that she saw Harris making at the deceased to

BALTIMORE June q.
It's matter ofsregret that SO few of our mer-
chants and business men went as delegates to the
Memphis Convention. Not more than ten have
taken their departure for that important assem-
blage. Those who did go, however, are sterling
enterprising gentlemen, and they have gone well
posted and prepared to urge important measures in
which our city in common with the west, south,
and south west have an abiding interest. The
great enterprise of the Baltimore and Liverpool
steamers, will be urged firmly and have no doubt
efectually. Also the Ship Canal, of no less i'm
portance, to unite the waters of the chesapeake
and Delaware. This project meets with desired
favor and will be of vast interest.
Tile spirit of goaheaditiveness has taken hold OF
our people in earnest. They are all alive to the
great subject of commerce which has received SO
emphstic an impetus by the opening of the Balti-
mere and Ohio Railroad to your city and to the
waters of your noble rive. w.

VA terrible accident occurred in Chicago on
last Friday, from mad dog. He bit a little girl,
the only person he succeeded in catching. The
Tribune says: ''By this time a man in a buggy,
with double bareled gun in hand. was added to
the number of pursueB; but before the enemy
could be reached, he seized little girl about two
years of age, the daught-r of Mr.. VIM. Daniel,
and thurst his tusks into her head, one passing in
JUS over the eye. He was then wounded, and f.
nally disposed of with brickbats. A physician
was quickly called to the unfortunate little girl,
ard lunar caustic applied to the wounds. The
distress of the parents but poorly be imagined
and certainly not described. The scene was
most psinful one. Must we wait until we shall
have to record a similar accident here before any
means are taken for the prevention of such Ter.

Melancholy Events.

On Saturday last, large number of our fellow

was fully executed, and as lamentable conse.

COLUMBUS AND PARkERsBuRo RALRoAD.-The
Railroad Record says amid the numerous projected
roads, and their name is legion, we note an effort
of the city of Columbus to connect herself with
the Ohio river at Parkersburg, to open through
line to Baltimore. The citizens of the Hooking
Valley are stirring in the matter also. A meeting
was held at Nelsonvile on the Doth ult., to make
the preliminary arrangements for the organization
of the company. The road is designed to pass
from Columbus through Lancaster and Logan, to
some point on the Hillsboro' and Psrkersburg road
being in length some 20 miles.

lated from confidential letter received from Par

occurrence is not alluded TO in the French Jour-

due allowance for possible exaggeraton, though
the source of information is too reliable to need
such allowances: 7ia .es+4easai .t
fought to tell you that the general, marshal OF
France, st. Arnaud, Minister of War, was arrest
ed last evening by order the Emperor for the fol-
lowing reasons. Gen. Cornemeuse, aide camp
of the Emperor, found himself the cabinet of his
Majesty with GeneralSt. Arnaud. A sum of four
hundred thousand francs was there, and the En-
peror entering his cabinet, asked for this money,
which he destined for the marriage portion of the
daughter OF General st. Arnaud. s.
General Cornemeuse searched everywhere, but
was unable to find more than two hundred thou
sand francs, whereupon he said to General st. Ar
maud, 'You and only have been here, and it is
only yourself who could have taken it, Finding
that he could not deny the charge, st. Arnaud in
stantly drew his sword end killed General Corne-
meuse; the latter having merely the time 10 make
a engagement, piercing the arm of st. Arnaud.-
This scene passed under the eyes of the Emperor,
and SO suddenly; that he had no time to prevent
the two blows. The matter is hused up but YOU
may rely upon the facts, as have them from
source beyond all doubt. st. Arnaud, you are
aware, is the General tho played SO prominent
part in the coup d. etat of December-Com. Id
