Mr.. Cough, the eloquent temperance lecturer,
recently related the following Imaginable story Of
the way the ladies' of a certain town routed q
rufnselier:
There was bat one IN town. md If il had been
put TO vote there would have been a ma loritv Of
six for the removal of tho groggerv. The
male portion had tried little moral suason, that
s they had said nothing to him on the subject
but as he getting very rich, bowed lower to
him than to others that were not wcll OFT, and
they had tried some legal suasion, the sha pc of
coupo Of fines of so each, which he paid worry
willingly for the benefits he derived from his traf
fic. At last the women took the matter IN hand,
and assembled 10 the number Of about hun
dred and fifty. They divided themselves into
twelve committees of twelve each. Tho first
day committee visited him in body, and each
of tho twelve gave him, IN turn, temperance
lecture. He was rather taken abacl1 at this, but
thinking he could stand it as long thoy could,
he was apparently unconverted. The second day
he vas visited by similar committee who gave
him twelve moro lectures. Ho stood this, too,
wondering VIVA. what was TO come next. Tho
next day third committee made its appear
ance and commencing their arguments,
when he interrupted them by asking how many
there were to como yet. In reply he Wa, told
that twelve committees had been formed. of
twelve women IN each; and when he had been
visited by the twelfth committee in turn tho first
committee would make second vlsl.,and 50 on IN
regular succession. .'Wel!,' said the poor vuEi-
seller, ''you needn't 60 my further III give
up And give up he did; and from that day tho
rum traffic was put end to IN that town.
Mr.. Cough said he had been telling this story
at temperance meeting, one evening, when a
man SAID TO him at tho close. "what dreadful
predcanent that poor runl-secr must have been
in, with one hundred and fifty women occurring
him. know something about women's tongues
for I've been married five years.

NIOUrnful Trag6Iys

DEATH OF Miss OAKs.-We this week, So 5
tho Black River Journal, called to chronicle 4
mos. melancholy occurrence, in which young
and anna bio lady has been Suddenly unexpec-
,eIy torn from society and from life. and two
highly respectable families thrown into deep mour-
ming. On Thursday last, George Brown, son of
Mr.. Brown, residing in the village of Tylervlo,
LOWS county, New York, had, with twp or three
o.her Young men, been on q hunting excursion,
and when emnence opposite tia dwelling
of Mr.. Simeon Oaks, and about % rods distant,
saw his daughter, JAxE NJ, enter a small rear
building, when ono Of the company said, ''now
shoot brighten her, y upon which young Brown
instantly and without reflection, levolled his gun
and fired at the building and unfortunately with
fatal effect, the ball entering tho young lady's
shoulder and passed through her body in trans
worse direction, piercing her heart and lodged on
the opposite sidc.-ThIs was about O'clock. p.
NJ, but it not till ! in the evening that the
family mado acquainted with the sad truth
Of their bereavement. She was then found dead
and frozen. The meeting next morning of the
families of Messrs. Oaks and Brown. who have for
many years lived terms Of the strictes, friend
ship, is described of deep and terrible
gulsh.
Young Brown was examined on Saturday, be.
fore Judge Ch,tenden, and held TO trial for man
slaughter He was admitted to bail in the sum
of s 1000.
Miss Oaks was in the 10Th year of her age,
amiabe, accomplish and the idol of hcr parents
and friends. Her death has clothed u nerhbor-
hood in sorrow, the more SO that It occurred under
circumstances SO peculiarly heart-rcndlng.

Highly Important from sIexico---sanea Anna
Captured and in Prison.

We received last night by the Government ex-
PRESS slips from the Now Orleans Pcayuno
and Courier, containing advices from Vera Cruz
TO the 26th ut. The report of the capture of
Santa Anna is confirmed. He was taken from
prison at Pero,e the 10Th ut. and marched
off, under a strong escort, for the city of Mexi-
co, to stand his trial before both houses of Con-
gress.
Previous TO his capture he made several at
tacks upon tho city of Pueba at tho head Of 1000
troops, but repulsed with great loss Of life
Soon afterwards he left the army, ubou: four
leagues below Puebla. with escort of several
hundred men, and proceeded towards Jalnpa.-
Before arriving At tia. city he parted with his es-
cort, md attempt 10 make his escape to the
mountains foot, and in tho disguise Of friar.
On the 18th Of January he was discovered In
4 barance (ravinc) near little Indisa village
called Jito, and some leagues from Jalapa, by
couple of Indians who wore hunting. The dogs
belonging to the Indians became rcstIve and fu-
rious, the Indians followed the direction of their
barking and found the Dictator, who offered them
his watch and such money he had about him
if they would guido him 10 his haciondn This
they refused TO do, but gare the alarm and he
was taken prisoner.
When he was captured he had taken off his
cork leg on account of the nflannnIaton produced
by walking upon 1t, and was carried by his SER
wants.
A proclamation dated January IA, announced
the re-estabi shment of peace IN Mexico, and in
yited the citizens to return TO their homes. The
members forming the Provisional Government of
lS4l, have been reques ted to form part of the
Assembly under the same charter.-Ba tlmoro

Foreign PauperS.

The great number of foreign paupers found in
the Aims House Of the United States, affords a
clear indication that system has boon adopted
in Europe Of sending their paupors TO this coun-
try-for hale and hearty Europeans who arrive
in this country, hayo tho same opportunities as
natives support themselves by honest labor. and
there IS, therefore, no why such persons
should take refuge in tho Aims Houses. Nor Is
it from this description of foreigners that our
poor houses arc crowded It Is from those who
were paupers in thor own countries and who
have been transported get rid of the expense of
keeping them at home.
we have heretofore published returns from the
poor-house of New York. and now subioin
the number of paupers admitted into the CONNER
cia Hospital, Cincinnati, from 1871 to S44 in
elusive. from which it will be that the foreign
poor greatly outnumber those born IN the coun-
try.

excavations in which the buried cities of modern
Europe will re-appear in their ruined grandeur;
how strange tho discovery Of submerged navies
ennbalmed in tho ocean beds or the foundered
ship with its imprisoned skeletons; the battle
field with its PROSTATE warriors; the hallowed
cenetry, crowded with the relics of youth and
age, and crushed beneath their tablets Of marble,
and their monuments Of bronze!

A Gentle Hint.

One of the Custom House officers, who has
been visit at Washington for six or
eight weeks past, was told while there. by an
honest Government officer. that he had better
return home and attend to the duties of his office
otherwise. Congress might, possibly, abolish the
office" The absentee took the hint, and left the
city.-Boston Atlas.

Manufactures.

A company of Boston capitalists have secured
tract of territory for two miles along both banks
of the Merrimack at Andover, where they con-
template tho establishment of manufactures, on
large scale. This will perhaps be the germ of
another city similar in It's character TO Lowell.

We cannot too earnestly or too frequently press
upon the attention of Congress and the State Le-
gslatures, the necessity of passing restrictive

prompt remedy, for it Is increasing upon US.
