A ROMANCE OF LOVE A YOUNG MAN TAKUS A WIFE FROM TEXAS TO NEWBURU HIS FRIENDS BLACKEN HER NAME ASP BUR ATTEMPTS SUICIDE DISAPPEARANCE OF HER UU-I1AND. The N6wburr, N. Y., correspondent cf tbe New York JJeralJ telegraph'd Tuesday's issue ol that paper: A few days ago a young married woman in this city took, la the presence of her husband, a lars dose ot morphine with the dsij;a of committing suicide. Help wh3 procu: eJ a soon ai pasMhlo;for, belore committing the rash act.she had tastened the windows! locked the door and secreted tho key, and it was sotue time ba.'ore he could alarm the other inmates of the largo boarding house where the attempt at aulcide took plac. The doctors succeeded bytbouseol emetlci in placing the woman bo-ond danger. It seeuis that the young man was employed in Texas last winter by the firm of J. KiglerA Co., of this city, who own live oak forests in that state and every winter eend down a large force ot men to Ret out tbe timber. , While there the you ii k man, as his family state, lived with the lady who U now his wifo for six month, and then, Just before leaving for the North in Juy last, AT HER EARNEST ENTREATY, MARRIED HER. It seemed also that there had been a previous marriage. The young man' family say that they balleve that the first husband is still living, and they have set on foot investigations in Texas with a viowof ascertains bla whereabouts. The wife, wbo is now about 21, says that when sbe was 15 she became the vie Ira of a mock marriage, the Issue of which was a child, now in Europe. The second husband aays she made him believe that the first was dead at tbe time ol tbe second marriage. At all events, No. 2 came to his home in this city in July last, and sbe went to Missouri. He visited ber there once or twice, but kept until recently all knowledge ol tbe affair troin his parents. About two weeks ago he took her to Tblladelohla, and leaving ber there, caine on to Newburg. On informing his parents, they very strenuously opposed his living with ber, and John 13. Kerr, a lawyer, and the recorder of tbls city, was Bent to Philadelphia to treat with her, and, if possible, persuade her to return to Texas. C SUB AGREED TO TAKE $150 AND GO HOME, and ha gave her that amount. Sbe started for Newburn soon after tbe lawyer left and the detective sent tbe news in advance that she was coming. On landing here one of the llrst persona sbe saw was ber busband, He got into tho hack with her, but leit it on her order soon alterward, and she was driven to tbe boarding bouse relerred to. During tbe next lew days they met several times and talked over their troubles, be still averrlDg tbat be loved her. but that bis parents were unalterably opposed to his recognizing ber as his wile, on account, as they claimed. of what they regarded as her previous Dad character. One day they took a walK in hc George's Cemetery, In the southern part ol

tbe cltj, and the drew a plstel and threatened to shoot him. II told her to abaot if she wanted to, but ehe put op her pistol without firing- ami BANK FAINTING ON A ORATE. lie picked her up, she revived and they

walked away. The next noteworthy Incident In tbe romance, or tragejy, was the attempt at suicide, already referred to. The people of the boose, learning from herself that she carried a pistol, had persuaded her to give it np. Od this night, after ehe bad taften th poison, her husband tried to get out of one of the windows, but she threatened to hhoot him, and, knowins that she bad had a pistol In her possession, he de sisted, and tbls gave rise to additional delay in securing help, though she had no weapon at the time. The husband remainedwi:b his wile for a day or two, then left and has not boen seeu since. It is re ported thit he baa been tent ofiton a sea voyage. The girl la still here, and tier atory ha- excited considerable sympathy. ROYAL. ROMANCE. A SAD AND SHAMEFUL STORY. A STRANGE TALE A SON OF A GERMAN COUNT K0AMINO TIIE FORESTS LIKE A WILD BEAST MISTAKEN FOR A DBKR AND KILLED BY A II U XT ER. The Moscow (Penn.) correspondent ot the New York Herald writes: Among the scat tered families inhabiting the wild region skiving the Poceno range of 'mountains, in tbe northern part of Monroe county, this f&tate, is that ot a German named Gotle'b fScbeibel. He came into the section some nve years ago, ana settled near toe do rar of Luzerne and Monroe counties, in tbe midst of a wilderness almost primitive, and commenced, with tbe energy and industry characteristic of his race, tbe liberal hewing cf a farm out of the wild tract he had purchased. Ills family consisted of himself, his wife, three rugged sons and a fourth boy, of a finer cast of features than the rest and with very little resemblac ca to the family. This chill was about four years Old when tbe family settled In this region, and being of weak mind was allowed every freedom that psttained to the isolated lite the family led. The boy developed a stratge passion for the woodland spent most of his time rooming about on tbe mountains, gathering berries and note. During the past two years bis excursions became more extended as the forests were cleared away in the immediate virtnity of his bouio, by Sheibel and other German families, wbo moved in tbe vicinity subsequent to the former's occupancy. The boy was called Johnny, and since h began to extend HIS VISITS DEEPER INTO TUB WILDERNESS, would sometimes be absent days at a time, sustaining himself by eating nuts, barrios and root, and sleeping in caverns and hollow log?, or In the open air in warm weather. He often on his return home related wild stories. Once he reached home with Lis fksh lacerated and hia body almost denuded ol clothing, bearing a young catamount which be bad attempted to capture, and tiuKlly killed with a club alter a terrible struggle. It was uaslejs for hia friends to attempt to keep him at home, and so for years he roamed the forests with only the many wild animals that still haunt this wildornf 8S for his companions, the lamp ot ns reason burning too dimly to show bim tbe danger of tbe life be was leading. It was while away on one of these solitary visits to tbe woods he loved to well that be was made au actor in the shocking tragedy, following which the history ol the waM became known. On Sunday morning latv he took a small basket and started off into the forest. He said be was goiog to bring in eome beech mta for a pot squirrel which he bad captured when it was young, in its net, and which be some timed took with him into tbe woods. He bad not re turned Monday hood, but the fact created no APPPKHEN8I0N IN THE MINDS OF HIS BEL AT1VES, who we're busy huskiug corn in a field some distance from the house on that day. About one o'clock lu the afternoon a mau in a buutet'tt garb appeared in tha field aDd startled tho family with the announcement that little Johnny was dead, the hunter himself having shot blm in mistake for a deer. Tbe body, he said, was at tbe house, he having carried it from the spot where the shooting occurred, about three miles away. in tbe mountain, schiebe! and his wife accompanied the hunter, who gave his name as Jauifcs l'billips, to tbe house; and there, lying on the lloor, riddled with bucksbot a cd covered with blood, was the dead body of the poor, half-witted boy. The grief ot the honest German and his wife was net demonstrative, but touching in the extreme. When tho first burst was over Phillips gave the lollowlng: He, with two otberc, were camped on the south branch or JJrigbt'a Uiook, a few miles north of the German clearing, and early on Monday morning they started out to hunt deer. Phillips was driving a ridge with tbe bounds and started a deer, which made off in the direction of the great swamp which borders on the counties ot Lnzarne, Monroe and Carbon, and is known as tbe Shades ot Death. Tbe hounds followed it, and be hastened to get a "runaway" In a ridge a mile or so away, where he thought the deer would eventually bs chased by tbe dogs, He reached tbe point, and baa been there but a few minutes when be beard tbe cry of the bounds some distance away, but evidently coming nearer, and In hia direction. Almost at the same moment he discovered a peculiar agitation in some laurels about one I hundred yards to hia right away. Alter watching tbe spot a moment be came to the conclusion tbat the motion of the busbea was caused by a deer. and without a moment' further thought HE TIRED HIS BUCKSHOT BARREL INTO TUB CLUMP. The movement ceased, and Phillips walked to the spot and pulled aide the bushes. What was hia horror to see stretched upon tbe ground, In an open space among the bushes, the body of a boy, with blood pour lrg from his side, Into which several buck shot bad entered, killing him Instantly. A basket, nearly filled with beechnuts, stood near, and the boy's bands wer lull or win tergreen berries, which he was picking when the fatal shot was fired. Phillips had heard from local hunters ot the eccentric Johnny Sneibe), and he had no doubt that the boy he had kliitid was the poor balf-wltted child. Knowing that the German clearing was aou.ewhere In tbat locality, he took the body in bU arms aod started to Uud it. As luck would have it he reached it without difficulty. At an Investigation held on Tuesday by the justice of the peace to whom Phillips re paired and asked for an examination, the following history or the b y was elicited from tbe Shel bels: Before coming to this country Sheibel was a gardener. In tbe em ploy of a German nobleman, living In Kronlg. In bis family was then living a sister, of his, Katharine Schelbel. According

to the testimony of the German she must

Imva been woman of considerable beaatv. and was, a the time be mentioned, about twenty years old. The count by whom ocneibei was mpioyea saw uatnarine one day and sent firr ber to become a servant In nn house, sue went, and Dosame, in a short time. A XI9TRESQ.r HER EMPLOYER She )y?ed In that way lor a year, when she returned' to ber brctfrer's boose, saying that she waseoon to become a mother, and that the count bad sent hve away until after ber child was-born. The sbild was born in a few weeks aft?? ber retnro, but tbe mother did not live to- see it, d jln;? fonr day afterwan. J. he child was taken in coarse by Mrs. Scbeibeh.and it was not Iog before Its deficiency in intellect was discovered.

THE REMAINS OP ANOTHER PREHISTORIC MONSTRR FOUND BOMB STRANOS R BLICH HIDDEN BENEATH THE SOIL OP THE WALLKILL VALLKY. The Hamburg, N. J , correspondent of the New York Sun says: Having heard that the skeleton of a mastodon had been found near Circleville a lew days before, I rode out to that village yesterday to take a look at the relic of a long buried past. Tbe spot rrom wnicn the oones were exhumed is on the farm belonging to Mic'aabl Henly, fdx miles troni Circleville. Mr. Henly bad dis posed of them to the Rev. Aalneon A. UaiuES, wbo, on Wednesday, had taken them to hia borne at Hamburg, N. J., 30 miles away. So to Hamburg I posted, and arrivod there last night. ThH morniog I called upon Dr. Ilalnew. by whom I was re ceived in his study. In tbe old-fasbionod homestead of his lather, one ot tbe ex-gov-ernors of the state of New. Jersey, and hav ing mace known the object of my visit I was soon treated to an account CF TIIE FIXDIXa OF THE MASTODON DONE Mr. Henly, the farmer on whose place the discovery wa made, was engaged ; a few days ago in completing tbe drain tbroogh a small piece of meadow land, and, while digging, was surprised at finding several bones oi a size tLUch larger than any he had ever seen before. As considerable excitement bad been caused only two years before by the finding of similar fossil remains a tew miles away the neighbors looked upon the new discovery aa one that might provo cf enual interest to scientific men, and word was at onre sent to Dr. Haines, wbo was known to bean enthusiast palaeontologist, and Into whose possession the remains of tbe mastodon found on the Crawford railroad bad : fallen. He repaired to the Henly iarui and rendered excellent assistance to the farmer in completing his drain. He bad not been long at work, however, berore be unearthed a piece of bon?. Alter damming up the small stream that ran tbroogh the nieado, he had tbe w iter b tiled from tbe drain, xnd digging carefully into a Btratum of black mud, he found im presse J upon theplatdio subdtanco the perfect shapes of several parts ota huge monster, which be at once he lieved to be a mastodon. Farther digging revealed a skull containing several teeth, in a good state of preservation, and now he knew that bis first Impression was correct, for the teeth were mastoid. Unfortunately tbe greater part of tbe remains bad already been pulverized by time, and many bones which were TAKEN OUT SOLID CRUMDLKD TO FOWDEn as soon es they came in contact with the air ; but a part of tbe jtwboue, sixteen inches long, tour molars, a piece of a tusk, and a thigh bone about thirty-nine inches In length, wero taken out in good conditio j, and bd fair to bold together lor a lon time to come. Judging by the length ot the .high bone, eveu if there had been no opportunity of forming an estimate by measuring tbe shape in i'.s inudJy mould, the mastodon waen alive muss hive &too eleven feet, which is about the height nf Dr. Warren's celebrated wpoclmen which was found near Newburgb, and is now In Biston. It we take tbeie two as types, and follow the line f st utbe-ds laid down by Dr. Warren, Waterhouse Hawkins, and uihar scientiflo men who have soug it to rebuild the frame of the extinct beast, Dr. Haines's mastodon's forefoot measured fully two feet across, and h's knee pan was of the size and shapo of a man's head. From the tip of his tail to tbe end of bis face ne was twenty-four leet long, and it would take a belt nearly seventeen feet to encircle bim amidships. The teeth which Dr. Haines bad secured are covered with excellent enamel. Tney are shaped like cow's udders turned upside down, and tacu Individual pai, upper and lower, did doty as a full set of twenty teeth in the jaws of any graminivorous quadruped now extant.. THR REMAINS OP THB MASTODON have been frequently found in that belt of land stretching from Warren county, N. J., through Sussex, and Into Orange county, I. Y.They are usually found in tert.arv or more recent deposits. Tbe first remains were dis covered in 1705. In 1801 a tcJerably complete skeleton was found in the msrshes of Orange oounty. It was taken to London the fallowing year, but vras afterward brought back here and pl&ced in Pealed museum, Philadelphia. In 1850 it was stolen, and no trace of it was over discovered although it is believed by uvaoy that it now lorms a part of the wonöerful collection belonging to Prof. Kampv ot D-urnwtadt, Germany. Another skeleton found at about the same time ne&r Newburg, was for some years exhibited in Baltimore. In 1848 It was purchased by Dr. Warren, of Boston, who still owns it. ilia known as the ' Warren Mastodon." la 1840 Prof. Koch procured a oolVection of mastodon bones lound on the bnfcksol tbe Missouri, and with theao he iorined a nondescript wbicb he called th9 Misourlutn, but afterward Prof. Oweu constructed a complete skeleton frnra tbe bows ot sevf ral individuals. This in now in the HritUh Museum. Tbe skeleton now at Cambtidge, Maas., was discovered In Warren county, N. J., In 1844. With it were lound tour very perfect beads, a number ot teeth and several bones. OTHSB DISCOVERIES. In 1S45 another discovery of fossil remaina Iwaa made at Alamuchy, on the borders of Sussex audi Warren counties. These were

found to be the bones of fcur maaiodonf and between tbe riba were found Miamea of vegetable matter no little dfompos-cj that is conld be readily determined en what food tbe animals bad tubsisted. la IS7I tiie remains of another mastodon were lound In the excavations on the CrawiSrd ra'.l.-oad near Circleville, Orange county, N. Y., and these, in a very good state ot prtservallon, are now in Dr. Hairer' mcseura at Harn burg. "Do you think, Doctor,' said I, "tbat there were men in thoaa rrt nt

earth where the mastodon and mammoth Jived?" "Yes," replied the Doctor, "I think there can be no doubt ol it. Tbe remains of tbe msmtr.oth found in Mi.s-mti a i sgo bore marks similar to those- rat i by arrowheads; and from figures foanc? cn uinesin einer parts oi tbe world, it Is beyond doubt that the mammoth I.-vh.I whs man ia tire stone sge."
