taken of with fine smooth saw, after

wound is left ragged and torn SO that rain

A RUNAWAY MARRIAGE IN HIGH
LIFE

The Bride U0rth S25O,OOO.-A mar
riage took place in Grace church OH Mon
dav last. that has excited no little interest
III fashionable circles and caused quite
flutterng among certain wealthy families.
1t seems the bride is an heress, and worth
in her own right S250,0O0. She was the
inmate of one Of our most exclusive female
semInarIes, and is but fourteen years and
eight months old. Her wealth and high
position of her family were of course
known 10 her associates, and her acquainl-
ance was consequently courted. Among
the gentlemen she was introduced to was
$ 4, well known habiue of
Fifth Avenue saloons, but who had reached
the mature age OF thlrty-One years. The
acquaintance ripened into intimacy, and
eventually the parties became engaged TO
be married; but as the parents might in
terpose an objection, it was arranged that
1t should take place unknown TO them or
any of the young lady's friends 1t was
agreed that the happy event should come
off last Saturday (St Valentines day. and
the church was opened, the minister ready,
and few spectators had also assembled to
witness the marriage ceremony which was
announced for IL, i. NJ. But noon came
and went, and no bride made her appear
ance, and the church was closed. Ii seems
that the principal of the seminary in which
the young lady was pupil got wind that
something unusual was on the tapiS, and
she locked the would be bride i'll her room
and SO prevented the luIflment Of her en-
gagement. But love laughs at lock
smiths" and by some means Mr.. K
was notified of the situation of affairs, and
arranged matters in such manner that the
young lady escaped from surveillance, and
the couple were duly married in one of
our most fashionable uptown churches on
the l5th inst. The bride and bridegroom
Immediately started for Washington, and
intend TO spend the honeymoon OH
Southern tour. This pleasant little affair
has created quite all excitement among the
young ladies in upper tendon, and is TO
them far more interesting than the Bond
street tragedy. N. /. Herald Feb. 10,

A MISSIONARY SENTENCED.

One of the city missionaries of Boston,
Rev. Peter Mason, was invited with his
family a short time since, to spend the al
ternoon at the house of friend, and on
returning, he found his house in the hands
of crowd of people, at the head of whom
was Judge Russell of the Police Court
The Judge explained the unusual demon
stration to be son account OF the conduct"
of the missionary, and proceeded to pass
the following sentence:
Father Mason: Yon have been accused
of divers grave offences. 1t is charged
that having the fear of God and the love
of man before your eyes, moved by the In
stigation Of humanity, you have habitually
sought and relieved the destitute, the sick
and the afflicted; that you have preached
the gospel to the poor; that you have COM
torted those in prison. 1t is said that you
nave believed that even the men and wOm-
ell who have been convicted of being
. drunk by the voluntary use of intoxica-
ting liquors" might yet have hearts to feel
and souls to save. You are further charg-
ed with diminishing the number of inmates
at the Jail, land the jailor conspires TO
cloak your offence;) with reducing the fees

WOOd fishes as q Fertiiizer.-In near
ly all soils ashes are Beneficial to cutiva-
ted plants, but more so on sandy or gray
ELY land than clay; the latter being formed
of granite rocks naturally contains potash.
Turnips, beets, carrots, potatoes, etc., con-
tain very large amount of alkalies, and
to such ashes are found 10 be very bene-
fetal. But the immediate benefit of ashes
Is most percePrble upon leguminous plants,
such as peas, beans and clover. On grass
land 1t destroys moss, sorrel, and all our
sour plants. On poor thin soils it should
be mixed with peat, barnyard and other
organic or vegetable manures. Lime is
excellent for wheat or corn. These two
crops grow well wherever clover will grow
in calcareous soils. Barley requires a
RICH loan, finely pulverized. 1t will not
grow we'll on a sandy or soft soil. twill
always do well on land suitable for turnips.
A strong clay, well pulverized and dry,
will yield good crop. Clay soils always
contain more or less lime .rf
Wood ashes are most excellent ma.
nure, and can be used to advantage on al.
most all soils or crops. Orchards fatten
on them. Unleached they act rapidly and
powerfully; leached they act more slowly
but continue to act for many years after
being applied. The mechanical effect of
soils is TO render sands more compact and
retentlve of water, while they separate and
render friable heavy clay.
Some farmers apply ashes as top dres-
sing. This will do very well on pastures

NEEDLE MANIA.

Charles Sumner, M. D., gives rather
strange account in the Rochester IN. Y. }
Union of case of mania for sticking
needles and pins in the flesh:
The subject was young lady, nineteen
years OF age, of nervous temperament,
very healthy, and the daughter Of re-
spectacle farmer in Bullernutts, Otsego
county, \. Y. She first came 10 my office
April 2Slh, 1853, to have needle extract
ed from her left arm, which she said ''got
in accidentally as she was moving a bun
die of carpet rags" This, medium-siz-
ed sewing needle, was soon found and eX-
traCted from the anterior side of the fore
arm, about midway between the wrist and
the elbow. In less than week she called
again, SAYING she had another needle in
her arm. examined and found deep in
the bend OF the arm, hard substance,
which proved to be 4 needle similar to the
first, and accounted for in similar man
ner. One week after this the arm was
very much swollen, painful and presented
the appearance of malignant erysipelas,
which continued about SIX days.
The writer then goes on to detail the
extraction of large number during pc
Rod of about three years, and winds up as
follows:
The whole number extracted was, Of
sewing needles, 297-and these were OF
all slzes-pins, 81; darning needles, 2;
hair pins, 5; knitting needles and wire,
each 5-total, 383. Great efforts were
being made on the part of the family TO
detect her in The act of inserting the nee
dies, but in vain. 1t was ascertained by
comparison that most of them were taken
from a box of needles which had lam in
the house for long time. This was re-
moved, but she cOnlrived TO use the same
kind, evidently from a supply secreted
about the premises. Almost every means
has been resorted to, to find the reason for
so strange a fancy; but nothing has vet
developed it. She is firm in her denial
of knowing when, how, or why she did il;
simply saying at must be that | do it, for
| know no one else does" She is per-
fectly sane on every other subject, although
the effect upon her general health has been
bad, yet during great share of these years
of suffering she has performed her accus-
toned portion of household duties.

robbed the mail of monied letters, but es-
capped before the officers of the Common

Whew!-The Kansas Kickapoo Ran
ger appears to be holding on to the good
old Border Ruffian times. See how the
Ranger kicks: "Kansas must and shall be
a slave State. Mark what we say, South
ern freemen! Come along with your ne
groes, and plough up every inch of ground
that is at this moment disgraced and defa-
ced by an Abolition plough. Send the
scoundrels back TO whence they came, or
send them to HI, it matters not which
destination; suit your own convenience.
Sound the bugle of war over the length
and breadth OF the land, and leave not an
Abolitonist in the territory to relate their
treacherous and communicating deeds
Stick your piercing rifle balls and your
glittering steel TO their black and poisonous
hearts; let the war-cry never cease in
Kansas again until our territory is divested
of the last vesiige of Abolitionism."

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Ard never brought to min;
Should auld acquaintance be forgot.
And songs Of auld lang Synef
For auid lang syne we meet tonight,
For auld lang syne;
To sing the song our fathers sang
In days of auld lang syne.
We've passed through many varied scenes.
Since youths unClouded day;
And friends, and hopes, and happy dreams,
Times hand hath swept away.
And voices that once Joined with ours.
In days Of auId lang syne,
Are silent now, and blend no moro
In strains of aud lang Syne.
Vet ever has the light Of song
lllumed our darkest hours;
And cheered us on life's toilsOme way,
And gemmed our path with MOWERS:
The sacred songs our fathers sang,
Dear songs Oi auld lang syne;
The halOwed songs our fathers sang
In the days Of auid lang syHc.
Here We have met-hcre We may part
To meet on earth no more;
And We may never sing again
The cherished songs of yoFc:
The sacred songs our fathers sang
In days of auld lang syuc;
We may not meet to sing again
The songs Of aud lang syur.
But when we've crossed the sea Of life.
And reached the heavenly shore,
Wen sing the psalms our fathers sing
Trauscendiug those Of yors:
Wen meet To sing dviuer strains
Than those Of auli lang sync,
Immortal songs of praise, unknown
In days Of auId lang svne.
