On account of the rain and mud a considerable quantity of corn is also ungathered; in many places it hns been impos sible to pull a loaded wagon through the fields. The planting interest is sustaining serious loss from these causes. —George Poland, a young man of about twenty years, reached Decatur last Saturday morning from Blount Springs, where lie left Sells & Broth er’s Circus, having had liis right arm terribly lacerated by one of their lions at that place the day before.

S. enforcement net us applicable to State elections, Gov. Parsons, and ex- Unlted States Marshal Turner sup ported the applicability, and Major H. C. Tompkins and Col. E. S. Shor ter opposed. Ex-Gov. Parsons, by leave, made a statement to the effect that he had no intention of charging that the same state of affairs existed at the present ns at the time the enforcement acts were passed; that his remarks were intended to apply to the past, and that he had been encouraged by the pres ent aspect of affairs and believed tile laws were more, faithfully adminis tered. The case will be resumed to morrow. —On Saturday, the 17th inst., Mr. C. D. Allensbrook, who on his way to Texas stopped in Pollard for few days, became Intoxicated and was abusing his wife (a daughter of Mr. William Fowler, of Wuton county, Florida, who had accompanied them ttius far), when her father, who had a knife in his hand at the time, seeing her mis treated, stabbed Allensbrook Just above the heart, inflicting a danger ous wound. At this time he is doing well, and witli cure will recover. Mr. Fowler escaped into Florida, where lie was arrested by a Mr. Jones, who proposed to bring him to Pollard, but not wishing to come here, while Jones was at breakfast Fowler took a Spanish furlough and we hope is at home witli his family—not that we approve of man-killing, but for a man to sit still and see hisdaughternbused in this way is not to be expected. Lady Diana Huddleston is de scribed as ‘‘Conspicuous in the morn ing drive at Brighton, in a light gray driving coat with gray velvet collar, varying her costume by a lint of gray felt and crimson wing, or a lady’s silk riding hat tied round with alight veil.” Lady Di is a rather remnkn- ble person. She is the only daughter of the late Duke of St. Albans, and lias gained prestige as a writer. When she ill'st appeared in the Lon don world several great matches were prescribed for her, and she undoubt edly set her cup at the heir to the throne of Holland, who spent a great part of one season in London. But mucli-admired ladies often overshoot the mark, and Lady Dl remained single until at 31 she met with Mr. Huddleston, a clever barrister, and very ambitious of social distinction, to whose devoted homage she at length deigned to listen, although he hud begun life in the humble ]>osition of usher in a school. There was a story current in the Inns of Court that when Mr. Huddleston (now u Judge) announced his marriuge to a party of legal friends, one, while warmly congratulating him, added an expression of surprise; "Because,” suid he, “my dear Huddleston, we always regarded you as reserved for thy Princess Beatrice.” Lady Di owes her existence remotely to the lovesof Charles II. und NellGwynne, and litis often. affected costumes re- culling the famous courtesan, her an cestress. The Duchess Dowager, her mother, who is not wealthy, is now the constant companion of Mrs. Hicks, of New York. At a matrimonial bureau lately opened in Vienna the ladies pay a fee, and are required to attend for two hours daily. Men call and arc intro duced. Women who possess accom plishments are requested to play the piano, and are examined witli regard to their sentiments and acquisitions. One visit sometimes settles a case, but more are often paid. The ladles have tiie privilege of rejecting candidates without being subjected to additional fees during the period for which they have paid. In 1770 tiie King of Portugal issued ail edict forbidding widows of above 50 to marry: “Because experience has shown that women of that age com monly marry young men of no prop erty, who dissipate their fortunes to tiie prejudice of tiie children and oth er near relations of their wives.” DRY COODS.
