A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says that on the 18th ult,as Nh. Daniel
Jones family, in james City, Va, was break
fasting in the kitchen, about twenty five
yards from the main dwelling, one of hi.
daughters went TO look after Mrs. Fanny
Linman's baby, three weeks old, that had
been left snugy covered up and slowed away
in the enjoyment of his usual mornings nap.
The little infant was found screaming con-
yulsively and covered with blood. A pet
cat, that had evidently run at the sound of
footsteps, was found under the bed, blood
being upon his throat and fore legs Two
thoughts at the same time occupied the
minds of all present-one to care for the
baby, the other to go for the cat. The cat
order was promptly obeyed "Of with his
head" The baby, being washed, presented
a CHASTITY sight. One arm, shoulder, face,
eye, and one side of the head were terribly
scratched, and the skin, upon the head so
torn and lifted as TO expose the skull. DIR.
Hankins was called in, aud the little fellow
is now doing we'll, with prospects of
recovery.

hpoW sonetninS ABOUT le.
Since my last communication was
written | have seen the bill that
is now before the Assembly to amend
the Potter law, and find the follow
ing just comment upon it in the
Madison correspondence of the
Chicago Tribune. The writer says
II hav" lid that this bill is likely to
pass as "a amendment to the Potter
law, and, il my Judgment, it wilt be
very grave error for the legislature
So to do 1t suits the roads already
built, because they do not need to
borrow mouey; but those lines of
new road, whose projectors wish to
go into the market with their bonds
for salo, will have the Potter law
fouted in their faces Just as much as
ever. 1t is the moral effect, SO TO
speak, of the repeal Of the law that
Wisconsin needs just now as much
as anything else, and until that is
done, no new roads will be construc-
ted upon borrowed capital in this
State. The Governor saw this very
clearly with a business mans ssgaci-
ty, and recommended its repeal in.
stead of its modification, and if the
legislation follows the Governors ad-
vice they will do better than TO at
tempt to patch it up with amend
ments." STEEL RAIL

The Fatal Thirteen.

An old proverb, whose origin dates
far back into antiquity exists that
when thirteen persons accidentally
meet together one of them will die
during the year. In order TO test
this saying. and as kind of bold
challenge 10 fate, thirteen Germans,
having found themselves together on
a festive occasion about seven years
ago, resolved to form an association
and try what power there is in the
Inflated number thirteen. Mr.. Chas
Opperman was chosen President !;
Daniel Ferber, Vice. President !;
Heary II. Boesenecher, Secretary,
and John Bentel, Treasurer. The
object of the society is stated to be,
to meet socially at least once a
month, and in case any member
should quit this lite the rest should
attend the funeral, provide hearse
drawn by six snow-white horses,
each member appear with white
hat instead of the customary black
tile, and come in carriage also
drawn by six milky steeds. The
mourners to wear, in addition to
white kids, white vests and white
cravats, and that if one should die
another member should be received
into the circle in his place, but the
number should never be more than
thirteen, nor less For nearly seven
years the original mem bers remained
untouched by the hand of death,
and there was no need for the un-
usual funeral parade, the brotherhood
growing fat and wealthy in the
course of time. But short time
ago one of their number, who had
removed to Hoboken, found the
change of air unhealthy, and under
the Influence of Jersey marshes
sickened and died The remaining
twelve, under the leadership OF Mr..
were true to their pIighted
word, and they gave their comrade
the last escort with a gorgeously-
decorated hearse, to which were
attached six white horses, followed
BY twelve stylish carriages, each
drawn by like number of splendid
snowy animals, aud bearing a soil,

Reward for the Capture of Horse
Thieves


From the Gslena Gazette
The Board of Supervisors of La.
Fayettee Co., Wis, have done good
thing 10 offering reward of 5000
for the capture and CONJUNCTION of
any person guilty of horse-stealing in
that county There seems little
doubt that an organized gang of
horse thieves has existed for some
years in circuit of country EN- brac-
ing Shullsblrg, Darlington, Monroe,
Lena, Warren and Apple River, and
that vicinity. The man Dates, who
is now in the Galona jail for forgery,
and who stole team from Mr.. G. w.
Russell of Lafayette County, con>
fesses since his arrest, that he is one
of gang of thieves On the subject
in question, the Darlington RepubIi-
can has the following:
Detective Murphy, of Warren, de-
serves much praise for the persistent
manner in which he pursued Dates,
and although be did not succeed in
capturing him himself, and getting
the offered reward, he aided in his
capture, and would undoubtedly have
secured him, if Dates had not com
mitted other crimes for which be was
arrested. The Board Of Supervisors
of Lafayette County, taking this
into consideration, with the fact that
Mr.. Murphy had spent twenty-five
days in ca asing Dates, incuring heavy
expenses, magnaminously appropri-
ated him sl20.14 when they we're in
no legal or moral sense liable to pay
any part of the 200 reward offered.
This shows that ;he peopl, are in
earnest for the capture Of horse
thieves, aud il officers are unsaccess-
full, will help them boar the losses.

a Leaf from Memory
[ For the HERALD

| fOl tue 1EhALb
With a sad heart, have scanned
many pages in the book of memory

corded in my book Of life, of which |
often think, yet there are lights as
well as shadows, pleasures as well as
pains, to be remembered. The soft
balmv aid gtt6ftGeg tie SHOWERS were last

mantle the swelling buds Of the
forest trees, the constant twitter and
sweet songs of the birds, were signs
not to be mistaken. Summer was

There was spring time i'll the hearts
of two young people also. They
were brother and sister: he young
man of twenty, she not yet SIXTEEN.
But young as she was she was house
keeper for father and brother, for she
was motherless. | was a relative

young housekeeper as though 1t were

affectionate child can love- She was
my fathers sister, and to me this
young aunt was all that was good and
fair. ! was visiting her =; how cum

the little log cabin seemed the small
windows the rough door latch with
its Irvine string--all had charm Tor
me The great large house where |
lived, Que room of which was as
large as this little birds nest OF a
home, seemed desolate and gloomy
to think of in comparison to th'S.
There were tall stately trees, growing
close to the house, and just a few
feet from the door flows the peace
ful water Of river. 1t was a lovely
spot This humble home and honest
toll, with nature for companion,
kept the heart of brother and sister
pure and sinless. | stayed few
weeks, aud then returned home, little
thinking that ere the summer roses

her good bye that it was my last
word, my last look, till we should

day news came that Mary was dead

anguish nor can | ever forget tht
still, cold feature, the golden hair
the blue eye, frozen in death Many
years ago the aged father went to hi
rest, but her brother, her only com
