hundreds of thousands of dollars involved in

Ann T.. Barber. aged IL, and l.. b. Young,

were buried in one grave, after having de-
parted this life under the following circum-

able young gentleman, most ardently and
devntedly attached to Miss Barber between
whom and himself those promises and at
tentions had been interchanged which
pledged them to the marriage union at no
distant day. One in every sentiment, as
well as in sympathy, they both, a few
months since, made a profession of religion
at the same altar, ard at the same time.
On the day Of their death, they had gone
on a water excursion, with uncommon
buoyaney and animation of spirits along
with four Others in sEif, which suddenly
overset, and plunged them all in the water

We have noticed with regret, for several
weeks, the attempts making by the Harris
burg correspondent of the Danvile Intslli-
gencer, to destroy the well earned repu.a-
tation of MIR. Higgins, for his faithful and
vigilant support Of the present democratic
state Administration, and have looked around
TO find some justifable cause for this attack;
but, have not been able to find any, unless
it be the stand he has taken in opposition
TO the grasping disposition Of the Danville
interest which has SHOWN itself so conspicu.
ously Of late; particularly in their attempts
10 dismember Northumberland county for
the purpose of retaining the courts Of this
county at that place. This is a sufficient
reason for them; as it has always been their
policy to destroy every man, if possible,
who would not worship at their shrine, or
succumb TO their dictation. They know
full well !ha. SO long as Mr.. Higgins retains
a sea! in either branch Of the Legislature,
they cannot effect the dismemberment of
that county, hence their attempt TO preu.
dice the democracy against him, tha, they
may prevent his reelection. But in this
we feel assured they will not succeed as
we are happy to perceive strong disposi-
ton appears to manifest itself TO elect him
this fall to seat in the senate from that
district, station he would fill with honor to
himself, TO his constituents, and to the state.
