an embankment on Railroad street, break
ing both her horns off close at the head.
AS Mr.. Byers tells us he (Mr. B.. was in

at once got the horns. Taking the animal
to his stable, he, with the assistance Of Mr..
Gensler, veterinary surgeon, placed the
horns in their former position on the cows
head, and fastened them securely. The
horns have since grown perfectly fast and
are as sound as before the accident. In

Superstition in Cumberland Goa

Shippensburg correspondent of the State
Journal sends the following;
Mr.. EDIToR:-The following statements
are facts which can be authenticated by
this community. For delicacy's sake we
omit names. A well-to-do tenant farmer
residing one and half miles south of this
place, one morning suddenly became aware
Of the fact that his wife had eloped with
Mr., of Shippensburg. No family
troubles, seemingly loved each other pas
sionately, and had lived together for years.
The party had been absent for six weeks,
travelling mostly on foot, through woods,
and back ways, sleeping in barns, &C., in
order to avoid detection and arrest. On
Saturday evening last, it became known to
the farmer that his beloved had ceased her
wanderings, and was awaiting his arrival,
which was soon announced, and the much
troubled husband met his unfaithful
spouse, and, in q two-horse buggy, re-
turned to their rustic home. Now for
the superstitious account. She contends
(and her faithful husband believes every
word) that Mr., Of this place, by the
wonderful, strange and mysterious infu-
ences of bone (of what animal I am not
prepared to say, in the hands of Mr.,
she was perfectly charmed-infuenced
Judgment overruled; that she unhesita-
tingly left her home and husband under its
magic spell. But somehow whether said
bone became broken or lost do not know
after six weeks of wandering, sensuality,
or honeymoon (call it what you please,
the spell was broken, and she bemoaned
her situation. Whether second appli-
cation of that bone would not have had the
same effect, we are not willing to say.
