A WIFE WORTH HAvING.-We notice
with peculiar pleasure, the recent mar
rage Of Miss Charlotte Mitchell, OF Geor-
gia, to VIM. Warrington, Esq. The lady
appeared on her wedding day dressed en-
tirely in silk of her own manufacture
cap, gloves, stockings and dress-equal
to the best pongee. Girls, do you hear
that? Such girl would be worth more
to a young man just starting in the world
than a thousand dollar farm, and hall
dozen pianos to boot.

TIE DEVIL KrLLEp.-The Raleigh
(N.C.) Register gives the following ac-
count of fellow being shot in Georgia
lately, in the disguise of devil:
The fellow disguised himself with club
foot. wen, to the house of an old lady,
rich widow, called himself the devil, and
frightened the family off the premises,
took the old lady's money, and eloped.
In the act Of retreating, he was met mile
ar two from the house by man with a
gnn. who had been to attend muster,
and was then returning home, who, too,
had taken a little too much Of the ''critter."
The man, upon meeting him, retreated,
leveled his gun, and demanded who comes

rot liking the scent of the sulphur, fired
and laid the Satanic Majesty a corpse at

house of the old lady, where he found
the family in the greatest distress. Upon
inquiry, he was told that the devil had
been there, and they were compelled to
tly TO the woods for protection, or be car
red off by him alive. Jesse informed
them that he had just killed the devil.
They immediately took the road, and
tracked him by the track of the club foot,
until they came up with his body, when
they disrobed him of his garment, took off
the club foot, recovered the money which
he had stolen, washed his face, and recog-
n,zeJ him as a man who had lived neigh

The Wings have carried Rankin coun-
