You've round my way

Ere JunC's sweet roses blow
Deaths lovely Angel leads me there
And il is sweet togo.

rRAoRpINARY.-Itw will be recollected
that two or three weeks since, says the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, we
gave an account of an outrage COM
mltted upon young lady on Pearl ST.,
in which she was knocked down, gagged,
robbed, her hands and feet tied, and
thus left. A part of the gang supposed
to be engaged in this transaction, were
arrested, and one Of them sufficiently
identified to hold him for trial.
On the morning of the 18th ult., this
same young lady was found by some
canal drivers in the Canal Slip attached
to the boat-yard of Messrs Van Slyke,
Allen & Co, with her hands and feet
tied, and gag in her mouth. When
found, she was nearly dead, her life
having been preserved by her floating
upon the shore, where she was enabled
to rest her head. She was taken from
her unpleasant situation and well pro-
vided for. Her story was that at about
Ii O'Clock in the night, she was seized
while in the back yard of her boarding
house, by some men, who, after gagging
and binding her, took her to the canal
and threw her in. She also stated that,
on the night of the 9Th instant, she was
seized, while in the hall of her board
ing house and served in a similar man.
ner, and carried to pond near the gas
works, where she was left, with large
stone placed upon her person, but that
this was not made public, in the hope that,
by keeping it private, the perpetrators
might be discovered. The whole trans
action is involved in considerable mys-
terry. 1t is one of the most daring out
RACES that we have ever heard of, and
how it could be so successfully executed,
in city so well provided with police and
watchmen as Buffalo, is more than we
can comprehend. 1t is equal to the Gel
ebrated Mary Rogers affair, which took
place in New York some years since.
DISTRESSING SUIcIpE.-An inquest
was held by the Coroner, yesterday
morning, at the house of Lewis Jones,
No. 8, Washington Avenue, in the dis
trict of the Northern Liberties, on the
body of Eliza Montz, "a years of age,

some kind Of poison. The jury, after
hearing the evidence of several wit
nesses, was unable to agree, and ad-
iourned over until this afternoon at 5
o'clock. This woman, we were in
formed, was married some years ago to
man named Montz, with whom she
lived in comparative happiness up to
the time Of their separation, which oc-
Cured about two months ago. At that
time the husband, without assigning any
reason, left his home and never was
heard of afterwards by his wife. The
separation caused the unfortunate fe-
male to become melancholy, and pro-
duced fits of alteration of mind. She
made application on Tuesday, at one
or two drug stores for arsenic, but was
refused, and then left those establish
ments for her home. In the evening
she returned, and shortly after was
taken with severe vomiting. She con-
tinued in this way until one o'clock,
when death ended her sufferings.-PhI.

TIE first Poetry ,criiten IN .2n,erica
The following facts were taken from the
archives of the Historical Society, Bos-
ton:-The first poetic efiusion ever pro-
duced on American soil, originated in a
circumstance which was handsomely ex-
planned by one of the full bloods Of the
JIbwa, or, as we call them, the Chippe-
was. All those who have witnessed the
performances of the Indians of the Far
West in our city ,muut recollect the era
die, and the mode in which the Indians
bring up their children. Soon after our
ioretathers landed at Plymouth, some of
the people went out into a field where
Indian womon were picking strawber-
ries, and observed several cradles hung
upon boughs of trees with the infants
fastened upon them-a novel and Curl
Gus sight TO any European. A gentle
breeze sprang up and waved the cradle
to and fro. A young man, one of the
party, peeled off piece of bark and
wrote the following which has been re-
peated thousand Of times by thousands of
American matrons, very few of whom
ever knew or cared for its origin

waters Of the Connecticut were star

TERRIBLE CArAsrRoPHE.-The Rich
mond Wing gives the following details
of a shocking event which took place
near the Blue Ridge Tunnel, near Al
bemarle, few days since. A little
boy of ten or twelve years Of age, the
son of Mr.. James H. Bagley, being at
play with negro boy Of the same age,
proposed to show him how the Irishmen
at work on the tunnel blew rock. He
accordingly laid train from the powder
stored away in building used for that
purpose, and set fire to it. A tremen-
dous explosion ensued, entirely destroy
;sg the house, killing the white boy in
stantly, and injuring the black boy so
severely that he died in a few hours.

BRUTAL AssAULT.-In Philadelphia,
Thursday night last, about ii O'Clock,
young Englishman named Richard
Foote made an attack upon Mrs. Ann
Walker, at her residence, 326 South
Fifth street He made tie deadly as
sault upon her with a knife, inflicting
eight most shocking wounds upon her
arm, breast, and back. She is in very
critical situation. Foote has been COM
mitted to prison. The cause of the
murderous attack is briefly as follows:
Foote was a lover of Mrs. Walker
when she was unmarried He recently
left the city to work in an iron furnace.
During his absence, she married Wal
ker. This was about three weeks since.
Foote returned to the city some days
since, became infuriated with jealousy
on learning of her marriage, and vowed
revenge. Last night, according to de-
termination, he entered her dwelling
and attacked her, as above described.
1t is extremely doubtful whether she will
recover.-Boston Times.

HoRRlp MURDER AND SUICIDE, AT
NASHUA, N. H.-Yesterday morning,
in Nashua, {according to the "Oasis, ")
Mr.. Hart Allen, murdered his own child,
little girl two years old, and then put
an end to his own existence. Mrs. AL
len went to the bed occupied by her
husband and child, early in the morning,
as usual, and turning down the sheet,
found her innocent little daughter alone,
strangled to death by small cord noosed
tightly at her neck. Alarm was imme-
diately given, and search made for the
inhuman father. He was soon found in
the privy, dead, having hung himself
with piece from the same cord with
which he strangled his child. Allen
was about SO years Of age, had had the
misfortune to lose one of his legs, and
was led to commit the double crime of
murder and suicide by the demon in
temperance.

such circumstances many men would
have faltered. But General Cass was
above deception or equivocation. He
did not attempt to hide his principles
from his fellow citizens Of the north or
the south, although he had a recent ex-
ample before him, where such duplicity
in high places had been crowned with
success. But General Cass preferred
defeat to dishonesty. He plainly set
forth what course he would pursue, and
declared to his constituents that he would
resign his seat in the Senate, and retire
to private life, before he would deviate
in the least from what he believed to be
his duty. Such conduct, in such crisis
was worthy Of an American statesman.
1t was above allGreek or Roman fame.
The conduct of Lewis Cass at this crit
ical time, probably saved the country
from convulsions. Encouraged by his
example, other Senators come forward,
and assisted him in the good work which
he had so magnanimously commenced, |,
Thousands believed that General Cass
would do what he has done therefore,
his conduct has not excited so much en-
thusiastic praise as it deserved. They
did not believe that Clay or Webster
would dare to follow where he led: con-
sequently their conduct has created the
most astonishment. But it should never
be forgotten that Lewis Cass was the
first man at the north to throw himself
into the breach. BY doing so he risked
more than any other man, because ne
had more to lose. We know Of no man
in our country who has more reason to
regard his past course with honest pride
and self-complacency than Lewis Cass.
He has never sacrificed principle to ex-
pediency; and whether he is sustained
or condemned by his countrymen, he will
always have the satisfaction Of knowing
that he has done his duty. Savannah
