The | man, who was a miserable looking | object, was immediately seized by} several policemen and taken to the Windsor police station. No one} was hurt. The miscreant gives his name as Roderick MacLain. There v a} large crowd of spectators ng the Queen’ sarrival at Windsor. The | Queen walked acoss the plat at | the railway station to the age | which was awaiting to take her to the castle. John Brown had already | ascended to the seat behind the car- riage, when a man standing at the | entrance to the station yard pointed a pistol at the carriage and fired. To judge from the report the pistol was not heavily loaded. The Queen, | who was probably not aware of what had happened, was immediately driv- | en to the castle. but before she pass- ed the man had been seized by the Superintendent of the Borough Po- lice, who was standing near by. He was violently seized by the crowd and only rescued when three or four policeman came to the Superinten- dent’s assistence. The pistol was captured by one of the crowd. Mac Lain, who was miserably clad, was taken to High street and thence con- veyed to the police station in a cub. A Broken Levee. Memphis, Tenn., March 2.— vate letters from Riverton, Miss., 150 miles below Memphis, 175 miles | above Vicksburg, say the levee broke Monday night, and the loss to prep- erty is tearful. Some people were drowned, among the number Ben Heyne, shipping clerk for Frank & Renick. He tried to go to the as- sistance ot Mrs. Bradshaw and was ; drawn into-the current of the break and drowned. THE STOCK is all drowned and there are no pro- visions for the poor people to exist on. The break occurred about one | hundred yards ubove Duncan’s. We have sent to Terrence for a steamer to come to take the, women and children to Memphis. ‘They are | suffering greatly, having lost every- | thing they possessed, and the cloth- ing they have on tk nodies is the | only property they saved. It is im-! possible to describe the | | | tke waters have made. | Besides the break at Rrverton, } there are two more, one at Wright, } one mile below and another at Judge | Miles’ place. two miles below Rive ton. Mules, horses, cows, goats and houses pass by continually. Add to FEARFUL HAVOC AND DESTRUCTION these the falling and crushing of timber, and you then have the | taintest idea of the condition of things. In Duncan’s house there must be | no less than TWENTY-FIVE WOMEN and children and a good many more huddled together on the levee. pitiful to see them half naked, | zen and hungry. Every house im? Riverton, except Duncan’s and} Frank Re:nach’s has cither floated | off or been so damaged by the wash- | ing away ot blocks that tney will be unfit for habitation when the waters decline. ‘The levee in front of Dun- can’s house is weak and there 1s danger of its breaking. The stere | house of Max Miller. together with | his stock of goods floated off and ; was lost.

An exchange sa The Memorial adopted by the | Missouri River Improvement, con- | vention, at its last meeting, was pre- sented to Congress, | House committee to-day, | 7th. March, Senator Bradley has been alluded to quite tavorably, by many of our exchanges in the district, as a can- didate for Congress. Senator Brad- ley’s récord in the Legislature,speaks for itself, and it is generally admit- ted, that no better material is to be found among the probable candi- dates for Congressional honors. Gov. Crittenden has refused to honor ayother requisition. This | time it comes from the Governor ot his native State, Kentucky, and is for the arrest and rendition ot Ken- }drick Maxley of Sedalia, charged | with murder in 1880. Gov. Crit- tenden’s refusal was upon the ground ‘that Maxley was a resident of this | State at the time the murder is al- i leged to have been committed, and _in fact it was not committed in 1880, j but in 1865. i The rule of action of the Repub- ; lican party as prescribed by John Sherman in a speech delivered in the | Senate of the United States during | the dead-lock, is that anything is | justifiable in morals and in law, that | will beat down the Democratic par- | ty and keep the Republican party m power. Here is an open avowal by i onie of the leaders in the Republican | party, that to murder in any way the | masses of the Democratic party, or a | Democratic President, or a Demo- | cratic Congress 1s justified in morals land in law if it awere necessary to | Republican supremacy in the nation. Suppose that General Hancock had been President instead of Garfield, why according to the teachings of this Senatorial monstrosity, the assas- sin Guiteau would have been justified | in kilhng him.

It is now over ftty years since this medicine was offered as a remedy for Worms, and from that time its reputa- tion has steadily increased until at the present day itis almost universally ac- knowledged throughout nearly all” parts of the world to be the sovereign remedy. Children often took pale and sickly from no other cause than Worms and spasms are most trequentlv :the result of these hidden sappers and miners. Many a hepless child has been laid in the grave when the disease which caused its death has been entirely misunderstood, and when worms have been really the cause; | therefore parents especially mothers, who are constantly with their children, can- not be too observing of the the first sym- ptoms of worms, tor surely as they exrst can they be safely and speedily removed from the most delicate infant, by the timely use of B.
