LOST CHILD RECOVERED. - The Perrys-
burg Ohio JOEracl, OF October Goth, publishes
the following:
young man by the name of Corbet, aged
about twenty years, arrived AZ this place on
tuesday, evening in search of a sister who had
lett her home IN June, 1S67 at the age of nine
years and OF whom no trace has been received
OF her whereabouts until Monday last when a
letter was received from Joseph BelyiIie of Rel
Vile Ridge, in this county, stating hat the child
was al his house. MI. CoTbet preeeedeeon w ed
neSday to Belyille Ridge, where he found the
object of his search. The sister was presented
but NOT recognized by her brother. He asked her
nshe knew him, and she replied that she thought
he looked like her brother Frank. He had
brought with him a little book that she priced
very highly before leaving home, which was i'm
medi&tely recognized when presented TO her.
Frank COrbet and his sister Emma, now IA
wears Of age, left this city "Wednesday for their
lone, some forty miles west OF Danville, Ill.
The parting Of the little girl with the family of
Mr.. Beiville is said tO have been quite a. affect

70 their house over five years ago, when Mr..
Beiville resided At ROaehton, and asked for a

having travelled by rail over several States, OF

Putting Away An Old Husband.

Inc POISONING OF barnaDas W agOner, at Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, by mercenary, hired by the
wife, is one of the most shocking events in
modern criminal history. The whole account
reads more like an incident of the sixteenth
century, when the taking Oft of an individual
whose existence thwarted the interest or de-
siTes OF another was a matter OF course. The
WAGNER case illustrates the old story of the
lack of harmony between May and December
but carried out to the bitter end, the uncon-
geniaity resulting from the disparity OF the ages
of the mated but unmatched pair, first prod1c-
ing neglect and cruelty, and eliminating
IN desire to remove the hated object by
anticipating an event which in the course OF
Nature could not have been delayed much
longer. The fact that but four or five thousand
do!lars-all the property owned by the muir
dered man-was the prize for the deylish work
wonld encourage the notion that something
other than cupidlty and dislike of the husband
had instigated the woman, but there was no
evidence given of the existence of an ''afinity.'
The testimony at the inquest Shove that every
particle of affection for Wagner on the part
OF the wife had been lost, if it ever existed
She made no secret OF her feelings, and had be-
fore others threatened to break her husbands
neck, and openly declared that she married him
only for his money. She hated the man but
loved his pelf, and therefore adopted, as she
thought, an e1lectual method for gratifying both
feelings, by putting away the one and retaining
the other. She, however, lacked the courage
to personally carry out her plan: but a ready
instrument was at hand, in the shane of a DR..
FrOeming, who undertook TO " physic - the
old husband with strychnine for the magniti-
cent sum OF TWO hundred dollars, and that
part of the arrangement was faithfully car
ried ont, the old gentleman obediently succumb-
ing after one dose from this modern Esculapian
bravo. brother of the woman also, ac-
cording to the doctors confession, engaged in
the deed, he having acted as the go-between to
settle the terms and manner of the murder. 1t
is rTesumable that had not the woman 5 cupdity
over-ridden her prudence, she would now be an
uneneumhered young widow, to whom the
few thousand dollars for which she risked
her present and future welfare, would have
given additional charms in the eyes of MANY
a bucOlic admirer, unconscious that they
were the wages of death. But when the
deed was done the pay was not forth
coming, and, in revenge, the disguised doctor
betrayed the whole affair, in which he appears
TO think he had been very much i'll used. II it
on the part of the doctor-thOugh his self-crim-
ination is altogether opposed to such a theory
the case will be worthy to rank with the most
celebrated causes that ever came under judicial
notice, and furnish theme for sensational
novel and dramatic writer's to exercise their

THE PROPENSITY OF Bows to stand on their
heads has produced one fatal case in Salem
Mass, where Edison Lewis, aged ID, while re-
versing himself in this absurd way, fell senseless
and three days after died of congestion of the
brain. We should be willing TO wager a small
sum that a circus has been recently exhibited in
Salem, for when one OF these equestrian pa
vlions of enchantment has been set mp any
where, all the boys of the vieinage are carried
away by an intense desire to break their necks
dislocate their shoulders. Considering what
fools boys are, We wonder that the mortality
among them is not greater.
