| A correspondent of the Montpelier Jour.
| nal describes serio comic affair which oc.
Cured not thousand miles from White
River Junction. The writer says At
party last week, at one Mr.. Blanks, after
exhausting the ordinary games, and wanting
something new, mock marriages were pro-
posed. Accordingly names were drawn by
lot, and four couples stood up to be married,
The ceremony was performed and they we're
duly pronounced "mau and wife by the laws
Of the state and BY these Witnesses" AT
forwards they nsceltained that the man Off
ciating was a justice Of the peace, and the
parties were legally married. One of them,
Professor -, of t seminary, expects
lady up ia a fortnight to marry him, and
nearly every one involved is expected to be
married right away--ouo other gentleman
to lady from below, and they feel like
death, They have searched all the law
books and consulted authorities far and near,
and everything only proves the knot still
tighter. The justice has been ined fifty
dollars for each couple. He SAYS he is from
another county and cannot do business here,
and supposed the marriages not to be legal.
1t is certainly funny scrape, and still fun
nier by the fact that ell the parties belong
TO the supper ten." The best opinion Is
that they are legally married and can only
be divorced by the Legislature.

HOW cARLorrA BECAME INSANE

Wherever the story of the fate OF the I'M
fortunate Emperor MsximM'an mas oeeh
,o.5 an interest has been felt in the sadder
f.te If the Empress Carlotta. 1t has been
long the accepted theory OF her malady that
sLe was poisoned by deeoction from an
herb which grows only in South America,
and which produces insanity instead Of death.
IT il now stated that Gen. Lesca has been
similarly poisoned and that he is insane in
consequence. The plant from which this
terrible poison is distilled as well as the
mode of administering it, is thus described !:
The plant is the most wonderful Of Ma
lures productions. 1t resembles the century
plant in many Of its features. Like the
century plant, it is member OF the cactus
family still further it blooms once N many
wears and al regular intervals. The bud IS
large aud resembles that of the horse-chest
nut in the peculiar gluten surrounding it,
From this the natives derive the poison
The flower is of a gigantic size, and con-
taius a purple centre, surrounded by blue
and white circles. The perfume is delicious,
bu, deadly, and the natives shun its approach
as did the sailors Of old the songs oft the sirens
To inhale is sweet, but to remain IS death
The sorcerers, or medicine men, take the
buds of this singular plant, and, trst roast
ing, place them in pot with sweet oil over
fire, and dance around with strange cere'
monies till the oil and juice Of the herb MIN
gle, when they cease their strange incanta.
lions, and pour the decoction, then resem.
bling honey, into shallow plates, from which,
after the lapse Of few days, it is again
taken out ard kept in miniature jars. The
poison, when taken in sufficient quantity,
hrst places the brain in a delightful delirium,
resembling that produced by fusil oil this
is succeeded, in few days, BY an uncon'
trollable apathy, which at last eliminates in
insanity, in which the patient is at times
strangely rational, but greatly exhilerated.
This poison is not destroyed by being min
gled in yictuas before being subjected to
heat, but its Immediate effects are somewhat
deadened They are sure to appear, how
ever, in the lapse of time. This is the man
uer in which the poison is generally admin
istered.
When tn, victim is of no great influence,
and it is improbable that he can turn upon
his poisoner, the decoction is administered
in glass of wine or cup of cocoa. The
poison mauifests itself shortly, and in the
course Of week all the various phases Of
the delirium appear.

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOcENTS
CRIMINAL cARELESSNESS OF The DRl-
VER OF A WAGON.
Three Children Crushed Under the Hoofs
of a Runaway Horse.
Condition Of the Little sahsrers

Last evening, about six o'clock, there
occurred another of those terrible aeei
dents hat are so often the result Of care
leSsness. A horse attached TO q light
spring wagon, temporarily left standing
in Main street. without being hitehed,
started OF at a furious rate up that thor
~oughfare, increasing his force until he
reached the corner OF Jackson street,
down which he took at a break-neek speed.
At the intersection of Second n jack
son, the frantic animal turned to
the left up Second street, and
plunged headlOng through a crowd
of children of both sexes and of ages rang
ing from five to ten years, who were play
ing in the street. Tho first victim, q little
negro child, was struck by the fore wheel
of the vehicle, and knocked senseless, and
injuries inflicted which have been pro-
nouneed mortal. y short distance fur
Their on a bevy OF white children were col
leeted, through which the horse took his
mad way. Those who witnessed il were
paralyZed with horror, fully expecting to
see every one of the children crushed to
death; but prOyidentially only two of
them were seriously hurt-one the SOL of
Mr.. Maurice Mitchell, who resides on
Second street, above Jackson, aged about
nine years, and the other a little
daughter of Mr.. Scheflin. who
resides about a square above the locality
of the accident. Others of the children
were knocked down, but we could learn
Of none of them being seriously injured
beyond the two named.
Mr.. MitehelI's sons injuries are severe
cuts onthe head and terrible bruises on
different parts of the body. At seven
O'Clock last night il was impossible for the
attending physician to determine whether
or not the little fellows iifewas %endanger-
ed by the accident. though it was thought
there was n chance for his recovery.
The little girl was badly bruised, but we
are glad to say that no bones were broken,
and that she will be all right, probably,
! within a few DAYS.
The negro child, the identity Of whose
parents we were unable to establish, is
Thought TO be mortally hurt, having been
| insensihle since the accident.
We were informed hat the horse be-
iOnged to a man named Leyden, who
keeps a grocery on the corner Of Second
and Jackson streets. The wagon was
smashed against a lamp post on the cor
ner above where the children were hurt.
