HORRIBLE STABBING UasE—One Woman Kills Another.—Miss Cobb, @ young lady about 17 years of age, formerly resided in the family ot Mr. W. Aylesworth, in Fulton, and known as havi one of the most peace- able and best dispositions in the country, was fatally stabbed to the heart, with a «nife or dirk in the hands of a Mrs. Goddard, last Mon- day morning, near Thompson Station, in York township, Carroll county, and died almost in- stantly. The circumstances, as communicated tous, were, thattwomen, Yates and Zuck, who occupied different parts of the same house on the Hoiman farm, in York, got into a quar. rel on Monday morning last, when Mrs. is dard attempted to hand Yates a knife with which to stab Zuck, the brother-in-law of Miss Cole, but was prevented by the young lady, into whose heart Mrs.Goddard thrust the deadly instrument, without, as we can learn, any other shadow of provocation. Mrs Goddard was immediately arrested, and is con- fined in jailto await her trial. Mre. Goddard is said to be a young woman of not the most agreeable disposition, as this last horrible act Moet plainly indicates. Miss Cole's faneral took place on Tuesday, and was 1: ly at- tended by the people in the vicinity.

The dam of the Granite Factory, immediate! above Ellicetts’ Mills, was also destroyed. Many houses and much property in the vicini- ty of tbe Patapsco valley are reported to be seriously damaged. The Jarge forces at work upon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have already succeeded in repairing the damages upon that line to a large extent. The latest reports from Lichester state that, notwithstanding the continuance of the high water, a portion of the trestling has already been fees pens and the passage of trains wiil be effeeted with little delay. it is ascertained that the dam of the Franklin mill—an old frame one—was carried away, beside the county bridge and a small frame house bp aed to Mr. Winpenny.

Sgriove CHARGES AGainet 4 NEw York STREET COMMISSIONER.—Yesterday, the emi- nent counsel retained by the Citizens’ Associa- tion laid before Governor Fenton a volumi- nous document, containing charges and speci- fleations against Street Commissioner Charles G. Connell. The charges are of aserious char- acter, and of themselves demand immediate in- vestigation. Mr. Connell is accused ot having misapplied thousands of dollarsof the public funds, and of having spent many more theu- sands withont a shadow of authority for so doing. Supervisor Tweed is charged with holding various offices of trust at the same time. and deriving from each a handsome reve. nue. The documentexhibits a fearful reckless. ness in regard to the expenditures of the pub- lic moneys, and should it be substantiated, it must create a revolution in thé administration of our city affairs.—New Fork Times, Oct. 11.

In 1856 the plaintiff was run over by a locomo- tive at the St. Ji hh street crossing of the railroad, in the Sixth Ward. He was coming up the street, and after waiting for a train he Stepped upon the track justin the way of an engine backing in the opposite direction to that which the train had gone. He lost a leg the accident, and was compelled to change bis ayocation. A suit was commenced for damages, and taken into the circuit court. Judge Smith ordered a non-suit, and retused to let the case go to the jury,on the ground that it did not appear that the plaintiff had taken proper precaution to against acci- dent. The plaintiff went to the courtof ap. Rigle and aot decision reversed, and a new rial ordered. The result has been @ verdict as above stated.—. ster Union, With. ——— A Sow SToRM iw ColLorapo.—The Black- hawk (Colorado) Mining Journal! says the sec- oad snow storm of the season commenced on the 19th at daylight.

He was ridden by the same gen- tleman that carried him successfully through the steeple-chase the day before, Mr. Elwes. Za was the first to take the leap after the start, William second.

At the first jump Citadel came in contact with the top rail of burdie, and it fell le ‘ith the ground, nearly throwing his Tider, which was not replaced doring the race, in consequennce of which the k afforded the spectators from the grand stand but little citement, as the borses almost ran over the at wood the second time around. General Williams took the lead trem Zigzag at the ae burdies, leading the Nannie -raddock a length. while Zigzag was «ix lengths, and Oitadel a bad fourth, notwith- standing he made his after-leaps better than ‘was expected from his jead off. He was, how- ever, the fourth horse im the race throughout, so we will drop him at once, ashis chances were dollars to nothing about his winning. General Williams continued his lead, clearing the third and fourth burdies shgbtly abead of Nannie Craddock, Zigzag third, four jength= behind. Coming past the stand for the first mile Williams was leading, Zigzag taking the second piace from Nannie Craddock. At the — burdie baggage = ge Nanaie went over at same time.

The session is expected to be ome of great interest. Several questions of much importance in regard to certain changes in the policy of the Church will come up for the consideration and action of the conference. The general conference, in whieh resides the de jative power of the Church, at its session in w Orleans last April, introduced changes in the temporal economy of the Church. Some of these changes will come up before the ey- eral annnal conferences tor their concurrence or rejection, and before they can become law they must receive the concurrence of three. fourths of ali the members of the several Annual conferences who shall be present and vote. One of tbe changes in the lity of the Church made by the general clatctns, and recommended by them to the several annual conferences, is the introductions of iny delegates into the councils of the Church, both in the general and annual conferences. Should this change be adopted, the future general con- ference will be composed of an equal nomber of ministers and laymen. and there will be in the annual conference four lay delegates from each presiding elder’s district. Tue general conference also recommend that the present name of the Okurch—Methodist Epi Church South—be changed to Epis- copa! Methodist Church. The word “South” Was affixed to the name of this Churen in 1F45, to distinguish it trom the Methodist pal Church in the North, ffom which the therm: Church withdrew in ISH, by reason of the dis- similarity of views existing upon tical questions. This chance in particu’ will come before the Virginia annual conference at its proaching session for its concurrence, aad is expected to elicit warm discussion. bop Pierce will preside over the con- ference. Fraxce’s Payments.—After the baitie of Waterloo, France was compelled to pay large sums of money as indemnity for war ex, to the nations Which bad conquered N: i.

Of received the lion's share of ‘$42.000.000, whilst Eagland received #95. 00, Austria $22,500,000, and Russia ®20,000,000. The yment of this money was by the ich people at the time as a great national indignity. and they chafe under it even now Prussia exacts from Austria many millions of dollars as mdemnity for the expenses of the Tecent war.
