REMINGTONIAN.

A Young Girl Stabbed.

A Very Mysterious Affair. Great excitement was caused in Rensselaer by an affair which took place late Tuesday evening. Two young couples, Ellison Condraand his fiancee Miss Daisy Thornton, "who works in the Nowels House, and Arthur Williams, who lives a few miles south of town atid Miss Emma King, were walking together, tiielatter couple just behind the others. When about in front of Bluekßros. lestaiirant. the respect vi couples began playfully primpi'g each other with pins. This- v. ~.1 kept up until they all reached the Makeever House, in front of which they all stopped. Miss Thornton then saw Williams make a pass at her and felt a sucden sharp pain from the effects of which she nearly fell. She asked Williams what he had struck her with. He held up a small pin and said that it was with that. They all walked ou a little further and Miss Thornton became so sick as to be unable to proceed further. She soon recovered however, sufficiently to be able to return to the Nowels House, where the other members of the party left her,none of them, apparently, knowing that she was hurt to any extent. On reaching her room she found that she had been bleeding quite ex--tensivcly and Dr. j. H. Loughrulge was summoned. He found her suffering from a stab in the lower part

of the abdomen. The wound was evidently made by a very sharp, keen knife with a rather wide-blade. It had made a clean cut through six thicknesses of clothing,and penetrated the body to an unknown distance; the location of the wound making it dangerous to insert a probe, the full extend and character of the injury can only be determined by its results. If at all deep, it may be very dangerous. Had it been an inch lower, the femoral artery would have been s evqred and the victim would have bled to death.

It is a mysterious affair, and all sorts of wild rumors have Been in circulation iu regardvto it. it is not likely however that Williams meant to hurt Alias Thornton. He probably thought he would pass at her with his knife and scare her, and finding that he had actually stabbed her, his next i nipul se was to deny using the knife at “ all. All the parties to the affair, including the injured girl, consider the cutting an accident. It is not probable that Williams will be arrested. . - Since the above was written we learn that Miss Thornton was able to walk about yesterday afternoon, and later went to the home of a relative.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The Board showed wisdom and economy in the purchase of the engine, and testimonials from various places prove that these engines are the best and most trustworthy that can be secured for the price paid.
