A Young Girls Terrible Revenge.

From the sijourney (Iowa) News, Aug. Q. ]
Hiss Carolino White, q young
lady Of seventeen, has created SON.
sation by shooting Wm. M. Holland
a married man, having a wife and
seven children. On Monday las,
shortly before dinner, Miss White
called ut the house Of Thompson
Yocum, in English River township.
Mr.. Yocum, being unwell, was not
long at the table, and left. Just as
Holland was about finishing dinner
iss White walked out TO the tablo
and presented q paper, telling him to
sign il, which he refused to do, and
stepped out doors, Miss White fol-
loving. In q moment tho first shot
was heard, and Mr.. Yocum. who was
first at the sceno, tells US that Hol-
land was running, passed around
an evergreen, and short distance
thereirom fell perfectly lifoloss. Miss
White followed him up with rovol-
yer, and when Holland fell placed
tho muzzle close to his head and
continued firing. Yocum and anoth'
or mau, whose name We have foreot-
ten, attempted to got hold Of her, but
she quickly lovolcd the pistol at Yo-
GUMS assistant, telling him TO stand
aside or she would shoot him. This
he did quickly, and tho weapon was
in a second lowered by Miss White
and fred at tho prostrate and lifeless
body of Holland. Whom the men
got hold Of her tho chambers Of tho
pistol proved to bs all empty.
Whether the full five shots were fra
ed is not known, rs In tho excitement
mono remembered distinctly. II all
wero fred, one failed to take choc,.
One sho. grased the face, doing no
damage. One entered the temple,
one over tho right eye, making it,
way through tho brain, and auothcr
to the left Of tho vertebrao, ranging
upward 10 tho centre Of tho heart,
and between tho fourth and ffth ribs,
lodging beneath the skin 1t is
thought that tho ball passing through
the heart was the first one fred and
that tho other shots taking effect
were fred aftor be had fallen lifoless
The cause Of the act is said to be
that Holland had repeatedly stated
that Caroline was unchasto, and that
he had had intercourse wi tn her
which reports coming TO the cars of
her family, Holland was interviewed
and promised TO sigo q statement that
bo bad lied. For some time he has
evnded his promise, until the girl
became cxaspcrated. She is report
cd to bc Of good character, modest
aud unassuming not q whi-pcr was
ever heard against her name, except
from Holland. who went to young

The haunted Chamber.

A room in the principal inn Of .
country town had the reputation Of
being haunted. Nobody would sleep
in il, aud it Was therefore shut up.
But it so happened that ct an election
tie inn was quite full, aud there was
only the haunted room unoccupicd.
A gentlsmsu's game keeper came to
tho inn, exceedingly fa,igued by =
long journey, and wanted o bed.
He was informed that, uuless he
choose to occupy tho hauntod room,
he must seek a bed elsewhere.
Haunted + exclaimed he, stuff
aud nonsense I III sleep in it
Ghost or demon, III take q look ut
what haunts il !
Accordingly, after fortiiying him-
self with pipe and tsnkard, he took
up his quarters in tho haunted cbsm-
ber aud retired to rest.
He had not laid down many mip.
utos whom tho bed shook under him
most ioarfully.
Hr sprang out OF bed, struck Q
light, (fsr he had taken the preoau.
tion to place q box Of lucifcr matches
by his bedsidc) and mako . careful
examination Of the room, but could
discover nothing.
The courageous follow would not
return TO bed, but remained watch
in.. for some time. Presently no
saw tho bed shake violently. The
A,or was Arm nothing moved but
tho bed.
DETERMINED, if possible, to find out
the cause Of his badquakc, he looked
In the bai, and near the bed, and not
seeing anything to account for the
shaking which now aud then seemed
TO seixo on ihs bed. he at last pulled
it from the wall. Then the "murder
came out.
The sign board of the inn wa. fas-
tened TO tho outer wall by q nut aud
screw, which came through to the
back Of the bod, aud when tbs wind
swung the sign board TO and fro, the
movement was communicated to th.
bed, causing It TO shake in n violent
manner.
Tho gsmskecpcr delighted at hsv-
Ing hunted up tho ghost, Informed
tho landlord next morning Of tho real
oature Of bis earthly visitor. and was
handsomely rewardnd Tor rendering,
q room, hitherto useless, now quite
serviccsble.

similar sonrces, ifthose to whom the
ghosts" appeared had boon as 'plucky'

Lest your little maid may hear.

Past her red lips rosy bars,
Went their cry 10 mortal hearing

Did that pallid. patient mother,
Meeting you at morning tide,
Tell you Of her weary vigil.
Hope and love both crucihed! !
Look where evening revois echo
Refund the h haughiy. lovely queen,
While fair blossoms rain their petals
Over hair and rippled sheen.
Ask her why her velvet bracelet
Seems triae out Of place,
Will she tell you, how In anger.

Ireland has good crops generally,
