A Girl in Disgube
The citizens of Berkshire county, Mas
sachusetts, are just now excited over a
sadden and singular death which occur:
red iu Lauesboro* recently. A boy giv
ing the mune of Henry E. Goodwin, re
cently made 'application to the Briggs
Iron Works for work, and, although they
were net in need of help, he pleAded so
herd that employment was finally given
him. His superior intelligence, modes
ty,and freedom from profanity and coarse
n :ss, and his great iudiestry,all conspired
t win the t:,vor of his employers, who
spoke of it to several gentlemen of the
village, who also became interested in
his appearance. Shortly after c ow m en .
eing work he was taken ill, and repaired
to Munson's Hotel, where, in order to be
apart from other boarder:3, he had a bed
made in the garret. The care he re
c.iived was not the best, and the patient
grew rapidly worse, when a physician
was finally sent for, who wished to ex
amine his bowels, to see if they were
bloated, but Henry objecting, the doctor
did not insist. The next day he was
worse, and on Monday the doctor found
his ease hopeless. lie being insensible,
the doctor made an examination and dis
covered that his patient was a woman.—
During the night the patient continued
insensible or deranged, and died, at sev
en o'clock on Tuesday morning. An in
quest was held, at which it was ascer
tained that the deceased worked about a
week for a Mr. Barton In Dalton, at
farming, then came to Pittsfield and
worked for Amos Shepardsou, farming,
at a. dollar and a half a day, four days,
but left as she could not do haying. She
then applied for work at the Iron Works
in Lanesboro', and with the sad result
narrated above. The Pittsfield L•''tglc
says that everywhere she conducted her
self with extreme modesty and propriety,
showed great industry. From letters
found among her effects, she appears to
have been the wife of Leeman Underhill,
a soldier or officer in Battery D, First
Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, lately sta
tioned at Fort ,Jackson, New Orleans.—
The letters are addressed " Dear Julia
and Children." The first ones speak or
having sent her money, with some doubt,
in one case, whether it was hunestly de
livered. The late ones speak of want,
not having been paid, sickness, &c., and
at least intimate a request. hit money.—
She sent money away at two different
times, at least—probably to her husband,
and perhaps to her children--and there
seems little doubt that she assumed her
disguise in order to procure more remu
nerative pay, and died from over-exer
tion for those she loved. Iler conduct
throughout appears to be beyond re
proach. A fine bowie-knife, ground very
bharp. was found among het , effects, and
was doubtless intended for defence
against insult. From passages in the
letters, we infer that she may have been
a native of Maine and removed to Pis,

A DESIRABLE SUBSTITUTE.—The De
troit substitute brokers on Tuesday had
a lively time in securing a substitute.—
One of them engaged a big Scotch man
to enlist for 53(.10. A large number of
the brokers heard of the prize and made
larger offers. After a sharp squabble it
was agreed to divide the spoils, and the
squad of "owners" of the man marched
him off to the Provost Marshal's office.
There he was pronounced as having the
small-pox, and the brokers fled in terror.
Another lot subsequently got possession
of the "subject," and, disbelieving the
small-pox story, took him in a hack to
SL Mary's Hospital for examination.
There the fact of his having the small
pox was confirmed, and the second crowd
of brokers fled in greater terror than the
first, the driver of the hack joining in
the flight. The brokers are in danger
of losing their business, as the people
are afraid to have dealings with men
from whom so loathesome a disease may
communicated. How are you, bro
