MACON, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY
An Exciting: Scene.
It wa* in the month of February, 1831, a
ht moonlight night and intensely cold, that
brig 1 commanded lay at her anchor, just

Two hours after, I was aroused from a sound

Truth Stranger than Fiction.
Wc yesterday learned the denouement of h
painful story, equal to the most thrilling ro
mance in interest, but with the circumstances
and actors of which we were personally well
acquainted.
some twelve years ago, two young men,
named Clyma and Pauli, lived in a small vil
lage not far from the sea coast, in the extreme
West of England. Both were-miners and
worked in the same tin mine near the village.
Both paid their addresses to the same maiden
though not with equal success. Clyma pros-
jiered so well in his suit that a day was ap
pointed for the nuptials, and, in due course,
the banns of marriage were asked in the vil
lage church on the three Sundays prescribed
by the English canon law.
Before the second Sunday cainc round the
rivals met at a wrestling match in the village,
and it chanced thaf the turn came for them to
wrestle together. Pauli was excited and en
deavored strenuously to give his successful ri
val in love a “wicked fall,” hat his eagerness
worked his defeat. He was thrown to the
ground amid the shouts of the villagers. C'n
springing to his feet he swore that he woald
be revenged, and that Clyma should uever
marry his intended bride. From that day lie
took to drinking deeply, and was fierce in his
imprecations on his rival.
The day before that fixed for the marriage.
Pauli told all his acquaintances that he would
be nt the wedding and would find means to
prevent its taking place. Knowing his deter
mined character, Clyma appeared alarmed at
the threat, and got some friends to intercede
with him, but in vain. .
Late that night, Clyma left the house of his
intended bride for his own cottage. The way
lay across a patch of barren moor, where there
were several open main shafts, which bad been
deserted, and the bottoms of whose black
depths were now covered with several fathoms
of water. About the same hoar Pauli was
seen crossing to the same patch off from anoth
er direction. A miner, who passed a little later
toward the mine where he worked—it being
his turn for niglit work—averred tlie nutda-
that he heard a noise as if of a dispute and
scuffle, but it was too dark to distinguish any
one.
The marriage was to take place at eleven
o’clock in the morning at the village church.
Long before that hour the village was the scene
of great excitement. The hat and neckerchief
of Pauli—the latter torn and bloody—had been
found near the deepest of the abandoned pit-
shafts, and of Pauli himself nothing conld be
fouud, nor had he been seen since he went toward
the moor on the preceding night. The ground
where the articles bad been found bore traces
of a scuffle having taken place, and to crown
the whole, two buttons, recognized as belong
ing to Ciyma’s coat, were discovered among
the earth and stones. To these ominous facts
Clyma could only reply that he had met Pauli
at the place mentioned during the night; that
high words were followed by a scuffle; and
that he had beaten Pauli, who retired! cursing
_ him. This account was not considered satis-
who took the oars. I rigged the tillet, j factory, and Clyma was taken into custody to
the mate sat beside the stern sheet. _ | await farther developments. Several clays
••Do you see that cake of ice, with something passed away ; an examination was made of the
ick upon it, lads ?” “Put me along side of j pit and the surrounding locality, but no trace
could be found of the body. It was argued,
however, that if a stone were attached to the
body before it was thrown info the pit, so as
to sink it, there would be no probability of its
ever being found. After several examinations
before a magistrate the accused was released
from custody, but only to be shunned a» a
murderer by the whole community. In the
meantime the intended bride became rick
through excitement; a violent fever was suc
ceeded by a wasting illness, and, after linger
ing some months, she died of a broken heart.
These accumulated ills were too much for the
nnhappy object of general suspicion, and in
less than twelve months after what should have
been his wedding day, he became the inmate
of an insane asylnm, where he still remains a
hopeless lunatic.
Among the relatives of Clyma was a sister,
married to a farmer, who, two or three years
after the unhappy occurrence related above,
removed to this country, and settled down on
a farm in Northern Illinois. About ten days
Since, this sister, whilst about taking the
cars in Chicago for her home, suddenly en-
uuuntered the supposed murdered rain! Her
excitement was intense. Drawing him ou one
side, she made herself known to Paul 1, and
was immediately recognized by him. The ex
planation given by him of his disappearance,
was that he met Clyma ou the eventful night
with the purpose of beating and disfiguring
him so that he could not be married on the
in, and I will give each of you a bottle of

to the man. “and, Cnptaiu, the other oar—

I took the second man’s place—Larkin had

Deep Ploughing.
Wc are all too apt to follow blindly in the
beaten track. The first plow was a tough,
forked stick, whereof one prong served as
a beam, while the other dng the earth as n
coulter. Of coarse, the plowing was only
scratching—necessarily so.—It would have
been preposterous to expect the plowman of
Hesiod’s or of Virgil’s time to turn up and mel
low the soil to a depth of fifteen or sixteen
inches. Down to the present age, plowing was
inevitably a shallow affair. But iron plows,
steel plows, snbsoil plows, have changed all
this. It is as easy to-day to mellow the earth
to the depth of two feet, as it was a century
ago to turn over a sward to the depth of six
inches. And our fierce, trying climate, so dif
ferent from the moist, milder one of Great
Britain, Ireland, or even of Holland and the
Atlantic coast of Germany, whence onr ances
tors migrated, absolutely requires of us deep
plowing Drouth is our perpetual danger.
Most crops are twenty to sixty per cent, short
of what they wonld have been with adequate
and seasonable moisture. That moisture exists
not only in the 6kies above, but in the earth
beneath our plants.—Though the skies may
capriciously withhold it, the earth never will,
if we provide a rich, mellow subsoil, through
which the roots can descend to the moisture.
The hotter aud dryer the weather, the better
onr plants will grow, if they have rich, warm
earth beneath them, reaching down toand inel
uding moisture. We can not and wc need not
plow so very deep each year to assure this, if
the snbsoil is so under-drained that the super
abundant moisture of the wet season does not
pack it. Under-draining as the foundation,
and deep plowing ns the superstructure, with
ample fertilizing and generous tillage, will se
cure us average crops, such as the section has
rarely ever seen. Our corn should average
from fifty to seventy bushels per acre; onr
oats still higher. Every field should be ready
to grow wheat if required. Every grass-lot
should be good for two or tbree tons of hay
per acre. Abundant fruits, including the
grape and the pear, should gladden our hill
sides, and enrich our farmers’ tables- So
should our children seek no more, in flight to
the crowded cities, or to the wide West, an
escape from the ill-paid drudgery and intellec
tual barrenucsss of theirfathers’ lives, but find
abundance and happiness in and around their
childood’s happy homes.
Childish Bravery.
A lady, residing in the upper part of thecity,
yesterday, having some work to do in the attic
of her house, took with her, her little boy, who
is between three and four years old. While
busy, she did not observe his operations, and
on turning to look for him and call him, she
found that he was gone. Thinking he was
gone down stairs, she went down and searched
for him but could not find him. She also in
quired at a neighbor’s with whose yard her own
adjoined, but be had not bten there, nor had
the neighbor seen him. Just then the mother
heard a laugh from above, aud looking up, saw
her child sitting in the gutter, upon the edge
of the slanting roof of the house, which is three
stories high, seemingly enjoying the sport
amazingly, as he called out, - O, ina! you are
so far down 1” The agony of the poor mother
at seeing her child in this precarious situation
can be better imagined than described. She
went to the scuttle upon the roof and endeavored
to induce him to return, but he was perverse,
refused, and declared that if she went after him.
be would jump. At last the idea of a sweet
cake fortunately suggested itself to her miud
She held one oat to him ; tho bait took ; the
little fellow scrambled after it until he got
within her reach, when she grasped him aud
he was safe. It seems that while his mother
was busy the child had gone up the garret
ladder to the scuttle, with his toys. One of
them slipped from his fingers and rolled down
the roof into the gutter. He went after it, and
when he reached the edge was so pleased that
he remained for some time in this dangeroui
position. As a phrenologist would say, the
lad evidently “has his balance.”—Troy Times,

A Good Story.
He heard a good story the other day. Not ex
actly local,but eminently national,as it involves
a famous politician and an cx-President, who
hate each othe rtremendously. Two or three
years ago the Railroad routes between Albany
and Buffalo were consolidated, you remember,
under the title New York Central, Thurlow
Weed,of the Albany Evening Journal,engineer
ingthe matter through the Legislature, aud for
tKio cicrvtcc to rocoivo the handsome SUIY1
of $8000 of which Erastus Corning was to furn
ish $4000 and Dean Richmond $4000.
The plan succeeded, and the money was
paid over. But as Mr. Weed didn’t think it
wonld look well to have the stock stand in his
own name, he had it made over to an old and
particular friend of his, Mr. McIntosh, who
bad made money as a railroad contractor,
was understood between the parties that Me
Intosh was to hold the stock, and then quietly
make it over to Weed. But, unluckily, Mc
Intosh died suddenly one fine day, and forgot
to leaves will. Sothe administrators, in mak
ing up the account of ihe assets, stumbled up
on the certificates for this $8000, and put them
to McIntosh’s credit, supposing, of course,they
were his.
The debts were paid and a handsome balance
was left for the widow, the attractive Mrs.
Intosh, who was married a few weeks ago to
Air. ex-President Fillmore. Tburlow’s eight
thouand dollars went along with the widow,

They go on a joyful, yet mournful errand.
The gooa name of the unhappy condemned can
be reclaimed, but none can restore his shatter
ed reason, or rescue the broken-hearted dead
from her early grave.
“Something: Else to think on.”
The phrase originated with Dr. Chalmers,
and is thus illustrated by Henry Rogers :
You remember the coachmen who said to the
gentleman on the box, “Do you see that off
leader there, sir?"
Yes; what of him ?’’
He always shies when he comes to that ‘ere,
gate. I must give him something else to think
on. No sooner said than up went the whirling
thong, and came down full of its sting on the
skittish lecder’s haunches. He bad something
else to think, on, no time for panic, or affected
iauic, and flew past the gate, like lightening.

long since have made this solemn public dedi

wretchedness of this world, and how prone
many are to evil, that the scoffer of religion
would have cried out ‘hypocrisy—he has join

“I thought it best to postpone this public act

“Please say to him, I well remember the

A Short Clergyman.
A few miles below Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
there now lives and has lived for several years ,
past, a worthy clergyman, a man however,
very short in stature. Upon a certain Sunday,
about eight years ago, this clergyman was in
vited by the pastor of a church to fill his pulpit
for the day. The invitation was accepted, and
Sunday morning saw Air. in the pulpit.
Now it happened that the pulpit was a very
high one, and accordingly nearly hid the poor
little clergyman from view. However, the
congregation out of respect, managed to keep
their countenances, and with over pious faces,
seemed religiously anxious for the text. They
were not obliged to wait long, for a nose and
two little eyes suddenly appeared over the
top of the pulpit, and a squeaking, tremulous
voice, proclaimed in nausaf tones the text:
“Be of geod cheer; it is I, be not afraid!”
A general roar of laughter followed the an
nouncement—the clergyman became confused,
and turned all sorts of colors.

THRESHING MACHINES
Those who are acquainted with the facts of the
case agree in saying that she subsisted entire
ly on apple sauce and berry sauce; not aver-
ing more than three or four spoonfuls per diem
from early in June, 1855, to the 28th of June
1856, and that from the latter date to the 20th
February, 1857, her nourishment was in liquid
form, aud consisted chiefly of lemonade, in
the composition of which a pound and a half of
sugar and sixteen lemons only were used.
During this latter period of eight months sho
took in addition to the lemonade, twenty drops
of laudanum, two teaspoonsful of berry juice,
and one teaspoonful of currant juice. This
was the whole of her diet. Since the 20th of
February, 1857, to the present time, she has
eaten nothing and drank nothing.
Ifnowyouask me what my opinion is con
cerning this woman. I reply that I am inclined
to believe that she does live without eating or
drinking. Several physicians have visited and
examined her. Oqe of them avows that her
heart and lungs arc perfectly sound, and that
her blood is in a healthy state, with a circula
tion quite perfect. This, he supposes, is the
comparatively fresh, healthy, and active con
dition of many portions of her system. On the
other hand he declares that the action of her
stomach and liver is suspended, and that for
this reason she rejects all nutriment.
