a neighbor, John Hepburn, left his house

grubbing hoe on his shoulder, When they
had gone short distance they were Joined
by Robert 6oldsborotgh, whom they had
left at the, house. Goldsboroougha had a
double-barrel gun. At aEbranch near
thicket Hepburn II separated from the
above-named parties, ne going towards his
home, they towards the creek. After they
had been separated but iis few moments
Hepburn heard the report Of gun. That
was On Thursday. TGoldsborough was about
the neighborhood,I but made no4meution;
Of Marsh, and not Until Tuesday wac It:
known That he was missing. n His body was
found lying only asshort distance from, the
place where they separated on Thursday
before. He fell forward on his face, the
gig beside him, and the gun, last seen in
Goldsborough's hand lying, broken at the
breech with one barrel charged and the
other discharged, near by. The load passed
in the back Of the head the right side of
the head was blown off, and the right eye
out. The gun had evidently been broken
over his head, IS the top Iof the skull was
mashed in Search was made for Colds
borough, and he was finally arrested, and
on Wednesday lodged in Jail. Marsh is
said to have had about him $400, but in q
search after his body was discovered but
fifteen dollars could be found."", Concerning
the alleged murder, the Sussex Journal
says: .r,..,u. s4r...-, !, 49, '''TE' ~
/ "Robert Goldsborough, the alleged muir
derer, is young man who has in his veins
some of the best blood Of the State Of Ma
ryland. His father in 1859 moved to this
county from Greensboro, Caroline county,
! Md, where he was very respec tably con-
nected. This boy has been the subject of
great trouble to him for years, and will, we
fear, now bring his gray hairs in sorrow to
the grave. We trust, however, that some
undeveloped circumstances may relieve
him from the guilt Of this fearful crime"

A Balloon Voyage.

Prof. La Mountain, who has made a
balloon ascension from Ann Aarbor last
week, gives the following account in the
Ann Arbor Courier:
81 amused myself by gazing upon the
Lilliputians below, and as | occasionally |
turned my eyes upon the toy houses OF
which the city of Ann Arbor seemed
composed, the streets being barely visible
by dark lines, and the spires acting like
fingers pointing up at my departure, 1
said in my joy: How grand! How
sublime! But still found my fight was

Life in Florida.

(By Northern Invalid now living there.)
The first glimpses one gets of Florida
are not apt to be entirely satisfactory.
If, on reaching Savannah by steamer
from New York or elsewhere, you take
the night train (and | believe there is at
present no other) for Jacksonville, with
a berth in the sleeping car, you will find
yourself, on rubbing your eyes open In
the morning, in the Land of flowers"
but YOU will be likely to admit the fact
with some hesitation and a good deal OF
disappointment A single live oak gives
its name to the station where you will be
aroused to an early breakfast. Scatter
ing pines clumps of dwarf palm; coarse
grass, covering all the ground a fewlog
cabins or board shanties are all
YOU see? and it is the same all the way
to jacksonville. This region hardly
makes a part of our paradise.
IF you takea steamer for Jacksonville
which is the better way, your first glimp
ses of Florida will be its sand hills, an

ber that the average for January was 20
degrees. The other two months of the
nominal winter were little cooler, per-
haps GA degrees. At New Smyrna, on
the Atlantic coast, and near the Doth
parallel of latitude, the average of the
whole year is ~ degrees. In no part of
the state does the difference between sum-
mer and winter exceed 25 degrees, and
below the 9th parallel the temperature
is about the same the year round.
AT Jacksonville, and north and west
from there, occasional chilly northeast
rain storms occur, and the invalid should
be prepared with suitable warm clothing
for such visitations. Now and then, too,
a rough, cold wind comes down from the
northwest, rendering an overcoat COM

glorious nights tne rule. Every day in
the year you may fill your vases with
wild flowers. Even in mid-winter, you
will see around you only verdure and
bloom. The trees-that is, those which
make up the great mass of the forests are
in full leaf; the grass is green and fresh ;
the fragrant yellow jasmine hangs its
wreaths of golden bloom overhead; and
the violet, and other tiny but beautiful
flowers, nestle in the grass at your feet.
For music, you may listen day and night
to the songs of the inimitable mocking
bird.
Such is winter in Florida. The rest O.
the year is not all summer. The true
summer in Florida Is no longer than the

Old stannard's Shot.

A man from Miltin, Wisconsin, who
was familiarly known to his comrades as
"Old Stannard," was messmate of
mine in that once famous and terrible
regiment of sharp-shooters commanded
by Col. Berdan. He was well known as
brag shot" at home, and soon OBJ
tanned like reputation in the army.
After doing some hard service in the Pc
ninsular with Mcclellan, we were recall
ed to help Pope out of his dilemma on
the Rappahannock, and joined his forces
Just before that bloody second Bull Run
battle, in which occurred the incident of
which I write.
In the afternoon of the last and hard
est days fight, the rebels posted some ri
femen in the top of some pine trees that
formed narrow belt along portion of
field little in advance of their main
line. AS these men were fine marksmen,
their elevation enabled them to pour up
on us fire too CALLING to be borne with
patience, and it was soon decided that
they must be dislodged. Our regiment
was selected for the glory" We put
the order and at them we went, =" double
quick" To cross the intervening open
field was a task soon accomplished,
though we lost few men by their dis
charge. When we had gained the woods,
the odds were all on our side; for it was
easy to shelter ourselves from the fire OF
any particular one though, in so doing,
we sometimes exposed ourselves to the
fire of an unseen enemy; and, all things
considered, we did some tall jumping
and lodging in the first few minutes
