From the A!hany Kirkerlmeker.
Some excitement was occasioned near a
church entrance up town night before Inst,,
over tho interruption of a weduiug that
was about, to bo wlemni.ed. It appears
that a gay young I.oUintio who had Ixjen
"flying his kite" among the lair Bex (or a
f iir yeats pnst, hud suddenly concluded to
become settled down by taking Ut himself u
wife. o had chosen for bin p utucr tho
daughter of u well known und respeuluble
family up town, who, uniptestiotially, was
ignorant of (he pit-l history ol the man up
on whom she had best owed Iter hand, her
life and her fortune. Shu did not leuru it,
either, until the night before I a..t, just as
I ho patties worn ou the way to church to
be made ono. As the parlies were Hearing
tho church, a wotuiin mudu her appearance,
with a child in IW hi :ns, and onleted the
man to stop fn his career, and not to send
to destruction another honest uud innocent
heurt. She then accused the would-be
bridegroom of Jiaving Beduced her, und that
he was the father of the child eho held in
her arms. Tho man, in brug'idociu style,
declared (ho woman mad, uud oidned her
away. But it was uo use. Sim also staled
that there wus number girl whom the ras
cil had seduced and abandoned, by whom
ho also had child. She udvisid the
would-be bride to bi-wute of the inipusler
aud seducer, us ho would deceive, ruin and
desert her, m ho had his other victims. So
excited did the poor civuluru become, that
she threatened to sdioot her seducer if he
undertook to have the ceremony performed.
A largo crowd of persons had by this timo
collected, among whom were some police
men, w!ir ca:t?cd the crowd to disperse.
We understand that tho g.iy Lothario aban
doned tho wedding that was on foot, fail
ing that his Infuriated victim- would exe
cute her terrible threat. Ho was well
aware of the fact l.'int oho had purchased n
plol for the purposa of killing him, and
thought discretion the belter purl of valor,
and left. Whether the marriugo wus subse
quently performed, wo know not.

I'.u-n Oil IIuioj County (Midi ) News.
We learn upon creditublo authority tho
lollowing particulars of a terrible double
tragedy which occurred cn tho 21st ult. In
one of the buck towns of Sunilac county,
und adjoining Huron, lives u Butlh-r who is
of but recent residence there, named Jutnen
Hayes. Ilisfumily consists, or rather con
sisted, of hiniioll and wifo, and un only
child an infant. Oil the day above named,
Mr. and Jirs. Hives were hueing potstoen
in a field some distance from their house,
having left thu child at homo asleep ia its
crib. After working away in the lield for
some time, tho husliatid became somewhat
startled at hearing tho child begin to cry in
a very excosslvo und uuusuul munner, aud
requested his wile to go to the houso and
atci'rtniii(the cause She replied thut she
thought the child would soon cease and
compose itself to sleep. ' A'ler listening n
moment or two, her supposition seemed a
correct one, as the sounds gradually ceased
and the child seemed to sleep. Nothing
more was soiiously thought of tho matter
it boing an instance of a very common na
tureand at noon the husband uud wife
repaired lor dinner.
But upon entering the room iu which tho
babe was lying, a hurriblu spectacle met
their view. Iu their absence u monster
serpent, of the bluu iacorspccics, had enter
ed tho open door, crawled to the cr.idlo and
twined ilsull around tho body of the infant ,
placed Its head in the child's mouth, aud in
this maimer had deprived it of its life.
The husband upon buhoUitig the hideous
monster, uud comprehending its fatal act
upon bis child, iti u frenzy of excitement
turned upou bis wife, whom he hud bidden
while iu tho field to como (o their child,
and, without u woid of warning, struck
Ur u fearful blow ou the head with the boo
which he held in bis hud. She sunk to
the floor and immediately expired, the sharp
edge of the lion having pierced to her
b:uin. The hui.liund, lituiing hiuuclf wile
less, childless and it mm di rer, rushed liotn
his home to the in i jhtors, proclaiming bis
guilt, a raving maniac. ,i
