Wild WOMAN CAUGHT.-Ihe famous
Wlld Woman of the Navidad has been
caught. A party of hunters who were out
hunting deer, came upon the camp of this
singular creature and captured her. She
is an African negress, who fled to those
wllds when the settlements were deserted
Just after Fannin's defeat and she has been
wandering like an Ourang Outang for a
period OF about Is years, Her food during
that period consisted of acorns, nuts and
other wild fruits, with such other food as
she could occasionally steal from the neigh
boring settlements. She cannot speak any
English, but converses freely with the Afri-
cans on the nelghboring plantations. Thus
is solved the mystery that has hitherto given
a romantic interest to the story of the Wild
Woman of the Navidad.-Houston Tele-

A PRoPHET1c Cow.-A mich cow, be-
longing to Colonel Philip Ruth, of Buffalo
Township, Union county, Pa, has become
marvellously gifted with the powers of
speech, and has, according to common re-
port, lately made several confidential com,
munications, in very fair English, to some
of her particular friends. One of these is
to the effect that the world will come to an
end on the 10th day of June next. Proba.
bly, she is herself destined to the hands of
the butcher about that time. At all events
this o~racular COW has created a sensation
up in Union county, quite as great as did
the Rochester Fishes and Foxes in New
York. She is visited by numerous and
curious spectators, and her mode of utter
ing prophecies is called voccination-not
vatlAination. A scientific and clairvoyant
committee, consisting of Andrew Jackson
Davis, Horace Greedy and others, are 60
ing on for the purpose of consulting and
investigating this new oracle, -PhiIadeL-
