A wild Woman.

From the Hastings, MINI, Union'l
On Saturday last a woman was brought
in to this city from the town of Castle
Rock, where she was running wild in the
brush for week or more. The Judge Of
Probate notified DIR. Finch, who exanin-
ed her, and he thought it case Of loss of
memory more than downright insanity,
and accordingly she was left at the Tom
tine Hotel, instead Of being conveyed to
the county Jail. She escaped from there
on Sunday night, and, though every eff
fort has been made to discover her where
abouts, it is still mystery. As she was
very thinly clad there can be but little
hopes her surviving the inclemency of
the weather at this season of the year.
She gave her name as May, but either
could not or would not tell where her
friends reside or how she got TO Castle
Rock. BY the State papers copying this
notice may reach her friends.

ter go down town and get some arsenic
and put it on some meat and feed the
dog. She did so, but the dog wasn't hun
cry, and wouldn't touch it. Every plan
that the cxigencies of the situation could
suggest were resorted to, but with
no success. Doggie was there and
there to stay. Jones finally, about u
o'clock, concluded to be quiet and let
the dog go to sleep, and when he thought
he was safely in the land of dreams he
rose up quietly and made jump for the
kitchen door, which he reached about
two feet in advance Of the dog, who for
the balance of the night held undisputed
possession of his extemporized quar- tiers,
and in the morning he trotted off, leaving
the kitchen in peaceful possession of its
swner. But MIR. Jones don't buy any
more wood Of men who own dogs, and
will soon present the common council
with a numerously signed petition, pray
ing that the dog ordinance be enforced.

The Testimony OF Ilhe Plymouth
Church superintendent.

Mr.. bell, who testified yesterday in the
Beecher.T ilton trial, is superintendent of
Plymouth Bethel, and former 81 pei inten-
dent Of Plymouth Sunday school. When
cross.examined by Sherman the latter
abored to show that he had always ia
vored the policy Of silence, and Mr.. Bell
was certain in his testimony that Shear
man was sedously in favor of the church
taking action, in lieu of Theodore Tilton's
having failed TO deny the charges made
in the papers. Bell said that no idea of
taking action against Beecher, and no be.
lief in his guilt existed, but it was
felt, notably by himself and
Sherman, that charge so
gross made by paper Of great circu!a.
ton, left a stain OF the church which the
church should wipe off. Shearman
Bell to concur with him in the statement
that he (Shearman) never thought the
scandal should be replied 70, but that
Mr.. Tilton should himself be dealt with.
Bell replied, "Mr. Shearman, will not
argue with you. will only state that
my memory under oath, is that you at
first expected Tilton TO deny the story,
and that he having failed TO do SO, you
thought the church should take action
on the scandal" slow many thought

Sherman. "Ilundreds on hundreds"

portant, and should be denied and refnted.
The trouble was, in substance" said Mr..
Bell, that the SANDER would be borne
to hundreds Of thousands who never
knew the facts and parties, or studied
either. 1t was therefore important to
hunt down and expose a SANDER, or at
least deny it,"
Mr.. Bells testimony was received with
great attention by both sides, and by all
the audience. The chief justice himself
listened most intently.

Beecher as a "Wax Figger'' at Mad
nme Tussatsdss.

London Letter to the Chicago Tribune.l
Henry Ward Beecher's effigy at the
wax works is introduced to the public as
the gifted and eloquent American di-
vine, brother to the author of uncle
Toms Cabin and the principal charac-
ter in a recent great scandal" This fig
ure looks like Daniel Lambert in the
middle stages of development of adipose;
its head is grand enough to have
been modelled after an ideal of
Homer's head; while the face, if
Homeric, must have been wrought out
from an inspiration of Homer at time
when Homer nodded with the stupor of a
too abundant feast upon the honey of Hy-
mettus. 1t is a stupid, silly, almost inn
beetle face, bearing slight resemblance,
not in imbecility, but in feature, to Mr..
Beecher as he was some years ago, but
only as slight one as the figures Of Hen
nv Wits six wives (which stand not far
away gathered about their uxorcidal lord
like pall-bearers around hearse,) proba-
bly, bear TO their originals.
Mr.. Beecher's fame does not seem
TO have echoel like thunder, or
flashed like lightning over the sea,
for, standing before this travesty of his
face and figure, we overhear comments
and questions that imply density of
ignorance concerning both the brother Of
the author Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" and
"the recent great scandal" "Ay, mon
Who's Beecherl" asked No. who hasn't

"Beecher Beecher ~ answers the other
meditatively, "why, isn't he the prime
minister Of America 7" "Ay, that he
is I" quoth No. | /; and the two moved on
to the next figure, unconscious of how
closely they had laid hold upon the truth,
although swerving so widely from the
fact.

How Mr. Jones OF Faribault was Corr

Mr.. Jones, a prominent gentleman Of
Chestnut street, was out Of wood and
came down town one Of the coolest days
last week and purchased load and had I
delivered at his house. The man Of
whom he bought the wood had dog, a
gray, wolfiish looking cur, and when the
man drave of the dog was busy with Ia
bone and concluded to remain over night.
After finishing his bone he stood by the
kitchen door and the moment il was
opened he went in, and no inducement
whatever would bring him out again in
the cold. lie planted himself
by the fire and remained there.
When Jones came home to tea he was in.

the idea that n dog couldn't be turned
out Of door, and Immediately proceeded
TO the kitchen and opening the door said,
GIT OUT lie was answered with growl
and an exhibition Of teeth. Jones is a
spunky man, and Immediately raised his
foot and kicked the dog, after which he
had just time to jump on the table while
the enragod dog appeared satisfied with
the situation and lay down again by the
stove. While Jones stood still the dog
was quiet, but just the moment Jones
made the slightest motion to-
wards getting down the dog
would raise up and show his teeth, a
beautiful set, long, white and sharp.
Jones called his wife, and insisted that
she should drive the dog out. She tried
to do so in gentle way; tried 70 coax
him out with meat and milk, but all 70 no
purpose. Jones told his wife she had bet
