Romantic Story of Printers Love-The
Vicissitudes of Fortune as Good as n

Romantic Story of a Printers LOve-The
Vicissitudes of Fortune as Good as n
Play
A young printer, of Springfield, Mass,
fell in love with beautiful girl, who had the
misfortune to be rich. He essayed to attract
her attention, but in vain. Despairing, he
started for California-that land Of refuge for
broken fortunes and wounded hearts. This
was in the year 1859, when San Francisco
was village, and wanted printers more
than at present. The boy quickly became
man there; and, embarking in the printing
business, soon found himself the proprietor
Of an establishment from which sprang, in
due time, a weekly paper, ere long to be
followed by a daily. His journal and his
fortunes fourished amazingly, and he re-
turned to New York in 1854, with the avowed
purpose of buying six-cylinder press, but
with the unavowed purpose of locking up q
lovely form in his now golden chases.
Alas for human hopes The maiden was
welded and the mother of two children.
The printer bought his presses and returned
to California--a sadder, not wiser man.
Years progressed, and he prospered. One
day lady visited his editorial-room, to lay
her modest contribution on his table, in
hopes of getting some remuneration for it.
Her story was told briefly; her husband had
come to mend his fortunes in the land of
gold, and had died, and she was left very
poor, with her two children TO support. The
editor looked at the lady moment--and
handed her a doubloon. The astonished
woman essayed to utter thanks, but was
waved away. To shorten the story, the
lady was his early love, and-hs married
her, sold out his establishment, returned to
New York, and is now enjoying as much
felicity on the banks of the Hudson as it
falls to the lot Of few printers even to con-
ceiye.

GUARDIANSHIP OF AN ILLEGIT1MATE CHILD.
A controversy as to the custodianship of an
illegitimate daughter of Frederick Schmetzer
was before Judge Hilton. She had been
placed four years ago with Isaac F. Smith,
and the father now claimed to have the GUS
tody restored to him, on the ground that
Smith had neglected to perform his contract
by having the girl educated, as she could
neither read nor write, though thirteen years
of age.
A plea by respondents counsel that the
father of an illegitimate child had no rights
in Court that could be enforced in law, was
overruled.
The child, in answer to the interrogato-
ries of the Court, said she would prefer to
remain with Mr.. Smith, that his family had
been kind to her, and that her attendance at
school was interrupted by her getting sore
eyes. ---.
The case was adjourned for further testi-
monY.

Extraordinary TeBacity Of Persons Deter.
mined NOT 60 Die. rr
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his famous
paper on Physicians, tells the following
stories of persons who wOuldnt die when
they "wete expected TO-" He says:
have doomed people, and seen others
doom them over and over again, on the
strength of physical signs, and they have
lived In the most contumacious and scien-
tihoally unjustifable manner as long as they
lived, and are living still. / see two men in
the street very often, who were both as good
as dead in the opinion of all who saw them
in the extremity. People will insist on living
sometimes, though manifestly moribund. In
Elders LIFE Of Or. Kane You will find a
story Of this sort, told by DR.. Kane himself.
The captain of ship was dying with scurvy,
but the crew mutinied, andhe gave up dying
for the present to take care of them.
An old lady in this city, near her end, got
q little vexed about proposed change in
her will, ordered coach, was driven twenty
miles to the house of a relative, and lived
four years longer.
Cotton Mather tells some good stories
which he picked up in his experience, OF out
of his books, showing the unstable squilib-
rum Of prognosis. Simon Stone was shot
in nine places, and as he lay for dead the In
dians made two hacks with hatchet to cut
his head off. He got well, however, and was
lusty fellow in Cotton Mather's time.
Jabez Musgrave was shot with a bullet
that went in his ear and came out of an eye
on the other side. A couple of bullets went
through his body, also. Jabez got well,
however, and lived many years. Per contra,
Col. ROsster cracking plum-st stone with his
teeth, broke his tooth, and lost his life. We
have seen physicians dying, like Spigelius,
from a scratch; and man who had a crow
bar shot through his head is alive and we'll.
These extreme cases are warnings.
Capt. Daniel Greene, an old sea-captain,
who died in Marietta, year or two since,
had scar about the size of n ten-cent piece,
plainly TO be seen, on each side of his face,
caused by bullet shot through his head,
little front of his ears, many years before his
death, as we have heard in an engagement
of his vessel with pirates. The writer
hereof once knew girl to slide from hay in
the upper part of stable upon cart-stake,
which was sharp at the top, and which en-
tered the lower part of her body and passed
out between two of her ribs; her father took
the stake out Of the cart with his little
daughter thus pierced through by it, laid her
on the stable-foor, and pulled the stake out
of her body. That same little girl is yet
living, and now married woman.

HOMICIDE IN CoLERAIN TOwNsHP-A Nan
Beaten TO Death By a ComTads.-Homicides
are like woes, inasmuch as one treads upon
ahother's heels. A citizen is stabbed to the
heart in q public thoroughfare; another is
shot dead in the house of an acquaintance; a
third receives a stiletto at midnight, and
a forth is beaten to death with stick of
wood, and all these follow each other so
closely that the community has not ceased
to use one as topic of conversation before
another has been related.
Last Sunday night Colerain Township was
the scene of homicide which is as mysteri-
Gus as those to which we have alluded. A
party of men visited a neighbor, and, while
there, by the excessive use of liquor, became
intoxicated. They seemed in the best pos
sible mood, and, after enjoying themselves
in their peculiar way for some time, started
home.
On the way back, one of them probably
somewhat more intoxicated than the rest
named Charles Roehlef fell behind his COM
paniOns, when one of them, named Michael
Fisher, apparently without motive, went
back, took a stick of wood, and, after beating
him to death, returned and told the other
members Of the party that he had "ixed
him."
Next morning Roehlef was found in the
path, cold, stiff aud bloody with fixed eyes
and CHASTITY face, victim to the autocratic
democrat who furnishes homes for all alike,
and, with skeleton hand, forces Torgias and
Diogenes, Phidias and AleibiadeS Penelope
and Helen, into the same eternal bed
Fisher was arrested and taken before
Justice Marsh, Of Colerain, who, after an ex-
animation, committed him to Jail to await
trial at the next term of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, upon charge Of murder in the
first degree. The homicide is mute in re-
gard to the affair, and simply says that he
doing. The mystery seems more impen-
etrable, and may probably never be faith
omed. '4't ~ q. R''- -

Remarkable Trance-Strikiug Instances
of life in Death,

Many instances are on record, in which,
but for the presence of an experienced medi-
cal man, persons affected with catalepsy,
hysteria, and various obscure nervous de-
rangements, would have been consigned to
one of the most dreadful forms of death, by
being entombed alive. DR.. Couch gives an
an interesting example of this in one of his
female patients. Being summoned in haste
to her bedside, remarkable change in her
aspect was apparent. The attendants were
greatly alarmed, and said she was dying, or
in a trance. She lay motionless and appar-
emily devoid of animation. Her eyes were
fixed and CLASSY. No heaving of the chest,
no movement of the air.-psssages, indicated
respiration. The only signs of life were her
warmth and her pulse-the latter being very
weak.
The body being raised so as to form an
obtuse angle With the limbs, her thin and
pallid frame looked like corpse which had
been popped up, and had stiffened in that
attitude. One arm was raised by the attend
ants, and then the other, each remaining
rigid and marble-like where it was fixed.
She was placed upright, and vain endeavors
were made to arouse her by calling loudly in
her ears. AS she stood statue-life and un-
conscious, with eyes wide open and arms
outstretched, the slightest touch put her of
her balance. She would have fallen had she
not been supported. This strange "life in
death defied all treatment and lasted for
fourteen hours. Other attacks followed, of
twelve and nine hours duration, after which
she recovered by the use of suitable restora-
tives. Such attacks are often of much longer
duration, and if deprived of the aid and pro-
lection of medical science, this woman would
probably have been in short time invested
in her shroud, and would have added one
additional victim to that popular ignorance
and indecorous haste which have SO often,
especially in torrid climates, and in times of
pestilence, mistaken the temporary suspen-
sion of organic functions, for mans last dread
enemy, death.
