[Courier-Journal) Canton, Miss., Sept. 17.—A horrible murder was committed in this county Wednesday night at Pine Grove Colored Baptist Church, ten miles east of Canton. The cause of the difficulty grew out of the discussson of religious matters. It seems that on Sunday last the preacher in charge announced some religious doctrine or idea that waB displeasing to some of the members of the church, especially to Leon Cockrill, a negro school teacher, who told the preacher at the conclusion of the services that he was a fool, and thatany man who indorsed his doctrine was a fool. This remark incensed Aaron Wins, one of the deacons, and he took up the difficulty and waited on Cockrill next day, and told him he must take back his offensive words and apologize to the preacher. Cockrill refused, and Wazz knocked him down and thrashed him. Through the interference of friends a reconciliation was had, and the belligerants shook hands and parted apparently good friends. But the church folks must have an investigation of the matter, and fixed last nightand the church as the time aud place. A large crowd was present, aud when Cockrill arrived he found the sentiment against him and in favor of "VVa/.z, and the difficulty was renewed, but 110 blows were struck. Finally the exercises began, and everybody except Cockrill went iuside the church, and while the congregation was kneeling in prayer he approached an open window with a shotgun in his hand, aud pointing it at Wazz, who was kneeling near the altar, blazed away, lodging its contents in his victims head and neck, killing him iustantly. Cockrill then took to the woods, and, owing to the excitement, was soon far away from the party who, later, went in pursuit of him. There is great excitement among the negroes in the neighborhood, and if they come up with him the State will be saved the expense of trying him, for they will certainly hang him to the nearest tree. The officers of the law have gono to the scene and will try to quiet the negroes, and will do all they can to capture the murderer. J)R. W. F. BEYER, Physician and Surgeon, Punxsutawney, Pa.

"No ; the loss is a total one, unless the railroad company is liable, and I'm not sure that 1 would sue for damages in any event. Poor Scott! I don't know what he'll do without Jumbo. He cares nothing lor human companionship. Jumbo was all the world to him. The affection manifested between him and the elephant was simply wonderful. I remember, a year or two ago, when our elephants stampeded and Scott was in a position where he was in danger of being trampled on and killed, Jumbo saw the peril, and reaching out his trunk, snatched Scott up, and drew him between his forelegs, and kept him there in safety until the herd was quieted. They loved each other dearly. Scott was the elephant, and the elephant was Scott. They slept together, ate together, and drank together. Scott used to get a bottle of beer before going to bed in his berth in the car. He generally drank half himself, and gave the other half to Jumbo. Que night he drank his half and forgot to serve his friend before going to bed. Jumbo waited for what he thought a reasonable time, and then quietly reached over to the berth, lifted Scott out, and sat him tenderly on the floor. Scott remembered the beer then. Jumbo got his drink and dozed peacefully off." "What is to l>e (lone with Jumbo's remains ?" I telegraphed al first to give the skeleton to Proffcssor Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution, and the skin to my museum at Tuft's College. That will be the ultimatedisposition of them but my wife suggests that I have Jumbo mounted and continue to exhibit him in the show for the present. That is what I shall do. If I cau't have Jumbo living, I'll have Jumbo dead, and Jumbo dead is worth a small herd of ordinary elephants." "What was Jumbo's food ?" "Four hundred pounds of hay, one barrel of potatoes, and one bushel of onions daily. It cost me $30 a day to feed him. He drank water and beer. Jumbo was never unmanageable while he was in my circus. Scott, his English keeper, who had been with him since he was three years old, ruled him by kindness. He taught him nothing except to carry children on his back."

Youngstown, O., Sept. 18.—Four >, eeks ago Erastus Cole, aged 80, buried his wife, who had nearly reached the same age. Shortly after the funeral he met Miss Saflie Booth, who showered upon him words of sympathy and tenderness over his bereavement and suggested that another marriage would sooth his sorrow. "Will you marry me?" asked Erastus in a joking manner. "Certainly, I will," was the answer, and soon after the aged lover departed for home. A day or two later he was surprised upon receiving a note from Miss Booth, asking him to name the wedding day. The old gentleman claimed he had only been flirting, and friends interfered to settle the matter, but the maiden would not have it that way, and visions of a suit for-breach ot promise stared the old man in the face. Finally he accepted the situation, and the coiipie were married last Wednes-I day, four weeks from the demise of] Mrs. Coles No. 1. Chicago, Sept. 18.—Nellie Dean, the daughter of the millionaire lumber merchant, Thaddeus Dean, of this city who obtained work in a knitting factory at Rockford at sixty cents a day, abandoned her place to-day, owing to the publicity given to the affair. She was to receive $1 from her father for every cent she earned. She proudly exhibited a draft for #1, however, remarking: "You see I am such a good worker they raised my salary the first day." Iter father said: "I have net heard from Nellie yet but understand she worked one day and quit. It would have been to her credit to have remained a week, but I guess she became too much an object of interest. She was given an order for .$1, but as the original contract was 60 cents I think 1 will have to investigate it to see whether it is all right before I pay more than $(>0 for the days work. My daughter can now sympathize properly with a working girl." A Sunken Forest. JQR. J. SHEFFER, Phqsician and Surgeon, Punxsutaumey, Pa.

Kenosha, Sept. 20.—It is said by fishermen who ply their avocation off this port that a forest of considerble dimensions exists in the bottom ofLake Michigan, about five miles distant from this city. Some years ago it was the custom with the fishermen of this place to cast their nets nearer shore, but as the fish gradually became less plentiful the fishermen moved further out, until they encountered the forest of trees mentioned, and it effectually stopped them from using their nets there. Repeated experiments fixed the further boundary line of the timber something near twenty miles fiom shore, to which distance they now go to cast their nets. It is stated that trees have been known to wash ashore that have evidence of having remained under water for centuries. They were in a perfect state of preservation at first, but very soon decayed after exposure to the atmosphere. The wood, too, was of a kind entirely unknown in this country or anywhere on the lake.

I sent the boy up to learn at what hour she wished the ceremony to take place, and he asked her what her regular time of day was for burying her htisbandi. I expect to lose her trade entirely.—JV". Y. Sun. Loudon, Sept. 18.—Mr. Gladstone today issued a four-column manifesto to his constituents in Midlothian. He invites a comparison of the work of the recent Parliament with that ot the Parliament which preceded it. confidently appeals to the electors for a verdict. He refers to the treaty ot Uerlin to the good effect among the natives of the Marquis of Ripon's conciliation polcy in India,and to the settlement of the Uusso-Afghan frontier dispute the credit for which he claims for the Liberal party. He admits that the Liberal Government was in error respecting the occupation of Egypt; but saysthat it was due to the Marquis of Salisbury's intervention policy. He now favors the entire withdrawal of British troops from Egypt, and believes the people approve of the Liberal Government's refusal to stifle the Transvaal cry for freedom. England, he says, once free from the Egyptian tangle, will regaiu her former position iu Europe, and will be able to guard the young Eastern Nations. He favors a reform of both Houses of Lords and Commons, free laud and the abolition of primogeniture. He believes that the church is sufficiently strong to survive disestablishment, and states he is anxious to give Ireland the fullest justice, while at tho same time preserving the unity for the Empire. Gladstone's mautfesto is somewhat disappointing to the Liberals, while the Conservatives claim to be greatly pleased at the expressions of the ex- Premier.
