D9- tyrannical husband locked the door
against his wife, who was out visiting neigh
Dor, and when she applied for admittance he
pretended not to know her. She threatened to
jump in the we'll if he did not open the door.
He had no idea that she would do so, and obsti-
nately insisted that he did not know her, 50 she
took big log and plunged it into the we'll, and
simultaneously with the splash it made she
placed herself by the side of the door, and as
soon as the husband darted out in his night
clothes, she darted in, locked the door, and de-
clared that she did not know him. She froze
him till he was penitent, and then let him in.

CouNr PuLAsK1.-The Savannah News Of a
recent date, contains an interesting article by
Col. w. P. Bowen, on the death and burial place
of this chivalrous and heroic Pole. The subject
is one Of peculiar interest and the writer is well
entitled to the gratitude of the American and
European public for the light he has shed upon
an event in our revolutionary history about
which there has existed 50 much uncertainty.
History informs us that Count Pulaski was
mortaly wounded at the siege Of Savannah, on
the 9th of October, 1879, and was borne from
the field Of battle by his comrades without any
molestation from the enemy. Tradition says
that he was conveyed to Greenwich and there
placed on board of one of the vessels composing
Count D Estaing's feet and conveyed to Charles
ton, but that be died before the vessel reached
that city, and met "watery grave"
The communication Of Col. B. clearly proves
the falicy Of this tradition, and establishes, be-
yond controversy, the important fact, that Pu-
laski died at Greenwich, and was buried on
beautiful spot near majestic palmetto and
glossy-leave holly, in the rear Of the extensive
shrubbery and garden grounds Of his (the wri-
ters) ancestors at Greenwich, where the Counts
remains were lately e1humed BY him and depo-
sited in the Medical College of Savannah. The
article to which we allude is deeply interesting,
and is, no doubt, correct history Of the last
end Of the illustrious Pole, whose memory should
ever remain green in the hearts and affections
Of the American people.
