• .rWystetfonr Affair.
A mysterious and suspicious affair has
been tho exciting topic Of Conversation
in Edgefield District, forA week or two
mim, ih anhdvanced stage of decompo
sition, was found in a dense pine
thicket near the Edgefield road, about
seven miles from; Hamburg. There
was but little, in fact, except the skele
ton, romalhing—only a dried coating of
skin being apparent. Portions of the
—the bones, do.—were scattered
tout the place.. There was nothing
discovered -about the remains-to give of only
the least clue to their identity. One
peculiarity, was noticeable—that all the
teeth in the lower jaw Were double ex
cept three .front ones, Whether the
man perished from exposure, intemper
ance, accident, or, more possible still,
foul and bloody murder, are inscrutable
mysteries whioh may never perhaps be
revealed in this world. .
A jury was sunithoned, and the case
investigated'with what lights the ap
pearance of the remains' and the spot
furnished—and these were meagre in
deed. The verdict was, of course, that
tbe deceased came to his death from
some cause to the jury unknown.
. The gentleman who furnished us
these particulars, states that last Christ
mas night, persons in the vicinity heard
cries of murder, and two pistol shots in
succession.. Efforts were made at the
time to ascertain whence or from whom
they proceeded, but without avail.
It was only by the merest accident
that these remains have been found,but
they give significance, perhaps, to this
slight circumstantial evidence that a
murder had been committed there.---

The JenkinB of the New York Herald,
gives an account of a'marriage in up-
§^tenj|,on, Avhich took place in New
rork on Thursday last:
The wedding took place" at the resi
dence of the bride’s father, Mr. Van-
lerpoel, in Madison avenue. Mr. Van-
lerpoelis a wealthy and retired mer
chant of this city, and is a brother of
Judge Vanderpoel. They ore one of
the oldest families of this city.
The bridegroom is Mr. John Vandep
poel, a lawyer of this city, and is a
member of the family, although V3ry
distantly connected. The bride is the
eldest daughter of Mr. Jacob Vander
poel. They were married ih the house
by the Rev. Dr. Lathrop, of the Second
Avenue Baptist Church. The brother
of the bridesgroom acted at groomsman,
and tfio fair sister of the bride assumed
the. responsible position of bridesmaid.
The bride was most richly dressed in
white satin and lace, and wore a pearl
necklace, said to be worth $1,800. She
is youhg, handsome, prepossessing in
gentlenian who was so fortunate as** to
obtain her band was envied his good
fortune by all present. After the cere
mony the Rev. Dr. made a most elo-
S uent prayer, in Which he Invoked the
lessing of God upon the young couple,
and hoped that he would give them
race to enter upon the serious duties of
lfe,with a proper spirit.
■ After the usual salutations from rela
tives and friends, the company retired
to the refreshment saloon, which was
beautifully decorated with, real flowers,
whioh were in such profusion that
they hung in festoons from the chande
liers. In a room off the saloon were
the various presents which had been
presented to tbe young couple. They
comprise splendid silver and china tea
sets, any quantity of silver spoons and
forks, bracelets, napkin rings, watches,
and among them all was a splendid]
Bible, on which was a plate with thei:
crest upon it. The presents wei
chiefly from tbe relatives, and were
numerous to classify.
' There were one thousand invitationi
given out, and the scene outside th
house was a very spirited one. Madisoi
avenue and the side streets for som
distance were filled with carriages, and]
it was with difficulty that the visitori
came and went. The bride and brid
groom intend making an extensive]
Southern tour, and end with making s
trip to Havana. They left for Philadol
_ohia yesterday afternoon, and will be
absent some time. Everything passed
off as “merry os a marriage bell.’’ The
day was fine, the company in the best
of spirits, and everything omened a
"happy life to those who. hod been joined
together in the bonds of matrimony,
^ *
Complimentary, Viar 1—The Colum
bus limes lays down tbe proposition
that, “whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad,’’and kindly sug
gests, in that connect!*, that, “our
demooratio cotemporaries in this State,
in the espeoial interest of Mr. Cobb,
thould be immediately oared for.”
If the Cobb editors in Georgia are all
crazy, we think DA Green is about to
have his hands /full. He could
quarter all the anti-Cobb democratic
editors, comfortably, in any cell in the
asylum, that wilt hold two single beds.
—-Saxf, Republican,
We think the Republican is right ill
its bint, that the Anti-Cobb Democrats
are tbe orazy ones—and suggest that
hereafter, the old saying be changed to
“As mad as a Maroh Democrat.”
Thi Last Survivor or thb Wyoming
Massacre.—A Harrisburg (Pa.) paper
has intelligence of the death of Mrs. P.
Weeden, the last survivor of the Wyo-
retained a vivid recollection of the mas
sacre until her death. She was a .priso
ner with her sister in the fort where ev
ery male was put to death by , the toma
hawk. The sisters left the valley with
their father and motherland .travelled
with a flag of truce through the then
dense forest, till within forty miles
the Connecticut river.

Mr. Everett graduated at Harvard
College, a prominent scholar, at theqee
of seventeen; was called to suooeed Hr.
Buekminiator in the Christian ministry
at nineteen and at twenty wrote his
learned ana able defence of Christian!-
ty; at twenty-one was appointed Pro-
' * of the Greek language and litera-
at Cambridge; was in Europe pre
paring himself for the office the follow
ing four years, and after discharging its
duties for five years, was, at the age of
thirty elected to Congress, where he
continued, eminently distinguished, for
teifjjfears; next, he was four years Gov
ernor of of Massachusetts; after that, al
the age of forty-seven, he was appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary- to England,
remaining abroad five years; was r
President of Harvard University
three years; then, on the death of Dan

finally Senator of the-Uniled States.

The’Whitworth Gun.
The English ^papers oontain quite
lengthy reports of tne recent trials of
tho Whitworth Gun, said to be superior
ways to thpt of Sir. Wm, Arm-
ong. With;a-three pounder, and nn
ation of 3&, degrees,' loaded with
eight ounces of powder, tlio first shot
touched the ground gt 9,688 ^ards -dis-
tance—more than five and a half miles
—and only 34 yards to the right.of tbe
true line. The'seoond lodged -in the
sand at 9,645 yards, and 31 yards to.the
right of the mark. With an elevation

85 degrees. Mr. Whitworth claims that
his guns also possess greater durability
than any other. From one of them up
wards of 1,500 snots have been fired,
chiefly’nt high elevations, without the
gun exhibitfng-anjr injury or sign of
wear. The material used in tbe manu
facture is homogeneous iron. Thepow-
der used is contained in a tin cartridge
case, about seven itiches long, and at
the end which meets the shot is a small
lump of grease, which being melted by
the explosion lubricates the barrel from
end to end. It is, therefore, never ne
cessary to use a sponge, the gun at the
end of a day’s firing being as clean
and bright as if it had not been used at
all.
