BEHIND THE AGE.-A correspondent OF The Uincn-
natl Gazette, writing from the White Sulphur
Springs, says: "On the bank of the river, above
this place about mile, in rude tenement built of
stone, there lives family whose history and char
acteristics constitute curiosity The members of
this family consist of two brothers and one sister,
ranging in age from seventy to eighty years. None
OF them are married, and they have lived where
None of them have ever visited Columbus, or even
Delaware, the county town, or seen railway, To-
connective or steamer, though the Springfield and
Mt. Vernon Railway passes within two miles of one
of their farms. They have three od-fashioned flint
guns each of which they say has done good service
In the Staying of deer and Indians, each gun being
remarkable for some one particular exploit in this
line"

FEARFUL ACCIDENTAL HORSE DRAGGING A
DEAD BODY THREE WEEKs.-E, rly in August,
John Rawle, a lad Of Is years, living in Vol
eano, Amador county, who had vsi1ly been en-
deayOring to obtain his fathers consent to 90
to Frazer River, disappeared, taking with him
a valuable horse belonging to the family 1t
was supposed he had started for Frazer River,
and so little anxiety was felt in regard to him.
On the 18th of August his body was found in
the Butte Ditch, few miles east of ckson,
attached by lariat" TO half horse.
From appearances, the boy, ON the night after
leaving home, lay down to sleep, with the horse
tied to his person, to prevent his escape. The
animal, becoming unmanagble through fright
during the night had run off and dragged his
master by the rope until the boys life was ex-
tinct Afterwards the horse had continued to
Craze around, dragging the body along for three
weeks. Finally, the corpse had been dragged
into ditch, where it became entangled beyond
the horses strength to extricate 1t. In his
efforts to pull loose, the horse had out his neck
to the bone with the rope. The boys remains
were horribly mutiated. Most Of his limbs
were broken and the flesh rubbed bare from
the bone.

A n
AND JUPITER.-The Rev. Mr.. Harris, one of the
most prominent Of the spirituaIists, has lately,
says the Providence Journal, made a fiyine
visit to Mars and Jupiter, and to one of the
spheres OF the heavenly world and has given
an account OF the state Of society in those re-
gIons. The following condensed account of
some oil the wonders that he saw is from the
Springfield Republican. The girls in those re-
giOns must be delightful but the newspapers
must be dull :.
He encountered lad selling the Morning
Star, one Of the heavenly daily papers. and he
was delighted to find that there was NO per-
sonal gossip, no hostile criticism, no inuen-
does, no unkindness of any species, and not a
solitary word out of charity from beginning to
end The most curious thing about the paper
was that In somo parts of the sheet | noticed
blanks, and was Informed, afterwards. that
such articles alone as it was in order for me to
peruse was apparent to my eye, and this was
the uniform law. The paper contained adyer-
ti'ements Of plays 10 be performed at several of
the theatres in the heavens. -.
But what most interested Mr.. Harris, was
the pleasant discoveries that love, courtship,
and marriage are not only known in heaven,
but are universal there. Hear how be 0lori,
ies the heaven girls:
The heaven girls are fond and true the
earth girls too often inconsistent and cold at
heart. The heaven girls are not ashamed of
aught in divine order which the Lord has be-
slowed upon them rs gift. Their true woman
hood wells itself in no false disguise. Their
artless simplicity lacks no guidance of proper
wisdom, nor do they seek to know aught but the
good, the right, and the truly noble. They put
on no meretricious arts, affect no graces which
are not their own, and speaking always from
right motives and from divine purposes, dis.
course with lucid clearness of pure thought,
In which language flows and sparkles like the
waters OF sunny stream. GirlhoOd there is
real, dealing neither with the frippery of com.
pliments, nor the impurity of unchasts ideas
