A BROOKLYN WOMAN GAGGED

RANSACK her HOUSE.

About 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon
two men entered the apartments of
Henry Lemmertz, at 19I Sands street,
Brooklyn, from the rear, and stealing
up behind Mr.. Lemmertz, whose back
was turned to them, one of them
quickly grasped her hands, and the
Othe- gagged her with broad bard Of
linen before she could utter a cry.
They pulled her down into a chair,
bound her firmly with stripes of cotton
cloth, and, while one OF them held y
pispol threateningly at her head, the
other ransacked the apartments. Mr..
Lemmeriz, who Is q barber, was occu-
pied in the front room, which connec :

wife was assaulted, but he heard
nothing of the disturbance. The rob-
Der who guarded Mrs. Lemmertz war;
ned her that if she uttered a word he
would shoot her. His accOmplice

$25, stole three dollars in money from
a tin box, five dollars in silver, and
two rings worth IS. They then went
away, leaving her in the chair as they
had bound her. She remained tied
and gagged until her husband hap-
pened to enter the room. He released
her and then gave the alan. She des-

Hints to Young Husbands.

The Buffalo Erpreas gives the follow
ing advice: Love and appreciation are
to IL woman what dew and sunshine are
to a flower. They refresh and brighten
her whole life. They make her strong
hearted and keen-sighted in everything
affecting her home. They enable her
TO cheer her husband when the cares Of
life press heavily upon him, and to be II
very providence To- her children. To
know that her husband loves her, and
is proud Of her, and believes in her; but
even her faults are looked upon with
tenderness; that her face, to II AT
least, is the fdirest face in all the world;
that heart which TO her is the greatest
and the noh.est holds her sacred it its
Utmost recesses above all women, gives
her a strength, and courage, and sweet
ness, and vivacity which all the wealth
of the world might bestow. Let a
woman's life be ~pervaded with such an
influence; and her heart and mind will
never grow old, but will blossom and
sweetcn and brighten in perpetual
youth.

4 Grouse Filtration.
Scribner for August.

In the breeding season the cocks select
some hollow fallen tree, and, strutting
up and down, beat it with their wings,
making Il muillcd, drumming sound
that can be heard for half Il mile. The
beat is at irregular intervals, beginning
slowly and measuredly, and gradually
increasing in quickness, until it ends in
a roll. If the bird succeeds in finding
a dry log, perfectly hollow and we'll
placed, his tattoo Of welcome can be
heard a mile, and is one of the pleasant
est of woodland sounds. 1t has the same
accelerated pace and is about of the
same duration as the call Of the raccoon,
and is only heard in the daytime, as
the raccoon is only heard at night.
When its mate hears the drumming she
slowly approaches, and, coquetishly
picking at seeds she does not want,
comes within sight Of the drumming
log. No maiden is seemingly more un-
conscious of the man she desires to at
tract than is the russell dame of her
gallant musician. A snail is on the
May-apple plant right before her; she
pecks at it three times before hitting it,
and then scratches ncgligently at imag-
mary seeds. The cock raises his ruff
till it looks like Queen Elizabeth's; the
yellow skin beneath flushes with pride;
he spreads his tail like a fan; hethrums
his guitar, clucks an Introductory well
come or two, and launches himself out,
and flies to his bride. If, however, an
other cock hears the drumming, he feels
insulted at the sound on what he consid-
ers his own domain. He flies at the
drumming-log and dashes at the brave
drummer, and the one who is inferior
in courage and strength yields his place
to the holder, and retires discounted.

The RING OF WOUNDED DCoNFEDERATE.-Mr.
Matthew Ditchtield, of fMcWilliamstown, Chester
County, Pa, writes follows II desire to dis
cover the owner Of gold ring that was taken
from confederate officer during the war under
the following circumstances James G. Kecch,
formerly color sergeant of the 10th Pennsylva6
mia Cavalry. has seen in the New York San the
name of IIackett, (?) of Charleston, s. c., and
believes the name Of the officer from whom tho
ring was taken to have been Col. Hackett, of
Charleston, commanding the 7th South Carolina
Cavalry, whoat the time acting rs brigadier-
general. 1t was ut the battle of Johnson's Farm,
Va, fought on October 7, 1864. Sergt Kcech,
in a combat with Col. lIackett shot him through
the cheek bone, and believing him to be dead,
dismounted and found him still aliEex, One of
kecch's comrades took the officers watch, and
keech demanded his ring. The officer replied
that he was willing TO part with anything but
that, but gave 1t up upon the promise Of keech
to return it to him or his family. This .pi omise
Sergt kcech intcndsto carry out. The ring is
heavy gold one with three initials Whoever
claims the ring and can give me the three initials,
and say whether they arc in italic or Roman
letters, can have the ring forwarded to your ad-
dress at your or his expense" We shall be glad
To receive any information that will lead to the
discovery Of the owner Of the ring described.
The ring no doubt belongs to Col. a. c. Has
kcll, of Columbia who carries very strong proof 4
OF his title to it IN hs face, just where Sergeant
kccch shot him. Besides that, we have two or
three men in this town who were in Col Has
kclPs command and well remembers the occur
renee These gentlemen inform us that Col.
Haskell was Col. of the 9TH S. c. Cavalry and
at the time he was shot was acting as Brigadier-
general The watch was soon afterwards re-
turned to Col. Haskell under flag of truce.
