A MAN CowHIDED BIT A WoMAN!-For some
time past very handsome muiatto girl has
been boarding at the 's Dumas House., on Mac
allister street. A rivers colored pussen,a who
has the reputation of being decidedly ladies'
70 her; but she, as she alleges, liking neither
his manners nor appearance, rejected him. This
aggravated the young man, and he circulated
some stories about the girl, highly derogatory
to her character. These stories reached her
ears this morning, and arming herself with
coWhide she walked into the parlor, where she
found her slanderer, and instantly proceeded to
take satisfaction It is said that she laid on
the cowhide frequently and well, making her
discarded lover souir,n. As soon as he could
get away, he broke and run, leaving his hat
behind. The Dumas" people say he was
served right [Cin. Times, I'd.

REMARKABLE OcouRRENcE.-The Liverpool
Mercury records the following fearful and mys-
terious occurrence, which happened on Satur-
day afternoon to a number of persons who were
engaged in telling and barking timber at Min
wear Wood, situate few miles from Hayerford
West, on the estate of Baron de Rutzen. It
appears that while so occupied, fifteen women
of the party were suddenly struck to the ground
by some unforeseen force, and that with such
violence as to be rendered quite unconscious.
Most Of them have recovered, hut four still lie
in a very precarious state, little hope of their
recovery being entertained. The strange part
of the affair is this, that there was no electric
fire or report, and all those affected were the
women of the party, while the men standing
indiscriminately near were untouched. One
Of the women says she fancied that mist en-
veloped her for an instant 1t is strange, too,
that the sufferers are affected with insanity.
Whether any noxious gas could have been so
rapidly evolved from the ground OF trees, or
whether it was current of electricity arising
out of the earth, seems a question worth the
attention of those interested in electrical
phenomena 1t is stated by some that q most
unusual smell pervaded the whole place.

MONUMENT TO PULAsKL-The state of Georgia
some time ago authorized the erection of a
monument in honor Of the heroic services of Pu-
laski, during the revolutionary war, and par
tieularly of his gallant conduct in Savannah,
at the siege of which he fell, on the 9th Of 0e-
tober, 1779. The journal of Commerce says :
g This work has just been completed in this
city by Mr. r. E. Launitz, the Russian sculptor.
1t is a square column. sixty feet in height, with
Corinthian cap, and surmounted by statue
Of liberty. Within the panels of the pedestal
are inserted appropriate designs, wrought in
basso relieve. This monument is to be erected
in a few weeks in Monterey Square, Savannah,
and in the ceromonials incident thereto, the
public authorities will participate. MIR. Laun-
itz, the artist, superintends its erection 1t
will not, we presume, be set down as an argu-
ment in favor Of the 5arbarism of Russia, that
an artist of that country has been selected by
one of the richest cities of the American Union
to superintend and direct the erection of mon
ument which is to afford lasting exhibition of
its taste and character and to do honor to one
of the bravest soldiers who fought in the Reyo-
Iutiouary war

Excessively LITERARY.-How young lady
endeavored to adapt her style Of conversation
to the character of her guests is narrated in an
Ohio paper. Tom Corwin and Tom Ewing,
being on political tour through the State,
stopped at the house of prominent politician
at night, but found no one at home but young
niece who presided at the supper table. She
had never seen great men, and supposed that
they were elephantine altogether, and all talked
in great language. '.Mr.FEwing, will you take
condiments in your tea, sir'' inquired the
young lady. '' Yes, miss, if you please re-
piled the quondam Salt Boiler. CorHin's eyes
twinkled Here was fun for him. Gratifed
at the apparent success of her first trial at talk
ing to big men, the young lady addressed Mr.
Corwin in the same manner, s'Will you take
condiments in your tea, sir Z" Pepper and
salt, but no mustard" was the prompt reply of
the facetious Tom. Of course nature must out,
and Ewing and the entertainer roared in spite
of themselves. ,CorWin essayed to mend the
matter, and was voluble in anecdote, and wit,
and compliment But the wound was immedi-
cable. The young lady, to this day, declares
that Tom Corwin lis a coarse, vulgar, disagree
able man

THE INDIAN CATANoUNT.--Mr Springer, in
his " Forest Life,'' gives the following account
Of an encounter with the ferocious catamount ::
An individual, Of the name of Smith. was on
his way TO join a crew engaged in timber-hunt-
ing IN the woods extending on the Arromucto,
and he had nearly reached the place of encamp-
ment when he fell in with one of the animals in
question. There was no chance for him, neither
had he time for reflection on the best method of
defence or escape: as he had no arms. or other
weapons Of defence, the first impulse, in this
truly fearful position, unfortunately perhaps,
was to spring into small tree hard by; but he
had scarcely ascended his length when the des-
perate creature, probably rendered still more
fierce by the promptings Of hunger, sprang upon
and seized him by the heel Smith, however,
after having his foot badly bitten, disengaged
it from the shoe, which was firmly c1utched in
the creatures teeth, and let him drop
The moment he was disengaged, Smith sprang
for q more secure position, and the animal at
the same time leaped to another large tree,
about ten feet distant, up which he ascended to
an elevation equal to that Of his victim, from
which he threw himself upon him, firmly fixing
his teeth in the calf Of his leg. Hanging sus-
pended thus until the flesh, insufficient to sus-
tain the weight, gave way, he dropped again to
the ground, carrying portion of the flesh in
his mouth. Having greedily devoured this NOR
SCI, he bounded again up the opposite tree, and
from thence upon Smith in this manner renew
ing his attacks, and tearing away the flesh in
mouthfuls from his legs During these agon-
izing operations, Smith eontrived to cut limb
from q tree, to which he managed to bind his
jackknife, with which he could now assail his
enemy at every leap: he succeeded thus in
wounding him 80 badly that, at length, his
attacks were discontinued, and he finally dis
appeared in the dense forests.
During the encounter Smith had exerted his
voice to the utmost to alarm the crew, who he
hoped might be within hail; he was heard, and
in short time several of the crew reached the
place; but not in time to save him from the
fearful encounter. His garments were not only
rent from him, but the flesh literally torn from
his legs, exposing even the bones and sinews.
1t was with the greatest difficulty he made the
descent of the tree; exhausted through loss of
blood, and overcome by fright and exertion, he
sunk upon the ground, and Immediately tainted,
but the application of rum restored him to con-
seriousness. Preparing litter of poles and
boughs, they conveyed him to the camp, washed
and dressed his wounds as well as circumstances
would allow, and, as soon as possible, removed
him to the nearest settlement, where medical
aid was secured After protracted period of
confinement, he gradually recovered from his
wounds, though still carrying terrible scars,
and sustaining irreparable injury. Such des-
perate encounters are, however, of rare occur
renee, though collisions less sanguinary are not
infrequent.

THE TIiAITon's END.
By MRS. wELLMoSr.

a l ~
More than halfa century ago, terrible
storm passed over the city Of London, 1t
was the hour of midnight when the blast
was beating most piteously, that an aged
clergyman was aroused by piercing cry
for help. He rose, threw aside his curtain,
and beheld the form Of rude man, who
appeared as a common street-swecper,-
The rain poured in torrents, but the inn
pioring accents of the call induced the
Trea cher to take the arm of his guide; and
treadihg his way through streets, aud rude
theroughfares, he arrived at a rude dwell
ling wlierin lay dying man.
q A strange tale was this. That very day
a stranger, advanced in life, had fallen
speeches. at the scayenger's door and now
ahewasdying. s
- The apartment was indeed dreary one
Up. a long fight Of rickcty stairs inside a
door half hingeless, on narrow pallet Of
straw, lay this same stranger. The lamp
burnt dimly on a broken chair; few fad
ing embers were on yonder hearth; tea
pot without handle stood, upon it. Tho
rain was beating in the window, and in
,sundfy panes were stuffed coarse pieces
Of clothing. A valse stood by the bed
side--it wasthe only property which the
stranger broughtwith him. The man was
only half dressed; his coat was thrown a.
side, his neck was loosely encased withina
low shirt collar. but upon his legs were, a
pair Of huge military boots. ''s -
~ That facei There was an expression
which once looked d.upon, would haunt your
memory foreverl That forehead, bold and
manly; hair slightly changed by age; lips
compressed, but yet moving as if life was
10th to quit its hold, and large, rolling eyes
that beamed with an nuneaFthly glare. q

and was willing to submit to the penalty;

last resting place, there to lie down in
pleasant dreatns.' The silver hairs have
strayed beneath her cap-the eye has lost
some of its brilliance, but none of its benev-
olence, the skin Is not as fair as when she
was led to the altar, the hand as she leans
upon her staff has not the delicate proper
tions of other days, the step has lost Its e.
lasticity, but firm reliance in the faith of
her fathers sustains her, her children have
grown up in honor so far as she knows. and
she is willing to so whenever her summons
comes. Then do you wonder that the poor
culprit sighs out in the agony of his heart.
Don't let my mother know il; for she's al
most worn out now, and this would kill
