THE WILD WOMAN OF THE
NAVIDAI).
About a year since nn account wns
published in the Victoria Advocate
respecting a strange creature, whose
tracks had been discovered on the
banks of the Navid.id, near Texana
The foot marks of tlii3 creature re
sembled those ofa woman.am! a report
was circulated to the ellect that a
wild-woman had made her retreat in
the forest of the Navidad. Within a
few weeks several attempts have been
tnado to capture this singular lioing.
Mr. Glascock pursued it for several
days with dogs, and at one tunc an
proached so near it as to cast a lasso
upon its shoulders. It however, with
great adroitness eluded tin snare, and
fled to a dense thicket, where it could
not be traced. Mr. (ilntcock slates
that he was near a small prairie en
closed by the border forests of the
river, when the cicUr.re emerged
from the woody, and ran across the
prairie in full view, it was about
five feet high, resemblini a human
being, but covered with hair ofa red
dish brown color. In its hand it held
a stick about six feet lonir, which it
flourished from side to side, ns if to
regulate its motions, and aid it when
running at lull speed. Its head and
"neck are covered with very long hair,
which streamed backward in the
wind. It ran with the speed of a
deer, and was soon out of sight. The
dogs pursued it, and came so close
upon it at a small creek, that it was
compelled to drop its stick, which was
taken lv its pursuers.
This slick is about six feet Ion?,
straight and smooth as if polished with
glass. Several other parsons have
repeated! f seen the creature, and thev
all concur in representing it as a hu
man being, but so covered with Mian
jjy bairns to resemble nn o'urang ou
lang. It has frequently appr mdtctl
'the houses of the settlers in that neigh
borhood during the night, and stole
Various articles among oilier things
it carried off a quantity of towels, one
or two books, and has also taken sev
eral pigs. One of Us nests were found
in the loresl, in which were several
napkins, folded up just ns they were
taken from the house, and a Bible
marked J. J. Wright. A bill for
washing also enclosed in the I'ililc.
The foot-marks of this strange being
liavc been traced to the bottom of the
Navidad, but it has eluded nil attempts
to capture it. I he old settlers in that
section say that these foot-marks have
been noticed for ten or twelve years,
nml that several vcars njro there were
other foot-marks, indicating that three
nf these creatures were in company.
Within the last year the foot-marks of
onlv one have been noticed. Mr
Glascock intends to collect a pack of
good hound3 atiij resume the pursuit,
and he is continent that he will sue
ceed in capturing it. lie has incur
red considerable expense, and has ex
posed to great hardships and danger
to secure it, thus evincing his-full be
lief in the identity of this mysterious
being. It is not improbable that dur
ing the war of the devolution when
the people of that section wrro driven
from their homes by t'ie victorious
army of Urren, some children might
have been secreted in the woods or
left there, and their relations never
returning, have become like wild
beasts, clothed with hair, nnd feeding
upon herbs and such small nnimals ns
they can capture or piller Iroin set

Society ih -Z'iiii.aijklimiia. The
Daily News stales the estimated pop
ulation of Philadelphia at the present
time to be 350,000, or, in other words,
70,000 families. Of this number, only
200 families have a competency for
support above manual labor; 20,000
.depend upon mechanical and profes
sional branches: and the residue of
47,000 is divided into two parts, viz:
30,000 who labor or arc desirous of
laboring, and 17,000 who resort to
illegitimate and criminal means for n
livelihood. Of this class, G000 are
supposed to be beggars; 4000 who
depend uporufce oflaJ of the streets
and what they can eollcct from the
.feitchens of the wealthy; 3000 who
oteal; 100 who starve for want of nny
kind of support; and 3000 who follow
a promiscuous livelihood. Such is the
state of society in Philadelphia and
the elements which compose it.
A negro boy in Louisiana, during
the cholera, hearing his lather say
that the disease would soon be along
that wav, left his work and betook
himself to the woods. Being found
by his overseer fast asleep, he excused
himself on the ground that not being
prepared in mind to die he had gone
to the woods to "meditate." Out said
the overseer, "how was it that you
went to asleep? " "Well, I don't know,
massn, how dat was zactly, biT. 1
speck I ovenprayed myself."
' The Bellasl (Me.) Journal tells or aa olJ
Udf who wis always troubled with the
asthma during the prevalence of east wiods
"After consulting physicians without sue.
eess," her husband nailed the weather,
cock with his head lo the wfst, and she
hasn't been troubled with the disorder
ince.
Mrs. Partington, according to tlia Bos
ton Post, expresses great apprehension that
lite people in California will bleed to death,
as every paper she picks up nnnounces
another vein opened.

OBITUARY.
"Leaves have Iheir lime to fall.
The flowers to wither at tin; North wind's
breath,
The finis i,i spi but nil.
Thou Inst nM seasons for thine own, oh.
Heath!"
tlow mournfully are we impressed willi
llie sad truih ol these lines when vre look
upon iIk u r, t i in f I y destruction of nature,
and the periodical changes of the planeta
ry system. The leaves l ave fallen from
the irees and the little (lowers which put
foitli in lite spring-. withered at the cruel
breath of winter. "The sun set last night,
and will still obey the same immutable
law but the victor, Death, lias no period
ical lime to dissolve frail mortality. He
visits 1 lie living at nil seasons of the year,
and frequently when least expected, ns in
the circumstance of the death of our es
teemed friend and sclinnLnia'e, Joii.v VV.
Coi-hland, Jr., who departed this life nl
the residence of his father, Sunday llie lOlh
inst., in the twenty fifth year of his age.
That fatal malady, typhoid fever, preyed
upon ihe vitals of the deceased for some
four weeks and then wrested from our em
brace our friend John V.
The wri er ol this trifling memento to
departed worth, was intimately acquainted
willi the deceased from his infancy an I
can testi'y io his many commendable q-inl
ilies. Me had only attained i tic age of
manhood, surrounded by all the endear
meiits of parentage, when the King o1
Tetrors marked Imu ns bis prey and sent
the cruel hub lliat dissolved his earthly
tenement ol clay. He was young ami
promising of keen sensibility, and consid
ering his opportunities for menial culture,
none had a mind superior to his. In de
bites he was second to none, espcC'ally in
ihe ait of reasoning. In lite untimely death
of litis talented youth, society has lost one
of its brightest ornaments, and morality one
of its main supports. I J is unohlruisive
manner and mild deportment elicited ihe
admiration, and his upright benevolent
and obliging disposition, the warm esteptn
and lasting regard of his numerous school
males. He was an obedient son, an affection'
ate brother, and an agreeable nssocinte.
He has left parents, brothers, and sisiers,
and n numerous circle of fiienils, to de
plore his irreparable lops, nnd lo pay the
mournful tribute of their tears. He tins
led a name identified with morality, hon
esty and clf-ib lity, nnd nl-o, a wound
which, like the waters of an intermitting
spring, will seemingly be arretted in its
course, but which iiguin will burst forth in
all the ttiribulency of grief. His page is
filled; bis course is tun, nnd our friend is
no more. The hour of his final departure
arrived his destiny wns sealed.
The death-warrant, bearing the signa
ture of Omnipotence was issued, nn I llie
angel of Death, in obedience lo his high
commission, opened the nventie of eterni
ty and bid his spirit retire from all earthly
scenes lo llie laud of spirits. His eman
cipated siiiit has winged its flight to llie
God who gnv- it and is now nn occupant of
eternity. His pale corpse must rest in the
ilent mansion of the tomb until the faded
taper nl day gilds for ihe last time the
recording verges ol materiality nnd llie
trump of Gabriel summons all mankind to
appear at the high Chancery of the Limb.

Hook ICkepi.nu The study of Boole
keeping is exhilarating and elevating in ils
operation upon the mind: It prompts to
hone-it industry, by stnetlv accounting for
the Iruils ol daily enjoyment. It forms a
check to ihe ra!i and indiscreet by hold
ing a caricature nflheir own iliawing in a
l.liislrng resurj (if illdevised schemes. It
expands Hit? nt i ml from the grovelling syco
phancy uf a pedlar io the nci, operations
of Ihe merchant, whose every sail wafts
new luxuries upon llie wings of every
wind. Ii is a natural code of laws, which
has grown with the growth ol society!
Sacred in llie eyes of your Legislature;
binding alike on nil piriies concerned; of
daily, of hourly occurrence; indispensable
10 the man of extensive operations, and
iipially beneficial t0 him who seldom
trades. It is n science without a knowl
edge of which etery man fit limes must
feel awkward in social life; anil without
piintng it in practice, must coti-tanily he
liable o hi. wronged and wrong himself.
It' ei'uc ilion should be -luted to ihe wants
nl the in i-i, tli 'ti Honk keeping i-hould ha
taujhi to all, for all men want a conipel.-n-cv
to live by; no I i,o properly i su Secure
