be a sham duel. Stewart, one of the
parties, was supposed to bo in the sc.
cret, but Bennett, his adversary, be.
lieved it to be reality. II is supposed
that Bennett somewhat suspected a
trick, and after receiving his gun from
his second, rolled a ball into il. At
The word fire Stewart fell morlally
wounded. Bennett was indicted, tried
and convicted for murder. 4 great
effort was made to procure him a
pardon; bat Governor Bond would
yield to no entreaties, and Bennett
suffered the extreme penalty of the
law, by hanging, in the presence of a
great multitude of people,
This was the first and last duel which
has ever been fought in the State by

WILD WOMAN CAUGHT.

We learn from the Houston (Texas)
Telegraph that the famous wild woman
Of Navidad had been caught. A party
Of hunters, who were out hunting deer,
accidentally came upon the camp Of
this singular creature, and captured her.
She is an African negress, who fed to
these wilds when the settlements were
deserted, just after Fanin's defeat, and
she has been wandering about for
period Of abou, fifteen years. Her
food during that period has consisted
OF acorns, nuts, and other wild fruits.
with such other food as she could oc-
cNsionaly steal from the ncighboring
settlements. She cannot speak 5nv
English, bat converscs freely with the
Africans on the neighboring planla-
tons. Thus is solved the mystery tha,
has hitherto given aromanlc intcrcs,
10 the story ofthe wild woman Of the
Navidad.

THE TIMES
PLAND ROADS.

The following from Hunts Maga
zine, is just estimate of the value Of
Plank roads:
In the list of great improvements
which have given to this age the char.
acter which it will bear in the history
above all others-the age of happiness
to the people-the Plank road will bear
prominent place, and it deserves it.
II changes the condition of the farmer
wherever il is.found. 1t gives thorouh-
fare, second only 10 the railway; and
in this respect, superior TO it, that it
may be used by all, without being sub
jected TO the rules and regulations of
others, as TO the time, speed or equip.
age in which they may choose to travel.
Ii annihilates one of the sorest evils
known TO our rural life--an evil which
has hiIhorto made a far m in some-in
many parts of our country, an invol-
un,ary hermitage, secluded, and attain
able only by weary pilgrimage over
no, not over-but through roads
which seemed 10 have concentrated all
the evils that could embarrass the trav.
eller.
A bad road is no longer known where
there is plank road. The farmer is
brough, in the vicinity of the village
and the city, enjoying its benefits, and
exempt from its Inconvenience. The
plank road finds its way to the forests,
first building itself from them, and then
placing the wood treasure into active
nse.
Ii allures the settler TO redeem lands
hitherto set down as desperate real es,
tate; unreal as 10 income, and real only
as to taxation. 1t goes up to the wild
lands and ciyiIizes them. 1t threads
The environs of city with pleasant
drives. 1t magnifies the means used
by the farmer in taking his product to
market. Ii is the road of,he people
open to all, and like the nation in whose
energies it has grown into such favor
i, is every year increasing its rage and
extending its benefits.
Railways, with all their value, anc
they are of priceless worth to many
are yet the throughfares for citizens
away from home-for the journey, tht
travel, the tour: but the plank road il
for home use--for the transit which il
begun and ended in day, or it's frac
tions-which is TO him who uses il {
double value or occupation for tn,
hours of the day--which increases th'
happiness and comfort and profit ofth,
farm, that foundation Of all the insti
tutions of society.

THE SPIRITUAL KNoCKERs Knock.
ED.--A Dr. Bel, of Buffalo, n. Y, has
published a letter respecting the Ro.

Mrs. Fish and her sister undertook TO
convince DR.. Bell of the spiritual char.
acter of the knoCkings; and for this
purpose, agreed TO perform before him
and few friends. The result of the
experiment was to convince the spec.
tators that the ladies' themselves produc-
ed the mysterious sounds, by swapping
certain bones of the knee together
which they have the faculty Of doing as
some people have ofcracking the finger
joints. DR.. Bell, suspcciing this 10 be

hands on the knees of Mrs. Fish, and

confirmed this view of the case. By in
