A wild Man in the woods.

Wild Jim, the only name by which TINS
mysterious individual is known, came TO
this vicinity about sixteen years ago, since
which time he has avoided all intercourse
wifi, his felloW-men. Rumor has il that he
came from the State of New York, and lived
for a long time about the town without al
tracing attention, He is a blacksmith by
trade: is about five feet, eleven inches, OF
sandy complexion; sandy hair and whiskers,
both of Which he allows to grow 10 an un-
nsual length. He is well built, muscular,
and must weigh at least 200 pounds. Every
thing connected with his life is shrouded in
the darkest mystery, and, in fact, very little
ia known of his singular habits, since his ar
rival here. He observes most perpetual
silence, only speaking when he comea to
town 10 procure tobacco and groceries.
Mr.. Martin, the gentleman with whom he
trades informs us that he never comes IN lhe
day time, selecting the gloomy mantle OF
niSht TO conceal him from the gaze OF his
fellows. He will answer no questions, never
allows the eye of mortal to rest upon his
face and always asks for what he wants
with his back toward the person whom he
addresses. Parties who have observed his
habits saw that he IS averse 10 work; he
has been known, however, to chop and sci
wood on this island, in the winter, when ne
cessty obliged him. He recently built him
self a new log cabin, which he uses rathe
as an asylum from human VieWi thah as
place OF abode.
There must have been something darl
and dismal connected with this unfortunat
creatures life before he severed all the lie
that bound him TO companionshIp with hi
fellows. Perhaps some deed OF blood, fol
tune lost or squandered, or, more probably
some false but fair ones cruel conduC
drove this modern anchorite TO the woods
and still compels him TO loathe and shun hi
species.

wife, when he discovered that he had left
his visiting cards. He told his footman, re-
Gently come into his service, to go TO the
mantel-piece in his sitting room and bring
the cards he should sac there. The servant
did as he was told, retained the articles to be

gentleman, sending in the footman with
cards whenever the mot at home" occurred.
AS these were very numerous, he turned to
his servant with the question:

An AdrOtt DOdge.--NO Chance for Legal

AN ExTRAoRprNARY MARRrAeE INCIDENT

AN EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE INCIDENT
Under date of August IA, the Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times writes;
IA bridal couple were standing before the
altar to be married, Unfortunately for them.
the officiating clergyman had heard that the
Young people would in few weeks have
again TO request his services at the baptismal
font In the speech with which, according
10 custom, he opened the ceremony, he al
lowed himself to allude to the prospective
event. Then becoming heated with his
theme, he took upon himself to enact the
representative of an avenging Diety, repri-
manded the weeping biide,and wound up by
boxing her ears. Against this terrible atiront
the bridegroom demonstrated with wonder
| full meekness. His one object being to he
married, and by marriage 10 repair the past,
he said a few words to the vltuperative
priest, and requested him TO proceed Amid
The tears of the ladies Rhd the rage Of the
| gentlemen present the lite was accomplished.
! On arriving at home the bride became i'll,
and the following day was delivered of a
dead child. The thing got wind, and was
discussed In the public press, though, ol
course, those Immediately concerned would
have preferred 10 keep II secret. Upon
this, the pugilistic clergyman at once wrote
TO Conservative paper, declaring the whole
story lie, and not even condescending tc
explain how it was that such an extraordi
nary invention could have been fabricated al
his expense, AT this iuncture the young
husband,a music master, finding concealmen
out of the question, resolved upon having lh'
satisfaction possible, and brought an action
against the self-alleged innocent. At thu
hearing Of the case eleven persons took thei
oath that the blow had been given. Unhee(
ing their deposiuons, the clergyman peIsis

ferred The judges TO the evidence OF his ow
conscience and Gods knowledge of his in

CONFIRMED IN HER HABITs.-A gentle
man of excellent habits and very amiable
disposition was so unfortunate as TO have a
wife Of a very different character; IN short,
one that would get beastly drunk. Being
in company with few intimate acqualnt-
auces, one of them remarked to him, that
# she were his wife-since oil other things
had failed-he would frighten her some way,
40 that she would quit her evil habits and
proposed the following method That some
time when drunk, she should be laid IN
box shaped like coffin, and be left in that
situation until her Git should be over, and
consciousness restored.
few evenings after, the dame being in
proper state, the plan was put into execu-
lion and after the box lid was properly Sc
cured, the party before alluded TO watched,
each In turn 10 witness the result. About
daylight. next morning, the watch heard q
movement, laid himself down by the box,
when her ladyship, after humping her head
few times, was heard to say, "Bless me
why. where am II" The watch outside re-
Piled, in sepulchral tone: MADAME, you
are dead in another world"
A pause ensued, after which the lady
again inquired:
/ "Where are your"
! "Ohl I'm dead, too," he said.
"Cau you tell me how long I've beei
dead9"
"About three weeks"
'How long have you been deaeg'
-Four months"
"Well, you have been here so much longe
than have, can't you tell me a0here ca
get a Rthe gin9'
