The fairy of the enchanted realm entertains her subjects in an earthly way.

Some young men, while hunting near Booneville, Ind., a few days ago, came upon a beautiful young woman, who had apparently been roaming for several days through the swamps and woods in an almost nude condition. When she discovered them she darted away like a frightened deer. They pursued her to a cave. catching her just as she was about entering the same. She is about thirty years of age. Her face and body have been terribly lacerated by brambles and bushes. In her temporary hiding place were found a quantity of nuts and herbs and a piece of an old broken earthenware pitcher. She was carried to a neighboring farmer's house, where she has become more docile. Her name has not been discovered, and she refuses to reveal it.
