a Girl Buried Alive.

An awful sensation has been created by
the discovery that Miss Ilockwalt, young
lady of high social connections in Dayton,
Ohio, who was supposed to have died sud
denly on the 10Th of January, WAS actually
buried alive. The circumstances OF her
supposed decease were so peculiar that
they were recorded in the papers. Shortly
before o'clock she had dressed herself
for the nuptials of her brother to Miss
Emma Schmind in st. Michael's Church.
Soon afterwards she was found sitting on
i chair in the kitchen, with her head lean
ing against the wall and apparently life
less. Medical lid WAS summoned, and DR..
Jewett, after examination, pronounced
her dead. Mass was being read ut st.
Michael's Church, and it was proposed to
postpone the wedding. Father llahncy
thought it best to continue, and the we'd
ding was con>unmated in gloom by low
mass. Examination show ed that Anna
was of eXcitablc temperament, nervous,
aid afflicted with sympathetic consnmp-
ton OF the heart. DR.. Jcwett thought this
the oause Of the supposed death, and on
the following day size was Inferred in
Woodland. Friends OF Miss Eockwa!t
were unable to forget the terrible impress
sion, and several ladies observed that rs
her ears bore Il remarkably natural color,
and could not dispel the idea that she was
not dead, they conveyed their opinion TO
.inna's parents, and the thought preyed
upon them, ana the body was taken from
the grave. 1t is stated that when the
coffin was opened it was discovered that
the supposed inauimate body had turned
over on its right side. The hair OF the
head had been torn out by the handful,
and the nails OF the fingers had been Bit
ten from the bones. The body was rein
TERED and efforts were made to deny the
case; but there are those who state that
they saw the body and know Of the truth
OF the facts narrated.

a Battle with Crows.

Courtney Prince, Il young man living
OH the Conduit Road, had 4 very narrow
escape recently while cunning near Po-
tomac Landing. In this neighborbOod is
the rOOSting place of the thousands Of
crows that fly over this city toward sun
set, and which through the cold weather
have been almost starved. Prince, while
making his way up the steep bank OH the
Virginia side, started up an immense
flock, which not rclishing his presence
turned upon him and made fight. For 4
willie lie battlcd with them successfully,
but lis they were re-enfOrccd by new le-
giOns he was gradually becoming ex-
hauoted, and might have been killed if
the struggle had not attracted the atten-
ton OF some caHalmen OH tile opposite
side Of tho river. Four of them Selling
slaves crossed the river on the leo and
made havoc among the frcnzicd birds.
The black harpics were finally beaten off,
and young Prince carried TO place of
safety, where il was found that lie had
received several severe cuts in the face,
besides having his clothes torn in shreds.
After the departure Of the men the crows
fell to eating their own dead and wound
ed. which it is said numbered several
hundred, their noise being heard for miles
around. The present winter has been an
extremely hard one OH these sCayengcr
birds, and it is now not uncommon to
have them attack COWS and sheep.-Wa

A special from Frederick, Nd, says
that at an early houra few mornings since
there arrived in that city i couple of youth
full lovers on matrimony bent. They had
outwitted their watchful parents. Her
name was Victoria +. VIII, the favorite
daughter of a Virginia farmer living near
Mount Jackson, Shenandoah county, va.
Charles S. Stanton, her companion, is a
young man living in the neighborhood.
His attentions to Miss Will were greatly
opposed by the young lady's parents, al
though 'reciprocatcd by herself. The
sturdy opposition of the parents became
unbearable, and the two lovers decided to
run away and get married. Monday night
was set for the evcntful flight, and while
her family were enjoying sweet and peace
full dreams, her lover stole silently to the
house and bore away his treasure. The
maiden had no time to prepare for the
journey, and bareheaded, barcfooted, and
thinly clad in her night garments, lie car
ried her to all adjoining farm house, where
her toilet was completed, she having
placed her clothing in a bundle. They
then proceeded to the railroad station, ac-
companicd by a number Of friends, and ar
rived in Frederick the next morning. y
marriage license was procured, a minister
visited, and the runaway lovers were soon
made one.

y new kind Of railway ticket is coming
to the front. 1t is best explained by TAX
ing the Grand Trunk as an example. That
road prints book of tickets containing
! 600 or 800 or 30 tickets on a page, each
ticket good for one mile. These littlc tick
cts are smaller than postage stamps tTen-
ty on sheet, and perforated. You can
buy two, twenty or 4 thousand of them ut
Il fixed rate, and the company on its part
is bound TO accept one of them for every
mile YOU travel. You will not be required
to tell the ticket-Scller where you want to
90; you will say give me hundred miles,
or twenty miles. or thousand miles, and
get OH board and give the conductor
enough OF the squares to carry you to your
destination. There will then be no such
thing as lay-over tickets, or trouble of
getting tickets changed, or loss OH through
tickets not uscd-theSe little tickets will
be as good AS money, and always current.
The road Oh its part will be duly protected
from scalpers and the like. The new sys-
TEN has received the endorsement of the
better class Of passengers, agents and
travellers, and has been adopted OIL several
of the Western roads. liberated Railway

Footprints 10000 Years Old.

The Poruenr Of Managna, Nicaragua,
publishes the following interesting archie
illogical item: CDR. Earl Flint came here
from Rivas last week for the purpose OF
inspecting traces of human footsteps
which have been discovered In quarry
owned by Senior 4. Reyes, at depth oil
fifteen feet from the surface. Traces of
these footsteps were first noticed in some
stone which had been quarried and was
being employed in the erection of house.
Tie doctor calculates these prints to be at
least fifty thousand years old. They are
Of several sizes, rs if made by men, wo-
men and children, who have thus left
proof Of their existence in prehistoric al
luvial earth, since converted into rock.
In other excavations in the neighborhood
several pieces of earthernware pottery,
standing on three legs, painted In black,
red and silver colorS, and the drawings or
which are entirely etruscan, have been
obtained. On one Of them dressing gown
is drawn almost OH the European model

The new colossal bronze statue of Gen.
Robert f. Lee, which the Henry & Bon
nard Manufacturing Company Of New
Yori, have just completed, is one Of the
largest ever cast in this country. The
figure stands IL feet high on the plinth,
is cast in six sections, and weighs in all
nearly 1000 pounds. The head alone
weighs 3O5 pounds. 1t represents Gen.
Lee in an easy, natural position, standing
erect with folded arms, rs though over
looking the field Of battle. He is dressed
i'll full service uniform, with cavalry
boots, and the sword strapped at his side
measures eight feet from tip to hilt. The

the lapel of his coat instead of on his col
lar. The figure was modelled in the old
State House in New Orleans by Mr.. AL
exandcr Doyle, of Moilitt & Doyle, of New
York. On Saturday the statue was ship
ped in a huge box to New Orleans, where
it will be set in position in a public square

Got Into the SYrOn. Pants.

During the early part of last week
Henry Clark, conductor OH the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. who had left his
home in Baltimore with the expectation
of making the run to Martinsburg, w.
Va, changed his mind and returned NJ a
late hour the same night. He st once re-
tired, his wife having already done so.
Soon afterward the wife complained OF
cramps, and asked her husband to go to a
drug store for some medicine. He hastily
drew on pair Of trousers and set out for
the store. HIS surprise may be imagined
when on looking down, while waiting for
tic medicine, he found his trousers sew
eral inches too short. lie felt something
bulky in one of his pockets, and putting in
his hand, drew from it 4 roll OF bills
amounting 20 $3.50. lie then concluded
that his presence ut home was far more
urgent than his wife's necessity for the
medicine, and FASTENED there, but the man
who had invaded his home and " ith whom
lie had unwillingly changed clothing, had
by this time beaten haSty retreat. Tho
trousers which the latter took away be-
longed to the husband, and contained only
few dollars. As the wife was not able
to explain matters satisfactorily, the hus-
band ordered her to leave the house also,
with which request she complied. Papers
for i divorce will be filed.

What They Esat ira AIsacc.

The United States Consular report on
the trade aud industries of Alsace says
Owing % the poor crops OF late years, and
the high prices of pork and beef, the con-
sumption of horse flesh for food has sem
sibly increased in AlSace. The flesh of
100 horses is catea every week; the re-
tailerS sell the choice cuts for about eight
cents per pound, and for ordinary six
cents. y large quantity of horse-tlesh is
used in the manufacture of sauSages. All
horses arc, before and after being killed,
given strict examination, and if found in
any way diseased are rejected. The price
OF this meat roIders it possible for many
of the working people to have meat oeca-
sionally upon their tablO, which would
otherwise be impossible, The consump-
ton Of horsc-hesh is principally confined
to the working classes. The flesh of 80
horses is eaten every week in StrasbGrg.
