Miraculous Occurrence,

One of the most singular circumstances that
has ever come to our knowledge, was related
to us yesterday by gentleman of this city,
whose vcracity cannot be doubted, and who has
but recently returned from Lagrange, Missouri,
where the affair which we are about to disclose
occurred.
On last Saturday, a stranger made his ap-
pearance in Lagrange, and after making unsuc-
cessful efforts to obtain employment, he re-
solved TO commit suicide. Obtaining pistol
he placed the muzzle to his head, and dis
CHARGED the contents into his brain. Upon ex-
animation by competent surgeon, 1t was as
certaned that the ball passed through the skull
between the eyes, and lodged in the back part
of the head. Part of the brain was scattered
over the front of his hat. He was conveyed
into the office of Mr.. Gannt, of that city,
nephew of Thos r. Gannt, ESQ.,, of ST. Louis,
and medical aid quickly called TO the assistance
of the sufferer.
After living in an insensbe condition during
day, he recovered sufficiently to give the par-
ticu.ars which led TO the commission OF the act.
He pave his name as - Brown, and claimed
TO be q native of Memphis, Tenn. Being poor
and frendess, he had not eaten anything since
he left Cairo, day or two previous. Dlscour-
AGED at not receiving employment, and too
proud to beg, ne Determined 70 pldCe hl'nseH
beyond the pale of physical want, and shot HIM
self as above stated, and now comes the mos
singular portion of this most extraordinary at
fair. Notwithstanding loss of a portion o
the brain and the perforaton of the skull, b!
the bullet, Mr.. Brown is in a rapid way of re
coyery. On Thursday he was able TO sit u
in bed and converse nteliigentiy with all VIII
called upon him. There is no doubt OF th
| truthfuness of the statement, and the case
one of those wonderful instances that are OC
casionally recorded, where parties have re
covered from the effects of wounds in thos
parts of the system which, under almost an
circumstance, it has been considered certal
and immediate death to disturb The affair ha
excited the earnest attention of the medic'
profession, n,-iSt. Louis Dem,

Terrible Story of Murder and Suicide.

On Monday night, the 9th instant. Mrs. Will
lIams, the wife of Benjamin Williams, a veal
thy farmer living in Pttsfield, Lorain CO., Ohio
hung herdaughter-a deafand dumb girl, about
twelve years of age-and afterward hung her.
self. Mrs. Williams had some time ago COM
menced an action against her husband for di.
vorce. and the case had been settled and the
suit withdrawn on the same day of the murder
and suicide. The ground of the application
tor divorce was neglect of duty, and the sym
pathy of an entire neghborhood was with her,
as her husband, Benjamin Williams, is shift
less, disspated man.
Mrs. Williams was woman respected by all
who knew her, but on the Monday referred to,
charges OF gross immortality were made against
her, and witnesses were said to be ready to
prove them, and the nature of such charges
were, if proved against her, such as to defeat
her application for divorce. Under this state of
things she withdrew her divorce case, rcceiv-
ing from Williams $40 of money, a promise of
$460 more, and deed for sixty acres of land
for the benefit of the deaf and dumb girl. This
deed was drawn, but remained in the hands of
Williams lawyer The belief of the neigh
borS now is, that Mrs. Williams was the victim
OF conspiracy, and after she had settled the
suit, her agony of mind at the position she was
placed IN drove her 10 the preparation Of the
terrible deed.
The body of the deaf and dumb daughter was
found hanging by the neck, and the feet tied to
The rounds of chair; if her feet had been
free, they would have touched the floor. Mrs.
Williams used a sheet for the purpose, tearing
1t in two, hanging the daughter with one hall
and herself with the other half A neighbor
saw Mrs. Williams early in the morning, hang
ing dead at the corner ofthe house. The fam-
ly with whom Mrs Williams was living were
all away from home, except a child of perhaps
four or five years. This child says that in the
night she got up and saw the deaf and dumb
girl "a swinging in the back room," that Mrs.
Williams took the deaf and dumb girl down,
and put her in bed with this little child, and that
the deaf and dumb girl " felt cod.'' This, of
course, is a child'S story, but it is supposed that
perhaps Mrs. Williams did take the body down
and put it in the child's bed, so as to induce the
child TO go TO sleep.

shouted the landlord, as the minute hand arri-
we'd at the desired point.
The barber arrived; he was naturally talka-
tive man, and when the doctor made some cas-
nal remark, rejecting upon the quality of the
instrument he Was about to use, he replied
"Ah, ha! Monsieur, you say yer bad to ra-
2or-tes h-look-look-very fine,

" Here she goes, there she gees!'' screamed
the landlord, his hand waving On--his face
gaheringa smile, and his whole frame in readi-
ness to be convulsed with joy.
The barber was amazed. "Here she goes,
there she goes!" he responded, in the best Eng.
ish he could use. "Vare ware shall begin =!
Vat his dat he say!
Shave his head at once!" interrupted the
doctor, while the lady sank into chair.
Here she goes, there she goes - for the
last time cried the landlord, as the clock struck
The hour Of nine, and he sprang from his seat
IN an ecstacy OF delight, screaming at the top
OF his voice, as he skipped about the room
"Pve Won it?--I've won it!''
"What?" said the waiter.
"What?" echoed the doctors.
"What?" re-echoed the wife.
Why, the wager-ten pounds ~ But cast
ing his eyes around the room, and missing the
oung men who induced him to watch the
clock, he asked
"Where are these young men who supped
here last night! ELI ! quick--where are they :"
"They went away in their phnton nearly an
hour ago, sir y was the reply of the waiter.
The truth flashed like a thunderbolt through
his mnd. They had taken his pocket-book
with w ~cnty-one pounds therein, and decamped
"a couple of swindling sharpers, with wit to

Too Good to Lose.

Several days ago a wel-dresscd scamp got
upon the cars at Chattanooga, and by some
means escaped the vigilance of the conductor
until he reached Huntsville. Here conductors
changed, and Mr.. Fowler took charge Of the
train, and in making his first round to collect
tickets between Madison and Huntsville, he
found the door Of one of the private saloons
fastened. The brakeman assured him there
was man in the saloon, and without suspec {.
ting foul play, he told the brakeman TO point
out the man to him when he came out, so that
he might collect his ticket. Fowler had no
sooner made his round than out came the gen.
tleman thinking all was safe. When lie took
his scat in the car, he removed his hat from his
head, and put it under his seat. When called
upon for his ticket, remarked that while in the
saloon, he poked his head out of the window to
breathe fresh air, and was so unfortunate as to
lose his hat, with his ticket i'll the band, and he
could not think Of paying twice.
The conductor told him he regretted the cir.
cumstance very much, but, as it was one for
which the railroad company was not TO blame,
he would be compelled to make him pay again
or else make him leave the train at Madison
station. The scamp was indignant-Fowles
demonstrated in his usual polite, but firm way,
until the station was reached when he inform
ed him that he was at the end of his rope, and
leave the cars he must. Finding that there was
no backing down, he reached under his seat
drew out his hat and started to leave the cars,
when Fowler told him he would have to exer-
else his duty as conductor again-and that the
fact of his having lost his own, did not entitle
him to take a fellow travellers hat--for that
the company would be responsible. Whereupon
he took charge of the hat, and showed the gem
