While the house was bur ning AitUWorth amused himself by ridiculing the distress of a little girl, •the daughter of the farmer, preven * ing the poor child, out of sheer wan •touress, from snvingsome trifling lit •.le trinkets from the flames. Seven years afterward he mot the litle rebel £lrl, then grown np to n handsome rustic maiden, and fell desperately in love with her; but she recognized him at once as the unfeeling man who had made sport of her childish suf ferings, and repulsed his unwelcome attention*. For two years he per- his attempts to gain the nf faetidna of the beautiful Missouri girl without avail, and at last, in a mo ment of despair, committed suicide within sight of the ruins of the farm house where he hadflrst met the ob ject of his passion. Female Juries. The grand and petit juries of the Albany County District Court, Wy oming, this'tefm, as at the term pre vious, is composed of equal propor tions of men and women. The Judge took occasion to compliment, in the highest terms, the intelligence, dis crimination, honesty and propriety of conduct with which the women ac quitted themselves last sessiou, say ing they had gone far to vindicate the policy, justify the experiment, rind realize the expectations of those who had clothed themselves with the right. The bar, the bench, and the intelligent men of the country had long felt that something was needed to improve and justify our jury sys tem; something to lift it above prej udice and passion, and imbue it with a higher regard for law, justice, oath end conscience. The court would as sure, them the fullest protection sgkinat eVervthing which might offend the most refined, modest an l educa ted women in any walks of life; and would punish severely any attempt to throw ridicule or contume’y upon them. A Remarkable Family —Mr. Jo* rathan Harrison, aged 81 years, has lived at one place in this country, about five miles from Greenville, fifty years; has raised seventeen chi dren to be grown, eight boys and nine girls. They have now liv ing, 1 sixteen children, fifty-rour grand children—rr.iking a family of seven ty-nine. ‘At one time during the war seven of his and ughtors were left widows. The old gentleman and his wife nev er had a" spell of sickness in their lives, until the past fall, when the old man was taken sick, from the effects of which lie has never recovered; his memory is entirely gone; he can not remember even the names of his own chi’drcn. For a long time lie has been a meralier of the Primi tive Baptist Church. lie lias always been an honest and hard-working man; he has never had to depend on tt e North and the West for provi sions for lie always made on his farm all the necessaries of life.— Troy Ala. Advertiser. Boy babies seem to be at discount in Augusta. The Constitutionalist of Tuesday says: At a very early hour on Saturday morning last, a colored woman, liv ing oq a corner of the new Orphan Asylum lot. heard a vigorous rap at her door. The cause was explained, when she made investigation, the dis eovory of a basket deposited at the door, contait ing a regular live, fat, trouncing twelve-pounder, of the male persuasion, nestled amid a supply of clothing, with a note containing $7 for efttufft expenses, etc. . The note i < requested the woman to take charge of the little waif—if one may be al % lowed to call twelve pounds of active, vigorous baby a waif—and that her kindness and oare wonld be rewarded.

There was an immense gathering pres- A Horrible Tragedy. Rumor brings us details of a bor riblo tragedy that is said to have oc curred in St.'Clair county, Alabama. The rumor runs that the Tax Col lector of St. Clair had got together a largo amount of taxes and gave them to his wife to keep; remarking as he did so that ho was compiled to'take a trip that wonld necessitate his absence from home for three or four days. He left and b!ic bid the money: About ten o’clock that night a party of men wenring disguises, broke iu upon the lonely woman and demanded the tax money. She re fused to give it up or tell w here it was. After attempting in vain to force her to tell the hiding ’place of the treasure they searched for it and found it. A ftcr possessing themselves Irtely of the money, they nrHervfl her to get them some supper. While she was busying herself wtih this forced task she conceived the idea of poisoning them, artel thus preserving it once the money and her husband’s iionor. She deftly slipped some ars uic in the coffee she was mixing. They drank heartily, and fell dcau shortly afterwards. She stripped oil their disguises and found that two of the villiana were strangers, but thi third was her husband, who had taken this means of stealing the taxes of the people. The story is almost too horrible for credulence, but our in formants were confident that the facts were as they stated them.— Home Com mercial. A Toothless People. —Terribli times in Warrenton, Va., nrc thus depicted by the editor of the Sentinel: A few weeks ago a dentist came to town and advertised that he would “remove all of a person’s teeth for $2 and insert anew set for $lO, ltcsidcs giving six months’ credit.” The War renton people are very fond of bar gains, so there was a rush for the den tist's office. He was busy for two weeks puTling tcetlt, and at the end of that time half the people had empty gums, and’a bone dust factory* in the neighborhood doubled its workmen, so ns to grind up the teeth. Mean while the people were waiting for the dentist to fit them with new sets, the abandoned scoundrel eloped*with the hotel keeper’s wife; and now there are two or three thousand people in town who cannot eat anything tougher than soup and farina. All the butchers have failed, and not a cracker has been sold for three weeks. One man, it : is said, whittled out a set of wooden teeth for himself, but the first drink of whisky he took—Warrenton whis ky—set them in a blaze, mad his fu neral came off the next day. The dentist will hear of something greatly to his disadvantage if he comes back. The Late French War —There were six hundred and thirty-four thousand three hundred and forty-five French prisoners in Germany, Switz erland and Belgium at the conclusion of pease, and twenty-threo great bat tles and fifty-one important fights were fought during the w hole war. Os sieges there were twenty-five.— Number of dead on both sides about one hundred thousand men, besides two hundred thousand wounded. The blooodicst battles were fought nt Mars la Tuor and Gravctotte. The former is, next to Eilau and Borodi no, the Moodiest of this century.— Sav. News. Says the Montgomery Mail: “The Marion Commonwealth furnishes us with the following marriage notice, which we must admit is somewhat stony—Married, at Flinstonc, by the Ilev. Mr. Wiiulstonc, Mr. Nchemiah Sandstone and Miss Wilhelraina Whet stone, both of Limestone. Look out for brimstone next. An old lady, slightly blind, while engaged in a futile attempt to sew buttons on young Augustus’ nfew jacket, remarked: “ Drat these but tons ! I can't fiud the holes and they split all to pieces every time I stick the needle into cm.” To which re plied young Augustus, “Now,look here Granny, you just let my pepper mint nlone. You've split more’n half 'em already.” An old lady in Massachusetts who remembers Washington, has rather overdone it. She usserts that ho fre quently came to her native town to attend the annual muster. Chicago, it is said, has one thousand lawyers. Out of this numlicr about Twenty-five do the legal business of the city, there is no telling how the other nine hundred and seventy-five get a living. Many a girl thinks she can do nothing without a husband and when she gets one finds she can do nothing with him. A girl in Ilunderton county, N. J., was choked dead the other day by her lover’s arm—the young man thinking that she was “only in fun” when she struggled. A story is told in Oregon about a young man who proposed in a Sun day School that a ‘committee of young ladies and gentlemen be appointed to raise children for the Sabbath School.’ A story is told, of a young man in Freeport 111., who was crossed in love and attempted suicide recently by taking a dose of yeast powders.
