Women do. Not long ago a young
woman In New Jersey was married to a
youthful laborer on her fathers farm.
Sometime afterward 1T was discovered
that the husband was a female; the

earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort. The strang-
est part OF tho discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was a
woman before she was led TO the altar

fatuation for oae Of their W sex, they
at least often times give evidence Of the
fact that they love one another. There
are many instances on record where one
man has given his life for another.

attempt to break his 2:15H record was
unsuccessful, owing to n break on the

HENRY, :. D., Oct. 2l.-A row occurred
at Henry last week between John 5.
Ofley and Robert Harvey, both farmers.
1t seems that it grew out of an old feud
which has existed between the parties
for some time. They met in the barn
of the former and after n few angry
words came to blows. The latter, being
much the stronger and younger man,
was getting the best Of it, when Ofliey
drew a heavy pocket knife and struck
Harvey a blow in the face, cutting
through the lower part of the nose and
laying open both lips in the center and
cutting the chin to the bone.

Prairie dogs, it appears from a recent
letter by DR.. Wilder, lack the sense OF
distance. AT Cornell university several
of them walked off chairs, tables aud
window stills unhesitatingly. This is
thought to be due to the nature of their

inequalities than burrows and mounds.

villages each of which presented the APP
pearance of ar irregular fort, the whole
group OF houses being bound together
by a formidable wall, apparently sufi.
cient as a defense againstanything short
of artillery. The habitations of the

ries Of such fortresses, sometimes only
100 or 200 yards apart, while occasionally
"a massive castellated storehouse fol
portable property lowered up within the

were intended as safe receptacles for

of this defensive system is said to be
a %precaution against robbery, though
he thinks that feuds and clan fights be.
