The New II a van Journal and Courier re
latea a atory ol woman' suffering and man'
devotion, wblob la moving enough to melt
the heart ol a locomotive whistle. It seems
that a young lady of New Ilaveo sad the
nlilortun to be scalped, bow or why doea
not appear. We are not aware that there
are any Indiana lurking about the City of
Elms, and therefor do not Imagine tbatabe
is a fresh victim to the demoniao cruellies
ol the red man. Probably ber cblgoon was
caught in a (team roller or something of the
kind, but. however, It was done, the uo
questionably lost ber soalp. Now, tb
paper quoted prooeed to say that a number
of her friends, deeply cemmisecraliog ber
unfortunate loss, bave clubbed together to
contribute bits of their own soalps to supply
the missing scalp of the young . lady. The
phyaioiansoeve succeeded in attaching the
cmtciilar contributions lo Iba skull of lb
fair sufferer, and she promises lo do well.
la other words, .she has bad a oew scalp
laid down In muoh the same manner that
barren piece of ground is turfed with grass.
We trust that care baa been taken lo bave
the hair all of one color, or else II may be
difficult to tell whether she if a blonde or a
brunette. A patch ol Oery red, of goldeo
yellow, r raven black, and chestnut brown
would oause'ber to appear in a rather pie
bald light. Happy ti lb woman whose
friends will undergo partial scalping to
minister to her cimfort, when subscribing
to purchase ber wig would bave done
quite a well. The question arisen whether
ber new bait i ber own or that of ber
