Tragedy, Comedy and NIatrf-
mOny--A High Mixture. Il

An exciting affair, combining the
tragical, comical and matrimonial, took
place in the village of Warren, ILL.,, on
the 1st. A young man named Rollins
was in love with Miss Tuttle, daush.
ter of Mr.. Tuttle, a grocery merchant
in Warren. Father forbid Rollins the
house; Mrs. T. favored the suitor; father
shut up mother and daughter for two
days. Rollins eventually got a lady
friend to hand letter to Miss Tuttle.
Father overheard the conversation rush
ed in, and struck his daughter with his
fist. Lady friend interposed, when out
ragged patient struck lady friend over
the eye with chisel. Lady friends
friends had father arrested for assault
and battery. First witness for prosecu-
tion was Miss Tuttle. Her examination
over, she left the court and her father,
stepped into carriage inwaiting, where
Rollins Joined her, and the twain, be-
hind the horses, were soon flying across
the prairies to Robinson's, just over the
Wisconsin line. The judge was not at
home-so the party turned back to
Warren, still single.
Meantime father Tuttle missed his
daughter, got fast team, and started
in pursuit. When about two miles from
town he met the truant daughter and
her lover, when the driver Of their team
yelled out at the top of his vaice: sWell,
old fellow, we have euchred you this
time-your daughter has been married
for the last half hour-so there's no use
in your troubling yourself about it.
Not doubling the truth of the story,
Tuttle logged back to town, rejecting
upon his i'll luck in court, where he had
been fined $40 and costs, and his still
worse luck in the attempt to defeat the
plans of Rollins and his daughter. The
young folks hurried, to town, procured
clergyman, and, before the enraged
parent had arrived home, were united
in the bonds Of matrimony.

Extraordinary Occurrence.

A correspondent of the Hartford Times
tells a story of a volunteer in one of the
Connecticut regiments, who in the ad-
vance of the grand army of the Potomac
in 1863, was taken sick, died and was
buried, the correspondent performing
the last sad rites over the remains of
his dead comrade. A volley was fred
over the grave and the soldier was left
to his long sleep. Time passed; the
war ended: the correspondent was hon.
orably discharged, and he had forgotten,
in the rush of events, his comrade Sleep
ing by the banks of the Rapidan, when
the other day, in Hartford, who should
appear before him but that same dead
and buried soldier. It is not strange
that he felt curious sensation come
over him; that he looked at the figure
before him without speaking; that he
stepped aside when the other advanced
20 him with Outstretched hand. The
demoaenent is thus given +.
"Old chum, don't you know me p
Said I, eyes, l do But what, in
the name of God, are you doing here?-
| helped to bury you, once, in Virginia?"
81 know that some one buried me,
and [ always thought you was one of
them, as you were always SO kind to me !!
But you see now" said he, offering his
hand to me, sthat / am flesh and blood"
l shook hands with him, and he told
me that he was in a trance when we
buried him, and that he was digging
his way out, and had got his head out,
when the rebs came along and assisted
him. They then sent him to Libby
Prison, where they kept him in durance
for year. They then sent him to Geor-
gia, where he remained till the war was
ended, when he was released.

How Fowls ARE FED IN ENGLAND

How Fowls ARE FED IN ENGLAND.
The London Times says that the feed
of the poultry, at the great poultry house
in England, which is three hundred
feet long, the roost poles hollow and
filled with steam in cold weather to keep
the birds warm and promote their lay
ing, consists Of cabbages, green food and
horsefesh twice every day. Sunday,
cross-grained barley; Monday, Indian
corn; Tuesday, oats; Wednesday, boiled
potatoes; Thursday, boiled rice, Friday,
mangel wurzel; and Saturday, mixed
grain. Add to this handful of sharp
grit is sprinkled in all the food to pro-
mote digestion; that sulphate Of iron is
put into the drinking water once, and
charcoal administered twice week, and
it will be seen that our high estimate
of the comforts enjoyed by these cocks
and hens is not overcharged. The floor
of each inner pen is covered with some
sifted soil some inches deep, while the
outer one has received plentiful sup
ply Of stable dung, each material being
carefully turned with spade twice in

Puzzles In Ancient Philosophy.

= - ~<AAA~SS - - - -
Among other famous ancient dialec
tic problems are the following dileinmas
which are framed with wonderful in.
genuity, the acuteness displayed in
their construction being unsurpassed -
The first is called Sylzogisnsus Grocodi-
lss, and may be thus stated: ii 9
An infant, while playing on the bank
of a river, was seized by a crocodile.
The mother, hearing its cries, ,orushedto
its assistance, and by her fearful en-
treaties obtained a promise from the
crocodile, who was obviously Of the
highest intelligence that he would give
it back if she would tell him truly what
would happen to it. On this the mother
perhaps rashly, asserted: You will
not give it back, safl sia
The crocodile answers to this: off
you have spoken truly, I cannot give
back the child without destroying the
truth of your assertion; if you have
spoken falsely, cannot give back the
child, because you have not fulfilled
your agreement. Therefore, I cannot
give it back, whether you have spaken
truly or falsely" The mother retorted:
ssIf IF. I have spoken truly, you must give
back the child by virtue of your agree
ment; if have spoken falsely, that can
only be when you have given back the
child. So that, whether I have spoken
truly or falsely, the child must be given
back" History is silent as to the is
sue of this remarkable dispute. 1895
Of a similar nature is the other exam
pie above mentioned, which is even
more acutely stated. A young man
named Euathlus received lessons in
rhetoric from Protagoras, it being agreed
that certain fee should be paid if the
pupil was successful in the first cause
he pleaded. Euathlus, however, neg
lected to undertake any cause, and
Protagoras, in order to obtain his fee,
was compelled to sue him. Euathlus
defended himself in court, and it was
consequently the young mans first suit
The master argued thus: eff Ibe
successful in this case, O Euathlus, you
will be compelled to pay, by virtue of
the sentence of these righteous judges ];
and should I even be unsuccessful, you
will then have to pay me in fnlfllment
of your original contract" To this the
apt pupil replied; eff | be successful,
o Master, / shall be free by the SEN
tence Of these judges; and if | be unsuc-
cessful, | shall be free by virtue of the
contract" The story states that such
convincing arguments, thus diametri-
cally opposed, completely staggered the
judges, who, being quite unable to
decide postponed the Judgment sine
