of the widow Coward, member of
the mercantile Arm of Worthington

there was an old family horse, whicl.
had been known to be always as gen
tie as dog. Suddenly the beast was
seized with fit Of yicioysness, and,
pitched upon young Coward. Be
fore he could get away from the fer
rocious animal he was almost literal

almost all the muscles and flesh loose
from both arms above tie elbow. hati
also bitten him furiousIy in the sides,
on the hips and other places. DR..
Coward, uncle Of the young man,
was summoned and gave all the suRs

AYoUNG LADY IN QUEST OF NEE RELA-

On Thursday, June 9TH, o nice
looking young woman passed through
Yernonsvillc making inquiries for Q /.
Mr.. Woodward, stating that her
name was Woodward, that she had
Itwo sisters living with Benjamin Nor,
gan near the Trap in Pickens Coun-

from Pickens. She was dressed il 5
neat black dress with brown straw
hat, and striped shawl ON. her arm. q
She was directed to Jefferson
O'Shields, ut Reidvilie. From the
stores she passed on about half o
mile farther, asking for, Woodward.
Finally, abandoning all hope Of find
ing the person sought, she tnrnsd to-
ward Reidville, asking directions.
Sho arrived at AIoore's house just ,as
they were sitting down. to dinner.
She accepted an invitation to eat, and
departed. Mr.. Moore accompahiea
her short distance to the main road,
when she took her final leave, moth
ing more being heard of her. : i,t'l =
On Sunday, 9Th instant, two men
passing the road noticed an unusual
number Of buzzardsjust off from reo,rmp il.
On stopping and looking that way
they saw something unusual. and
first recognized the smell Of carrfon.
They went towards it and discovered
the body of the woman, The bnz-
yards had picked out her eyeg, the
body much swollen and discoloreds
the clothes were thrown up about her
waist, her throat was cut from ear to
ear and into the backbone, bullet
hole was in her right breast, worms
crawling in countless mnltitudes ip
every. cayity-the, hair was Kept in
motion by them. God grant may
never again sec such sight, (, J., j.

There is not the, slightest clue yet,

AGE FOR LEGAL MARRIAGEs.-There is
considerable deviation in the different Eu-
ropean States, in the age at which a legal
marriage can be contradicted. In Austria
the age discretion is fourteen years. In
Hungary each religious sect makes it's own
regulations-marriages being regarded as
entirely ecclesiastical affairs. Russians can
contract marriages at the age of eighteen
in case Of females. The Italian law fixes
the ages at eighteen and fifteen. respective
ly. In Turkey there is no general law. The
French and Belgian codes allow marriages
of young men at eighteen and girls at fifteen
years, but the powers of dlspensation in
special cases are reserved. In Greece, Spain
and Portugal, parties of fourteen and twelve
years can contract . binding marriage, but
in the latter country the consent Of the pa
rents is necessary. According to the amen
ded paragraph of the new civil marriage
bill, in Germany, the state of wedlock can
not be entered upon under twenty and six
teen years, respectively, though the exis-
ting laws of Prussia and Saxony permitted
marriages at earlier periods. There is much
dissimilarity in the Swiss laws, every can
ton having a regulation of it's own. In some
of them the consent of parents is necessary,
up to twenty-five years. The influence OF
climate upon the temperament and consti.
tuition, is allowed in the Southern nations,
where maturity is reached at a much earlier
period than among Northern nations.

Romance to Real Life.

Some years ago, one fine summer morn
ing, a dozen students were strolllng about
the gardens Of the University of Cpsaia,
Sweden. Among them was a poor young
man. the son of IA poor widow, gifted ana
Woodworking as a Bendictine monk, and an
unusually rich Swedish count. Suddenly
the presidents daughter appeared, young
girl of exquisite beauty and great modest
and refinement. And yet a wild idea all at
once dawned on the brain OF the shabby,
pennies, student. Count" said he, ''be-
that adorable young LADY," Then you
know each other!'' No IF you make
good your assertion said the count, by
the honor of a nobleman I'll give you five
hundred pounds" This seemed fabulous
sum to the impenious youth and spurred
him on to his only half formed purpose, as
he went up to the young lady and saluted
her respectfully.
Il have often heard my father speak of
your exemplary diligence, Master Karl, and
am deeply interested in you said the
the sweet young girl with modesty. i wish
l were able to do anything for you. Can IL
Eyes, my dear fofhen" miss, replied the
young Swede, and, stammering and blush
ing while he strove to su5due the admira-
| ton which his eyes would express, he told
what had passed between himself and the
| count, at the same moment begging her
pardon with unmistakable sincerity. After
a seconds thought, the young lady quietly
approached, kissed the stuuent's cheek and
passed into her fathers house. Bravo"
said the count, who had witnessed the
scene. ''That kiss has cost me a pretty
round sum-, but | don't begrudge the money.
This on account and he slipped a roll of
gold into the students hand. From that
time Karl was the best dressed as we'll as
the most industrious student in the Univcr-
sity of Upsala. Every one supposed he had
inherited a little fortune from some rela-
tive, but he kept his own counsel, and would
have been the last one to have betrayed the
maidenly concession he had received, hav-
ing also pledged the count to secrecy.
In the meantime he became a constant
guest at the presidents house. He ardent
ly wooed the presidents daughter and won
gagement. II have the fullest faith IN you,
Karl" said he, ''but | must confess | should
like to be satisfied as to the source Of you1

Then the dear girl told the story. 'Karl, ;

OIL ON TIE TROUBLED WATERS. We
find the following IN the scientific column
of the New York Ledger, being condensed
from an article in Chambers Journal, to
which it was contributed by Alex. Sprunt,
Esq, British Vice Consul at Wilmington.
Mr.. Sprunt's season for sending the paper
to Mr.. Chambers was the fact that he had
already preached the subject in his col
umnS:
The British Vice Consul at Whining
ton, n. c., has sent to Mr.. William Cham
bers, of Edinburg, the deposition of a sea
captain, tending to confirm the view tina
oil may be advantageously employed to
calm a stormy sea, and thus avert ship
wreck. In April last the brigantine Gem,
Of Sackville, New Brunswick, Richardson,
master. encountered a heavy gale about one
degree east of Bermuda. 1t blew a hurri-
cane from the northwest about thirtv-six
hours, with a cross sea, so that the hatch
was stove in, the boats received much in
jury, and the try-sail was blown away. As
the sea rose higher the captain resolved to
resort to the oil experiment. He had a can
vass bag prepared holding a small quantity
of kerosene oil, and trailed it in the sea to
windward, with a rope six fathoms long.
The oil leaking through the canvass saws
the deposition, greatly broke the topping
sea, and made matters much more favor,
able for the ship. The mate, who had him
self dashed to the rigging during the whole
of his watch, believed, with the captain,
that the resort to the oil saved the shin
The most extraordinary part Of this story is
that only about three quarts of oil are said
to have been used, and that this quantity
could have produced any appreciable effect
is marvellous indeed. According to Mr.
Chambers, however, the waves are not les
sened in size by the action of the oil, bu
are prevented from breaking"

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC.
A TRIBUTE To THE MEMORY OF MISS MANY
FLORENCE REEVES.

We miss thee when the suns last ling r1ng ray
Fades softly with each lonely, dying day;
We miss thy smiles around the social hearth
That winning voice SO fraught with loving mirth.
It's true the tenderest buds must fade,
The loveliest flower pine;
But, like sweet incense, they must leave
A rich fragrance behind.
The silent tear alone can tell
How much we love thee-or how we'll
Our spirits bow with sadest, pungent slgh
To breathe those farewell words goodbye.
Yet memory lives-and in her casket fair
Thine image bright shall beam forever there;
It's beauty crowned with an eternal youth
OF maiden emibility and truth.

NAVIGATION NOTES.

Return of Capt. HolcOmb from the Ited
Riyer-Reportorial Surmises as to the
Situation of tho Red River Transporta-
ton Company.
Capt. E. v. Holcomb superintendent OF the
Red River Transportation company, returned
Yesterday from looking after the company's
affairs along tho Red River. Soon after Capt.
Holcomb's return he was met by GLOBE re-
porter, who, of course, asked questions as only
a reporter can. But the captain is not good
talker, at least he wasn't yesterday. 1t was
ascertained, however, that one OF the poats Oh
between Fishers Landing, Grand Forks and
Pembina. The Manitoba, as reported by our
Winnipeg correspondent, was at that point,
but the transfer of the boat into q
British BOTTOM as reported by the corresponds
ent, is not certainty, at least so the reporter
understands. The reporter further sarmlses'
though the captain did not say 80, that ne ex-
poets the Red River Transportation company to
run its boats from st. Vincent through to Win
nipeg this season just as it has for the last ten
years.
As has been before stated the st. Paul Il Pa
ci6c company is building spur track from Its
| st, Vincent terminus, distance OF mile, 10 .
| good landing on the river. This spur track VII
ha cOmDleted the last of this week or first OF next
and then the railroad will be IN condltlol
to begin delivering freight to boats, and aDou'
this time, the reporter surmises, the Red hive
Transportation company's boats will be ready
| to receive it. Undoubtedly Capt. Holcomt
knows more about this than the reporter, but
as mentioned above, he was not in talkin|
humor yesterday, and the reporter to max
this item of news. has been obliged to pu
cause and effect in juxtaposition, and reason !
out himself, and he now gives it for What 1t
worth.
The Anna, Capt. Jerry Wood, which passe
Hastings at o'clock yesterday morning, ha
not put in an appearance at the time this tier
was put in type, but she is undoubtedly at tn
levee this morning.
