We repeatedly prqpOund the question, to .ho.o

We respectfully propound the question, to those
liberal gentlemen, who compose the volunteer Fire
Engine Companies Of the noble city Of Philadel-
phia, how they can do an act Of generosity more
worthy OF the "City of B.o,hery Love, :. than to-
present one of their engines. Of small power, bat
sufficient for the purpose. TO their poor little sister,

western frontier, amongst the Indians, aud is too

The sleiyhing and wheeling is now equally ex-
cellcnt. There is much stir about town, in all
sorts Of vehicles, but the chilling noise Of wagon
wheels ereaking along our snow paved streets,
! speaks loudest through our frosty windows, the
language Of shverng Wiater. Teams are be-
ginning to venture out upon the frozen river; and
in day or two more, will commence the sleigh
riding upon the ice between St. Paul and the Fort,
five miles above, which affords all the horses such
abundant amusement, exercise aud recreation
through long winter. In fact, the whole river
from here TO the Fort, is converted into sort of
horse ball room in winter; and LOOKS as lively as
masquerade ball. av .
Last Saturday morning, Mr.. Fran lin Steele
ventured down from the Fort, with horse and
ing, and the rough surface Of the ice will soon be
covered with a smooth sheet of snow.
The appropriate Thanksgiving proclamation Of
his EXceliency, the Governor, will be found in
another column. The first sentence, if any, is
open to criticism. 1t opens thus: SIT is meet,

and for poultry not half the children in Mime

it would please the butchers, or not, it would be

We stated last week, and stated truly, aud il,

jurors of Benton county did not get their pay, was
that the marshal had not received the money

n complete answer TO nearly column Of the last
Chronicle.
A ptful fellow who has kept his law single out
for year in Minnesota, without getting fee, and
who has habitualy done dirty work for the Chroni-
Gle. labors through half column of that journal,
to prove that it is al! right for Cut-Nose-Jack &

Pioneer, ''once, and but once,' framed unslillful

The Chicago Democrat relates the
following, as having actually Occurred an that city:

not enclose to them ten dollar note.
''She refused, and the attack came. Where

II is natural inference, but not al

A St. Louis correspondent Of the N.
York Herald relates the following. Whether
imaginary or not, it is good hit:
"Ihe Hon. Thomas II. Benton arrived in town
a few days since, and Immediately departed for
Jefferson City, it is presumable, to fix things up
among the wire-workers, preparatory to the cleo

The Providence Stabbing Case.

Dangerous situation of the Seducey and
Desperation Of the Seduced. We gave
brief account Of the stabbing Of Charles
Rhodes, by Ann Sullivan, in yesterdays
paper. The streets are still full! of run,ors
and no little excitement prevails in regard
to the affair. Much sympathy is expressed
for The girl, and generally very little for the
man. The facts so far as we have been
able TO ascertain, are these. About eight
O'Clock OH Tuesday evening, she having
armed herself with along dirk knife, pro-
ceeded to the Alhambra, kept by Mr.. BIZ
ven, on South Main st. Before reaching
there she changed bonnets with the woman
who accompanied her, and sent in for
Rhodes to come out, which he did. She
then entered into conversation with him in
q mild way, but soon drew from her bosom
the knife, and stabbed him in The abdomen.
He Immediately reiterated into the Al.
hambra where she followed him. He elud-
ed her pursuit and escaped through the
back door and was taken home by his
friends. Doctors Miller aud son, were
called and attended him through the night.
He now lies in very critical situation aud
the chances are against his his recovery.
She does not deny the stabbing, but JUS
titles herself on tie ground that she is the
victim of seduction. When taken by
officer Pulen, she had the knife in her pos
session.
We are informed that she came to the
house Of "A gentleman ia this city some DAYS
ago, and obtained work, and in the course
of a short time made know to some of the
females Of the family that she had been
seduced, and was then en- ciente by Rhodes.
The story Of her wrongs has enlisted the
sympathies of this family as well as many
others, and il 1t proves TO he true she will
be justified in the minds Of the community,
for executing the "higher law" and taking
that punishment into her own hands which
the law would not execute TO her satsiac-
ton.
The fact of her situation was not unknown
TO some of the officers of the city for she
had made it known to them several DAYS
since. She had ascertaned that Rhodes
was about TO ship on board a vessel for Eu-
rope or some distant port and the deep sense
OF injury she bad sustained, made her des-
perate and determined TO wreak vengeance
or the villain who had trifled with her.
Such is the story on her side, although
there are rumors of her being prostitute
before Rhodes became acquainted with her.

nit the relation of an ncident-many years
ago, during the session ofthe Circuit Court
in Lexington, KY, most fearfully ugly
man was seen daily. He was always on

McDonOugh, the Miser Millionaire.

A former acquaintance Of John McDo-
norgh, the Millionaire who died lately in
New Orleans, furnishes the Newark Ad-
vertiSer with the following "reminiscences of
him:
He resided, for many years Of the latter
part of his life, in A'giers, Il village on the
opposite side of ,he Mississippi, to New Or
leans, where he cultivated and maintained
the strictest habits ofindustry and economy.
His custom was to visit the city dnily, and
to avoid the expense of the ferry boat, The
usual mode OF crossing, he kept q small
skiff, in which he made his house servants
row him over. The foundation of his for
tune was laid by the transfer of Louisiana
to The United States, when a large tract
where New Orleans is now located was
acquired by him. The rise in value, ofthis
would of ITSELF have constituted at this day
large fortune. The income of his pos
sessions he studOusly, and with much good
judgement, invested in improved property
IN the city, and so particular was he in the
collection OF rents, that he made out with
the most perfect exactnesss, himself, every
bill; and though he had collector employ
ed, he would never suffer him 10 append
his name to a receipt. He was never known
to have a friend call upon him except on
business, which he would compel him to
despatch with all convenient speed, lest bis
time should be occupied with something
which would not result in his pecuniary al
vantage.
The old gentleman whom he employed
10 collect his rents, &c., was not even al
lowed to have his brother call on him, lest,
as McDonough alleged, it would cost him
an extra meal. His apparel, when in the
city, was always neat and clean, bat bore
the uninistakeable evidence of being very
ancient. So particular was he TO save his
clothes from the usual wear, that he has been
known frequently, to take off his linen on
his return from the city, and replace il with
that which was Of less value. The um-
brella which be invariably carried with him
was said to have been found hy him during
his services in Gen. Jacksni's camtaign
against the Indian tribes. When he but ON
new coat, it was noticed and made the
subject OF familiar conversation among bust
ness men throughout the city, as matter of
establishment.
A few years ago, nephew visited him,
and was told he need not repeat his visits,
as II was expensive, anil he subsequently
died in the Charity Hospital, his uncle cpn-
tribu,ing nothing towards his funeral ex-
penses. On one OCCASION, he applied TO
the Legislature for the passage of an act
appointing himself executor to bis own es-
tate, by which be intended 10 save the usu-
al fee of two and half per cent TO the Pro-
bate Court. In answer to his petition. the
Legislature replied, thar il he would make
affidavit that he was dead, they Yould ACT
fyoral'y upon his petition.
