competed, the highest award of merit. The
representatives OF other machines, ever conf
dent, have entered the lists, time and again,
only to be defeated and finding it impossible
to compete fairly, have endeayored to decry
the value of Premiums. They are not slow,
however to boast fthe few they have received.
But in the grand trial, daily use throughout
the world, where only true merit finds favor,
and superiority wins the race, the WHEELER X

the Champion by the verdict OF the people.

JEALOUSY;
A Young Girl Shot by Her Lover.
From, the Nav VorLr World Feb IN

johnson ROurke, about seventeen years
of age, a resident of Lower Penn's Neck,
in Salem county, y. j., was an ardent ad-
mirer Of Miss Elizabeth Lloyd, about the
same age, and living in the same neighbOr-
hood. A mutual affection seemed to exist
between the two, and it is reported that
they were affianced. One night last week
a social gathering took place at a neigh
bOr's, where young ROurke became madly
jealous Of the lady, and started for home
unusually early. Miss Lloyd. accompanied
by a couple Of gentlemen, left soon after,
in a carriage, which was passing through a
secluded spot, when the sharp crack of a
rife broke the stiffness, and Miss Lloyd
threw up her arms, with a scream. Il am
shOtt' she exclaimed, as she was caught
in the arms of her terrified escort, who put
the horses to their highest speed, until her
home was reached. BY this time she had
gained her self-cOntrOl, and bidding her
friends goodnight, walked into the house.
Here her pale looks alarmed her mother,
and she had barely time to announce that
she had been shot when she swOOned. 1t
was then discovered that the bullet had en-
tered her back, near the right shoulder
blade, and passing around the spinal col
umn had lodged near the left lung. No at
tempt was made to probe the wound by the
attending physician, as he feared fatal re-
suit. Young ROuFke was arrested, but
maintained that the pistol was accidently
discharged By slipping upon the ice. Miss
LlOyd's situation is extremely critical, and
it is scarcely possible that she can survive
the wound received.
