A Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Transcript tells the following
story, which makes large drafts upon the
readers credulity:
A gentleman Of New Albany, Floyd
County, Indiana, respectable and per-
fectly credible man, now clerk in the
Pension Bureau Washington, was form
erly a soldier in Co. +, 59th Indiana Vol
unteers In 1852, he was stationed ut
st. Louis. Whilestationed there he was
taken down with small pox, and appar-
entity entombed. AS the soldiers tomb
was rather rapidly filled, five other cof-
fins were soon piled on his. He lay there
two and q half days, when he became
somewhat conscious, and his first feeling
was suffocating sensation. His screams
alarmed the German sentinel guarding
his tomb, who, frightened, ran, dropping
his gun, which was discharged. The
report aroused Mr.. M. still more to a
sense of his condition and awful location.
lie redoubled his screams, bringing n
rush of soldiers to the tomb, who soon
got him out and relieved him from his
terrible confinement. He Is confident
he should have suttocated in fifteen min
utes. He says that, though never con-
sciouS of his dreadful situation, his mind
was always active, and his sensations
unspeakably notwithstanding to float
through scenes Of surprising beauty,
amid strains of delicious music, such, to
use his own words, as he has never heard
since. For obvious reasons, he does not
wish his name to be published, but your
correspondent will youch for his char
Acter.

THE COLUMBUS
WOODEN Manufacturing CO.

A MONG the enterprises in our State richly
IA deserving announcement and patronage II
that OF the Columbus Wooden Manufacturing
Company. This Company was organized in
1851, when n large and substantial brick manu-
factory was erected at the foot of Mound Street,
just across the canal bridge. The capital stock
was at first $4,000. 1t has been gradually in
creased, and is at present $4,000.
For the last five or six years the Manufacturing
Company has been, as IL is now, In q fiourishing
and prosperous condition. Its business has been
extended; its facilities enlarged; its credit
goods are in constant demand and meet with q
ready sale. For this prosperous and increased
business in the Mandatory the Company and
the public are mainly indebted to ]. p. Bruck,
ESQ., the Secretary and Treasurer of the Conn

Its affairs, has managed them with singular

done in the Mandatory, 1t uses up annually
about 10000 pounds of raw wool, and makes
100000 yards of cloth annually. The goods manu-
factured are purely. of wool, and consist prinI
cipally of plain and fancy cassi1neres, doeskins,
satinets plain and plaid fiannels, blankets and
stocking yarns. These are sold at wholesale or
retail at the office in the Mandatory. H 4''5
There are in the Mandatory sets of MAJ
looms running daily The number of employees
is nfty-six, about one-half of whom are females.
The wool used is principally procured in Ohio.
some is brought from Indiana, but none from
the East The enterprise is in all respects, strict
ly q Western one.
As such, and especially as a home enterprise
Its claims upon our citizens are paramount,
while the qualities of its goods are superior for
wear and durability to those manufactured in
the East, for this conclusive reason-that they
are wholly free from cotton shoddy. So
thought and so Judged the committee on manu-
factured woolen goods at the recent state Fair,
for they awarded seven out of the nine premi-
ums, offered on such goods to the Columbus

An Aeeommo odAiing Husband.

A Northern gentleman who has for
come time been residing in Fornandlna,

whites of that section, tells the following
amusing story:

years of age, and girl came into an Of

certificate las something tangible,) and
eXhorted them To preserve that inviOlate

after, lie says, walking TO his office, he
espied this old gentleman in the street
driving the inevitable steer, and seated
In the cart alone. lie could not resist the
temptation of speaking to him. The old
gentleman WAS pleased 10 see him, and
at once told him that he was Just going
TO his office TO have his marriage certiil-

Belmont G6ronie(e
fsdol,.h Adventure.

The following from the N. Y. Tribune
Is in relation to young girl whose ad-
venture was noticed in our dispatches
yesterday morning:
Quite n romantic affair came to light
In Jersey City last evening. The story
runs as follows: Ada ID. Albert, aged IL
years, of Illinois, Q rather pretty, robust,
but unsophistlcated female, whose head
had become filled with romantic ideas,
in consequence of reading dime novels,
concluded to leave home and venture the
perils ofthe sea, under the disguise of
male attire. Accordingly on Monday a
week ago, she helped herself to S2T5 OF
her parents money and left her home
near Minneapolis, ILL.,, for New York.
Arriving at Annapolis, she purchased a
suit,of clothes, and after having her hair
cropped short, donned the new attire
She then took the cars for New York, ar
irving i'm the owl train on Sunday morn
ing. AT the foot of Courtland street, she
called hackman and directed him to
take her to hotel. The hackman ac-
cordingly conveyed her to the Hubert
Street House, kept by Thomas J. Prem
dyville. Yesterday morning, u lady in
the hotel detected the sex of the young
woman and gave information to the pro-
prietor of the house. Prendeville had u
conversation with the girl and succeeded
I'm dissuading her from her purpose, and
she accepted their advice to return home.
She accordingly assumed female attire
and last evening was taken to the Erie
Railway depot, in Jersey City for the
purpose of takingthe express train home.
After being seated in the car by Prende-
vile and others, Detective Nugent had
his attention called to the girl by per-
son who suspected something wrong.-
The officer went into the car and entered
into conversation, when Prendeville
came in again and, rs is alleged, conduct
ed himself in an insolent manner. The
officer exhibited his shield, but Prende-
vile continuing his interference he was
thrust out of the car. The girl having
considerable money in her possession,
aud the officer fearing that there were de-
signs against her, he took her TO the po-
lice station for safety from whence She
will be forwarded to her home. The girl
Is satisfied with her adventure, and eX-
presses desire to return to her home
She says, II reckon I've been u bad girl
but no harm has come to me-" During
last evening parties from New York made
strenuous efforts to procure the release OF
the young stranger from some motives
best known to themselves, but Chief OF
Police McMannus declined to deliver her
over to their custody.

PEpPER.-Pepper is an almost univer-
sal condiment. Black pepper irritates
and inflames the coatings of the stomach,
red pepper does not, it excites, but does
not irritate, consequently it should be
used instead of black pepper, 1t was
known TO the Romans, and has been in
Use In the East Indies from time imme-
rial, rs il corrects that flatulence which
attends the large use of q vegetable food.
Persons in health do not need any pep
per in their food. But those of weak and
languid stomachs, it is manifold more
healthful to use cayenne pepper at meals
than any form of wine, brandy, or beer
that can be named, because it stimulates
without the reaction of sleepiness or de-
bility.-[ Halls Journal of Health.
