of singular tragedy in New Sharon, Me-, to which
allusion has before been made:
''In the town of New Sharon, Me- few nights
since, two brothers by the name of Weltch, living
quite alone, asked by stranger Inequalities
for the night; he stated he was drover, and made
some conversation about stock in which the broth
ers We're interested. One of them had retired for
the night the other, upon turning for the purpose
OF making fire to cook meal for the stranger,
was fired upon by him, received three shots and fell
The other brother hearing the noise came out from
his room with stout club, which he found handy,
and Immediately commenced a fierce attack upon
the rutfian. He received the three remaining
shots of revolver unheeded, and was rapidly get
ting the advantage of his opponent when the door
was suddenly opened and the fellow was pulled out
by unseen hands, and escaped. Mr.. Weltch is a
powerfully built man, and was an adept in the art
of fencing, and adrot in the use OF his club He
served several years in the navy. The pistol was
shivered in pieces. Some arrest have been made
one of which is said to be prominent citizen OF

CROOKED Notwithstanding OF
the Rio Grande, Il writer says:-Imag-
inc one. of the crookedest things IN the
s'orld, then imagine four more twice
as crooked, and imagine to yourself a
large river three times as crooked as
ali these put together, and you have a
faint idea Of the crooked disposition OF
this crooked river. There is no drift
wood in it, from the fact that timber
cannot find its way down far enough to
lodge two sticks together; but few
snakes, because it is not straight enough
to swim in; and the fish are all in whirl-
pools in the bends, because they can
not find their way out. Birds frequent
ly attempt to fly across the river, but
light on the same side they start from
being deceived by the crooks. In
deed, you may be deceived when you
think you see across it; and some Of
the b'hoys say it is so twisting there is
but one side. to il.
