A SAD RoxAscE.-A singuIarly ronant
1cident occurred at Anaheim short time


ago, which illustrates the adage that truth
is stranger than fiction" The particulars
as we heard them, are as follows: There
lived in Santa Clara county an old man who
bad lovely daughter, accomplished and
quite young, whom the old man regarded as
the apple of bis eye, A young man. whose
parents reside in the neighborhood of Ana-
helm, behed this fair damsel and became
smtten. He frequented the house to enjoy
her society, fell in love and that love was re-
turned. An intimacy sprang up--alas! too
intimate, and the young girl fund that she
bad loved mot wisely bat too well. - The
young man left Santa Cruz county, came to
Anaheim and engaged in business. A short
time ago the girl found herself in condition
that rendered further concealment impossible
and the result was the unhappy father
obtained possession Of the guilty secret and
the name of the author of the wrong doing.
Taking his daughter with him he came to
Anaheim, entered hotel and sent for the
young man. Unsuspicious Of the object for
which ne was sent, be came and was con-
fronted by the irate old father pistol in hand,
who gave him the alternative of iinmediat tie
death or marriage 1t is needless to say the
Young man chose the latter and the outraged
father performed the ceremony on the spot
he being preacher-having first taken the
nrec iution to procure marriage license
Satisfied that the young man had made all
the reparation in his power, the old gentle
man left for his home, leaving his daughter
with her husband, who at once took his BRIDE
to his fathers house. The father of the
young man was furious at the marriage, and
the result was that the bride returned to the
hotel at Anaheim, when her father soon after
came for her and took her home, and the
young was left to deplore his loss. In
justice to the young man we should state that
it was his intention to have married the
young lady as soon as he could obtain his
fathers consent.-Los angeles Neus.

ExrRAoRDINARY Doc FIGHT-A cores
pondent of Wilkes Spirit, writing from
Lpgansvile, Penn, tells the following story,
which he says is vouched for by some Of the
most respectable citizens in that neighbor
hood The victor in this singular combat
was Jacob Karstetter, Esq. an old resident
of the county. and who is we'll known for his
unerring aim, strong nerve and great endur-
ance. lie served in the late war from be.
ginning to end, and although beyond the age
required by law, he offered his services from
pure love of adventure and patriotism. He
is man of wealth, and consequently not u
hireling soldier. But now to the fight:
He was rather rude to dog owned by a
sporting man, who told him be had better
take care or the dog would bite him. The dog
was a large ball, and.uncommnoly ferocious.
The gentleman remarked, she would bet
five dollars he could get down on all fours,
fight, and whip the dog, in dog fashion, and
not touch him with his bands" The bet was
taken at once. Down went Karstetter, who
commenced series of growls, and made a
forward motion toward the dog.
The dog. seconded and hissed on bv his
owner, at once opened the fight, neither in
timated by the unearthly growls, shouts,
snarls. and exclamations of his antagonist,
but seizing him Ly the left cheek, drew first
blood in good style. After a moment Kars
tetter got the upper hold, and changed his
base. He actually got the dog by the ear,
and shook him so severely that the dog cried
cut with terror, and after he was sufficiently
punished, his tormentor let him go. and he
made of as fast as his legs would carry him
bowling with pain.

Love, Jealousy and Alleged Attempt to
Murder.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Herald tells the following curious
story:
BaIzac, Eugene Sue, Alexander Dumas,
pere ct ills, and on your side OF the water
Mrs. Wood, Miss Braddon, and all the
tribe of sensation novelists, are very clever
indeed but they may cudgel their brains
from sunrise to sunset before they can hit
on romances more tragic, absurd, and i'm
probable than are going on from day to
day in this fair city of King Hausmann
Here is story which the town is talking
of: Count HAS for long time formed
Eaison with the Duchess de B, a
married woman separated from her hus-
band. They were very anxious to get
married, and as divorce does not exist in
this moral country, the Count determined
to get rid of the wronged husband. Duel
ing was not to be thought Of, the Duke
being fully aware of the infamy of his wife,
and being, moreover, far too sensible a
man to oblige her paramour by making
himself target for his bullet. So the
Count determined to poison the Duke, and
kill him so suddenly and so dexterously as
to prevent any suspicion being entertained.
He took a medical student into his conf
dence, and the worthy pair devised plan
by which the deadliest OF poisons was to
be artfully contained in pepperment lozen-
ges, which were to be offered to the Duke
at the bal masque by a woman in domino.
She was to be instructed to approach him
and offer him one of the 6onbonS (not an
unusual thing at the opera balls), and dis
appear and lose herself in the crowd as
soon as he conveyed it to his lips. Fortu-
nately for the Duke, the Count selected as
his instrument wellknown den,t-monde
of celebrity, who fancied that this admlra-
tion of bonJons concealed something more
than practical joke. The Count actually
offered her 10000 francs for seducing the
Duke into swallowing the " fatal drop.
The courtezan assented, and an appoint
ment was arranged at her house for the
next day to give her box of pepperment.
She communicated with the police, who
arrested the Count and the medical stu
dent in her drawing-room. The box of
prepared lozenges was found in the Counts
pocket and were on analysis found to con-
tain prussic acid The would-be assassins
are now at Mazas, and their trial will prob
ably come on in April. have heard the
names of both Count and Duke, but must
reserve them until the truth of this story
is established. What, for instance, if this
paragon of the demi-monde were to have
had spite against Count 2, and
invented the whole story? However that
may be, Paris believes in its truth, and one
of the minor papers while of course, ex-
pressing detestation of the crime, accounts
for it by the violence of the Counts pas
sion for the Duchess, and his moral repug-
nance for adultery Scandal is so much
the order of the day that there are papers
here-wellprinted papers, dear papers,
sold at published weekly, and which
contain stories which remind one of Tri-
malcion's supper. Petronius has many
representatives in the petite presse, but as
yet the Second Empire lacks Juvenal.
