QuIrE RoMANrIc.-Upon the conclusion OF
a marriage ceremony in Danbury, CT, the ven-
cradle Justice invoked the protection Of Divine
Providence over the newly married pair, in the
following strain of heartfelt eloquence
May the choicest of heavens blessings rest
upon you, and every moral and social virtue
unite you more andmore May that Almighty
Being, whose ways are not as our ways, and
whose thoughts are not as our thoughts-who
rules in the armies of Heaven-who rides up
on the wings of the wind-whose hand is upon
the sea, and whose foot is upon the dry land
so order, direct and govern you IN all your
consultations, that when you are called nence
to be no more, you may be waited through this
trackless ether into the blissful mansions OF fn-
turity, and there be permitted front seat, and
feast upon nectar and ambrosla, the food OF
Heaven. Such is the wish Of your humble
servant-Amen."

ed from aloft, which was followed by tearing
and crashing that started the captain to his
feet.
The maintopsail has gone! he exclaim-
ed, and Immediately he sprang upon the
deck.
Again the ship was put before the gale, and
for several moments Capt. Marshall was unde-
cided what to do. While in this quandary he
felt hand laid on his shoulder, and turning,
he beheld his wife. She had a sou'-wester
on her head, and pea jacket buttoned closely
about her.
What is the matter Jamesl' she said.
Her husband explained his perplexity.
A strange look of fearlessness and confidence
rested upon that fair woman's face, and look
ing for moment at the compas, she said: =
We head due northwest. Station trusty
lookout in the fore-top, and let the ship stand
onp
Capt Marshall felt at that moment as though
an angel had been sent to pilot him TO haven
of rest. Whence arose the feeling he knew
not, but instinctively he obeyed. Fearful and
loud roared the mighty storm, and on dashed
the riven ship, but all fearless and composed
stood the heroic woman upon the quarterback,
and the hardy seamen, as they gazed upon her
felt that what daunted not woman should not
daunt them.
Land, hor came from the foretop.
In three minutes more, as the ship rose upon
the bosom of giant sea, the land was made
out from the deck, bearing about two points on
the larboard bow. Emma canght sight of it,
and seizing glass, at the next swell, she dis
covered a lighthouse upon the summit. Then
she turned her glass over the starboard beam,
and in moment she exclaimed:
There are the Bantam Ledges. That land
on the larboard bow is Seguin, and beyond |
can see Cape Small Point. James, she con-
tinued, as she gazed into her husbands face
with look all made up of conscious power, If
you will drop your fore topsail, piH take yOu
into the hennebecn
For a moment Capt. Marshall hardly credit
ed the evidence of his own senses, but one look
into the calm, radiant face of his wife deter
mined him, and in five minutes the fore -topsail
was sheeted home.
Emma Marshall seized the spanker out-haul
and sprang upon the wheel-house, and calm as
the falling of the summers dew, fell her orders
to the men at the wheel. The island of Sc
guin was passed safely-the ship bowled fear
lessly BY the foam-dashed rocks, and ere long
her bows cleft the smooth waters of the noble
kennebec. All danger was passed. Though
the storm still ragged, yet the old Vincent rode
at anchor, and the bowling tempest could harm
her no more.
Emma Marshall descended from her station
and sought her cabin. Her rough habiliment
was thrown aside. and ere long she reappear-
ed in all the modesty and beauty of her native
grace. Capt. Marshall pressed her to his bo-
som, and at that moment the hardy seamen
waved their hats high above their uncovered
heads, while prolonged shout of joy aud graf
itude went forth from their relieved souls
They had been saved from the terrible Coast
Storm and from the bottom of their hearts they
confessed that Emma Marshall was WIFE
WORTH HAVING.

A FUGITIvE SLAVE FROM WESTERN PENNsYLvA-
MAY csterday, at nOon, George II. Reset, esq.
assistant United States marshal for the western
district Of Pennsylvania, reached this city in the
Reading cars, from Wilksbarre, having in custody
Jesse Whitman, fugitive slave, whom he arrested
at Wilkesbarre on Saturday last. Marshal Roec
was accompanied by Messrs. w. H. Beaumont, ia.
cob Cooper, and George Fell who assisted in
Whitman's capture.
Marshal Keyser having been telegraphed to meet
the parties at the depot, was promptly on the spo
with an efficient police force, and accompanied the
United States officers and their charge to the Bal
timore boat, on which they took passage for Mary
land at two o'clock. Whitman is a large, power
full negro, and fought desperately before surren.
derng himself.
The matter was managed go quietly. as far as
Philadelphia was concerned, that very few persons
heard OF either Of the arrival departure of the
fugitive. Some Of the colored portcrs, woodsawycrs
stevedores, and other employees along the wharves
INDUCED in threats, but they were overawed by the
presence of the officers of the law, and made nc
attempt at rescue. An effort was made to detain
the slave by writ Of habeas corpus, but the boat
showed of before it could be executed.

Letter from Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, june "a.
The Democratic Congressional Convention for
the Attn district, composed Of the first fifteen wards
of the city Of Baltimore. assembled at Democratic
Hall, South street, last night for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for the ensuing campaign.
Upon the first ballot Wm Pinkncy Whyte esq. re-
ceived hy-ons votes out Of seventy five cast, and
was declared duly nominated. The Wings are very
well pleased with the result, and quite confident
Of defeating Mr.. Whyte, provided suitable candi-
date IL presented their side. Although the dis
trict has since l645 always chosen Democrat, it
has always given Wing majority in sharply con
tested elections At the last Presidential contest
General Taylor received 6,240 votes, and General
Cass s.063 At the mayors election last fall, Mr.
Jerome, Wing, received 1861 votes, and Mr.. Tur
ner. Democrat, 6,727 Mr.. Whyte is opponent
not to be despised, as he is thoroughly versed in
the business of clcctoneering, but his nomination
is far from satisfactory to great number of infiu
entail men in his party, and. if the proper cxer-
tions are made. he will inevitably be defeated.
Al no time in the history Of the Wing party
have greater efforts been demanded than at pres
ent They have placed in power an Administra-
ton, which has not only fulfilled the most extrav.
agan wishes of its friends, but has, by its just and
patriotic course, extorted praise from it's most
virulent encmies. Such an Administration ia dc
serving Of countenance and support from the whole
people, and from the Union loving city of Balti
moro should, and think will, receive every en-
couragcment. 1t would indeed be mournful ex-
ample Of the "ingratitude of republics" if con-
stituency, protesting ardent attachment to their
country, should send as their representative man
pledged to oppose an Administration which has
done more than any other since the days of Wash
ipgton to perpetuate her institutions In saying
this do not speak in hyperbole. The history of
the past year and the testimony of men of all par
tics bear me out in the assertion.

CATAMouNT CHoKED TO DEATH by MAN. -
Quite thrilling incident occurred few weeks
ago some five miles above here, on the Mississippi
side of the river. Two men, NJ. and A., occupied
cabin, in close proximity to which they were en-
gagged in repairing levces, ditching, sc. Early
one morning, as M. emerged from the cabin door
to his surprise he discovered a very large cata-
mount crouched under the corner of It. Ii immc-
diately sprang upon him, biting hs leg and otler-
wise scratching him. lie alarmed A.. but ere he
could como to his assistance he had disengagcd
himself, and ran in the cabin, the animal following
him far the door. By this time A. had the
gun prepared, and aimed at him he caught his
eye. The gun snapped three times in consequence
OF dampness In the mean time M. scizsd a spade
to attack him, but A. caused him TO dcsist. as he
wished to shoot him. Becoming satisfied Of the in
utility of the gun, he turned to lay it the bed.
The moment he withdrew his gaze from the cata-
mount II leaped distance Of ten or twelve feet,
upon his left shoulder, and bit and scratched him
very considerably. Pcrreiving the danger Of his
friend, M. wished to kill the catamount with his
spade, but was persuaded by A. to dcsist After a
short struggle, A. succeeded in grasping tic ami
MAILS throat in his right hand, which caused il to
relax its hold. He then threw il upon the bed and
actually choked il 10 death. We are glad to learn
that the wounds Of the two individuals engaged in
this affair have not proved dangerous, and from
which they recovered in few days
