A YOUNG woman pf Jeflersonville was informed that her affianced was in the habit of dallying with a woman in Louisville.

He knocked her down, and when she ran out into the yard to escape him he followed her. Bhe encircled her arms arcund a tree to evade his abuse, but he fiercely clutched her and wrenched her away, abusing her still more unmercitully. After this he tried to kill himself, or feigned to do so, and shot off a gun; the charge lod.ed in the ceiling instead of in his head, it is sad to meantion. TuE following is a summary of the new Ditching Law passed by the General Assembly prejared by the members of the Codilication Commiss on: ‘ i | Petitions for drainage must be presented to the Circuit Court upon the same notice as is required in case of petitions for roads under the old law. The Court eppoints two Commissioners tor every county, who, with the County Surveyor, constitute a Board of Commissioners of Drainage, and hold office for three years. To this Board all petitions pregented to the Court, if in due form of {aw, are reterred. The Commissioners are required to examine the p: emises proposed to be drained, and ir they tind the suggesied improvement to be one of public utility they will locate it to the best advantage, without being bound to follow the course subnitted in the petition. Upon making their report the parties areto have full oppo tunity to litigate and secure their rights. 1f the Court shall order the work to be done, one of the Cominissieners is to be charged to supervise the construction, being liable upon his bond for all delinjyuencies, and compelled to report to the (ourt as to .tne progress of the proceedings, the mouneys collected, and how expended from time to time. and also Leing Liable to be dealt with for negligence or misconduct, summarily as for contempt. Provision is also made whereby the Township Irustee of each township is compelled, under penalty, to keep works tor drainage in repair, assessing the expenses thereof upon the lands benetited by such repairs. The expenses of the construction of druinage works are to be met by a levy upon the lands benecfited and in proportion to the benetits afforded. The act includes the necessary legal forms tor almost every paper that it will be necessary to prepare or use in car:ying out its provisions. so. that every man of ordinary intelligence can conduct proceedings yithout the aid of a lawyer. The advantages cecured by the act are that proceedings will be conducted in Court beioie Judges who will have legal knowledee ~otf the matters in question, and who will be able to prevent people from falling into blunders; and that the Drainage Commissioners will acyu’re experience and thus be able to })revent ;the wastes and mistakes heretofore ncident! to the construction of works that thereb_vihave been rendered of little benefit to the parties interested or the public. : SENATOR VIEHE, of Terre Hauts, who has i been named 28 one of the Supreme Court Commissioners, is found ineligible, owing to a Constitutional provisipn that no Senator.o: Reresentative. shall, during the term for whi *h he may have been elected, be appoin = +d to any civil office of profit which shall have been created during such term. The ahnouncement was made on the Zlst that the Supreme Court would appoint the Commijssion in a body, and not by the Judzes acting separately, and thatno appointments would be made for several days to come.

Terrible Railway Accident, CLINTON, Towa, April 21. AN appalling accident occurred on the Rock Island Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt. Paul Railroad, formerly known as the Western Union Railroad, eight miles below this city, and one mile below Albany, IIL., at 4:20 this morning. At that hour the express train south, due in Rock llsland at six o'clock. was passing along at its usual speed. It had just left Albany. As the train approached the trestle bridge, two hundred or three hundred feet long, over the Meredosia River, near its point of juncture with the Mississippi, the engineer gave the usual short whistle; but the bridge must have appeared all right, as he did not slow up. When within a few feet of the bridge the engineer must have then noticed a suspicious appearance, as he gave two or three short, sharp whistles as signals of danger. Then immediately followed a crash, heard for - three miles in either diréction, as the whole train went down into the terrible rushing waters. The Meredosia is at a very high stage from the overflow of the Rock River bottoms beyond, and an unusual torrent-had un-ermined the trestie, so that one hundred feet of it gave way as the engine passed upon'it. . The train was composed of the engine, tender and three cars, the forward car containing the baggage, express and mail; the second car ocontuained eleven passengers;. the rear car: was the siecper, and contained three passengers and the colered porter. The engine, tender and the‘two forward cars went down into the river. The sieeper went partly ,over and hung on the verge at an acute angle. o o The engine and tender, with the engineer, William. West, and the fireman, name not learned, went down out of gight, and no sign of the locomotive or men has since been seen. The engineer is believed to have bravely stuck to his throttle, when he might possibly have saved his life by jumping. : Tne expreis messenger, Daniel Ellithorpe, and the baggageman, Samuel Flanagan, had just gone into the passenger coach before the accident, and they, with the brakeman, Henry Meyers, the conductor, Thomas Fuiler, all escaped by climbing on top of the passenger car as it was sinking, and leaping thence to the top of the slecper. Meyers had his collarbone broken and had tobe helped out. Ellithorpe and Flanagan were both badly bruised-. Three passengers in the rear car escaped by climbing out of their berths up through the rear end of the car m their night-clothes, but afterward recovered all their clothing. One of the gentlemen ran back to Albany in his nights-clothes in the rain and roused the neighbors. 3 E = Meantime, the padSenger coach, with its eleven occupants, settled into the stream, and floated off across the water thirty rods to an island, where it lodged, with.only a foot and a half of the upper part out of the water. Fortunately, the forwar@ end was badly broken, and out of this one man groped his way, and, with the help of a train man, pulled out alady and girl, who were thé only female occupants of the car, except another child, a girl two years.old, who was drowned. The mother and daughter were rescued with great difficulty, and were in a badly-bruised condition. The daughter had two orthree ribs broken, and was otherwise badly hurt internally. Two men and alad of sixteen had, in some way, climbed out of the car betore it ioated away, and got on top. As it floatéd by the approach to the wagon bridze, which was carried out by the flood yesterday, they jumped ashore, one man and g boy escaping, the other man falling into the river and being swept under thé car. Of eleven passengers in the car, only five have been found. The others have been drowned. .No one knows the names of-any one of them, except the lad above referred to, who lost his brother-in-law, with ~whom he was en route. from Pine River, Wis,, to Omaha, and Dr. Lundy. The boy positively refused to give his name. : : ; Nothing is known. of the names or destinations of the five adult passengers drowned, except of the Wis¢bnsin man and Dr. D. W. Lundy. The latter got on the ill-fated train at Albany, and was drowned within sight of his home. He was a well-known; highly estecmed physician; whose loss is deeply felt, and he is widely lamented. He was only going to the next station below to see a patient.

= A Snake Attacks a Horse. A TERRIBLE runaway of. a horse attached to a spring wagon and driven by a man named James Coons occurred on the turnpike, near Mine Hill Gap, yesterday. The horse, generally a well-disposed animal, was jogging along quietly, when one of his forefeet grazed a black snake which was crossing the road. The snake at once reared its head and sank its fangs into the horse's leg, just above the knee, at the same time coiling itsclf around the limb. The horse snorted with terror ana dashed off at a terrible pace. The driver was almost thrown from his seat, but managed to retain it and held a firm grip on the reins. The road was rough and the wagon was thrown first to one side and then to the other of the thoroughtare, as the maddened horse tried to shake off the snake in its wild race. The snake clung to his hold, but the race was brought to a sudden termination by a sharp curve in the road. The driver was un~ able to make the turn, and horse and wagon dashed into a brush fence. The driver was thrown over the fence, but fortunately alighted safely on his feet. - The horse made desperate efforts to extricate itself, and showed syeh extreme terror that Coons conciuded something uncommon must have caused his fright and subseyuent runaway. Catching the horse by the bridle he endeavored to calm the animal. While engaged in the task he noticed the snake, which .was still coiled aroand the animal's leg. Suddenly ecatehing the reptile. by the tail he pulled with ali his strength. Thetip of the tail came off in his grasp, and the snake at once uncoiled and fell to the ground.The horse. was finally extricated from his unpleasant position and securely tied until he had become somewhat quiet. The snrke was killed, It 'measured four feet six inches in length.—Pottsville (Pa.) Miners’ Journal. e s ——————— - Extraordinary Exhibition of Strength. ONE of the most remarkable feats ever per—formed in this section. was witnessed in the high road leading out from this town in the direction of Shoe Heel, tiriB morning. A farmer about seventy years of age, named Meredith Gaddy, drove into town in an ox-cart aft” er a load of corn. He got ten bushels of this grain, purchased a few articles for his wifeand children, took & few drinks of mountain whisky, and started for his home, fiftecen miles off. The ox, which was a sorry one, a diminutive specimen of thawuseful animal, after getting about five miles from here gave out and could not be forced to move a step further. Nothing daunted, old man Gaddy unyoked the--ox, took him out, and putting the yoke on his own neck drew the loaded cart the rest of the way home, which was about ten miles, up hilk and down hill. The determined old fellow trudged along the highway with his burden, jeered at by the .children, and &n object of general interest to the passers-by. Upon reaching home Gaddy carried his load up to the front portico. He remarked to his wife, that if ‘‘that little ox hadn’t beenso darned obstinate I would have put him in the cart and drawn him along home, t 00.” Gaddy is the father of twenty-one children, of whom there are two pairs of twins. Although seventy years of age, he is regarded as the most powerful man in this county.~Lumberton (N. C.)
