learn from distant relative of Mr..
Robert Norwood that he had confessed
himself guilty of numbering Miss Mollie
Holt, because LIE was crazed with love
and jealousy. 1t appears they have
been engaged for the past two years,
and owing to the opposition of her pa
rents she had concluded finally to dis
card him. Young Norwood met her on
the morning of the 18th, and had a
long conversation with her. She then
told him firmly that she was determined
TO discard him and marry another party
and casually remarked that she would
visit one Of the neighbor's that evening.
He treasured up this acknowledgment,
and on her way to the neighbors he
waylaid her and committed the fatal
deed already described. He was ar
rested shortly afterward on suspicion,
and has since fully confessed the crime
and acknowledged himself guilty of the
murder. He is now lodged in Jail,

A WouLD-BEs PARRIcDE eFonED.-
From gentleman residing in Healds-
burg, Cal, we have obtained the par
ticulars of an atrocious plot laid by, the
son Of a wealthy gentleman of that
place to kill his father for the purpose
of obtaining his property. It seems
that the son, a young man of about
twenty-one, would fall heir to-quite a
considerable property upon, the death
of his father. Tired of waiting for
this event to occur by natural means,
the horrid thought presented itself to
him to bring about by violence the end
which he so ardently desired. He ar
ranged the following plan: He pro-
cured for his accomplice lad about
eighteen years old, who was to do the
deed during the absence of the son. A
pistol was procured and rloded by the
latter, and given to the younger.
What arrangements had been made b.

ALMOST A CASE OF HYDRoPHoBIA.--
Mr.. James E. Rhodes had severe en-
counter with a mad dog at Vernon on
Monday morning last. A large dog en-
tered his barn as he was working, and
on Mr.. Rhodes attempting to drive him
out he sprang 1t his neck but he caught
him by the right arm just above the
wrist. Mr.. Rhodes fortunately sue
ceeded in kicking him loose. and inn
mediately proceeded to the house and
procured gun, and in returning met
the dog coming towards him. He dis
charged the contents of the gun into
the rabid brute and killed him instantly.
1lr. Rhodes fortunately wore heavy

the dog did not break the skin Of his
arm, but only made slight dent over

him, in view of his probable early de-

: An EXPERIENCE NOT WORTH REPEAT
1xG.-7Az young blacksmith of Fert
Smith, Ark, named Engelebert Shuber,
not long since discovereda a canoe lodged
on q drift-pile in the Arkansas River,
and resolved to secure it. For this
purpose he tied two logs together with
grapevines, and pushed out into the
stream, which atthat point Is very deep
and rapid. About seventy-hve yards
from the shore his craft encountered
one of those huge wayfaring logs so
common in western streams, and was
driven to peices by the shock. Shuber.
as his only chance, leaped' upon the
slippery log, and clung for his life.
A companion who saw him start out
went back to town for help, but when
it arrived it was nearly dark and a nor
'thern hurricane had set in, dashing the
icy waves over the log which was the
young mans salvation, and though his
friends attempted to reach him every
scow and fatboat which was put out
swamped at once, and they were obliged
to leave him to the almost certain fate
Of lingering and painful death. All
that night he remained upon the ICY
coated log exposed to the gale, washed
a
a solid armor of ice, and tumbled about
by the currents of the river. The next
morning it was reported in town that
he was seen on the log stiff in death /.
When they reached him however. he
was still alive, but with his face and
limbs fearfully frozen. He had been
eighteen hours upon the log.-l En-

NOVEL MARR1AGE.-AN New York cor
respondent says two novel marriages
recently came under his notice. Not
long since the head of very old bus
mess firm in the metropolis, died
Soon after the wife ofthe other member
of the firm was taken away by death.
The surviving widower, with nine un-
married children, las now married the
surviving widow. with seven unmar-
ried children. The firm is thus per-
petuated in the family, and sixteen
children are brought into one family
fold. Not long ago a very, rich. wild
over. bordering On sixty, without chill
dren married widow few miles up
the Hudson River, having thirteen
children, some of them being married.
His wife died thirty years ago, and
that time he kept aloof from society,
devoting himself entirely to business.
When, therefore, he marched into the
bosom Of q family, all of whose men,
bers endeavored to make itas agreeable
and pleasant as possible for him. he ex-
perienced the most agreeable emotions,
and became a decidedly happy man.
The other day, one Of his acquaintances
in New York jokingly asked him how it
seemed, to be surrounded by thirteen
children, all drawing support from him.
II wish to the Lord there were thir-
teen more of them," was the immediate
reply.
