Outrage by a seOUnaTcI YyEl0 IS
Still at Large.

One day during the past week, one
Ed. Rhea, married man, and q not0-
rious bad character, who lives in the
vicinity Of Conyersville in this coun-
ty, left his wife and home and started
out with the intention of clipping with
daughter Of q Respectable man in the
same neighbJrhodd. On his way, he
called at the house Of another young
married man, who was atthe time abs
sent from home. Finding the wife of
this man alone, he attempted to COM
NIT a most horrible outrage upon her
person, but by her heroic efforts was
prevented from the accomplishment Of
his belliSh design. Leaving the house
he pursued his course toward the house
Of the man whose daughter he had pcro
suaded to elope with Aim. The girl it
seems had agreed TO the clopement,
and to steal $500 from her father in or
der to pay the way of the two out of
the country In order to carry out
the project Of elopement, it seems that
Rhea had procured the aid and co>op~
Grafton of a man and Lis wife, who
were tenants upon the farm Of the man
whose daughter he was attempting to
corrupt. He went to the house Of this
tenant, and sent both the man and his
wife &c the house OF the girls father,
about a quarter of Il mile of, in order
to aid the clipping girl in making her
escape from her father. While this
man and his wife were on their errand
of shame, to aid the scoundrel Rhea in
procuring the escape Of his intended
victim, from her father house, he
,Rhea) committed rape upon the per-
son of the daughter Of these tenants,
girl only fifteen years of age. The
screams of the poor unfortunate girl
while in the clutches of this brute were
distinctly heard by her father and
mother, while they were at the house
of the man where they had gone on
most shameful mission. Rhea's plot had
been fortunately discovered by the faith
er of his intended victim, just in time to
prevent its accomplishment. Rhea it
is supposed has fed the country, as he
has not been found by parties who are
in search of him and extremely anx-
ious to find him. The popular indig
nation of the people of that vicinity
will know no bounds if this scoundrel
Rhea is found. Rhea is said to be
from Ohio, and has been in this coun-
ty only few years. He married a
very respectable young woman in the
vicinity OF Conyersville, something
over a year ago.-Pa-is IRtelligenoer.

Drinking Ice Water.

There is no more doubt that drinking
ice water arrests digestion than there is
that refrigerator would arrest per-
spiration. 1t drives from the stomach it's
natural heat, suspends the flow of gastric
juice, and shocks and weakens the del
icate organs with which it comes in con-
tact. An ADLER writer on human dis
eases says: " Habitual ice water drink
ers are usually very fabby about the
region of the stomach. They complain
that their food lies heavy on that patient
organ. They taste their dinner for
hours after it is bolted. They cultivate
the use of stimulants to aid digestion.
If they are intelligent they read upon
food and what the Psychologist has to
say about it-how long it takes cabbage
and pork and beef and potatoes and
other meats and esculents to go through
the process of assimilation. They roar
at new bread, hot cakes, fried meat,
imagining these to have been the cause
of their maladies. But the ice water
goes down all the same, and finally
friends are called in to take farewell
look at one whom a mysterious Provi-
dence has called to cline where, as
far as is known, ice water is not used.
The number of immortal beings who GO
hence, to return no more, on account Of
an injudicious use of ice-water, can
hardly be estimated.

GLEANLNGS FROM THE MUSE.
ONLY An EsIEGRANT.

Only an emigrant lying there
On the rock boun coast of Halifax Bay,
With the salt sea damp on his yellow hair,
And his face aghast in Deaths dismayi
Only an emigranti one of five hundred;
Hurled to his doom when some one Numbered.
When the rich 60 down we may reckon the cost,
And value their lives and what they are worth;
But who will weep for the emigrant lost
This clod of clay which numbered the earth2
Drive the nails In his coffin lid
And let bis corpse from our sight be hid.
But list, pray. Leagues on leagues away,
In tusf-thatched hut on the Irish shore,
There are human hearts W hich are breaking to-day
And bright hopes dashed for evermore,
And eyes haf-blinded with passionate tears,
And the dreary outlook of desolate years.
Only an emigrant lying there,
Lifel and mute in Halifax Bay;
But his soul was strong and his skies were fair,
When he left his home-a month to-day,
He fondled his child aud kissed his wife,
Ere he sought new scenes in the battle Of life.
Brawny his hands and brave his heart,
And firm bis belief that the hour would come
When those with whom he dreaded to part
Should join him sgain in Western home,
Hopeful and happy, and rich and free,
In better land beyond the sea.
Only an emigrants family there,
In the Irish home where the news has sped;
But the terrible look of utter despair
Ma kes the face OF the living as sad as the dead;
For the light of their lives went out that day,
When the ship struck the rocks in Halifax Bay
Only an emigrant lying there,
WIN his parted lips grown ashen gray,
With the sea damp on his yellow hair
And his face aghast In Deaths dismayi
oh, merciful Col take his soul to Thee,
In better land beyond the sea!
