THE GALENA KIns4rRING. published few
days ago paragraph stating that mulatto man
and bis family had been kidnapped from Galena,
ILL.,, and that circumstances led to the belief that
the man had been murdered. Galena paper
gives the following account Of the affair:
On the 9th of September last man who gave
his name $50 Wilder, representing himself as the
agent of parties in Canada came to Galena to hire
men ana women to work on a farm and in hotel
in Southern Iowa, expressing his preference for
colored persons. He succeeded in engaging Boyd,
free muatto, his wife, colored girl IA years old,
and the party took with them a small white child
2 or 8 years old. On the 3Gth of September they
were seen in johnson county, Iowa. They then
had q two-horse team and wagon covered with
oil cloth. On that day they left Solon, in that
county, by neighborhood road; but in an hour or
two returned to the main road. On the Sd Of 0cto-
ber, boy passing near that place saw man lying
drunk, passed on. On the 9th another boy dis
covered the same man, and went to him and found
him dead. a jury was called, and it was found
that he had been murdered and such testimony
waa developed as to show that there is no reason
able doubt that the deceased was the unfortunate
man Boyd.
Boyd had lived in Galena fifteen or twenty years,
and il known to have been ree as is his wife also
but the circumstances attending his departure from
Galena leave no other belief than that he was
enticed away with the intention of ensaving him,
and that becoming suspicious of the intentions Of
his employer, he was put to death to make sure OF
tho others of the party.

s REMARKABLE PHENOMENON N THE EAST INDI
AZ foreign journal furnishes the following:


On the l4th of July, at 3 o'clock r. NJ, the in
habitants of Dhnrmsalah, about twelve miles to
the gouth of the granite peaks Of the phaoladhar
Mountains, were startled by the noise Of most
terrific explosion, which lasted about three min
utes, and almost persuaded the hearers that the
whole of that magnificent range was falling down.
The solitary cloud that visible had settled upon
the highest peak, and from that direction some
thing was whizzng through the air 90 near the
earth that all hands were inVoluntarily raised to
shield their heads An instant after, huge black
mass was seen to fall in the direction of its PATH
about q mile away. The spot was at once visited,
and an immense block, apparently granite, covered
over with pitehy substance, had buried itself
three feet and half into the ground. When dug
out 1t was found of an ley eoldness SO that pieces
broken from 1t could not be held in the hand.
Two smaller pieces OF the same kind fell within two
miles Of it. The structure of the granite cores
ponds exactly with that Of the mountains, and as
they are covered with perpetual snow, the icy

A Fierce Eagle,

The Stockton (Cal) Argus says: We noticed
yestsrday young eagle brought to the city and
offered for sale. He was fine looking bird, about
three months old measuring seven feet eight inches
from tip to tip. He was sold into captivity on ac-
count Of bad conduct, He was taken from the nest
some three months since by MIR. Hanscomb, who
resides about fourteen miles from the city. He
was then quite young, being covered with down.
As be increased in size, he was sufficiently tame to
be handled, and come when called, and he was
allowed the liberty of coming and going at his
soaring out of sight and being gone several hours
at d time. Lately, however, having been plagued
by the men on the range, he had become fierce,
and clubs at times resorted to to keep him at
q distance.
Yesterday morning, lad aged thirteen years
enticed the eagle from a tree, holding up piece
of meat. The bird descended with such swiftness
that he frightened the boy, who dropped the meat,
when the eagle made fight at him. The youngster
started and fell. The bird hoyered near him,
elutching at him with his talons, but appeared
afraid to seize him on account of the boy knocking
his feet necessarily at him. Mr. Hanscomb, hear
ing the noise, rushed to the rescue, and seized the
eagle by the tip of the wing and commenced whirl-
Of the bird against tree until he partially stunned
him, when the boy caught hold of the other wing,
and keeping the wings extended, was safe from the
attacks Of the bird. A third person was then
called to their assistance, who threw moose over
the eagles head, and then succeeded in tying his
legs, making him safely prisoner. Mr.. Hanscomb
thinks that the boy would have been oyerpowered
by the eagle had he not come to the rescue in
time, and he sincerely wished himself and the boy
out Of the afffay while making so many unsuceess-
ful efforts to stun the bird against q tree.

The weather is now delightful for our planters,
and nearly all of them are grinding, though we
hear of some who have stopped to winrow, for
fear of freeze The first frost here occurred, we
think, last Sunday, and we have had two or three
since then.
We learn that one Of the slaves of G. & r.
Schaltre attacked the engineer, we believe he was
for some slight cause, with cane knife, and cut
and chipped his skull in dreadful manner though
we believe he is yet alive
John b. Craighead, Jr., committed snicide last
Sunday morning on the plantation few miles be-
low this town, Of which he was part owner, by
blowing his brains out with shot gun. He slept
at the sugar house last night, and next morning,
Sunday he arose little before and went to where
the kettles were boiling and in his usual manner
gave some orders about skimming, etc. He then
took his gun and went out as the servants thought
to shoot birds. Soon they heard report, but paid
no attention to it. A short time afterwards, how
ever, he was observed laying behind the sugar
house, dead, with every evidence to prove that he
had committed the desperate act of selfdestruc-
ton by holding the muzzle of the gun to his right
eye and pushing the trigger back with stick. No
reason can be assigned for this dreadful act He
ever appeared light-hearted and cheerful, and had
ALL one would think, to make life desirable-youth
