A Domestic Battle in Front of
Winter Garden.

A lively scene occurred in front of the
Winter Garden, few evenings since, at
the close of the performance, as the audi
ence was leaving. A lady came out, ac-
companied by young gentlemen, and
when near the gate stopped suddenly,threw
up her hands in astonishment, and ex-
claimed in a loud voice, which attracted
the attention of every one near: "There is
my husband with another woman!"
Immediately she rushed upon the wo-
man whom her husband was escorting, and
attacked her in the most violent manner
she was capable; tore off her bonnet and
trampled it under foot; plunged into hel
hair with which she made sad havoc; in.
flicted numerous blows on her head and nu.
merous scratches on her face; the victim Of
the assault meantime, shedding tears pro-
fusely and crying piteously for protection,
and the petrified husband standing by, un-
able, apparently, to restore peace. Out
side persons soon interfered, however, and
separated .he fair combatants, and the par
ties went of, to manage their own affairs
in their own way, according to the great
'pur-in-ciple" Of Douglas. They all had
the appearance of respectable people,

A HGayOld WILD

A correspondent at Bundysburg, Trum

of an old Will, the original manuscript o
which is in the hands of Mr.. w. H. Smitl
of Mesopotamia, o. 1t has some ricf
points. @
"During the War of 1912 company
of Massachusetts soldiers were encamped

From Fort Sumter.

The Philadelphia North American Of
Monday morning publishes a letter from
an officer at Fort Sumter, written on
Thursday last (March 2s.) 1t gives the
latest news from that Fort. The writer
says: .-.. --..-
defensive preparations are still going
on. Up to day no orders for the evacu-
alton of the work have been received, and
although, two messengers have arrived
within the last few days, the object of their
visit has not transpired, it being strictly of
confidential nature. The prohibition of
all intercourse with Charleston is still rig
idly maintained, and proposition to cut
off the supplies of fresh provisions and the
mails from Major Anderson, was to-day
discussed in the convention. Some pr
vate furniture belonging to one of the Off
GERS and which has been detained on Sui
livan's Island for months, was finally sent
down to the fort.
1.-The prospective evacuation of the work
has been learned from the newspapers on
ly, and if the visit Of the messengers from
Washington related thereto, it was not yet
officially announced; and the statements in
the Charleston papers that Major Ander-
son had expressed any preference for a par
ticular time, or that an arrangement was
to be made with any officer of South Car
olina in regard TO the evacuation, is entire
ly untrue. Major Anderson awaits the
orders of his Government, and by these
alone will he be guided.
The fnsl and provisions of the fort are
nearly exhausted. The last shanty on the
parade was pulled down week ago and
dry pine burns fast. Seven days allow-
ance of bread get remains, but tha men
are working steadily on, completing the
preparations for defense. The embrasures
for musketry on the side of the work ex-
posed to the fire of the batteries at Cum
ming's Point and Fort johnson have been
filed with solid tagging filled with lead,
and are now ball and bomb proof, adding
materially to the strength of the work.
Inside, the magazine and hospisal have
been protected by stone traverses, and the
parade cleared.

Sports of the SeutI,.

The following, from The American Geor'
gian, gives pleasing view of the sports
with which the tedium of the day is relieved
in that climate:
son Thursday last while Green Clifton
was crossing the square, Abraham Dudley,
standing before one ofthe bar rooms, offered
TO bet the whiskey for the crowd that he
could shoot hole through Clifton's hat
without touching hair on his head. The
bet being taken, he drew pistol and fired
at him, but fortunately missed him. The
ball struck Mr.. Gillis's foot, who was sitting
in his office, in range OF the pistol, but be-
ing too far spent, did no injury. This is,
we think, rather reckless sport.

Who Saw the Steer.

Newburyport Herald tells good story
how some young men in that extremely
quiet city were "taken in" by a green
Johnathan. He was "decked out" in a
slouched hat, blue frock, and a pair Of
cowhide shoes, big as gondolas, with huge
whip under his arm, and stalked into a
billiard saloon where Lalf dozen persons
were improving their time in turning the
worries; after recovering from his first sur.
prise at the to him singular aspect of the
room, he inquired if "any of 'em bad seen
stray steer,' affirming that the "blasted
critic rgot away as he come through town
with his drove the other day, and be
hadn't seen nothin' of him SINCE" The
bloods amused themselves considerably
with their sympathy for him, while he ap-
peard greatly interested in the game Of
knocking round the balls, and oftentimes
expressed his admiration of the good shots
made, by the exclamation of "Je-ru-sa-lem T'
At last he made a request to try his hand,
and still further amused the lookers-on by
his awkward movements, and after some
little practice, be offered to bet dollar that
that he could beat his oponent. He lost,
and the sport raised at his expense, so irri-
tated him, that he put up two dollars,
which was also lost. .
He then bet fifty dollars, the largest bill in
roll andby some strange turn of luck be won
Upon this he offered to put up the hundred
just won against the other hundred. The
young men thought greeny could not blum
der into another game, and so they would
win back their money and his too. They
sent out for famous player, who happen
ed to have money enough to bet with, and
another game was played, which Jonathan
also won. Another hundred was also
raised and bet and won; and it was not
till be had blundered through half dozen
games, and by some unaccountable run of
luck, won them all, draining the pockets of
bis opponents of some four hundred dol
lars, that they began to smell a very large
"mice." When every body had got tired
playing, Gawey pulled on his frock over
his head, took his whip under bis arm, and
quietly walked out, turning aound at the
door and remarking, "Gentleman if you
should happen to see that steer, wish
you'd just let me know" At last accounts
they had not seen the steer, but they have
come to the conclusion that they saw the
elephant,

A LATE COURIER ARRESTED FOR SrEA

A LATE COURIER ARRESTED FOR STEAL
ING HIS OWN TEAM.-A young farmer OF
Rensselaer, county county, N. Y, who has
sweetheart residing in Albany, went to
the. city to visit her one evening. He hitch,
ed his horse in the street, several blocks
distant; and as the hours sped away, and
the animal uncared for and unclaimed, a
benevolent lady in front of whose house
it was hitched, called policemen and had
it taken to the stable. When the lover
at last bade his Dulcinea good night and
looked for bis team, it was of course mis-
sing. He supposed it was stolen, and tele-
grapbed to Troy and other places, request
ing that any one seen driving such team
might be arrested. Subsequently, inqui-
ring at the police station in Albany, he
got track of the property, recovered it by
making proper explanations, and drove
homeward rejoicing. But at Troy, the tel
egraph subjected him to another annoyance
for he was arrested as horse thief, upon
his own description of the team, and could
not escape the cells Of prison except by
sending for friends to come in from bis ru-
raj home to identify him.

The Weather i'm New Orleans

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes thus of the spring days The
Louisanians are enjoying:
The telegraph advises us of snow-storm
at Buffalo, sufficient to obstruct the rail-
way tracks. We, in the, meantime, are
luxuriating on green peas, early plums,
and strawberries, and the air is fragrant
with daffodils, vio!ets, and roses, the buds
of sweet olive, and the blossoms of the
orange. have just returned from a ride
in the swamp back of town-that great
cess-pool of this metropolis, which gener-
ates, with the recurrence of Summer, "Lhe
pestience that walketh in darkness" just
now, it presents a strange appearance
The staguant pools of black and green wa
ter in harmony with the tall, ghastly dead
trees, whose branches are hung with long,
pendant fleeces OF gray moss, giving them
somewhat the effect of Gothic architec-
ture. This moss is an article of utility in
the manufacture of lounges and mattresses,
but in its native state, hanging from the
live-oaks and expresses, is an excellent it,
lustration of the fantastic term which the
Choctaw Indians apply to leaves-"tree
hair" These features-the moss and the
water-contrast strikingly with the rich,
bright foliage of the deciduous trees, just
growing into their Summer life. The ge-
nial, balmy air renders physical existence
delicious and diffuses luxurious languor
through the system. Remove your hat
and close your eyes, and its strong current
strokes your brow lovingly, and nestles
softly against your cheek, like pillow.

Wool Growers VS.. Dog Growers

for the State shows that in 1860 Ohio had
s,442,25o sheep valued at s5,s79,s57.-
OF this number, Portage county contained
6s,777, valued at $lS5,l2S,60. During
the years ls59.6O, 42'956 sheep killed by

the grand total-sheep killed l4s; injured

The coming wool crop in this county
will not net the wool-growers less than
