A You've WOMAN AND SIX CmLDRES LOST FOR
TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS IN THE wooDs.-On
Wednesday, the 18th inst. Miss Rebecca Ginter,
young woman living the forks Of the Phil
lisburg and Birmingham road, in Cearfield county,
Pa, accompanied by six children, of from ~ to 4
years of age, went out in the woods gather berries
The day being cloudy they soon got bewdered and
lost, and at once commenced frultless attempt to
find their way out. All that day they rambed
about, but night closed them and still they were
in the woods, and unprotected. On Thursday
morning they again commenced their wanderings.
1t was an exceedingly wet, cold gloomy day-rain-
ing from morning to night. To this Indictment
weather they exposed the whole of that day,
and throughout the night following, with but their
summer clothing for protection.
The Hollisdaysburg Register, from which we
have gathered the foregoing, says that on Wednes-
day evening search for them commenced and was
continued throughout Thursday g. Thursday night.
On Friday morning some two or three hundred
persons met and formed line TO sweep the noun
tain, last effort for their recovery. A young man
on the extreme right of the line wandered a little
from his true course and heard faint cry in the
distance and after about a quarter of a mile $
march, they found the little party huddled together
under sort ola shelter, which the young woman
had made with broken branches of bushes, &c, for
their protection In their extremity she had strip
ped her person to afford relief TO one of her
little companions-a child of years od-which
was perishing. They were all in the last
stage of exhaustion, and must nevilably have per-
ished freef had not been afforded that day.
Wtchcraf.-We learn from the New Hampshire
Telegraph that there is quite excitement in Pep
perell in relation TO a haunted house, witchcrait,
&c Strange noises have been heard and a dauph-
ter of Absalom Lawrence has actually been be-
ioitched! In the course of our life we have seen
ladies who were truly JolritchiRg, but we never
one who was bewitched. Our Salem friende
who ought TO be well versed in the mysteries of
witchcrait, must expound.-BoStOn Journal.
A few days since negro ran away from DAYTON.
Ohio, with beautiful white girl only some is or
l6 years of age. The girl was brought up in one
of the respectable families adopted child and
the negro was servant in the same family. Besides
entcing away the girl, the negro hired a horse and
carriage at Clark's livery stable which he has
doubtless disposed of somewhere on his route. The
last that was heard of the couple they were on
steamboat crossing to Canada.
INFAMous Outrage. An attempt was made on
Wednesday morning, the 2od nlt. at l o'clock to
murder Mr.. J. b. Wood, and his family at Somers-
WORTH N. IL. by exploding large keg of powder
the sill of his door, within six feet OF his bedroom
1ehere slept himself, acfe, and iatant babe and al
most under 1ohere slept his tioO iiuie boys But
strange to say-although the house was rdded
throughout, and the window glass, in ten thousand
pieces, driven into the walls, doors, and BEDS
every person in 1t escaped alive The cause of
this act Of daboical malice, is supposed TO be the
decided course Mr. Wood has taken endeavoring TO
Danish intoxicating liquors from the village
A valuable horse belonging to Mr.. VIM, Russell,
of Rocky IIl met his death, last week, in the fol-
lowing extraordinary manner:-His owner after
driving him sufficiently to make him pretty warm,
the day being oppressive, htched him up las it hap
pened) near hive of bees The swarm set upon
the poor horse in the most furious manner, and
continued their attack till at length the animal
powered with the agony he suffered sunk down
and gasped his last breath. Mr.. Russell made eve
cry effort to remove the horse, but nothing could
induce him to stir from the spot. He seemed spell
bound, and thus his tormentors had it all their
way, until at length he sank from sheer exhaustion.
