into argument as to the importance Of each
Section being represented in the Grand Sec.
ton at its meetings by at least one represen-
%tative, especially at the Annual Session al
which time business Of Importance and inter
est to the Order will be transacted. 1t is
hoped every Section in the State that duly
appreciates the future benefits and influences
which our Order is destined to confer upon
the rising generation and the Temperance
cause, will not fail to be represented at our ap
preaching Annual meeting.
The Committee would state, in behalf o
Friendship Section. No. l., that arrangement
will be made to accommodate all representa-
tives who may attend. so that they may b
free from expense achik they remain NTH us

Mrs. MrLLER.-TRe Niagara Mystery
"A letter from Detroit to the Vermont
Family Gazette, gives the following par
~ticulars of the return Of Mrs. Miller, and
her account of her absence, which viii
doubtless lead to a full explanation of the
mystery:
Mrs. Miller has returned to her friends
in this city. She states that it was her
intention when she left the hotel at Ma
agara, to have thrown herself of the
bridge which crosses ove to Goat Island
Just above the cataract but, on arriving
at that place, she had not the courage
10 do it," she was a coward on in-
%stinct." She had. previous 10 leaving
the house, put her children 20 sleep,
written letters to her parents, and n to
the landlord, stating her intention, and
requesting them to be kind TO her babes
she had also cut of her curls, and left
them with the letters, in a conspicuous
/ place on the table.
Prom that time 70 the present, nothing
!, positive mas been heard from her. HeI
| father, however, spent several months il
t a fruitless search. Returning in Juns
: or July, he died of a broken heart. No
long since, a brother o. others died at Sara
s toga. His death, too, was undoubtedl,
: accelerated by the same cause. Learn
j ing the condition of her family, Ibelievt
she intimated to them, by letter, wher
9 she could be found, and her willingness
to return.
! Accordingly a friend ofthe family wen
after her. last week, and brought her HON
st to mourn with her widowed mother owe
the ruin she has caused. Her children ar
IS with their father, Major Miller, |somt
where at the South. She states, and
b. believe it is generally understood her
e. that domestic difficulties drove her TO ii
OF rash act of leaving her children and d.
,r stroying herself. and that after shudde
he ing on the brink of that awful guilt, 81
or changed her plan, and buried herself
a convent OF nunnery near Baltimore.-
m She positively denies having been
he company with any gentleman. but foul
her way to the monastery alone, al
