A man by the name of Craine, who was a great admirer of Andrew Jackson Davis, and believed “‘his work the greatest work in the world,’’ though himself a married man, and having a wife and four children in Kentucky, induced a young woman to give herse!f up to him by a solemn oath, whieh she says he ‘‘ worried out of her,’’ as follows: “Tnow declare before high Heaven, and cali God to witness, that I never will marry auy one but you—not ifall the world is against you.

He went to her father’s, armed with a revolver and bowie-kuile, called her to the gate, demanded whether she would go and live with him, and, upon being told that she would die first, fired upon her, wound- ing beria the breast and in the head. He then fled; but the neighborhood was aroused, the country scoured, and the murderer caught and lodged im jail. The young woman was alive at last accounts. A Daventer or Louis Paiwurrr Cranase ner Hussanp at Court.—ihe New York Evening Post of a recent date says that an amusing incident took place the day before at the first district police court, Halls of Justice, before Justice Weish. An elderly lady, toler- ably good locking and well dressed, was brought into the room by an officer. The pair was also accompanied by Edward M Rogers, second controller of Trinity church, the com- plainent in the case. He stated that the wo- man was deranged, and was in the habit of calling at his office and annoying him by claiming him as ber husband. Te had known her for twenty years, and she was out of her mind. The woman, who gave ber name as Henrietta Rogers, said she was the wife of Mr. Rogers. She fell in love with him eighteen ears ago, in Trinity Church. She had loved lin better than her God, and been a virtuous woman. He had now deserted her for Miss Vandenhoff and some other woman. She was a daughter of Lovis Philipps, and her family had to tes to the United States at the time of the persecutions of the Bourbons. The woman said ehe had cailed at Mr. Rogers’s to have him settle some pecuniary matters. Justice Welch dirceted the officer to take the woman to Dr. Covel, the examining physician at the Tombs.—N. Y. Tribune. —— + Excessive GALLANTRY To THE GIRLS BY THe Karri Lasoners.—In a late work by @. H. Mason, an English planter at the Cape of Good Hope, the auth r says: “The only fault in our Kaffir laborers arose from their exces- sive gallantry; for, I should observe, it isa native rule never to allow Kaffiir maidens to pass within sight without saluting them, or else intercepting their path, standing quite mute and motionless, while the girls survey them and pass on. Now, it frequontly hap ned that troops of girls came ps from the Kagir kraals with maize, thatch, milk, eggs, wild fruit, sugar-cane, potatoes, &c., &c., for sale; and no sooner did their shrill yoice reach the ears of our servants, than they rushed from their work just as they were. some besmeared with mud, others spattered with whitewash, and the rest armed with spades, pickaxes, buckets, brick-moulds, or whatever else chanced to be in their hands at the moment.’’ Tat Astor Lrsrary.—It is reported that William B, Astor has made a donation to the Astor library of eighty-five square feet of land, adjacent to the building now occupied by that intitation in Lafayette Place. This will more than double the area of the present site, which was valued by the executors, before any build- ing was on it, at $25,000. Mr Astor has al- ready made two other liberal donations to the library—one of a considerable sum to meet the expenses for the construction of the building beyond the sum prescribed by the will, ano- ther of £2,500 to provide a special department illustrating practical and mechanical science. Vhis is nearly completed, and a ial cata- logue is in course of} preparation. . ¥.
