A Bloody Array.


John Ryan and John Martin We're at
Cromwell last Saturday, and ON their
return home, near "Biddie JOrnagin's''
gate, they fell out and concluded to
fight tout. Some of their acquaintance
were present and just let fem rip"
Ryan got knocked down and also cut in
the leg, supposed to have been done
with his own knife, as it is known that
he had or used knife. Martin got one
ear cut off, a severe cash i'm the face
near the mouth, several stabs in the
back, and pretty badly used generally
Martin lives in Butler county, and we
understand was carried home Sunday,
and Ryan was at last accounts at Mr.. J..
H. Tarrence's. We suppose they will
both recover, and we feel certain that
the Commonwealth ought to recover
from one or the other, or may he both
of them, a considerable sun, for the
wound inflicted in her peace, dignity,
law and order. The papers are out, and
no doubt they will get justice.

A wedding that did not wed. Mis-.
Flora Dean, Of Breckenridge county,
well known in Hartford, was made the
victim of the untrustworthinesso of man
in very embarrassing manner on the
18th inst. a man by the name of Hard.
away, of Bewleyville, was engaged to
marry Miss Dean, and extensive pre-.
partitions had been made to have an ele-
giant wedding. But the groom failed to
come to time. Such infidelity should
be punished severely. Society should
shut down upon the too common prac.
tice of trifiing with the affections of tn,
young. Miss Dean has the synpathie.
of her friends. There is nothing meanel
no practice more censurable than d
wilful betrayal of confidence under pro
fession of love. We do not pass judg
ment upon either party in the above
case-not knowing what modifying. cir.
cumstances there may be. But there
certainly is no excuse for Hardaway
not giving notice of his declining in
time to save the family the trouble ant
embarrassment of preparing for the
wedding.

Old Maidism.

A very foolish and yet very prevalent
prejudice is entertained against unmar-
ried women as a class. This we heldto
be as absurd as it is ungenerous. We
will start with the totally unchristian
axiom that women are vastly superior to
the ''lords of creation'' in goodness.
This point admitted-and what man
will gainsay tive proceed to argue
that among the many good women in
this very good world, as worlds go, there
will be quite number far above their
sex, and so, by consequence, incalcuia-
bly, above the best of men. 1t might
often happen that the ladies of great
spiritual altitude would never meet in
the course of their lives man grand
enough to mate with them. To unite
with man whom they do not feel to be
their equal would be almost as great an
outrage on the finer instincts as marry
ing for money, which is meaner, viler
thing than any animal could possibly
dream of. Besides this there are many
old maids who have had numerous Of
fers, but they, with fidelity worthy a
better thing than man, cling to some
first fancy-some memory Of a lover
who has passed away. That there are
old maids of a sour aspect, s'with lips
severe and eyes of formal cut" we do
not deny, but we believe them from our
observation to be very few compared
with legions OF "poky" old bachelors
who infest the shady side of forty-ive,
and soon after retire from world where
we hope they will know better. In short,
we conclude That, while it is also best
for man to be married, it is often the
wisest thing woman can do to remain
single.-BaHinsore Egery Saturday.

Singing Mice.

Reading the article in your November
number from Nature on "Sinpinp
Mice" recalls my experience with one
of these interesting little animals: Some
years since, while residing at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, one of these vocal mice
made its appearance,ing my house. The
sounds were noticed some time before
the animal was SEEM AAswith MI. lees
mice, there, was a. canary-bird. in the
room. and for time the notes coming
from the wall were attributed to the
canary. At last, however, the mouse
would come out on the carpet seeking
for crumbs, and there sing. The notes
were almost Identical with those of q
canary. 1t would not trill so long, but
in pitch and tone were aidentieal-at
least to an .unmusical ear. The same
filing and throbbing in the throat seen
in bird were also seen in the mouse
while he sang. The sound was not
sibilant, but strictly canorous with the
pitch OF an ordinary canary. After this
mouse had furnished entertainments for
a month to myself and family, I, found
him SO tame I could touch him, !. and
that he was utterly blind 1t was very
touching to see the gentle little creature
turn up its cloudy, sightless eyes to the
candle when he was brought near to it
on thesfloor Of The dininglroor1.s Small
parties would assemble in the evening
to. hear this wonderful little vocalist
without frightening him. He would
come out on the carpet with all the con-
fidenee and aploDlb,of an old acter, and
delight his hearers. Il was afraid to
keep him in confinement for fear he
would die. Our cat wsstbAhishadtfbr

any traps for fear he would be caught,
