LOST SISTERS FOUND.

The following is from the Galveston
Bulletin, of October l6:
One of the strangest incidents of do.
nestle life that ever came under our no
tice occurred on Tuesday of the present
week. The story is thus told: Mrs.
Bowen is a widow of forty,One years old
Her husband died last year with the yell
low fever. Thirty years ago, being then
only eleven years old, and resident of
Camsncha county, Alabama, her eldest
sister married and removed to another
portion of the same State This mar
rage was unhappy. The husband was
unkind The only child of this mari iage
was daughter, which was stolen from
school, and seems to have been reared in
total ignorance of her family. All that
we know of the child is that she is now
a lady of twenty-nino years, and resides
in her native State. About year since,
Judge Dean, of Bats, Dean IL Watson,
received a letter from this lady, saying
that she believed her aunt resided in Gall
weston, and that she desired to know Of
her whereabouts. After inquiring, he
found the missing aunt to be Mrs. Bowen.
The ladies. were put in communication,
and the one in Alabama assured that her
mother, from whom she had been stolen,
was dead Thus matters rested until last
Tuesday, when a Mrs. Martin, at the sug-
gestion of mutual friend, was introduced
tg-and visited Mrs. Bowen. During the
conversation that followed, it became
plain that they were sisters, and that Mrs.
Martin was the motherof the Alabama la
DIV who was stolen twenty-five years since.
Thus the two met and were recognized, at
ter an absence of thirty years, with never d

ARKANSAS.
The RumOred Murder of Congressman
Hinds-NegrOes Attack a Town and
are ReDuIsed

are Repulsed.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 24-The Republican
has a special from Little Rock, Arkansas,
which says the report of the assassina-
ton of Congressman Kinds and the
wounding of Hon. J. R. Brooks is dis
trusted. The dispatch further says the
Radical party defeated both Kinds and
Brooks out of the nomination to Congress
both were disconnected and making
canvass, arraying the negroes against the
Radical Central Committee, Rice & Co.,
and were capable of doing the Radical
party great injury. The Radicals charge
the killing on the Democrats, but their en-
deavOrs to fix it on them will be fruitless,
as the Democrats had everything to hope
from the detection of Brooks and Kinds,
which would eventually be disastrous to
Radicalism. 1t was the interest of the
Democracy to preserve their lives. 1t
was the interest of Rice & Co. to put
them out of the way. Is they were
killed then the Democrats would suffer
while the Radicals would gain. The
death of both disposes Of two dangerous
malcOntents who were the most infuen-
tial with the negroes and brings the
negroes under the control Of the Radica
| ring.
On the Doth fifty negroes attacked
Dardanneille, firing into the houses. Tit
whites rallied and drove them out. A
peace meeting was held by the whites.

CHRI0Ts CUsEOMs.

An English paper says that among the
curious local customs still prsctlced IN
Derbyshire is one which was kept up for
one hundred and forty years at Hilton
Hall. On the first day of the year the
lord of the manor of E5sington brought
a goose to the hall, and drove it three
times round the fire, after which he car
ried it to the table, and received dish of
it for his own use. This droll proceeding
was only discontinued when the manors
came under one lord. At Walsall there is
an annual adult scramble; for here a Gus
tom exists of throwing out apples and nuts
from the Town Hall, on st. Clements day,
to be scrambled for by the people. Happy
are the boys that are born in Wal
sail At Wichner, the same custom
that has prevailed at Dunmow was once in
use, and a wooden fitch of bacon still
hangs in the hall. In this case it was
John of Gaunt who instituted the custom
by arranging that the owner of the hall
should hold the tenure in virtue of his
keeping a fitch of bacon always ready for
any married pair who had been married a
year and day and would take the follow
ing oath: CLEAR We, Sir Phillip de Somer-
vile, Lord of Wychenor, mayntennOr and
