The Giants wedding.

From the London Telegraph, June 10.
At. the Church of ST., Martin's-in-tbe-
Fields, the lady and gentleman who daily
add to the attractiveness OF the 1.-TWO

Rooms had match of it. and were about
to be married by special license. Nova
Scotia, famous tor the production of tall
persons, had produced not only the bride,
Miss Anna Hammer Swami, but the clergy
man destined TO unite her Ia the holy bonds
of maj rimony with Captain Martin Van
Buren, Bates, the Kentucky giant. The
reverend gentleman, who is not connected
with the church In whc he was,called TO Off
ciate on Saturday, Is a man OF extraordinary
heighth, measuring some three inches over
six feet; but lac was completely .dwarfed
by proximity to the happy pair. lt was said
that this gentleman Was chosen priest, not
on account of any fanciful itnass Of stature,
but simply because he had been an acquain-
lance of his countrywOman, the bride,
before eithsrof them left Nova Scotia. We
may fairly say that there was no undue at
tempt to make an exhibition out of the cerc-
mony ia st. Martins Church. The brides
dress became her well. and there was some
thing of stateliness and dignity In the skill
with which she managed most imposing

at the altar steps. seemed 70 flow far away

Bates, the bridegroom, may be pardoned for

GOV. Brown Corn Fodder.

/ We had the pleasure this Afternoon Of Wis.
iting Governor Browns handsome residenc,
aud surroundings In this city. The prem
ises cover four acres. It Is complete "rui
In urbe." The soil Is heavily manured. anC
Its products are sufficient to afford a large
share of the support OF n considerable fam
4 lily. Besides garden, orchs ri. and vineyard
all the sweet and Irish potatoes necessasy
are raised.
But the chief object ofour visit was 20 ex-
anime a half acre of sOwed corn, now b.
ing cut and stacked tor fodder. The stalks
averaged ten feet Ia height. The Weld of
the half acre will certainly be not less than
10000 pounds Of cured fodder OF the best
kind.
The stalks are shocked on the ground As
soon'as they are cut. A stake about six
feet tall Is driven into the ground aud the
corn shocked around IL. They are tied near
the top with corn stalk, having about three
hundred pounds OF cured stalks la "A shock.
The ground was deeply plowed aud subsoil-
ed. aud ten dollars worth Of dissolved bones
was applied To the half acre. II received
one blowing. We certainly have never seen
so large an amount of forage produced upon
an equal extent of ground.
The same acre was in sowed corn last year.
we saw some Of IL left over. Yet Governor
Brown has fed two horses and portions Of
the time two cows from this half acre. We
believe that forage for five horses for the
year would be supplied from this little spot.
How unwise &c pull fodder, when we can
obtain so much better results with such d.
Unfinished labor.

TERRIBLE DEPRAvITY.

Another ofthose most wicked of all crimes
has come TO light ia Madison county, vicin-
ity of Lakeport. a man named John
Willard is charged with the triple crime of
incest. rape and abortion. The daughter is
eighteen years old, and the above crimes
were committed upon her when she was
sixteen or seventeen years old. She is now
enceiRte and charges a man at Bridgeport
with being the putative father of her child.
An officer of ChittenangO the other day
arrested brother of the girl for one of the
crimes. The bEOther was arraigned before
the Justice, when il was ascertained that the
father had forced the girl TO make the charge
against the brother. When she was told
that she need have no further fear of her
paternal parent, she told tale of injury
and suffering that made strong men vow
that Justice should be done. The father Is
now in Jail to await the action of the grand
Jury. The influence and control Of the ac-
cused over his daughter ia said TO be so
great that from a look, merely, from him,
she will 90 into commissions. She exposed
on the day of examination, ridges on her
body, which she alleged were the result OF
punishment inflicted on her by her father
to dissuade her from revealing his crimes.
The accused had been at one time an inmate
of the Utica asylum. The daughter is not
very bright, but her story obtains credence
am0ng the neighbors.-Albany IN. " Ar

A PAIR OF 1NHUMAN PARENTS.

There is probably another case of child
murder. William and Ellen Tanning are
now in jail in New Brighton. II. l., charged
with maltreating their adopted daughter,
Mamie, girl twelve years old. The parties
are English, and the child was brought 10
this country with them. They have been
in the habit of tying her up and beating her
with a clothes line, and one of them has fire.
quently held her while the other inflicted
the punishment. Last Wednesday evening
the husband, who is a large, powerful man,
returned home rather late and under the in
fiuence of liquor, and not finding the table
laid before him, asked for Mamie, who i'm
mediately answered his call. The brute
then set upon her like tiger. and taking
her by the hair, hit her several blows over
the head with a tea-cup. which he finally
broke, not. however, until he had caused a
number of severe cuts, from which the
blood ran freely. His inhuman wife wound
up the performance by throwing dish of
boiling water over the poor ehild's body,
scalding her in a frightful manner. Death
will probably be the result OF the outrage.
and the parties are held pending that event
or the child's recOvery.-Wash. Chronicle.
