a lloHRI3LE OCCuRREscE.-On
Thanksgiving day Annie, daughter OF
jacob Bender, OF Small's Mil, Quincy
township, Franklin Co, Penpa., disop-
pcarcd. She was about 25 years Of age,
of weak mind and subject 10 fits. She
had been TO a neighbor's and gotten q
pailful Of milk with some apples. The
snow ives falling. and when last secn
alive she had torpe1 into wood con.
yenient 10 the road. "Last Saturday
(says the Valley sp!rit,) when Dir.
John Bushman was passing through
this wood on sn errand, be saw buck
ct lying on the ground and rear il, clo.c
20 the fence, a portion CT w0man's
garments and some human bones.
Further search revealed that these gar
neu,s and bones were part Of the cloth
ing and remains Of Annie Bender.
The sight was horritying one. II
was apparent that the giIl bad come 10
her death from eTposure, having posi-
bly, fallen in one Of her 6ts, on the
ground and died there. After her
death, or, what would have been still
more terrible and quite as probable,
while she lay in the agonies OF death
the hogs attacked her and partially de-
youred ber. Net particle of her flesh
was left except that Of one foot which
was protected from tie iusks of the
brutes by her shoe. Her bones were
scattered around for rods, her ,knll ~
ing full forty yards away with The. low.
er jaw detached. Her shawl and por-
tons of her dress were found not far
from, where the body was supposed to
have lain" - s. sss

DIED on TIE DAY FIXED FOR HIS
WEDDING. We take the following
from the Big Lick (Roanoke county,
News of last week, which will be read
with sad intcrest by the many friends
Of young Douglas Warwick, whose
death occurred in Richmond last week:
"It has been an open secret for some
time among their intimate acquaintances
that Mr.. Douglas Warwick, of Rich
mopd, and Miss Nellie Burwell, of
Franklin county, were betrothod, and
they were to be married about the 1st
Of last month. Everything was in
readiness on the evening appointed for
the wedding, and carriage was sent
to the depot to meet the expected
bridegroom, but instead of tho gentle
man message came stating that sud.
den illness prevented his presence and
asking that the wedding be deferred.
Three times successfully 1t was post
poned for the same reason. But last
Wednesday-when for the third time
everything had been prepared for the
nuptials-came the most cruel blow of
all. Twas but natural that the young
lady sbould have felt some trepidation
at the approach of the carriage that had
thrice failed to fulfil its mission-and
the sad sequel proves that her appre-
tensions were not groundless. Instead
of greeting her future husband she re-
ceiyed the shocking intelligence that be
was dead. Let us draw a veil upon
the scene that followed; for the poig-
nnnt grief of widowed bride is too
sacred to be exposed to the curious
gaze of an unsympathetic world. Miss
Burwell was very popular among her
acquaintances, aud her sad misfortune
elicts the deepest sympathy from all
who know her.

CHORUS.
For Y oung IEcH 10 Remember.

The Albany Press urges young men
TO remember the following:
That clothes don't make the man.
That their fathers know moro than
they do.
That if they once get in debt they
may never get out OF 1t.
That parting the hair in the middle
brings on softening of the brain.
That TO deal honorably with all men
they begin with their washer-woman.
That they will need something more
substantial than cigars, light kids and
9 cane to start housekeeping with.
That they shonld devote some OF
their leisure moments to the improve
ment of their minds if they ever mean
10 amount to anything.
That an employer who hears OF a
clerk living in a style a good ways
above his salary is very apt to show
him the door when he least expects 1t.
That they can't reckon on their
fathers fortune to bring them through
lite Fortunes are slippery things
better have something besides to fall
back on.
That q girl who decks herself in the
latest things out and parades in the
street while her mother does the family
washing, isu't-worth wasting much
love on.
That a fellow who deliberately pro-
poses matrimony to a girl when he
can't support himself, is either first
class fraud or fool, unless he marries
fer money and becomes her 'hired man.
That if they wish to fall stark mad in
love with a girl because che is pretty
they ought TO be sure how much pow
der and paint there may be in the ques-
ton, and figure upon it accordingly.

IBY TELEGRAPH 10 THE rRIBuEEl
WASHINGTON, March IAN important omission
was made in the report of the action OF the RepuDn

discussion in regard to the two reports upon

perfect fairly adjusted system. he would propose
that committee of five should be appointed. TO re-
port within year plan for the election OF district
delegates He put his proposition in the form OF q
resolution, providing IN effect that the committee
shall embody in its next call, in accordance with
the directions of the National Conven-
ton, q provision arranging the representation
Of the various districts and the method of electng
their own delegates. Mr.. GOrham moved his own
proposltion as an amendment and the discussion
began anew but the amendment was Withdrawn
and the committee passed Mr.. Chambers resolution
by n unanimous vote. Thus 10 appears that the
subcommittee of five which the committee
provided for is not TO take into consideration the

Utica. N. T., Feb. 20, 1881.
fThe Secretaries named are not only heads OF de-
partments but members of an executive council,
whose advice Is sought and given on every public
question. Civilians who may be deficient in Dracti-
cal knowledge of the military aud naval services,
may also be wiser and more efficient political ad-
ysers than General or aD Admiral These two
services are so thoroughly organized that the in
terests of the country do not suffer from the mex
perience of the head of either department. With
General Sherman at military headquarters, the
Becretary of War cannot 20 amiss; but if General
Hherman shonId become Secretary of War the sys-
tenn of military appointments and promotions would
be disarrangcd. The French Ministers of War and
Marine are generally soldiers and sailors, but in
England the Secretary for War and the FIRST Lord
f the Admiralty are invariably civilians. In the
United States the English practice has been fol-
lowed. The Secretaries of the Navy have generally
been merchantsand lawyers from the days of Benja-
min Stoddert. who heads the list. The earlier
Secretaries of War knox, Pickering. McHenry and
Dearborn had necessarily seen service in the Revo-
mtionary Army with the great body of the public
ms of that period The fame of Stanton proves that
great war Minister doos not require a military
educstion.-Edl
