THE WILD MAN AGAIN.

A correspondent of The Caddo Gazette, writing
under date Of the 2sth u from Paraiiita Arkansas,
on Upper Red River, states that the cold during the
present Winter has been in that region the seyerest
within the memory of man. The rivers were frozen
solid tie plains presented an unbroken sheet OF snow.
The writer relates the following story Of attempt to
capture the famous Wild man. who has been so often
encountered Oh the borders Of Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana:
"In nov travels met party from your country in
pursuit OF wild man. They had struck his trail at
cane-broke bordering on Brant Lake and the sun
Flower ~ Grie. learned from one OF the party that
the dogs ran him 10 an of the lake which was
frozen but not sufficiently strong to bear his weight,
which Consequently gave way. He had, however,
crossed and the dogs were at fault.
One Of the party, mounted on fleet horse,
coming up encouraged the dogs to pursue, but found
il lCsbc to cross with his horse, and ooncludedto
follow the lake round until he could ascertain the di-
recOn taken by tbs monster Of the forest On rea h

ice with lis arms, ana hastened under cover OF the
underground, 10 the spot where he expected nun TO

he had full view Of him, until he reached the shore,
where he came ont aud shook himself. He represents
him a. stout athletic man. about six feet four inches
in hight completely covered with hair of browuish

the object of the party being 10 take him alive, and
hearing the horns of Bis comrades and the bowling OF
the dogs on the opposite bank of the lake be con-
cluded to tide up and head him, as TO bring him to
hey and then their prize. So soon, however,
as the wild man the horse and rider he rushed
frantically toward them and in instant dragged the
hunter to the ground and tore him in most dreadful
manner scrathirg cut OF bis eyes and njurng the

TIE GRISwOLD DIVORCE CASE.

To he Editor Of The ~ \. Trit2aG
SIR: Allow to call your attention to an article
published in The TRIBUNE of this morning. headed
"Ihe Grswold Divorce Case and to point out
briefly the misstattments and false conclusions con-
tanned in II.
The Court, in their opinion denying the motion 10
vacate the decree of divorce, the following Ian
Cuaye. cite only those portions stating the conc!u
sions to which they anive:
at was streuousy urged the psrt Of the respondent tat
more Of the roceeoipfs 10 tn case mao Uee b
ceeos carried while the RESPONDED was Kept IL "
noranc that BY this snler of conductng the case h9
btant had in posed upon tie Court and auaeety oo'eed
Il decree in his favor ;, =, 49,,
These portions are not however sustained by inc evidence
which has been submitted to u.s.
But it said on behalf Of the respondent letter
written BY obtained by force and fraud and should be
low deeerded This hlws'eI Is not sustained oy Tie e
Neither have We been able TO discover any such gross fraud
upon the respondent the Court " has been
suggested on bei behalf"
The main grourl however upon which feel obliged TO
the present motion the uncertainty which exists as to
the fact any divorce having been entered By the Court"
The Court, in preacng their opinion, do indeed say
with entire impertinence TO the grounds upon which
the application was based or upon which their de-
ci.ion rested that "the lady who married to the
libeant within few days after the alleged decree
" of divorce had become engaged to hun some time
previously"
II il utterly false that as this article asserts the
decision of the Court has settled" either, THAT
| "Rufus W. Griswold never divorced from the
respondent" or that the lady named " intermsrred
with him with full knowledge that he WIS then the
"husbahd of another woman.
The Court travelled out Of the record to say, very
unnecessarily and very Improperly, that the lady who
was married to DR.. q. became engaged 10 him pre-
youslv TO the alleged Decree but nowhere that she IN
tn married with him with full knowledge that he was
Then the husband of another woman and they say fur
