EFriend Van Horn, Of the

home and wrote as follows:
"GALIaPoEs.-We made
short visit TO the "ciiy OF French

gratified Herewith, for various rea-
sons unnecessary to mention in this
public manner. The town seems TO
be waking up from a state OF Rip
Van Winkleism, INDUCED in for a
great many years. The site is to our
mind, the most beautiful on the Ohio
river. 1t is a vast plain, on what
we river denizens call the "second

Some astounding developments
have been made in Boston, relative
to the recent disappearance Of a
Young girl, the daughter Of highly
respecia b le Abolitionist name d
Brown. 1t appears that her father
had expressed himself indifferent as
to whether his daughter married a
white man or a negro. She took
him at his word, and a few days
since eloped with black man, mar
rled him, and 10 his company went
to the different dens in Ann street,
in one OF which she was discovered
by an officer, and carried TO her faith
or. She is now in the Lunaic Asy-
lum. The affair has been hushed up,
on account of the respeciability Of

THE GOVERNMENT JEwELs.-ln
the Court Of Sessions, at New York,
the District Attorney moved the
court that Henry B. Jones be dis
charged from the indictment char
ging him with receiving stolen goods
scienter. This is the great govern
ment Jewels or patent-office robbery
case, and the New York Herald says:
"The goods were received by Jones
in lS48, which time gold snuff box,
a necklace Of pearls, several large
pearls seperate from the necklace, a
jar OF the otter Of roses, gold sword
scaboard, and a number OF gold and
silver medals were stolen from the
Patent Office al Washington. A
portion OF this property was subse-
quentIy found in the possession OF
Jones. A man named Jacob Shus-
ter was arrested, tried, and convic-
ted Of stealing the property, and on
his trial Jones was used as witness
for the people, and the faith Of the
authorities was pledged that, If he
testified truthfully and fully he
would not be prosecuted farther

commissioner OF patents, as to that
gentleman and Mr.. Kew, the then

West CoIumhIa salt works.

The Meigs County Telegraph con-
tains an article relative to these
works. The works are situated at
West Columbia short distance below
Pomeroy on the Virginia side. The
work was commenced about one year
ago. There is but one furnace, sup
piled with water from two mills.
which turns out about 70 bushels ol
salt per day. "The strength of the
water (says the article) being respec.
lively l04 and 10 per cent.-(Som 6
tot being the average, we believe, o.
the water on Kanawha)," Two
more mills will be in operation in
about FIVE weeks. The first shipment
300 barrels, was made on the 26tf
ult. The West Columbia people
claim that it is superior to the best
Kanawha salt. The Kanawha Re.
publican says it is superior TO some
but inferior to the best manufactured
there.
The Kanawha Republican says:
1--WE understand the only doubt o
the permanent success of this new
establishment arises from the pre-
sence of gas in the wells. The un
certainty of that kind Of salt pro
perty has been well tested in oul
Kanawha Salines."
