AN INcIDENT-A Lesson FOR TIE PoLI-
Tlc1ANs The Baltimore Commercial, of
yesterday, mentions the following incident:
7s. Whilst the whole country has been suffer
ing from the old feuds, born originally of the
war, and kept alive by vengeful politicians,
a scene was witnessed at the Great Horse
Fair here on Saturday, which should set
these mischief breeders to thinking.
1t happened that General Grant was pres
ent at the Fair, and occupying one of the
stands, when his attention was called to the
fact that Gen. Joe johnson was upon the
other-the question being put, :" Would he
like to see him ?"
1. " Certainly" was the reply Of the General,
''s there is no man on the ground whom |
would be more pleased to see
Gen. Johnston was sent for, and cordial
greeting took place betwixt the distinguished
soldiers. and whilst this was going on, Gen.
Stoneman also made his appearance, like
cordial meeting occurring, the three occupy
ing the stand for a couple of hours in compa-
ny. .
Now, this may seem trife; but it never
theless conveys a deep and much. needed les
son; for until the masses of our people can
in like manner consent to bury old antago-
nisms, none need ever expect that we shall
have Union to be proud Of and worth cher
ishing.

CONFIRMATION OF THE STORY OF A WOMAN
BEING BURIED AL1yE-SHE IS NOW GETTING
WELL. Quincy, ~. Nov. 12.-The horri-
bic story that a woman had been buried alive
near this city has, been confirmed. A week
ago last Friday Mrs. J. FL. Mcclure, living
five miles distant from Quincy, was taken sick
with violent cold, and on the following
Sunday died, as was supposed. On Monday
she was buried in the family vault. The
next Wednesday all old lady, in company
with the children Of the deceased, visited the
vault to pray for the soul of the departed =
On their arrival at the tomb they heard groans
issuing therefrom. Help was called for
The door Of the vault was opened, and on
lifting the lid Of the coffin the terribly man
gled form OF Mrs. Mcclure was found still
alive Her hands were torn in her efforts to
free herself. She is now doing we'll She
says she remembers all that transpired during
her trance state, but was unable to speak or
move limb

UNLUcKY WEDDING DAYS Every nation
is more or less troubled with snperstitious
fears respecting marriage and death, Days
and months are singled out as unlucky for
marriage, and are avoided as steadily and
persistently as if a dread of something stood
between them in the future. 1t is the same
in regard to death On certain days. and the
after happiness or misery of the deceased is
made to depend greatly on the season and
the day in which they shake. off the mortal
coil. The nations of Northern Europe seem
to cling to these superstitions longer than any
others, and the Scotch probably longest of all.
With them, even to this day. Saturday is an
g unlucky'' day for marriages, and none are
performed on that day, and very few on Sur
day. The last day of December, when it
does notsfall on Saturday or Sunday, is the
great wedding day of the Scots. The aver
age on that day was 1865, while for any
month of the year besides the daily marriages
would not average seventy-fve. When the
31st of December falls on Saturday, howev-
err, superstition rules the day, and the mar
riage record is nearly blank; but the day
previous is usually taken in its stead. Some
thing similar, but not to such an extent, pre-
walls in Sweden and Norway.

WIFE. There is no combination of letters
in the English language which excites more
pleasing and interesting associations in the
mind of man, than the word g wife" There
is magic in this little word. 1t presents to
the minds eye a cheerful companion, dis
interested adviser, nurse in sickness, COM
forter in misfortune, and faithful and affec-
Tomato friend. It conjures up the image of
a lovely, tender, confding woman, who
cheerfully undertakes to contribute to your
happiness-to partake with you the cup,
whether of veal or woe, which destiny may
offer. The word wife" is synonymous with
the greatest earthly blessings; and we pity
the unfortunate decreed to trudge along thro'
lies dull pilgrimage without one.

The GoLGoTHA AT ARLINGTON A more
terrible spectacle says the National Intelli
gencer, can hardly be conceived than is to
be seen within dozen rods of the Arlington
mansion. A circular pit twenty feet deep
and the same in diameter, has been sunk by
the side of the flower garden, cemented and
divided into compartments, and down to this
gloomy receptacle are cast the bones of such
soldiers as persisted on the field, and either
were not buried at all or were so covered up
as to have their bones nihgle indiseriminate-
ly together, At the time we looked into this
gloomy cavern, a literal Golgotha, there were
piled together skulls in one division, legs in
another, arms in another and ribs in anoth-
er, what were estimated as the bones of two
thousand human beings.

KEErING BACON HAMs.-Make number
of cotton bags, a little larger than your hams !;
after your hams are well smoked place them
in the bags; then get the best kind of sweet,
well made hay, cut it with a knife, and with
your hands press it well around the hams in
the bags; tie the bags with good strings, put
on a card Of the year to show their age and
hang them up in a garnet or some dry room,
and they will be better for boiling than on
the day you hung them UP. This method
costs but little, and the bags will last forty
years. No flies or bugs will trouble the
hams if the hay is we'll pressed around them
the sweating of the hams will be taken up by
the hay, and the hay will impart fine flavor
to the hams. The hams should be treated
in this way before hot weather sets in.

AGirl Nine Years Old Shoots Robbers

Few families have ever been placed in such
trying circumstances as that OF Mr.. Cush-
man S, on Thursday night last, to be relieved
so unexpectedly and by such an exhibition OF
heroisln and self-possession as We are about
to record. Some time about midnight Mrs.
Cushman was aroused by the barking of the
yard dog. Getting out of bed and selzing
repeater which was at the head of her bed,
she was awaiting Developments, when the
noise of whispering was heard. In few
seconds efforts were being made at three diff
ferent windows to burst open the blinds -
Mrs. Cushman twice endeavored to discharge
the repeater through one of the blinds, but
it refused to fire, Della, a little daughter nine
years DID, had in the meantime been, aroused
and she had gathered the other of the two
repeaters which had been placed at the head
of the bed. While her mother was exchang-
ing her refractory weapon for shot gun
which was in the room, little Della had taken
her stand at one of the windows. They were
too slow for little Della, so forcing the muz-
zle between the folding blinds, and guessing
at her aim, she fred The robber had re-
ceived his reward. Groans and muttering
took the place of busy preparations to rob,
and probably otherwise to outrage peacea-
BILE family. The robbers gathered around
their wounded companion and bore him off,
it is not known whether dead or alive. I'm.
fortunately, it is not known who the robbers
were: even their color is unknown.

A DAUGHTER OF GENERAL MAxcY GREGG
EM1GRATEs TO LIBERIA. Columbia, S.,
C., correspondent Of the New York Times
writes, on the 14th instant, concerning the
departure of a number Of negroes from that
State to Liberia, and says:
"A good deal Of the interest felt by this
community in this emigration party arises
from the fact that with it goes a lady Of one
of the best families in the State, who accom-
panies or conducts the movement, and who
goes as missionary to Liberia to devote her
life, fortune. and talents to the work of mis-
sionary instruction This lady is Miss.
Gregg, a daughter of General Maxcy Gregg,
who was killed at the battle Of Fredericks-
burg in 1862. Miss Gregg has for a great
while perhaps ten or twelve years, certain
" several years before the war-chershed
the idea Of going as a missionary to Africa !;
but it is understood that the wishes of her
friends and family prevented her from carry
ing out her favorite project. Now an OPP
portunity offers, and she embarks in the en-
terprise with her whole soul, and with the
energy characteristic Of her family. Several
Of the Gregg family servants have consented.
at her instance, to accompany her. One
man especially, Of whom we know personal
", goes with her to assist in the work of
teaching This man and his wife were
taught reading and writing in their child
hood, and have improved their advantages
to such an extent as to be Of really impor-
tant assistance to their former mistress. 1t
was not uncommon for the house servants Of
gentleman to be educated in this way.
Thousands Of negroes in South Carolina can
read write, and perform some arithmetical
calculations, and such has always been the
case"

INTERESTING TO FARMERS. "A few days
since, says the Stockton Herald, country
man came in town with a sick OK, that he
could do nothing with, and said it would die
with swelling up, that number of cattle
have so generally died Of in this country.
The countryman was complaining Of his bad
luck in Mr. Tinkham's butcher shop, on
Main street, when TinkhanI stepped out
where the OK was with a butcher knife,
some four inches long, which he stuck full
length in the ponch of the OK The OK i'm
mediately jumped up, the wind making
whistling noise as it came out of the wound.
The following morning, the OK went to work
in the team as usual The wound was made
ON the left side. near the point of the hip
and short rib and as near the rib as possible,
No evil effects arise from a wound being
there made, although at times manure has
come out with the wind. 1t is the belief of
some that such wound must be made with
small pen knife, so small thatit is necessa-
ry to put quill in the orifce to keep it open
to let out the air; but no such care need be
taken, as a wound sufficiently large to allow
the air to escape with the use of a quill is by
no means dangerous. A general knowledge
