ACCIDENT TO MADAME SONTAG. —As Madame Sontag was
returning from her concert in Brooklyn, on Friday evening,
she reached the end of the ferry wharf before the boat was
made fast. Misjudging the distance of the boat, she at-
tempted to step on board, but missed her footing, and fell
into the water. A gentleman jumped in after her, and kept
her from being crushed between the boat and the bridge.
In falling her body was scratched, and one foot seriously
bruised.—New York paper.

teen. On Tuesday the mother and brother went out to work,
and left the girl at home in care of a lonely cottage, situ-
ated in the parish of Cutcombe, near Dunster, Somerset.
There are two dwellings under the same roof ; the other
being occupied by an old woman more than eighty years of
age, who, on Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, saw a
young man named Baily, in the house with the girl. He
soon after left the house, and did not again return. On
the return of the mother and brother, they made a search
for the girl, and at last found her in an old barn close by,
with her throat cut, and quite dead. The man Baily is in
custody.

A SCENE AT CASSEL—Herr Hassenpflug, since 1850
the Electors of Hesse's Prime Minister, has again been
the chief actor in and the victim of a scandalous scene. On
the occasion of the annual shooting expedition in honor of
St. Hubertus, the patron of German sportsmen, Herr Has-
senpflug quarrelled with Count Yseuburg, the Elector's
son-in-hw. In the course of the evening of the same day
the Count proceeded to Herr Hassenpflug's house, to de-
mand an explanation of certain expressions which had
escaped his Excellency's. lips in the dispute. Herr Has-

senpflug was at the tfieatre,and to the theatre the Count
followed him, and inviting him to come out, he took him
into the public square, where he made a peremptory de-
mand for an explanation and apology. It appears that
Herr Hassenpflug would not explain, and that he treated
the proposal to apologize with the utmost scorn, for Count
Ysenburg, who was accompanied by a servant holding a
cane, stepped back, took the cane from the servant's hand,
and commenced belabouring his Excellency, who cried
lustily for help. His crieds attracted a crowd, but the
Count prevented the interference of the populace by saying,
" Good people, I am Count Ysenburg, and the man I am
beating is the Minister Hassenpflug.' Saying which he
continued thrashing his unfortunate Excellency until the

cane broke in his hands, and then left the Prenlier covered
with blood. The greatest excitement prevails at Cassel,
and the embarrassment of the Count beggars all description
Count Ysenburg has left Cassel for Erfuft.—Koclner

A PICTURE FROM THE SCENE OF WAR.—ltostchuk is a
large town in Bulgaria, of some 30,000 inhabitants, situated
on a promontory advancing into the Danube. From the
roofs of its houses a splendid view may be obtained over the

vast winding river, 'which is suffielently deep to carry
merchantmen of large size. An immense number of vessels
are constantly anchored along the quays. From a distance
the town has a magnificent appearance ; but, as usual, the
streets are narrow, dirty, and dismal. The lower parts of
the houses, as is the case everywhere in Turkey, are without
windows. The shops are generally tolerably well supplied
with merchandise. Travellers bound for Constantinople
hire horses at this place, and put themselves under the
guidance of a Tartar. The distance to Shumla is reckoned
generally at 22 hours. The road is picturesque, and for
some time after starting the Danube remains in sight. Be-
tween Siniouscha and Tomlak it is descried, however for the
last time from a lofty table-land. The road then enters the
valley of the Lom, bordered on both sides by precipices and
carpeted with verdure. As you proceed the ground rises and
the path lead's across hills and vallies, here and there covered
with brushwood. All this country is thinly inhabited.
Now and then Bulgarian villages may be seen in the distance ;

but on the road are only one or two solitary khans. The
neighbourhood of hidden inhabited places is indicated
by wells on the roadside, from which paths lead
up into the mountains. Women with jars upon their heads
are sometimes seen coming down for water. The first halt

• a town inhabited by about 15,000
Moslems and a few Bulgarian families. As a rule the Chris-
tians, whose occupations are almost entirely agricultural,
are disseminated in small villages throughout the country.
Their number is estimated at between 4,000,000 and
5,000,000. The Turks, infinitely less numerous, are congre-
gated in the great towns, but there are some villages here
and there entirely Turkish. As they are generally placed
in commanding positions, they are probably inhabited by
descendants of old military colonies, established to keep th(
