V1LLA1NIEs OF A TRAPPING TAILOR
The Huntsville Item says; John NJ
Bowling came here, few weeks ago, 10
work as a tailor with B. NJ. ClopIon, oil
our town. He is native OF Brooklyn
N Y, and went to Murfreesborough,
Tennessee, some years ago, where he
married young lady of wealthy connec-
lions, named Miss Mary Smith. The
lady acquired some property from her re-
lations, in the way Of negroes. and, as
the two concluded TO come TO Texas, the
slaves were sold, and Bowling retained all
the money. They have had one child,
since dead, and the wife is now encierte.
A few weeks ago, Bowling gathered all
the money and other valuabIes of his wife,
and 'sloped,' leaving her perfectly desu-
tute. He went to New Orleans, and is
thought will 90 back to New York. He
is about five feet nine inches high, sallow
complexion, and the point of his Proboscis
looks toward the heavens, as if it scorned
connection with his mouth. How the
lady ever came to marry him is a mystery
to us, for she is very handsome {; bat there
is no accounting for tastes. What effects
he had left here were sold, few days ago,
and fund was raised by Messrs. Binford
and CIoplon enough to send her back to
her friends. She left in the stage on Wed,
nesday, a broken-hearted deserted plumber
ed woman.

DERrs OF EURoPE.---The funded debt
Of all the European States Is, in the ag-
preGate, about $1,000, 100000 or $40 for
each jnhabitant. Switzerland is the only
European country out of debt. As war
is imminent, all these countries are IN the
market as borrowers, some with and some
withou, credit, so that the people have the
prospect of considerable addition to their
already burlhensOme taxes.

Death from Delirium Tremens.

Hans Johnson was one of the three
Norwegians arrested and committed TO
Jail for the murder of one Of their own
counrymen in drunken spree last Sat,
urday night, by strangling him with whis-
key. Soon after he was incarcerated
Hans showed symptoms of delirium tre-
mems, which increased in violence in spite
of all the TAILOR or physician could DO for
his relief, until he died on Thursday ev'
ening. He would neither eat, drink, nor
taste any medicine, except by compulslon,
Even his favorite beverage, which he had
chosen for so many years, was refused
with all the adherence Of maniac. The
few last days of his life, his suferings
must have been awful beyond conception.
Left to himself in his cell he tore every
thing to atoms upon which he could vent
his fury, and tore his own flesh IN his
agony. He would try for hours to climb
the sides of his cell TO escape from the
tormenting little fends with which his
Imagination filed the little apartment,
while his cries and impreeations, although
in language few about him could under
stand, filled all who heard them with hOr-
ror, that any human being could be the
subject of such terrible suffering. Allasl
nature gave out and he died. The Coro-
ner's jury passed through formal in
queSt-the sexton came and buried him.
Cannot those who indulge in the use of
intoxicating drinks see TO what they are
all liable TO come There are none so
strong in body or in mind as 20 be proof
against the danger, as the history of drum
kenness from the first 10 the last victim
fully proves.-Chic Dem. Press.

DEATHS By LIGHTNING IN VIRGINIA. 1.-The
Culpeper Observer states that Mr.. William
Richards, overseer OF Mr.. J. W. George, above
FIVE miles east Sof Culpeper Courthouse, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed, during
storm on Monday last.
Miss Cordelia Gathright was the name of the
young lady killed by lightning few days ago,
in Goochland county.
On Wednesday last two negroes, belonging to
Mr. William Palmer, of Mecklenburg county,
were killed by lightning, while engaged with
nine others, together with their overseer, in a
barn asserting tobacco. The balance of the
party were severely stunned, but are said to be
recovering. The lightning struck one of the
negroes on the head, ran down the spine and
right leg, splitting his toes in pieces, and max
ing hole like that of bullet in the sole of his
| shoe, passing to the ground. The skin of the
other negro was not broken. Also, on Friday
| following, DR.. George Jefferson, of the same
neighborhood, had a team of five horses killed
| instantly by the same cause. The driver had
| fortunately left the team, and taken shelter
| from the shower in an old house, but for which
circumstance he would doubtless have been
| killed
These facts we gather from the Clarksville
| ssTobaoco Plant
On the property of Thos Whitlock, of Ches-
terrified, about five miles from Petersburg, 8
negro girl, while engaged in stacking wheat
was killed by a lightning flash on Thursday
evening last.

ments, a clerk in the Post office, was examined
on Saturday before U. S. Commissioner George
Eustis, Jr., on charge made by George Whit
man of having appropriated letter containing

The letter was directed to the publishers of the

ment in the place of Mr.. Noise, and Judge

certificate, issued in favor of one J. j. Nc

able to find bill, the Attorney General dis
missed the case. Murphy then prosecuted Will
der for perjury. On the examination Of the
ease, Mr.. Wider subp@naed one of the grand
jurors and the Attorney General, who testified
in substance that the evidence before the Grand

cate an Mathematician its dismissal. The
Recorder, after hearing the testimony, dismissed
the case.

temporarily in this city, was stopping at one of
our hotels, when her chamber was suddenly
entered by two well dressed men, who politely
inquired if Mr., Rice occupied the room, to
which she replied that she was the sole occu-
pant. The intruders, with many apologies, re-
treated; but the lady afterwards discovered
that they had taken with them her porte monnaie,
containing about 300 in cash and a check for a
similar amount, her funds for contemplated
journey, and which she had, after counting,
laid upon her trunk Subsequent inquiry
showed that there was no Mr.. Rice in the house,

were not afterwards seen. boston Traveller.
