THs SoUrHwIOK (CoEE.) TRAeEDY.--Al
though Mrs. HolComb is still alive, but lit
tie hope is entertained of her recovery. Mr.
Holcomb has voluntarily returned, and is
now under arrest. There seems to have
been no conscience in Mr.. Holcomb's strange
return, after having substantially accom-
plished his escape-no strong acknowledge
ment Of guilt which for bis own peace OF
mind demanded punishment He says he
shall not plead guilty to anything, but if
proved such, will stand tine consequences. -
He maintains to outward ppearenees su-
preme indifference, keeping silence on the
subject of his crime, but entering freely an /
auently into conversation upon other topics.

CARLISLE, Pa, Nov 90.
The false reports sent from here in rela.
ton to pretended emcute among the stu,
dents Of Dickinson College being calculated
to iDjure the prospects Of the institution
and distress its friendu, repeat my former
assurance that there is no rebellion here.
neither has there been. The affairs OF the
College are moving on with their usual qniet
order. The only thing out Of which these
reports could be fabricated is that the facul.
~ had for good cause suspended four mem.
1erS Of the senior class until Christmas. -
The affair crestcd temporary efervescence,
AZ such things often do, aud perhaps some
turbulent persons tried 70 stir up rebellion,
but the good sense Of the students was too
strong for them Things have gone on With
out the interruption Of single recitation.
The truth is, these dispatches are a trick BY
which malconfcnt students seek 10 vent
their spite against the faculty, and The an-
thor has committed grave wrong which
carnot be allowed to pass by without notice

An ELOQUENT Extract.

Generation after generation, says fine
writer, have felt as We feel, and their
lives were as active as our own. They
passed away like vapor, while Nature
wore the same aspect Of beauty as when
her creator commanded her to be. The
heavens shall be as bright over our graves
as they are now around our paths. The
world will have the attractions for our off
springs yet unborn that she had once for
ourselves, and that she now has for our
children. Yet little while and all this
will have happened. The throbbing heart
will be stilled, and we shall be at rest
Our funeral will wind its way, and the
prayers will be said, and our friends will
all return, and we shall be left behind in
silence and darkness for the worm. And
It may be for a short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things of life will
creep in, and our names will soon be for
gotten. Days will continue to move on,
and laughter and song will be heard in
the room in which we died and the eye
that mourned for US will be dried; and
glisten again with joy; and even our
children will cease to think Of US, and
will not remember to lisp our names.-
Then shall we have become, in the touch
ing language of the Psalmist, forgotten
and clean gone out of mind"

A DOg.StOry for the HOIler-Days.

The residents of North Water street,
Geneva, n. Y, were afforded no little
amusement few days since, by the incl
dents narrated 10 us in substance as fol-
lows:
A countryman, the owner of a large
but usually good-natured dog, drove in
town on the day stated. Near the rail-
road crossing on Water street, "Tigern
fell into bad company, and Irregular muss
ensued. Taken suddenly, and almost un-
awares, the countryman's dog seemed
hardly to comprehend whether il was
"free fight" in earnest, or only the rough
sort of play of village ''hounds," until he
fourd himself in a "throat to mouth" con-
test with a regular fighting character, in
the shape of trained bulldog, and get
ting the worst Of it. His master, howev-
er, by this time comprehended the nature
of the muss, and springing from his wa
gon, caught the bulldog by his "narra-
tive" and endeavored to separate the com.
batants.
"Let that dog alone or I'll lam you oy-
er the head % growled a rough and excl
ted looking customer standing by, who
proved to be the owner of the bull.
"Oh, then, you want 'em to fight, do
yea" CALCULATED homespun, dropping the
end; and then, at the top of his voice,
shouted, $50 in Tige ~
And Tige did ego in" Instantly the
tide of battle was turned. Tige secured
and was making good use of his vantage
ground, when BULLS owner suddenly be-
come converted to a peacemaker. Suiting
the action to the idea, he made feint to
release his dog from the vice-like jaws of
Tiger.
"Let that dog alone, or I'll lam you
over the head ~ shouted the countryman;
and he straigtened up and swelled out to
such huge proportions that "Rock-street"
desisted terror-stricken at the menace.
Tiger pursued his work in hand until
the piteous "ky-yi" of his assailant
seemed to produce pity in the dogs heart
of the former, for he relaxed his hold and
the latter skunk away, with the appear
ance Of three legs behind.
AS the Countryman jumped into his wa
gonhe called out to bulldogs master,-
Whenever you want another fight, just
say the word, as me and Tige alters ira
vel together"

Deal Gently.

We pity the man or the woman who
having been stunned by great misfor-
tune staggers forth into the world unaided
by any friendly arm, striving courageous
ly to bear up without the sympathy which
no human being can long exist and dis
pense with, and yet cut off from seeking
it, or even accepting it, should it come in
their way, because explanation or confess
sion would involve a sacrlligious invasion
of the hearts history. They only who
have waded through deep waters of trou-
BILE, alone know from the deprivation of
it the might of human sympathy to roll
off the surging pillows. But pent up
tears, suppressed groans, fettered ton
que, throbbing heart with ever an iron
hand upon it, God pity such, for He alone
knows what they suffer. And so, if we
hear a petulant word-or look upon an
unsmiling face, or meet no grand response
to our wayside mirth-let us not condemn
nor measure grudgingly our kindness even
to such. Every heart knoweth its own
bitterness, and we may all unconsciously,
in our thoughtlessness, have ridden rough
shod over some PROSTATE sufferer.

Falling in Love with a Picture on a
Bank Note.

An ardent young man IN this city, says
the Springfield Republican, who fell in
love some time since with the portrait of
a woman on bank bill, wrote to the CASH
ier of the bank to know whether it was a
fanciful picture, or "the representation of
a breathing woman" IF the latter, he
was resolved to have her or die in the at
tempt. The cashier replied TO him after
few days delay, which be hoped had
not "tended unduly to aggravate the
ferceness of his disorder" thus;
II am unable to give you the abundant
consolation of letter of introduction to
the original of the portrait, if it had an
original, which am not disposed to ques-
ton. My knowledge of her is quite scan
ty and unsatisfactory. The story told by
our engravers is, that she was a teacher
in the - school house in New York at
the time of that cruel disaster a few years
ago, when, upon false alarm Of fire, the
children rushed down the stairway, which
gave way, causing the death of a large
number of the 'innocents.' Our heroine
is said to have saved all her pupils by that
presence of mind that shines in her face,
and to have then leaped from third-story
window. Whether in so doing she broke
both her legs, irreparably damaged her
lovely nose, and forever dimmed one Ius-
trous eye, l am not told. My own belief
is that she came out unscathed and un-
harmed, and at once proceeded TO Bradys
who photographed her, and thus gave her
unparalleled lineaments to Immortality OF
bank note. / am further inclined TO the
notion that shortly thereafter she married
to the man Of her CHOICE (she never
would do anything else, and is now the
happy mother of four small children and
one at the breast. Of course you II take
no stock in this theory of mine, and if you
are bent on further investigation, l can
only refer you to our engravers, who can
possibly put you on the track, Go in and
win, and be sure in such happy consum-
nation to ask me to be there If it calls
me to Kamschatka l shall surely obey
indeed, were not sufficiently blessed in
the woman line, you would have received
no reply at all to your inquiries. ''-&c.
We have been looking for a coroner's
case of the dead body of an interesting
young man-''found drowned ;" but be-
ing disappointed thus far, have concluded
that our hero proposes to find consolation
by joining in the sack race, or the strife
for the CREASED pig on Hempden Park
next Monday.
