On yesterday we came into possession of the particulars of a most, singular and fearful tragedy, which recently occurred in one of the mountain counties of this State. ; The gentleman from whomwe received the infor mation has requested us to give neither the name-of the county in which the horrible scene took place nor the names of the actors in it ; in the first place, because the families of the parties are among the best and most respectable in the county and should not be subjected to this additional mortification for an act which they can in no manner be held responsible, and in the second place, because puonciiy wouia now in no way suoserve tne ends ot justice, as the guilty party has alrea dy expiated his crime by so fearful a punish ment. - I In one of the mountain counties of Georgia there live two families, each before the war noted for its wealth and refinement. Since the war the families (whom we shall call re spectively R. and L.) though they had, like nearly every one else, lost everything by the conflict, still retained the high position in so ciety which they had for so long a time held. One of them, the L's, lost several of its mem bers, as well as its fortune, by the war, and at the commencement of our story consisted of Mr. L., a gentleman fifty-five years of age, his wife, nearly the same age, and an. unmar ried daughter of about twenty-five. Within a quarter of a mile of their house lived one of the Ksa young man who had recently mar ried a very beautiful young lady of the coun ty, and having left the paternal mansion was farming by himself on a small tract of ground. The two families lived some distance from the county town in a sparsely inhabited section of country, and being each the nearest neigh bor of the other, were of course on terms of great intimacy. -Between the young wife and the daughter of Mr. L. j a fast friendship was soon formed, both being nearly the same age and ot similar tastes and dispositions, and relying upon each other for company in the daily absence of the two gentlemen, who were engaged in superintending the business of heir larms. ' ' A few days since Mri R. informed his wife hat he had received a letter, which would compel immediate attendance in Atlanta, where he would have to remain for several days, and as it would be inconvenient for him o take her with him to that city, advised that she should ; ask her young neighbor to stay with her during his absence. The next morning he set out in his buggy for Atlanta, and his wife during the1 morning went over to L s house for the purpose ot inviting her young in end to stay with her. when she arrived there she told the young lady of the absence of. her husband, representing how onely she would find her house at night from the fact that she employed "no house servant, and her cook together with the lew laborers employed on the farm, slept at the " negro quarters," nearly half a mile from the dwell ing house, and ended by asking Miss L. to spend the nights with her until her husband j l nTi i i Pl . 1a i reiurueu. ne young i iaay. aiter consulta tion with her mother, readily assented to the proposition and promised to come over during the atternoon. Having accomplished her pur pose and feeling very much relieved in mind, Mrs. R. returned home and spent the day, performing the usual household duties. When the morning had passed and the afternoon came and then the sun set without bring her friend, she felt no alarm, but thought that the latter had decided not to come till after tea, when her father, across the fieldi which separated the Iwo houses, would escort her. Accordingly the evening meal was eaten, household affairs arranged and the cook dis missed for the night to her distant cabin at the " quarter." About j nine o'clock Mrs. R began to feel a little uneasy, as Miss L. had not yet come, when a servant came up to the house and brought a note from . her expected friend, .stating that she would be unable to spend the night with her, as she had promis ed, for her father, from some cause or other, had positively refused to give his consqnt to the arrangement. After delivering thi note the servant took his departure, and the brave woman prepared to spend the night by her self. Feeling that she had a protector in a , large and very fierce yard dog belonging to her husband, she took him into her bed room, and, after securing the house, lay down and resigned herself to sleepl About twelve o'clock she was awakened from her slumbers by a noise in .the house and the angry growling of the dog, and dis covered that the hall door had been forced and that some one was standing at her room door seeking an entrance. Speaking as loud ly as her fright would let her ,Mrs. R. asked, did not recognize "replied by telling her to r' open the door." Again she asked the same question and again received the same reply, the stranger adding that if she refused he would "break the d d door down." During this dialogue the dog, still growling, crouch ed upon the floor as if ready to spring. Think ing to intimidate this man, who sought her rum, Mrs. R. cried to Him that if . he forced the door she would shoot. Laughing scorn fully the ruffian threw his weight against the door, burst it open and entered the room, when, quick as thought the savage dog sprang toward him and fastened on his neck. The man, astonished at this sudden attack, at tempted to kill the dog with a knife which he held in his hand, but unsuccessfully, and the powerful animal '' dragged him to the round, still retaining his hold upon his throat, tunned at first by this unlooked for deliver- ance, the woman in a tew seconds regained her presence of mind somewhat, ran scream ing irom the house, never stopping until she arrived at the place of the L s, where her cries soon aroused the family. Her tale was rapidly told, and the servants were preparing to go to the scene of danger, when suddenly Mr. L. was missed, and his wife, almost on the instant, as jf struck by a sudden presentment, screamed " Merciful God I it must be my hus band I With a cry ot horror the party set forth, and ran as fast to the house of Mrs. R. as the latter, had run away from it a few min utes before.. Arrived there they found the man still on the floor and the dog Btill grasp ing his throat Beating him t away from his prey they found the suspicions of Mrs. L. but too correct: . it was her husband : but the ', , j Prom tte Detroit Free Treat, A REMARKABLE NEGRO THE PRINT OF A WHITE HAND OVER HIS HEABT-AN OIL SKlN BAG AROUND nis NECK. j - - - ' '..-- Yesterday afternoon, near the foot of Cass street, a negro who had lately armed on a teeth of the dog had done their work and he1:1' d,srJbed hirnsc f and proceeded to take was dead. i a sym under the d .Uter dieting for a wuue, a strange mart on ms leit Driasl caugnt the eyes ot some idlers! and as he came out to - It appears that he , had returned to his home at five o'clock on the previous evening, and hearing of the departure ot R. . and the intention of his daughter to spend the night with the young wife, he positively refused to allow her to do bo, assigning some frivolou3 cause for the refusal. That night he left home, saying that he was going to set up all night -with a sick neighbor who lived some mile3 distant. ,lt is. supposed that he conceal ed himself in the woods until midnight, and then,' influenced hy unholy lust, forced an entrance, into the house- of R. to violate the person of the wife of the latter. When the case became known the most intense excite ment prevailed in the county, and had not Providence punished the criminal he would Erobably have been huug to the nearest tree y the enraged populace. AN INTERPRISING PEOPLE. The people of Chicago are certainly an en terprising people. In early marriages and car lier divorces; in real estate speculations and huge concert halls; in surpassingly horrid murders and" unparalleled domestic scandal; they have long been a head and shoulders above their less lively neighbors of " Bostinjr" and Go'tham. And how "they have added another them hold the bag in their hands; ii they lost laurel (the sweetest of all) to the wreath that any property, he slept with the bag under his has hitherto encircled and ornamented " Shi. pillow lor three nights in succession, and on tagg's" fair young brow, , tDe tnrd night he was sure to dream just who It is now reported that a company hasestab- t00 luc property, if it was stolen, and where ished a manufactory in that city for the pur- lt tnen M " it had been los. don his garments, an investigation revealed a curious freak of dame Nature. While the rest of the body was coal black, a spot just over the heart was a perfect imitation of a small hand, and the finger and thumb, which were dcleniat ed very distinctly, were as white as the skin of any Caucasian. The palm of the hand was th ere, four fingers, spread apart, the thumb partially bent down in fact, just as if a child of six or eight had laid a hand on the dark slin aLd burred its. impress into the flesh. During the conversation which ensued, the man seated that the mark was one of distinction; that Providence had placed it there as a sign thai he would be a great doctor and spirit me dium ; and perform wonderful charms and cures. Around his neck was an oil skin bag, hold ing, perhaps, half a pint, and in this, he stated, were charms that would keep away evil spirits, and protect him from eickness and death. He refused to let his questioners see the chirms, but allowed them to handle the sack, the con- tents of which felt like glass, nails, pebbles,tc. The negro was he said, a great " fetish man" among his race in Buffalo. If anything ailed one of them, he could produce a cure by letting nose ot distilling alcohol and extracting soao grease from the ordinary city garbage. The process, which is patented, consists in taking the garbage just as it is hauled off in the city carts, dumping it into tight tanks, and boiling it six hours at a temnerature of 212 decrees Fahrenheit. The whole mass is then dissolved and run into tubes and fermented by the aid of yeast. The soap, grease and impurities rise to He said he could detect a man who wanted to steal, by just gitting his eves on him so" and he crossed his huge optics and squinted over the crowd in a way that made an old pea nut woman drop her basket from fright. Whether or not he observed any would be thieves among the spectators did not transpire, as the " fetish man" felt compelled to go aboard his vesel just then. How the. singular marks came on his breast he could not tell ; it was Street Etiquette Wale iso with I1k dies. Only villagers or persona with runtl ideas any longer contend that ladies should always be given the inside of the pavement in passing. The rale adopted in cities is rld turn to tho right, whether the rigtt Ledto the wall or to the gutter, and an obcryanc of this common wn?e rule would obviate much unpleasant scrouging" by over-gallant geri tlemen who persistently crowd for the ouUida of the walk. Another common cisUm, &nd required by fashionable etiquette, aad one which is nearly as inexplicable and absiTrJ ai the practice of a whole string "of men 'fclinij out of a church pew, making, themselves &t ridiculous as an awkward squad" practic ing at catching step," in order to give a woman the wrong end of the pew, is that of a man ; when on a promenade or a walk witli a lady, fo keep himself on the outside of th' pavement. A little exercise of judgment will convince any person of the utter nselcssnei of this bobbing back and forth at every cor toer. The common rul'is this: If a man and woman are walking she should always be at his right arm, whether it be toward the in side or outside of the walk ; then the woman will not be shoved against the passers.

The Baltic Fire Insurance Company, which failed day before. yesterday, began business in 1864 with a capital stock of S20U,U00, and from the start has been unsuccessful, never having paid a dividend, and each year showing a lar ger expenditure than receipts. Of coarse its collapse was but a question ot time. .Hue. aU tention of Mr. Barnes, the superintendent ol the insurance department, having been called to its condition, he was induced to make an examination of its affairs, which resulted in the disclosure of a deficiency of over S80J300. and he immediately issued an order that the stock holders should make this amount good, or wind up the affairs of the company. This they refused to do, the stock having been unpro ductive for five years: and the company ai patronage they concluded it the wisest course to wind up the affairs of the company and re tire from the field. A. Y. Wortd. and " old soldiers. We should like that garbage alcohol just as the fellow liked hash, because he " alwavs knew what be was eating." No doubt the Chicago chemist, distillers and rectifiers can inform the seeker after science precisely how many ounces of alcohol are con tained in one pair of old boot legs; and how many pounds of soap grecne and alcohol are combind in one defunct Thomas cat. Imagine a penniless Chicago toper going around ehewing boot-legs just to get up a little steam! Or a careless druggist of that same favored city mix up a dozen or two kittens in his mortar in order to supply a pressing demand for alcohol ! If this isn't an age of progress, and if Chi cago isn't ahead of competition, then we are no fl judge of small matter." Just as soon as the Chicagoese discover the proper method of distilling alcohol from Peru vian guano we ! 8had take pleasure in chroni cling the fact.

She deserved both, and we give her our applause very heartily ; but at the same time there is a maiden in North Carolina who disputes the palm with her. Who is she? You never heard her name. Of course not, for she happened to be born on the wrong siue oi tne 1 otomac. e answer our own ques lion, ana say mat tne nerome oi whom we speak, is Miss Kate Stuart, of Smithville. The other day she rescued a daughter of Captain Hunter, of the steamer Fairbanks, from drowning, by plunging in boldly and bringing her to land at the peril of her own life, and we put the case on record that the noble action may terprcted, naively replied. That she is thoroughly deserving our praise is shown by such facts as these, that when the yellow fever and small-pox prevailed in epi demic form at Smithville, she devoted herself like a second Florence Nizhtinirale to the work of nursing the sick, while, after the disaster at Fisher, she devoted every moment to the con solation of our dying and the care rf our wound ed soldiers. To show, in short, how entirely unselfish this heroic woman was we quote the Raleigh Sentinel as our authority for the state ment that when our prisoners were removed to MAKING LOVE WITH UMBRELLAS. A certain dramatic writer, being caught in a raia shower, took refuse under the portico of a handsome dwelling in New lork. As soon as he had taken the position a window was opened and a lovely female face appeared, which seemed to beam sympathy and anxiety. She soon retired and sent him an umbrella by a servant. He at once fell deeply in love ; and thinking from her anxious looks that the feel ing was reciprocated, called on her in the morning, sent up his card, and gave into her hands a very costly unbrella he had purchased in the place of the old shabby one he had bor rowed, and then wound up by making a pro fession of love. The young lady, without even noticing the exchange that had been made, perceiving bow her act had been muin- I feel it to be my duty to undeceive you eir.

A very general excitement has been caused in Peru by the publication of the prophesy of a German astronomer asserting that on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August of this year, preliminary shocks of earthquake will be felt in Peru and Equador, to be followed on the 20th of Sep tember or October by a move ot the earth in that region, and along .the line of the Andes mountain generallv, that will be perfectly ap palling in its effects. The prediction has, it appears, created wide spread terror among the Peruvians, and many families are now prepar ing to seek p!aces of greater security. The astronomer cannot ascertain to a certainty whether the grand rupture will occur in Sep- tember or October, but trat it will be on or about the 20th he is confident. He affirms that he has predicted earthquakes before with perfect accuracy. The following curious and characteristic A Sad Acdident. New Y'ork, July CI. About dusk last evening, a whole family, consisting ot a man and his wife, two daugh ters about 15 and 17 years of age, and two liu tic children were observed rowing up the North river in a small boat. When opposite Ball' ferry the boat capsized, and the whole appeared to be thrown into the water. Two men imme diately went out to their rescue, but before they could reach the party the man and woman and the two eldest daughters sunk. The two little ones, however, were found in the boat, which bad righted, but which was half full of water. . They were rescued and brought in sate to shore. Both were too young to give their names.. The men who rescued them were unable to ascertain the names of the family.
