One of the most interesting suits of its
class, that has been tried in many years in
the Licking County Common Pleas. was a
case of breach of marriage promise that
was heard by Judge Sample on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week. The par
ties were of Pennsylvania German descent,
and their families reside in Etna township
in this county. The young woman's name
was Goss-the mans name was smook, the
latter being the son of substantial old
farmer, who is said to be worth enough to
start half dozen children each with the
snug sum of six or eight thousand dollars.
Miss Goss and young Smook, as appeared
by the testimony, had been betrothed for
many years, and their fidelity to each other
had been more than ordinary. Following
an old custom now almost reversed in prac
tice, neither the young man nor the young
woman sought or accepted the company of
the opposite sex without first ascertaining
that it was approved. Things existed in
this way for years. The match seemed to
be, in fact, as completely lore affair as
could well be imagined. At last for some
unknown reason, and withou. notice, the
young man dropped Miss Goss and was
welded to another. On this breach Of
long plighted faith, suit for damages
was Instituted. Messrs. Charles Follett
and James K. Stanberry had in charge the
interests of the fair claimant. Messrs. Case
and Brumback bad the task of defending
the faithless lover. Verdict for plaintiff

The North Iowa Times contains let
ter from lady-a sister of Lydia H. ST.
gourney- commenting upon an editorial
in that paper in relation to the killing of
Key, in which it was said that "Sickles
could not have lived had he not have ia.
ken vengeance on the willy scoundrel who
had robbed him of bis position, and dis
graced bis name." His correspondent had
supposed that mans virtue was inhe-
rent, part ol his nature, and not simply
reflection of the virtue of his wife,
But she infers from the editorial alluded
to, that swhen Mr.. Sickles went to Con-
gress, Lis position, his honor, depended on
the chaste behavior of Mrs. Sickles, his
wife, and she an italian at that! The
beautiful woman, captivated by The graces
of handsomer man than her husband,
sins. is discovered, and exposed; and Mr..
S., the only innocent person in the affair,
shoots Mr.. Key, not for betraying his wife,
but for jishonoring him." This she pro-
nounces "egregious selfishnass," and con-
tinues as follows:
alt is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted. Women survive these disa-
greeabIe developments every day. If MIR.
Sckles had hired this assignation house
and met Mrs. Swizzles, do you think Mrs.
Sekles would have gone out to shoot the
faithless crinoline who had stolen her hus-
band? No sir! Women do no such fool
ish things; and why? Because, if we are
virtuous we have confidence in our virtue,
and we feel that no dereliction of the hus-
band can or ought to affect the virtue of a
wife. But suppose on fine Sabbath morn
ing all the women in Washington who sus-
pect their truant lords should sally out,
''swords and pistols by their Sides" to cbas-
tise the creatures who had stolen their af-
feetions, would not this mark an interest
ing epoch in history?"
The following shows what woman
thinks of mans courage:
sand yet this man, who could not meet
the hollow shells of humanity, that form
ed his society at Washington until be had
vindieatiug his honor, must now meet the
multitudes at his trial-hear the coarse
jeerings of unprincipled lbertines-con-
front this wife, who he magnanimouslv
promised "not to injure"-hear again and
again, with exaggeration and minutia, the
whole history of his misery revived-meet
the wondering looks of his little one, turn
ing from father to mother for an explana-
tion of this mystery, and in after years be
tortured by her recurrence to the first chap
ter Of her life's realty! If he can do all
this and dare to meet his Maker at last,
with the brand of murderer on his soul,
and yet could not meet the low-faeed,
mustached puppies of his club room, tell
me in Gods name, in what consists the su-
perior courage of manhood?"

A NAN CowH1pED BY A WoMAN.-A

A MAN CowHIDED BY A WoMAN-A
rich eowhiding affair occurred at Mauphin,
Pa, yesterday afternoon, which caused
such commotion in that little village,
among men, women and children, as was
never witnessed there before The partic-
ulars of the affair, as furnished US by gen.
tleman who was present, are about as fol-
lows Mr.. Joseph Corbett, of that place,
was one of the principle witnesses this
week, in the cnse of the Commonwealth
VS.. Alexander Dasher, tried for fornication.
II seems that Corbett testified to having
seen Dasher and one Emma Geistwite
alias Bradigan together frequently. by day
and by night, under exceedingly suspicious
circumstances. On his return to Dauphin,
yesterday, he was sent for by Emma, and
responding to the summons, repaired to her
residence. She met him at the door with
the remark, "Well, you saw me after night
with Dasher, did you! You now see me
by daylight, you lying scoundrel," and
seizing him by the throat with one hand
the infuriated woman proceeded to chastise
him with cowhide which she held in the
other. Although he was large and stout
man he was perfectly helpless in the hands
of Emma, who is said to be a woman of
great muscular power; he was obliged to
submit to the castigation, enduring it like
a martyr. Corbett subsequently proceed

Is the World a Mistakes

One of the saddest mistakes which good
people have made is in supposing the
world to be a mistake. To these people
and their number is not small-the
earth is but theater of pain and sickness,
sorrow and death. Joy is Elusive, pleas
ure cheat, laughter mockery, and hap
piness thing impossible, and not even to
be looked for on this side of the grare.-
The performance of all days is the taking
up" of what they call "a cross" They
are actually afraid TO be happy, under an
overshadowing impression that they have
no right to be happy in this life. They
believe that there is something intrinsical-
ly bad in the world they inhabit, and all
the JOY that proceeds from it. They have
an idea that the moral evil which af1icts
the human race has struck in. All the
suferings of the brute creation-thsir
thrces of labor, and sickness of body, and
pains of death-are so many voices pro-
claiming the fatal failure of Adam. HUI
man nature itself is an awful thing. God
is great law giver, an insxplorable aveng.
er, an awful Judge. Being to be feared
more than loved. Life is trial-seyere.
unrslenting, perpetual. All that seems
good and graceful and glorious in the
world is a hollow sham, for the deception
of the unwary and the ruin Of the unwiss.

From the Nashville (Tenn.) Baaner.
A Female Sicklea.


Some three months ago family resid-
ing in the southern portion of this fair city
OF ours had occasion to "send east"-as
merchants do for spring goods--for young
northern GIL with whop, they were ac-
quainted, to take charge of the housekeep-
ing and juvenile department of the house
hold e., to wash up sundry pieces of
tarnish crockery and sspank up sundry
specimens of refractory and rebellious
Young America, when occasion should re
quire.
"Fair Down East" came far down south
was received, and duly initiated into the
mysteries of her new office, and for the
first two weeks gave every satisfaction, uu-
til, alasl her roguish eyes and winning
voice began to tell upon the head of the
family with whom she is engaged, Alas
for the Inconsistency of man, that marriage
vows should be SO soon forgottenl The
loving glances that were wont to be shot
across the table to the spot where the tea
pot simmered were now directed askant
and stealthily toward the side seat occupied
by "our Mary Ann" The quiet mistress
of the house-the deity that presided over
the teacups at meal times-observed these
little interchanges of recognition, but said
nothing; until one day, having occasion to
60 out shopping, she took it in to her head
to return rather suddenly, and, to her ut
ter astonishment, observed through crew
ice in the hall door, as she swept along,
her liege lord sitting on sofa and clasp
ing the hand of the faithless Mary Ann,
who, with blushing cheeks and down cast
eyelashes, was listening to most passion
ate appeal, delivered in tone almost in
audible in its gentle softness.
Her mind was made up instantly as to
what eoure to pursue-for she was a de-
termined wsman. She made three springs
and cleared the steps-reached her cham
Der, and took from the mantle terrible
instrument of torture, manufactured from
raw-hide and sold by the yard at ten cents
each; then she erept down the staircase
with the stealthiness of cat, but it was
with the feroeity of tigress that she
sprang into the room and pounced. upon
the unsuspeeting culprits, to both of whom
she administered a mereiless dose of cow
hide, which completely scattered and con-
fused the enemy.
The rest of the story is soon told. "0ur
Mary Ann" is by this time speeding on
ward to her northern home as fast as a
Pittsburgh packet can bear her, while the
aD1orous husband of our Sickles heroine
now works in harness as quietly and docile
as ever.

~ The Omaha Nebraskian of April
10 says that one hundred wagons left for
Cherry Creek on Tuesday morning, an
equal number on Wednesday, and on
Thursday two hundred and thirty one
camps were remaining. The Ne6raskian
adds:
"Their numbers have been augmented
every hour during daylight, since. About
seventy. five wagons started out yesterday,
nearly the same number to-day, and Mon
day next will witness the departure of more
than have started any one day yet. All
with whom we have cony ersed concur in
stating that not one hundredth part of the
emigration that is coming has started, and
that thousands will be here in the course
of the next three weeks. OF the emigrants
mentioned above, we should think nine
tenths were from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan and Eastern Iowa. They are
just the men to develop BY patient industry
the vast resources of the Rocky Mountain
range"
The St. Louis Republican, on the other
hand, has additional correspondence by the
Utah mail, dated Cottonwood Springs,
2sth, giving disheartening account of the
Pixies Peak emigration. Large numbers
of disappointed gold seekers were coming
back, wholly destitute of money and provi-
sions. They were in squads of dozens and
scores, besetting the mail stations, and
begging for food and shelter from the Sc
we're storms of the plains. The station
keepers we're extending what aid they could
but had not enough for other crowds COM
ing on behind. No acts Of violence had
been committed, but it was feared that the
desperation of want would lead them to at
tack and plumber outgoing trains.

TarrIns and Featherins near
ST LnniS

The St. Louis News has an article chron-
icling the punishment bestowed on a man
named Holcom for having insulted the
wife of his partner in business. the
NeOs says:
The circumstances under which it was
done, and the results that attended it were
of such character as 10 make the crime
peculiarly and insuferably atrocious. New
ertheless, the wronged husband, who is a
respected citizen and a Christian, content
ed himself with merely driving Holcom
from his shop, with the understanding that
he must leave the city and vicinity. But
Holcom, presuming on the good nature of
the man he had wronged, only went TO
the country and got work near HARDWOOD.
Yesterday, therefore, the wronged husband,
accompanied by four friends, and provided
with keg of tar and bag of feathers,
repaired to the place where he was at work,
and after lively race of quarter of a
mile, captured the culprit, who exhibited,
in the race, an agility that would make his
fortune as an acrobat. When he saw the
crowd coming, he thought they were going
to kill him, and jumping out of second
story window, broke off like aquarter horse.
His pursuers, however, were too many for
him, and after hard run he was overhauled.
He cried manfully, and begged hard for
his life, which his captors had no idea of
taking. But they stripped him to his
waist, covered his mead, face, shoulders and
chest with liberal coating of tar, added
"smart sprinkling' of feathers, and
turned him loose, with the command to
leave the State within twenty-four hours.
He promised faithfully to emigrate, and
has not appeared in public since.

To those of our readers who are subject
to Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Remit

Substitute for Quinine, for so many cures by
its use have come under our own observa-
ton that we know how excellent it is.
This Substitute does not contain Quinine,
Opium, Morphine, or Arsenic, while it pos
sesses all the advantages of these medicines,
with none of their injurious effects. In q
pamphlet, before us, we find certificates
invalid, which al bear testimony to its ex-
cellence. Let our readers send for cireu-
