MYsterIons DIsannearnnce.

The Boston "Globe'' says: About week
ago young lady named Edith f. Wallace
suddenly disappeared from her mothers
house, and has not since been heard from.
The affair is one Of peculiar mystery, as it
is impossible for her friends to conjecture
why she left her home. On the day preyi-
GUS to her departure she complained Of
headache, and retired at an early hour Of
the evening. About nine o'clock one of
the family bade her goodnight" and she
being in her room responded, but before
ten o'clock another of the household having
ocsasion to visit the room, found it vacant.
During the intervening time a slight noise
was heard in the room sounding like the
moving of table, but it attracted no par
ticular attention.
A careful examination Of her wardrobe
indicates that she left without an overskirt,
and wearing an old pair of shoes. The
best wearing apparel remaining would seem
to indicate that she made no preparations
for journey AS no motive for fight can
be suggested, the matter is involved in
strange uncertainty, 10 which any solution,
oven the worst, would be relief TO the
young lady'B friends, who are overwhelmed
with grief and anxiety. be'rlei,s sno3

How Our Flag is Respected.

The State Department has received dis
patches from George Holt, our Consul at
Gaspe Basin, Canada, to the effect that the
captain of the Dominion cutter Stella Ma
rie, captured the American schooner James
Bliss, for an alleged violation of the Do
minion laws, and brought her into port
with the Dominion flag flying at the peak
over the American flag, which was Union
down. Our Consul protested against the
insult, but it was repeated.
Secretary Fish, when his attention was
called to it, remarked at amounts to
nothing. Some hairbrained Dominion Off
cial thinks he can make trouble by insult
ing our flag. We have become accustomed
to such insolence."
That is true, but the people will soon
wish to know who to blame for these in
suits. .....

BUFFALO LAND.

We are in receipt of this new and most
agreeable volume of over 500 pages, from
Messrs. Hubbard Bros, Subscription Book
Publishers, 723 SAMSON Street, Philadelphia.
The author is Hon. W. E. Webb, of Topeka,
Kansas, long and widely known from his con-
nectlon with the interests of emigration, and n
strikingly original and popular humorist.
1t describes the wealth and wonders, the
mysteries and marvels of the boundless West
that wild region SO much talked about, yet
so little understood, whose growth and devel-
opment seem like tale of Eastern magic. 1t
is superbly illustrated, containing no less than
ffty-thbee original and striking engravlngs,
from actual photographs and designs by Prof.
Henry Worrall, and executed (the enterpris-
ing publishers assure us) at q total cost of
over $1,000. tul onttr ngi
In short review like this, 1t is of course,
impossible to convey perfect idea of this ad-
mirable work. To any enc who has the least
touch of "the Western fever" it must prove
really Invaluable and for all classes of read
ers, without exception, it is the liveliest and
most laugh-provoking book we have seen for
many day. 1t abounds with valuable infor-
nation, the reliability of which is vouched for
by Governor Harvey, of Kansas, and others
1t fairly brims over with wit and humor, and
many Of its chapters rival Mark Twain's hap
plest style.
Buffalo Land" embraces a wide and varied
range Of topics, among them the following
Details Of great interest and Importance con-
eerning the natural features, vast resources,
rapid development, and almost Incredible

Struggle with a Mad Horse.

The Winona "Republican' of the 10th
says: One of the most distressing accidents
that has ever happened in connection with
horses, in this vicinity, befel Mr.. William
Richardson, well known teamster of this
city near Money Creek, about twelve miles
out on Wednesday last.
Mr.. Richardson was travelling through
the country with stallion attached to a
light gig or sulky, and having stopped at
the place above named to fill two or three
engagements, was abont to hitch the horse
up again to drive on, but on seeing the gig
the animal showed signs of being unruly
and disobedient. Mr.. Richardson went to
his head and was about to take hold of the
bride with his left hand, when the horse
caught him savagely by the wrist, and in
spite of Mr.. Richardson's struggle, bit him
in horrible manner.
In vain did Mr.. Richardson endeavor to
force open the mouth Of the infuriated an
imal with his right hand, but the teeth of
the horse closed upon his wrist like a vice,
cutting through the flesh and bones and
holding him with grip of iron. At the
same time the horse tried to crowd his
master under him, but one Of the thills was,
fortunately, through the harness on that
side and acted as guard otherwise Mr..
Richardson would probably have been
trampled to death.
Meanwhile the cries of the unfortunate
man for help had brought woman to the
rescue, but she was powerless to afford re-
lief herself, and accordingly started to
bring help, half mile distant, while the
fearful struggle between the master and his
wild stallion went on. At short distance
the woman met man coming along with
a horse, and she called upon him for assist
ance. The man hurried to the scene, and
upon his arrival the stallion released his
hold of Mr.. Richardson and made grab
with his teeth at the new conner, who bare
ly escaped with large piece taken out of
his coat sleeve.
The ugly beast was subdued after con-
siderable hard work, and attention was turn
ed to Mr. Richardson, who, although weak
from the awful conflict through which he
had passed, was still very brave and never
tainted from the effects of the accident. He
was brought to the city and examined by
the surgeons, who found the left arm dislo-
Gated both at the elbow and shoulder, be-
sides being so frightfully mangled at the
wrist as to necessitate amputation.

A Shocking Accident.

A few days since resident of Conn,
named Clark accompanied by his wife left
Pittsburg for Philadelphia. When in the
vicinity of New Florence the husband start
ed to go to the smoking car and it is sup
posed that when he stepped out on the plat
form he fell off the car ON to the track and
was run oyer by several trains before his
remains were discovered. Becoming alarm
cd at his prolonged absence, the wife re-
quested the conductor to 90 in quest of her
husband, but after diligent search through
the train his whereabouts could not be dis
covered. Thinking that her husband had
missed the train at some point the wife got
OFF at Altoona and waited for the next train,
but he was not ON board it. She then con-
tinued her journey to Philadelphia and on
the next morning was apprised by tele-
gram Of the terrible fate which had befel
her husband. IsFall ri Iloil9s8ui

AT CHICAGO, on Friday week the po-
lice arrested young man named Evans,
from Baltimore, on the charge of having
committed robbery in that city a short
time since of diamonds valued at $25O0
and $500 in money. Evans is young man
of good family and highly connected. A
portion of the diamonds were found in his
possession and part of them he had dis
posed of trading them off at ruinous fig
ures for horses, &c. He freely confesses
his guilt. We know another man by the
name of Evans, who got off better, but to
be sure he pocketed larger amount.

eB In tearing up the roof of the Court
House at Edwardsville, Illinois, last week,
the workmen discovered skeletons Of pig
cons piled up by the hundreds. A defeet in
the cornice enabled the pigeons to get i'm,
but they were unable to get out again.
eB- San Francisco on the 22d ult., was
shaken by tremendous explosion of 1,5o0
pounds of nitro-glycerine in the California
Powder Works, frame building near
Laguna Honda, four miles distant from,
that city hall. Six buildings were wrecked,
and hole 10 feet deep and 1876 in circum-
ference was made in the ground by the ex-
plosion. No person was injured.
NSS- The Pennsylvania Central railroad
has invested one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in saw-mills at Apalachicola,
Fla, to saw out cross-ties for the Southern
Pacific railroad. The ties are to be hewn
from cypress and juniper, and chemicals
are put in, in some way so as to render the
wood indestructible and proof against the
prairie fires of the west.
CB- The rains of the last week have pro-
duced a heavy flood in the Tioga river in
Tioga county, Pa. Dunhams boom has
broken away and three million feet of logs
have been swept off, These logs were all
the property of Fox, Weston 6 Bronson,

GB- DR.. z. Rogers appeared at a Wo-
mans Suffrage Convention in San Fran
cisco, recently with one-half of his face
shaved clean and the other half covered
with full beard. He explained his sin
gular appearance by saying that it was in
recognition of the fact that man was half
man and half woman. This novel theory,
and the fact that he was at Womans
Suffrage Convention, showed clearly that
he was insane, and he was at once sent to
the asylum for those persons who are a
little madder than their neighbors.
GS- The Boston Trapeller of the Goth,
printed an awful account of how the Hon.
Theophilus Burr was knocked down in
