A WOMAN CHANGING INFO MAN.
Wonders will never cease. We thought
they would few years since when 4
Young lady of this city-or ut any rate Il
person who was supposed by the imnIedi-
ate family as we'll as all acquaintance to be
a young lady-turned out to be 4 man.
She was probably twenty-onc years of
age when this strange metamorphosis oc-
Cured An equally remarkable and well
authenticated case is related by the Du-
buoue Tines. Major Powell, formerly
editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, some
ten years ago married all accomplished
young lady in Brodhead, Wis. Soon at
ter the marriage change in the wife be-
gan to take place her complexion became
swarthy and a beard began to grow,
which demanded and received the assldu-
Gus attention of Il razor. Other physical
changes went oil, and after the couple had
been reasonably happily married for pc
riod Of nearly three years, it became I'M
possible to deny the fact that the girl was
more than woman.
A visit was made to Chicago, al emil
nent physician was consulted, who con-
tirmed the suspicion. and the MajO and
his wife separated, there being no mdtri-
monial provision to bind two males to-
awaited himself of his prCrogatiyc, put
away crinoine and donned male habili-
ments, and commenced work ut IL drug
store in Chicago under the name of Z. w.
Burnham, change in the given name
only being made to suit the change in
sex. During the period young Burnham
had lived rs woman the acq uaintance
had been formed Of another young woman
which acquaintance was renewed, and III
course of time they were married. This
couple are travelling through the West
with dramatic company known as the
Burnham novelty company. These facts,
says the Dubuque Times, are all well au-
thenticated. Mr.. Burnham is the nephew
of prominent citizen of Minneapolis, in
whose family he lived as a charming
young girl for considerable time, and is
the subject of one of those curious freaks
in nature which are rare, but undoubtedly
occur

AN OUTRAGEOUS RAPE on You've
LADY.-On Wednesday of last week, at
the residence OF Maj. Arch. Taylor, near
Keezletown, Shenandoah county, Va, an
outrageous rape was perpetrated on a
young lady named Ada Black, aged about
Is years, (whose father was violently
killed few years ago. the particulars Of
which are rs follows: Two men and a wo-
man, supposed to be Gipsies, visited Maj.
Taylor's, the two men going inside and
the woman remaining on the outside of
the dwelling. While the diabolical act
was committed one of the wretches held
the victim down. There was none of
Maj. Taylor's family at home, and no one
near to give the alarm. Miss Black de-
scribes the men as dark Completed, of
youthful appearance, one with nous
tache, and the other clean shaved. She
was struck in the side and head and par
TALLY disabled before the hellish act was
committed. The country around keezle-
town we learn is ablaze with indignant
people who are on the search for the GRIM
inals, and whom if caught will be very
apt to meet with swift retributiou.

FOR CONGRESS,
Hon. Daniel b. Lucas.

Mr.. Editor-People are beginning TO
talk about candidates for Congress al
ready. We don't take any active part in
politics, but we should like 10 have the OPP
portunity of voting for Hon. ID. B. Lucas
this Fall. 1t seems to Ills that Mr.. Lucas
has been electing men 10 Congress long
enough now lit is time there Was change
made. Considering his superior Qualifica-
lions for the position, and the personal
sacrifices that he has made for the good of
q party and the various candidates;
there is no man who presents as strong
claims to the Democrats of the End Dis
trict, rs ID. b. Lucas. Since the State has
been divided into four districts the Demo
cratic majority of this district has been
fearfully diminished. There certainly
will not be much margin TO throw away
votes on inferior candidates. Ii that Sort
of thing goes OH, we are likely 10 get most
disaStrONsly defeated-a thing that will
be most unfortunate for the Democracy of
the country at large.
We then say lot every democrat and
other friends of Mr.. Lucas put their shout
ders 10 the wheel and his nomination and
election is fixed fact. We regard MIR.
/. a> one of the ablcSt men OF the State,
and his services in the Halls OF Congress
would prove incalculable benefit 10 our
rich and prosperous little State. ii.

The Oxford Reunion

AT the meeting of the committee Of arrange
ments for the Oxford reunion Saturday after
noon, it was announced that over 100 persons
had responded to the cards of invitation and
stated their intention to be present. From
other sources the committee have information
which leads them to think at least $50 ladie
and gentlemen will sit down to the reunion
dinner on the evening of March 4th. In all
probability the reunion will be held at the Fall
mouth Hotel. AS Elk Gov. Washburn notified
the committee that he will be unable to be
present at the reunion, Hon. George F. Emery,
after much urging from the other members OF
the committee, consented to act as chairman,
AS this change left the office of POSTMASTER va
can't, it was the unanimous vote of the COM
mittee to invite George f. Holmes, Esq, to fill
that position. Mr.. Holmes was subsequently
informed of the action of the committee and
promised to act as POSTMASTER. Hon. George
f. Emery has written a very pleasing song,
dedicated to the "Oxford Bears" which will
be sung at the reunion.
