Twelve yearsaygo a family named Sawyer, ‘living in the town of Westbrook, were sur- prised to find that 5 sey sour new milch cow, carefully kept in stables, was “dry- ™gup.” This continued until Mrs. Sawyer discovered, some time after, the prints of human fingers in the soap grease barrel in the stable. Commynicating this discovery to her husband, he procured help from the neighbors and atboroagh search of the s‘able followed. Anexamination of the hay-mow disclosed a l hole, which, being followed up by pitch- ipg away the hay, led to asort of den-like piace in the interior of the mow. Here was found a being, @ man apparently of about 4 years, balf clothed in rags, shockingly filthy, and having no feet. One foot was mis- sing just above the ankle; the other was gone a little pigher up, the stump terminating in an oblong way, and in a manner showing that it was not the work of a surgeon, nor had it re- ceived the attention of a surgeon when lost. His face and head were of average intelligence, but not & word could be got from him He bad lived there a number of weeks, subsisting on the milk of the cow and the grease. He was turned over to the town authorities and placed ig the poor house, where he now is and has been for the past twelve years. All attempts to solve the mystery concern- img his strange being have proved fatile. No one has been found yet who ever saw or heard of him, and during the whole twelve years he bas wever uttered a word. Various experi- ments bave been tried to loose his tongue. On ene occasion he was given a bottle containing @pint of whiskey. He seemed to understand exactly what it was, for ke placed, it to his lips apd drank it at a draught, but it had no per- ceptible effect upon him. In manner, habits, &c., be is like a wild beast. In the summer he is keptin a sortof a wooden cage-like struc- turein the yard. He is vey é shy of strangers, and will hide his head in his tlankets when they approach. His quarters are comfortable, and it is impossible te give him better, for Sanitary reasons. Where the creature came trom is certainly a mysterious matter. He could not have walked from wen te be crawls upon his knees very slowly. e only thi attem, is this —A few weeks before the, man na aie covered. the steamer Sarah Sands arrived at this port from Liverpool, with a large number ofemigrants. It 1s conjectured that this being might have been a burden to some over the water. Mr. Sawyer (since deceased) hanled a load from (he steamer’s wharf at that time, and it is reasoned that the man might have been clandestinely added to his load, and from thence have crept into his stable.—/’ort- dand (Me.) Araus *Elope or ry. The particular of the elopement of the wife of a well known Grand street apothecary, named Koehler, with a boss tailor huve jus: been made matter of street talk. The injured hueband gives the following explanation. He married his wife some seven years since. She ‘Was a very accomplished lady, and excelled in music, and he spared no expense to cratify ber wishes inthis regard. Since their marriage, they p m worldly matters, and achieved a respectable competence. ‘Three children were born to them, and notacloud obscured the domestic horizon until Monday jast. Early that day his wife was unusually affectionate, and advised him to go out for the benefit of bis health. saying she would keep an eye to the store in his absence. He did not | go out, however. and toward evening she told bim she had to meet a lady in New Yerk to transact some business in relation to the sale of apiano. This appeared reasonable enough. andthe unsuspicious husband offered no ob- He waited long and anxiously for bur she came not. Next morn- | ing received word that a friend of his and a near neighbor engaged in the tailoring business, named Ovikers, was also missivg. This excited bis suspicion that an elopement between the two had taken place, as they bad been previously very fond of each other's society. An interview with Mrs. Oel- kers soon satisfied him that this was the case. It seems that Oelkers had sent his wife to a German theater the evening of the elopement, promising to call for her when the performances | were over, but, instead ot doing so, he packed | up his clothing, took 200 from a bex, and left | wi & carriage for New York, There he called ata house in Fifth street and got two trunks, | witb which he drove to the Hudson River rail- | road depot in Thirty-first street. There he met | Mrs. Koehler, and the two entered a train to- | gether, since which time nothing has been heard of them. Oelkers leaves a wife but no children. The three children of Mrs, Koehier feel the loss of their unnatural mother very keenly, and their cries for her return enter deeply into the heart of the afflicted father. ‘The only money Mrs. K. is known to have taken is about S10. She is a fine looking woman, about thir ears of age. The man for whom she sacrificed all that a woman should prize is ber senior by many years, neither well-favored nor polite.—New York News.
