March 25th 1870 CE For the Reporter. Agricultural College, March 12.— Glancing over the flourishing Repor- ter of last week we were amused to see a short item headed “Brushvalley beats Pudingtown,” also giving us orders to shoulder arms. And we did shoulder arms. and marched over to Mr. F. Decker’s with a firm step and steady arm. Society called to order by President Johnsonbaugh, and firing began as rapid as if there bad not been a shooting match in Brushvalle;. The strings were so short that it was impes- sible to measure. When the shooting was over we turned into Mr. Deckar’s fine new house and dined sumptuously. As regards Mr. G. Hubler win. ning the hog and other articles, that is very easy to account for—-none of the Uuion Marksmen being there. We are very well acquainted with Mr. G. Hubler; he used to attend shooting matches up in our part of the country. He could not have gained a hog up in our country, nor a turkey, not even a white rooster. When the Brushvalley shooting match went into press, G. H. never ex pected that it would ever reach his old opponents. Now if Mr. Hubler and his friends will propose to meet us at Centre Hall, between now and the first day of Apnl, we will shoot with them for ten dollars. Please let us hear from yon soon Gum. * The Socie- ty adjourned to meet at the house of Jno. Cobles, on Saturday next, at one o'clock, tu shoot for turkeys. P. 8.

Prince Henri De Bourbon, creates im- mense excitement. It was caused by some insulting letters written by the latter, branding Montpensier as a Jes: uit conspirator and calling him a bloat- od French pastry cook. Generals 8, Alaminar and Cardova and Colonel Bolaracted as seconds of the Duke, and three Republican deputies to the Cor- tes performed the same service for Henri De Bourbon, The Prince won the choice of weapons and ground, and the right to the first shot. The distance was ten paces, the combatants firing alternately. The weapons used were revolvers. The first and second shots of the Prince De Bourbon missed. At his third shot the bullet grazed the cheek of the Duke, causing a slight wound. Montpensier's first shot missed, his second slightly wounded the Prince and his third proved fatal, the ball en- tering the furehead of the Prince, kill- ing him instantly. The Duke exclaim- ed, “My God, what have I done!” and swore to protect the Prince's children, The Duke and his seconds sre in Mad- rid, not having been arrestéd. It is said that the affair will injure the Duke's chances for the throne, When the Duke had fired twice the seconds endeavored to effect a recon: ciliation, but the Prince was furious, and refused all offers. It is rumored that a French intrigue is at the bottom of the duel. Er — EUROPE. London, March 15—2 p. m.—Owing to the threatening aspect of affairs in Ireland, arrangements are in progress for the strengthning of the garrisons throughout the island, The Times of to day, in discussing the new repressive measures proposed by the government in relation to Ire land, fears that they will prove but lit. tle more than a movement of good in: tentions, and even if enforced, they will not secure the desired object. The Times calls for harsher measures to check at once the outlawry which threatens life and property in Iro- land, In the house of Lords to-night Lord Granville announced that a band of outlaws were roving through Galway and Mayo, attacking houses, levying money, firing hay racks and commit ting other depredations. They swear that tle farmers shall give up to them the possession of the north of Ireland, threatening to kill them and destroy their property unless they comply with this outrageous demand. The troops were moving throughout the country and it was hoped would be able soon to check this outlawry to some extent at least. Paris, March 15—midnight— La France publishes an unauthenticated report that the French Ambassador has left Rome and that the govern ment of Austria supports France in its opposition to the dogma of Papal infal- ibility.

The Wy- oming jury, whereof the better half were ladies, after four days of deliber- ation upon a simple case of homicide, have actually returned a verdict to the astonished Court. To be sure, it was only reached by the process of exhaus- tion; but the alleged impossibility of feminine agreement being achieved, what does it matter that the ladies of the jury were very much fatigued, and doubtless retired to their homes thor oughly disgusted with the exercise of at least sme of the rights they had wrested from tyrannical man. We hope their hardships will not he fatal to the great cause, but that the noisy few will persevere until they are con- vineed, like their sisters of Wyoming, by actual experience, that our rights ‘include duties, the performing of which is not the sort of sport they had imag- ined.

A Heart Reuding § Story of Real coo Life The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press tells this sad story : Through the guilty the honest must suffer, and never was the fisct mere dis- tressingly illustrated than in the late arrest of a New York counterfeiter. One of the best engravers in the coun. try, if not in the world, was arrested in his office, where everything went to prove and where he unreservedly con- fessed his guilt—~too completely bro- ken, amaged and confused to attempt a denial.—He was a fine, gentlemanly looking man, though of late somewhat dissipated, owing, probably, to the wretched business in which he was em- ployed. He had ‘werked for Tiffany & Co., and for ‘the American Banking Company, as a skillful, honest engra- ver, and so up to within two weeks, thought his family. his disposition, and the great crime of which he is surely gilty, he has been a kind father and hushand, and never éarried his sip into his home; neither is'he what may be termed a bad man, if we can reconcile these incongruities with the fact that he was arrested for the worst crime that an individual ean practice against the Government. Bad men tempted him with large profits for his genius was invaluable to the regular counterfeiters ; profits however that he never realized, for once in their and tuke his chances of immense gains along with possible discovery, convie- tion, and the State Prison, After his arrest, in company with the Chief of the Secret Service and two subordinates, he was escorted to his home a ruined, disgraced, guilty wretch and the scene that ensued was indeed heart-rending. Accustomed as were the officers to painful family griefs, brought gbout by their summary ar rests, the usual sequences of home m- nocence and tears was nothing new or unlooked for ; but the family’s dispair touched even them, and they did not care to meet the gaze of the affrighted woman who met them at the door, A beautiful daughter of sixteen lifted a white, horrified face beyond her moth- er’s ; another of ten shrank against the wall ; & bri ht, intelligent boy of six stood transfixed in wonder ; and a smil- ing infant of two confronted :he miser- able futher and husband. The officers needed not to search the house for tra- ces of his evil deeds.’ Wife and chil- dren were innocent, and the long prac- ticed offic: rs knew it at a glance, The unhappy wife sank into a chair. Clasping her shaky hands one over the other, and swaying to and fro, she moaned the pityful ery to Heaven, “0, God! why can’t [ die?” Hoar wet face was livid beneath its tears, and shrank and sharpened visibie, like a tace that is dying. Tear after tear fell from her staring eyes, and rolled down her pal- lid cheeks to her lap. Never once putting up her hand to wipe them away, they lay idie and helpless on her knee, and the look she turned on him was utterly heart-broken, The young daughter sobbed frantically, “O, fath- er, futher, what have you done ?” Then turning to the chief, “0, don't believe it, sir; my father could not do it.” The little girl clung to the officer's knee in childish entreaty. “Don’t take my father to prison ; please, please don’t I” The boy hid under the bed, and the baby crawled at his mother’s feet whim pering in his fright unheeded. The father looked upon the ruin he had wrought==the grief he had brought upon his loved ones, and sob after sob broke from his bosom. Dashing down his graver, he said, “God cursed me in my genius, and I'll never jift it again” He covered his face, and’ in Ais tears those who loved ‘him hushed their cries. The poor wife found her strength and voice at the piteous sight, and came and put her hand gently on his shoulder: “My poor, poor husband! How could you bring us such sorrow, aud yourself such dreadful misery? Lt is Saturday night, and there is neither food nor fire ; and they will take you (0 —etO—==eit way from us, and Oh! what shall I do for the children ? Who will pity or help us after this?” “I expected sowe money to night,” said the criminal, taking from his pock- et a torn half dollar, “thisis all I have; igh get a little bread for them waight” He put it in ber band, but NN: di oviog vats Tare Cara x drt Tiber met tied. “My husband in jail! My chil- dren starving! O God what have I dove that I must suffer so!” Here the chief stepped forward: “You shall vot suffer; I'll see, madam, that you and your children are made com- fortable.” She lifted her streaming eves. “I am #0 full of trouble I don't know how to thavk you; heis guilty, guilty, but ~=my husband.” “Yes,” burst out the prisoner; “I am guilty ; you have the presses plates everything, and knowit; but before Almighty God they are iunocent ; they know nothing of it.” “Iam perfectly well aware of it.” said the chief, and as it was painful to all, they departed with the prisoner, leaving the desolate home to its tears and anguish, If ever mortal grief was written on a woman's face, it was stamped on the ghastly features of the counterfeiter’s wife, when she looked on the weeping children; ho reproach —only “how could you, how could you" I have seen the law forced into many Juving homes, where its head, by its recent crimes, brought sudden woe, but never did I witness 30 harrowing a scene as this miserable engraver's dwelling. She kept twisting her fingers together, aud sobbing and moaning “to-morrow is Sunday ; oh, what a Sabbath for me, my children, my husband!” She was a lady by education, birth and association, and this blow struck her to the earth. She could endure and conceal poverty, but this prison crime the world mast know, and the horrible grief aud shame were hers to bear as best she might. The State Prison surely awaits the father, and death the mother—if the face she car- ried to his cell that morning was an index to the sufferings within, And the bright eyed boy, the crawling baby, aud the beautiful girls, what will be- come of then? The late counterfeit uprooting tore a guiltless womans heart asunder, and let it be a warning to other wen who have a fine devoted family to peril in their disgrace aad ruin, i ——— A Subterranean Voyage. The Story of a West Virgina Plow man—He Breaks Through the Crust of the Earth—Fails into a Subterra- nean River—Siz Miles in Forty= Eight Hours. When we were publishing a paper in Lewisburg, West Virginia, several years ago, a very singular accident be- fel a young man there which we narra ted briefly at the time. A few days ago we chanced to meet him here in ture at our request. It occurred on the farm of General A. W. G. Davis, in Greenbrier county, in 1856. We give his story in his own words, as near as we can recollect them. “I was ploughing on Gen. Davis’ farm in 1856, said he unsuspicious of being on’ insecure ground, when sud- denly the earth seemed to fall beneath me. I saw the horses descending, but was too frightened to let go the plough handles. The pitch of the horses with the earth gave my fall an impetus, and somehow I caught the mane of one of them in my fall, and so held on in. stinetively. = What I thought when falling I can-hardly tell. ‘Atany rate, I did some rapid thinking. When I landed I fell on the horse whose mane I had hold of, and althoagh the horse I was merely stunned and confused. On recovering myself I looked up, and the hole through which I had fallen looked so small I concluded I had fallen full 150 feet. My first thought was to call for aid, but I instantly recalled the fact that I was at least a mile from Gen. Davis’ house, and that there was not the remotest probability that any one It was then early morning, and as I had brought out my dinner with me, no one would miss me before nightfall. own mind, I heard the rush of water near at hand, and it occurred to me that I must have fallen upon the bed of Sinking ereek, which as you know, falls into the earth above Frankfort, and does not come out but onge till it reaches the bauks of the Greenbrier river. To say where I was, or to at- tewpt to follow the subterranean pas- sage, was the next question. I some times took the teams to my own tenant — am 6 wo ao stables, and therefore wight not be missed for days; so I determined to follow the stream. I waded in it, and, judging from its depth of from one to three feet, I concluded it must be the indentical Sinking creek spoken of. Leaving my dead companion behind me, 1 followed the stream.—For the most part I bad pretty easy work of it, but sometimes I came to a deep place, where [ was forced to swim for a con- siderable distance; agaln was often precipitated headlong into deep water | by the precipitous natare of the rocky | bed of the stream, Talk shout the darkness of the grave! The grave itself could wot bave been more impalpably dark than the pas. sage I was following. The occasional ripppling of the waters was au inex- pressible dear sound to my ears. Day and night were the same to me. At last, wearied with my efforts, T laid down on & comparatively dry rock to rest, and must have slept for hours. When I awoke again I took to the wa ter, carefully ascertaining which ‘way it ran, 80 a8 not to lose my steps. It seemed to me that the farther I went the more dificult progress became. When I had gone perhaps a mile, I! came to a place where the arch way nar rowed so much that I had to erawl on my hands and knees in the water, looked for. I tried either bank of the swim under water for a considerable | distance’ but the distance before me was unknown, and I balted long be fore making the dangerous venture. At last [ coucluded that my fate was equally doubtful in returning as in| me proceeding, and plunged boldly inte the current, and soon found that it was soswift in its confined passage that I only needed to hold my breath to go through. In the course of twenty or thirty feet I again got my head abave water, and took a long breath- ing spell. Again the archway abswve Vol. 2— No. 4 0. 48.

On awakening, [ pursued my coarse down the subterranean stream, and at last in the long distance ahead, saw a glimmer that looked very bright in the darkness J was then shut in. Near ing this, I found that it did not in- crease in brightness; and when I had gone perhabs a mile, I came to anoth- er blace where my path narrowed to the very tunnel filled by the water. My case was now become more desper- ate. I could not possibly retrace my steps, so I submitted myself to the cur rent, and was immeasurably overjoyed to find myself rapidly swept into day- light, Exhausted and half drowned, I crept out upon the land and was not long in recognizing the objects about me. I had come out into the Green: brier river, as [ knew from the famil- iar look of Gen. Davis’ mil on the bank. On reaching home I found that [ had been over forty-eight hours in making my perilous journey of six miles underground. ; The hole where this man went through is now fenced round.
