A Fatal Charivari.


Joseph B. Mann, of Loudoun County,
Virginia, was married in Frederick City,
Md, the other day, and returned the
same evening with his bride to his moth
er's residence, near Lovettsville. On
the next evening club of young men in
the neighborhood, composing what is
called the ssRattle Band, !" proceeded to
serenade the couple by the use of tin
horns, bells, and such other instruments
as are best calculated to make night
hideous. Mr.. John Brislau, one OF the
number, was elected captain of the
crowd. A brother Of the, groom being
made aware OF the Contemplated sere-
made protested against it, telling them
that his brother had asked him to advise
them not to come, as trouble might
grow out of it if they did, They paid
no attention to the warning, but going
to Mann's house had scarcely made one
circuit Of the premises before he fired on
them several times. One OF the shots
took effect in Brislau's neck, infiicting a
wound from which he died the follow
ing morning. Mann has been commit
ted to the jail of Loudoun County for the
action of the Grand Jury. Brislau
leaves wife and three children.

A Strange Story.

Superintendent Crothers of the Hart
ford, Ct, Walnut Hill Inebriate Asy-
lum, tells this strange story of an emf
nent clergyman well known in Hartford
many years ago. A clergyman of for
tune, position, and much reputation, he
lost his daughter by violent death,
and began to drink to drown his sorrow.
1t was in vain that his wife and friends
opposed, demonstrated, implored and
persuaded; he drank on, the appetite
steadily increasing, until he became its
slave. His congregation dismissed him;
his wife died of broken heart; he
squandered his fortune; lost his friends,
and, at last, became reporter for low
New York paper, through means of
which he picked up scanty living.
From bad to worse he swept down rapid
ly, and, for some offense, committed
while drunk, was at last sent for six
months to State-prison. On coming
out and returning to the city he became
fish-peddler, drinking desperately all
the time. One day while drunk he was
injured and taken to the hospital, where
he was recognized by the attending doc
tor, and finally sent to an inebriate
asylum. He remained here six months,
went away, relapsed, and was returned
by his friend, the doctor. A year later
he went away to the far West to begin
Life again. Commencing in a small
church as pastor, he became, in few
years, one of the leading men, and,
finally, president of college. Last
year he died, man renowned, and re-
garded as the ablest divine of that Sec
tion. Among his papers were found
some of the facts concerning his early
struggles, in which he gratefully ac-
knowledges the wisdom of his old col
lege friend, in forcibly removing him
from temptation in an asylum, which
was the only possible way in which he
could escape.-Sprisaqfeld Republican

The, German system Of having the

hearty Germans tolerate degree OF ca

be odious to our people. Perhaps it Is
just as well that engaged people should
be put under more restraint than they
are in many circles of American society:
But we trust much to the discretion OF
