Superstition In Cumberland Co. A ShippcuBburg correspondent of tho State Journal sends tho following: Mil. Editoii: Tho following statements are facts which can be authenticated by this community. For delicacy's sake wo omit namos. A well-to-do tenant farmer residing one and a half miles south of this place, ono morning suddenly becamo aware of the fact that his wife had eloped with Mr. , of Shipponsburg. No family troubles, seemingly loved each other pas sionately, and had lived together for yoars. Tho party had been absent for six weeks, traveling mostly on foot, through woods, and back ways, sleeping in barns, &c., iu order to avoid dotection aud arrest. On Saturday evening last, it bocamo known to the farmer that his beloved had ceased her wanderings, and was awaiting his arrival, which was soon announced, and tho much troubled husband met his unfaithful spouse, and, in a two-boreo buggy, re turned to their rustio homo. Now for the superstitious account. She contends (and her faithful husband believes ovory word) that Mr. , of this place, by the wonderful, strange and mysterious influ ences of a bone (of what animal I am not prepared to say), in tho hands of Mr. , sho was perfectly charmed influenced. judgment overruled ; that sho unhesita tingly left her home and husband undor its mngio spell. But somehow (whether said bone becamo brokon or lost I do not know) after six weeks of wandering, sensuality, or honeymoon (call it what you please), tho spell was broken, and she bomoaued her situation. Whother a second appli cation of that bone would not have had tho same effect, we are not willing to say. A Novel Surgical Operation. Fivo weeks ago to-day (Friday) a cow belonging to Mr. Samuel Byers, of Newvillo, fell over an embankment on Railroad street, break ing both her horns off close at the head. As Mr. Byors tells us ho (Mr. B.) was in formed of the accident shortly after, aud bo at once got the horns. Taking the animal to bis stablo, be, with the assistance of Mr. Gensler a volerinary surgeon, placed tho horns in their former position on the cow's head, and fastened them securely. Tho horns havo sinco growu perfectly fast and are as sound as before tho accident. In stances of the successful performance of this operation are rare, but this case is a fact which can bo attested by a number of witnesses. Oakville Enterpite. Leg Off. A lad named Iloon, agod twelve years, had bis right foot torn off, and, the leg dreadfully mangled, nt Marys villo, recently, by hanging on the platform of ono of the cars of the Northern Central railway company, whilo in motion, near tho bridge crossing tbo Susquehanna.
