TINE the MARQUIS nau tDaue SUN GA iu'-
| preston, that he was admitted to the
house on the mostintimate terms.
Atlength be told the old lady that be
could no longer resist so many attrac-
tions, and that his life depended on her
returning bis love. The widow blush
ed, and the marquis went to tell her
that be should not have hesitated so
long in making his proposals, but that,
being of an extremely jealous DISPOSE
ton, and as madam had manageable
daughter, he should be always alarmed
lest those who came to pay their attsn-
ton to her, might be smit,en with the
superior attractions Of her mama.
Therefore, madam, be added, It must
be, that you will marry her without de-
lay-and after that, we shall live in a
state Of perfect bliss.
Gross as this was, the old lady swal-
lowed it: her extreme desire to be made
marchiouess made her then regret, for
the first time, that she bad refused her
daughters hand TO Pastourd She gra-
ciously accepted the marquis's offer,
and told him that his wishes respecting
Nichon should be complied with. On
| the same day she sent for the chsvalier,
and told him she would consent to his
immediate marriage with her daughter
Pastourd, who was Of course acquaint
ed with the plot, agreed to every thing
and 10 twelve hours aftarw ards was u
nited to Nichon.
The day after the marriage, and as
the widow was expecting visit from
her marquis, she received from him the
following letter:
an. extremely grisved, madam, that
business of importance ccmpels me to
go into Gaseony, from whence have
received letters, stating that the greater
part of my property (including my pa
tent of nobility which had been preser.
we'd by my illustrious ancestors with the
greatest care, from the time of the de-
luse, has been destroyed by FIRE. All
that remains to console me under this
loss and disappointment, (for, which
fortune or title, how can | pretend to
the honor Of your handy is, that have
been the instrument of bringing about
your daughters marriage, and in bid
ding you farewell for ever, permit me
to advise you, in case you should re-
ceive any more offers of marriage, to
inquire little more cautiously after the
gentlaman than you did respecting your
MAsCAR,LLE.
1t is Of course impossible to describe
the lady's Indignation at being thus
grossly deceived and affroated, for she
now saw through the whole affair. She
went into the country, and declared she
would never return Time, however,
changed this determinations; and the a
pologies and forboarance of her soh-in-
law, aud the afectonste attentions of
her daughter, induced her to forgive
them. and TO abandon that silly vanity
which might have destroyed her happines

against Jesse Strang, for the murder OF
John Whippe at Cherry Hill, near Albany,

have also found bill against Elsie ID.

ment, and about 9o'clock at night, Strang
sent for Mr.. Becker, the gaoler, aud made
full confession ofhs guilt.
In his confession, he implicated Mrs.
Whippe. the wife of the deceased, who,
he says, repeatedly urged him to the com.
mission of the fatal act, which he as often
declined. until finally in an evil moment, he
Welded to her solicitations. What Strang
says on this subject ought to be taken with
great allowances, as he has heretofore
made similar charges against mrs. w. and
subsequently,, after first denying that he had
made them, declared that if he had done so,
he said what was false.
Strang states that on the night before
mentioned, he was in this city, and after
purchasing piece of cloth at Sheldon g.
Sykes store in South Market-street, near
Beaver. street, and then going to Meigs'
apothccary shop, at the corner of South
Market and Hudson street, and buying

his rifle which he had there secreted, and
asccnded an elevation in the southwest cor

in at the window ofWhipple's room, and
from which place he intended TO shoot.
But finding that he could not see mr.. w.
from that place, he went TO the shed under
the window. laid his rifle in the gutter, NOV.

Mr.. Clay left this city on Monday, TO
make a visit 10 the West. From the fol-
lowing paragraph, whchwe copy from the
last Pittsburgh Statesman, it will be seen
that preparations are making in that place
to receive him, and to give him testimony
OF the high rank he holds in the estimation
OF the enlightened citizens of that place:
"Thc arrival in this place of Mr.. Clay is
hourly and anxiously looked for The
preparations for his reception arc worthy
OF him, and Of the city by which they are
making. Between four and FIVE hundred
citizens have already determined to give
him public dinner. AS Pennsylvanians,
We cannot but rejoice at this demonstra-
ton of respect for, and gratitude to, one
of the greatest benefactors Of our State.
Few men have ever passed through so
long a course OF public life, with public
reputation so unstancd and unsullied; and
none has ever exhibited in a greater de.
