AMUSING IF TRUE.-In one of the populous
and thriving manufacturing towns near Ash
ton-under-Lyne, says London paper, one of
the volunteer rife companies had meeting
for the purpose of choosing officers. 1t was
known that there were many candidates for the
honor, but it was not until the time of election
that the exact state of the case was understood.
On that occasion a suggestion was made, that
all the gentlemen desirous of becoming Of
ficers should retire during the election, when,
to the general astonishment, it was found that
only three members of the company were left
to proceed with business. The three gentle
men left to do the work however did not finch
from their duty, and those who had retired
were in due time summoned back to the meet
ing. They were then Informed that the meet
ing had felt great difficulty about the selection,
because the claims of all who had left the room
were so conspicuous it seemed invidious to
take one in preference to another. Under
these circumstances the meeting had adopted
the most obvious and satisfactory way of es-
Gaping the difficulty by electing themselves
to fl the three vacant offices.

must have some dangerous Amazons among
its population. Three of these, taking um-
bragg at some children attending the township
school house, attacked them with stones and
other missiles, seriously endangering the safe
ty of the children. The assault was repeated
on the following day, when it became evident
to those entrusted with the preservation of the
public peace that the New Castle Jail was the
most fit place for such termagants, and they
were accordingly lodged there. When the
people heard of these outrages, great excite
ment ensued, and acting on the ler falionis.
they proceeded in a body to house occupied
by one of the offenders and tore it down eff
fectually, not leaving one stone upon another.

SHovELING OFF SIDEwALK.-Last winter
an Irishman, recently landed on our shores,
applied to a merchant on the wharf for work.
Willing to do him a kindness, the latter hand
ed him shovel, and pointing to the back of
his store, told him to SHOVEL off the sidewalk.
The merchant forgot all about the Irishman,
until the lapse of an hour or two, when Teddy
thrust his head into the counting room (Which
was up stairs,) and inquired:
sMayhap yee'ud be having pick, SIR
ga pick to get the snow off p said the mer-
chant, smiling.
sThe snow 'ud be off long since,' replied
Teddy, sam the bricks, too, for that matther,
but its the site (soil) that shticks!'
In some alarm the merchant ran to his back
window and sure enough the fellow had thrown
nearly all the pavement into the street, and
made quite hole.
sGood gracious man / only wanted you to
shovel off the snow.'
.Arrah, SIR said Teddy, sdidn't your honor
tell me to shovel off the sidewalk.'

The FAMILY OF MIssEs.-The ugliest and
most mischievous miss we ever knew of was
Miss Government. Her sister, Miss Manage
mept, is no beauty. Miss-Demeanor surpass-
es them both; and, while she is uglier and
laughter than either of her two sisters, she
is still constantly getting sscourted." While
we have no particular liking for Miss-Goe-
ernment, Miss Management or Miss-Demeanor,
we have decided disliking for Miss-F ortune.
She is forever sticking her nose where she is
not wanted. Among these unfortunate misses
may be placed Mistake, who is compelled
to bear the blame for the acts of Miss-Gov-
ernment, ss-Management, or Miss-Demean-
or. AS for us, we can endorse and even toll
crate any of the above named misses as well,
or better. than Miss -Anthropy. OF her, we
have perfect adherence. There is whole
family of misses whose company had better
be avoided; for instance, Mischief, Miss
Lead, Miss-Judge, Miss-Quote, Miss-Repre-
sent, Miss Rule, Miss-Trust, &c.

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.--The fact is well es-
tablished that drunken man is not easily
killed. He will stand harder usage than a
strictly sober man can be expected to and sur
vive. A few days ago man jumped from a
baggage car and rolled down an embankment
twenty feet high, in the vicinity of Lock Ha-
ven. The cars were running at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, but were Immediately
stopped and run back to the place of disaster.
To the astonishment of every one on the train,
they were met half way by the party over
board, who did not seem to be any the worse
for his adventure. OF course he was drunk !;
and of course he would have been killed out
right had he been sober.

AMALeAMAr1oN In NORTH CAROLINA.

The Raleigh, North Carolina, Press, of q
recent date, contains the following =
ssWe learn that last week, a young lady Of
extraordinary beauty and superior attainments
the daughter of wealthy and respectable
parents, of Sampson county-attempted to
elope with negro fellow, the property of her
cousin. To friend, we are indebted for the
following particulars Their elopement had
been planned for several weeks, but a favora-
BILE opportunity not presenting, it was post
poned from time to time an opportunity Of
fering favorable to her nefarious designs, she
told the negro to be in readiness, at the des-
ignated place and time. When the hour
rived, she crept silently from her fathers
house, and soon joined the negro, who was
waiting with horse and buggy which he had
stolen from neighbor-carrying the buggy on
his shoulder two hundred yards to the main
road the two then left and proceeded to-
wards the railroad.
ssBeipg short of funds, made it necessary for
the lady TO call upon one of her fathers
friends, telling him that he cher father) wished
him to loan her 500, at the same time hand
ing Eim note, which, upon examination,
proved to be worthless, as it had no signature
affixed. The gentleman informed her that he
would have willingly loaned her the required
sun, if her fathers signature had been to the
note, but as that important part was neglected,
he could not do it. She then went with tho
negro to Faison's Depot, Con the W. x W. r.
IL. Wnere Sne expected 10 take the CarS.) anu
offered the horse and buggy for sale at terms
SO low, that at once aroused the suspicious
that all was not as it should be. Several ques-
tions were put to her, all of which she an
swered with so much plausibility, that by
stander volunteered 10 lend her money, but be-
fore doing SO, he desired to see the bill of
sale for the negro, which she affirmed she had.
She produced it, but like the note, it was not
signed, and also contained several other er-
rors. The citizens then determined to arrest
them, and acted accordingly, whereupon the
young lady made clean breast of the whole
affar-publicly expressing that her determine
tion was to marry the black rascal when she
got to the North. The negro was Immediate
ly taken and lodged in Clinton Jail, but has
since been carried off and disposed of. The
young lady remained at Faison's few days
and then returned to her friends. As she is
young and beautiful, of superior accomplish
ments, and has numerous relatives and friends,
and has heretofore moved in the most respec--
table society, it is to be regretted that she
acted so improperly and unbecoming lady"

who perished in this vessel. Her agents at
Liverpool state that when she left there her
crew numbered 80, cabin passengers 30, steer
age passengeas 40, and that she took on board

passengers, making grand total of 205, not
one of whom was saved to tell the story. of her
disaster. The London Times, and few
other English papers, with only the first
account of her wreck before them, expressed
hopes that some of the crew or passengers.
might have escaped in the boats; but these
hopes, they will soon learn, are visionary. All
have passed from time into eternity, and the
remains of the vessel have been sold.

THE GREAT BREACH OF PROMISE CASE

The case of Miss Carztang against Mr.. Shaw
is again in course of trial at st. Louis.
1t will be remembered that on the first trial
of this case verdict was given for the plain
tiff assessing her damages at 100000. The
defendant applied for new trial, which, after
lengthy argument, granted by Judge
Reber. Since that time Mr.. Shaw has used
every means in his power to collect testimony
againt the plaintiff from every quarter where
she has ever lived or been known. The st.
Louis Democrat of the 9th instant devotes a
large space to a summary of the whole matter,
an epitome of which follows.
The defendant, Henry Shaw, has been res
ident of st. Louis for forty-one years. He
was formerly merchant. and acquiring great
wealth retired from business as long ago as
1S41. In personal appearance Mr. Shaw is of
medium height, hearty complexion, rather
sharp in features, with blue eyes, and possess
ed of great suavity of manners in fact one of
the politest men of st. Louis. His age is be-
tween fifty and sixty; his hair is tinged with
gray. His wealth is variously estimated be-
tween ST 500 900 and So, 900 900.
The plaintiff, Miss Effie Catharine Carztang,
has lived in comparative obscurity till the
commencement OF the present proceedings.
She went to st. Louis in the year 1854, and
has resided since on Fifth Street with Mrs.
Seaman, her sister. Her acquaintance with
Mr.. Shaw commenced during the year 1856,
ana the promise 10 marry is alleged TO nave
been given in November, 1885, In personal
appearance Miss Carztang is rather tall in fig
ure and withaf graceful, has dark hair, brilliant
eyes, blonde complexion, and firmness of
features indicating the decision of character
which has marked her participation in the
present suit since its inception. She is proba-
bly, little over thirty years of age.
The array of legal talent in the case consti-
tutes one Of Its features. FOrthe plaintiff there
is engaged Major Uriel Wright, an eminent
jurist and orator, Luther NJ. Shreve, William
Homes, and Mr.. Boyce; and for the defend
ant Edward Bates, leading counsel, ex-Judge
auckland, OF the Circuit Court, ex-Recorder
Cady, j. r. Shipley, and Samuel Glover.
These gentlemen are said to combine every
shade of legal ability. The testimony to be
introduced upon the trial, taken through the
several commissions issued at various times
within the last eight months, is said to be of
a vast amount.

The Cincinnati Gaeete, speaking Of tho
statement put in circulation by a ST. Louis pa
per that Edward Bates had never emancipated
his slaves, for the best of reasons-that they
had run away from him-says: sin the first
place, there is no such paper as the st. Louis
Eucning Post. And secondly, it is well au-
thenticated fact that Mr.. Bates not only volun-
tarily liberated his slaves, but, as we are reli-
ably assured, he literally provided them with
an outfit, and prepared them for the condition
of freedom. One of his former slaves was we'll
educated, and is now one of the ablest and
most useful of the Christian ministers in Lii
IBERIA. Any statement in conflict with these
facts is sheer felton,
