A Young Man's Misadventurs in Search
cf a Wife.
In the eastern part of Fond du Lac
County, Wis., resides a youn man, in
dutriouj, well to uo, and of good habits,
whose recent experiences form the sub
ject of the present article. He has a nice
little farm and eorue money in the bank,
and, alter ha had built him a house, it
occurred to him that it would b a good
thin; to have a wife. Accordingly he
called upon a neighbor and informed him
that he had turned wife hunter, and wan
ted help. The rest of the story, in the
language oi the Fond du Lac Common
iccahh, runs thus :
"The neighbor promised to help in the
search, lie knew a worthy lady in Eng
land. She was poor, to be sure, but if
hc would consent to become a wife ehe
would make a good one ; no doubt on that
ecore. lie drew a glowing picture of the
English girl, or woman, for she was more
than a tr i 1 1 in years, being beyond thirty
five. Our young farmer hero thought
she would fill the bill. It was arranged
that both neighbor and farmer should
write to her. In due time an acswer
came. She, like Aarkis, was willin.' pro
vided the young man would send her
money with which to pay her passage to
America. That he would do most gladly.
A month alter the money was gent our
hero was at the Fond du Lac depot wait
ing for the train, having been advised
that the dear one would make her appear
ance. She came. They kuew each other,
exchanged photographs. She had a
frieud in the city. For a time her home
would be with that friend. Two or three
times a week the young man came iu to
visit the young lady who would soon be
his wife. About three weeks after her
arrival the young man came to the city
to find his lady leve as chilly as a March
snow-drift. She hardly fpoke to him
Before he started home she deigned to
speak to him. What did she say '( This:
'Young mao, I have male up my mind I
don't want to Marry you. Let this be
your last vi?.it. It is euded, remember ;
good evening ' Several claps of thunder
Iroiu an exceptionably clear ky could
not h ave imparted a greater shock to our
hero. What did he do ' Did he fall up
on his knees and ak, tog, and pray tor
msrey ? Not. at all. lie seized his h it,
slammed the door, and sought his coun
try hinie. Thus endeth the first chapter
''Of course our hero called upon the
neighbor, wlio had iccommen Jed the Eog
lish girl. He vvassuprised and chagrined
almost beyond measure. 'Well,' said he,
I have got you into a scrape. Now you
ihali have a wife anyway.' A team was
hitched up and the two rode a distance of
seven miles to the farm house of a gen
tleman who was the po.cssor of five girl.
In due time their business was made
known. An acquaintance was commenced
between our hero and one of the young
ladies. The following vvetk he made her
a seconJ vij.it. That time they were en
gaged, and the wedding fixed lor the fol
lowing week. The wedding day came
and the ceremony took place. The hap
py couple enjoyed life for two or three
days, at the eud of which time the young
man found it neccssry to visit the farm
aud attend to some busiuess, leaviug the
bride with her foiks. Two days passed,
and he started back to raeet his wife
Header, imagine his surprise upon being
met at the door by his wife's lather, who
informed him that he was not wanted
there He was denied admiision. To
make bitterness doubly bitter, his wife
raised the window and coolly informed
him that he ueed never speak to her again
never for a moment claim her as his
wile. What caused this sudden change
on the part of the young wile aud her
people is yet a mystery to the young man
aud the public generally. But wasn't it
strange ? Did our hero piue ? Not a
bit. He drove to Fond du Lac, cousulted
a lawyer, aud immediately instituted pro
ceedins for a divorce. He is calm, re
solute, and declares that he will have a
wife if it takes all of four summers.
Hence we say truth is stranger than fic
tion." A Terrible Fate.
Iiclle Palmer Wheeler, of East Meadow,
L I., who had just married a young man
named Wheeler ol the same village, met
an awful death. She had just been
placed iu a liht carriage by her husband,
whij was preparing to follow her, when
some person fired off a gun in close prox
imity to the hoise's head as a parting
salute to the young couple.
The suddcu report frightened the
spirited animal, who gave a bound for
ward, broke from his fasteuiugs and rush
ed at a terrific pace down the deserted
street, the light wagon careening from
sidv; to tide in a menacing manner. Iu
attempting to round a short curve the
carriage was overturued.and the young
lady thrown, and, becoming entangled iu
the harness, was unable to extract her
self, aod was dragged for about half a
mile over the rough road, where the horse
was brought to a fctand by falling iuto a
ditch by the roadside.
Here the unfortune young lady was
found by the relatives and husband a
short time after. Her head was nearly
torn from her body, and every limb was
found to be brokeu in a number of places.
She was dead when removed, but a look
of unutterable agouy was fastened upou
her still handsome features, showing what
terrible suffering she must have endured.
STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA., MAY
The Murder of a Whole Family.
A correspondent describing the raur
der of a whole family in St. Clair Co ,
III., says :
The house in which the murder took
place 13 an ordiuary one story frame,
containing two rooms and a kitchen, with
a porch in front. The buildiug stauds
back about seventy five feet from the
road and is somewhat isolated, there be
ing no other hons nearer than half a
mile a circumstance which made it
exceedingly safe for the perpetration of
the heinous crime.
The scenes which met the gaze of the
Sheriff and his associatescn entering the
house almost hegger description. Stretch
ed out on the floor near the front door lay
the prostrate form of Friedcrich, Stelten
riedc. jr., with his skull mashed U a jelly
and his throat cut from ear to ear, and
on the bed lay his youo wife with her
head horribly mangled and her throat
cut also, while in her arms and ch sely
grasped to her bosom was her iuuocent
babe, only eight mouths old, with an ugly
gash in its head ; little further removed
on the same pallet lay the other child,
killed by a blow on the left temple, cold
and lifeless. In the adjoiniug room tlie
body of Friederich Sttdzeuriedc, Sr.,
seventy-five years of age, was fouud with
his face toward tke dour, his head horribly
mutilated and nearly severed from the
body.
Everything in the room seemed to be
in perfect order, though it was clearly
apparent that a fierce and violent conS'tct
had taken place between tlie Rasassiu aud
the victims, as marks of violence were
found on the arms and hands of Mrs
Stelzenriede, while her husband had one
of his fingers almost cut off. The children
aud the old man seemed to have been
butchered with more ease, since ouly the
heads of the former and the head and
throat of the latter exhibited the marks
of the murderous instrument. used.
It appeared from the evidence of the
neighbors and friend of the unfortunate
family that a bitter 'eud ha existed for
some time pat, on account of money
matters, between the Stelzenrieder family
aud one Fiiederich IJoeltz, whose vrila it)
a sister of the murdered nioman. IJoeltz.
it is said, burrowed money at different
times from the Stelze.uriedts, and gave a
chattel mortgage on his property to secure
the amount. It is further stated that for
several months past he lias been exceed
ingly embarrassed iu his buines:s affairs,
aod being pressed by his relatives lor the
debt, became quite offended, refused to
speak to them and alio forbade his wife
to visit or have any communication with
her sister.
All these circumstances having been
developed during the investigation, the
coroner concluded to send for Buchz and
let him tell his story to the jury. Poeltz,
on being notified, refused to appear,
urging want of time as an excue ; but
when a subpoena was served on him by
the sheriff and he was brought by force
to the house, he appeared quite agitated
aud even refused to look at tho dead be
fore him. On being quetioned in regard
to the murder he was exceedingly guarded
aud cautious ia his answer and very
artfully avoided criminating himself.
The evidence would seem to indicate
that lioehz had some knowledge of the
horrible crime, though it is possible that
when the iu vestigatiou taken place in the
court he may be able to clear himself of
any suspicion.
At a meeting of the Board of Com
missioners of St. Clair county a reward
of 51,000 was offered for the arrest aod
conviction ot the murderers.
Too Much for Him.
Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men were the most patient peo
pie, as a class, on the earth, and he was
not far from right, though there are times
when patience ceases to be a virtue with
the most enduring. Nearly everybody
iu the western-part of Michigau knows
Burr, who used to start a newspaper about
once a month the year round, generally
bringing them out in Grand Itapids, but
sometimes making a flying trip to other
poits.
Burr could stand to be told that he
lied about circulation, was on the fenca
as a politician, and that he didn't know
anything about publishing a paper ; aud
when iiieu thieateued to sue or thrash
him he ouly smiled a ea i smile and with
cd that mankind wouldn't get excited.
During a religious revival at Grand
Bapids, Burr was converted, aud it fre
queutly happeued that religious people
called at his office to talk with Lim. Oue
day a minuter came iu aud, alter talking
a while, he proposed prayer.
He was iu the act of kueeling, when
his foot strvck oue oi the outside fortius,
which was leaning agaiust a leg of the
stone, ready to be lilted up, and over it
he weut, making a bushel of "pi." Burr
looked at the ruin wrought, thought ol
the two weeks of overwork, aud com
menced taking off his coat, saying : I'm
trying to be a Christian and set a good
example, but rat my buttons if I cau't
lick you in jest two minutes !" The cler
gyman backed down staris in no time,
dodging the lye brush on the way, and
Burr backslid at once.
A good remedy to remove warts is a
tincture of cantharides, with a few drops
of iodine. Apply to the warts with a
small brush three or four times a day. In
a short time they will dieappc&r.
Milk-House.
In reply to a requsst from some dairy
men to give plaus for building a good
dairy houss, a correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette says:
Coolness ia the main thing desired. I
built what we called a fruit house several
years ao, which we also usad for a milk
house winter a&d summer. Insido id
this, twenty inches from the outside, I
built another fraae, which was ceiled
with wide boards Between the weather
boarding and ceiling sawdust was filled
ia. Twenty inches from th top of the
outside frame (the inside frame should
be that mueh the lowest) I laid wide
pLnks and covered the joints with nar
row boards, aad filled that space too with
sawdust. My sills were under the ground
and filled between with saiall rock and
lime. On the inside I filled some three
inches with thin stone, then took a sledge
hammer aud beat theta up finely, aud
leveled off. When this wa done I took
thin mortar and po-ired over the top and
leveled with a plasterer's trawel, miking
the whole rat proof. There should be
tiro djor shutters, one to each frame-, for
winter.
Another correspondent of the same
journal gives the following :
Lay up a foundation with good, hard
burnt bricks, or with stones, a thirteen
inch wail. On this set a frame, say of
fivB inch studding. After siding up, ceil
on tlm insi ie and fill in wish charcoal
Overhead have a floor and ceiling be
ueath the joints, putting charcoal be
tween. This is a nou couductor of beat,
aud also a good absorbent of foul air
Have doors ou the end aud each side ; at
least two thirds the distance back lrom
the door put wiu lows with sash hung at
the top, to be hooked up to the ceiling
Get wire gauze, paint it, and tack over
each window to exclude all vermin, "from
a eat to a gnat." Now put from four to
six ruches of good gravel on the floor aud
pound till it is stdid ; then cement this as
jou would a cipteru, also the side walls.
As jour frame will not extend in as far
as your wall, you cau put a shelf on it,
say nine inches wide, which will be handy
to use for various purposes. Lastly, put
a six inch tuba of galvanized iron at the
rear end, ruuniag from within a foot of
the ground to two foot above the roof,
with a cay on top and an opening ou ech
side equal to the diameter of the tube.
"x hea with good sweet pans you will have
milk and butter that wiil do to set before
a queen. Scrupulous cleanliness is very
iir.poi tant ; without this, no milk house
will make good butter.
A Lawj'er's Advica.
An Irishman, by the name of Tom
Murphy, once borrowed a sura of money
from one of his neighbors, which he
promised to pay in a certain time. But
month after month pasted by, and no
signs of the agreement being kept, hi
creditor at last warned him that if he did
not pay it on a certain day he should sue
him for it and recover by law. This
rather frightened Tom, and being able to
raise the money, went to a lawyer to get
advice ou the matter. Alter hearing
Tour's story through to tha end, he asked
him :
"Has 3our neighor any writing to show
that you owe him this fifty dollars?"
"Divil a v?ord," replied Tom, quickly.
"Well, then, if you have uot the money
you can take your time ; at all events, he
cannot collect if by law."
"Thank yer honor, much obliged," said
Tom. rising and going towards the door
"Hold on, my friend," said the law
yer. "Fat for?" asked Tom, ia astonish
ment.
"You owe me two dollars."
"Fat for ?"
"Why, for my advice, to be sure. Do
you suppose 1 live by charging nothing?"
Tom scratched his head for a moment,
in evident perplexity, for he had no
money. At last a bright idea seemed
to strike him.
"An' have yees any papers to show
that I owes yees two dollars?" he asked,
with a twinkle iu his eye.
"Why, of course not; but what does
that signify ?"
"Thiu I'll jest be after takin ycr own
abvicc, an' pay ueither you nor me
neighbor 1" saying which he left the
office and its occupant to meditate ou a
lawyer taking his owu advice and a doctor
taking his own medicine.
No Effect.
A German paper contains a reply from
a clergyman who was traveling and who
stopped at a hotel much fuqueuted by
wags and jokers. The host, uot being
used to having clegymeu at his table,
looked at him with surprise; the cleiks
used all their artillery of wit upon him,
without elicitiug a remark in self defeuce.
Tlse worthy clergyman ato his diuuer

gibes and sneers of his neighbors.
Oue of them, at last iu despair r.t his

"Oh, yes, but I am used to it. Do

Quit Smoking.
One of our force quit smoking a few
days ago, and as soon as he threw off the
shackles he became a zealous reformer,
and there is not a smoker in the office he
did cot visit aud wrestle with, us the
worldly minded say He said that smok
ing was killing him and he was bound to
break it up. And break it up he did,
and ilre4dy fait so much better that he
thauhtita pity, and was much surprised,
beside, that anybody smoked. He got to
talking with the doctors about the habit.
He would say : "Now it is all. a lie, aiu't
it, that smoking helfs digestion?" And
they would say "Certainly !" The hearti
ness of the indorsement invariably took
his breuth to that degree that he could
not faintly respond, "Of course," and
drop his ayes in triumph. Altera pause
he would say : "A very little pipe full of
tobacco, or a few whiffs of a cigar a
mild cigar, remember after a hearty
meal, aiu't of no benefit to digestion, is
it?" And they would say "Certainly
not !" And Ls would strive so hard to
concal his gratification from the eyes ol
the miserably enslived about him as to
appear iu actual pain. Oue would think,
to look at him, that he was disappointed
partly, ?o delicate was his fseliogs for the
unfortunate. Ou the fifth day of his new
and better existence he asked us iu con
fi lence if there were any ductors handy
besides those who fioqueuted the oSee.
He said he wanted to convince the boys
as thoroughly as possible. But there
were no more do'ctors. Then lie said cake
disagreed with hita alfiredly, and he
would eat some cake at tea and try for
himself whether a little temperate smok
ing right alter eating aided digestion
Cake still disagrees with him, but he ate
it at breakfast the next moruing, and also
at noon, and again at night. He ordered
it fur the next day. The third day he
sent out for it between meals. He ate so
much cake on that day as to require the
consumption of thirteen cigars, and he is
becoming so ravenously fond of cake that,
a ctrnr in the article is really imminent
and some few nervous people, also fond
of cake, contemplate calling a towu meet

"Sand the Bill to My Husband."
Kcaliza, my reader, says a New York
paper, the anguish of a lady compelled to
stand by another lady wearing larger dia
monds than her own. or isiore poiut lace,
or a longer train ? What will the world
think, at uuder the chandelier this pain
ful contrast comes out ? Such moments
of deep humiliation cause sleepless nights,
and the next day reult in bills that be
come as crushing as criminal iudietmeuts
to poor overworked men. Under the im
pul.-e of such trying ?-enes as these, many
a matron has gome firth on Broadway
with firom lips and eyes in which glowed
inexorable purpose, and placed upon her
arms or (intror, that might have helped
htr husbmd forward, the gems that would
be millstones about his neck. There arc
many phases of heroism, but if you waut
your breath taken away, go to a leading
aud iashiouoble store and sse soma large
souled women, who will uot ever count
the cost or realize the dire consequence,
but like some martyr of the past who will
show to the world tlie objs'ft of his faith
though the heaven lull, she marches to
the couutcr, selects tho costliest, and says
in tones of majesty, "Send the bill to my
husband !"
A brave women ol Boston, who refuses
to have her name made public, was left
iu charge ol several children, a few nights
ago, and oue ol them being taken sick,
she summoned a woman servant to carry
a prescription to the apothecary's for
sorae medicine ; but the servant came,
frightened out of her wits, saying that
there was a burglar concealed iu a certain
closed. The woman went straight to the
door aud said: "If there is anybody in
this closet, let hitn come out ;" where up
ou a big, sinister looking negro stepped
forth. The woman then, with the ut
most coolness, handed him the prescrip
tioo, saying, "Take this to the nearest
apothecary's and get it filled. There is a
sick child in the house." The black
burglar left without a word ; meanwhile
the woman, who bean to led a little
faint, called a neighbor. The latter was
about to go to apothecary's for the medi
cine wheu u clerk called with it, saying
that a negro had brought the prescription
aud then disappeared.
The Sea Mouse.
The sea mouse is one of the prettiest
ereatures that lives under water. It
sparkles like a dimond, and is radiant
with all tlie colors ot the rainbew, al
though it lives iu the mud at the bottom
of the ocean. It should not have been
called a mouse, lor it is larger thuu a rat.
It is covered with scales that run up and
down as it breathes, and it glitters like
gold shining through a flecky down, from
which tine silky bristles wave that con
stantly change from oue brilliant tint to
auother, so that, as Cuvier, the natu-a
list, says, the plumage of tlie humming
bird is not more beautiful. Sea mice are
sometimes thrown upon the beach by
storms.
In Switzerland there is a law which
Compels every uewly married couple to
