MISCELLANEOUS.
a Tale Of Awful Outrage.

One of the most shocking and horrible
events ever known to history occurred last
week in Maryland, by which the daughter of
the most prominent aud wealthy citizens of
Allegheny county has been reduced to
condition a thousand times worse than death.
AlF. Charles Deane, resident of Brady's
Mills, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. a
gentleman of education, and possessor of the
large mill aud other property in the village.
had an Ouly daughter, named Bessie, Young
lady not quite seventeen, possessed Of refine
ment aud every virtue Of accomplishment
which nature could give or money procure.
She had form OF exquisite symmetry and
grace, aud rare voice which cultivation had
trained to produce ,hc most perfect harmony
she was indeed charming singer aud belle
OF the country.
For some months past there has been
pTowling around Brady's Mills most ogreish-
looking muatto, SUPPOSED to have formerly
been the slave Of brother Ut Dir. Ucane,
living in Georgia.
This m,n>rer has lived in filthy hut at
the foot of Brajy's Mountain, with an old
woman who seemed to be mistress, mother
and hOusekeepar, all in Que. No one knew
his name, but H. the wags of the town he
was de,iguatei I)aa Scrunch.
On Monday, tie I'd Of September, Miss
BESSIE being at lone, having left school at
Baltimore, where shc was attending, on ac-
coaut Of the serious illness of her mother,
went, unacccmfam!cd, to spend the afternoon
with n ReighbUr, some distance away, and re-
turning in tue early evening around the noun
tain, sudden thunder shower came on aud
meeting Dan, was induced by him to seek
shelter in the hut.
Alas poor child; no sooner had the door
been shut, than the fendish demon seized
upon her, and, despite her piercing screams
and struggles, and in the presence of the old
witch woman, he committed upon the chaste
virgin the foulest outrage of which the HUI
man mind can conceive or man is capablc.-
lie then dragged her inseusible form out of
the hut. The cool air revived her, and again
her lips uttered shrili cry, when this savage
beast, in human shape, standing upon Ler
PROSTATE form, with the insane idea of put.
ting it out of her power to tell OF the CRIME,
crushed omen her mouth with the heel OF his
boot, aud with his hyena claws he tore the
puor girls tongue from her throat \ smull
boy, driving the cows in the vicinity, hearing
the screams, gave the alarm before help had
arrived the fend had fled. The excruciating
torture of the delicate sufferer, aud the fran.
tic anguish Of the parents, no imagination
can conceive. She is said to be in Il diving
conditOn-mOrtifcatiun having set in, aud
her invalid mother can no longer survive the
shock. Dan Scrunch is still at large Hhe
old woman was taken into custody the next
morning, and stated that the brute returned
during the night. The woods are being
secured in every direction, and he canrOt long
escape.-uurTtSJuTy Patriot and Union.

4 BackWoods Adventure.

\ Virginia banker, who was the chairman
Of noted lutidel Club, was once travelling
through Kentucky, having with him bark
bills Of the value Of twenty five thousand dol
lars. When he came to lonely forest. where
robberics and murders were said to he ire
qUent, he was soon lost, through taking u
wrong road. The darkness of night came
quickly over him, and how to escape from
the threatened danger he knew not. In his
alarm, he suddenly espied in the distance, Il
dim light, and urging his horse onward, he
at length came to wretched looking cabin.
lie knocked, aud the door ives opened by
woman, who SAID that her husband was out
hunting, but would shortly return, and she
was sure he would ch,crlully give him shell
ter for the night. The gentleman put up
his horse and entered the cabin, but with
feelings that can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Here he was, with a large sum of
money, and perhaps in the house of one of
the robbers whose name was u terror to the
country.
In short time, the man of the house re-
turned. He had on q dcer.skin shirt. bear.
skin cap, seemed much iatigued, and in no
laxative mood. AllIhis BODIED the infidel
no good. He telt for his pistols in his pock>
ct, and placed them 80 as to be ready for in
slant use. The man asked tie stranger to
retire to led, but he declined, saying that he
would sit by the fire all night The man
urged, but the more he urged, the more the
intidel was alarmed. lie teIt assured that
this was his last right upon earth, but he de-
termined to sell his life as dearly as he could
His infdcl principles gave him no comfort.
His fears grew into perfect agony. What
was to be done?
At length the backwoodsman rose. and
reaching to the wooden shelf, took down au
old book, and said:
''Wcll, stranger, if you won't go to bed l
will but it is my custom always to read
chapter Of Holy Scriptures before 90 to bed"
What change did these words produce
Alarm was at once removed from the skcptic's
mind. Though avowing himself an i4tidel,
he had new confidence in the Bible. lie
felt safe. lie felt that the man who kept an
old Bible in his house, aud read it, and bent
his knees in prayer, was no robber or murderer.
He listened to the simple prayer of the good
man, at once dismissed all his fears, and Law
down in that rude cabin and slept as calmly
as he did under his fathers roof From that
night he ceased to revIe the good old Bible
He became sincere Christian, and often re-
lated the story of his evcutiul journey, to
prove the folly OF iuiileIity.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Independence of the South.

In the New Haven Journal and Courier
We find the following news item:
'.Messrs. Ellis, Chatield 4 Co, of Bridge
port, are constructing monument, Is feet
high, for Hhe Ladies Memorial Association
OF King George, Virginia. The following
inscription IS being lettered on its base:
To the
OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS
of the
CONFEDERATE ARMY,
Who gave their lives for the South
A tribute of gratitude and respect from
The Ladies Memorial Association of
This county. Imperishable as
Granite be their fame. Let
history honor and re-
cord their deeds.
Here follows about ;Lirty names of officers
and privates."
The feeling which leads the ladies of the
South TO commemorate the daring deeds of
those who died for a cause they loved and be-
iieved in, IS one which does honor to their
nobility of character. but is it not j sad COM
rrentary upon their efforts, that the very non
Umeut which shall tell to pO,terity the deeds
OF the Southern soldier is manufactured in
the hands Of those they fought against.
Still it is n gratifying sign of the decline
Of the passions Of the war, that the conquer
Ors are now Willing to grant the conquered
the fair privilege OF recording their love for
those who gave their lives fer Southern indie
PendcGcc. and the time may come, when each
side acknowledging the vaIOr and devotion If
the other, may unite in houoring the dead
soldiers of both armies, while the living uni,
ted under the old Constitution in brotherly
love may once more, as OF old combine to
make our whole country again the glory of
the world and the brightest jewel in the dia-
dem Of Liberty Chattanooga C";oa.
