A terrible tragedy is reported near Aurora, Hill County, Texas. Two young men, Eli Kamsdale and Zach. Hays, returning home from a revival in the village, began quarreling about a young lady loved by both. From words they proceeded to blows, and then, drawing knives, a desperate fight ensued. They cut and stabbed each other till both fell prostrate and bleeding to the road, where they were found by a neighbor soon after.

Hays died two hours afteawards, and Ramsdale was dying at last accounts. Alexander Austin, a well known business man of San Francisco and ex-Collector of Taxes, shot and killed himself on the 11th. There is a shortage of some in his official accounts. Reliable information concerning Gen. Miles's recent tight with the Bannocks was received on the 12th.

The encounter took place on Idaho Butte Creek on the 4th. General Miles had 27 men of the Fifth Infantry and 3." friendly Crows. The Han-nocks were surprised at daybreak, and after a two-hours' tight, in which Captain Andrew S. Bennett, Fifth Infantry, was killed, and one soldier mortally wounded, the hostiles were overpowered and 34 prisoners captured. The Hannocks lost 13 killed in the tight.

Later returns from the Vermont election indicate that Barlow, the Greenback candidate for Congress in the Third District, has beaten both of his competitors, and is probably elected, although, as ft requires a majority vote to elect, another vote may be necessary.

The Maine election, held on the 9th, resulted in the re-election of Selden Connor, the Republican candidate for Governor, by a somewhat reduced majority. There is a large increase in the Greenback vote and a decrease in the Democratic vote. The Republican Congressmen appear to have been elected in the first three districts, but in the Fourth District Powers, Republican, is defeated by Ladd, the Democratic-Greentlack candidate, and in the Fifth Hale is probably defeated by Murch, Grcenbacker. Later returns from the Maine election indicate (mite conclusively that while Connor, Republican, has a decided plurality of the vote for Governor, he lacks the majority necessary to elect, and in consequence the choice of Governor and other State officials will fall upon the two Houses the Lower House designating two names from which the Upper House must choose the Governor. As the Democrats and Greeubaekers will have a majority in the Lower House, they will of course send up the names of their respective candidates, Garcelon and Smith, and it is intimated that the former iU be selected by the Senate as Governor.

Besides this, the appearance of many of the patients was not of such a nature as to raise suspicions of yellow fever. Instead of assuming that saffron yellow color which accompanies the fever, many did not change color at all, and some but slightly. It is supposed that these cases were a combination of yellow and malignant malarial fever. But when no doubt remained of the nature of the illness, physicians and nurses were sent for, and in response to the call, Drs. Mandeville and Veasy, of New Orleans, Dr.

Beatty, of Mobile', and Dr. Stone, of Natchez, with a large corps of nurses, arrived and did every thing in their power to alleviate the suffering and distress of the stricken people. Among the Grenada people who have worked in behalf of their fellow-citizens, the more conspicuous are Tom Marshall, the telegraph operator, who doubled his duties so as to extend help to nearly ever one stricken by the merciless destroyer; Redding, who took Marshall's post when the latter died, and who also died in the performance of his humane duties; Rev. Dr. W.

C. McCraeken, of All Saint's Church, who has heroically devoted all his time and energies to the relief of the poor and refusing to desist from his work, although he has never had the fever and is liable to become a victim to it at any time. Mr. Bishop says that Dr. Mccracken's carriage was always to be seen going from door to door and distributing supplies to all alike.

The Governors of Ohio and Indiana have appointed Friday, Sept. 13, as a day of prayer for relief from the yellow-fever scourge.

Systematic measures for raising contributions in aid of the yellow fever sufferers have been adopted by most of the cities and towns throughout the country, and many thousands of dollars are being collected daily and forwarded for their relief. Minister Xoycs has opened a public subscription in Paris for the yellow fever sufferers.

The greatest thing which the people suffer for is the lack of cooked food. Since the fever has broken out among the colored people it has been almost impossible to obtain a cook, and all, sick or well, have to subsist on such supplies as they can get.
