A REMARKABLE CAsE.-A maiden
lady of some 45 years, residing in the
western part of the city, has had a
singular and painful experience. Nine
teen years ago, in walking down West
King Street, she slipped and fell in front
of the Cross Keys hotel, breaking to
atoms a large turtle shell comb which
she wore in her hair. She was render
ed insensible by the fall and there was
Il wound on her seal p which was treat
ed by the attending physician as merely
a slight abrasion OF the skin, but it was
more than that, for tooth of the comb,
PIP inches in length had broken off
and lodged under the scalp. The lady
has suffered pain in her head, neck and
body ever since, and for long time
past has been under medical treatment
by DR.. George a. King. Three days
ago she was attacked with violent pain
in the bowels and summoned the doc
tor, who applied the usual antdotes.
Soon after his departure the tooth pass
ed from the lady through the intestinal
canal, in two pieces. She is now en-
tircly free from pain and seems likely
to recover perfect health. Dr. King
regards the case as 4 very remarkable

MIsCEGENATIoN-John III. Docher,
of Charleston, S. c., mulatto, was mar
ried in Newport, r. l., last week, to
Jeanette Burbridge, white, daughter CT
one OF the business men of that city.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by the pastor of the Union Coagrega-
tonal (colored) Church. As it was
generally understood that the wedding
was to take place, large and bolster
Gus crowd of men, women and children
congregated about the house and made
night hideous They threw stones at
the house, broke windows, and used
the most insulting language, the wo-
men being the most demonstratlve.
The police were summoned but to 70
purpose. Tar barrels were burned, and
the wedding was delayed III conse-
uuence of the mob. The bride had not
lived at home for long time, and her
father, although opposed to the we'd
ding, took no measures to prevent the
union. The bridegroom is a college
graduate and very good looking.

IsrIING Dew oPMENTs-A GRAVE
CHARGE AGAINST SEVERAL 1oUNG Men,
On last Saturday night, or rather on
Sunday morning, the confectionery and
wine store of Mr. Asahcl Nanmetre
was entered and robbed OF some tobac-
co, cigars, &c, and on Sunday night
detective James A. McDevitt, OF WASH,
ington, arrived in town and proceeded
to work up the case After consulting
with the local police and gathering all
the information possible he caused the
arrest of George Is. Keefe, and it ap-
pears from him obtained information in
culpating r. A. L. Blondel, John AL
burtis and William Farnsworth, all
young men who, whatever else may
have been their faults, have always been
considered honest. These young men
were all arrested on Wednesday, and
they were given an examination on
Wednesday afternoon before Justice
Gardner, & not being able to get through
with the case that afternoon, the eXaml-
nation was continued until Thursday
morning, and from tie testimony, and
after argument, the justice held them
all to bail in the sum Of one thousand
dollars each for their appearance at
court. We understand the detective
recovered portion of the property Ia
ken. These young men all have honor
able and highly respected parents, and
the simple accusation of such crime
must wound them sorcly. Bad compa-
ny, bad habits and midnight carousals
seem to lead urerringly to bad end.
Our people are excited over a series OF
recent depredatons, and suspicious and
rumors now run riot from one end OF
the town TO tie othcr.-.Hartins6Urg

Tweed was caught on ship in SPAN
on Friday of last week. He was ac-
companied by his son-in-law, MIR.
Hunt. They were arrested as kldnap-
pers by the government of Spain, were

An exchange says:-Now that we have
practically got Tweed we shall proba-
bly, hold him fast. Spain having taken
such extraordinary measures to seize
him will not fail to deliver him to our
representative in Havana. lie IS held
by the Spanish government in trust Tor

see him in New York some time IN oc-
tober, unless some unusual accident &C.
ours. What the effect of his return
will be upon politics it is impossible to
imagine. The presence OF 10 other
man is desired so much by some politl-
clans, or to others would be as unwel-
come. Tweed knows too much about
New York politicians and politics, and
may be like nitro-glycerine-dangero
if TOO roughly handled. 1t is possible
that he has been betrayed in this arrest
and. if so, he may revenge himself for
