M 1 1 mi Married Her Father's Coachman The Freak of an Ex-Governor's Daughter, Hartford (Coniu dispatches to the New York papers state that social cir cles in that city are much exercised ov er the marriage 01 Miss Nellie Hub bard, 18 years of age, youngest daughter of ex-Gov. Richard D. Hubbard, to Frederick Shepard, the family coach man. Miss Hubbard has had a delight ful home, surrounded by all the luxu ries of life, and there has nothing ap peared in her conduct to excite the least suspicion that her affection was being drawn toward the man she has chosen. When the facts were known they pro duced overwhelming astonishment; and then, naturally perhaps, it was remem bered that she had frequently driven out alone with the coachman and had taken horseback rides with him. The coachman is about 30 years of age. of good personal appearance and pleasing manners. His parents live in Hartford, ana are respectable eople. l'rior to a year and a half ago, before he entered the service of Gov. Hubbard, he was a hackman. He is reported not to have had many advantages in his school days, and it is further said that Miss Hub bard became interested in him at first through a desire to instruct him in ways of culture by reading, she being an excellent scholar, and it is probable that the intimacy was first formed through the well-intentioned and inno cent designs of the girl. The first that was known of the relations existing was on Saturday last, when the ghi suddenly disappeared from her home. Since then it has become known that Shepard went to Xew Haven on Fri day, and there waited for her to meet him. Before he left here he told his parents to break the news to the Hub bard family, and on Saturday forenoon they sent word to the house, and also sent a marriage certificate showing that the marriage took place in Westfield, Mass., on March 11. The absence of both from Hartford on that day was not observed, because members of the family were away, and the girl an nounced that she was going to visit a young lady f 1 iend in the city. Both re turned the same afternoon, and 110 sus picion was excited. The presentation of the marriage certificate at the house on Saturday gave an opportunity to con front Miss Xellie, as she was yet at home, and she frankly admitted all and seemed to be perfecttly satisfied with the course she had taken. An ef fort was made to detain her in the house, but by practicing a little decep tion she managed to elude vigilance and get away in time to take the noon express train for New Haven, where it is supposed her husband joined her. The town was full of false and wick ed rumors Monday, owing chiefly to the fact that by mistaken judgment an earnest effort was made to keep the real story out of the newspapers. There is not the slightest occasion for any re flectiOTi tipon the girl, except that she has made herself liable to criticism by giving her hand to a man who is not recognized in her circle in social life. Ahelief prevails among those who know him welLthat-Shepafd has been controlled by n sincere affection and will treat his wife loyally. The older brother of Miss Hubbard, some five or six year5 ago, married the daughter of a German operative in Colts factory. Their married life is said to have been exceptionally happy. Details of a Brutal Attack. ' ' Cor; Charleston News and Courier.! 4 Georgetown, S. C, March 24. An attempt was made to assassinate one of our peaceful citizens, Mr. S. Rembert. on Saturday night. He left his home at 8 o'clock for the market place where he had fresh meat for sale ; about a half hour afterwards he was 4iscovered ly ing in the street insensible, and was taken up and carried home. Mr. Rem bert was not beyond one hundred yards from his home when his would-be as sassin, who was hidden from view by the darkness of night, lying in wait un der the large trees, came up behind him and dealt him a tremendous blow on the rightsideof his face, extending back of bhe ear; wfaichtfarewhiin "to the ground insensible, and then robbed hi8 person of one hundred and twenty three dollars in greenbacks. Mr. Rem bert had about his person about five hundred dollars, but no doubt this high way robber supposing he had taken all h$s victim had, and fearing Ms discov ery, left in haste. This is a bold and ! outrageous attempt at assassination and robbery the first we have , to re cord irr otu"twvn for the past fourteen years. Two tobacco manufacturers in Win ston made a requisition last week for $7, 000 worth of stamps for the 1st of Mav, the day the new revenue bill goes into effect. AIT ELOQUENT DISCOURSE. Sermon of Bishop Keane, of Richmond, ' at the Dedication 0 St. Vincent's Catholic Church, Baltimore, Last Tuesday. Baltimore Sun, 26th. Bishop Keane, of Richmond, then as cended the pulpit and took the text of his sermon from the jlst chapter of St. Luke, which tells of the annunciation of the Virgin Mary. -He said no words could show the beautiful coincidence between the consecration which had just taken place and the festival of the annunciation. When Mary bowed to the message of the angel there was an swered the prayer of preceding ages, there was fulfilled the desire of ajl na tions, and there came what the prophets had sighed for forty centuries. And so the consecration of the church was the consummation of the prayers and la bors of many pastors. Around these walls many memories clustered. He first entered the church in 1849. In it he was baptized ; in it he was confirmed and received his first communion, and for years assisted in it at the sacrifice of the mass. Some who labored in the church then are now in eternity, and others are scattered all over the world. In that church he sang the first high mass"", and the same feel ings which he had to-day were shared in by thousands on earth, while many now in Heaven were looking down in gladness on the scene. The building had always been a holy plaee, although with it there were degrees of holiness, just as with the individual Christian 7 and now, when no debt is upon it and no human hand xuld touch it, it was consecrated to be the foot-stool of the Most High, the sanctuary of grace and mercy. Once there was a time when nothing needed to be consecrated, because ev erything was holy; man talked with his Creator, and the" world was a temple filled with primitive, innocence. But sin came, men's prayers were changed into cries for mercy, and the sacrifices which they offered were typical of the coming Saviour. And so the stone al tars of the patriarchs became holy spots. The place where Jacob saw God, the burning bush of Moses, the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple of Sol omon all were sacred. For 400 years that temple was the sanctuary of God, and when, after its destruction it was rebuilt, its glory surpassed that of the former, for the desire of all nations came to it, and from the humanity of the Virgin that of the Saviour was built. Then came the crowning act of Calvary, when the veil of the temple was rent in twain and a new sacrifice began. The old temple was succeeded by new sanctuaries, seen first in the hiding-places of Jerusalem and the cata combs of Rome. Then, when peace came, emperor and people vied with each other in rearing beautiful temples. Those old bassillicas were not merely erected for men to pray in them, but, like the cathedrals of the middle ages, that they might be the dwelling place of Jesus", the eucharistic God. There have been temples as grand as human genius could rear them, and as lowly as poverty could make them, and in all of these God has been worshipped. When we are blessed and favored, then it is that we would pour out all our wealth on Him, and if objection should be made to our acts we can simply re fer the grumblers of to-day to Judas, who complained of extravagance and yet betrayed his Master. There are, however, other dwelling places which God hath chosen. "Ye are the temple of God." When the Christian is in a state of grace he becomes a sanctuary, and when other temples have crumbled into dust it will be immortal. It is a terrible thing when this temple is vio lated, and he earnestly prayed that all who heard him might so live that at last they would be fit to enter into the kingdom of Heaven, At the close of thesermon Archbishop Gibbons said that although worn out with his long labor of the day, he could not refrain from congratulating the congregation of the church on its con secration and freedom from debt. The rubrics for that day ordered him to commend some prince, because at the time the rubrics! wese iwritten things, were different from what they were now. Still he did not regret that condi tions had changed, and he preferred the present time, when the people built and the clergy gave their love and la bors. He trusted that those mutual re lations might long continue, and again congratulated the people on the liquida tion of the church debt, thanked the pastor for all his efforts-leading to that end, and the Bishop of Richmond for the sermon which he had preached. Patient Saved by Transfusion of 31 ilt - A North Carolina Achievement. Correspondence Wadesboro Herald. J Mr. Patrick -I noticed in the issue of the Herald of week before last an article from the Baltimore Sun. It was from their correspondent in Dublin, and stated that for the first time in that city, and probably in the kingdom, the operation of transfusion of milk into the veins of a patient had been success fully performed thereby two of their physicians . I" witnessed the performance of a sim ilar operation in our village last Janua ry, and have been hoping that for the sake of suffering humanity a more able pen than mine would bring into notice such a triumph of surgical skill. The patient, who was one of our most es teemed citizens, was extremely low all hoies of recovery had been abandoned by friends and two physicians. Dr. E. F. Ashe, of this place, who was one of the physicians, concluded to perform the operation, and most successfully was it done. Very soon signs of re turning life were visible, and the pa tient has recovered. By One Present. Wadesboro, X. C, March 24. 187P. A Terrific Storir. . Lancaster (S. C Ledger. We learn that the rain storm on Sat urday evening last was very destructive in some sections of the county. In the neighborhood of Camp Creek church miles of fencing were blown level with the ground. On the plantation of Mr. J. II. W. Stevens, in the Waxhaws, the storm partook somewhat of a hurri cane, blowing down houses and twist ing off the tops of large trees. The track of the hurricane was from west to east and extended only about 400 yards in width. Singular to state, yet we are informed that no lives were lost. Mr. John Denton was shelling corn in his crib wThen the storm struck the house carrying off the roof and scatter ing the timbers in every direction, yet he received but slight injury. A sta ble containing two mules was leveled to. the ground, yet the mules came out unhurt. . '.. 1 Another Savings Bank gone up!

Digest Copied from Raleigh News. AsnE, J. Earle & Co. vs. Hardie, from Cumber land. Where a judgment was obtained in 1869, on a debt contracted in November, 1867, and execution was issued thereon under which a homestead and personal ! property exemption was laid off to the judgment debtor, in pursuance of sec tions 1 and 2, article 10 of the constitu tion of 1868, Held, that a writ of man damus will be ordered to issue to a de fendant sheriff compelling him to levy upon and sell so much of the personal property of the defendant as is in ex cess of $500 and if there be no such ex cess, then to levy upon and sell such real estate owned by the defendant in the j udgment at the time of the j udgment and not laid ofTTib him as required in the act of February 28th, 1867. The debt beingcontracted after said act of 1867, tne real estate exemption anoweci uy that act is not unconstitutional, but it must have been set apart as that act di rects. As against that debt, the provis ions of section 2. article 10 of the con- 'stitution of 1868 are void under the de cision of Edwards vs. Kearsey in the Supreme Court of the United States. But section 1 of said article is not void as against the debt, inasmuch as by the said act of February, 1867, after which the debt was contracted, the exemption of personal property was more than $?.'00 in value, and the creditor was ap prised of the fact that the law allowed such exemptions when the debt was contracted. On Our Most Distant Frontiers. As In our busiest and most populous cities ol the seaboard and interior, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is pre-eminently popular. Wherever civilization plants its foot on. this continent, thither the great tonic soon finds Its way. Nor is this surprising, for It is the medielne of all others best adapted to the wants of the Western emigrant, be he miner or agriculturist. It is an incomparable remedy for the diseases to which he Is most subject, and which are liable to be brought on by a change of climate, hardship, exposure, unaccustomed air and diet, and miasmatic atmosphere and water. Among these are disorders of the stomach and bowels, rheumatic ailments, and malarious fevers, for all of which Hostetter's Bitters Is a certain specific. A course of the Bitters before departing for the new field of labor, or on arriving, will have the effect of preventing the evils for which it Is snch a signal remedy. mar26 lw A Kerned) that haa been Remedied.
