beseiged the doorway, went up deafenlng
cheer for Chatharine Bogart and Theodore
Traxton.
Catharlne, overcome with joy9fel back into
her mothers arms, while the minister respect
fully retired, and was borne off on the shoulders
of the multitude.
That very night the decision of the court was
given in favor of the defendent; and in til
evening, Mr.. Traxton, having patronised to
some extent both barber and tailor, mad
his appearance among the hiends who caIleI
to congratulate Mrs. Bogart, and related h.
history for the satisfaction of all.
fthis We can give only brief outline. TIE
Williams employed by Bogart, in their contempy
for the physical powers of clergymen in gem
raj, had thought to down Theodore too easilj
He, on the contrary, unwilling to give up his
life without a struggle, made an almost super
human effort, and freed himself from the stone,
which had been lashed to his body. Still not
being much of swimmer, and the current
being strong, he might have gone down to rise
no more, had rot the trunk of floating tree
approximately come in his way.
Thus Theodore was saved from drowning but
series of disasters was before him, which he
little dreamed. A party Of three savages who
were crossing the river in a canoe, discovered
him, as he toated down on the tree-trunk, cap
tured him, and carried him away. In few
hours, the Indian scouts came up with large
war party, by whom Theodore was retained as
a prisoner, and taken into their own country
AS a full account of his adventures would
lengthen out this story indefinitely, I will only
add that he had but lately made his escape,
through the assistance of some trappers, who
had penetrated the Indian territory for furs.
And in conclusion it may be well to state
that Theodore Traxton loving Catharine no less
for what she had suffered, and she, loving him O
more, for what be had suffered, they were
married after the lapse of a few months; and,
both having enough of the "wId west" they
disposed of asportion Of their estates, and re-
turned to the land of their puritan fathers.
THE GYps1Es.-For the benefit Of those Of
our readers who are inclined to take sly peep
into the hidden mysteries, of futurity,w would
state that an opportunity now offers for the full
qualification Of that desire, as Sarah Lee, 1.-The
seventh daughter of the seventh generaton,'
has arrived, and opened for ga few days only
on Smiths creek. Sarah is evidently an artistic
of the first water, and considering the fact that
she travels mot to obtain money, but to benefit
mankind" which is very probable, and OF
course highly commendable, her presence Oh
the classic shores of the creek cannot but be
hailed with delight by the curious in such mat
ters. Such claims to be of Egyptian descent,
but her appearance points to nativity which
has been immortalized by the poet as ''ye banks
and bracs O. bonnie Doom She honored our
Office with visit, told our devils fortune, and
the following is her card:
EGYPT1AL GYPsY,-Sarah Lee, the seventh
daughter of the seventh generation, will cure
different diseases by charms, as well as telling
fortunes. Anything that is done By any chris
tlan, such as putting on spells, or other things,
i can take off or cure. Its not done by learn
ing, but by gift. She challenges any one iii
America, or the world to compete with her.
To let the public know that | am no impos-
tor, would say that am from Egypt, and
can give evidence of my parentage to any one
who may desire it. My object in travelling is
not to obtain money, but to benefit mankind,
and my charges are merely to pay expenses. I
do not tell by cards or tea cup tossing, as that
is chance; but tell the past as well as the fu-
ture, in the life Of all, from birth upwards. No
fortune is told in the presence of a third person.
All disclosures are strictly private aud conf
DENTAL.
Persons calling at the tent, will ask for Sarah
Lee, who vouches for giving satisfaction.

| PERILoUs Position OF TWO BoYs.-We learn
(says the Cincinnati Gazette) by passenger
over the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, that on
Friday afternoon there was a balloon ascension
from the Illinois State fair grounds, at Cen
traIla. The mrOnaut assembled at 4 o'clock p.
M, and at o'clock descended about 10 miles
southeast of Centralia and fastened his bal
loon to a fence, went into house near by fol
refreshments. While be was eating, two boys,
one 8 years old ard the other years old, co.
into the car Of the balloon and unfastened tbs
rope. The balloon assembled rapidly, and when
our informant left, nothing had been heard
from the young adventures.
This singular story is confirmed by the Lou
isyi5le Journal Of the 21st ult which SAYS:
''Wewer inclined to doubt the above story;
but Mr.. Mullen, of the John Gault who arrv-
ed last night from Cairo and passed through
Centralia, confirms it, and brings the welcome
intelligence Of the safety of the children. The
oldest of the children was a girl. 1t appears
that the affair caused the most tremendous ex
element, and hundreds turned out and follow
supposed that it went up two miles. On Sun
day morning. a farmer, who resided some 10
miles from CenraIia, discovered the balloon in
a tree where it had caught and the children in
it. He Immediately climbed up on it, and found
the little boy asleep, the girl having taken off
her apron and wrapped it around him to keep
him warm. Neither Of them seemed alarmed
or if they had been. they had got over it, and
were perfectly composed He brought the
children and The balloon dc5vn and conveyed
them home.''
A few weeks since. in the neighborhood of
ST. Barnabas, a lover conducted his intended
bride to the altar. The marriage ceremony
proceeded with regularity until the fair one
was asked the question, "Wt thou have this
man for thy welded husband?" To which,
with much apparent sincerity, she replied, 'Non
The poor bridegroom gazed upon her with pro

induce her to alter her resolution. She frank
