A MOvlnY Tale.

We have been reading some choice
literature Of late, and knowing that
our readers enjoy such recreations,
we propose TO givea synopsis OF what
we read. The first book we came &C.
ross, was one Of Beadle's Dime
Novels, entitled the abducted Mai.
den." A boy loses his parents at five
years Of age, and is apprentioed, OF
bound to an old farmer, who has an
only child-a daughter, some three
years the junior Of our hero. Every
thing goes along smoothly for full
fifteen years, when one evening, the
young lady is abducted. The old
man and the young one start in pur-
suit, and traced the daughter to New
York city One night, while pros
scouting his search, the hero goes to
the theater, and upon reaching his
boarding house, at late hour, dis
covers that he has lost his night key
and can't get in. Fortunately, there
is an all night cooper shop near by,
and thither he wends his way. He
observes many laborers at work, and
sees ponderous casks turned out as il
by magic Feeling sleepy, he crawls
into an enormous pipe or hogshead,
and is soon oblivious to the world.
He is awakened by the motion or the
cask and to his horror finds himself
headed up and rapidly moving on q
dray- Tho driver stops and the load

through the hung hole, that he 10 on

A Man Chained to q Log foP
Nineteen Years.

We learn from Mr.. Robert Glenn
Of the deoth, on the Goth ult., Of flew
is Flint, at his home, in Wyalusing.
The deceased was As years Of age.
About nineteen years ago it became
manifest, from the sudden change
that came over him, that insanity was
rapidly developing itself. A log
cabin was built near tho one in which
the family lived, where the dementod
man was placed for better security.
Confinement seemed TO aggravate his
disease and increase his violence
which wa hard for his poor mother
10 bear but all efforts on tho part Of
friends 10 have him removed to some
safe place were unavailing.--The
physicians called to examine bis case
pronounced him hopelessly insane,
therefore no room for him could be-
found in the hospital for tho insane,
and to any other place they feared Ia
have him go. Another plan, however,
was adopted, which seemed TO have
q better effect. A large block OF
wood was obtained, too heavy TO car
ry, to which was attached q chain,
fastened around his ankle in such o
manner as to produce no injury.
This arrangement allowed him soma
freedom, and he would divert linn.
self by rolling his block around in
and out Of doors at pleasure, but ID
was always necessary to watch his
movements--It was many times nec-
essary for his brother, who had
charge Of him, to be temporarily
absent from homo, to which the in
valid mother never objected. Strange
as it may seem, sho felt safe to DO
left alone with the insane son, who
never during his long insanity, when
laboring under his strongest par
oxysm, seemed to forget the sacred
name of mother. His sickness was
of short duration. A few days be-
fore death he was attacked with q
violent pain in the head, which so
prostrated him that he made no
resistance to being laid upon his bed.
His reason now, for the first time in
many years, seemed to be partially
restored. He told his brother that
he was going to die, asked for what
he wanted, and, dioovering his block
some distance from his couch, asked
that it might be rolled to his bedside
With his own hand he wrapped the
chain once more around his ankle,
ane there kept it until ife's ftful
fever was o'er.-Grdnt County { W;s)
Herald.

A wild lluntress.

The Wheeling Register Of the 20tl
ultimo tells tho following story or
the authority Of Julia Messenger, o
Windridge. Green county, Pa, fol
whose veraoity il vouches
A man living near Windridge
Green county, Pa, had borne to him
five children, four girls and one boy
uis name Is Daniel Lewis. When
quite young the boy aud second
daughter, named Lucinda Lewis, do.
veloped quito fondoess for hunting,
and we're out nearly oil tho time,
roaming tho woods 10 search ofgamc.
They seemed to delight in nothing so
much ~ tho fall life Of o hunter, aud
would be gone from homo for week g
at o time. After some four or five
years the boy quit it, and entered on
the more industrious pursuits of life,
but the girl continued 10 the chase.
Drawing herself moro aud more from
human intercourse and restraint, she
has become Q wild woman, fleeing
from the approach Of her kind with
the speed Of o deer.
During tho early years Of her soil
tary li!e sho used to approach her fa-
thor's house and entice the dogs to
follow her, teaching almost auy breed
Of dogs to become good hunters. In
the hope Of bringing her back to her
home and TO civilization, her brother
followed her and shot tho dog she
had taken away, using every induce.
ment to get her back with him. But
all iu vain.
For eighteen years, since she was
twelve years Of age, she has lived this
wild life, sleeping in the contres of
straw stacks during the night,
snd'hiaing 10 them during the sum
mer tho wild and cultivated fruits she
intends for her winters storo of pro.
visions. She is now thirty years old,
aud ia ss wild as the most untsmed
depizeu of tho forest.
MIR. Messenger says he at one
time, whilo out hunting, met her 10
the woods. Her long black hair, CO.
vering her face and eyes, Was matted
with burs and leaves, and her blsck
flashing eyes, made her . startling
picture. She remained perfectly still
until he got within twenty feet OF her,
when she turned and fed with OIL
swiitness no man could hope to rival.
A few days since she was seen
again aud then had in her hands
three phessants and four rabbits but.
although encountered, she eluded eve.
~ sttemptl to capture her. She
has been so long in the woods that
she has become perfectly wild. Her
dress is made Of the skins Of wild an.
imsls and a blanket that she has ta-
ken somewhere during some Of her
nocturnal pedatory tours.
