The Hon. Obadiah Browne and Mrs.

The Hon. Obadiah Browne and Mrs.
Cora Browne were remarked a short time
since at New Haven, CT. They were first
J married nearly quarter Of century ago,
lived happily for some time, and became pa
rents of two sons now grown up. Troubles
came, and they were divorced. Mr. Browne
married again, and lived with his second
wife for number of years, until death re-
moved her. He finally renewed the &C
quaintance of his first wife, and the result
was that he has now led her to the altar for
the second time.
"A little boy met with a shocking death
in the town of Shirley, Massachusetts,, a
few days since. He was, with others, at
| tending school, near which was sand
bank, into which the children dug holes ;
into one of these holes they thoughtlessly
caused this boy to enter, when they closed
or filed up the entrance and left him. The
teacher soon after made inquiries for the
missing boy, when she was informed by
| those knowing the cause of his absence,
that they had buried him in the sand bank,
and which proved but too true; for upon
removing the sand and dirt, the little fellow
was found really dead, being actually buried
alive.
Further searches into the cave discovered
few weeks ago near Nashville, disclose the
skeletons of thirteen more Indians, one of
whom, supposed to be chief, had gold
bands valued at twelve hundred dollars
round his hands, fingers, legs, and neck. A
Ratchet composed of copper, weighing II
pounds was discovered, which was so hard
ened as to cut bar iron without the slightest

keeps the location of it a profound secret
from the Nashville folks, as he wishes to ex-
plore it completely before any disclosures
are made.
Referring to the case of the child MUIR
dering clergyman, the Albion, N. Y, Amer-
lean of the 12th says the story which was
circulated in the papers that Lindsey, after
being admitted to bail had returned and
given himself up the Sheriff and to insure
safety and to escape violence at the hands
of his neighbors, is without foundation in
fact He did, few days after his release,
consult with his counsel as to the propriety
of such a course but was dissuaded from
doing it. The report that Lindsey had
fed to Canada is also false. He is at home
in Shelby, where he will remain until the
time arrives for his indictment and trial,
which will be at the next session Of the
criminal court in September.
The Salt Lake Vidette, still continuing
its war on the Mormon monstrosity at the
Saints Rest tells US how Brigham Youngs
financial matters are carried on, and how
the faithful are regularly shorn Of the fruits
of their labor. According to his laws,
when a man joins his church, one-tenth of
all his property has to go to the support Of
it, and one-tenth of all the annual profits of
the remainder. If the man has no prop
erty, one-tenth Of his labor las to 60 to the
church; one-tenth Of every trade or occu-
patton has to be represented; and if man
should be idle thirty days, the tithing man
claims the profits of three days labor, on
the ground that no one has right to idle
away three days belonging to the Lord.
-Tbirwall, arrested for the murder of
James Houseman, at Cookstown, Pa, has
confessed his guilt, and says that the wife
of Houseman instigated the deed. The con-
lessor states that the victim was sleeping on
sofa. Just before he was shot, Houseman
drew long breath, or sigh. His wife,
who was sitting on the bed at the time,
grabbed hold Of him, drew him across the
bed, and let him bleed in tub. She then
took an old piece of quilt and wrapped it
around his head. She said, slim COUNT
do much as he was nearly played OUT"
When he was quite dead the body was re-
moved across the street, about twenty feet
wide, and rolled down the PERCEPTIONS bank
into the river. A rope was tied around his
neck, and to the other end was attached an
iron axle tree that sunk him. Next morn
ing she sent out her eldest boy to hunt his
pap, but when he returned, saying he could
not find him, she remarked that hewould be
back directly.
