THE WHARTON CAsE-WHERE GREAT CRIME,
OR EVEN THE CHARGE OLA GREAT CRIME, STRIKES
WITH CRUSHING WEIGHT.-A letter from Pitts
ton, Pa, to the New York Sun contains the toI-
lowing:
1t is not generally known that Mrs. E. c.
Wharton, the Baltimore Borgia, was reared in
this beautifully situated town, that she has
brother residing here. He is one of Pittston's
mostrespected citizens. He "a physician, with
an office in low frame building in Main street,
and his name is DR.. w. s.. Nugent, Eliza Nugent
having been the maiden name OF Mrs. Wharton.
The Doctor is a polished gentleman, about the
medium height, of spare frame, sallow COM
plexion, and coal-black hair slightly tinged
with gray. He wears moustache and side
whiskers. He rides out in peculiar old fash
ioned buggy, very dilapidated, and with I'M
mense wooden springs. He is widower with
an only child, Miss Minnie, charming girl of
eighteen. Mrs. Wharton spent about three
months of the Spring and early summer at his
pleaaaDt home, revisting the delightful scenes
of her youth in the fsr-famod Valley of the
Wyoming.
She is described here as q most accomplished
lady, who had a kind word and genial smile
for everybody and whom everybody liked /;
and the story of the hideOus crime charged
against her fell upon the community like
thunderbolt. The inhabitants of Pittston say
that she is the very last one they would have
belief in her innocence seems to be firmly es-
tablished. When the news first promui-
gated every effort was made to keep 1t from the
ears of her brother and niece, and powerful in
luence was brought to bear to prevent any
publication of the story in the local weekly
newspapers 1t is fine con mmentary on the
esteem in which Mr.. Nugent is held by his fell
low-citizens, when l say that single word
bearing upon the crime charged against Mrs
Wharton has ever been made public by means
of the newspapers in this region.
When, stimulated by curiosity, the unhappy
man at last became aware Of the terrible tale
md was about to succomb to the blow, his kind
neighbors interviewed, and by showering uren
him their sympathy and persuading him nat
the published accounts were sensational and
garbled, robbed it of such force. 1t has added
ten years to his life. Before, he was bright
vivacious, and an interesting gconversationalists,
now he is nervous, sad and reserved. His
daughter was totally Frustrated by the great
af1iction, and for nearly six weeks her life was in
peril; but she is slowly recovering. She is but
a shadow of her former self. 81 cannot talk of
it cannottalll of it, said the Doctor to the San
correspondent. 81 don't know what to say. 1t
is one of those terrible blows which fall upon
few men, and never but once in lifetime.

life in u Tomb.

In Iowa resides James I. Anderson, aged 25.
Three years ago he died from his neck down
ward. His head, however, is alive and more
vigorous and active than before the body which
it once governed ceased to be vital. At the age
of two, James's father died, and his mother
soon married again. At the age of three he
was tossed several times by an angry COW.
Shortly afterward, while he was eating bread
and milk, rattlesnake joined him, and when
the two had finished, his snakeship made his
bow and retired. At five years old q horse ran
away with him, and made for stable, across
the entrance of which was bar. The horse
rushed in under the bar and his mother seized
him just in time to save his life. He grew up
active and strong, and was fond Of sports. He
became good gymnast.
James. at the time of the accident that left
him with dead body and living head, was
fine, handsome young man. He weighed two
hundred pounds, and there was not super
fuous ounce of flesh on his body
One afternoon, when on a visit to an uncle
at Glenwood Iowa, he was exercising on pole
placed from tree to another in the back
yard. lie had or pair of CATERS, tipped with
patent leather. He swung down from the pole
by his feet the leather slipped and he fell.
He struck his neck just where it joins the
shoulders.
He was bewildered, but perfectly conscious.
His body felt as though smashed to jelly. He
experienced horrible tingling and when
the doctor came he told him not to touch him,
as his body broken to pieces. His neck
was broken, inflammation set in, and all thought
his end was come. To the surprise of all, in a
few days he began to mend. lie was shortly
after removed to his step-father's house, where
he still resides.
Time hung heavily on his hands, and he re-
solved to learn to write with his mouth. He
accomplished this, and, as he says in letter
to Mr.. J. x. Nutting, he soon wrote tolerablv
good mouth. He is now trying to paint, and
hopes by this means to earn something for his
support. He has been, and still is, tenderly
cared for by his sister, herself cripple. and
speaks in the highest terms of his step-father,
who, though poor man, has shown him every
kindness.
His worst enemies are the flies which buzz
about his face. He holds leafy twig in his
mouth, however, and manages to twirl it about
in wonderful way and drive off his tormen-
tors. This case is without parallel, except
that of John Carter of England, who was in
jured in a similar way, and who became

Ru.nored Cabiuet changes.

For the last week or two nearly every day has
brought its new rumors of cabinet changes.
First one and then another member of the cabi-
net it was said, was about to retire, and the
reasons given for the various changes were as
numerous as the gentlemen who were expected
TO take the vacant places. The latest rumor
we believe, is that the whole cabinet, with pos
sibly one or Two exceptions, is to be renewed at
the opening Of the next congress on the fourth
of March, and the first business of the senate
will be to consider the nominations which the
president will send in for these offices.
The correspondent of the New York World.
in particular, seems to have been, by a rather
singular selection, admitted to the presidents
confidence, aud knows all about his purposes
and their motive. The present cabinet has not
political Influence enough. Its members can do
hardly anything to decide the elections in their
own states, and they are thought not to be so
well agreed on various important questions as
they should be. Mr.. Fish, therefore, will give
way to Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Creswell to Mr. Forney,
Mr.. Robson to General Hawley or Ex-Governor
Jewell of Connecticut, Mr.. Boutwell, to Mr.. Nor
gan Of New York, and so on. The New York
ASiaiu Pteulcts ds sweeping cuauges, ana auus
that the president is to be saved the trouble of
selecting the new incumbents, with the proba-
biity Of mistakes if ne trusted to his individual
Judgment, by a congressional caucus, which
will take the business off his hands, and recon-
mend to him an entire new cabinet, all ready
made, which recommendation be will doubtless
receive with gratitude and Difference, and refer
it, without change, to the senate for final eou-
frnaton.
Correspondents of republican papers, who are
usually pretty well informed, have not been adj
mitted into the secret of these contemplated
Changes. One of them is simple enough to
allow himself to believe that the rumors grew
out OF fact that had really no political signii-
canoe. Mrs. Grant, SO this credulous cores
pondent says, had invited half dozen personal
friends of the president, with their wives to
spend each a week at the White house. Ex-
Governor Jewell was the first visitor and ex-
Governor Morgan the last, and out of these
visits the ingenuity Of the New York reporters
had eontrived the whole story Of cabinet changes,
We can hardly be expected to believe this OF
that any Washington correspondent would ven.

he had not perfectly trustworthy authority

From the State House.
BosroN, Monday, Feb. 6, 1877

BosToN, Monday, Feb. 6, 1871.
The debate in the house to-day related chiefly
10 Mr.. Bakers proposition to have railroads
furnish free passes to the members of the legis-
lature, and TO the public library matter The
former was, of course, voted down almost unan-
imously, and the vote on the other matter will
take place tomorrow. Mr.. Mason of Winchen-
don spoke in opposition. The matter of free
passes came up on the report of the committee
on railways, which recommends that the subject
be referred to the next general court. Mr. Baker
of Beverly moved to substitute O bill, which
provides that the railroad corporations shall
transport, free Of charge over their respective
roads, members of the legislature during the
term for which they are elected, and advocated
the same. Messrs. Adams of Quincy and
Towne of Fitchburg spoke in opposition to the
bill, and in favor OF accepting the report of the
committee. Several other gentlemen spoke in
opposition to the bill, and the house refused to
substitute it for the report of the committee,
which was then accepted.
Among the petitions presented to-day were
several for ten hour law; in aid of the pro-
posed railroad from Lexington to the state line
at Brookline; of Cyrus Wakefield and others,
for Incorporation as the Wakefield real estate
and building associations; of &. Z. Guild and

of the city council, for authority 10 supply the

Boston, for an act requiring more thorough ed
ucatlon on the part of those who practice phar-
macy.
In the senate an order was passed that the
committee on the judiciary consider the eXpedi-
ency of repeating sections % and &C. chapter 165,

provisions for the arrest and detention of per-
sons committing single acts of drunkenness.
The bill to amend chapter 100 of the general
statutes, in relation to liens on buildings and
land was ordered to third reading; and the
bill relative to the punishment for arson, bur-
glary, aud other offences, was ordered 10 be en-
crossed.
In the house, ineXpedient to legislate was re-
ported on the order relative to contracts by men,

ton TO the Odd Fellows association.

A little episode occurred in the Lutheran
church of Lewiston, n. Y, on late Sunday
evening, which is worth mentioning. AS the
evening service was about TO close, the pastor
took occasion to admonsh bis congregation
against attending the exhibitions being given in
the town hall by minstrel troupe, and in his
remarks denounced the show as low, vulgar or
indecent concern. 1t SO happened that half
dozen members Of the troupe were present, and
no sooner had Mr.. Brown concluded than up
jumped one of the sbowmen, who, after apollo
giving for the interruption, stated that it was
bis bounden duty then and there to deny i1s toto
the imputations made against the troupe by the
pastor. The company, he said, was proper
one, and the performance not only decent, but
entirely moral in all its appointments. More
over, said the Snowman, 81 am member of a
church myself, and know of no wrong do in
belonging to this show" Of course such di-
erosion from the usual order Of things created
an immense sensation, and various outbursts

A REMARKABLE EsCAPE.-A correspondent
of the Plattsburg Mo- Register some days ago
told this remarkable story, which happened in
Grundy county:
"a Mr.. John Andrews, popular and well-to-
do farmer in the neighborhood, had dug well
some forty feet deep, when it was discovered
that the wall was about to cave in. Mr.. An
drews gathered up an armful of short boards,
and went down a pole ladder, fastened to the
side of the well, TO lay them across the wall, so
as as to prevent the dirt as it fell from filling up
that part Of the well walled up. He had not
more than reached the bottom, as it was thought
before the well caved in, filling up to few feet
of the top. The alarm was given, and the
neighbors gathered, but all believing him dead
they returned to their homes to make arrange
ments TO come the next day and dig him out.
Mrs. Andrews and two grown daughters and
several smaller children refused to leave the
spot, and sat on log near the well, crying un-
til late in the evening, when all at once they
saw MIR. Andrews emerging from the well, COW
cred with clay and coming toward them. The
children all ran, screaming, to the house, bolted
the doors and fastened the windows, believing
it to be their fathers ghost But Mrs. Andrews
ran TO meet bin, screaming at the top of her
Voice, oh, John! Oh, John! Is that you? Is
that your When she reached him she fell faint
ing at his feet.
at seems that when he got to the bottom of
the well he looked up and saw the top giving
way, and, believing he had not time to make his
escape, he slipped under the board which he had
laid across the well, when the whole thing fell
in upon him. All hope, at first, gave way, and
he was about TO let himself drop into the water
below, and end at once his miserable feelings.
But, feeling above, he found the clay easily
crumbled, and hope revived. The pole ladder,
it seems, was still standing, and taking hold Of
