The Bourbon Story.

The Story in relation to the Rev. E..
Williams is nearly exploded The Buff
lalo Commercial devotes long article to
the subject in which he discusses the claims
of the Reverued gentleman to the title of
Dauphin of France, and arrives at the con-
clusion that the entire affair is a gross
bat ingenious fabrication. 1t is also said
that Mr.. Putnam has received from the
Prince de Joinville, reply to the roman
tic account recently published which is
expected to appear in the April number
Of Putnam's S Monthly. The Prince meets
every point with reference to Eleazer's
narrative, with which he was concerned,
and gives his own version of what passed
between them. The New York Tribune
saws that Mr. Williams is not, and never
was the Dauphin. A lecture Vas recent
IL delivered in Boston by Dr. Lathrop in
the course Of which lie stated that Mr..
Williams visited that city about twelve
years ago, when his entire property was
under bonds for about $500. He had
no means of efecting release, but the
facts were stated 10 the late Amos Law
renee. and he Immediately gave cheque
for the whole amount.-F}liSa. Inquire.

Oldest were fined S25 each, and the young

too, for that matter-who make prac-
tice of laughing in meeting, to the great
annoyance of the orderly and devout,
were legally dealt with, We think it would
improve their manners, and render hous-
es of devotion what they should be. Pla-
ces of worship should not be desecrated
by idle tatling and mischievous mirth.-
The law provides fully for their protection,
and members of churches should not hes
itate to avail themselves of their legal
rights whenever the rules of order and
good breeding are violated.

At Oldtown, Me-, on Monday evening,
while party were dancing at Grey's tav-
erD, lady discharged both barrels Of a
double -barreled pistol at man named
VIM. Bowman, of Upper Saltwater. One
of the balls entered Bowman's shoulder
and the young lady with whom he was
dancing had her face burned by the pow
der. The lady who fred the shots went
home without being arrested. Public
sympathy is strongly in her favor, as Bow
man had inflicted upon her an irrepara-
bic wrong. and then refused marriage.
Since the above was in type we learn
further from the Bangor Mercury that
the injured one was arrested on Tuesday,
and carried before Justice Afford, at
Oldtown. At the hour appointed for the
investigation, the complainant and accused
confronted each other, but no witnesses
appeared. The Justice there upon dis
charged her. She said she intended to
shoot complainant; that the people were
on her side, and she thought she should not
let him rUn-as he deserved death for his
treatment of her. She is but sixteen years
old and has an eye denoting great firm
ness of purpose. 1t is said that at the
time Bowman was shot, he had pistol
upon his person, which it is supposed he
intended to defend himself with, she hav-
ing threatened him. The wound received
will lame him for life, it lis thought. Some
wag says that her discharge will prove a
dangerous precedent, which if acted upon,
Oldtown and Upper Saltwater may be-
come depopulated.

SnOW a hundred feet deep!

The St. Louis Intelligencer publishes
letter from an over land emigrant to
California, which gives fearful account
of tremendous snow storm in the noun
tains near Carson valley. On what is
called the Second Summit, the writer
says, he caught hold of the tops of pine
trees, and was confident they were one
hnaiored .teet IN hight. This is an item
that should have bearing upon the ques-

Bargain nnd sale.

An affair, in which business, court
ship and matrimony were considerably
mixed up and conglomerated, came OFT
in Chautauque County, not long since
A young man of respectable connec-
tions,' though as the sequel proves not
very scrupulous in honesty himself,
had been in the habit Of sitting up
with two young ladies. both living IN the
same neighborhood alternating be-
tween them-one Sunday with Lydia
and the next with Marinda. In the due
course of courtship-so naturally does
the stream of love flow towards the
great gulf of matrimony-he found
himself positively engaged to both, and
with one of them appointed a day ior
the consummation of their union. The
marriage was to be kept profound
secret until the knot was actually tied,
but it seems that through the leaking oi

the projected wedding reached the ears
of the rival candidate for matrimony.

the result. The two ladies disputed
titles, each prepared to prove bona

Ex,rnvnsnnce of ,he Age.

The boldest dash yet made in this
dashing age, is the Vanderbilt excursion
to Europe in his steam yacht, with the
family of the owner and party of
relatives and friends, numbering about
forty. We extract the following from a
New York paper:
''Mr. Vanderbilt proposes to proceed
with his party-direct to Southamp-
ton, where he intends to remain for a
few days, before proceeding to northern
Europe, via the North Sea, touching,
intermediately at the Hague; then,
steaming up the Baltic to Copenhagen
and Stockholm, ending his voyage in
that direction, through the Gulf Of
Finland, at st. Petersburg.
Leaving the north, the party will pro-
ceed directly to Gibraltar, and passing
up the Mediterranean enjoy the salubri-
ties of the most delightful climate under
heaven; touching at all points of In
terest, now tasting the fare of Italy,
and then experiencing perhaps the hos
pitality of the Sublime Porte, at Con-
stantinople. Sailing up among the
Greek Arehipelagoes, opportunity viii
be afforded for view of places long
familiar in song and story, about which
romances and history have wrought
world of interest. Completing theil
view in this direction, they will return
touching at Southampton previous t
coming home.
The voyage is admirably received
and we can imagine the delight it VII
afford the excursion party, and the as
tonishment it will give those whose idea
of our country are restricted to trad

had an opportunity for seeing Jonatha

The nr.. Court in ohio.

The first term of Court ever held
northwest of the Ohio river, under the
form of our civil jurisprudence, was
opened at Campus Martius, (now Ma
rietta, J September Cd, 1888. We have
before US a graphic and interesting
description of the whole affair taken
from an old paper, but which, we pre-
sumo, is substantially correct.
The writer remarks that it will be re-
membered that on the preceding 9th
of April, Gen. Rufus Putnam, with Al
men. had landed and commenced the
first settlement in what is now the State
of Ohio. Gen. Harmar, with his regu-
lars, occupied Fort Harmar. Gov. St.
Clair, and also Gen. Samuel Holden
Parsons and Gen. James Mitchell Var
mum, Judge of the Supreme Court,
arrived in July. The Governor and
Judges had been employed from their
arrival in examining and adopting such
of the statutes Of the States, as in their
opinion would be appropriated to the
situation of this new colony. The
Governor had made appointments of
civil officers for the administration of
Justice, and to carry into effect the laws
adopted. Some idea may be obtained
of the character of the early settlers OF
Ohio by describing the order with
which this important event, the estab-
lishment of civil authority and the laws,
was conducted. From a manuscript
written by an eye witness, now in my
possession, l have obtained the sub
stance of the following. The process
sion was formed at the Point (where
most of the settlers resided, in the
following order:-1st, The High Sher-
liff, with his drawn sword; Cd, the
Citizens; Sd, the Officers of the CARR
son at Fort Harmar; 4th, the Members
of the Bar; 5th, the Supreme Judges;
9th, the Governor and Clergyman; 7th,
the newly appointed Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas, Gen. Rufus
Putnam and Benjamin Upper.
They marched up path that had
been cut and cleared through the forest
to Campus Mantius Hall, (Stockade,

the Judges Putnam and Upper took
their seats. The clergyman, Rev. DIR
Cutler, then invoked the divine bless

BoYHoOD.
By CHARLES HAMMOND

How oft amid the sordid strife
Of worldly visions have turned
To memory's scenes Of early hfe,
And oermy joyous boyhood moorned;
How oft have wished mid care and pam
To be that joyous boy again.
To sleep beneath the slanting roof
And hear the pattering rain-drops taH,
Or listen to the lively proof
OF vagrants round my airy hall;
Yet rise at morn with wonted glees
To wade the brook or climb the tree
To Join the sturdy resper's train
What time the lark her matin sings
When mounting with impassioned strain,
She bathes in light her glittering wings,
And poised in air is scarcely seen
So high amid the dazzling sheen.
Twas mine to trap beside the stream,
Or angle meath the alder shade,
Totend the plough to drive the team,
Or seek the herd in distant grade,
Where oft from clustering thickets shril
Rang out the notes Of whippoorwill.
Those trembling notes, so long, so wild,
Were music to my boyish ear;
Thought backward fiies-and as child
Fen now methinks the sound hear;
While fancy spreads before mine eye
The dewy glade and moonlit sky.
The flowing herd now vending slow
Along the wood their homeward way;
The winding streams dark CLASSY flow,
The lilied vale, the woodland gay,
Still float in visions broad and bright,
AS on that balmy Summers night.
When standing on the distant hill,
With boy-born fancies wand'ring free,
Isaw no spectred form of i'll
Rise in the bright futurity,
But all. instead, was joyous clear,
Buoyant with hope, untouched with fear.
Oh. these were boyhood's cloudless hours,
And sweet on wings unsullied flew;
But pride soon dreamed Of loftier bowers,
And wealth her golden lustre threw
Der tempting scenes, as false as fair,
And bade my spirit seek her there.
And have sought her-not in vain,
might have piled her treasures high,
But thatI scorned her sordid reign,
And turned me from her soulless eye;
I could not delve her dirty mine,
And would not worship at her shrine.
Iwould not stop to fatter power,
For any vile and selfish end,
/ would not change with every hour
Nv faith, my feelings, or my friend;
And least of all would / entrust
Nv hopes to the accursed dust.
rrLo CD that reared the woodland heights
And spread the fOw'ry valleys wide,
And walked within my mind delights
That spurn the lures of human pride;
And, stern, forbade in accents known,
To worship aught beneath his throne.
