that large portion of the Southern

prevent the happening of SO dire q
calamity to the republic. They have
suffered the destruction of their pro-

the death Of their sons and husbands;

and intelligence are disfran chised and
subjected to the government of igno-

The future Of the Southern States
is frightfully appalling. Experience,
for the past two years, has proved
that the freedmen will not work, and
that they expect to live by the boun-

A pious but illiterate deacon, in q

stage driver n slip of paper, upon
which, he said, were written the
names of u couple of books which he

The driver called at the store, aud
handing the memorandum. To the
clerk, said: There Is couple OF

to send him. The clerk after u care

able to make head or tailn of IL and
passed IL to the bookkeeper, who
was supposed 10 know something OF

1t was finally concluded best to- send
the memorandum back to the dea.

have sent the wrong paper. AS the
coach arrived at the village inn, the
driver saw the deacon standing on
the steps.

"No! And good reason why! for
there couldn't man in Worcester

The driver drew il from his pocket,
and passed Ii to the deacon, who tax

did so, in very satisfied tone: ..

Smart Conduct Of
Young widow.


The Providence Press relates " VI
amusing tale of young wild

last grand effort they attempted wded
to have legal guardian appointc
over her and her property, and appli
cation was made in the Court of Pro
bate To that end. The young widow
was summoned To appear and show
cause why she should not have a
guardian placed over her, and with
this necessity came her executive
abilities into play. The Press says
Learning through friend what
had taken place I'm the court room,
she at once notified her intended, and
as II now appears her afllanced, aud
before the process of the court could
be served, the parties were beyond
the jurisdiction of the town of Bris-
tol aud at comfortable quarters In the
neighboring town of Warren. At a
late hour they were joined In the
bonds of wedlock, the fair widow
selecting her own guardian In law,
and relieving the fathers of the town
of Bristol from that heavy RESPONSE
bility. After the marriage knot was
tied. the happy couple, who had out
generated the most astute among the
legal profession, and had caused a
sudden abatement of 'ye court,
quietly took their way back. the
widow being bride, add "a gallant
soldier rejoicing in the possession OF

An IOWA Divorce.
From the Dubuque Times.

From the Dubuque Times.
Indiana divorces have become so
notorious, from tile facility with
which they are obtained, and the
lack of respect with which they are
generally regarded Ivy the courts of
other States, that they have become
a by-word among all people. But
Indiana promises to have company
In the loose divorce business. Iowa
Is kindly taking rank with Indiana,
at least there is IA case which iadi-
Gates as much.
Several years ago man residing i'm
Pennsylvania visited Iowa, i'm com
pany wth his wife. lie was so
pleased with the State that he re-
solved To make IL his home. Return
ing to Pennsylvania he made prppa-
rations to remove his family to iowa.
But his wife absolutely refused to ac-
company him. She would not leave
her comfortable home in PennsyIva-
mia for the comparatively unsettled
prairies of the West. Her husband,
however, was determined To remove tn
the West, and leaving his wife came
to this State and located near Water
loo, i'm Black Hawk county. A few
years passed, property In Black
Hawk county increased In value, and
the PennsyIvanian, with the proper
~ which lie had left behind him and
that which he had acquired I'm his
new home, was accounted wealthy,
His wife steadily refused to live with
him in Iowa, and he therefore sued
fer divorce on the ground Of deser.
ton. The divorce was granted by
the District Court of Black Hawk
county.
Not long ago the Pennsylvania
died, leaving large property In
Pennsylvania and Iowa. His di.
yorced wife sued i'm the courts oi
Pennsylvania for her dover In the
estate, and recently obtained judg.
ment In her favor, the court holding
that the divorce obtained i'm Iowa
was fraud, and null. The Pennsyl.
vania Judges have not a high opinion
Of Iowa divorces.

The London Lancet SAYS :


"A boy of twelve, belonging TO
Korsk Western Russia, who used
To walk with crutch, on account OF
anehy losis of the right knee, was ON
horseback In the fields when he was
overtaken by violent storm. After
a severe clap OF thunder the horse
ran away, aud the boy, completely
stunned, fell to the ground. When
his senses returned, and he tried to
rise, he found that his right leg was
gone. His uncle, who had ridden by
his side, and his own horse had dis
appeared. The poor boy, at first
somewhat collapsed, fell asleep. His
companion, however, at last returned,
after having secured the horse, aud
on examining his nephew he observed
that the right leg was entirely want
ing. The patients shirt and clothes
were In shreds, aud burned along
the seams, and on the body We're
many scars. The boy was conveyed
10 the village i'm q cart, suffering
severely in the stump, and much
alarmed ut the hemorrhage, which,
however, soon stopped. a few days
afterwards DIR. Ragowitch found a
regular wound as usually made by
the amputaiiBg knife, surrounded
with granulations, and presenting In
the center few gangrenous spots.
The diuision had been effected by
lightning. through the superior ex
trenity of the tibia, the balella and
femur being intact. The healing oI
the wound was very rapid, and by
the use OF ordinary means. The sew.
cred leg was found on Che grass
several days nfter the accident, just
where the boy had been thrown from
his horse. It was quite dried up,
and emitted no smell, the tibia being
quite black, and stripped half down
the leg. These facts are mentioned
In the Beyi. Kiln. Woch., No. u, 1868
