BILE and SO kind, that in spite Of all, his
loss was bitterly regretted. And then,
as people have become confused by
the many different. names which Mrs.
- has borne, they have hickman.
ed her Mrs. Bluebeard, in cruel refer
'ence to her conjugal misfornnes. 1t
is very natural she should wish to rid
herself Of this surname, by triumphing
over fate! But her FIVE widowhoods
have somewhat cooled the ardor Of her
English admirers. Even the boldest
experience sort Of superstiiious ter.
ror; they fear least they may meet the
fate oftheir predecessors. Mrs.--
has realized how much courage is me-
cessary for any one TO venture to mar.
,ry her, and she has therefore come to
Paris. This is certainly compliments
ry 10 the. Parisians, and she will not be
disappointed. Asswe said, Mrs. ---
is not yet twenty-five years old, is ex-
quisitely handsome, and her last hus.
band lett her by a will, in which no
flaw can be detected, an income of
fi20,000 year. This is certainly
more than enough TO shut ones eyes
to the chimerical dangers Of the past.
Mrs would easily find in Paris
a man who, in spite Of the apparent fa-
tality, would esteem himself very hap.
py to become her sixth husband.

Something Of a Widow,

- There is now In Paris beautiful
young English woman, who has not
YET reached her 25lh year, but who is
already the widow Of her fifth husband.
Her youth, beauty, wealth, and the siL-
.gular. fatality which has marked her
matrimonial adventures, have given her
great notoIiety, and the fueil.eton OF
the Steele gratifes the curiosity con-
cerning her by the folio wing history.

ton Atlas: - 3siii@pe3 ~ aias' .sa~a il@
>sai Mrs. *'*i was not quite is years old
when she contracted her first marriage
sat Gretna Green. This matrimonial To-
Hcaiity issufiicient evidence that It was
a purely sentimental union, Two. RI
walls disputed for her young affections; !;
one was favored by her family, the 9TH
.er BY herself. The latter, Of course,
was the successful one. In order to
set aside all obstacles, our two young
people had recourse 10 an elopement;
.and put in requisition the famous black.
smith, Ywho unites enamored English
couples, at moments warning, and
without tho consent Of their relatives.
Tho nuptiaI benediction had just been
spronsunced, when tile unsuccessful ri,
val appeared. He hadfolIowed the fu-
-gitiSes with all the speed his gold could
obtain from the postilion; but the fu.
gitives had whole nights start of
him; and The rival was only able to ar.
rive just soon enough TO be two hours
too late.
"You have had useless chase, my
dear sir" said the bridegroom, happy
and proud Of his success, ''for we are al.
ready married."
'.lt may be so,'' replied the other;
shut have, at least, come in time to be
reyenged."
In accepting his challenge, the BRIDE
groom requested that the meeting might
be postponed to the next day, but his
Jealous rival would not consent to al.
ford him this qualification. They must
repair at once to the spot with the first,
seconds they could meet. The duel
was fought with pistols, and the BRIDE
gro ON, Struck by a ball in tho forehead
'lei:, never 10 rise again.
So Mrs. *** became widow two
hours after the celebration Of her iii ST
u,arriage. This adventure made so
much talk. and led TO so many scanda:
ylous rumors, that a. second marriage
only could allay them. Besides, the
young widow had known SO little OF
married life that she very naturally de.
sired 10 continue the chapter from the

Benton stated that if nothing better could be done he
would call up this project before the close of the

kind can be matured.

an old building occupied az store, ard adjoining
the Bank, was destroyed by fire. together with isS
contents Loss of goods estimated 900 to $1,000
Value of building not stated. The Nermonter says
it through great exertions of their efficient Fire

as the windows all took fire, and the flames burst
into the interior of the building.
The Editor very timely hints that the Bank pro

GREAT FIRE IN BosToN.-We learn from the Bos-
ton papers of Saturday morning last, that most
disastrous fire occurred in that city on the night
previous. The great Printing Establishment situ-
ated on Washington street, formerly owned by 5. N
Dickinson & Co. and which embraced the type and
stereotype foundries--at which Office the Christian
Several Dry Goods stores were also destroyed. AT
the time of going to press the estimates of losses
could not be obtained, but set as high as S3oo
300 Not less than 100 hands were thrown out OF
employment This is said to have been the most
disastrous fire with which Boston has been visited
for several years. The first discovery OF the fire
WIS Mt half past ten, and this ragged until some
time rast midnight vhen it was suiducd.
