Investigation proved that the sus- ;ciiiu wa.s correct. The information was ::uiieil by a young man of Bethany, 'b liail been a rival of the music teacher â-  the hand of the young lady. He told â- ;;c Secret to a few companions, and they 'ianneil tu capture the teacher on a cer- •-..Ln nijit and tar and feather her. This •came kiiuwn in some way to the girl -I'hdell was to marry, and, notwithstand- :..: her murtification, she warned the â- jcuer (if her danger, so that she escaped ' in the tnwn by night and returned to j iii; Eddy, where she resumed female .."â- ;rc f"' a short time. Early in IS-'jO slio again f»ut on male "tire, and for eight years lived the life of hunter, riiaming the forests of Sullivan, 'elaware, Wayne, and Pike counties.

Ac- ^i\\w^ til her subseipient statements, her ifildlife was one of thrilling adventure "'.d privation. Her narrow escapes with 5JI animals and her sufi'erings from cold, 'â- Uii;,'er and sickness during her career in ":.o Woods she recorded in a book entitled "Ihe hifu and Adventures of Lucy Ann 'bdell, tlie Female Hunter of Long -J'iy. â- ' She returned to l^ong Eddy in '^ji. hroken in mind and body.

She once more resumed the habd- â- iOiits of lier sex, and, after wandering •^"Ut the valley for a year or two, an 'â- jcct of pity and charity, she also sought -â- c' shelter of tlie almshouse. lu the Slimmer of 18G8 a young woman "int: the name of Marie Louise Perry '-L.iiue an imuate of the poorhouse at Uelhi. She was in poor health, a stranger â- 'â-  i-ie county, and evidently well educat- 'â- ^- -lie declined to give any account of •erself, but it was learned a few months i:ierward that she was the daughter of jfcll-to-di) parents in a Massachusetts vil- â- ;;i'e. and was a graduate of a school in 'â- "â- ston. It was rumored that she had •ya away from home, married a man to *-i"i;i her parents objected, and been de- â-  :ted by lain. This rumor she neither â-  lied 11 or admitted to be true, 'â- 'â- 'â-  intimacy grew up between Mrs. â- '•'â- ;.• and Lucy Ann Lobdell. Theybe- â- :!e strongly attached to one another, â- .th,,;;^rh their habits, character and an- -ilents were so widely different. Leam- ' that the almhouse authorities had in- n;;etl lier parents of her whereabouts, '-« girl resolved to leave the institution, ;j'l Lucy Aim Lobdell accompanied her. -Inoy vere not lieard of again in Delaware "•nty untU they were discovered in the '•â- aw,sl3ui-y jail, masquerading as man ' wife, ami were returned to the Delhi "rhousc. They remained there but a _; 'rt time, and then left the place again "^^ resinned their roaming life_ in the 'â- ; 'ids, insisting on every occasion that â- "'y were man and wife. A marriage -rcniony between them had been per- ;;^iel in 18G9 by a W'ayne county Jus- â-  "f rlie peace, he being ignorant of ;rliO.-jV^A Jj308!M the fact ihat.the parties were ioth women. In 1876 thay appealed together m Honeadate, Wayne county. The "has. band, it was then seen, was violently in- sane, but the "wife" clung to him with an affection that was remarkable. For the good of both, the lunatic was placed in jail. The grief of the other at the sep aration was pitiful, and she begged to be allowed to share her "husband's" ceU. There is now on the court records of Wayne county a document wliich was drawn by the unfortunate companion of Lucy Ann Lobdell at this time. It is a petition for the release of her "husband, Joseph I. Lobdell," from jail, on account of his failing health. It was written with a split stick for a pen, with ink made from the juice of poke berries. It review- ed the case of the " Female Hunter " from a psychological standpoint. The language used was clear, correct, and logical, showing that the writer, though a voluntary outcast, was a person of superior education. "Joseph J. Lobdell " was finally releas- ed from jad, and the couple then took up their residence on a smallfarm in Damascus township, Wayne county, where they lived peaceably until 1880, when the "husband" wandered away, and finally became an inmate of the Delhi poorhouse again. She is now in the Williard Asylum for the Insane. The " wife " still lives on the Damascus farm, and insists that her name is Mrs. Joseph Lobbeli. Lucy Ann Slater's chdd, a daughter, was taken from the Delaware county poorhouse soon after her mother became an inmate there, and Avas adopted by a wealthy Wayne county farmer. She grew up an attractive young woman. There lived in the vicinity a dissolute young man named Kent, who tried to win the girl, but she rejected him. One night in the summer of 1871, as she was return- ing from an errand at a neighbor's, she was seized by two men, gagged, and thrown into a waggon, which was driven away toward the Delaware River. A thunder storm came up, during which the girl became unconscious. When she re- covered she was lying on the shore of an island in the Delaware River. She had evidently been thrown into the river, but had been washed ashore. She was dis- covered and taken off the island by a man named Page. She was so dazed that she was unable to give any account of herself, and was permitted to wander away from the locality. When she was missed from her hfime a search Avas at once begun for her. She was found three days afterward wandering in the woods, a raving maniac. It was days before she recovered her rea- son. She could remember nothing except being kidnapped and hearing the roar of water. She said she recognized Kent's voice as that of one of her abduct(jrs. He was arrested, but escaped from jail and left the country. The girl has since been happily married. â€" â-  â€" â-  â€" ^.^ A Conscientious Conductor. "How did I become Superintendent " answered the railroad official. " Why, it was this way I was conductor of the morning passenger express, and one day as we were coming down by the junction we struck a misplaced switch and ran into a freight train that was standing on the siding. As we were running about thirty-five miles an hour, of course it piled things up a good deal. Our engine was smashed all to pieces, the 'smoker' telescoped the baggage car and the for- ward passenger coach ran up on the heap and rolled up. I was standing on the platform at the time the thing happened, and luckily was slung off about thirty feet beside the track. When I picked myself up everj-thing was confused, the air was filled with clouds of escaped steam, and about fifty passengers were somewhere in the wreck. Of course, it was what you might call an ' emergency,' but there's no such word as that in the company's dictionarj-. I had my orders, and knew what do to. The roof of the smoking-car lay near me, and I heard a man crying out from underneath it. After about ten minutes' work, I got the stuff all cleared away, and reached him. He was very weak and groaning. ' Oh, heavens 1' he said, 'this timber presses on me so, I can't move. Both my legs are broken below the knee.' 'Think you'll be here till the next train V I asked. ',0h, yes,' he moaned. ' Then you'll need a stop-over check, sir, I said, and I made out a paste-board and gave it to him. 'Young man,' he said, ' I observe you have neglected to fill irf the day of the month, but under the circumstances, your omission is excusable. I am a director of the company, and, if I sur- vive, your attention to duty shall be rewarded.' The old gentleman pulled through and is now Vice-President. That's how I'm Superintendent, and â€" " he continued musingly, as he fingered his lantern watch-charm. " I believe in the old saying that the companyhas rights which the public is bound to respect, and rules which they must conform to.." â€" [Life. "Ireland needs to be informed," writes Mr. John Bright " but a large portion of Ireland is not willing to learn. I be- lieve in just measures, and in their effect, and in time and patience, and 1 am ready to hope, and even to believe, that within a reasonable period we shall see a change for the better in Irish affairs." Men should be too broad, liberal, and sensible to entertain intense hatred, says a Kansas paper, "for they _al way result in misery â€" and occasionally in shooting." It is said that the name of the Bag o' Nails Inn, in London, was a puzzle to everybody till an antiquary renovated one of the old signs, and discovered that Bag o' Nails was a corruption of Bac- chanals. W«rk and ttorry.' ' Mr. Herbert Siencer thought that the most valuable piece advice he could leave us in departing from our shores was to be less restless â€" to work less and play more. Overwork was the besetting sin of Ameri- cans, according to the English philospher, who spoke with more feeling and the stronger emphasis on the subject because he himself was a victim of the very ex- cess against which he warned us. He had come to the United States, in truth, with the hope of restoring tone to his nervous system, so shattered by indiscreet application to study that he was unable to sleep sound. Sensible people here, however, knew very well that working too hard was not an American vice. The men who com- plain most of overwork are usually those who are unfitting themselves for exertion by bad habits of self-indulgence. They could do their work without undue strain if they did not otherwise overtax their nerves. But there is â-  another very frequent cause of ner\-ous prosti-ation. It is hasty and unmethodical labor, the habit of hurrying. But that cause, it seems, is commonly active in London no less than in New York. The London Lancet warns the "city men," that is, the business men, that they are wearing themselves out with un- necessary hurry and bustle. It also tells physicians that they could do far more to prevent the spread of nervous disease if they undertook to cure this vicious mental habit, then they can liope to do by dealing only with the particular ills which come from it. One of the chief characteristics of business life, the Lancet says, is to be always in a hurry. The moment a lad enters a business house " he begins to make believe to others, and so quickly to himself, that he is overwhelmed with work. The result is the formation of a ' mental habit' of hurrying, which before long becomes the keynote and motive of the whole life. It is the custom to write and speak as though commercial men were really as much pressed for time as they pretend to be. Now, the simple fact is that all their haste and turnioU, prejudi- cial and often ruinous as it is, is artifi- cial. The bustling, hurrying man, as a matter of fact, is a poor worker, and accomplishes comi^aratively little in a day. Too much of liis steam power is expend- ed in kicking up a dust. The habit of hurrying and of feeding in a hurry is fatal to good work, and diminishes the amount of work a man can get through with. The friction is too great. So httle of practical value is accomplished, de- spite all the superfluous expenditure of energy, that he cannot go home at night with the sweet consciousness of duty done, of a day's work completed. He has left too many stitches to be taken up. The men who accomplish the most never seem in a liurry, no matter how much they have to do. Everbody must have observed that. They are not troub- led for lack of time, for they make the most of the minutes by working in a cool, clear, orderly, and methodical fashion, finishing each job properly, and not wasting their nervous force on trifles or expending it in bustle. They are more likely to be hunting up new work to do, in order to give their faculties more varied employment and to exercise some which are not sufficiently used. Too much to do The highest pleas- use and greatest satisfaction are found in work only, and the more work a man has to do, if it is work to which he is adapt- ed, the better he likes it. The men to pity are those who can get nothing to do, and those whose only business is to hunt for pleasure for [itself â€" the fellows who have no other occupation than that of killing time. But we are also sorry for the men whose manner, as described by the Lancet, suggests a boiler worked up to the highest pressure and only saved from bursting by frequent letting of steam. Too Much Timber. "Well, what's the matter now " asked Simpkins' wife as he staggered in about 3 o'clock in the morning. "Well (hie) an' 'e said 'Putsh stick in 'm so (hie) soda.' So I saysh 'Putsh stick in mine,' Then I gesh â€" "Well, I guess," remarked Mrs. Simp- kins, laying considerable stress upon the personal pronoun, "that he put a whole cord of wood in your soda, and that it all went to your head." And when Simpkins woke up the next morning he thought so tX Twenty-four O'clock. A peculiar clock, which marks the hours from one to twenty-four, has recently been completed by a VTilmington manufacturer. The new timepiece is of the kind soon to be adopted by several of the raihoads. The most conspicuous innovations are in th« marking upon the dial and in the movement of the wheels which run the hands. The minute hand, instead of making twelve re volutions to every revolution of the hour hand, as in the ordinary clock, makes twenty-four revolutions while the hour hand passes around once.
