Mononaniacal.

The 0neonta, New York, Independent
says: Miss Mary Hurlburt, daughter Of
Elias Hurlburt, Of Butternuts, was found
dead in her bed on the morning of Sep
tember IL. This was the eccentric, per-
haps monomaniacal Miss Hurlburt, from
whose person DIR. Sumner, then at Gil-
bertsville, and now Rochester, extracted,
about ten years since, an incredible num-
Der of needles and pins-moro than three
hundred in number. She would never
give any account of the manner in which
they were introduced; whether she swal-
lowed them, or thrust them directly into
her flesh nor did her friends by Watching
her ever find out. They were found at
different times, working out on tho -eNs-
face of almost every part of the body, but
chiefly on the limbs. A lady who had re-
fused to believe the stories about their re-
moval, states that she went to satisfy her,
self, and saw DR.. Sumner extract nearly
fifty from one arm. The girl seemed to
be very little affected by the operation.

Texas.

An intelligent gentleman, who has
lately been abroad in Texas, as agent for
a literary institution, writes us that he did
not see lawless or violent human biped,
nor adead man, nor spot of blood, nor a
robber, nor a scarecrow, ell the way
round; nor did he see or handle single
grain Of gunpowder. He has made up his
mind that no country can excel Texas for
beautiful streams, cool, gushing springs,
great herds of cattle, great crops of grapes
and peaches, big cabbages and big crops
of corn and cotton. Everything to eat is
wonderfully abundant, and the promise Of
better times is cheering and universal.
Very naturally his inference is, that the
people ought "to spread themselves and
send their children to school," We agree
with him. Galueston News.

Now Postage stamps.

In June last Postmaster General RAN
dali advertised for proposals for furnishing
the Government with postage stamps for a
term of years. The committee Of experts
appointed for the purpose decided in fa-
vor of the National Bank Note Company,
of New York, and on Saturday last the
Postmaster-General awarded the contract
to that company for term of four years.
The two-cent stamp represents boy
on horse running at full speed, illus
tratirg the fact that this stamp is mostly
used for dispatch letters.
On the three-cent stamp there is fine
ly engraved locomotive. This is surround
ed by lines of lightning, indicating the
speed with which letters are carried on
which this stamp is used.
The fve-cent stamp has an excellent
portrait of Washington.
The ten-cent stamp has an excellent
microscoplcal copy OF the painting OF the
signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, bringing in the rotunda of the Cap
itol at Washington.
The twelve-cent stamp, mostly used for
foreign postage, has picture of a steamer
at sea. -t+..r
The thirty-cent stamp has copy of a
painting of the surrender Of BurgOyne,
hanging in the rotunda of the Capitol.
One of the characteristics of the stamps
manufactured by this company is that the
ink used prevents persons washing and
using the stamps second time. The fibre
in the centre of the stamp is broken COM
pletely, and they adhere better, while the
ink of cancellation sinks into the paper.
The engravings on these stamps are re-
markable copies Of historical pictures, and
bear the test of microscopical examination.

er Some white laborers in Maury
county attempted lately to frighten away
some darkies who were working for less
wages, and adopted the Kuklux regalia
in order to do so. The genuine riders of

the sham Kukluxes and took them to the
woods, where, after destroying their rega-
liza, they gave the leader a terrible casti-
cation with a stout strap, and then releas-
ed them all, with hints about swinging
them to limb next time.

A Distant Rela ton.

An incident occurred some time ago
at Cincinnati, on board the steamer Buck
eye, just as she was about to to depart for
New Orleans.
A tall countryman, carrying pair Of
saddle-bags on his arm, and covered with
perspiration, and who looked as though he
couldn't tell his head from bunch of
shingles, rushed into the cabin, calling at
the top of his voice:
"Whar is Colonel McIntoshl Is Colo
mel Mcintosh on the boatl"
No one answered.
"Well, then, whar is the cap'n!
must see Colonel Mcintosh"
On being informed that the captain was
on the hurricane deck our inquirilg
friend passed through the crowd in that
direction.
"Haul in the planks and shove her of ''
sounded in his ears just as he reached the
the deck.
"Stop her, Cap'n--stop her! / am not
going to New Orleans"
"Run out the plank Ashore with y you
then, quick p shouted Captain Hartshorn.
81 say, Cap'n, l want to see Colonel
M'Intosh. / must see him."
81 don't know him sir" quickly an
swered the old sea dog. "We can't wait,
sir-go ashore. Haul in the planks."
"0h, Cap'n, | must see the Kernel
he's distant relation Of mine, and new
er saw him in my life." o
Now Captain His warm-hearted man
as everybody knows The last appeal
touched his feelings, and he kindly in
quired:
"How near of kin are you to the gen.
tleman that you are seekingl"
"Why, Cap'n, he's the father Of my
first child"
"Cast off that hawser and let her CO."
were the last words heard. And the boat
and the man who was in search Of his rel
atiye wended their way to New Orleans.

A Horrible Case.

The Columbia City Post, of the 30th
ultimo, gives the details Of horrible
transaction which has recently occurred in
Whitley county, Indiana. A man by tho
name of David NJ. Long, of smith town
ship, in that county, married negro
wench for his third wife, and beat his
daughter by former marriage, girl of
sixteen years of age, until he compelled
her to marry buck negro. The facts are
thus detailed:
A white man by the name Of David M.
Long, Republican in good political
standing with his party, and who has been
citizen of this place for many years, has
been successful in gulping down the last
plank in the black and tan platform.
This monster has been a widower twice.
His former wives were respected by all
who knew them. By these marriages he
had five children-two boys and three
girls-who too, are respected and es'
teemed.
The memory of the dead and the fair
fame of the living have been blackened
by this unnamed beast, by uniting himself
to negro wench in marriage.
Knowing that he could not procure n
license in our county for such an alliance,
he takes his muscle material with him to
Michigan, where, by the laws of that
State, the twain were made one flesh.
This little victory of Republican prin-
ciples being won, he returned to his fami-
ly, with her to whom his little ones must
bow, and whom they must call by that
most endaring name, mother.
Those children, who had often in their
fond recollections for the loved in the
grave, amid binding tears, whispered that
sweet name in their prayers, now are com-
manded to forget the treasures of the
tomb. Before them stood the repulsive
form of their fathers wild choice. Her,
to call mother! There was too much of
forgetfulness toward the dead in this.
The little ones who had no one to whom
they could look for protection but their
father, whom they had never disobeyed in
the least, now for the first time declined
obedience, when, to obey, would be sac
rifee to their honor. To embrace her
and call her mothor, seemed to them moro
of the character of a punishment than
duty, and they refused, and for this refu-
sal, the eldest daughter, sixteen years of
age, was whipped and beaten by him who
claimed to be her father, until she was
literally covered with bruises. After be-
ing so cruelty beaten, she sought and
found refuge with one of the neighbors.
She was followed by her father, found
and driven home, with the threat of TAX
ing her life, should she in the least diso-
hey him.
He told her that unless she did return
to the family within fifteen minutes, he
would cut her heart out. She returned,
but to meet worse fate that death.
During her absence arrangements had
been madc for her ruin, and one Pompey
(colored) was awaiting her return with i
conveyance to take her to Michigan, where
they were, after their arrival, married.
Great excitement prevails among the
people Of Smith township, and threats Of
violent proceedings against this unnatural
beast have been made

ment, promotes sociability, and gives you

ever such thing is possible; whereas ST.

Losr Her SKIRT. Rather ludicrous
accident happened to lady passenger on
one of the cars of the John street line,
near Twelfth ST., this morning about eight
o'clock. She had just stepped from the
car, but her ample train had not yet
cleared the platform when the car started
briskly forward. The tail of the dress
caught in the cog-wheel of the break, and
before the car could be checked she was
compelled to execute a rapid backward
movement for the distance of few steps,
when the fastelings of the skirt gave way.
She was thrown down and in an instant
stripped of her outward garment from the
waist downward. Beyond the excitement
consequent upon being left on the street
in anything but full dress costume, and
the loss of the skirt, no harm was done.
