BOUND TO MARRY SOMEBODY

A young couple from Southern Illinois.
or Egypt, came to the city the other day,
for the avowed purpose of getting hitched
together in the traces of matrimony The
bride was full grown, ed-cheek, sandy
haired maiden, with q well developed bust,
and foot like the Cincinnati platform
broad enough to cover the whole county
Her gallant was six feet and an inch, with
fist like a sledge hammer, and a shock of
hair like the remains of a small hurricane.

with his intended, at clearinghouse up

barber took off his wiry beard in short Or

being told what shampooning meant, he

and he felt like new man. But the sham
pooning had so bewiIdered his brain that
when he left the BARRIERS he was perfectly |
obliyious as to the course he should steer |
to return to his bride. He wandered about
the city in perfect bewiderment and has
not been seen since.
The lady, in the meantime, had awaited

had mcontinently absquatulated. She de-
clared, however, that she would newer ro

A good-looking young boatman, who was
stopping at the house, hearing of the younp

himself. He was not long in making known
his intention, and his advances were receiv-

HORRIBLE WRECK.

The New York Tribune gives a shock
ing picture of the scene at the wreck of the
brig Emmeline on Sunday morning last. on
the Jersey coast, near Sandy Hook. The
vessel was in distress, and was run ashore
to save the lives of the captain and crew.
She was seen approaching the beach. where
crowd of wreckers and others were gath
cred to witness the catastrophe. The faces
OF the crew could be seen, pale and CHASTITY,
and, as she struck, every man cried, sGod
help u.s." But they chung to the lev rig
ging as the vessel was dashed over. She
lay about eighty yards from shore. The
maIl sail was half set, and the six men on
board got under the lee of it, end were, for
a time, sheltered from the storm. They
must have been frozen until they were too
weak for exerti0n, they did not launch
their boat. The mortar was placed on shore
and fire lines shot from it in succession,
all of which lodged in the rigging of the |
vessel, but the feeble and worn out sailors |
were unable to reach it. Soon the mainsail |
gave way, and being then exposed to the
full fury of the storm, with the sea sween-
ing the deck, some of the doomed men took
to the rigging, while others went into the
cabin. Too feeble to help themselves the
few above looked imploringly ashore. One
attempted TO save himself by throwing
overheard the top of the galley and jumping
after it, but after struggling bravely for fif-
teen minutes, was drowned by getting un-
der the shore ice. The three men who
went into the cabin were not seen again.
The two remaining men above, froze to (
lrath i'll the rigging. On Monday, the
'rig broke in two. and the fragments drove
shore.

BURNING OF NEGRO NOSE IN
ALABAMA.

We find the following account of the
burning Of this negro, at Abbeville, Ala,
in the Eufaula Native. 1t will be recollect-
ed that the crime for which Moses was burn
ed, was the murder of his master:
A large concourse of people was assem-
bled at Abbeville, numbering from 1000 to
5000. The negro was taken from the Jail
by the guard; no opposition was offered by
the sheriff. The place was arranged before
the negro arrived. A green pine stake was
set in the ground firmly. and around that,
pile of fat pine was arranged in diameter
about six feet, and about four feet high
He was bound head and feet to the pole,
and before fire was placed to the pole, the
wretch made the following confession,-
''That he had murdered his master, but
would not have done it had it not been for
a white man." He made some other con-
fessions, duplicating a white man and an
other negro in the affair.
Our informant says that when he left the
fire had already consumed his head, legs
and feet, and that they were piling on more
wood to finish the body.
