A Singular Outrage.

Dr. Bailey and his wife occupy rooms
on the second floor of building on Pine
street. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Bailey
who had been ill during the day, retired
to bed about halfpast eight o'clock, and
soon fell asleep, and while in this condi-
ton some unknown person entered the
room and cut off her hair. Mrs. Bailey
wore her hair in tresses, falling upon her
shoulders. 1t was long, dark and luxu-
RANT, and she was in the habit Of throw
ing it back upon the pillow.
In this position the hair was cut very
near to the head, and so dexterously y that
she was not awakened. The door of the
Office was Gas usual in the absence of the
Doctor) unlocked, and whoever perpe-
trated the outrage was doubtless familiar
with this circumstance. Dr. Bailey re-
turned home about 8 o'clock and at once
made the discovery. His wife, who
had been undisturbed, could give no ac-
count Of the transaction, and thus far the
Investigations have failed to throw any
light upon TtusU1le Herdid.

WOman's Rights.

A man cannot sell his real estate and
give a clear title without the consent of
his wife and her joining in the convey
ance. He may have owned million
dollars in real estate at the time of mar
riage, or may have since bought it with
his own money, yet if he wishes to sell
or mortgage it his wife must join in the
conveyance, else her inchoate right
Of power hangs like cloud over the IT,
tie.
He is liable for all the debts his wife
owes at the time of marriage. She is
not liable for his debts
Ifhis wife commits trespass, Or ap-
propriates goods not belonging to her,
her husband is liable for the damages.
Ii such acts are committed by the husband,
neither the wife nor her property Can be
held accountable.
He is compelled to support her, even
though she may be wealthy and he poor.
She need not expend penny for her
own sustenance, but can procure it on
credit and compel him to foot the bill,
even though she may be fifty times as
wealthy as he. On the other hand though
her husband may be helpless and in
want yet she cannot be compelled, though
rich to provide in any way for his support.
He may be pauper, in the poor house,
yet she cannot be made to pay the pau
per's charges.
He cannot by will deprive her of her
interest in his lands. 1t matters not how
large her own estate is, nor how needy
his parents or children (by former mar
riage) may be, she has the one-third in
terest during her life.
He is liable for the debts contracted in
her business, while she is not liable in
any shape or manner for his.

that women do not have their rights

A Dreadful Mistake.

A terrible mistake was made in the
family Of Mr.. Hertzog in Hawsvillc KY,
last week by which four persons were
fatally poisoned.
Mr.. Hertzog had purchased quantity
of arsenic for the purpose of poisoning
rats. He was thoughtless or imprudcnt
enough to place it in a bottle in a cup
board, near another bottle containing
bread soda. The next day Mrs. Hcrtzog
went to the cupboard to get some soda
to mix into pic-crust. She either did
not know the arsenic was in the cupboard
or had forgotten about it. At any rate
she made the terrible mistake Of taking
the arsenic and mixing it in her pie crust
instead of the soda.
On the same evening one of the pies
she had baked was eaten for supper.
The family consisted of five persons.
One Of the children, boy, was absent
during the meal The other four, how
ever partook of the poisoned pie, and by
the next morning every one of them was
dead. Their sufferings were dreadful,
the poison taking effect in few minutes
after the supper was concluded. The
poor wife discovered her terrible and
fatal mistake, when it was too late, for,
twelve hours later, husband wife, and
two children had ceased to live

A Dangerous Play Thing.

A lady was recently out walking, ac-
companied by her nurse and two children
near st. Louis, when one Of the latter
was missed for few moments. On being
called, he answered from little distance,
" Here am, mamma, behind the stump.
I'm playing with a big beautiful worm
I've got Il chip, and it opens its mouth
ever so wide when | touch it's teeth its
teeth with the chip"
Anxious to see the character of the
child's playmate, the two women went to
the spot, when, behold they saw rattle
snake, two feet long coiled against the
butt Of the stump, and the child thrusting
the chip against its head. The snake ap.
peared perfectly passive, not even giving
the usual warning with its rattlcs. 1t is
needless, perhaps, to say that the mother
was frightened hey ond the power of mo.
tion. The nurse quickly removed the
child, and one of the hands despatched
the dangerous playmate.

The Macon 2elcyroph says that a New
York drummer was recently arraigned
before one Of the black justices in Savau-
nah for selling goods without license
The drummer insisted that he had
made no sales. Whereupon the black
dignitary told him to prove that, but
while hunting up his proof he must leave
$50 by way of bail The drummer han
ded over the money, went out and brought
in three or four merchants, who stated
that he had sold nothing to them. After
the witnesses got through, the following
decision was delivered:
Dis court hab heard de prefxes and
dc conclusion to dis case, and decides
dat de Yankee hab left the case in doubt
and it bein de law to glib de State dc
benefit of de doubt, dc court will keep
de fifty dollars" These are facts.

THERE seems to be a chance for con-
fict between state and national authority,
as the Attorney General of California has
rendered an opinion that until the law Of
the State is changed, or Congress adopts
some legislation on the subject, that it is
the duty of county clerks to refuse to
register negroes, and he urges them to
obey the State law, at least until some
positive action is taken by Congress.

A SWindle.

a well to do farmer residing short
distance from Meadville became wido-
wer three years ago. Two years later he
became the husband of his rather gay and
festive second wife This second wife
had only recently arrived from Ohio on
a matrimonial adventure, and officious
friends secured for her this eligible match
Her entcrprising turn of mind was not
suited to the monotony Of an honest far
mers home and though comfortably, pleas
antly and even romantically situated,
she eventually prevailed on her husband
to sell the old homestead with view of
removing to the West, where she assured
him he could do much better. Very re-
Gently the farm was sold and several
thousand dollars were received for it.,
which, for safe keeping, the confding
husband deposited with his affectonate
wife. The result is-to-day the wife is
missing, and the afflicted man, with two
children, has no wife, no home, no farm,
no money, and no very bright prospects
for the future.

on the Lancaster and Strasburg turnpike,
a few days since deliberately cut off his
own legs with Ratchet, while laboriug
under religious halucination When
asked why he done 50, he replied that the
Bible said, If thy foot offend thee cut
it off, and he had done it in obedience
to the command of the Savior Surgical
aid was procured as speedily as possible,
and every effort was made to save his life,
but the loss Of blood was so great that he
died shortly after the surgeons arrived
Until the commission Of this act the young
man had never shown any symptoms OF
insanity or monomania. Before he died
he expressed regret at what he had done,
but said he thought at the time he was
doing right

Lawsuit About A Hens Egg.

In Shaler township there reside in ad-
joining houses Mrs Anna Meyer and Mrs.
Uhi,zena Mmm The parties had always
lived peaceably until lately, when Mrs
Meyer bought three hens. Suit was fol.
lowed by Mrs. Mimm, who also invested
in poultry to similar extent In due
course Of time the hens began to lay eggs
and the fruit proved an excellent addition
to the breakfast bill Of fare in each Of
the houses The women had always
lived quietly together until the investment
was made in the hens.
The tenants occupied yard in COM
mon, and the socialy-inclined chickens
would mingle with each other and were
as happy as hens generally are. The
first trouble between the neighbors was
relative to the qualifications of the hens
to lay eggs Mrs. Meyer was positive
that each Of her hens laid an egg i'm the
morning. Mrs Mimm was equally as
sured that each Of her three hens made
a similar deposit, yet in the morning but
five eggs could be found as the result of
the united efforts, Of the entire half dozen
fowls
The absence of one egg raised consid-
cradle difficulty. Each hen owner was
positive that her brood had done their
whole duty as hens, yet the sixth egg
could never be found. Each of the neigh
bors demanded three eggs every morning,
but of course, out of five their desires
could not be gratifed. Mrs. Mimm,
it is alleged was in the habit of rising
very early in the morning, and, by visit
ing the hens nests, made sure Of her
quarter dozen, leaving but two eggs Tor
Mrs. Meyer, when she would reconnoi-
tire.
If Mrs. Meyer would get up at five
O'Clock one morning, Mrs. Mmm would
be up at half-past four the next. This
thing continued, until frequently the two
women might be seen prowling about at
different hours, shortly after midnight.
Mrs Mimm had been getting up too
late for several mornings, to secure the
three eggs claimed by her, but on the
occasion referred to she had determined
to be up betimes SO had Mrs. Meyer.
The result was that both women met in a
dark corner Of the yard. Each was armed
with Il lantern. On confronting one
another they ran to convenient wood
shed, and while one seized club the
other grasped anaxe, and they threatened
to annihilate each other.
In the light Of the lanterns the tableau
was effective. Eventually they dropped
their weapons and seizing each other in
dulged in Il regular scuffle. The result Of
the matter was that Mrs Meyer called on
Alderman Taylor, and charged Mrs
Mimm with surety Of the peace The
matter will come up for disposition shortly
when we hope the magistrate will be
successful in settling the hen question
amicably.
