A LIVING Lizard IS TAKEN FROM H
SroxAcH.-The Oregon Sentinel, pub
lished at Jacksonville, dated March ed,
learns from DR.. Osborn the following
strange facts:
Mrs. Miller, of Browntown, Josephine
county, had been complaining for six
teen years Of a burning sensation, and,
at times, an almost %unbearable distress
in the stomach. After a thorough dag
nosis, DR.. Osborn decided that there
was a living animal in the stomach. The
patient was treated for eight days on a
diet of salt. An emetic was then admin
istered, and repeated at short intervals
for three quarters Of an hour, when q
lizard and q worm were evacuated from
the stomach. The lizzard was Of the
red species, two and three quarter inches
long, nearly white, ~partaking Of the
mucus of the stomach. Our correspond
ent writes that the worm is of q species
of which he is not acquainted, never
having seen anything of the kind before.
1t is three inches long, fiat, about three
lines three twelfths of an inch in width,
and one eighth Of an inch in thickness,
jointed, and resembles a tapeworm.
Mrs. Miller is now relieved from the
buruings and all other distress Of the
stomach, and is fast recovering has a
clear complexion, and is cheerful. Mr..
H. Miller, 1.-THE lady's husband, Mr..
Thomas Carr and lady, and Mr.. NJ. Chit
wood, were present at the time the rep
tiles were vomited up.

ROUGH NIGHr.-We were informed by
Que of the police officers, this morning,
that last night was one Of the toughest
in the way of drunkenness and fighting,
ever seen in Virginia. What started
them out is something we can't under
stand. The Hotel de McGinniss had an
excellent run Of custom last evening.
One man refused to admit officer Gould
into a house where he wished to search
for Cohen, who he was in search OF, and
declared if the officer made an attempt
to come in he would kill him. Gould
caved in the door and arrested the in
mates for refusing to admit him, and for
threats.
PIpER's OPERA HOUSE,. - Everybody
will see what is to take place at the OPP
era House tonight, by referring to an
other column under New To-day. Max
wishes his friends to come out and see
what kind of q performance he gives,
Judge for themselves. We were down
last evening at rehearsal and saw all
the new troupe. As near as we can
Judge of them they will give an excel
lent entertainment. All those who
wish good seats should secure them
early, as the house will be crowded.
Those wishing to take ladies, would do
well TO secure reserved seats. AS to
the merits of the actors we can better
Judge after we have seer them perform.
SCHOOL TRusrEEs.-At the election Of
School Trustees, on Tuesday, in Gold
Hill District, Messrs. Ball, Batterman,
and Kelsey, were elected. A very good
Board but Mr.. Kelsey has sent in his
resignation to the County Superintend-
ent-his business being such that he
cannot serve. At the election here, the
evils of noncompliance with the Regis
try Law were very evident twenty
seven votes being deposited, the voters
names not being on the poll-list at the
last election.
ELECTION IN DAYroS.-The election
for School Trustees, held in Dayton last
Tuesday, resulted in the selection Of the
entire Peoples ticket. The whole num-
Der of votes cast was 2s2, as follows:

Tho Impeachment Humbug.

The New York Times says: This
whole impeachment movement is an out
rage and scandal. 1t has been set on
loot iu utter contempt Of every principle
of justice, and is prosecuted without the
slightest regard to personal rights or
common decency. Usually an impeach-
meut or Indictment of any sort proceeds
upon definite allegations Of crime; but
here it is set on foot to see If possibly
some charge of crime may not be made.
Usually no testimony is admitted but
that which is pertinent to the case, and
from actual witnesses OF the acts alleged
to have been committed; but here the
widest and most absurd hearsay is taken
as evidence, and no regard Whatever is
paid to the legal maxims which hold all
men innocent until they are proved
guilty. The whole affair is an unserupu-
lous, malevolent crusade against the
President, having its origin in political
aad personal disappointment, aud for Its
object the accomplishment Of party pur-
poses, attainable 10 no other way.

one Of the Fruits of Devotion,

lA A correspondent of the Dubuque Her
aid writing from Bremen county, Iowa,
gives the following sweet morsel:
Ten years since learned and pious
man from New England took up his
abode in this county, preaching in sea
son and out Of season, but always re-
membering the wrongs Of the niger.
In the neighborhood of this clergyman,
family resided who were more or less
under the influence, of his teachings
They having = lovely daughter, son of
this divine made love to the aforesaid
daughter. For while all things went
on pleasantly, but finally the Elder and
his family we're notified that in order TO
make things agreeable, the son must
marry the, neighber's daughter. The
clergyman begged for time, as vague ru.
mors were afloat that ga man and a
brother had been too intimate with the
young lady. No time was granted, and,
after due Seliberation, the Elder Joined
his son and the young lady in the holy
bonds Of wedlock. In a brief space Of
time the new couple we're blessed with
an heir. The Elder was about to CEN
gratulate them on their good fortune,
when to his utter astonishment the child
proved to bea free American of African
descentl' The son has since decamped
for parts unknown, and rumor has it
that the father furnished $500 for travel
ing expenses.

A Remarkable WsddinR.


The Dayton (Ohio) JourRaI is respon'
sible for the following story:
2 Tuesday morning a couple appeared
in the Probate Court and demanded Q
marriage license. When the moment
arrived for paying the fee the man was
backing out, but the woman said he
shouldn't do that, mot by any means,
aud she paid for the license. The couple
soon afterwatd appeared at Justice
Turner's office, and the woman made
known her Intentions The unusual APP
pearance of the happy couple " at
tracted unusual attention, and q large
crowd was soon gathered thsre to see the
solemn ceremonies When the couple
were again asked to stand up and face
the music, the groom again tried to back
out; and the bride seeing that there was
no other way for it, remarked that he d
got to stand it, and there was no use
talking about it. She caught hold Of the
doubling Thomas and squared him up
before the Justice, with the order for him
to " sail inph just then the query arose
as to where the fee for the tying Of the
hymenial knot was to CONS from. The
man said he couldn't stand the expenses.
The woman asserted that she had paid
for the license, and the man should pay
for the marrying He protested that ne
wouldn't, and that he'd go to Cincinnati
to work. The woman caught him as he
was slipping away from the matrimonial
moose, threw him down on the floor, and
taking some money from his pockets,
she deliberately paid the Justice his fee,
and then, holding on to her " fellsr," the
knot was tied in due form. All the
while the bride was munching peanuts,
and when the ceremony was concluded
the floor was Uttered with shells. The
bride saluted her husband with Tom,
you re q liar" Congratulations TO the
happy couple were fairly showered down,
and were characterized more for their
robu.ticity than for their delicacy and
the bride and groom left =" the presence
in condition OF jollity which foretold q
boisterous honey moon. When last seen
the smiable spouse showed her lord inte

A Father Conspires with Physician to
Tss Destroy his Child. $50


Yesterday morning, Mrs Sophia Helm
zelman, living at No. ll3 Eighth street,
appeared at the Essex Market Police
Court and related to the Magistrate,
under oath, an almost incredible, story,
of which the following is the substance: :
On the 7th day of December, 1860, a
friend of hers, Mrs, Hartel, residing in
the same house, died, leaving widower
and an infant child, seven days old,
named Katy, god.daughter of the com
plsinant. For reasons best known to
himself, the unnatural father determined
upon destroying his child, and for that
purpose sought the assistance of Mrs.
Heinzelman, who was engaged to take
care of the girl and bring her up. He
frequently told her that he wished her to
expose the child to the cold and damp
air with insufficient clothing, SO that it
would take cold an die, which the woman
refused to do. AT one time, when the
girl was sick, the father sent for DR..
Henry f. Topping, of No. II Rivington
street. who prescribed mixture which
be said would effect cure. Suspectng
something wrong, the woman did not
administer the medicine to the child, but
carried it to a chemist, who, apon careful
examination, discovered that it con
tained a large quantity Of prussic acid.
At another time, during a severe illsess,
the father sought TO give his child at
once the contents of bottle of a sleeping
potion, of which four drops was a full
dose. In this attempt, asin many others,
he was foiled by the vigilance of the
woman, who guarded her charge with
the utmost care. Despairing of ever
effecting his base design against the
child so long as Mrs Heinzelman was
its custodian, Hartel, on Monday last,
abdacted the girl from the house, since
which time her whereabouts has remained
a mystery. 1t is believed, however, by
the complainant, that the father has at
last succeeded in taking the life of his
little one. .as.e.si
