A Cruel Husband.

Lady, OF Croton, who had somo
troubles with her husband, determ
ined to punish him. She had seen
in the papers of the revenge OF a
Pennsylvania woman whose husband
had struck her, aud she determined
to initiate that female action When
the Pennsylvania woman was struck
she threw herself into tragic atti-
tuds, AMI exclaimed, VILLAIN moth
iny but death eau wipe away the
stain of youfblow Then she rush
ed out OF the house, ran to the car-l
and throwing her hat aud shawl on
the bank, flung in biz stone, which
made loud splash. She then hid
in the bushes and watched with Ia
mania, Joy her husband and party
OF friends graphing for the body.
When she thought she had sufli.
oieptiy punished her lord she made
her appearance, aud was received by
him with demonstrations of JOY. and
he begged her forgiveness, tool; her
home AMI promised to DO kind aud
loving to her forever The other
day ths CrotoL woman had n battle
royal with her husband He didn't
strike her--he was too manly for that
but he said such irritating things
that she was driven to madness
"lphurpan monster" she shreked,
II will never again rest beneath this
root. The river bed shall be my
tonb-its waters my winding shoet."
Dat she rushed to the river. vhich
ran within quarter ofa mile of the
9ouse, threw her handkerchief on
tho bank--she had neither hat nor
shawl on, and then shs flung int,
the clear water a large stone. This
done she hid in some trees and await
et the comming Of the.remorse strick-
on husband. She CONTINUED to wait
for about eight hours but the re-
morseful man didn't come. Horrible
thoughts began to agitate her mind.
Perhaps he had killed tho children
aud then committed suicide. She
could not bear the suspense longer.
IL was dark now aud she quietly
stole to the house.
There were lights in it, ind every
thing looked as CHEEKY and pleasant
as usual. She crept to the window
and looked in. There sat tho re-
morse stricken husband, with his
arm around the waist of young la-
dy neighbor, and he was saying
JENNIE, the old woman got Ii. back
up to-day, and she went off and
drowned herself. Now, you sae, /
don't want to break up house keep
ing, and If you'll consent, why, well
get hitched in two weeks. What do
you say y
"Sho shap't DO anything of the
sort, aud neither will you, You mis-
cradle, wfeeling, heartlcss wretch !I
came from the wife and she dashed
into the room. For a few minutes
jennie was tossed and tumbled
about by the undrowned woman
in the most horried manner, and
when Jennie retired from h
house she looked as though she had
been through q cqrding machine.
Tho Croton woman dosent intend
trying any more sentimental expe-'
ments on her husband; but
hereafter do oil her fighting
old fashion, 1t need hardlyt
toned that ber husband is NOT
in q state of perfect Rpd UNI
beautitude at present. N. Y
match.

OF an order from the town authorities
prohibiting the firing of crackers OF
fireworks of any description. No at.
tention was paid to the order by nor.
tion of the colored, citizens. Tie town
marshal attempted to arrest ono of the
offenders, who drew pistol and fred at
the marshal, whose upper lip was cut of
by the ball. A general riot then ensued
among tho negroes, in the course OF
which several persons were wounded.
Judge Nelson, OF New York, recently
deceased, wae on the bench forty nine

DEATH 81 HsNnr RooHEroRr Count
Victor Henri de Roohefort Lucsy, bet.
ter known as Henri Rochefort. whose
death at tho French penal colony, in
New Caledopia; is reported by cable de.
spatches, WAS born In Psris, January
80, 1880. Hswas the son Of q marquis,
and was educated at st. Louis college,
where he was remarkable for his love
of and talent in poetry. His lively con.
tributions to the Charicori as dramatic
critic. procured him the appointment o.
su5-iaspoc.o: cs ace arts 1T Paris. An
editor of the Figaro, to the staff of
whlcl he was appointed in 1863, he nc.
quired wide reputation ns vivaoious
aud witty writer. whose forcib'e style
and cutting carcasm made him feared
by his opponents aud respected by his
associates. Rochefort at tho Same time
wrote several comedies aud vaudevilles.
which. although they possessed but lit
tie literary merit, gained him great
popularity and much money. On the
Income arising from his plays alone
Rochefort could have lived elegantly in
any city OF Europe. His course was
unwise, and his abuse and tirndes
against the Emperor became 80 extreme
and audacious that he found himeelf
forced to resign his position ON the FL
garo. He then established La Lanterne,
which, animated by the same spirit of
hostility TO Bonapartism, he was soon
obliged to remove to Brussels. While
in that city he fought several duele, and
in 1869. WAS elected member of the
General Assembly. He returned to
Paris under aafe conduct from the
Emperor and took his scat. He soon
started q journal known as La Aiarsel
laiSe. aud 1T was for certain expressions
in it's columns that Victor Noir met his
death at the hands of Prince Pierre
Bonaparte. For his acts during his
reign of the Commune he was tried and
transported. He leaves a wife and
seveia! young children.

The GREENWOOD AND AUGUSTA RAIL.

"The grading of the Greenwood and

devoted friends, and it is confidently
believed that before the expiration of
another twelve months, the entire line
will be graded from this point to Fury 8
Ferry. The necessity for this limo. as
we'll as it's value. is pushing it forward
