the knight of the hammer dwelling on the
rapid bids, and sounding the inevitable ''going,
going gone" of his profession. During the
auction there was constant buzz of conversa-
ton, which was increased when some aspirant
for choice pew offered the highest premium
for it, and thus vanquished dozen rivals for its
possession,
The following were the highest premiums OBJ

AN EXCITING SPEcTACLE.-One of the
most marvellous sights ever witnessed, is d.
herd of wild horses, in full and fiery march
along the pampas of South America. The
tall grass, at the approach of thousands of
eager and impetuous feet, heaves to and fro
like the waves of the sea. Grand as a whrl.
wind, yet in the most regular order, the
herd hurries on, the names flowing like flags,
and their tails erect like banners. At the
head of the vast triangle, gallops, as lend.
er, guide and champion, the strongest horse
of the herd. Behind him. in lines mathe-
matically straight-far more perfect and
unbroken than cavalry regiment-and
gradually extending till they reached their
extreme length, at the base of the triangle,
the most powerful horses occupy as a guard.
IN the middle, as most needing help and
shelter, are the foals and their mothers: but
still as a portion of the strictly symmetrical
lines. This is beautiful, ey en- if-apart from
the splendor and the energy-there was
nothing more than an illustration of the in.
talllble geometry of instinct. The spectacle,
however, has other admirers beside the
gaucho and the traveller, as they rein in their
steeds for moment to gaze. Above, how.
ever, are the loathsome vulture ard the vd.
racious uru6u; and keeping pace with the
mighty cohort of the wilderness, is the
pitiless jaguar. Onward-ever onward
that cohort, sweeps. But one of the weak
lings, in the very heart of the triangle,
stumbles and falls; and then another. Yet
their more stalwat brethren pause not, even
for an instant, to succor the unfortunates.
Concerned only that the line may not waver,
they furiously trample on them, as if reioic.
ing to prepare repast for the Unsuitable
spoiler. What sin have the weakings CON-
mitted? The sin of being weaklings-the
sin, of all things, which nature and man
never pardon; the sin which enrages
animals against those of their own kind,
and which drives soldiers, at cities taken by
assault, to expend their vengeance and mad
ness, not on such as, with stout hand and
stout breast, still resist. but ON women, on
little children, on the aged ON the utter de-

MAN THROWN EIGHTY FEET INTO fHE
AIR-HIs HEAD AND SHOULDERS CRUSHED.
The Appleton Crescent gives an account
of the killing of Christian Trusse'l in the
woods, in Dale, Outagamic county, by the
most singular and terrific accident az fol-
lows:
81 1t appears that a party of men were in
the woods with him cutting a fallow, and
where they were chopping, two large trees
had been felled-one across the other-the
one on top balancing nearly. The man who
was killed was chopping near these trees,
and another party having large tree about
ready to come down, hailed him to look out
when he ran and stood ON the top of the
balancing tree 10 see the other come down.
The men then brought the tree to the ground.
which struck the other end of the tree on
which Trussell was standing, and the ire
mendous weight of it coming upon the spring
lever, threw him like shell into the air nm,
ward of eighty feet. In coming down one
of his legs from his knee to his hip was
shattered to atoms, and the back of his head
was stove in. He came down head first
He was taken up with some life in him, but
soon expired.

A Lover Jammed--Rich Thing.


The Detroit Union relates the following
rich incident:
1t is seldom that the disciples of Lothario
or Don Juan, in their attempt at intrigue,
get Oft scot free We have few facts for
readers to-day which are in every way wor
thy of perusal In spite Of the most desper
ate attempts of the victim in this case to
hush the affair up, it has leaked out, the
lady heroine thinking it decidedly " too good
to be lost"
About ten days since public ball was
held in the Seventh Ward, at which fair
domino attended. The attention of one of
the irrehressible of the other sex, who, OBJ
tanning her-consent, danced almost the en-.
tire programme with her, and under the
influence of a few glasses of lager, became
violently and amaterially enthused. When
the s. wee short hours ayont the twal' ar.
rived, the lady suggested the propriety of
seeking the paternal home, and as the sweet
and hallowed talk seemed to present an op-
portunity for the declaration of his absorb
ing passion, the gentleman accorded with
the suggestion. Frequently was the attempt
made during the journey to place his arm
around his fair inamorata's tapering waist,
but at each essay the courage oozed out at
his fingers ends. AT the gate the lady dis
mlsseu ner escort, thanking MIN Tor MS COM
pany but he declined the discharge, assert
ing boldly that he should not leave till the
door closed upon him and his charge The
front door was tried, but found to be bolted;
the lady then went to the side door, and
without her knowledge her adoring Juan
followed. While she was disrobing herself,
inside the room, of her street apparel, he
pushed the door in and put in his head, de-
termined to die in the last ditch" in the
effort to procure from her an acknowledge
ment of the probable return of his devour-
ing passion. And now comes our sorrowful
sequel. Just, when his neck was favorable
for the movement the lady banged to the
door, holding the luckless wight close be-
tween the door and the jam, and seriously
impeding the free passage of the breath of
life. He yelled and howled, begged for
mercy in stentorian tones, but the lady
would not relent. His screams aroused the
paternal progenitor, who arrived upon the
scene, and seeing the situation of affairs, told
his daughter to hang on to the scoundrel,
while from the outside he applied some most
efficacious arguments made up of thick sole
leather. The punishment continued till the
infictors were exhausted and the recipient
half dead, when he was permitted to depart.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Lacon I'LL J
Home journal writes that there is living in
the vicinity of Spoon River, in that State,
child which was born and has lived five
years without head He states the facts
of the case as follows: Mrs. the
mother, is the widow of soldier, formerly
living in Marshall county,, who enlisted in
the sixty fifth or Scotch Regiment, and was
killed at the battle of Lexington, Mo- She
was standing beside her husband during the
engagement, when cannon ball carried
his head completely away, his body falling
into her arms and covering her with blood.
The shock affected her greatly, and when,
seven months afterward, her child was born,
there was not the semblance of head about
it. The limbs are perfectly developed, the
shoulders where the head and neck should be,
smoothly rounded off. But the most sur
prsing thing of all is that the face is sit
uated in its breast. OF course, there being
no neck, the power of turning its head is
wanting, except as the whole body is moved
but this difficulty is overcome by the singu-
lar faculty it possesses of turning its eyes
in their sockets, enabling it to see quite as
well on either side as those more perfectly
formed. While the upper portion of its
body is white as the purest Caucasian, from
the waist downwards it is blood red This
strange creature, now an active boy of five
years old, as if to compensate for its de-
formity, possesses the most clear and bird
like tones ever listened to, singing with
singular correctness everything it may hear,
and its voice at this early age accomplishing
two octaves easily. Its health is uniformly
good. At the time of my visit it was Just
recovering from an attack of the measles

person, living entirely alone with her boy,

to cry aloud for mercy. Neither her tears
nor her agony could destroy her beauty, but
as the crowd admired it, it was imputed to
her as crime, and called forth the grossest
insults.
She was borne up amid her shrieks and
struggles by main force in the arms of four
men. On the scafold, it is said, she recog-
nized the strange prophet who had foretold
the various phases Of her history. but this,
of course, is mere conjecture.
Nine. du Barry, on the scafold, was wild
with terror she appealed to all around her ;
she implored even the mercy of the people,
but in vain. Seized and bound, che was
held down by main force, and in the midst
of a wild, despairing cry, the axe descended,
and all was over She was the only woman
who died like coward, for she had neither
love, virtue heroism nor religion to support
her vice, and the atmosphere Of luxury and
vice in which she had existed, had debased
her woman's nature, and as she had dis
graeed the throne, SO she disgraced the

HAsTY MARRIAGE OF A DIVORCED HUS-
BAND-HIs FORMER WIFE Acrs AS BRIDES
MAID.-We yesterday announced the mar.
riage Of one DR.. Wight to a Miss Cham
berlain. At the last fall term of the Floyd
Circuit Court, this man Wight made appli-
cation for a divorce from his wife, the prin-
cipal witness against the wife being the
woman Chamberlain. Judge Bicknell heard
the evidence and refused to grant the di-
vorce, administering to the man Wight a
severe and merited reprimand for his pro-
ceedings in the case,
Wight, however, determined to marry his
swift witness Chamberlain, again sought a
divorce in Huntington County, where he
obtained it, the Court hearing but one side
of the testimony-that given by the woman
Cham berain. Having his divorce in his
pocket, Wight and the Chamberlain were
married yesterday.
Wight's wife is hopeless invalid
Wight married his first wife when she was
young, beautiful and in good health. She
is yet possessed of good looks, notwithstand-
ing the Affections which have lowered over
her. She was of good family and reputed
wealthy at the time of her marriage. But
after serving Wight for thirteen years she
was put away by divorce, because she was
an invalid.
At this wedding yesterday this divorced
wife stood beside the woman that was to
usurp her place-stood there like living
corpse-like smitten, withered fower-as
bridesmaid-the bridesmaid of the witness
against her in the suit for divorce; the only
witness. If she stood there volun tarily, we
have in her an example of woman's devotion
such as we never before heard of. If she
stood there through compulsion, the curse
and blight of the Almighty will follow the
husband and his new made wife formerly
his divorced wife's nurse) to avenge the
wrongs of the wretched woman.
Wight and his wife and his divorced wife
left the city in company together yesterday.
If the husband and the wife have any feel
ings of humanity left this injured woman's s
pale face will haunt them like spectre
wherever they may travel.-New albany
