Wisconsin’s Rorgia—A Lamb that led to tho Slaughter—She Poisons her Off spring-Three Deaths in Succession— Virtuous Viceaud Vicious Yirtne. JN t O. 3S. ATHENS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY M' An<l now from tlic breezy North west, from Wisconsin, comes the story of another Borgia. Tho correspondent of the St. i'uo) Dispatch writes as fol lows from Ellsworth in relation to the latest poisoning case: Sometime ago Mi . an.I Mrs. Lanth, with their child ren, moved to Trim belief--in Pierce county, Wisconsin, about seven miles from the county scat. Byhard labor and close economy, they he*c accumu lated property, and had made for them selves a comfortable home, when, on the 18th of September, 1871, Mr. Lamb fell down in the field, where lie was at work, and died in a few moment . As told by their eldest son, Oliver, the circumstances of Mr. Lambs death were as follows : Oliver and his fath er were at work in the field, tying corn in bundles, and his mother was wash ing clothes upon the porch, outside of the house. JIis father suddenlv fell to the ground, and Oliver, frightened, ran toward the house and called to his mother that something was the matter with his father. She ran quickly to him, lifted his head, and asked him if he had a fit. os,” lie said, and then immediately added, “My Jesus is com- ing; good bye; I’m going home!” And so he died in her arms. She was seated upon the ground, holding his head in her lap, weeping and praying and kissing the still face for near two hours, while Oliver went for the neigh bors to Cline to her help. Then they carried tlm body into the house, anil in due time Mr. Lamb was followed to the. grave by many sincere mourners licside his wife and children, for he was a man respected by all neighbors. During their ten years residence in Trimhellc Mr. and Mrs. Lamb were known as devout and zealous Chris tians, and she was esjieciallv noted as one who went about doing good works. Indeed, hardly a case of sickness oc curred in all the country around hut Mrs. Lamb was sent ’ tor. Always she went cheerfully, and always she was a kind and gentle nusc, skillful in the use ot herbs and oilier commonlv used remedies for ordinary ailments. Her reputation was excellent, and among those who were readiest in her praise are some gossipy country folks who now recollect more signs and evi- • ‘""defices of guilt about her actions than they could have imagined of her prior to her arrest in the fall of 1872. Dur ing the winter of 1871-2, Mrs. Lamb remained alone in the farm house, tak ing such care of the place as she could, and taking good care of the children. For the season of 1872 the tillable land on the Lamb farm was let by Mrs. Lamb to one of the neighbors, named James \\ . Oilman, to work on shares. May 24, 1872, Don Orrin Lamb, her youngest son, died suddenly. The mother was alone in the house with him when he died, and gave out that lie died of heart disease, hut described his sufferings and spasms probably ex actly as they occurred, siuce her de scriptions to her friends correspond exactly with what is now known to have been the cause of his death. Don was about thirteen years old at the time of his death. June 21, 1872, 8a mh A. Lamb, her daughter, died suddenly, under precisely the same cirou instance as had attended I he death «*f the boy. August 3, 1872, Mrs. Irene II. Ottinan, wife of James W. Oilman, also died very suddenly. Mrs. <‘11110111 hail gone over to the Lamb poic lo assist !:er husband who was at ""i'h there, and, as was commonly her custom, called iu to see Mrs. .Lamb. Hie lelt ill; Mrs. Landi gave her some medicinal preparation which for the time relieved her, and she walked home, Mrs. Latnh accompanying her. At home, Mrs. Ottman was soon tak en ill again, and worse than before. Mrs. Lamb walked litiek to her own house for medicine, and re-turned and gave it j,o Mrs. Ottman. In a few p hours Mrs. Ottinan was dead. THREE deaths in succession. Whether these three deaths, in suc cession, of persons whom Mrs. Lamb laid nursed and ikictored, and whose deaths were alike in their sudcuncss and in symptoms which attended them caused any suspicion to attach to Mrs. Lamb, we are not reliably informed. But suspicion was soon after aroused to investigation and discovery, by an other death in the neighborhood of a |>erson under Mrs. l^amh’s care. August 15, 1872, Koval Garland, a bachelor farmer of the neighbor hood, died as suddenly as the oth ers mentioned, with the same symp toms, and under circumstances similar to those which had attended the death ot Mis. Ottman. He had a number V. } urv *>t hands at work lor him and '.‘’‘l'W’-'d Mrs. Lamb to come i, '\y*Diuesand cook [ v v them.

Mrs. Ottman jshe-wos supposed to have kill ed with the design of ultimately suc ceeding her as wife of Mr. Ottman. And Garland, the neighborhood gos sips agreed, was murdered out of sheer dislike, liecause lie had proposed mar riage to her, for he was but a half-wit ted fellow, who was held in little es teem, and had offended nearly every marriageable woman he was acquainted with by his proposals. TAKING I.ESSOXS IN POISONING. It was told that she first tried her poison on her horse and having thus killed that, learned how to kill human beings with the same kind of poison. Kunuir and gossip also .swelled the number of her victims by accusing her of causing many other deaths. A man named Fuller, who died iu Trimbelle during 1871, was said to have been poisoned by her. liecause she had visi ted and nursed him through his last illness. She was the second wife of Mr. Lamb, and his wife who had died io Vermont about eighteen years be fore, was nursed by the second Mrs. Lamb. Then therc wasnyoung woman to whom Mr. Lamb, after iiis first wife’s death, ]>aid particular attention, who died out of the way of the second Mrs. Land . But all this was and is no more than the gossip of an excited neighbor hood, puzzled by the contradictions be tween Mrs. Lamb’s ordinary behaviour and her most extraordinary crimes, and seeking to account for them in the ways that readiest suggested themselves. What the theory of the prosecution is, we are not informed, hut it is not evi dent that the defense can only rely up on a plea of insanity. And yet the woman is ordinarily clear-headed enough, and has for all the years the Trimbelle people have known her, at tended to iier house and family, such business as she had to do, and all social and church matters, with as much of sane method and regular mental activ ity as any other-woman they know. But they did notice she was an enthusiast in religion, a believer in fortune tellers and ghosts, and they remember of her complaining that at times hcr head felt as it it were big as a half bushel and filled with some fluid, which, when she stooped forward or knelt, at her prayers, w ould flow to the front of her head, blinding her and tipping her for ward fiat to the ground. One of her neighbors heard her tell once of being attacked that way when she was out in the corn field, and that where she lay insensible for hours. Besides the witnesses as to the circumstances of the death of hcr victims, a number of med ical exjierts are to he called. Dr. Hoyt, of Hudson, who couductcd a chemical analysis in each case, will, with others, prove the presence of poi son in each body. But the chief in terest—the poisoning being an incon testable fact—in the medical testimony will lie felt in its bearing upon the question of her insanity. Upon this point, Drs. Hoyt and Johnson, of Hudson, Dr. IL M. Wiginson, of Mad ison, and others, will give evidence. Drs. Wiggiuson and Johnson visited Mrs. Lamb in jail on the 11th inst., and remained nearly the whole day with her. Dr. Young, of Prescott, visited her on the 22d inst., and Dr. Hoyt and others have visited her at other times. What conclusion or the ory these gentlemen have adopted, we are not informed, but, unless the pro secution shows clearer motives for poisoning than neighborhood gossip tells of, insanity must lie the ex planation of the woman’s strange crimes. A Disgraceful Scene.—A most disgusting exhibition came off yester day morning, between the hours of one and two o’clock, in the vicinity of Morgan’s, just outside of the city limits, Two beer-jerkers—fair, but frail—cm ployed at the Varieties—one of the wickedest of places in the city—got into a dispute, which they decided to settleaccording to the rules of the prize ring. After the performance their male friends, who delighted in terming themselves “ buffers,” procured car riages and repaired with the belligerent women to a grassy plot in the rear of Morgan’s, where all arrangements were made for the fight, an ex-detective act ing as referree and a couple of young- bloods as seconds. At the call, the women came forward in an Eve-like state, having divested themselves of every stitch of clothing, much to the surprise of even their seconds and backers, who were not prepared for such an expose, but they Bid not seem to mind it much, and the fight opened the heavy weight getting in a good blow on tho star-board peeper, when they closed, light weight falling heav ly, and endeavoring to take a piece of meat off her antagonist’s check, draw ing considerable blood. The claim of foul was not allowed by the referree, and the fight was allowed to proceed, when lightweight being unable to coinc to time, threw up the sponge and the fight ended, the paity getting to town just alxiut daylight.

A man lay down in a vacant lot to sleep off a drunk, and woke up surprised to find a two-story house built over him. A gentleman being asked if his neighbor’s dog was a hunter, said it was half setter, “that he hunted until he found a bone, and then set down to cat.” A young married man in Arkansas shot himself, last week, because lie was tired of whipping his wife, and lie wouldn’t behave herself without the whipping.

Each ot those orders of monks occupy their own monasteries adjacent to the church—those of the Greek persuasion being under the pro tectorate of liussia; those of the Latin under that of France. From the broad Hat roof of the forces well generated, I attempted by a strategical movement to get out of the clutches of the enemy. I marched and countermarched until, in my opin ion, I had found another impregnable position. Immediately thereupon I i *i • threw up breastworks, with chcvaxtx- monastcry ofthe Latins there » a defrUc* in frontof them. Afterhold- " d l'“Z?*' c i . sur , roM .

A Canadian editor announced that he had a keen rapier to prick all fools and knaves.” His contemporary over the way said he hoped his friends would take it from him, tor he might commit suicide. The Augusta, Ky., Chronicle gives the following : “Delinquent subscribers should not permit their daughters to wear this paper for a bustle. There being so much due on it there is danger of their taking cold.” “Why are the doctors called phys icians, mama?” said an inquisitive little girl to her mother,who was seldom at a loss for an answer. “It comes from free-seek’ as the doctor rides about all day seeking dees.” What can he more harrowing to your soul than the thought of wasted opportunity?” asked a teacher of a bright hoy. A peg in my hoot har rows my soul more’n anything else,” replied the bright boy. A woman at East Jaffrev, N. H., has had an accurate picture of a juniper tree printed on her leg by flash of lightning. And the editor who chronicled the event has had time explaining to his wife where he got the item. American youths are sorely afflicted with the base ball fever, add in con sequence about half of them gaze at the beauties of nature with one eye, while the rest waddle about on crutches or are waiting for some new fingers to grow. A Wester jury recently brought in a verdict of “justifiable breach of prom ise.” Shortly afterward an infuriated female was traveling aroud townn with a scowl on her face and a seven-shooter in her hand. The jurors laid very low that day. It was Daniel who said “Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” He clearly referred to reporters in this remark, and this sug- eests the idea that Daniel was in that line himself; it is certain at all events that he was allowed to pass in tree to see the lions. A spread eagle orator of New York State wanted the wings of the bird to fly to every town and county, to ever village and hamlet in the broad land ; hut he wilted when a naughty l*oy in tho crowd sang out. “You’d be shot for a goose before you-had flew a mile.” Newspaper mistakes are scarcely unavoidable. Every issue of many journals involves the placing of 150,- 000 types. Out of that number some will be wrongly plaoed, in spite of the best of care. A Pittsburgh paper made a rather ridiculous blunder lately, and yet there was only one letter out of place. The editor said, “The Lcgis- the bill over I the Governor’s bead. On the south arc the gardens of Urtas, lying in the lap of hills all hare and scarred, and not very far off are the pools of Solomon—three vast reser voirs, built one above another, on the sloping sides of a narrow valley, and tapped, at the lowest point, by the aqueduct that supplies Jerusalem with water. Descending from the roof of the monastery, and enteriug the Church of the Nativity, its noble Basilica, with its double kias of Moorish columns, is, perhaps, the most striking architec tural feature. Under the ligh altar is the Grotto of the Nativily, reached.by two short flights of steps, one oh ^eacn side of the altar. The so-called Grotto is a small subterranean chapel, con- ftructcd iu the natural cavern of lime stone rock, once used as a stable, ac cording to the frequent custom of the country. The chapel, thirty-five feet in length and twelve in breadth, is hung, in part, with cloth, painted in colors and emblazoned with Latin emblems, and partly with richly cm- brordered fcqiesteries. Thirty-two silver lamps, suspended by chains of the same metal, light up the interior. At one end ot the sacred Grotto is a semi-circular recess of about six feet in diameter, faced and paved with rare marbles of various colors. In the cen tre of the pavement of this recess is a silver star, which marks, or is sup posed to mark, the identical spot on which the Saviour was boro. On the opiHisite side of the chapel is another holy place, lighted, like the shriue of the nativity, with sixteeu lamps, and the smoke from goiden censers tills the air with its armatic fragrance. This description, gathered from many sour ces, wjll serve to elucidate the causes of the quarrel between the Latin and Greek Monks, which has stained the pavement with human blood, and wrought dishonor upon the Christian uaiuc. As at the Church of the Holy Sepul chre, at Jeruslem, the joint occiq>ancy of the Church aud Grotto of the Na tivity at Bethlehem, has led to frcq.:ent and hitter controversies, each of the two distinct orders of monks being jeal ous of its privileges even iu the most trivial matters. These guardians of the sacred edifice have illustrated on many occasions their Christian zeal by- the most unchristian practices. At one time, years ago, the disappearance of the silver star from the recess iu the Grotto, gave rise to a hitter fend in which the Latins, by French interven tion, ultimately triumphed over the Greeks. More recently, the attem pt of the Latins to repair the painted cloth —worn and bluirad with age—with which the ceiling ofthe Grotto is cov ered, excited the anger of the Greeks and the trouble was only settled by the arrival of Turkish troops, and after protracted diplomatic negotations be tween the representatives of France and Russia resjiectively at Constantinople. The evil spirit thus engendered has, since then, been continually manifest- _ itself in pretty things. A few months ago the old casus belli broke out afresh. In spite of the protests of the Greeks, the pictured canvas that had been so long a subject of dispute, was removed by the direct orders of the Sultan, and replaced by another, freshly painted and an exact reproduction of the orig inal. Then followed further contest. The Greeks introduced au additional lamp into the Grotto, the Latins sup plemented the innovation by hanging on the walls an additional piece of silk drapery. This brought on a war of words. From words the rival monks proceeded toblows, and from blows to a disgraceful tight with firearms within the precinctsof the sanctuary. In the melee eleven of these precious members of the church militant were cither killed or severly wounded, and the murderous af fray was only brought to a close by the interposition of Turkish troops. It is a scandal to civilization, that in the land from which we derive our religious faith, and in the very birthplace ofthe Saviour, such unseemly brawls and sanguinary excesses should be permit ted to desecrate the sanctuaries that arc the constant resort of pilgrims from , every Christian laud. A singular and decidedly French story is told of a Paris surgeon, who some years ago made the acquaintance of a young girl who afterward became mother. “I cannot marry you,” said the doctor; then (although he was uot married,) “but if you can find any ouc else to make you his wife, and adopt the child as his own, I will leave him all my fortune.” But a husband could not lie found to accept these con ditions. However, amongst the girl’s friends were a school companion of hers, whose brother had just died abroad, and she proposed to take hcr brother’s name and attire, and to marry kar -friend to saverier IVofii dtegfaec. 1 This was done, and they iluly married, and lived before the world as husband and wife. The doctor died in course of time, and according to his word, left his whole fortune to the child. The soi-disant husband also died, and the secret was discovered. Hearing of this, the relations of the doctor have brought an action against the child to recover the fortune. The money, they say, was left to the child of M. and Madame A.; hut as therc was no Mon sieur A. there could be no Madame A.—ergo, the child could not be theirs. The suit is still at this point, the plain tiffs ease being alone heard as yet. The first daily newspaper ever issued in the English language appeared in Loudon, one hndred and seventy-one years ago, and was called the Courant. The first number was dated March 11,1702, audit was called the lead ing weekly journal of the time, “The pitiful Project of a Poor Printer.” It " 1,s printed on one side of a half-sheet of paper about the size of a foolscap writing paper, the other side being blank. The first number contained no editorials or advertisements, and only seven lines of local or domestic news. Of these, four lines related to the funeral of King William III, who died three days previously; while the other three lines related to the con dition of the English army in Flan ders, for war was then raging between England and France. The remainder of the contents consisted entirely of ex tracts from foreign journals, with the ex ception of half a column of prospectus. The enterprise proved so successful that at the cud of six weeks both sides of the paper were printed, and mer chants showed their appreciation of it by inserting over a column of advertise ments. The manner of this pioneer daily obvious did uot think much of editorials, or else he did not care to write them, for he says, he will “give his Extracts fairly and impartially, at the Beginning of 2ach Article he will quote the Foreign Paper from whence ’tis taken. Nor will he take upon him to give any Comments or Conjectures of his own, hut will relate only Matter of Fact, supposing other People to have .Sense enough to make Reflections for Themselves.” Texas Cattle Ranches.—-An Austin (Texas) correspondent of the St. Louis Republican writes as follows on this subject: Neuces county is probably one of the largest eattlc producing counties in the State..

Tiie Wedding Finger.—Much has been said and written about the wed ding ring, hut the more lovely part en gaged io the mystic matter, the taper residence ot this ornament, lias been neglected. Now this is rather curious, as there are facts which belong to the ring finger which render it in a peculiar manner an appropriate emblem of matrimonial union. It is the only finger where two principal nerves be long to two distinct trunks; the thumb is supplied with its principal nerves from the radial nerve, as is also the fore finger, the middle finger, and the thumb side of the ring finger, while the ulnar nerve furnishes thelittle finger and the other side of the ring finger, at the point or extremity of which a real union takes place. It seems as if it were intended by nature to he the matrimonial finger. That the side of the riug finger next the little finger is supplied by the ulnar nerve, is frequent ly proved by a common accident, that of striking the elbow against the edge of a chair, a door, or any narrow, hard substance; the ulnar nerve is then fre quently struck, and a thrilling sensation is felt in the little finger, and on the same side of the ring finger, hut not on the other side of it.—Exchange.

Another Wild Man.—A corres pondent of the Cleveland Banner (Tenn.) says: The horrible sight of a hairy man lias been seen in Fannin county, Georgia. He is wild and mon strous—he has been seen in houses carrying off women and children. He is eight feet high, and is covered all over with black curly hair. He started from a house lately with a woman in his arms, but by the approach of two men she was released. The settlement was alarmed, and pursuit given on horseback. After a hard ride the mon ster was overtaken, and a terrible fight ensued, in which a man by the name of Haircrow was killed, and a horse had his tail torn off, and the pursuers were forced to retreat and leave the field in the possession of the monster. The settlers are arming themselves with guus and watching for him. He makes his appearance just before or in tiiueot a rain.

M. Kim brough, living seven miles southwest of Hamilton, went fishing last Friday night on a neighboring branch. He sat down on a pile of rubbish, which he put his hand dowu to move, when he was bitten on tho finger by a moc casin. Dr. Bruce was sent for eigli teen hours after and found him iu i comatose condition, talking incoherent ly, and could only get him to swallow even fluids with the greatest difficulty. He died on Sunday. Dr. Bruce in forms us that he remarked peculiarities about this case which he has never witnessed before in any similar one in his practice. He.frequently blew like an adder, protruded his tongue, and struck at everything within his reach always striking anything he hit at. He would seize the bed clothing and shake it, and in every way imitate the actions of a snake. .A. i-r.

WEBB, Clerk✓ TnE Climate of South Africa is reported to be wonderfully salubrious, A correspondent says: “ As to health not a doctor cau subsist in this locality and nobody has been known to die here.” This may sound rather over drawn, hut at a village called Pine- town, about twelve miles from the port of Durbeu, not one single death oc curred for a period of ten years. This is confirmed not only by the Register- General’s report, but also by the testi mony of residents in the place.
