Constantine republican. [volume] (Constantine, Mich.) 1836-1838, 1836-11-02

p The Wisconsin Democrat of the 18th Oct,
published at Green Bay, concludes its editorial
department for tho week with the following hu.
morous summary--which we adopt as partly
suitable TO our own present condition, and fit
ted to the meridian Of almost any place, without
material uariGti0n-
10, News this week is intolerably scarce, and
the hope of shortly receiving fresh supply, is
but faint. We have been anxiously looking for
q steamboat, but begin to despair of the arrival
of any. Our paper is almost filed with the SEN
timental and pathetic--which however accepta.
bic to those who love light reading, will be cast
aside by the business man, the speculator and the
politician, as stale, hat, and unproftable."-
We can't help il; and if we fail in pleasing any
body else, we hope the ladies will be pleased, as
they can generally appreciate the merits Of pocsy
and love to Gull the flowers of literature. But
even our bards have deserted US in this trying
time-the mails and the muses. appear to have
conspircd against US. "There are no marriages
in this paper" says a fair one, after carefully
scanning each column" what poor things these
western papers are !" Why don't some body get
married; five are not favored with some origi-
nal ones before long, for the especial benefit of
our fair readers we shall publish second edition
Of those which have been perpetrated, or the
We wefe preparing pretty considerable essay
upon tho death of Louis Phillippe-the supposed
state Of France, and had just concluded, as we
thought a most brilliant paragraph upon the
probable effects Of the hostile movements on the
part Of Austria and Russia, when the words All
y Hoax" in the Galena Advertiser, struck our
astonishcd vision-the pen dropped from our
hand, e. we almost wished that Louis Phillip were
teftnct, rather than that the world should be de.
prived of our effusion. We shall preserve it,
however, until Louis is " kilt" which will proba-
bly, be in the course oftime. An interesting oc.
currence took place some where in Europe,
which we shall endeavor to relate. As the Prin-
cess Of - was crossing the river Of, the
boat in which she was riding unfortunately upset.
A young South Carolnian, who was in the VII
cinity, plunged into the river, and succeeded in
rsscuing the princess from watery grave. The
next day he was invited to the palace and receiv-
cd as . reward for his galantry, q diamond
breast pin, studded with pearls, worth several
thousand dollars. This is too good to be hoax,
and we think our readers can with safety believe
Il. A strange occurrence lately took place in N.
York. A young lady who was engaged to be
married stepped out, on the evening previous to
the performance of the ceremony, TO purchase,
a. was supposed, some necessary articles. Not
returning, however, during the evening, her be-
trothed and relatives were in painful state OF
anxiety and alarm. The next morning, informa.
ton was brought that she was lying ut the aims
house--very i'll. She had been discovered in a
field near by and appearances indicated that she
had taken laudanum, The remedial measures
applied nearly restored her. She has given nc
explanation. These are tn, only two occurrcn.
ces worthy Of note, that have come to hand
and they are worth dozen common occurrences
