Rev. DR.. Butler, the welI-known Metho-
dist missionary who established the mis-
sion of that church in India in 1855, re-
Gently returned to this country He
makes the following statement Of a re-
markable case:
In 1859 British soldier, while bearing
dispatch from one magistrate to another
in the kingdom Of Dude. passed an unfre-
auented ravine, where he Raw pack Of
wolves, and with them 4 human being,
evidently one Of their company. Imme-
diately turning back he reported the cir.
cumstance to the magistrate for whom he
was travelling. The latter forthwith mus
tered number Of coolies and went to the
place The pack of wolves fed short
distance, and sought refuge in SORT of
cave or den. Beginning TO dig, the party
soon discovered the feet of the wild man,
and, drawing him forth, succeeded in
binding and carrying him to town. DR..
Butler has seen him often since, and says
he is evidently q man, and at the time OF
his capture apparently about twenty -four
years of age.
The captured creature at first violently
resisted the attempt to put clothing upon
him, bit after while ceased to tear the
garment. He is now kept by gentle
man in the city Of Thabje y ampore, some
eight hundred miles west of Calcutta.
When first taken he was unwilling to eal
anything but raw meat, and has never
been able to speak or mako any approxi-
nation to knowledge of the alphabet.

A FATAL WATCH.

We do not believe IN dreams and super
stitions, as general thing, but once in q
while one is compelled 10 believe even
against his own will. There lately died
of malignant fever in Saginaw, yonng
man aged about twenty two years, whose
parents have for a long time resided in this
city. They are aged people, given to
odd vhims and notions, and it viii no
doubt be just as well to suppress their
names. Together with trunk, books.
papers, clothing and money which arrived
here from Saginaw last Saturday night,
came an old fashioned, English watch,
commonly known as ssbull's eye, . and
it is of this that we have q strange tale to
relate The time-piece was taken of a
widow woman in exchange for coin in
1857, while all the parties were living in
SyIviana, Ohio. William, the eldest son
of four boys, shortly after went to New
Orleans, carrying the watch with him,
and was stabbed in saioon the next week
affer his arrival A telegram was sent to
Sylviana, and the father went down and
brought back the body.
The next son, Henry. in 1852, was
killed by the falling of yard on the
schooner Atlanta, while at Sandusky, and
the Coroner there forwarded the effects of
the deceased to his parents among them
being the watch. The third son, James,
enlisted in the first company that left here.
and tented with the writer Of this for the
first three months after reaching Virginia
He had the watch until his death, which
