Misfortunes Of the Bella Of = v,rrir1a
Town.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. &c. a case,
extraordinary for its pathetic and roman
tic features, has been developed in the
death of Miss Ida Y. Branch of Virginia,
beautiful young woman, % years of age,
Which occurred at the Maryland Univer-
slty Hospital yesterday afternoon. Miss
Branch resided at Smthfield, Isle of
Wight county, Va. Her personal charms,
grace and culture attracted many ad-
mlrers and, with her fathers approval
she was betrothed to Mr.. Ferguson, the
son of a neighboring farmer. In January
last Mr.. Branch became suspicious that
the relations existing between his daugh-
ter and her lover, We're of a criminal ma
ture. When these suspicious We're com
munlcated to her she denied them in the
most positive manner. Her denials were,
however, apparently refuted by physical
indications, and she was sent to an aunt
in Charlottesville, where a medical ex-
animation was made. and the physician
sustained the belief expressed by her
father. Even after this she protested her
innocence, and a second examination dis
closed the presence of tumOr She was
brought to Baltimore on the 18th inst.
and placed under the care Of eminent
physicians. A diagnosis shOwd that I'M
less removed the tumOr would cause
death in few days. Miss Branch readily
consented to the operation, and request
ed, if her death followed, that a post
mortem be made to prove the truth of
her statements. The tumor was removed
on Saturday, and was found to weigh "A
pounds, Death ensued on Saturday. The
remains OF the unfortunate girl were re-
moved to Virginia for burial.

found freighters and ranchmen along the

the road between Sand Holes and Pleas
ant Valley at the time the hOstiles struck
it, had left their wagons where they hap
pened to be, in most instances loaded
with valuable freight, and taken their
stock to a place of safety. In one in
stance we found two wagons, one loaded
with metallic cartridges and the other
with powder, but the hostiles had not dis
turbed them. As soon as we had passed
over the road the freighters commenced
moving again. 1t is believed that the
hostiles have disturbed no freight on the
road. General Howard was pleased to
get Indian scouts, and thinks they will
do him good service. His command is
having a severe campaign, but all are in
good spirits, hoping to finish the hostiles
in short time.

Mention has been made of the shooting
at Cherryfeld, of man named Lindsey
by young man named Anderson The
Machias Republican gives the particulars
as follows
Anderson, with his mother and others was on
the plains berrying. Lindsey told, seemed
to be there more for the purpose of riotng and
drinking than any legitimate business. 1t appears
that he rudely entered the tent about O'Clock,
and boosted of his ability to clean out the inmates :;
he being powerful man all stood i'll fear of him.
He seized Mrs Anderson, threw her to the ground,
put his foot on her, raised an her head and
threatened to kill her. Her son did all in his pow
er to drive Lindsey away, and warned him that if
he did not leave he would shoot him, but instead
of doing so he continued to brandish the weapon
over Mrs. Andersons head in threatening manner.
when her son fired, intending only to wound and
trighten him away, The ball entered Lindsey 5
heart, killing him almost instantly. Anderson was
tried before Trial Justice Small i'll Cherrytield and
bound over to the Supreme judicial Court III the
sum of five thousand dollars
These facts make the case clearly one
of justitiable homicide. No man, who is a
man, will stand by and see his mother
treated in that way, without attacking
her assailant. A jury will be likely to
make short work in acqultting Anderson,

lmertoc and Europe Contracted.

Mr.. F. De Berg Richards, the artist, mas
just completed for Mr.. 8. 8. To~nseno'
and has on exhibition at his studio TWO
handsome oil paintings, one representing
Lake Luzerne, Switzerland, and the otner
the Twin Lakes, Rocky Mountains. Inc
contrast in subject is marked, and the o.
fects are intensified by tho manner IN
which they have been treated. Lake Lu-
zerne is shown in an open view, with the
mountains in the distance, and ROAD
distribution of lights. The rugged scenery
of the Rocky Mountains furnishes more
dramatic theme, which has received more
dramatic treatment. A gathering storm
breaks the lights and concentrates the ef-
fects in mid distance. In the one picture
the highly cultivated valleys OF Europe are
shown: in the other, the unbroken natural
soil of America. In one are the houses and
churches which mark the abode OF civiliza-
ton: in the other the wigwams OF the saw
age. The force of the contrasts makes the
two pictures excellent companion pictures,
and both are marked by careful attention
of the artist to detail without any over
elaboration in the manipulation OF colors.
We copy ihe above from the Philadelphia
Ledger of Saturday. Mr., Richards Is a
Wilminstonian, and learned the painting
business in this city. He also carried 1t on
for some years, and then studied the higher
branches of his profession and became an
artist, He went to Rome, staid their sever"
al years examining the works Of the best
masters and returned. He also published
a book of his travels, which was read with
considerable interest.
