JANE ELMoRESANDs.-Itis stated on the authorI-
ty of the Mirror that the mysterious death ofthis
unfortunate girl some 40 years since, and which
produced such thrilling sensation at the time
in our city, is about to be converted into the
subject of novel by Mr.. Fay. We well recol-
lect in our childhood what an excitement tins
sad event caused, and the indelible impression it
left on our memery-served up TO us as 1t was
among the nursery tales of horror with which
our housekeeper fed our marvel-loving ina
ginatlon, as we sat around the hearth and
fanced We saw in the glowing einbers every
hobgobln and spirit that magic or necromancy
has conjured into existence. Time has partial
ly obterated the imagery Of this dreadful pic
ture, but the graphic outlines, though dmmed,
seem by the laps of years to have become magn-
fed in their grim and fearful profile. We re-
member well how eloquently our old nurse, Oor
she was truly eloquent and of deep reading for
her station) depicted to US the scene when Ell
more left her aunt's home,-the sleigh and the
snow, and the bright moonlight-the dark fe-
rocious features OF her supposed murderer
the beautiful lneaments of the girls face-her
innocence, her amabe virtues, her fond devo-
ton to the wretch of whose cruelty she was the
victim-the consternaton-the dreadful horror
which her absence occaSioned-her bonnet, her
veil, and The deep well where her feess, man
ged corpse was found. To this day we remem-
Der the fatal well in an open field, on the out
1t is now some populous part Of the town-but
we can wildly recall the frequent visits which
our boyish curiosity led us to make to it, and how
we stood there OH its circular wall and gazed
tremblingly down upon its black turbid waters.
1t was at this spot that was nightly seen after
her death, as the story goes, the apparition OF
her ghost with dishevelled locks and in white
shroud all besmeared with blood-ngering
around the curbStone and on her knees implor-
ing in pteous cries the mercy of her savage
murderer. But lew there were who did not be-
lieve in the truth ofthis widely extended super
stition, and but few there are who were born
at that time, who have not heard recounted to
them this melancholy fate OF the untimely death
Of poor EImore Sands-as one of the most ro-
mantle and touching narratives that enter into
the local history Of our country, and which is
more intimately blended than any other with
our earliest recolle No theme could have
been chosen by Mr.. Fay more prolific in Incl
dents of tragic and heai attending charac-
ter, and if he does it justice, as we believe he
will, he may congratulate himself that others
who have preceded him, have left untouched or
neglected to avail themselves of a subject of
such intense interest and one so susceptible Of
dramatic deberation.-M Y Star.

IMPORTANT

The United Staies and France.-The
Philadelphia Commercial Herald SAYS
- Some alarm has been excited by a word
or two dropped, as was said, from Gene
jackson lately at the Navy Yard. Wash.
Ington, lest there might yet be rupture
between the United States and France, in
reference to the Treaty Of Indemnity. To
quiet all fears on this subject, we deem it
proper to say that when Mr.. Dickerson,
Secretary Of the Navy, was in this city a
lew DAYS ago, he expressed himself in the
most emphatic manner, thai there would
be no rupture with France that the Pre-.
s'dent oil the United States and his cabinet
and the King of France and his ministers,
all alike, felt the necessity of having the
matter settled, and disposition TO ex2e-
Date contamination so devoutly wished.
We also learn that the President has with
~ few days declared that no want of a
ht'le courtesy on his part should prevent
me aJudsement OF this matter, aud the re-
ceIpt by those TO whom il is due, Of the
. millions of dollars to be paid by France.
