MISCELLANY. A GUILTY PAIR DISCOVERED. A correspondent of the Bowling Green (Ky.) Standard furnishes the following in- interesting scene as having occurred in Wunfordsville on the 7th uIl, to wit: A deeruerreian artist, with a lady who was not his wife, bad been operating in the quiet town aforesaid the gentleman tak ids pictures and tne lady teacriinp; music for some months. They had gotten mus ic, instruments and all necessary "et ceter as," and were meeting with great success, On Friday, the 7th, they were seated at the dinner table, edifying the natives with the following: wonderful dialogue. Mr. Pen- broken (the gentleman's name) addressing bis dear lady, said : -' "There seems, my dear, to be some pre judice- in Kentucky against uj' Tan kees." " . 'Ob yes" she replied, "but you and I will leave no grounds for prejudice; we 11 clear ourselves and" "Mr. Penbroke, allow me to introduce you to the sheriff of Nelson county," said a hoarse voice behind him. The . sheriff then, upon a warrant, proceeded to band cuff the aforesaid Penbroke and lady. The ' facts re , these : - Penbroke bad living in the East a wife and one child; the lady bad living in New York a husband and two children. But Cupid being stronger than law or duty, they eloped to the far West to live as busband and wife I "' ' ; The man who introduced the sheriff was the lady's father, who, immediately on see ing bis daughter tainted. He resides in New York, is a man of great wealth and had -lavished vast sums upon bis only daughter, w bom be tenderly loved, He had followed them 1 .700 miles when he found them.' She is young,, beautiful and accomplished, and married welL Here, in deed, was a bankruptcy of the heart." 1 be guilty pair was placed in a vehicle in company with the wretched father, and are now "gone iiast." ., : FIRE ATITTdGEPORT, CT. A barn belonging to James C. Loomis Esq., at Bridgeport, burned down Tues day evening, 1st ; instant" The Standard says: v -. f "A noble instance of mind and courage, - which would have done credit to one of the opposite sex, was " displayed by an Irish girl, in the employ of Mr. Loomis, who, when she discovered the fire, procured a knifed rusbed to the stable, (the , roof of " which was enveloped by flames.) took off iier apron, ana placing u over tne eyes of -tne norse, cut me natter oy wnicn be was fastened, and led him out. The horse se-. cure, she returned for the cow, which she saved after the same manner; and then re. . turned again and succeeded ia saving two carriages, which she rolled out and placed on the opposite side of the street; all the time neglecting her own trunk, which lay in an apartment of the building, but which, we are happy to know,' was removed by some of the firemen, in a perfectly sound condition.". - . - - : . The fire was undoubtedly caused by the carelessness of a man, who, during the af ternoon, had been ' employed in tbe build, ing, and who had ben seen smoking a pipe fa the vicinity of the bay-loft. - lynch law in Virginia: , A man named Wm. Hornbeck, living in Lewis county, Va., for the alleged ill treat ment of his family, was lynched by the youngs men in neighborhood, one night last week. The Weston Herald says: He was taken a few nights since by a party of men, who stripped bim of his clothing, and rode him for a length of time in that condition on a rail: be . was then taken to a briar patch and made to run through it. When" ever he evinced a disposition to move less swiftly, a stout paddle, bored through with augur holes, was applied,' which accelera ted bis movement astonishingly. This ex ercise being over, a coat of tar and feat he rs was applied, which Mr. Jtiomback was made to wear, much- against bis will Durino- this ODeration he tried to faint, b ut the Daddle soon restored bim to concious ness, after which he was left alone in bis glory. ' , .. ; :- - ' ENCOUNTER WITH A WOLF. Some two or three weeks since, says the Cumberland Telegraph, a very large male wolf, driven by hunerer from the mountain forests, . made his appearance in the region of Coventry in this county, known as the Crossings r orks. He commenced bis depredations upon stock and began to be considerable of an annoyance to the husbandmen of that locality. He kept out of harm's way for several weeks. At last a young man named Christian Beachy who had frequently encountered his tracks in the deep snow, declared his intention to give him chase if he ever came across him when he (Keachy) was on bis favorite horse, a powerful and swift footed animal, capable of endurance and able to withstand the hardships of a vigorous dash against the unscrupulous invader of sbeepfolds and stock yards. A few days since Beachy, in company wiih another young man, also mounted, be held tbe wolfs track in tbe snow. It was fresh, apparently just made, and a pitch tor nim was at once determined upon. The snow was upwards of two feet deep, but nothing daunted, Beachy, on bis pow erful horse, plunged through it into the forest, followed by bis companion, wbo was unable to keep within bailing distance. Tbe wolf finding himself pursued dashed boldly forward, but the erallant steed of Beacby after a rapid chase of half an hour bore him by the side of the wolf. springing: from bis norse, be (being un harmed) caught tbe animal by the tail. Then a battle ensued of a fierce character. I tie won snapped bis powerful jaws in perfect rage, but by continually jerking him about, and administering, at every fa vorable opportunity, a powerful kick with a heavy boot in the side, he managed to hold on uninjured until tbe arrival of bis companion, wben tbe ferocious animal was dispatched with one well-aimed blow from a club. Beachy is a man of great muscular pow er and courage, and the two combined en ableihim to retain his hold upon the wolf until he was dispatched. When his com panion arrived he was nearly exhausted. The wolf would not have been so easily captured, but having been indiscreet in hi3 young days, be had put one of his feet into a steel trap, and had thereby lost the en tire foot to tbe first joint. : ' WONDERFUL SAGACITY. One of the most astonishing instances of the sagacity of the dor transpired this morning which ever came to our know ledge. The Messrs. Staude, Tobacconists, No. 35 Congress street, closed their store last evening:, leaving their favorite New foundland inside. This morning, on open ing tbe store, tbe noor in the back room was found to be on hre. and the dog was laboring with his fore feet and mouth try. ing to subdue it. A pail of water which stood in the room had been poured down the hole. The faithful animal had so sue cesstully combatted tbe bre as to prevent us spreading beyond a spot two or three feet square How long he had stood sen tinel and fought down the advancing flames can only be conjectured it must have been several hours. His feet, legs, and mouth were badly burnt, and it is feared that he is seriously injured. He refuses food and is apparently in much pain. This is the same dog which discovered the man Lally on the ice a few weeks since. v Iroy Daily Times, AprU 3. THE LAKE SUPERIOR FISHERIES. The Detriot Tribune savs . "As another step towards tbe commercial greatness of ine LAKe oupenor country, a greatness to oe oasea entirely upon productive mdustrv and owing nothing to fictitious causes, the - r- . . citizens oi superior nave resolved, in' puh lie meeting, to organize a company for the purpose oi more inorougbly and s vstemati caily prosecuting the fisheries of the Lake. The company is to have the title of 'Tbe Lake Superior White Fish, Salmon. Trout. Siscowit, and Herring Fishing Company,' wuq a capital oi viuu.uuu. Congress will be memorialized to extend tbe fishing boun ties of the Newfoundland coast to the lake region, and also to constitute the town of Superior a port of entry for fish." i SOUTHERN EMIGRATION TO KANSAS. On the 5th inst., Maj Bu ford, with his Kansas emigrants arrived in Montgomery, Ala The Journal says they consist of some hundred and sixty gallant young men, all, robust and healthy, fully capable of do ing good service in a new country. With others there expected to join them, 200 men would leave Montgomery, Ala,, for Kansas in p'day or two. : ' Astronomers, it is said, expect the ap pearance this year of the comet of 1856, called Charles W, and so named from having, according to some historians, caused that monarch to abdicate and re tire to the Convent of St. Just. It is the identical wandering star, some sav. which appeared in 1264, in 996, and in 683. Its return was fixed for 1848, but it did not answer the call, frightened, per- naps, as a monarchical comet, by the eccentricities of that epoch. The new Calculations of the savans do not, how ever, admit of. much doubt as to the present nearness of its visit." -; ! ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERY. A man has been arrested at Memphis. Ten n., on a charge of forgery, i It appears be presented to the Branch Planter's Bank, of Memphis, a letterpf credit from Smith, Young & Co., of New .York, for f 50.000. The cashier immediately- telegraphed to New York to know if the house mentioned was good, and received a reply in the af- firmative, ' Vhefeuport . the bank ; honored tbe man's check for f 17,000, and he pro ceeded to buy real estate and other proper ty. Subsequently suspicions were aroused, and a despatch was sent to Smith, Young & Co. to know if ttiey had given the let ter of credit. The reply was . that they bad given no such letter, and the man was immediately arrested on a charge of forge ry. When arrested $13,000 in money wore found upon his person, sowed up in his clothes, together with enough land script to secure the Bank against any loss. . It is supposed, however, that there is a mistake somewhere, as the stranger came highly recommended. - A BOY TORN TO PIECES BlT A BL00DHUND. A youug lad named Ephraim White head, living in Cleveland, was killed by a bloodhound on Saturday last. He was missing, when the family became alarmed, and search was instituted for bim. A ne phew of Mr. Whitehead discovered the boy in a field, about twenty rods from the house, nearly dead, having been attacked and torn in a most, awlul manner by a bloodhound slut, owned in the neighbor hood. The poor little' fellow lived only a half an hour after be was found. When he was found, the question was asked whether it was tbe bloodhound that attack ed him. He had barely strength enough to half articulate "Yes." I be boy was a- bout eight years old, and was a general fa vorite with the family. A SOLITARY FISHERMAN UPON THE 0 ' CEAN. Among the arrivals at this port on Wed nesday last, was a fishing schooner, tbe Echo, belonging to Duxbury. Her crew consisted of one man master, mate and all bands CapL Lewis Winsor. The schooner was in good trim on reaching Commercial wharf, the crew all well, and the cargo well secured and in good order and condition. Uapt. W.. it seems, wi unable to ship a crew at Duxbury, the fishermen preferring newer and faster ves sels. But being a man of enterprise and courage, and knowing that the best way to get a thing well done is to do it your self, Capt. W. started off alone, and though bis voyage has oeen solitary, it has, as we understand, been very successful. The Echo is about thirty tons burthen, and makes one of a large fleet of small schoon ers that supply tbe Boston market with fresh fish. Boston Etc. Trav., April 7. THE CROPS IN SOUTHERN TEXAS. The Nueces Valley, published at Corpus Christi, states "that judging from the very considerable number of new farms that have been opened this spring in tbe Valley of tbe Nueces: there will be at least four times as much corn raised in this and tbe adjoining counties as during any previous year." .
