An old man residing in that neighborhood,

A MAN LOST NINE DAYs In THE WOops WITH.
OFT FooD-Scme particulars Of terrible case
of protracted wandering and hunger, occasioned
by being lost in the woods, have just been related
to us by unquestionab'e authority. They relate
to the wandering of Mr.. Emil Schober for nine
days in the wilderness Of Northern Michigan
without food, save such roots and barks a. could
he found at this season of the year.
Mr. Schober purchased farm, or tract of wild
land. in town l6, Of range Is east, in the county
OF Huron, some months ago, and early in the
spring went up to it for the purpose Of clearing
and preparing it for cultivation. He left his IA
mily liz this city. On the l4th inst, some of his
cattle were missing, and he started out in search
of them, neglecting to take with him q compass,
probably thinking that he should fluid the animals
within short distance But in this he was dis
appointed, and hight approaching before he had
accomplished his mission, he became bewildered
in the gathering darkness and wholly lost his
reckonings His efforts to And his way back to
his location only drove him deeper into the
bOundless forest. With no compass to guide him.
no path to follow, or even the blazed trees that
appear in the more settled regions, his case was
really hopeless one.
At night he WIS missed from his location and
q search was instituted for him, which was not
allowed to be suspended during all the time Of
his absence. The news OF his loss was commu-
mcated TO other settlements, and oil through the
forest, wherever a human habitation existed,
word was sent, and efforts put forth to find the
unfortunate wanderer. But these efforts were
all Of no avail until last Sunday, when he was
discovered about two miles from settlement
called Sand Beach, on the shore Of Lake Huron.
Thus for nine days he had been in the woods
wholly ignorant of his locality, aud endeavoring
to find some opening or traces Of civilization :.
During this time he had subsisted on roots and
the barks Of trees, and when discovered was very
much reduced and emaciated. He was kindly
provided for by the settlers at Sand Beach, the
last Information stating that he would be able to
return to his clearing in a few days. Though he
had kept in motion during the greater part of
the time he was lost, he had wandered only about
twenty miles away from where he started. In
formation OF his recovery was conveyed to his
family in this city yesterday, and produced a thrill
of Joy that can only be appreciated by those who
have been similarly situated.

anu tllcir friends. Many think tlat the clloice
Of the legislature lies between Senator Chcs-
nut and Colonel Allen, either Of whom are
well fitted for the important position.
"Thc Office Of Governor is one nut generally
sought after in South Carolina The salary is
only $500 per anuum, and as the Governor is
compelled to visit every district in the State Ut
least once Il year, in order to inspect the mill

Two suits have been instituted in the JeiIcr-
son County Circuit Court against Barton D.
jenkins. Of Henry county, aud the damages. in
each laid ut 5000. The facts pertaining to
the case arc these: Jas. W. Roberts, of Henry
county, about November first, placed his
daughter Mary, aged sixteen years. in the
Catholic Female Academy, at Owen*boro, Of
which Sister Isabella is the Superior.
1t seems that young 1nan named Bruce had
been paying attentions to Miss Roberts, aud
about the eight Of the month, perhaps at his
instigation, B. D. jenkins went to Owcnboro,
taking his daughter with him, and obtained
entrance to the academy, alleging that he de-
sired his daughter to become a pupil therein.
Subsequently said jenkins and another man
entered the school room with grcal violence,
breaking the glass and sash Of thu window.
They seized upon Miss Roberts, regardless ct
tho ernest entrcadcs Of the school mates and
helpless teachers, and took her away She was
conveyed to Evansville, Indiana, where By
fraudulently personating Jas. ". Roberts, Or
having it done, and signing The name Of said
Roberts to consent OF the marriage, q liccnte
was obtained, and Bruce and Mary Roberts
were married.
AS stated above Roberts has sued Jenkins
in our Court, ii also Las Sister Isabella Drury,
the Superior of the Academy, for the inva*i: II
Of her premises, and in both cases attachments
have issued. Capt Rousseau is the lawyer for
plaintiffs, aud Judge Bullock represents the
defendents. The case will be tried next term.
