive her Into her cage, but arter numerous urgings she was induced to take up her old quarters. At tbe close of the af ternoon exhibition, there was a scene of excitement which far exceeded tbe above rencontre in intensity. It is the custom of the establishment to feed the animals at the close ot the matinee. While this was going on two of the lions confined on the south side of the building exhibited considerable excitement, as is customary at tbe time of feeding. Some one ln the crowd of spectators exclaimed that "the animals were loose." A most fearlul scene ensued. Shrieks and cries were heard everywhere, and for several minutes the utmost confusion prevailed, several ladies fainting.

This distinguished benefactor ol the educational interests of the country having died yesterday, the Sentinel reproduces the subjoined sketch of his life, from the "Great Men of Our Time": "He was born at Westchester Landing, Westchester county, N. Y., January 11, 1S07. When he was twelve years of age his parents removed to De Ruiter, Madison count', N. Y. His advantages of school education were very small. Such as they were, however, be improved them to the utmost. lie was a natural mechanic, and acquired, almost bv in tuition, a knowledge ot tools and machinery of all kinds, which enabled him to adapt himself to all emergencies with won derful facility. He turned in suc cession to different kinds ol business, and was wonderiully successful In all. Soon after the invention of tbe magnetic telegraph Mr. Cornell became interested in it, acci dentally" at first, but soon gave up all other pursuits todevote his energies to this. It was largely owing to his zeal and energy that it attained to the magnificent success which it has since achieved. Mr. Cornell, investing his return in telegraph stock and in Westtern land, became of late years one of the very few wealthy men in the United States; and with the accumulation of property came the honorable desire to expend it for the good of his fellow men. His first act of large liberality was the endowment ot a large public library in Ithaca, N. Y., where he made himself a home. Fifty thousand

dollars was expended for the object, but Mr. Cornell, who was now a member of the state Senate, soon perceived that thero was a wider opening to do good than this. He resolved to build and endow a universitv where all branches of learning, technology as well as science, and the arts as well as the classics, could be taught. After fully considering the plan, be set aDart $700,000, and gave $i,000 to another college to secure his charter, he founded the Cornell Universily at Itbaca. The next year be procured the giant of agricultural college lands made bv Congress, 090.000 acres lor this universit. bJ," 6kU1 ln di9Poing of tbe land will add rJ.000,000, and, perhrps, more to the endowment. The university has now len tor years in operation and has about twelve hundred students. Others have added to the endowment and the founder has seen, before his death, a magnificent university which his own band created fullv equipped for usefulness."

The St. LouU Republican of the yth inst. contains the following additional particulars Of the Mississippi lank robbery briefly referred to by telegraph: A resident ot St. Louis who has just arrived from the south gives the following account of a most daring robbery and brutal murder perpotrated at Corinth. Miss. The stories of Gad's Hill, and the Missouri free-riders offer nothing more startling iu the boldness and P.re9nmP"on of the authors of the bloody crime. Three or four days ago. four strangers, apparently from Texas, made their appearance in Corinth. Miw.. and gave out their intention of making a short stay In tbe town. They were all provided with very fine horses, which they had ? J? f Jivery 8tbl. men themselves taking their meals at a restaurant. On Monday of the present wek, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock p. m., an Important case was being tried at the court house, and there were very few people on the streets, a large crowd having assembled to hear the close of the trial. Taking advantage of this state of things the four strangers saddled their horses and rode np to the door or the Tishomingo Savings institution, the principal bank oi the town, where they dismounted and went Inside. At tbe time the robbers entered there were only two persons in the counting-room, namely, . .VAVU-,Talor President and chief owner of the bank, who was engaged behind the counter, and a colored man named Anthony Williams, who was outside the counter near the door. Immediately noon entering, the robbers all passed inside the counter with drawn revolvers, keeping a sharp lookout on Williams, whom they threatened to shoot if he made the slightest disturbance. The affrighted negro was thus compelled to witness a horrible scene. One ot the men went straight up to Mr. Taylor, saving. "Old man, we have COME TO KILL YOU and rob you." at the same ti ia,i. him across the forehead with a knife. The victim, blinded by the blood which streamed down over his face, still attempted to retist his assailants, when one of them Bhot him fatally. In the meantime, the other two had found their way to the safe, which they speedily rilled ol between f 30,000 and ?40,0OO in money and other valuables. While they were occupied in this business. William found an opportunity to slip out at the door and make his escape. He had hardly got filteen steos away when one of the robbers rushed out to stop him, but seeing he was tco late, fired at him tth a revolver. The shot fortunately missed the negro, who continued to nm. shnnt. ing at tbe top of hin voice " murder! hATr" The robbers tbqn hastily secured their plunaer in a sack, which they had prepared tor the purpose, and remountinc rrnl nn-av each one taking a different riirwfinn ts elude pursuit. The entire communitr was quickly aroused, and parties sallied out in every direction to capture the murderers. with what success it is impossible to state as yet. Clarke s New Method Piano-Forte.
