They then visited the fields and measured. They were both very pleasant about it at first, but wlieu Coles found bis neighbor’s corn was the larger he was exceedingly wroth and accused his friend of cheating Then iiot words ensued, and finally the fie passed. The two men, who an hour before hid been intimate friends were uow dead y foes, Sliey propo sed that they meet in a piece of t.n brsgeoiis wood*, a mile distant, and fight it out with knives. Coles ateep'- | ort '.he challenge. Tha two men went ro their re*pcc< live home", and nccot- I ding to agreement, ptoctired driving knives. In a half un hot r they met ill the woods ready for the duo!, and then made preliminaries in the corn field. They told o'd Bob Ormington a colored laborer, to meet theca in the grounds as un eicort—a second.

The body waa exhumed, notwith standing it was in a brick vault, cov ered with a heavy slab, of stone, and in charge of a private watchman who was instructed not to report that an attempt had been made to riflo the gravt, and ho had sea rod the robber off; but if attempt should be made report it, and say the dead body of (he robber whs lying mi ths grave.— Several arrests have been made, and, the alloir will be sifted to the bottom, which w ill put a check on the preval ence of body snatching af ount Cin r itiuati.

There lives in the city of Augusta a poor, respectable woman who has a drunken husband and an only child, less than five years of age, which she had net seen since the child was bare ly throe years old, the worthless liusj band having deserted his wife, curry ing off the chilrl to parts unknown, and was lust heard of in Memphis Tennessee, where it was supposed he got into a gambling scrape and de- So' ted the child, leaving it with his washerwoman, who cared for it with out knowing what had become of its parents. Nothing more was heard from the little g.rl whose name is Minnie” until the distressed mother learned Iter child was in New Orleans but lor want of means could learu nothing more definite as to her where abouts until a few days ago the p or woman was informed that a child re semtding hers, with black glossy hair da k spaikliug eyes, •snsweiittg to the name of Minnie, was seen in Aiken, S. C-, wheresfto immediate y repaired after some difficulty in j roiuring suf ficient fuuds to defray iter expenses, with little ftope of a succi ssful mission. But to Iter amazement she found her child handsomely attired, in the pos session of Mr and Mrs. ,a lady and gent eman of fortune from New York, who have no fault y, and had adopted the little stranger in the city tf Memphis while ‘hero on a visit, with the intention of making it heir to a million or upwards. The child immediately recognized its mother, and the secognition was mutual; hence the adopted mother entered into a full explanation and gave tho whole dory which is about as follows; On visiting Memphis she retuatked to her washerwoman that she had long desired to adopt some har.dsomo child, when “Minnie” was suggested and brought to light the story as to how she got possession owing to the sudden exit of the, unl. ithful father, &c , wi Trout any knowlege as to what had become cf either father or mother suffice it to say, Mrs. ,was high iy delighted with tho appearance of the interesting deserted child ..ml took immediate possession, when tho happy pair, with thoir adopted daugh ter, put out for New Orleans and thence to their home in New York I City.

Tito poor mother is in a quan dary and at a loss to know hor duty and how to decide the destiny of hor offspring. She says the s’rnngors have treated her with marked kind ness in bestowing presents and offer ing to aid her in varions ways, provid ed she will consent to abandon her child and surrenderit to‘heir keeping on the stipulated conditions referred to, which places poor humanity in an awkward dilemma-between abject poverty on the one hand for lierst-lf and child in a uncharitable world for all time to eotre, and affluence and refinement on the other hand for her offspring, which she is to virtually dis own for its wellbeing and remain in her poverty solitary and alone.

DEATH FROM GLANDERS. A Singular Cast* in which an Ola Loilisviilian Loses iiis Lite*. In a neighborhood in Bullitt coun ty, Ky., about four miles from Shop erdsviile, glanders has recently pro vailed among tho horses in uvery vi< - lent and fatal form. Some throe years ago Mr. W’m. A. Naily, for many years a well known citizen and busi ness man of Louisville, purchased a farm near fc’heperdsville, removing to it with his family. Recently, all of his hones were attacked by glanders, ' a disease of tho mucou3 membrane, and usually very fatal in animals, and one of them died. Mr. Nully hud doctored the sick horses during their illness, and, when the death of one of them cccuied, deemed it bes', in order to prevent tho sproad of the disease, to burn the animal. While engaged at this it is suppos ed the vims from the dead horse was communicated to a sore on N-diy’s hand. Inflaminalion ofavety violent character rapidly supervened, and fol lowing this came rapid gangrene, end after a few days’ illness Mr. Naily died on Thursday last,‘23d inst. His sufferings were intense, and all tho symptoms wore exactly the same as those developed in tho doad horse (luring Us illness, There were the same nasal ejections, of a most offen sive smell; tho same choking in the throat, as in the case of the horse. Mr. Wally’s feet and legs had to he bandaged to prevent them falling off from mortification, stteh was tho vitu- Dnce of the gangrene" After Mr. Naily’scbah all tho horses on the farm, fivo in number, were shot by order of the physician, in order to prevent futther spread of the diseas* in the neighborhood, wlmre there was great excitement. The News reporter has known of i cases of glanders in men communicat ed directly from an infected horse by inhaling the breath of tho animal, and where there was no communication with the body either before or after death. Two do tth sof this character oscored only recently about two ve in ties from the city. It is always the safest plan in glanders to either kill the affected animal or separate it en tire'y from all contact with other ani mals or mn. Any communication with a glandorod hoi'3e by other hors os is sure to spread the tatai intec lion. —Louisville Evening News.

Killing Two Tramps Hilt Re ceiving Her Own Deutli Wotmti. On Friday night a plucky young | widow living noar Tazewell Court house, Va., defeated two tramp ruffians 1 after a fight which cost ail three their lives. About ten o’clock at night two men went to the house of Mrs. Becky Bildwin and asked her to givo them some silver in exchange for notes, of foring seven dollars of tho latter for five dollars of tho former. They soon left, but returned after sho had retir ed and broke open tho dorr and en tered her bedtotm. She jumped | from tho b( and ami told them to leave | her room. They demanded her pock- I etboi.k, and thicatened violence if sho did not givo it up. Sim went to her : dress, deliberately took the pocket book from it, containing twenty-one dollaie, and threw it in tho fire. One of the tramp s stooped to get t out, and stia snatched up an axo and dealt him a terrific blow, knocking him down, quickly followii g with other blows, dashing his biains out on tho hearthstone. The second tramp 'lnn drew a dirk knife, and rushed at her and stabbed tier twice in the left breast. She dealt him a fearful blow with tho axo, neaily severing his right arm noar ttie shoulder. The miscreant then lied, leaving a trail of blood behind him. His dead body was found next morning two miles from the plnctf. A young while man came lay Saturday trorning, and found Mrs. Baldwin dD"g. She told her story, and died two hours afterward. The dead bodies of the ttamps were thrown in a hog pen, so grout was tho indignation of tho people in the vicinity.

He broke from his stable just as Mr. Joseph S evens, a m reliant of South Glastonhiiiy, was passing by on horse, tack with a very fleet horse. The stallion went for him with great fury, ears back, mouth extended, and bel lowing ferociously. It didn’t take Mr Stevens long to take in tho situation, but being very nearsighted, he did not discover the nature of his puiyuer till he was close upon him, Then he put spurs to tiis steed, and cried out to the gathered crowds on each side of the street, as lie went sweeping by, “Stop that horse, fur God’s sauke can’t you help tauT But it was more than a man’s lite was wortli to inter fere.
