CURE FOR FITs.-The Hartford (Wis.) cores
pondent Of the Milwaukee Sentinel tells the fol-
lowing:
A singular case of matrimonial fits a newly dis.
covered disease, has lately come before the at.
tention of the good people of this village. 1t was
remarkable, not so much by its manifestations, as
by the manner in which speedy cure was brought
about.
A young man OF this place, not yet out of
his teens, had beeni paying his attentions to a
young lady some three years his Junior, and had
for some time been pressing upon the parents of
both parties the necessity of an early marriage,
but being refused this very reasonable request
he was compelled to resort to strategy of the most
ingenious description.
He was seized with fanting fits, and a council
of the village physicians being called, the most
powerful remedies known to the profession were
tried, but to no purpose. His case was given up
as hopeless by his friends, and being asked if he
was fully prepared for the dreadful solemnity of
death, replied that he was, with the exception of
one thing. II he could but marry Miss Mary Ann
he would die happily. HIS dying request certainly
could not be refused, and Mary Ann having no
objections, the minister sent for and the solemn
ordinance of marriage was performed before the
most solemn messenger of death should step in to
snatch away the gaspng bridegroom from time to
the regions of eternity.
The end of this should-have-been solemn occur
renee has TRANSFERRED in this conclusion. The sick
man arose from bed Immediately after the knot
had been tied, a well man. What school of ply
sicians will be the first to take advantage of this
new curative in their method Of practice

SCHOOL BENCHES AND DEsKs.-The attention of
Berlin pedagogues has lately been directed to a
subject of considerable Importance to the we'll
being of the rising generation. An exchange
says:
Hrhe attention of Berlin pedagogues has lately
been directed to a subject Of considerable import
ance to the well being of the rising generation.
DR.. Parrow, who is the originator of the move
ment in question, has been for many years the di-
rector of an orthopGdic institution at Bonn, and
has given it as the result of his experience that
very large proportion of the cases of deformity
among young persons arise from the improper
construction Of school benches and tables. Such
a statement from such an authority certainly de-
serves very serious consideration. As the prepor-
ton between mind and body is very variable,
long.legged ounces and short.legged geniuses ne.
cessarily meet in the same classroom, whereas all
the benches and tables are all of the same size.
Whether the benches be too high or too low, the
position is uneasy, and produces fatigue after
many hours. Besides this, the tables are too far
from the benches, and when boy writing he
is obliged to lean forwards and bend his head
his copy-book. This posture has two very bad
results. 1t contracts the breasts, thus interfering
with respiration, and producing in time narrow
chest !; and it sends the blood to the head which
besides other unhealthy consequences, produces
shortness of sight. DIR. Parrow proposes to remedy
the defects by introducing benches of different
heights into the same class room, and by placing
them much nearer the table. In order that the
boys may be able to get to their places the tables
are to have a leaf which turns over ona hinge and
can be turned back when the boy has taken his
seat.

How AN OLD Fool OF SIXTY THREE WAS SWINDLED
BY A Young DAMsEL.--A gentleman named Berry,
who is resident of Platt county, Mo-, having, as
he thought arrived at the age Of discretion, and
being tired of single blessedness at the age OF
sixty three, thought he would take to his bosom
partner of his joys, in the person Of a charming
young damsel named Miller, sweet twenty three.
Accordingly the happy couple, mindful OF the
rough exterior of border life took the train Tor
Hannibal, where they could enjoy the pure air of
taste and refinement and where they knew how to
tie the knot of matrimony in tasteful and becom-
ing manner Arriving here yesterday morning,
they straightway repaired to the Continental
House, where the would be bridegroom modesty
inquired for a room, where himself and his gay
and smiling companion could rest themselves from
the fatigues of their journey but the proprietor,
hoteF couldn't see it, The companion of bliss
and happiness, all blushlng to the ears, informed
his worthy host, in low and pteous accents"
that he was going to be married, and That the
sweet creature in the parlor was his intended. AS.
sured that all was right, the landlord promised
them room as soon as they were married--one
lifted up in style BETTING the occasion and the
happy admirer of the blushing maiden, after pur-
chasing for her magnificent and costly breakfast
value, and leaving with her for safe keeping his
elegant watch and chain, started out to ind the
lucky pastor who should make the twain one flesh.
After much effort, he found the object OF his
search, worthy divine, who informed him that he
would accompany him. Arm in arm they started
for the Continental, the countenance OF Berry all
wreathed with smiles, and his manly breast heav-
inn with pent-up joy. But alas for the uncertainty
of human calculations! The bird had fown-ske-
daddled-gone; flesh, blood, bones, shawl watch
and all.

CAROLINA ROMEO AND JuLIET.--A cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing
from Columbia, S. c., April 5, narrates the follow
ing romantic love episode
Early in the struggle, a young lawyer entered
the Confederate service from this town, and OBJ
tanned captains commission, deferring an en-.
gagement of marriage with a young woman of
high social position and broad acres of cotton
(disassociated from any in her toiette,) until the
contest had terminated
The loving twain agreed, if one should die be-
fore the other the survivor should follow to the
tomb, and they made such promises as did the
fair lmogene and Alonzo the brave.
At the battle of Five Forks, in Virginia the
captain was killed; and the sad news being com.
muniCated to his mistress, she made her will, and
prepared for death, though carefully concealing
her determination from her relatives.
A few weeks after the fall Of the young officer,
the morning following the afternoon ofhis funeral
which she attended, pale and fearless as statue,
she was found dead in her bed Her parents said
shes had expired of congestion of the brain; but
note left by their daughter informed them of her
intention to commit suicide, which she did with
hydrocyanic acid; and, as the sentimento-re-
ligious rhapsodists would have us believe, joined
her lover in realm of happiness, where the
amaranth of affection forever blooms

AN INDIAN CHIEF RoBBED.-Mo ka-ho.ko, a
chief of the Sacs tribe of Indians, arrived here on
Monday last in company with one John Powers. a
half-breed, en- route for Washington, to see and
talk with the " great father"
They put up at Barnum's Hotel, and remained
there until Friday last. On that evening Powers
called one of the clerks up to his room, and took
from his boot lot of bills amounting to several
hundred dollars. He paid their bill, remarking at
the same time, in broken English 81 he afraid of
white man-me keeps de money in boots-dey no
tnk money dere."
They left the hotel for the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad together, Powers being somewhat under
the influence of liquor as indeed he had been for
some days before. The following morning Mo -ka
ho.ko returned, exhibiting much apparent grief
and anxiety as to the whereabouts of his partner,
Powers, who is nowhere to be found, and it is sus
pected that he made away with the money, or, as
Mo- ka-ho-ko endeavors to express, has been foully
dealt with. Around the chiefs neck is suspended
a large silver medal, on one side of which is the
head of Franklin Pierce, and on the other an Indian
chief, as if in earnest conversation with white
man. tits dated 1858. A necklace of buffalo
tusks, a large, round hair cap and full beaded In
dian suit of clothing, with moccasins, constitute his

semi-savage, and appears to take the loss of his
companion with much feeling, but word of Eng
lish he can't comprehend.
