Changed Her Mind.

Among the passengers upon the stage
which was robbed last Sunday night, says
the Nevada California; Transcript was one
lady. She had passed about twenty-five
summers, and was a resident of Gilroy.
For come little time she had been CORES.
ponding with a resident of Grass Valley, a
miner, and most excellent man. The re-
suit was an engagement of marriage, though
the parties had never yet met. After the
robbery. and on the arrival of the stage in
Grass Valley, the prospective bride and
groom met, and the wedding took place.
Both were happy, and so continued until
next morning, when the bride claimed she
was crazy, and knew nothing whatever of
the marriage; that all was oblivion to her
after the robbery, except that she had
dreamed in the night that she was carried
off by the robbers. Her manner was ex-
cited; one minute she was in tears and
another in smiles. Preacher and neighbors
were called in, and all thought she must be
crazy but in her more lucid moments she
intimated THAT the miner was mot so we'll
fixed as SHE expected to find him." All
agreed that under the circumstances it
would be well if the marriage could be an
nuLed; but how was the question. Pend
ing the discussion, the young lady packed
up her Saratoga and left Grass Valley for
her home. The important question is yet

a New Danger in Fancy Drinks.
From the ST Lc:,is Democrat

A singular case of lockiaw came under
the notice of several reliable physicians a
few days ago. A gentleman, wellknown in
business circles, and rather heavy weight,
suffered intensely from the heat. After ex-
perimenting on claret punches as the best
STEADY drink" for hot weather, and alb
sorbed several of them daily through a
straw. Unfortunately he held the straw in
the same position as he did cigar, in the
corner Of his mouth, with the end resting
against his cheek. At the expiration of q
few days, the intensely cold liquid had a
singular effect, and formed an abcess in his
cheek. Not knowing at first what it was,
he continued to dispose Of his regular num-
Der ofpunches and was soon taken with the
lockjaw. DR.. Hodgden and one or two
other physicians attended him and with
difficulty saved his life They were at
loss for some time to account for the singu-
lar affection, but on hearing his story, all
agreed that the claret punches were re-
spOnsible for the evil. The sufferer, al
though not entirely recovered. is out of dan
ger. He will in future carefully avoid all
crooked and dangerous drinks, which he
now considers delusjOn and snare, and
will either take his straight or with sugar

with impure virus, hat he got lady friend
to save him that which she took from her
babys arm. He called for it one evening,
and, lille examing the delicate morsel it
fell on the floor A long search, however,
recovered it, and he went home triumphant.
He rolled up his sleeve, cut the fine little
sashes, and laid on the virus. In a few
hours his arm began to swell, ard panied
him so that he sent for doctor. The doc
tor soon arrived, and after examining the
swollen limb, requested to see the virus.
The gentleman said it was not WORTH while,
as he had just taken it from little baby,
and co uld vouch for its purity. The doctor.

found, which proved TO be a part of a
