Jho returned a short time since, stopping nt tlio house of a friend, and was confined with a child. Tlio husbnnd mndc various nttompts to seo hor alter this ovent for tlio M iose, it Is supposed, to gain possession io child, It wns finally arranged Hint ho should visit her on a certain day, which wns yestorday.

A few day! ago a Captain Harrison, tlio S ent of tho Freeilmen’s Bureau at Seotts- lo, called to Charlottesville by business. „ns dining at ono of tho hotels In that town. A young Indy, ono of tho .heroines of tho lato war, whoso name wo omit, hav ing scrutinised the enptnin for a moment nroso from hor seat deliberately, and ap proached him with the tread of a woman who was not afraid—who knew her “hon est rights and dared maintain them, ” Said tho young lady with a stamp of her beautiful foot which subdued tho Ynnkco enptnin at once: “Is this Captain Harrison, of tho Ynnkeo army?” Tho enptnin Btammered out that it wns “Yes.” “Well, sir, you huvo a watch end chain on your person that belong to mo. You took them from mo during tho war by threats and violence; now I want them back again.” With these hold remarks she accompa nied tho samo with a dexterous movement of her hands and tho gold watch and chain, valued nt two hundred dollars, wns re moved from the bosom of tho captain and transferred to tho possession of tho right- fill owner.

Mqy(i-tf. Passion A New York paper cites tlio following remarkable casts of theft hy respectable females: A young la<ly of tho most respectable character wasrccently arrested inGoncord. New Hampshire, for theft of clothing and jewelry. She is in jail awaiting a trial.— The daughter of a banker in Chicago and the niece of a grain dealer in St. Louis have lately been accused of stealing while shopping, but the matter was hushed up, iid they were not brought to trial. Two ,. eeks a^o a woman moving in the wealth ier circles of creole society, if we may be* lieve the New Orleans newspapers, was detected in like deccadilloes. Late San Francisco journals contain a similar sto ry. The daughter of a wealthy merchant in this city is serving a second term in State Prison for larceny. On tho heels of these oflences, wa have the arrest in this city of Miss Kate Fisher, a well known actress, on the charge of stealing a gold watch. The truth of the charge is yet to be proved. Kcvcro Hull Storm In West Virginia. A severe hail storm is reported to have passed over Wheeling, West Virginia, on tho 28th, doing immense damage. For full twenty miuutes hail stones as large as eggs, and somo even larger than men’s lists, fell like rain. Water rushed down the streets with irrcsistahlc fury, carrying away boxes, barrels, and hales with tho current. Market and Main streets were Hooded to the depth of a foot, and, tho sewers being obstructed by ice, the water flowed into cellars of warehouses, doing much damage. Main street, from Monroe to Quincy, is covered with hail stones to tho depth of two feet. All the cast and south windows from the suspension bridge to tho creek were broken. The vineyards on tho islands and hills surrounding the city arc greatly injured, and fruit and shade trees arc torn up by the roots or complete ly stripped of foliage. The iron roof of tho Baltimore and Ohio jJpjjot was blown off. Many accidents arc reported, hut no lives wore lost. Terrible Trogcdy A terrible ttfngedy was onactcd in Daw son county, on Saturday, the 22d, the par ticulars of which are furnished us by a cor respondent. Jack and William Thom son were twin brothers, and lived togeth er. The former had a family, and was an intemperate fellow. The other was single, and wns a sober, industrious man and r good citizen. On the day above named. Jack wanted his garden hoc and was in formed that one of tlio negroes had carried it to the field. He immediately took down his double-baneled shotgun, and swear ing lie would kill tlio negro, mounted his mule and started to the field to carry out his threat. His brother William, know ing what kind of man ho wns, endeavored to get to tlio negro first; hut ho was out stripped hy Jack, who got there and fired iho negro before William came up, but nil * * JJ N.

Tako these and draw tho conclusion: “In Georgia nnd Virginia where tlm Southern clement 1ms not been crushed out her institutions of learning flourish, hut in Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina where radicalism 1ms succeeded in interfering with tho Universities, these Universities have been destroyed or seri ously damaged. Tho result 1ms not boon otherwise in all common Schools which they lmvo controlled. Radicalism would soon reduce our country to barbarism. Koniotlilitf? Xow. The Atlanta Constitution spenks of a lint room and cotton press on exhibition in that city which lakes tlm cotton from tho mouth of the gin, packs it evenly, and without matting tlm lint, and with a lat eral screw presses tho bale to the proper size, all with tlm same power that rgns the gin. It saves cotton and a great deal of work, compared with tho old style of mnj packing cotton. Tlio saying Ht of ono good cotton crop will pay for tlm lint room and press.

An Iowa paper of a recent date gives tho particulars of a romantic story which borders somowlmt on Urn marvelous.— _ cars ago a Pennsylvania filmier loved and married a charming young girl that lived near him. After tlm marriage time passed on', and soon tlm farmer contracted a taste for liquor, which frequently got tho best of him. His wife remonstrated with him, which on one occasion onded by tlm liusbandstahhingher with n butcher knife. Ho left precipitately, supposing lm lmd killed lmr, and hid liimsolf in the AVcst, whero in a few years ho became n prosper ous and wealthy mcrclmnt. Tho wife in tlio meantime recovered, and after living alone for (lvo years, married again. Her husband died at tlm expiration of a yenr, and she also went to tlm AVest. Then tlm li}eredlhlo part of tlm story appeared. Tim tartics met again after tlioir long separa- ,ion, nnd boennm acquainted, but neither recognized tlm other. An engagement wns entered into, resulting in mnrrlnge, nnd, upon tlm wife disrobing in tlm even- ! ng, 1m notices tlm senv mado hy his hand cars ago, nnd suddenly recognizes her ns lis wife of former years. Here is a chance for story writers. itloffiilfiKle or tlio north. The circumference of our globe is 2,j,020 miles, nnd so stupendous a circle may be best comprehended hy comparison. For example a raihvay train, traveling night nud day, nt the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, would require six weeks to go around it. Tho cubical hulk of tlm enrth is 2(10,000,000,000 of cubic miles,' and ac cording to Dr. Lnrdncr, if tlm materials which composo it were built up in tlm form of a column, having It pedestrnl of tho magnitude of England hnd Wales, tho height of tlm column Would ho nearly four nnd a half million of miles. A tunnel through tlm cnrlli from Englnnd to Now Zealand would bo about eight thousand miles long. Killfflltnr Incident—Chloroform In n Roquet.

Sho stated she wns tlm daughter of Mr. Freeman, of llio firm of Morrow & Freeman, on Monroe street, in this city, nnd gave a most remnrknblo narration of experience, substantially ns follows: On Monday afternoon about five o’clock, slm was on lmr way homo from school, when slm met a man who enquired for tlm residence of a family of whom she know.
