LAPLAND MARRIAGES is death in
Lapland to marry maid without the
consent of her parents or friend.
When young man has formed au at
tachment to female the fashion is to
appoint their friend, to meet to behold
the two young parties run race to-
gother, The maid is allowed in starting
the advantage of third part of the
race, so that it is impossible except will
ing of herself, that she should be over
taken. II the maid overruns her sutton,
the mat err is ended; he must never have
her, it being penal for the man to renew
the motion of marriage. But if the vir-
gin has an affection for him, though at
the first she runs hard to try the truth of
his love. she will without Atlanta's gol,
den balls to retard her speed, pretend
some casualty, and make voluntary halt
before she cometh to the mark or end of
race. Thus none are compelled to mar
nv against their own wills: and this is the
couse that in this pool country, the mar
ried people are richer in their own con
tentment than in other lands, where so
many forced matches make feigned love
and cause real unhappinness.

MUssELs.-Mussels are found as ma

haunts being estuaries, in which the

their flavor, particularly in France, where
a great deal of attention has been paid
to the matter. Stakes are placed near
the mouth of an estuary, so that the ebh-

A Story OF the Wreck.

Geo. ". Howard, of Rome N. Y, will
be remembered as the gentleman who
was married ut Sharon Springs II few days
since, and was on his way TO visit u bro
ther in Pawtucket, r. J., when he lost is
bride of day by the late Metis disaster.
The next morning what was supposed to
be his wife's body was found, aud IL was
reported that her funeral would TAXI
place at Sharon Springs yesterday. The
initials, IN. A. were the same as on his
wife's rings, though it was Of different
pattern, yet he did not feel positive that
II was his wife. Being nearly exhausted
himself, and not in condition to think
much about 1t, he concluded it must be
her. Accordingly coffin was procured,
ut Stonington, and he started for the
home Of his loved one. He arrived there
Saturday evening with what he supposed
WAS the remains of his wife, hut, on open
ing the coffin at the residence of his
sife's parents, they discovered at once
that it was not their daughter. The scene
that followed can be better imagined than
described. The afflicted husband at once
returned to Stonington, and forwarded

body he had supposed was his wife, In
the meantime, his friends IN Pawtucket

by the schooner A. b. Belden and brought
to Newport, and had telegraphed to the
undertaken for description, which he
gave, and at the same time had photo

this city since Friday night was no other
than the wife of Mr.. Howard. He, 10
company with his brother, arrived here
this morning, and at once identified her.

remains of his beloved, he was deeply af-

THE VICTIMS OF WAR.-A German
newspaper presents the following very IN
teresting statistics in regard to the wound
ed of the war of lS70-7l: Out of 453
Germans wounded around Metz ninety
five and half per cent. were injured by
the Chassepot rife, two and seven tenths
per cent. by the artillery, and only eight
tcnths per cent. by cold steel. Among the
French wounded twenty-five per cent
were wounded by the German artillery,
seventy per cent. by small arms, and five
per cent. by cold steel These figures in
themselves tell very remarkable story.
Tue same paper pretrnds that in the whole
course Of the war twenty five thousand
French were hit by the German artillery,
SO that on comparing the number of
shots fired the con fusion is inevitable that
for every three discharges of German
cannon at least one Frenchman was killed
or more or less injured. According to the
statistics of the German wounded the
following proportion has been established
in an official manner: Ninety per cent. OF
men were hit among the infantry; five per
cent in the artillery, and two per cent. in
all the other branches Of the service.

SAVAGE SNAKE. The other day as a
Mr.. w. l.. Dunbar was at work in his
field he suddenly came upon hrge
black snake. fully ten feet long, and be-
fore he could step back the snake dar'ed
forward and viciously attacked him !;
rapidly coillng about his right leg, mouth
wide open. Mr.. Dunbar, after hard
struggle, succeeded in kicking it from
his leg with the left foot, when it in
.tantly coiled about that foot and leg,
and tenaciously chung to it for some
time, when Mr.. Dunbar at length freed
himself from his uncomfortable Gus
toner. The snake thus fOiled, erected
its head and struck bee line for the
woods, making hnmming or blowing
noise which could be heard for long
distance. The attack was so sudden and
unexpected that Mr. Dunbar was per
fectly paralyzed and unable to move for
some time after the snake left. He says
his hair arose on end, and the cold sweat
stood out all over hun.
