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 mm, to-night, uud a month’s extra wages, -Lea you are paid off.” The men bent to their -*.«,bnt their strokes were uneven and feeble.

I did the same with child, when we returned to the boat. , 1: ' men, partially recovered, pulled slowly 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, 13, 858. sts .ii tilt, regular ebarze will be C> t 0 er square of 10 line UT for the fir st n • •ertion iiid Fifty Crn :* for en ’ll sub.rpqurlit 1 mi- tion, .1 11 adverti nt a verified kk to m e, will be published until fori. id ml pbarst 3 «« (( id ingly Obituart Notices not e rce 'Jinj? ten 'tinej* v ill bo publi shed gift! | ; betc.f 1 at the rste of One n«i- lar for i very ten manuscrij u 5 exec, din? ti»t dumb er musZ ACCG mpsny ifl :oc r ,j r notices, or the 7 will be ?ut short. dF“T ne TELEORxpn goes to press at 3 o’c ‘••rk Monday Evenings Adrerth will oblige by \ pi r. mg in ti eir favors as early s _Q § Btordsy, if pof.® if ie A Hint for Maminas.

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, into the arms of the man whom Tburlow hates, probably, as badly as one man can hate a- nother.

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.

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. Address at Macon. Ga.. BYRON CHURCH.
