\ WILD GIRL IN GREENE COUNTY, Pa
We are indebted TO John Messenger, ESQ.,, of
Windiidge, Greene county, Pa, for the follow
ing account Of young woman, who for eigh-
teen years has been running wild in the woods
in his neighborhood. We know Messenger To
be truthful and reliable man. Every word of
his statement can be depended on. In fact he
SO enters particulars and gives names and dates
that il is impossible to disbelieve his statement,
extraordinary as it is. He writes
man living near Windrdge, had born to
him live children, four girls and one boy. His
name is Daniel Lewis. When quite young
the boy and second daughter, named Lucinda
Lewis, developed quite fondness for hunting,
| and were out nearly ali the time, roaming the
woods in search Of game. They seemed to de-
light i'll nothing 50 much as the life of hunter
and would be gone from home for weeks at a
time. After some four or five years, the boy
quit it and entered on the more industrious pur.
suits OF life butthe girl still chased Drawing her
selfmore and more from human intercourse and
restraint, she has become wild woman, flee
ing from tho approach of her kind with the
speed Of a deer.
During the early years Of her solitary life
| she used to approach her fathers house, and en-
tice the dogs to follow her, teaching almost any
| breed of dogs to become good hunters In hone
of bringing her home and to civilization her bro.
ther followed her and shot the dog she had
taken away, using every inducement to get her
to 90 back with him. But all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was twelve
years of age, she has lived this wild life, sleen
ing in the centre of straw stacks during the
night, and hiding in them during the day. In
summer she collects the store of wild and cul
tivated fruits she intends for her winter nroyi
sion. She is now thirty years old, and ia n.
wild AS the most untamed denizen of the for
est.
Mr.. Messenger says lie al one time, while on
hunting, met her in the woods. Her long blasl
hair covering her face and eyes was matted viii
: burs and leaves, and her black, flashing eve
/ made her startling picture. She remainef
perfectly still until he got within twenty feet n
, her, when she turned and fled with a sgftnes
. no man could hope TO rival.
A few days since she was seen apai.,. an,
; then had in her hands three pheasants and fou
. rabbits, but although these encountered her
she eluded every attempt TO capture her. Sb
has been out so long that she has become ner
fectly wild. Her dress is made of the skins n
n wild animals and blanket that she has take,
i from somewhere during some of her nocturn,
n predatory tours.

The Troubles at Vienna.

The old saying that troubles seldom come
singly has been verified in the recent unfor-
tunate events at Vienna Scarcely had the
grand Exhibition been opened with much
splendor when o financial crisis came that
shook values and credit throughout the
Austrian Empire, and even beyond. Indeed,
it appears by the latest news that the effect
has been much more disastrous than people
thought it would be. We learn by cable
telegram from London that despatch from
Vienna says a hundred additional failures
we're announced on the Bourse on Thursday
yet no important bank had suspended. The
failures we presume, were principally among
the stock operators, though probably in other
branches of business as WELL The protracted
panic was so serious that few of the Viennese
were seen within the Exhibition build
ing. The Viennese were occupied with
more urgent matters than sight-see-
ing. The panic had extended to the
Bourse at Odessa and had paralyzed business
in that city. In fact nearly the whole Empire
has felt the shock. Imitation and over specu-
lation seem to have been the causes chiefly
AT the same time we learn that storm Of ex-
traordinary violence had burst over the city
and damaged the Exhibition building
breaking the glass of the western front, SO
that torrents of rain fell upon large quantity
of goods. The grounds around the building
are described as being morass of mud. Then,
the Exposition had not come up to the expecta-
ton Of the Viennese. The number Of visitors
was few, comparatively, for some days past
and was decreasing Most Of those that at
tended were from foreign countries The
people of Vienna do not appear to take great
interest in the Exhibition and they have spent
perhaps, more money in preparing for it than
the event has justified. The prospect, how
ever, may improve when the goods are all in
place and the Summer tourists wend their way
to the Austrian capital.

In Professor Chandler the well known
Chemist to the old Sanitary Commission. DR..
Vanderpoel, the popular Port Health Officer
and DR.. Stephen Smith. the veteran Medical
Officer Of the old Health Department. we have
three officers whose professional and personal
reputation insures an intelligent performance
of the important duties entrusted to them.
The fourth member of the Board, Mr.. Henry
Smith, of the Police Board, has ample knowl-
edge Of the sanitary needs of the city, with
therequisite executive ability to use the ma
chinery of the Health Department efficiently.
If the new Board has failed to receive full and
proper authority for its operations under the
new patchwork charter it is likely the blunder,
like many others in that wonderful instru-
ment, will be remedied by supplementary
law. Now is the nick of time for the
new sanitary authorities to enter upon
the most urgently necessary work of put
ting the city into proper condition
to resist the assaults upon the public health

season. Not day shoald be lost while the

found in impure air and other remediable con-
ditions. Let MS see what thorough hygiene
can do towards making New York what her
admirable situation indicates-the healthest
city on the globe. This, it is believed, is sure
to result from thorough exercise of their
powers by the new Health Board To secure

THE DRUMMOND DISASTER.
The Work Of Subduing the Fire Nearly Accom-
plished-streams Of Water Still Pouring
Down the shafts-Aid for the
widows and Orphans. ~

WEsrvILLE, N s., May 16, 1873.
There is very little change the aspect OF affairs
here since yesterday. The work OF filing the
slopes has progressed steadily, and is now about
accomplished, the only remaining opening being
the pumping shaft, into which a good stream OF
water is still pouring.
The shaft was sounded this morning, and the in
dications were that the water was rising rapidly.
1t is the intention to the shaft with timber
and panking, on which earth and other material
will be placed to exclude the air and still preserve
the shaft that as the fire is extingushed
it may be utilized for the purpose oil pumping out
water from the mine.
This morning there was scarcely any smoke
coming from the shaft, but the preseace OF black
damp was very perceptible fact consid-
cred by old miners to be very favorable, as
it indicates that the fire is rapidly decreasing
and all danger of more explosions is over. 1t Ia
thought that after all the shafts are filed there
will be sufficient quantity OF carbonic acid gas in
the mine to eflectually put out the fire.
A better feeling Of security prevails throughout
the district as this assuring fact is made
known. Deep stiffness prevails in and around
the neighDorhood Nearly all the stores
in Westville still closed and very little business
is being done. The miners at the other works have
not yet resumed work. 1t is very doubtful II any
thing in the way OF mining will be done before
Monday
The President and Vice President OF the com.
pany were on the ground to-day, but nothing has
yet transpired as to their intention with regard to
future operations.
There are no new names to be added to the death
roll.

France-The Rumored Combination OF
tho Bourbon Interests.

Frahce-Tne HumOred Combination OF
tho Bourbon Interests.
1t now begins to be more and more manifest
that President Thiers with all his great
power, is likely to experience much trouble
between now and September when the Ger
MANS according to treaty arrangement, must
finally leave the soil of France. OF late there
has been much trouble in the Cabinet. The
designations of M. Goulard and M. Jules ST.
mon most Enthusiastically reveal serious inter-
nal dissenson. One report has it that the
legitimists and the Orleanists have made up
their differences that they have resolved to
overthrow President Thiers and that they
have sent trusted commissioner to Vienna
to obtain the consent of the Count do
Chambord for the nomination of the Due
d'Aumale as President, in room of Theirs.
still later report, which will be found else
where in our columns this morning, has it
that President Theirs has made up his mind
to reconstruct his Cabinet on q purely repub-
ican basis.
We are not at all surprised by this intelli-
gence. 1t has long been apparent that con-
fict between the Ministry and the Assembly
was inevitable. The Assembly, as now consti-
tuted, is strongly monarchical. Each fresh
election is taking away monarchist and add
ing republican. The tide is against the
monarchy and in favor of the Republic. Presi-
dent Theirs recognizes facts and accepts their
teaching. The monarchists in the Assembly
see the facts but refuse to profit by the les
sons of experience. Delay weakens the
hopes of the monarchists, while it strengthens
the cause Of the Republic. President Theirs
but he has also said that the Republic exists
and that nothing else is possible. This re-
modelling of the Cabinet means that Theirs is
resolved, SO far as he has power, to give the
Republic fair chance This reported union
of the Bourbonists means that under the name
and shadow of the Republic a vigorous at
tempt is about to be made to keep the door
open for restoration Of the monarchy.
It is well known that the Due d Aumale is
willing to accept the position of President of
the Republic. 1t is undeniable, however, that
the Presidency Of the Due d'Aumale would
be but a compromise in the interests Of the
monarchy. The Count de Paris, his nephew,
is the heir fall the Bourbons. After the death
OF De Chambord he will be the head of the fam
lily. From the Due dAumale as President
to the Count de Paris as King would be
simple and easy transition. President Theirs
has proved himself great fighter on grand
scale. 1t remains to be seen how he will act
in the premises. The Bonapartists are watch
ing the situation, and it would not be wonder
full if they turned the scales in their own
favor
