GRAD ORcHERD, KY, Sept. 20, 1868. "A
year or two since an unfortunate difficulty
occurred neal this place Mt n meeting
house, in which men named Anderson and
their friends upon one side, and the Adj
amses with their friends upon the other,
were engaged. In this fracas a man named
Simms, son-in-law of the elder Adams,
was killed, and several others ON each side
were shot or otherwise wounded. A trial
ut the time Of each party resulted in an ac-
quittal of all concerned A short time af-
ter this, az the elder Adams was returning
home from Lancaster, he was assassinated
by being shot from his buggy by some one
stationed in a church near the roadside.
The most deadly enmity has existed ever
since between the belligerents, aud many
men have been suspected by the Adamses
IA pdIiiceps crimiRiS to the murder of. their
father. Among the number accused, or
who was Thought by the Adams family to
have been concerned in his death, was n
man named Cummins, who lived near the
Lincoln and Pulaski county line, beyond
this place eight or ten miles. Threats have
been made, we learn, by the Adamses, up
on Cummins, n last night ii eliminated
most tragically. 1t seems, from what we
can learn, that two of the Adamses, togeth-
er with three or -four of their friends, went
to the house Of Cummins at night, demand
ed admission, which was refused, and there
upon Rodney Adams broke down the door,
and as he entered was shot dead. The as
saulting party then fired, killing a young
lady, daughter of Mr. Cummins, and also
shot and killed Cummins. They shot at
Mrs, Cummins, also, but missed. 1t is
not known whether any others Of the as
reported that the party took young Adams
away from the house, and carried him TO
o house on the wayside, and left HIM, and
that one of the party told the landlord that
there was a dead man, his brother, and he
wanted him 10 stay there till morning; and
after putting a pillow under his head, he
stopped down and kissed him. This Is
thought TO be young Mack Adams, the only
brother OF Rodney, except q small boy.

From the Galonh Gazette.l
The financial crisis Of 1856 dates the
commencement OF many sad tales. The
following story, related TO US last evening
by q New York detective, is a romance.
for obvious rcafons We w~ithholdithe names
OF the parties concerned. The village OF
Lyons, in the State Of New York, was the
residence, in 1857, of n wealthy retired
merchant, his wife and only daughter, who
was nj that time, Young, handsome aud &C
complished. She had been reared with
all the advantages oilove. She was ongag-
ed TO apromising young lawyer, TO whom
she was to have been married the following
winter. Disaster succeeded disaster in the
commercial world. The father OF
tho young lady in q single day was hurled
from afluence to penury. His superb
mansion, costly plate, horses, carriages,
everything was sold ut auction. He moved,
with his wife and daughter, to New York
city, where he secured a situation as copy
ing clerk in a house that one year before
would have honored his checktor $1,000
The miserable pittance allowed the father
had not sufficient to support his family.
The daughter, after numberless attempts,
succeeded in procuring a situation as SEAM
stress. She had occupied this situation
for nearly u year when the news reached
her Of the marriage of her afisnced. She
left home, father and mother.
Seven years later her father catches a
glimpse Of her. in company with her former
lover, on a train Just leaving the Hudson
river depot. Her father, who had regained
a portion Of his wealth, secured the servi-
ces Of an efficient detective who has been
engaged for three years in working up"
the case. The man TO whom she was to
have been marriedlost his wife shortly after
he was married, and either firm sorrow for
her loss or remorse for having betrayed
the confidence of his early love he became
dissipated, and. losing his practice step by
step descended 10 the occupation Of a com
ic singer in u low dance house, where he
met the woman whose life he had blasted.

Ancient RemnIns IN Wisconsin.

AANANhN ANuAhAAlD 81 WAeNNAaAhe 30
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times,
writing from Fulton, Rock county, Wis,
says:
1.-THE basin of Rock river, with its tribu-
taries, is, perhaps, exceeded in no part Of
the northwest in the interesting character
of its aboriginal remains. Without partic-
ularizing, those found q few miles above
Fulton. where the river expands into a
beautiful lake, Astounding in fish, it may
be worth while TO notice more at length the
very remarkable remains foundat what has
been termed the ancient city of Aztalan. y
This locality has attracted much notice as
one of the wonders of tho west, and exag-
gerated accounts have zone forth of its
brick walls and buttresses, its stone arches,
&c, in all of which l learn there is hardly
q shadow Of truth.
On the west branch Of the Rocky River
may be seen q ridge Of earth mot of brick
extending around three sides of ON irregu-
lar parallelogram-the river forming the
fourth side. It's length at the north end
is 631 feet, on the west side 1,419 feet, and
700 feet on the south side, making an ag-
sregate length Of 2, $50 feet, and enclosing
an area of seventeen and two-thirds acres.
The ridge is about % feet in width, and
from / to 5 feet high; the corners not rect
angular and the embankment not straight.
The so-called "butresses' are simply en-
lnrpements, about 40 feet in diameter, at
intervals, varying from 81 to % feet giving
the appearance Of so many mounds, with q
connecting ridge. Irregular masses of red
clay in the embankment, in some instances
partially baked by burning grass or straw,
have led TO the popular belief Of the en-
ploymcnt Of brick in the construction.
At the southwest corner Of the interior is
found n square truncated mound. having a
level area on the top Of SO feet wide on its
west side, and, seen from the high ground
near, has the appearance of u pyramid
rising by successive steps like the gigan-
tic structures Of Mexico" This is supposed
10 have been the most sacred spot. rs well
rs the highest. The exterior wall curves
around this pyramid, and is also protected
by two parallel walls outside the principal
embankment A similar p%yramidal eleva-
ton is found Mt the northwest corner,
while various low and small ridges are to
be seen within the enclosure, with con
Meeting rings or circles. supposed 10 be
tho remains Of mud houses.
That tho structure above described was
intended for sepulchral or religious uses
than for military defense, is made
probable by the disinterment Of half burnt
human remains from oue OF the buttresscs,
with fragments of pottery and
charcoal. Il is confirmed 10y the material
that the whole structure is commanded,
In a military point Of view, by q parallel
extending along the west side, with
arrow shot distance.

Death of Dean Mnman.

The cable dispatches announce the death
Of the Very Reverend Henry Hart Milman,
Dean Of st. Paul's, London, the celebrated
author and historian, at the age OF seventy
seven. This event is a serious loss TO liter
ature, aud will be generally regretted.
Doctor Milman was the youngest son Of
Sir Francis Milman, the physician of King
George III, and was born at London on the
10th of February, 1891. He was educated
at the academy Of DR.. Barney, the father
Of the celebrated Madame D'Arblay, aud
graduated at Brassmore College, Oxford
In 1916 he published the tragedy of Fazio,
which attained considerable celebrity.
In 1917 he entered holy orders, and be,

twelve books, in 1878; Fall Of Jerusalem, {
dramatic poem, in 1920; Anna Bolyn, tn,

1921. About this time he was appointed
Professor Of Poetry in the University o
Oxford, and became also Rector of ST
Margaret's. But fortunately for literature h

HOT SPRINGS.
The second days ride took us to o little
mining town called Hot Creek, which has
suffered the misfortune of having its one
silver mill burnt down. Hot Creek stands
at the mouth of a massive, magnificent
canon beetling with precipioes, and PIC
turesque for every foot of its six miles
winding way. A few feet from the hotel in
the valley are a cluster of boiling springs,
that bubble up from the bowels Of the earth
strongly chargedlwith sulphur and other
chemicals. The springs number eight or
ten, and rauge from the boiling point down
to as hot as you can bear it. A little
b~athing-booth and a wash-tub on the brink
show that they are utilized, and we were
told that il was not uncommon to cook
eggs and meat. in this devils laboratory.
cone Of the hottest springs is not press
ed into culinary servitude, because IL has
he quality Of discoloring all metals, includ-
ING gold and silver. A Hot Creeker has o
theory for the springs. He insists that
/ they issue from a 'brevet hell, close at
hand. The hot water takes its way down
the valley, and runs for several hundred
yards before its temperature before II be-
comes endurablo. The rushes and other
vegetation that spring up on the banks Of
this ardent creek are of the rankest texture,
and a green SO rich and deep that itisquite
a novel feast to the eye. The fact is noted
as curious, that on one side of the canon the
springs are all hot, and on the opposite side,
fifty yards distant, all cold.
INDIANS.
"At different points we observed
specimens Of two tribes Of Indians-the
Shoshone and Pah-Utes. Near Belmont
a party of Shoshonos were seated on the
sunny side of a wayside tavern, engaged i'm
playing Indian poker;a gameof which they
are extremely fond. A twittering old
squaw, with her feet encased in q pair Of
prodigious cowhide boots, appeared TO be
expert, nd she mked down the silver half
dollars with the composed countenance of
a Fourth street professional. The Pah-Utes
are Of q more wretched typo, halfnude and
half idiotic.
The Shoshones circulate through the
streets Of Austin, the men wearing Europe
nm apparel and displaying a broad taste for
American indulgence in wheat bread and
fire water. The squaws follow them around
with a sort ofabject contentment, perform
ing all the drudgery; and seemingly salts

The Yery Lntest SnalLe story.

An extraordinary snake affair has occur.
ed az Winterhoek, England. according t.
1.-THE most reliable correspondent that eyei
was, and shows how polite and peculiar the
snake can be TO lovely women. A large
snake Of the cobra tribe, about 4 feet 9
inches long, got unseen into a farmers
house, II il supposed on tho Saturday &C.
%ternoon, and concealed itself under an hAr-
monium. On the Sunday afternoon, the
children being at school, the farmer and
his wife were quietly enjoying themselves
reading, the wife sitting in front of a win
dow. The snake quietly cnwled out, got
unperceived under the woman's crinoline,
and twisted itself round her leg from the
ankle to the knee, suggesting the clue to
the proceeding in which Mamma Eve was
concerned. This position il kept for up
wards Of half an hour. The farmers wife
all the while thinking It was hor iavorite
kitten, took no notice Oft, until ut length
wishing to eject the intruder, she slightly
raised her dress for the purpose. Judge
Of her surprise on finding 80 deadly q crea-
ture twisted round her leg She sat per-
fectly still, not even looking at her hus-
band, lest she should disturb the reptile.
At last 1t uucoiled itself, and her twisted
itself about her foot. The shoe fitted loose
ly, and she softly withdrew her foot, made
one bound across the room, and called her
husbands attention TO the cause of the dis
turbance. Thesavage creature now charged
the wife, aud was only kept of by the
husband with his coat. II soon retreated,
and got under q footstool, putting out his
head as if TO threaten death 10 any one who
should approach it, A stick wGs brought
TO the farmer, who struck a terrible blow
at its head, but hit the stool instead, sbiv-
ering the stick to pieces. This exasperat-
ed the creature, which darted out Mt the
farmer, and was again kept at bay by the
coat. 1t at length retreated into the bed
room, where il was killed. 49, Court journal.

Horrible BntcherY at Sen.

An Italian vessel, the Theresa, trading
on the coast of China, was recently the
scene of a fearful slaughter committed by
coolies. The particulars of this tragedy
are as follows:
The Theresa left Macao on the 9th OF
February with 296 coolies and a cargo OF

arrived in sight of the shores of New Zea.

there. They then attacked the crew, and
in about ten minutes "A dozen sailors
(ltalians) were killed, hacked to'pieces and
fang into the sea. The second mate, who
defended himself bravely, received the con-
tents Of Il gun fired close to him by a sail
or who was forced by the coolies to com
nit the murder. The boatswain's mate
received nineteen wounds, and was put in
irons. After so days of horrible tortures

killed about AZ hours before the vessel ar
rived of the coast of China.
After having exterminated nearly the
whole of the crew, the coolies began fight
ing among themselves, and fifty of them
were killed. The victorious party then
proceeded TO decapitate the dead, whose
heads, packed in boxes, were slowed away
in the hold. The unfortunate wife of the
captain was confined between decks, and
was subjected to the most cruel treatment.
The majority of the coolies were pirates,
and we've perfectly acquainted with the use
of the compass and with the charts. They
compelled the captain TO steer for the port
OF Tim Pack. On arriving there the
Theresa was pillaged by them, and the
mandarins aided in stripping the vessel.
In this condition the vessel, abandoned by
the pirates, arrived at Macao, having on
board the remainder of the crew, consist.
