10Th ult, informing you Of the awful disease
that had broken out in Grand Canary, and doubt
not that you will all be anxious to hear about
it, Uuhappily, it continues to rage with undi-
minished violence; for, though the number of
deaths in the capital is considerably essened, it
is owing solely to the population being so much
thinned, while the disorder having spread to al
most all the other towns in the Island, is pro-
ducing degree of mortality unknown under
similar visitations in any other part of the globe
BY last accounts the deaths in Calder, place
with about $500 souls, range from 40 to go per
day, and this is but one example of what hap
pens in the rest. In numerous instances death
ensues within three hours from the first attack !;
if the patient survives the third day, there is a
hope of recovery. Many families have entirely
disappeared from the world and others have
been most fearfuly reduced. One of the high

of its members up to the 2lst ut., and we know
not what may have been the subsequent fate of

already been announced. The ceremony took
place in chapel which crowns a lofty emf

of the kind; Daily Wisconsin
"At nine o'clock we left the hotel, and took
our way up the stone steps leading to the chap
pe and there, amid the thrilling soemnities of
high mass, with assembled spectators standing
by, those two high-hearted exes were married.
The pews and aises were thronged. On one
hand, close by the altar, with eyes brilliant and
clear as an eagles stood the bridegroom, in
suit of black, which impaired to his person that
quiet, gentemanly air least calculated to attract
observation. He presented, in his stately fig
ure and noble features, almost every external
perfection of mature manhood indeed his whole
tone, in look and demeanor, was that of moral
and intellectual elevation.

covered with crimson damask they knelt down.
How beautiful and brde-like she looked in her
dress of or, am-colored satin, as it swept the
dark floor like a snow-drift crusted with ice.
A cloud Of transparent lace fell around her,
shedding softness over the clear, dark COM
plexion of her cline. There was no revealing
blush upon her cheek; her feelings were all to
strong and deep for that; but her dark eyes
were yelled beneath the shrouding lashes. 1t
is indeed impossible to conceive of a being more
lovely, she appeared in the modest diffidence of
her sex, on the most important and conspicu-
Gus occasion of woman's life, and yet withal,
so far from being, as many enormously imagine,
masculine or unwomanly trait, is, on the con-
trary, the browning mark of a character essen
TALLY femenine.
"a gush of music burst through the build
ing, rolling to the roof and through the windows
till it came like reverbrating melody around the
happy pair, while they knelt with linked hands
upon the lower step of the altar. A few muir

veil like melody in the summer cloud-a bene-
diction-and the united exiles stood up. For
the first time the bride raised her eyes, and the
color now glowed through her veil as if a rose
had been hidden in its folds, while happy smile
broke over her face as she turned calmly to re-
ceve the congratulations Of those who crowded
around her.
"Their lives have been of extraordinary vicis-
itudes. Both were exiles from their native coun-
try by the tyranny of its oppression, he, in the
earlier era of mature manhood, and she in the
flush Of early womanhood. But the measure
of her influence is now filled by the strong af-
lection of one of the bravest patriots that ever
unsheathed his sword in the cause of bleeding
Poland, and she may well dream of enduring
happiness"

Henry M. Paine, the gas man, in a commune
cation in the Worcester Spy, says that about
six weeks ago, the Patent Office in Washington
rejected his application for a patent, on the
ground Of its being identified with that of
Mansfeld's, patented in England, in lS4S."--
Upon a rehearing of the case, however, the ex-
aminer admitted that he did not read all Mr.
Panes specifications, and that if he had, diff
ferent esult would have followed. Mr.. Paine
adds" All the objections of the Patent Office
are now overruled, and my patent will issue in
in its proper order and time" He says, further
that he is ready to contract (where he has juris-
diction) to light hotels, factories or private
dwellings, with superior light for half the
price of any other artificial light known. The
invention referred to, for which he is to receive
a patent, is not for making water gas, but for
rendering the atmosphere infammable. We
hope some of those interested in it will come to
Providence, and give us "a touch OF its quail
ity" and cheapness Providence Post

The LAKE SHORE RAnRoAD-The Commits
sioners appointed by the State from Waukegan,
have called meeting to be held at the Court
House in that place, or the 4th Of September,
to open the books of the Chicago & Milwaukee
Railroad Co. The Chronicle says
"This matter, which has in part remained in
Statu quo since the adjournment of the Legisa-
ture, we are happy to find is revived again; and
if there is an suspicious moment TO give an i'm
petus thereto, it is now from the fact that an
other proect-namely, the projected road from
GAINESVILLE, running through Woodstock, to in
tersect the Galena g. Chicago Roads agitat-
ed to degree that admonishes our Commits
sioners of the necessity of bestirring themselves
thus early to bring the claims of an inland to
the lake route in proper form, before the minds
of the capitalists and people. Now, if there is
one single argument more weighty than any 9TH
er in favor of the lake route it is this: that in
the suspense under which the lake citizens
have patiently waited for harbor improvements
if they would now willingly forego advanta-
ges offered in lieu of that great governmental
buncome section,namely: River and Harbor i'm
provements-one hundred, or perhaps many less
years hence would teach us that we were not
wise in time"
We trust that the enterprise will be pushed
through without delay.

the cause, we were informed that it was mass
convention of the great Wing party in Ottawa
County Weconcuded it would be good time
to ascertain how much strength we would have
to combat, hereafter, about our home diggings
At the proper time, we struck an attitude, by Ia
king position where we could count, with un-
erring certainty the marshaled hosts of Wing
gerry. We counted, and kept counting, until
we got up to five, that went into convention.
The whole of this number, were comfortably
provided with seats, in the spacious courtroom.
We had an idea, that they were too much crowd
ed to admit even our shad-like form-again we
supposed that the Eagles child, (TURNER,)
would be among them taking notes; but to
our great disappointment, he did not come He
will probably excuse his non-attendance, on ac-
count of not being physically able to breathe
the bad air of a crowd. The whole num-
Der of five filed past us and went into conven-
ton-only four came out; the fifth one, we have
not yet seen, but presume that he must be Ell
Their in the courtroom, writing out book of
the proceedings of the convention, or else he
must have been appointed a delegate to the
Wing State convention, and started on the great
mission at once by crawling out of the back
window OF the courtroom, from thence, through
the buryin g-ground to the woods, on his way to
the place of holding the State convention
We understand they had no other information
of the time of holding the State convention,
than that il was to be held some time after the To-
cofoco convention is to be held; consequently,
this poor Wing may be wandering about for
the next month. We hope the people meeting
our friend, will exhibit enough of the fraternal
feelings common among mankind, to treat him
kindly, for the reason that he, poor fellow is
partially deranged-caused by apoltical mania
potu. All that went into convention looked
very wise, and as though a good appointment
would be acceptable, knowing that they could
gain nothing by an election.
