Our county has recently been the scene of 4.
sad occurrence. A Mr.. Cese, residing at the
foot of the Allegheny Mountain, started out TO
hunt and was followed by his two little boys.
aged seven and five years. After hunting some
time, he returned home and found that the chill

from five hundred to one thousand people. On
the twelfth day the children were found dead IN
a swamp seven miles from Their home.
The search had unfortunately been too much
confined to the mountains, aud the poor little
boys continued TO wander through the swamps
and bottoms until overcome by hunger and "a

The reason is very obvious, Slavery and the

therefore, do not project lines which run in CON

keeper. Taking him up with his trunk, softly,
he would place him on his horse, but finding
that the man was senseless, he laid him on the
ground and kept watch over him. Many mem
bers of the menagerie tried to sooth the faithful
animal, who had now become furious at the sup
posed death OF his master, but to no purpose,
and there the man lay, watched by the sagacous
animal. After lying in this condition for some
time, physician, who had been sent for arriv-
cd, and yet the elephant would allow no one to
approach. AT length the keeper became so far
conscious as TO command the elephant to let the
physician come near and the animal was docile

properly cared for-the elephant, all the while.

LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL.-Women have a
much nicer sense of the beautiful than men,
They are, by far, the safer umpires in matters
of propriety and grace. A mere school girl will
be thinking and writing about the beauty of
birds and flowers, while her brother is robbng
the nest and destroying the flowers. Herein IS
great natural law, that the sexes have their
relative excellencies and deficiencies, IN the
harmonious union of which lies all the wealth OF
domestic happiness. There is no better test OF
moral excellence, ordinarily, than the keeness
of ones senses, and the depth Of ones love of
all that is beautiful.
