the village, aud an immense crowd OF spectators
gathered to look at the
UNFORTUNATE MANS PERILOUS SITUATION,
from which II seemed impossible to rescue him.
Mccullough had given up all hopes Of being aided /;
his arms and body were last becoming benumbed
and losing their hold on the slippery rock, when q
shout went up from the thruats OF the spectators
which told him that aid was nigh In taat vast
bridges there was but one man who was willing to
risk his own life IN trying to snatch q fellow crea-
ture rom out the Jaws oil death.
TON CONROY, GUIDE
at the Cave OF Winds, jumped into the rapids
and, holding IN his lett hand the end OF rope and
swimming down the current. ne reached McCul.
Tough ia safety. He Immediately tied the rope
around himself and the neariy exhausted man,
aud they were both safely landed ashore IN few
moments. Mccullough was badly bruised about

rtage or tho Couple.
PIrrsBuR0. May 20, 1874.
Mention was made few months since In the
columns OF the HERALD OF the romantic attachment
OF young man named Bruce, OF this city, for Zulu
ARA, known as the beautiful Circassan girl, who
last Summer travelled In q professional capacity
with Barnum's circus and who during the past
winter attracted many admirers TO Burnells Mu-
scum at this city, where she was on exhibition.
Bruce. who Ia man OF considerable fortune,
made proposal OF marriage to the beautiful
Clrcassian, VINO put him of from day TO
day until ne, tearing that he was thwarted IN his

on exhibition, and on her ultimately refusing to

after
EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF INSANITY.
The symptoms developed so rapidly and were OF
SO serious nature to cause his friends to have
MIN removed TO Dixmont Insane Asylum. At this
INSTITUTION ne remained until few weeks ago.
when ne was pronounced cured, and accordingly
discharged.
with liberty came the old and strong afrection
I0r the Circassian, and he made inquiries in almost
every quarter OF the city to her present Wnere-
aoouts. Ascertaining that she was travelling with
O'BrIens circus, then In the interior or New YORK
State, he nastened thlther, and came up with the
object OF mis- search at small village called Fair
Hill. This was on Friday last, and the meeting be
tween the couple Is said to have been an
EXCEEDINGLY CORDIAL AND JOYOUS
one. He again told her OF his love and again pro-
posed marriage. Greatly to his Joy the trials and
tribulations OF very romantic courtshtp were
brought TO happy end by the acceptance OF his
Offer. The next day. In the presence OF all those
connected with the circus and attending side
shows, the young couple we're made man and wife,
Alter the ceremony they were the recipients or
numerous congratulations, and the contract Of the
lady with the circus manager having been annulled

District Attorney Winslow objected on the
ground that II was against the practice OF the
Court IN reference TO indictments to allow the de-
PENDANT to take the Initiative and bring an indct-
ment before the Court. He contended that the mo-
ton was out OF the jurisdiction OF the Court. The
indictment not before the Court and IL DID not
appear that 1t ever would be. The motion was OUT

criminal business.
Mr.. Barnard contended that the indictment had
been In this Court since October and could not 90

he would announce his decision during the day.
He subsequently decided to grant the motion.
