MR.. EDITOR

Mr.. EDITOR:
Learning that some parties have in con.
temptation ball for the benefit of the yello v
iever sufferers Of Memphis. l as citizen
would ask IL the people Of Memphis and every
other community. who have any respect fol-
the dead, will not form poor opinion of a
lowh whose citizens will not give from
principle, but must resort to the idea of dane
ing over the graves Of her dead to relieve the
suferihgs Of her living.
Certainly We should have long since done
something for the relief Of our suffering, bu,
shall we do il in this wayp A ball to pay
funeral expenses seems to me to be "a msc kery
OF all that that is pure and good in human ma
| ture
VIII not our citizens give from prinsipe
say yes, and am not one to believe that We
must meet and dance, while the groans of the
dying and the wall Of the stricken hearts
comes to us from the resting place of the
dead.
III We cannot raise money in Van Buren,
from pure principles OF brotherly love, then
better that we raise none, than by meckery
of the dead and dying.
The writer of this has near and dear ones
laid low by the fell-destroyer, and sad would
be the heart to think that the only answer to
the appeal of the suffering of Memphis was a
ball, where the jest, or song. and too often the
Bacchanalian song, come to us in the place of
the voice ofconsolaton. in the hour of sorrow
and suffering.
There is call from poor suffering orphans
in Memphis, and yet they ask our aid upon
feelings, which. should make the common
brotherhood of man one. Let Van Buren,
help her suffering sister, but not in the hour
of her woe, send the proceeds of the mockery
of her sufferings CITIZEN.
We wish to disabuse The mind of Citizen"
In one particular, that Is that the Ball IN eon-
temptation Is not a" citizen ball, A" but one
given by the order of Knights Of Pythias, to
raise money IN response to general call of
the same order in Memphis to the orders
throughout the United States.
The citizens Of Van Buren, have responded,
considering the tightness of the times, very
literally to suffering Memphis and the Ladies
have project on foot that will add censid-
cradle more to what has been DONE

EI There comes in the East India
papers a curious story of youth who
was captured in Dude while living with
and feeling very much at home with a
pack Of wolves. His habits are describ.
ed as peculiar to the wolf life he is be-
lieved to have led ever since his infancy
He walks or runs with difficulty, but gets
over the ground quite rapidly when he
uses both hands and feet. He is quite
savage when disturbed, having killed one
who troubled him since his capture. He
eats raw meat ravenously. takes fowls
thrown to him alive, bites off their heads,
and devours them almsst before they are
dead. 1t has been hoped that some one
Ia that section ofthe country might claim
him, so that something more might be
learned Of him, but at latest dates his pa
rentagc was unknown.

Of sslf-sasriHcins yoang girl Appro
pos to the subject We learn from letter
from b. Conner, In the Bloomington
(In. Paragraph, that Mattie's "parents
came from England few years ago, and
located at Tewanda. Illinois, where they
still reside. Matte has worked among
the nsighbors several years and earned
her own living, and thus acquired con.
siderable Independence Of character for a
girl in her teens for she was yet
scarcely twenty years old. Her charac
ter was marked for industry and perse
verence. On the third Of March, 1872,
she made public profession of her faith
in Christ, and was received into member
ship OF the rowanda Presbyterian church
Since that time she has maintained con.
sistent christian character, SO far as we
can judge frem outward conduct, always
attending church and bible class when in
her power. About two or three weeks
ago sue left the employment of o.
Reeves, Esq, Of Normal, without inforu-
ing any one OF her intentions further than
to simply drop a note to her parents that
she was going away. aud would write
them again soon. 1t is supposed that
she apprehended that the opposition of
her parents and friends might prevent
her going In afew days letter came,
informing her parents that she had ar.
rived at Memphis, and was employed by
the Howard association to nurse those
sick with the yellow fever. On Saturday
evening last a dispatch came to Postmas
ter Macy, OF Towanda, reporting her
death by yellow fever The Mr..
Reeves above referred to says of her;
She was resolutc and fearless, yet gen
tie ana unassuming. She was a devout
christian, conscientious in every act and
duty of daily life; saying but little, vet
evidently self confident When the ter
rible epidemic broke out in the South, she
carefully read the accounts Of its rsva-
ges, and while she Informed none Of her
desires and plans, she expressed to- a
child of Mr.. Reeves the wish that she
could 60 and help the sufferers Final
ly, having made up her mind TO go to
Memphis, she asked Mr.. Reeves for her
money, about twenty two dollars, but in
formed no one, not even her parents, Of
her Intention, came to Bloomington, and
took tho Central cars for Cairo Arriv-
Cd there, she wrote Mrs. Reeves, express
