The proposition ''took," " and he accord

DEATH OF F. x. AuBREY.-The Santa
Fe Gazette of August 26th, gives the
following circumstantial account of the
difficulty which resulted in the death of
Mr.. Aubrey. 1t says:
1t becomes our painful duty this week,
to report fatal rencontre that took
place in this city between Mr.. Francis x.
Aubrey and Major R. H. Weightman,
which resulted in the death of the
former. The facts, within our .knowl-
edge, we obtained from the witnesses to
the transaction as they related them,
under oath, before his honor Judge
Davenport, who sat as the committing
magistrate, and therefore may be relied
on.
Mr.. Aubrey returned from California
to this city last Friday, the 18th inst,
about two O'Clock in the afternoon, and
stopped at the store of Messrs. Mercure.
At the time, Major Weightman was sit
ting at the southeast corner of the plaza,
and seeing Mr.. Aubrey ride up. re-
marked that Aubrey had come. and he
must go and see him, and accordingly
went down to the store. Mr.. Aubrey,
at the time Weightman entered the store,
was in the act of drinking; they shook
hands in a friendly manner. and the
former asked the latter to drink with
him which he declined to do, and took
seat upon the counter. A general
conversation then took place between
them about the journey Of Mr.. Aubrey
from California, which lasted minute
or two, when Aubrey began TO talk
about the newspaper called FL Amigo
del Pals. which Weightman had for
merly edited in Albuquerque. He
asked Weightman what had become of
his paper, who replied that it died for
want Of subscribers Aubrey then said

A Buck IN JEwELRY SroRE.-The
Springfield Republican says that seven
of flock of sheep entered a jewelry
store in that city on Thursday morning
led by a stalwart buck. The latter was
instantly attracted by the sight of an
other bristling buck in a large mirror at
the end of the store, and lowering his
head and taking fair start, he plump
ed into his supposed rival. Judge, per-
haps, his own and the storekeeper's as
tonishment at the crash that ensued.-
One of the four panes of which the
mirror was composed. though third
inch thick, shivered to pieces under his
well directed blow. The shop dog here
interposed and drove of the animals be-
fore they could do more mischief. The
glass broken was 8 feet by 4, and cost
about S25.

Hoe SToRY.-We heard capital an
ecdote about hogs the other day. In
Madison and other counties, mast is We
ry scarce. 1t abounds, however, in the
county of Estill. Many hogs are dri-
ven there, which the Estill people con-
sidered an infringement on their rights,
Councils were called to deliberate how
to rid themselves of this nuisance. Ma
ny plans were proposed, but finally. af-
ter good deal of debate, one was adOp-
ted. 1t seems that hogs have great
fears of bears. Accordingly the skin
of bear was procured, and large SOW
was caught from one Of the droyes. She
was covered with the bear skin and then
let loose. She Immediately returned
among the droves, but on her approach
all the hogs took fight, pursued by the
SOW with the bear skin. 1t is stated
that since this experiment not hog has
crossed the confines Of Estill county.

rambles; but there was taste and neat

which gave it really cheerful aspect
We asked the old woman if she ever
apprehended any danger while thus
living so utterly alone, and she replied,
of course not, who would harm poor
forsaken being like me? 1 amt afraid
even of the bears, for it's only last fall
that one came down here, and scratched
up my garden, but l drove him off with
a big stick Up to this point, every
thing we saw and heard concerning this
aged woman was strange, but, when we
rose to depart, we were still more as
tonished by her wild movements and
her address to the following effect:
''Men, thank you for your good
ness; cannot read, but my Great Fa-
ther has told me, in my heart, all about
it. There is Heaven, men, and it's a
very happy place; and there is a he'll,
men; and its very dreadful place, they
both will never have an end. Now,
men, good bye; you have been good to
the old woman, but we must part; good
bye; We shall meet once more, at the
Judgment, but for only a short time
Live, men, SO that you may get to Hea-
ven."
And so we left the strange, strange
being; and 1 am confident that long af-
ter her bones shall have mingled with
the dust, one trio of travellers, if still
living, will remember with wonder and
pleasure their interview with the Her
NIT Woman Of the AlleghGnies.
