some unknown men went into the house
of Judge Galbrailb, fired several shots
into his bed room, filling the bed with
buck-sbot. None, however, took effect
on the Judge. 1t is supposed the affair
grew out OF the fact that Deputy Sheriff

wards was found in the woods skirting
the town. She had choked the child to

Whore Is She Z

The papers of Springfield, ILL.,, are filled
with the details Of a wedding broken of, it
is alleged, through the devices of the Ro-
man Catholic nuns and priests of that city.
1t seems that a young lady, a Catholic and
q member of an earnest Catholic family,
became betrothed to q young man whose
connections were with the Episcopal
Church. She declared that, as his home
was to be hers, and his heart hers, his fate
should also be hers for the purpose of the
wedding-she would be married where and
as he desired. A violent commotion was
the consequence. Her mother and brother
entreated and threatened the priests added
their warning, She stubbornly persisted.
Her brother, who had promised to give her
an expensive outfit, changed his mind and
declared that the obstinate girl should not
have a cent. Her lover thereupon gave her
Protestant friends blank check, to be so
used by her that she should want nothing
At this juncture, more stringent measures
were resorted to. The Journal says:
1t appears, if reports are to be believed,
that the young lady received an invitation
from the Lady Superior of the Convent,
near this city, to call, as she wished too see
her. The young lady answered the invita-
ton and went to the Convent to pay her
respects to the lady superior. On arriving
at the Convent she found several of the
Catholic priests of the city there, besides
goodly number of nuns, ready to cate
chise her in relation to the offense of being
married by any one except Catholic priest.
What transpired there particularly, we do
not propose to state, but those who know
the ways of Catholics in such matters can
draw their own conclusions. 2 ..
The young lady still persisted, it is said,
inher unholy attempt to marry the man of
her choice in the church of their choice /;
but suddenly, on Thursday morning-the
morning of the wedding-it was found that
she had disappeared-disappeared from the
house, from her friends, from her lover,
from the city, without a word of explana-
tion to any one. The utmost indignation
is felt by the Protestants, who allege that
the girl has been kidnapped and locked up
in the adjacent convent or has been spirit
ed away to st. Louis or Chicago.

Singular Circumstances.

The Altoona conductor, Lyman, who
recently lost his life in collision on the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, a few
nights before the accident, awakened some
of the family at the Central Hotel, Will
liamsport, where he boarded, by his moan
ing and cries. lie related in the morning
that he had a terrible dream in which he i'm
agined that he was in a wreck on the road,
and that he was unable to save himself
from destruction. His wife, on his leaving
his home few days before, saw that he
was detected, and told him she feared
she had seen him for the last time. This
is said to be the third fatal accident that
hasvery recently occurred in the vicinity
which had been presented to the victims in
dreams short time previous to the oc-
currence. In every instance the circum-
stances of the dreams have been mentioned
by the parties, and a detection of spirits
followed.

A Gale and q Flood.

A correspondent writing from Jackson
vile, Florida, gives the following graphic
account Of terrible storm which recently
occurred there: cit first descended upon
the city in a whirlwind, which lasted about
two hours, and then became an appalling
hurricane. The rain was little short of a
cataract, and the tremendous peals of
thunder and Startling flashes Of lightning
shook the solid earth in their awful war
fare. This terrific storm lasted nearly
three days, and when it abated the Florida
coast was spectacle of disaster. \
From the mouth of St. Johns river to
Enterprise (250 niles there are very few
who have not sustained some damage. Mrs.
Harriet. Beecher Stoves place, a few miles
above jacksonville, was very little dam
aged, being situated on the side of the river
least exposed to the gale. AS we pass up
the river from Jacksonville, we see pines
and oaks, two and three feet in diameter,
torn up by the roots, while others are snap
ped off as though they were mere pipe
stems. But the spectator thinks nothing of
the mere uprooting of trees when he sees
the roof of a house resting on the water's
edge, having been carried on the gale
mile, while some Of the buildings are utter
ly destroyed. Vast quantities of pine
logs float up and down the river with the
tide, the log pins having been broken UP |;
and as we near Pilatka, small town rs
miles above Jacksonville, we find several of
the fine orange groves absolutely ruined.
Some of these brought in an income of $4,-
600 to 8 5000 per annum, and were held at
enormously high prices by the owners, a
fact to be borne in mind in estimating the
pecuniary loss in this particular disaster.
The city of Jacksonville during this time
has been blockaded, tho wind and rain hav-
ing torn up the Atlantic and Gulf railroad
in several places, stopping all comm unica-
tion in that direction, while the captains
of the steamers know that to come in or 90
out over the ST. Johns bar in such a terrific
gale was an utter impossibility. Bay street
the principle business street in Jacksonville,
is two feet under water, and, instead of hav-
ing the appearance of apace of business,
looks more like place intended for aquatic
sports, the streets being navigated by small
boys, black and white, drifting around in
dry goods boxes and on logs. Some of the
stores are two feet deep with water, and
their proprietors are in quandary, their
customers not being willing to buy goods
afloat. -.

Gy- AS an example of how fortunes have
been made in Chicago through real estate,
the following is not bad illustration /:
Some four years ago German milk-seller
thought he would move some whore out of
the city, and enjoy life and prosecute the
production of milk by himself. SO, look
ing around to find place where no one
else was, he iixed upon q couple of acres
ofland which now front on South Park, at
5ist street, and gave for the two acres $500.
The milkman thought the owner of the land
was an extortionate individual, but that
same milkman sold his two acres last week
for s9O- 400, or Shopper front foot, the lots
being $50 feet deep.

Why Did IIe2

On Thursday night a family in Clinton
Iowa were aroused about midnight by the
discharge of a gun or pistol near the
premises.
1t was thought to have been done by some
person passing, Enthusiastically or for
mischief, but a little boy insisted upon
asking, "why did the man shoot himselfP'
1t was with difficulty that he was quieted,
and after being quieted and sent back to
bed, woke up several times in alright and
repeated the question. Strangely enough,
the rextmorning the corpse Of suicide
was found not far from the house.

Another Mine Caves Tn,

The Wilkesbarre Times says: - The
Hollenback coal mines, the property of
the Willkesbarre Coal and Iron company,
situated near this city, caved in With ter
rible crash about 8 o'clock Saturday night.
These mines had been in an unsafe condi
tion for some time, and a few days ago the
indications OF. danger became so decided that
the miners concluded to abandon them on
Saturday, which they did but few hours
before the caving, thereby preventing hor-
ror not second to the late Pittston disaster.
A portion of the tools and implements were
successfully removed, but part of the mine
collapsed suddenly, filling the yet undisturb-
ed chambers with such powerful rush of
air that boxes, tools, cars, &C., were hurled
in all directions, while, fortunately, no one
was in the mine, and all further attempts
at removing them were abandoned. The
mass of the mine fell Saturday evening,
startling the city, although the occurrence
was expected.
Six acres Of ground fell at once to depth
of nearly 200 feet, presenting a terrible
chasm and creating great flssures in the
surrounding banks. Thousands of specta-
tors Immediately fiocked to the scene, not
withstanding the threatening appearance
of the banks, but no accident occurred.
The mines were nearly worked out, SO the
loss of the company is not so great as
might be imagined; but the miners employ
ed therein will lose materi ally, being
thrown out of work. 5. ~.

and don't know that things have changed
since he was boy, nearly century ago.
His words are few and carefully ordered,
and the modern term of Irregularities"
in finance he either can't or won't compre-
hend. He insists that theft and fraud and
swindling are good enough terms to ex-
press his views, and he sticks to them. l

ing "a party of four men had been out
cunning, and upon returning to town found
an itinerant Italian image peddler in the
street, who they directed to stand off a GER
tain number Of PAGES, and keep the rack
of images upon the top of his head while
they shot them off. The poor fellow pro-
tested against such procedure-cried,
begged and plead to be let of--but all to
no effect. He was compelled to stand the
test, and did SO until the gunners had shot
the last image away from over his head
Not content with this outrage, they then
refused to pay the Italian for the damage
done, and he was compelled to leave town
