Tue Cincinnati Commercial, of the 15th, mentions tho followiug inci? dent of the post mortem evouta which followed the lynching affair of New Albany: .'Tho outburst of grief ended, the quiet of despair settled upon tho face of tho womeu. But not long did one of them romain under the burden. The sister of the three Reno bro? thers-au intelligent and handsome young lady-dried ber eyes with her handkerchief; then taking the grief stained piece of linen, she placed it over the face of her brother William -who tn tho lust declared bis inno? cence-then she kneeled beside the dead man and laid btu: loft band over his heart, and raising ber right one toward Heuveu, she took this torri blo oath-'Oh! my poor murdered brother, may God curse your sister if she avenge not your death, terri? bly and fully. This I will do, so help me God!' What a tiagic .scene was this. The dark, strong walls on all sides, and the cold stone floor be? neath ber knees. The sabio garments of the bereft sister, tho palo face turned upward, and the white hand poiuting heavenward. What a tab? leau of death, despair, love aud re? venge!" ?-??-? A STARTLING PREDICTION.-Profes? sor Leonidas, an astrologist of Indi? anapolis, publishes the following prediction: I observe by the planets that a dreadful plengue will commence in Russia, originating from silks brought over from Cairo, Egypt, and Turkey, lt will extend across tho Baltic Sea, uud will desolate Ger? many, cause immense mortality iu England, and then spread to the United States. This dreadful epi? demic will spot the people like a leopard, and 1 urti their flesh to a purple black. Tho pestilence will garry off such au union ul uf mortals that there will uot be enough left to bury tho dead, or give them Chris? tian burial. Thc streets of our cities, towns aud villages will bo swarmed with the dead and dyiug. The groans and yells of horror will till every breast with consternation. On all sides confusion will abound. The death-knell will cease to toll as the malady rages in fury. Tho stench of the dead will become HO common that tho survivors will not heed it. ? ? ?->-.

There passed ?brough t hi? city yes? terday, en roule% to Chicago, a lady, whoso history is ope of tue most re? markable* ever brought to publie notice. It has been well said* that troth ia stronger than fiction, and the details of this lady's history abundantly verify the adage. For reasons which all will see tbe propri? ety of, we withhold her name, merely relating the facts as they were com? municated to our reporter by cue who had heard her "strange, true story" from her own lips. T- 1 OOO 1---iii-1 "1 * this country from England, leaving behind thom an only son, some ten years of age, who had engaged as eabin boy on a merchant vessel in the East India trade. They landed in Kew York, when, a few moths later, the subject of this sketch was born. While she was yet a helpless infant, both her parents died, aud she was sent to the Foundlings' Home, where she remained some time, when Rhe was finally adopted by a lady and gentleman, who then resided in El? mira, New York. Of course, she knew nothing of her sailor brother, and she grew np in the belief that she was really tho child of her foster parents. At the ago of eighteen, she married au industrious young me? chanic, and set out for the great West. After traveling in various States, they finally settled in Mis? souri, where they continued pros? perous and happy until the ?torin of war burst upon tho country. Then, ber husband, in common with the thousands of his mis guided country? men, enlisted in tho survies of the rebellion, and was assigned to Geu. Price's army. He served faithfully during the first eighteen months of the war, but was finally killed in oue of the South-western engagements. Fro;n tho breaking out of tho war, the lady of whom we -write had lost all trace of her foster parents, owing to the disturbed condition of tho country in which sho residod, and after her husband's death, she re? moved to St. Louis, where sho sought to maintain herself by sewing. In 18G3, she again married, and her husband embarked in business in St. Louis. The last marriage was a thoroughly happy oue, and in the course of time two childi en were born unto them. The husbaud gra? dually extended his business opera? tions, so that much of his timo was necessarily spent in traveling about the country, aud during one of his business tours he visited Chicago, where he became acquainted willi a lady and gentleman,' who, by a for? tunate chaiu of circumstances, hu ascertained were the long lost foster parents of his wife. Delighted at the discovery ho had mude, and pleased, no doubt, with anticipations of the joyful surprise he should give his wife, the husband at once con? cluded his business, with the intention of returning to St. Louis aud*bring ing her to Chicago for the purposo-of re-uniting her with ber frieuds, with? out having first prepared either party for such au event. On tho night beforo his contem? plated departure for homo, while conversing with Mr. and Mrs.--, it happened that he was led into a recital of his adventures about tho world, and before the narrative was finished, his listeners knew that their adopted daughter had married her own brother, who, beforo sho was born, had sailed for East India. Hor? rified beyond expression, tho wretch? ed mau fled from the house, and from that hour no tidings of him have, ever reached his frieuds. This was in March lust, and a few weeks Inter tho wretched sister-wife was rendered comparatively poor by tho destruction of a large portion of tho property left iu her hands by lire. Although written to by her stricken friends, their letters never reached her, and a few weeks since she start? ed for Elmira, her early home. Upon her arrival there, she learned the ad? dress of her foster parents, with whom she at onco commnnieatod, giving them full details of her expe? rience since sho had first bade them farewell, upon setting ont for her' Western home. Their auswer to her letter contained a statement of the terrible discovery of tho identity of her husband and brother, together with an affectionate invitation to como to them with her children aud share their home. Heart-broken, and nearly crazed by the strange ileiw teni of her hap? py married life, the wretched woman hastened to accept tho offer, and this morning will doubtless seo ber re? united with her earliest and dem ?st friends.-Detroit Free Presa. .-? ? .. TERRIBLE.ACCIDENT ON THE SAVAN? NAH RIVER.-Tho Savannah News, of Monday gives thc details of a heart rinding calamity on the Savannah River, about ?oven miles from that city. It seems that a party of eight u^gre? men embarked on a crazy old sloop, heavily laden with ?ice, un Thursday, during a heavy galo aud started for o.......?uh. Tho water was very rough, and, when nt the above mentioned distance from the city, the boat was lifted up by a great wave and when descending to meet j tho next, tho shook appeared to J break her in half and she sunk, car? rying d<uvn all on board to a watery yruvo. A Terrible Invtn'.lon. A REGIMENT OF BOLDIKK8, A MILE AND* A-HALF DISTANT, TO BB KILLED TB FOUR MINUTES. Th? invention consists of a range of guns of 0.76 bore and about forty inches long, mounted on a carriage of very simple structure, to be hauled by one horse. The width of the car? riage between the wheels is six feet. The gan barrels, twelve in number, are ranged apparently parrallel to each other upon this carriage. We say apparently, for their line of fire is not strictly parallel, but divergent, so that at 300 yards distaut thc twelve buiieis sweep a iine o? about thirty feet. They are ranged at equal dis? tances from each other, except in the middle, whore there is a space of ten inches, into which is placed a tele? scope of considerable power, and a nico arrangement far adjusting the guns in taking aim. This contriv? ance enables the operator to send a bullet through tho bull's eye at 1,600 yards, nine times out of ten. The tubes themselves are rifled, ale dou? ble the strength of ordinary rifles, and aro made strong at the breech by a band six i nobes broad and one sixth thick. They are all loaded at ' tb,e breech. The breech pieces are all connected by a rod, which is at? tached to a crank, one turu of which opens and shuts all'the breech pieces and loads the pieces, for the breech pieces, by this motion, ate brought in contact with twelvo tubes, placed immediately over the breeches, and containing tho cartridges, thc samo turu extracting the cartridges from its tube and inserting it with preci? sion in its place iu the guu. The guns are made ready for firing by as simple and rapid a motiou us the turning of a crank. They are fired by auotber slight motion, which drives twelvo needles, inserted in tlx* breech for tho purpose, into tho fal mirato with which tho cartridges are covered. So simple, sure aud rapid are these movements, that, twenty-seven rounds were fired in sixty-three seconds, yesterday, at tho placo of trial, out on tho Hyde's Ferry pike. The cartridges aro four iuohes in length, aud do not entirely explode, until the ball is about half way out of tho barrel, an effect which is produced by a nico arrangomeut of the mate? rial of which they aro composed. Except tho bullet, tho whole cartridge is combustible, aud leaves nothing behind when fired off. The gun will send a ball three milos. Tho aim is always good at 2,000 yards. At a trial, yesterday, a line of plank, six inches broad, was raised four feet from the ground, and fired at 1,500 yards distant, and ont of sixty shots fired, forty-seven went through and six others left marks upon the edges of tho plank. The inventor is confident that a regiment of soldiers, a milo and-a-half distant, could bo all killed by one of these Pollyferi, (tho namo be has given them,) in four minutes. lu tho hands of an intelligent, steady operator, at least ninety per ceut. of the balls fired will take effect. The whole affair, when in lighting trim, weighs but 500 pounds, and is intended to be hauled by ouo horse aud worked by two men, one to drive and the other to operate. The loudiug and firing ap? paratus is so arranged that it eau be detached in a moment, when the other part of tho deadly eugine bo comes perfectly useless. One of them can bo finished off, complete, with horse, etc., for 81,000. [Nashnilla Times. TRAGIC SIIOOTINQ AFFAIR BEAR GUATTABOOOA.-A tragic affair oc? cured ou Salt Creek, forty miles be? low here, a few days since, tho parti? culars of which aro as follows: It seems that Mr. Ileane, a school teacher, attempted to whip a boy named Hutchison, who resisted and left school. A day or two afterward young Hutchinson, accompanied by bis brother and a mau named Smith, visited the school-bouse for the avowed purpose of chastising Beaue, and, not finding him there, they pro? ceeded to his residence. Ileane saw them comiug, and anticipating their errand, armed himself, as also did Mr. Moore, who happened to bc at bis house. On their arrival Hutch? inson said they intended giving Beano a thrashing. Moore remon? strated, when Smith drew a pistol and shot him dead. This was a sig? nal for all to produce pistols. Beaue shot aud instantly killed Cyrus Hutchinson brother of the school? boy. Ho had scarcely fired, when Smith, who had killed Moore, fired another barrel at Beaue; the ball struck but failed to immediately dis? able him. Beano thou turned ou Smith and lodged three balle in his body, inflicting wounds which result-, ed mortally in a few minutos, Twen? ty m i mi I es after tho affair commenced, Moore, Cyrus Hutchinson aud Smith lay dead on tho ground within a few feet of each other. Hutchinson's brother was tho only person who es ! caped unhurt. - - Ex-Gov. Chartes G. Moorchead, of i Kentucky, died at Greenville, Miss., ? on Christmas day. Ho was a violent advocate of the Confederate cause, ' aud for his efforts to bring about tho j secession of Kentucky, was arrested ! and confined in Fort Lafayette for some time. Ho was sixty-six years ' of ago at the time of his death. A LOVER IN THE CLOSET.-A short time since m very enterprising yonng merchant, who is the happy posses? sor of a wife as beautiful as heart could desire, had occasion to visit Mobile. He was gone but a Week, aiijly?Hiiw?OOftsr than was expect? ed. Reaching home at au hour when the gray of tho morning was min? gling with the-shades of night, be of course friand the family all in bed. Proceeding directly to his wife's apartment, he rapped for admission? at the sadie time announcing Who he was. At the mention of his nome he thought he detected a smothered ex? clamation of surprise, and then some oue got horridly from the bed and sought refuge in a closet, adjoining his bed-room. All this he heard dis? tinctly, as he waited in the cold, with the demon of jealousy tagging away at bis heart. There was some one in his wife's room; there conld be no do?bt of that; and that some one had sought refuge in the closet was equally cleor. Who else could it be than a lover? Mad with jealousy, fu? rious and indignant, he could scarce? ly wait ?or the door to be opened be? fore he bnrsted iuto tho room and made for the closet. His wife inter? fered nnd begged that he wouldn't open tho ?door concealiug this dis? turber of domestic peace. He dash? ed her aside furiously, but sho clung to the tails of his coat. Tho strain made upon those useful appendages at last compelled them to give way, and the augry benedict threw wide open tho door of the closet, aud, lo! iustead of the cunning libertine, hit astonished eyes rested ou oue of the prettiest girls imaginable. She wat passing the night with his wife, and tryiug to avoid meeting him in dis habille, brought about a rather em? barrassing denouement. The gentle man, however, it may be as well tc state, prosecuted bis searches nc further, nod, instead, made a hastv retreat.-New Orleans Picayune.

It is is a "Tale of Disappointment and Distress, compiled, arranged and edited from the letters and other manuscripts of Roland Vernon, Esq., and from contributions by, and con? versations with, tho Vernon family, of Rushbrook, South Carolina, by BoLjamin Robinson."

How TO REDUCE YOUK GAB BILD. It is a matter of importance to many persons to bo able to keep their gas bills at tho lowest possible point, consistent with a full supply of light. By observing tho following direc? tions, tho Richmond Dispatch assures us, it will bc found that gas bills may bo brought down very much be? low what most of our readers have been in tho habit of paying: First-In lighting your gas, turn tho gas ou tho metro about one-half, then light the gas, and regulate tho lights by the stop-cock that, lets the gas iuto tho metre. This prevents the pressure of gas from making tho index move so fast. Tho greater tho pressure of gas on tho metro the faster it moves, and tho larger will bo tho gas bill. Second-From tho timo gas is usu? ally lighted until half-past eight or nine o'clock, tho pressure is the same. After the stores and shops are closed, tho pressure is greater on the metres in use, and tho stop-cock should then bo turned ut the metre so ns to regulate tho pressure. An observance of these directions may ontail somo little trouble, but it will most certainly roduco gas bills very materially. Many persons pay almost as much for gas that is wast? ed as for what they consume, and wasto may be entirely preventod by following these rules.

What a pity bo was obliged to leave it! Ho had taken great delight in collecting it. It was well and fairly earned. It was all the frnit of bis own energy, industry and good judgment; be had to leave it, and went out of the world as poor as he came in. He might have taken it with him rather ho might have sent it forward in advance. Every dollar given in humble fuith to scatter the glad tid? ings of salvation, every cup of water given to a disciple, every tear of pions sympathy for tho suffering, every gift of his kindly charity to the needy, would have been treasure laid up in Heaven. , How much more blessed to go to, than to leave a large property. The man who is poor in this world's goods, bnt rich in faith, closes his eyes on this life and goes to take pos? session of his inheritance. He owned not n foot of land on earth, but for him "Sweet holds beyond tho swelling flood Stand drest iu living green." His food here was plain and scanty, b?t there he will eat freely from the "tree of life." His garments here poor and plain, but there he shall be "clothed in white robes." He asso? ciates here with those who are de? spised of men, but there his com? panions will be an "innumerable company of angels," and the "Church of the first-born which aro written in Heaven." THE WILD JUSTICE OP REVENOS IN POLAND.-The incendiary fires in Poland, which have been so frequent of late, have in no degree diminished in number. The Russians cannot be driven out, but the Poles nre ener? getically trying to burn them out. Muscovites who have settled in Po? land suffer from fire almost daily. The Intendant of a Councillor of State had rendered himself specially obnoxious in the absence of his mas? ter. In the orthodox Russian style he extorted from the peasants all that they were capable of yielding, mani? festing his gratitude in the shape of tho knout. Ho received several anonymous letters, which so alarmed him that he obtained the protection of a detachment of Cossacks. But they were not ublo to prevent the Councillor's bouse and all the sur? rounding buildings, to the value of many thousand pounds, being utterly destroyed by fire. o ? ? Mr. D. L. Moody, of Chicago, hos a way of blurting out his sentiments at prayer meetings. Not long since, at one of those meetings, some one rose and stated that tho Erring Woman's Refuge, in thut city, was in grout;, nped. and asked Ihn prayers of "tho congregation in its behalf. Ono of Chicago's rich ".ul men, who is said to be somewhut minute in his contributions to benevolent objects, volunteered at once to lead the meet? ing in u prayer in behulf of the insti? tution named. He had scarcely closed, when Mr. D. L. Moody got to his feet, and uaid that ii was wrong for ns to ask God to do what ho had given us the power to do ourselves. "Tho ideT," said hs, "of a man who can draw a cheek for $100,000 asking God to givo money to the Erring Woman's Refuge is preposterous! Let him give it him? self." Tho Scientific American says no? thing is easier thuu to remove the unpleasant odor produced by perspi? ration, which is vexatious to persons subject to it. It is only necessary to procure some compound spirits of ammonia, and place about two tea? spoonfuls in a busiii of water.
