PERSONAI 
implement,si amt 3ttachinmi 
James McGreyv, a farmer of Zenia, Ohio, 
was just leaving his home for a hunt, when 
the hammer of his gun struck the door post 
and he was killed. 
As Mrs. James Dyer, of Jackson. Ohio, was 
bidding her son good-by, as he was starting 
off for a hunt, his dog knocked the gun from 
his hands, it went off, and Mrs. Dyer received 
the whole charge in her leg. 
While sitting on a log with his gnu cocked 
and the butt resting on the ground, George 
Case, of Peatoue, Ill , called his dog As the 
dog placed his paws upon his master’s breast 
one hind foot, press the trigger, and Case was 
killed, 
A farmer from Pocahontas County, in the 
mountains of West Virginia, appeared in 
Staunton, in the Shenandoah Valley, the other 
day searc hing for an auction block and an auc¬ 
tioneer, He was dumbfounded when told 
that there were no slave auctions in A r irginia. 
He returned to his mountain home unable to 
sell the two slaves that he desired to sell. He 
had cultivated his farm all these years In ig¬ 
norance of the emancipation proclamation, 
and even of the late “onpleasautuess.” 
I he entire iucome of the University of 
Cambridge, England, is put Cown at £ 281 ,- 
285 2d. Oxford has at least £100,000 more; 
but the two together make up but little more 
tliau half what Lord Dudley lias received in 
one good colliery year, or w bat the Dukes of 
Devonshire and Northumberland together 
annually receive on an average, while Mr. 
Vanderbilt's income would pretty nearly 
cover the receipts of Oxford. Cambridge, 
Dublin, Durham, Yal°, Harvard and Prince¬ 
ton combined.
