In the Common Pleas Court, in Cadiz, Ohio, Thomas Dowden, a negro, was put on trial the other day for the seduction, under promise of marriage, of a miserable white wretch, named Lydia M. Ames. Just as Sherriff McPeck adjourned Court for dinner, the girl, in presence of Judge and jury, rushed upon the prisoner with a loaded revolver, and was prevented from bringing the trial to a tragic close by the prompt interference of the Sheriff and others. The attempt upon the life of the negro seemed to be a prearranged affair. Considerable excitement prevailed during the trial, but no further demonstrations were made. The jury were out two hours, and returned a verdict of not guilty.

Curiosity

In a well now digging in this town for Mr. John Walker, wood, apparently willow has been found at different depths since the workmen haver penetrated the earth about eighteen feet. At the depth of thirty-four feet, a small horn, such as horned cattle that now-a-days walk on the surface of the earth, have on their heads, was found in a complete state of petrification - equal in hardness to flint. - Castigator.
