A MURDERops AFFRAY.-An offray occurred
in tho south western part of Putnam county
Ind, on Wednesday week, which resulted in
the death of a man named Rice; another, ma.
med Furnoy, having his skull fractured, who
is not expected to recover, and third person
named Danbury, being shot in tho si6e. II
appears that Hiram Furncy, who is road su.
pervisor, went TO Rice's house to warn him to
work on tho road. Rice made an attack upon
him, and beat him over tho head with club.
The brother of Furney was informed of the
affair, and proceeded to Ricos house accompa-
ncd by friend, named Danbury They found
IL. armed with gun, and leading out his
horse to make his escape. Furnoy npd Dan
bury levcled their guns to fire, as did also Rice.
They fired at tho samo time. Rice fell dead

rvs sidc, but he will recover. The brother OF
Furney was arrested for the murder of Rice,

what it Costs to make Ladies.

The following extract from the Parlor
Annual deserves careful Perusal from
husbands and fathers, as well as wives
and daughters. 1t furnishes the key to
much of the misery we find in the world:
sin childhood and youth girls are heal
thy, hardy, and capable Of enduring Ia
tiaue as boys, for the very good reason
that nature, regarding it equally necessa-
ry 10 give them constitutions, has kindly
done so; and because they romp IN the
open air, and thus obey the promptlngS OF
unsophislicated nature. Yet our men are
much more healthy than women, or even
young ladies'. Take the families OF me'-
chants and business men--not the purse
proud nabob on the one hand, nor the
hardy deliver on the other--and how
stands the matter The men are active,
Industrious, accustomed TO 4 great degree
of bodily exer,ion they are busy with
bales and boxes among the draymen and
porters; they are driving abouithe wha!yes
and streets all day, their minds and bodies
full employed, and 60 home with keen
and weI-earned appetite while their wives
and daughters standing, OF course, on the
same platform of responsibility as them
selves, have dragged the weariSome hours
OF The day in IisIIess idlCness or sedentary
pursuits, and approach the table with an
appetite that almost spurns the rePas;
other hands have prepared, and tilI shelr
anxious husbands or fathers ears with
complaints of thousand ills, which per-
haps nothing but a summer at the Springs
or watering places can assuage. Poor
creatures, they have 70! been properly
educated. Fashion would Pout It's con
lempmous lips, and toss lts bran!ess
head At the idea of useful toll for Ih'
wives and daughters of wealthy me'
chant But the same tickle goddess has
no o5iection-lo the father or son going IN
to the store and laboring all day, rollins
barrels, packing and unPacEing goods
which for them is all very well; but sh'
denies to the daughter any part IN house
hold affairs, because it is vulgar and dis
reputable; and consigns her to the prac
tice Of music, drawing, worsted, and Iac'
work. What matter 1t if the sons hands
be hard, his chest and muscles brawny
his face bronzed bysthe sun and wind,and
with these, firm health ! but the daughter
must be slim, fragile, pale, and delicate
with soft, white hands, to be worthy tc
rank with the sons of merchants, who are
every day employed, just like her brother
with like results"

HEPHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, VA SATURDAY MORNING. JUN
a verv short time afterwards. Miss b

a very short time afterwards, Miss B
found herself sitting beside the young Phil
adelphian, ,inlhe above mentioned carriage,
and going towards Msysville at.the rate OF
about ten miles an hour.
1t was soon noised through the town
that Miss B. had run away with her
Philadelphia lover. Her guardian, who
was opposed TO the match, at once mount
ed q feet horse, and started in pursuit
About halfway to Maysville, he over
took the fugitives, and attempted TO seize
the young lady. The young PhiIadel-
phian waived him off and spoke in this
wise: "Sir, you can't have her; and you
must do one Of these three things-you
must 90 back and leave us to pursue our
Journey, or you must kill me ,or III kill you.
This talk brought guardy up standing. 1t
was entirely unexpected. And not wish
ing to Kill, and particularly not to be
killed, he accepted the FIRST proposition,
turned tail, and took the back track. The
lovers pursued their way to MaySvliIe,
crossed over 10 Aberdeen, were married,
drove back to Cynthiana, and put up al
the principal hotel.
A crowd at once surrounded the house,
and threatened vengeance on the PhlIa-
delphian for carrying away the pretiiest
GIRL in the town, and who was the prom,
Iised wife of an esteemed citizen. The
young man, nothing daunted, placed hls
wife in safety in her chamber, and then
came boldly down TO the steps of the no,
tel, and began to address the mob. If oul
photographic notes are correct, his speech
was exactly in these words "GeniIe'
men: You ought not to blame me ior
what | have done. Most Of you would
have done the same thing, had you been
in nv place. Instead of threats and re,
proaches, you ought TO offer me com
DIimentary supper. Suil, if you are NO
satisfied, 1 am ready to give YOU satIsiac
tion. Twill fight You all, one at time
and if that don't do, I'm ready 10 put yol
all through al once, and then clean on
the balance Of the town."
The show of chivaLry was too mucl
for Kentucky audience. The sympathy
o: the crowd at once changed sides. They
gave him three deafening cheers, anc
then rushed in and congratulated him will
all the heartiness of the Kentucky charac
ter. The landlord was ordered TO bring
out his best Bourbon, and plenty Of ii, anc
the crowd, with great good will and sin
cerity, gave and drank to the happy groom
the noble sentiment: "None but tht
brave deserves the fair"

How TO MAKE Soar WITH POTAsH.-
Take one pint of the best unslacked stone
lime, slack it into one gallon and half of
boiling water, then add TO the Stacked lime
three gallons and half Of cold water
desolve enough potash in the lime water
TO make it bear an egg--it will take about
FIVE pounds at least--let it stand aIl night
in the morning, weigh out about fifteen
pounds of grease and put it in pot that
will hold ten gallOns--then put it on the
fire and commence putting in the lie, un-
til the grease is eaten up-then finish the
soap with clear water or weak lie, then
salt it and pour it into tub TO cool. This
will make good and cheap soap--the writer
has tried it for the last five years with
success. The potash can be procured at
any drug store at 0 cts, per pOund--l5 >
pounds will make about rs lbs. Of soap.
APPLES WITHOUT SEEDS OR Cores
A correspondent of the Memphis Wing
gives the following recipe for obtaining
apples without seeds and cores
Take the ends of the limbs of an apple
tree, where they hang low SO as TO reach
the ground, dig small hole for each end
under the tree, bend it down and bury il
in the hole confnding it down so that il
will remain. Do this in the winter, or
beginning offspring. The end of the limbs
thus buried will take root and put up
sprouts of scions, which when they be-
come sufficiently large TO "set out" dig
up at the proper season, and transplant
them in the orchard where you wish to
remain. When they getlarge enough to
bear, they will bear apples as above.
TOMATO CATsUP.-The following, from
long experience, we know to be the best
recipe extant for making good catsuP -
Take one bushel OF tomatoes, and boil
them till they are soft. Squeeze them
through a fine wire sieve, and add half a
gallon of vinegar, one pint and half OF
salt, two ounces of cloves, quarter Of a
pound Of allspice, three table-sPoonslul OF
black pepper, five heads of garlic skinned
and separated. Mix together and boil a
bout three hours, oruDlll reduced to about
one half. Then bottle without strainiog.
SOMETHING WORTH kNowING.-lt Is a
fact perhaps not generally known to far
mers, and which al this season, Is lmPor-
tant, that there are two parts IN the potato
which if separated and planted at the same
time, one will produce potatoes fit for the
table eight or ten days sooner than the
other. The small end Of The potato,
which is generally full of eyes. is the par
which produces the earliest; the middle
or body of the potato the late, and always
large ones. This we learn FROM an ex'
change.

Make me grave upon the marge
OF some soft s!lvery stream:
Whose ripping waters flash with joy
At mornings gentle beam:
For am weary Of this life,
My soul can find no rest;
Ny heart is sad, and sorrows shroud
Lies heavy on my breast.
KGat sad and bitter memories
Around my pathway throng
And haunt my soul like dismal tones
Of some forgotten song
And is there hope upon this earth
All, ell, alas have fled
End now pray to find repose
Amid the silent dead.
Then make my grave in some lone spot
Where can find repose
Away from human noise and din,
Away from mortal foes;
And then when /, from earthly chains
My inmost soul have riyen;
Thsres rest indeed for me at last
Ihope, within the courts of heaven.

The Girls OF Kalarat.

correspondent OF lNe LOnuOH hOIu-
ing News, writing from Kalaiat, under the
date Of March Sd, thus writes about the
young girls and children
Many of the young girls and nearly all
the children are extremely handsome.
Some Of the former would excite "a sem
salion" in many London drawiDg'room,
if only their hair had come more frequent
ly in contact with the comb, and their ia
ces with soap and water. Their regular
features and glowing dark eyes betray
their Roman origin, even if the evidence
were unsupported by the harmonious flow
of their language. Their Petlcoats, not
very long even when atLred en- grGnde
fe,lue, are. when in their everyday dress,
as short as the most enthusiastic admrer
of fine limbs could desire, in many IN
stances not reaching the knee, the remain
der of the leg being enCased in long wool
en- stockings, which not being remarka-
bly, well garlered, hardly ever fail to TALL
down about the ankle and TO reveal II IN
state ofunadorned nature, broszed or red
dened by sun and wind. The remainder
of the costume is a short gown OF cotton
/ or some similarly light fabric, surmoun-
ted by asheepskin jacket; the couture a
handkerchief, wrapped carelessIy or grace
fully, according to the temperament OF the
wearer, around the head. Like all the
women of the East and South, however,
their beauty, like the roses, blooms early
and dies quickly. They are mauagea-
bic at frleen-wiihered and wrlnkled al
