INTEMPERANCE DID IT-A SAD STORY
The Troy Times tells a sad story of the
destruction Of young and lovely female
by intemperance. 4 few months since, a
young lady of one of the first families of
that city, was married to a New York mer-
chant under circumstances most auspicious
for the happiness Of both. Lately she re-
turned to her home in Troy, discarded by
her husband on account of her mania for
intoxicating drinks, and in few weeks
she died of brain fever, induced by her
habits. The father of the young lady has
lately been called upon, within three
months, to mourn the death of wife and
daughter by intoxication; and son, once
noble and manly, whose highest nature has
been perverted by the same cause.

~ On the Western Reserve, Ohio,
lives an ossifed man. His joints are
fast, and he is not capable of making
the slightest movement, except alter
nately opening and shutting two fingers
of his right hand. His body is as rigid
as iron, and it could not be bent forward
or backward without breaking some of
his bones. This singular process of os-
sifcation has been going on in his sys-
tenn for more than twenty years. He is
now about 46 years of age. and has not
had the use of his limbs, so that he could
walk, since he was nineteen. Ossifica-

gradually extending itself through his
system until he was entirely hopeless.
If his nails be cut, blood flows from
them. He is blind, too, but is always
cheerful, and converses freely and intel

HIGH WIND.-During the wind on Sat-
urday afternoon, and while the dust was
circulating so thick that no one could
see more than the length of an eyelash
in front, lady, dressed in the most ell
egant style, in coming round one OF the
corners, was lifted off her feet by the
force of the wind acting on the great ex
panse of surface which she presented to
it. The wind unfortunately did not set
her down in the same position in which
she was before being taken up, but
turning her gently on one side, it laid
her endwise on the sidewalk, where she
commenced a series of astonishing gy-
rations. rolling over and over on the
hoops of the skirts, and exhibited spe-
eies of locomotion which is not general
ly appreciated, and which may come
into fashion with high winds and large
circlets of light material. As the lady
thus rolled over and over, several per-
sons were knocked down and passed
over by the lady and hoops, without
ever knowing that anything had hurt
them. Fortunately for the lady, the
dust and the astonishment of the people
out of doors permitted but few to wit
ness this new method of getting along
in stiff breeze and keeping up full sail
