A Fearfal Tragedy-\"Man TC ?Uni by a
li og. lt .
On yesterday, we came into possession
of tho particulars of a most singular and
fearful tragedy, which recently occurred
in One of the mountain Counties of this
State.. -The/gentleman from whom we
receive our information bas requested us
to give neither the name of the County
in which? the' horrible scene took place,
nor tho names of the actors in it; in tho
first place, because the families of tho
parties ure among the best and most re?
spectable in the County, und .should not
be subjected to this additional mortifica?
tion for an act which they can, in no
manner, be held responsible; and, in tho
second plac?, because publicity would
now, in no way, subserve the ends of
justice, aa the guilty party hos already
expiated his crime by BO fearful a pu?
nishment. We will only preface our ac?
count of the matter by stating that our
information was derived from n well
known and highly esteemed gentleman
of th?B Ofty, and may bo safely relied
npon as perfectly correot iu every parti?
cular.
In ono of the mountain Couuties of
Georgia there lives two families, each
before the war noted for its wealth and
refinement. Since the war, the families,
(whom we shall, call respectively B. aud
Ii.,) though they had, like nearly every
erne else, lost everything by tho conflict,
still retained the high position in society
wbi?h tbey bad for some long time filled.
One of them, the L.'s, lost several of its
members, as well as its fortune, by the
war, and at tho commencement of our
story consisted of Mr. L., a gentleman
fifty-five years of ago, his wife, nearly
the same age, and on unmarried daugh?
ter of abost twenty-five. " In nb out a
quarter of a milo of their houso lived
one of the K.'s, n young man, who had
recently married a very beautiful young
lady af tho County, and having left tlio
paternal mansion, was farming by him?
self on n small tract of ground. The
two families lived1 some distance from
the County town, in a sparsely inhabited
section of country, and being each the
nearest neighbor of tho other, were, of
course, on terms of great intimacy. Be?
tween the young wifo and the daughter
of Mr. Li. a fast friendship was soon
formed, both being nearly thc samo agc
and of similar tastes and disposition, nud
relying upon each other for company in
the daily absence of the two gentlemen,
who wera engaged in superintending the
business of their farms.
A few days since, Mr. JX- in
k formed bia wife that he had received a
letter, which would compel immediate
attendance in Atlanta, where ho would
b".vo to remain for several days, and us
it would be inconvenient for him to take
ber witt bim 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 bia buggy foi
Atlanta, and his wifo during the morn?
ing went over to L-'s house for th?
purpose.of inviting her young friend tc
stay with her. When she arrived then
she told tho young lady of the absence
of ber husband; representing how lonelj
Bbe would find her house at night, fron
thc fact that she employed no house ser
vant, and her cook, together with thc
few laborers employed on the farm, slepl
at the; ""negro quarter," nearly half r
mile fvdm tho dwelling house, and ondee
by asking Miss Ii- to spend th?
nights, with her until her husband re
turned. Tho young lady, after consul
tntiou with ker umchor, readily aasentec
to tho proposition and promised to coin;
over during the afternoon. Having
accomplished her purpose aud fooling
very muoh relieved in mind, Mrs. B
returned homo, and spent the day per
forming .the usual household duties
When tba. .morning bad passed awn;
and the afternoon came and then tb?
sim-sot, without bringing ber friend, sin
felt no alarm, but thought that tho latte
bad decided not to come until after tea
when the father, across tho field, whicl
separated tho two houses, would escor
her. . Accordingly the evening meal wa
eaten, household affair? arranged, an<
tho cook dismissed for the. night to he
distant cabin at tho "quarter." Abou
1) o'clock, Mrs. B. began to feel a lit tl
uneasy, as Miss L. had not yet come
when a servant came up to the hous
and brought a note from her expe'ctei
friend, stating that she would bo unabl
to speud the night with her, as she lim
promised? for ber father, from som
cause or other, had positively refused t
give his consent to the arrangement
After delivering the noto tho servan
took his departure, and the brave woma
prepared to spend the night by hersch
Feeling that she had a protector in
large and very fierce yard-dog belongin
to her husband, she took bim into bc
bed-room, and after scouring tho houso
she lay down and resigned herself t
bleep.
About 12 o'clock, she was awnkeno
from her slumbers by a noise in th
boase and the angry growling of th
clog, and discovered that the ball doc
had been forced, and that, some ono wc
standing at her room door, seeking n
? entrance. Speaking ns londly os h<
fright would let her, Mrs. R- oske<
"Who I? tfieror" A man's voice, whic
she did noC'reoognize, retitled by tellir
ber to "open the door.!' Again si
asked the same question, and again r
ceived tho samo reply, tho stranger ad
ing, Mutt if ?ibo refused, ho would "bret
tho d-n door down." During th
dialogue, the dog, still growling, crouched
upon thc floor, ns if ready to spring.
Thinking to 1 intimidate-this tuan, who
sought her ruin, Mrs. B.'uul cried to
him that if he forced the door.she would
shoot him. Laughing scornfully, tho
ru flinn threw his weight against thc
light door, burst it open, and entered
the room-when, quick as thought, tho
savage dog spraug* forward and fastened
on his neck. Tho mau, astonished nt
this sudden attack, attempted to kill the
dog with a knifo which he had in his
hand, but unsuccessfully, nud the power?
ful animal dragged him to the ground,
still retaining his hold upon his throat.
Stunned at first by this unlooked-for de?
liverance, tho woman, iu a few seconds,
regained bur presence of mind some?
what, ran screaming from the houso,
never stopping until sho nrrived at tho
place of the L.'s, where her .cries soon
aroused the family. Her tale was rapid?
ly told, and tho servants wore preparing
to go to tho scene of danger, when sud?
denly Mr. L. was missed, and bis wife,
almost on tho instant, as if struck by n
sudden presentiment, screamed, "Merci?
ful God! it must bo my husband 1" "With
a cry of horror, tho party sot forth, and
ran as fast to tho house of Mrs. lt. ns
the latter had run away from it a few
minutes before. Arrived there, they
found the mau still on tho floor, and the
dog still grasping his throat. Beating
him away from his prey, they found tho
suspicions of Mrs. L. but too correct; it
was her husband-but the teeth of tho
dog bad doue their work, and ho was
dend.
It appears that he had returned to his
home at 5 o'clock on the previous even?
ing, and hearing of the departure of H.,
and tho intention of his daughter to
spend the night with the j-oimg wife, he
positively refused to allow her to do so,
assigning some frivolous cause for the
refusal. That night he left homo, say?
ing that he was gojog to sit up all night
with a sick neighbor, who lived some
miles distant. It is supposed that he
concealed himself in tho woods until
midnight, and then, influenced by nn
holy lust, forced au ontranco into the
house of H., to violate the person oflhe
wife of the latter. "Whon the case be?
came known, tho most intense excite?
ment prevailed in the County, and had
not Providence punished the criminal,
ho would probably havo been hung to
the nearest tree by tho enraged popu?
lace.-Augusta Chronicle ami Sentinel.
A writer from Newport gets off the
following about tho "long beach:" "This
favorite resort j's just now in all its
glory, and hundreds daily invade Nep?
tune's domains, and toy with tho wild
waves. Omnibusses commence running
about 9 in the morning, and from that
time a steady stream of carriages aud
pedestrians, from dawn until 1 o'clock,
when tho red flag is ruu up and tho gen
tlemeu alono are allowed on tho premi?
ses. As a rulo, tho plebeians are on tho
ground first, much to the annoyance ol
the aristocracy, when they arrivo later,
and some indignation is manifested w hen
they find tho boxes all occupied and aro
obliged to wait their turn. Hut first
come, first served. In tho surf nil similes
of society are represented, and for a
timo all social distinctions aro washed
ont. Tho rich and tho poor, gay and
grave, cultivated and uncultivated, com?
bine to make up tho scene. The fairest
ladies that yesterday graced the avenue,
and that lust night, at the Ocean House,
danced to tho admiration of every spec?
tator, are among them. But what a
change-bare headed, with bare feet,
minus hoops, stays, chignons, rats, ourls
and paniors, and all other aids to femi?
nine beauty, they stand jumping up and
down in the water, looking like so many
lunatics. Surely nowhere but on tho
bench would our belles appear before
hundreds of lookers-on in snob attire.
Certainly they clo not prosont a very
picturesque appearance, with wet clothes
clinging tightly to thom and scanty locks
of wet hair dabbling down their shoul?
ders. Beally the female head is a study
indeed, and ns I sit on the beach I can
but admiro tho profusion of golden locks
as their owners enter the bathing houses;
but, strange to toll, thoy next appear to
my viow, like Samson of old, shorn of it
all. Naughty men huye) peered within
these houses while the fair ones were in
the bath, and most wonderful .stories
have been told o? their contents."
A New York correspondent tells of a
"clean broke" young man, not yet
twenty-seven, who not many years ago
was preaching from a provincial pulpit,
and with such eloqueuoo, boy though he
was, that orowds flocked to hour him,
and he was tho wonder of tho day. Thou
away he went to fill some higher pulpit,
and for a timo ho had beforo him a bril?
liant future. But of a sudden he struck
"ile;" it may have boeu that the parable
of the wise-foolisl) virgins had begotten
within his soul a wholesome desire to
keep his lamp well fed with ] ie trole mn ;
but, at all ovo nts, he went into .specula?
tion, doffed the robes, made a balloon
ascension, and now baa to dodgo bob ind
I the Astor Houso pillars to avoid the law?
yers.
A Chinese hod-carrier who fell from a
ladder iu San Francisco, striking the

SUM BIKU PEHILS-HOW TO ESC \ i
THEM-It will not do to tritio with Ibo heal
in hot weather. Vigor oozes through thc si
at evory pore, and it is by physical vigor oi
that unhealthy influences can bc battled a
repelled. The vital clements aro ovaporat
in perspiration. Intonso heat converts a m
into a self-acting pnmp, and the moisture tl
is pumped out of him is derived from the wi
springs of lifo within him. Thore is a gr
need, therefore, that theso sources of physi
strength should bc in a condition to be
without danger or inconvenience, thc extra
dinary drain, if they arc not in such a cor
lion, tho individual becomes languid and li
spirited.
Tho main thing is to keep thc digestivo
paratas m good working trim; for if the t
mach, tho purveyor of tho system, does
duty thoroughly, tho liver, tho beweis,
brain, and tho nervous system, being ?1
nurtured, will bo likely to do theirs. In v
of thosO facts, it is manifest that a nowc
and wholesome vegetable tonic liko HOST
TE R'S STOMACH BITTERS is especially
quired at this enfeebling season. It is the u
admirable of all correctives and invigora
and for this reason-it does not over-stimu
the system. The proportions of aperient, ti
and stimulating components are so judicio
graduated, that tho processes of invigora
and purilioation go on simultaneously, am
undue excitement is created in the circnla
or tho brain. All unmedicated stimula
however pure, oxcite the pulse and the ner
sys lem. Tl leir exhilarating effect is tempoi
and when it passes off, the physical and i

returns in an aggravated form. But this ii
