Mysterious lsisappearance.

Sometime last fall a young man nam
cd Scott, claiming TO hail from one OF
the Southern States, visited Stanton
In a short time forwards he was um-
ploved to take large of the public
school in that village, and discharged
the duties devolv'ng upon him very
satisfactorily. He also claimed to be
a Baptist and represented that he had
a license to preach the gospel, conse-
auently some friends procured the old
Union church, formerly occupied by
the Methodist nd Presbyterians, and
he preached e'eral very acceptable
sermons. In tins way he became rnther
popular and at the close of the school
for the summer, he expressed desire
to engage in the grocery business, and
accordingly rented one of the stores in
the Odd. Fellows hall, after which he
borrowed from his friends some 5000
and started for Phila. with the avow-
ed purpose of purchasing a stock of
goods. Some three weeks having elapsed
since his departure it is feared that he
has forgotten the object of his visit or
that some evil hath befallen him. At
any rata his friends in Stanton would
be glad to hear from him, as they are
to believing that their confidence has
been misplaced, and that another pro-
missing young man has gone wrong.

A HUSBAND REFUSES TO BURY HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Maria Horwath committed suicide
in New York, Friday afternoon, by taking
oxalic acid in the midst Of a paro1ysm Of
pain. Her husband made the following
statement to the coroner: "Mrs. Horwatb
often told me that she could not bear her
snfferings and would some time kill herself
to get rid of them. l never paid much at.
tention to her threats. because | did not be-
lieve she meant what she said. If had
ever had any idea that my wife would try
to TAX her own life | would be her death.
for she had no right to put ne to the trouble
that her suicide will cause me, nor to bring
disgrace and ruin both to my reputation
and business, rs she has now done. Yes. [
would beat her before she would have had
a chance to take her own life" So indig.
nant was the grocer over his wife's suicidal
act that he refused to bury her body, and
the coroner was compelled to order it's re.
moval to the morgue, to be buried at the
public expense.

Cosr OF RAISING COTTON. Col. W. $.
Lowell, a careful cultivator, has prepared
for the New Orleans Ptc,,yune a statistical
article relating to the cost of producing
cotton, from which it appears the total cost
is seven and three fourth cents per 10.
equal to $35. 60 per bale of AGO pounds.
When to this is added the cost of transpor-
tation from the landing or depot TO market,
and insurance and commissions for selling,
with drsyage, storage and other charges,
the gross cost is fully $3.50 or $3S. The
average price this season has scarcely
reached $45 per bale. The bulk of the
crop sold for less. During a large portion
of the year the prices current were actually
down to the cost Of production. Taking
the South as a whole the actual cost Of pro-
ducing aud marketing the great staple
during the current commercial year has ex-
ceeded $40 per bale, SO that the great crop
has left but little if any profit to the grower.

The hardest case of hard luck that has
got into the papers for a long while is re-
ported from Canada. William Plummer, q
farmer, was returning home from a trip to
Guelph last Saturday night, when his horses
ran away AMI threw him out of the wagon,
breaking his spine and sho~ulder-blade.
This was bad enough, but this was only the
beginning of Plummer's troubles. He had
fallen in the road opposite the house OF a
man named Grindle, and Grindle's dog at
once began making a great fuss. Grlndle
and his son went out to- Investigate, the
latter armed with a shotgun. Upon get
ting to the fence they saw the dog running
around something in the road, and Grlndle
ordered his son to fire at the object, winch
the latter proceeded to do, taking aim at a
white mark. After blazing away at the un-
known object the Grindles picked up cour.
age to 90 nearer and find out what sort of
game they had brought down. They dis
covered poor Plummer with an ugly wound
in the neck. the youthful Grindle's aim at
his white necktie having been only too true.
At last accounts the doctors had extracted
about fifty grains of shot from Plummer's
neck, but they had little hope OF his re-
covery. The Grindles ought to come
down to New York they are just the sort
of stuff New York policemen are made or.

ABOUT A HUMAN OTTER.-Reedy Rirer,
Laurence Comfy, .July l5.-Reedy river is
a poor stream for fish. Perhaps by a whole
days fishing the angler may be rewarded
by one half a dozen little catfish. We had
a visit last week. from the Raburn's creek
fishing otter. William Vaughan. He said
there was fish in the river, and he had come
after them. 1t was amusing to see him in
the shoals, diving dow under the rocks,
and bringing up the cats; sometimes he
would come up with one in each hand, and
occasionally with three fish, one in his
mouth and one in each hand. After fishing
the shoal he tried his land on suckers and
red horse in the deep water, diving down
under the banks and bringing up the fish
in his hands. He caught about twenty fine
suckers. weighing one, two and three
pounds each. Vaughan has been known to
catch as high as six suckers at one time In
his hands. He says, when under the water,
he can rub a sucker on the side and it Will
