Mary's Cocyty, Mp.—Several farmers tn this section have already commenced tobacco cutting, and the expectation is that there will be a general move- ment the same way throughout the county before the week closes. This cutting, of course, will be confined to particular spots in tobacco felés, or to certain lots which had early planting in quick, fresh soils. The bulk of the crop— that is, al! the later planting—it is still hoped will realize near an average yield.

Twice he has been locked up for stabbing bis mother-in. law. Justice Davis infers from these demon- ms that the prisoner must be insane. Mrs. Scboonbeer remains in the same condition.

This denemination that now observes this custom, which so common among the early Ubris- tians. house was packed full; even the les were seated,aud yet many had to € on account of their being no place to d. The services commenced x ing the Scriptures, singing and prayer. Following this {wo persons, man and wife, were admitted to membership, upon a public profession of their faith In Christ, and an acceptance of the New Testament as their all-sufticient rule of life. ‘The sermon was very plain, simple and unpre- tending, but seemed to have a magical effect Ite simplicity was its strength. y present were moved to tears, while some wept aloud. After the close of the sermon the pastor an- nounced that the ordinance of feet-washing would be attended to. He pointed to the in- stances recorded in the Sacred Writings of its observance, and to the command not to neglect it. It was a symbol of the meekneas and lowil- ness of the Christian, mereiy a monumenta! in- stitution, the observance of which has a ten dency to make them more humble and meek in the presence of God. Those desiring to parti cipate in the observance of the ordinance occu pied front seats, and were waited upon by a rother and sister, who each took a pailof water, and an apron, more after the style of an ancient girdle, serving the purpose of atowel. One by one they bathed the feet of each and dried them with the girdle. Each was saluted with a kiss, both male and female, and the ancient custem followed in every cular. Those who were there through curiosity crowded forward until those in front were placed in very close quarters. ‘The evening’s exercises closed by administering the boly communion, in which all orthodox Christians, who were such because of their love for Christ were invited to participate. At the close of the exercises the excitement greatly in- creased, and until ten o'clock the sorvices were continued. ATrxas Romance— Anda Little Child Shall Lead Them.” —Years ago, and yet not so many. for ithas been since the war, some disagree- ment arose between a couple of married folks in one of the old states, and after much pain and suffering and public exposure of family affairs in the courts, a decree of divorce was obtained and they who had stood at the altar of Hy:men to be joined in union were parted at the altar of justice, to which they had appealed. Their own way each of them turned, and long years e come and gone sine then. The husband and father traveled with hix burden to the golden shores of California, and there, no doubt, tried hard to forgive and torget. ‘he wife and mother with their babe, stroggied with the ekele her deadened life, and in tims came to Te ‘uity the husband came to Texas alo. they both were aboard the train bound from Galveston to this city.

All the ola emotions, all the smothered love of wife and child, came back in an imstant. ‘‘Mamma is here,” said the little girl; ‘come and go to her.” And she led her father up to tha natonishet mother, and a poetic predestination was accom- plished: ‘They roet and talked as of yore, and oon al! was well with them again.

Wooster and Henry Hertzog were ar- — yesterday at the Central police station in J cimcriy verge on the charge of attempting to biackwail, but were discharged in the absence of the parties upon whom the attempt was made toextort money. The case is a singular one The detendants were found digging in the cel- lar of an anoccupied house, and when alarmed by the police stated that they had authority to search there for the body of Uharles Ross. ‘The story not being believed, the men were taken into custody. Subsequent search by the police revealed a box con’ the remains o! born child. The mother formerly kept company with Hertzog, bat falling out with him she formed the acquaintance of a gentleman of bigh social standing, who is said to be the father of the child. The object of unearthing the re- mains was to procure evidence upon which the father and mother were to be blackmailed. A He Feaup Discoverep is Paitapei- PHIA.—It has been ascertained that a hoge fraud has been carried on with the connivance of the officers of the Central Fire Insurance company of Philadelphia, and a broker who has dove the scalping” for them. The com. pany bas had as assets a number of certificates of siock of railroad companies,which by erasure and re-writing have been ‘‘raised” to the extent oftwo bundred thousand dollars above their original value, and then offered for negotiation upon the market. ‘The insurance commissioner of Penp‘ylvania tracked down thecrime to its perpetrators, but it appears that the officers of the company are endeavoring to throw the onus of the joint offence upon the broker who acted as their tool.

AEREST OF SUSPECTED PARTIES. The Louisville Commercial of the 2d contains the particulars of the arrest of certain parties suspected of having tied August Ganiuer to the track near Henryevilie, Ind., recently. ‘That paper says: ‘‘Henrysville is a little coun- try town on the Jeffersonville, Madison and In- dianapolis railroad, twenty-one miles from Louisville, made notorious by its proximity to the scene of the Park family murder of three ‘The town has a namber of 3 and Gomorrah, but its cbief characteristic is the presence there and in the viciuity of a numb-r of reckless desperadoes. They lay around the town drinking and carousing, and the result is frequent severe rows and often murders. Th suspected parties from the first were Ezekici Clark, Alexancer Lewis and Robert Pruett alias Bob Thomas. They, together with a m named Jonathan Smith, were en, ing cards on Saturday = breaking up in a row between Lewis aad mith at about five o'clock. About that time Apgust Gardner, the murdered man, came into the town, en route to Lonisville, and about 6:30 o'clock Glark and he were seeu tu close conversation at Henry Bolinger’s store Subsequently Clark and Lewis were seen to en ter Gurnsey’s store, as though looking for some one, after which Ciark was seen to borrow « knife from Ale: tchell, a boy, who is his brother-in-law. Clark and Lewis were then seen going down street, and Mr. Jon ©. Stuard followed them, having noticed their suspicious ms. He saw them look in Proll’s store, as if onthe hant of some one. The pair thence went to Bollinger’s store, Lewis going inside and Clark looking through the window. The latter was then seen to hold a brief conversation with Alex. Mitchell, after which Clark aud Lewis started down the road. Gardner pur- chased some cheese at @ store about 7 p.m., and ‘Was last seen going down the road about & p. m. The latter hour was about the time Stuara saw Clark and Lewis going in the same direc tion. The manilia repe with which Gardner was tied to the rail, is thought to have been se- cured at Everet & Bro.’s tan- yard, at the lower part of the town. The piece found at the seene of the murder corresponds with rope at the yard, and ured in tying bales of hides. Jonathan Smith reports that he saw Clark and Lewis in earnest conversation with Gardner about dark, which is about aii that is known of the connection of the men, except that above related. It was also found that Clark could not give an account of himself on that night with any certainty. He claimed to have stayed at the house of Mr. Mitchell, his father-in-law, but it is claimed he got in very late if he did. Early Sunday morning he left town for home in Scott county, eight miles distant. He is reported to have told the neighbors there that the railroad would have to pay a heavy bill of damages, as a man had been run over and had his leg cut of", below Hevryvilie, Saturday night. As Clark left Henryville over an hour before the above tact was known, be could not have heard it. In addition to these facts there are several other suspicious circumstances that point to Clark and Lewis as at least having a guilty knowledge of the murder. Monday evening the citizens of Henryville raised a purse of $000 as a reward for the appre: bension and conviction of the murderers. Those who were working up the case felt satisfied that Clark and Lewis were the parties, and th: Pruett had guilty knowledge. They according- ly filed complaints against Clark, Lewis ani Pruett for carrying concealed weapons. The arrests were made that night, the parties were arraigned yesterday before ’Syuire G. C. Gurpsey. The case against Pruett was dis- missed, and the cases against the other two were continued for process until next Tuesday. As the parties were about to give bail a warrant for murder was tid against Clark and Lewis, and they were beld in custody. When the war- rant was read to Lewis he almost tainted from fright. Clark, who is cool and deliberate, man- ifested no perceptibie alarm. Judge Lovering appeared for the defense, and J. K. Mersh, es, and Matthew Clegg for the states As the state was not ready for trial, the case was continued until Thursday, Sept. 3, at 104. m.,and Lewis and Clark were sent to jail at Charlestown Pruett was held to bond for bis appearance to testify at the trial. far there has been no clue ihat connects Pruett with th Alex.

He was sent to the Jef fersonville pricon a few years ago trom Svott county for borse stealing. Lewis is a thick- dark complexioned man, and weighs about 1 pounds.

The people of Henryville say that Lewis will blow the whole affair in due time. The excitement at Henryville on Sunday and Monday was intense, but hiad somewhat quieted yesterday after the arrest of Clark and Lewis.
