There is an old maid in Kalamazoo
who is determined to get a husband.
She caught a burglar in her room
the other night, turned the key on
him, and made him promise to marry
her before she would let him out.
The fellow was allowed to go to a
neighboring town to get his wedding
suit, and from there wrote back to
say that he couldn’t honorably fulfil
his promise as he had a wife in Eng-
land.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 27.—A spe-
cial to the Tribune from Monroe gives
the details of the First National
Bank robbery there early this morn-
ing. The watchman was blindfold-
ed, shackled and gagged, and the
large safe was litterally blown to
pieces. The outer door was blown
across the rooms, jamming a hole
three inches deep in the wall oppo-
site.
The burglars succeeded in prying
open the inner door by driving in
wedges, and in securing from $17,000
to $18,000. They must have been an
organized gang, as there were from
five to seven men, and some stationed
outside, who went to the office adjoin-
ing, and threatened the lodgers, at
the point of the pistol, not to raise
any alarm. The explosion was fear-
fully heavy, breaking the bank win-
dow and making a wreck of the
room. Two thousand dollars reward
has been offered by the bank for the
capture of the villains, who are being
closely pursued by officers. It is the
boldest robbery which has occurred
in this section in a long time.

New Orleans, November 27.—
The Picayune contains the following :
NEGRODOM.—A PLAN TO AFRICANIZE
LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA
AND ALABAMA— PINCIIBACK
AND HIS PLOTTERS.
In June last a meeting took place
at the Mint in this city, at which
there were present all the leading
negro politicians of the State.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of considering a plan for the
more effectual peopling of Louisiana
with colored men, and the securing
of all State offices to the negro.
New Orleans, Nov. 27—The Pica-
yune has the following: In June last,
a meeting took place at the Mint in
this city fat which there were present
all the leading negro politicians of
the State. The meeting was called
for the purpose of considering a plan
for the more efectual peopling of
Louisiana with colored men, and the
securing of all the State offices to the
negro.
Pinchback was not at the meeting,
but he gave the project his most
cordial approval and indorsement.
The resolutions adopted at that
meeting are still a profound secret;
but since that time this immigration
project has developed itself into a
more extensive scheme, and taken
deep root in the minds of leading
negroes. Not only is Louisiana to
be Africanized, but Mississippi, Ala-
bama and Florida; it being under-
stood that in all cases South Carolina
can take care of herself.
It appears that in this plan several
leading abolitionists in the North
have signified their sympathy and
promised support. This was one of
the schemes broached by Pinchback,
at the meeting last Monday, at the
Baptist church. He put it forward
as a third means whereby the colored
men might gain their "rights," but
the caucus did not thtnk proper to
take any action upon it.
TWO LADIES KILLED BY A LAMP EXPLO-
SION.
Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 28.—This
morning a coal oil or fluid lamp ex-
ploded in the bed-room of Mrs. Char-
lottee Chew, of Camdel., N. J. The
lamp was sitting on the mantel and
burst. The fluid was thrown over
the carpet and immediately ignited.
Laura Chew, aged eighteen, sprang
out of the bed and rushed to the door
to call for help, when her night
clothes took fire. She then opened
a second story window, from which
she either jumped or fell and was
injured so terribly that she died in a
few minutes. The clothes of her
mother also took fire and before as-
sistance could be rendered she was so
dreadfully burned that she expired
to-day. A. M. Chew, son of deceased
was severely burned.

Bloomington, Ill., Nov. 25—A very
strange disease among the hogs has
broken out in the county. A farmer
named William H. Victor has lost
over one hundred. From examina-
tion after dying, the lungs were found
filled with small worms about an inch
long. Fears are entertained that the
disease may prove disastrous.
Paloa, Kas., Nov. 25—Great grief
has settled over this community by
the death, from that most terrible of
all diseases—hydrophobia—of Pro-
fessor A. C. Farnham. He was bit-
ten by a favorite house dog, about
two years ago, and died from the
effects of the bite on Sunday. For
two years the deceased had been
principal of the schools of this city,
having resigned the office of Super-
intendent of Public Instruction for
that purppse. No man in the com-
munity was more highly esteemed,
and his awful death is the all-absorb-
ing topic of conversation.
Memphis,' Nov. 29.—The Appeal’s

term of court of the murder of Lewis
Hibbler, colored, were hanged in the
jail yard here at half-past 1 to-day, in
the presence of four thousand people,
three-fourths of whom were colored.
Freeman declined to say anything
on the scaffold, while Edwards. said:
«I warn you all to beware of sisters-
in-law ; mine has a better right than
I to be here ; ” and asked all to pray
for him, saying he was accused
wrongfully.
