BROKE DowN.-The Express train met
with quite an accident last night on the
Ohio Dc Indiana railroad. The cars run
on the ties for some distance, breaking up
some of the wheels and smashing things
on every side. fortunately, only one of
the breaksmen was injured. The acci-
dent occurred between this pplsce and Bu-
cyrus. The passengers were brought in
to town in the baggage car, all safe. We
have not learned the particulars or the
amount of damage done. u.s.

NEW ORGAN1zATIoN.--The Wings are
very anxious for a new organization now,
their old measures can't 60 through with
out some new name or under some new
organization. 1t is no use, the thing won't
go down. The people are wide awake for
all such organizations, and Whiggery will
be the same by any other name and under
any other organization.

ZY- This morning the sun came out
warm, with fair prospect of hot day,
but about ten o'clock a change came over
the land-the skies clouded, the air turn
ed cold and the rain began falling, giving
avariety of weather in few short hours.
What afternoon will bring forth is
yet to be determined.

A SingularCaSe.

The BraHleboro' Eagle has an account Of
an interesting criminal case which has just
been settled in Orleans county, Vt. Seven
or eight years since, woman named Han
nah Parker was arrested, tried and found
guilty of the murder Of her infant. The
proof of her guilt was conclusive, but upon
her trial some exceptions were reserved
for the consideration of the Supreme Court
and she was remanded to Jail to await
their action. In the Supreme Court the
case was continued from term to term for
six or seven years, she in the meanwhile
making the Jail her head quarters, but
having very wide range ofjail yard. The
Supreme Court at the last session reversed
the former judgement, and she was again
brought up for trial. The same witnesses
were called at this trial as at the former,
but, singular to relate, heJacts had faded
entirely from their memories. Even the wit
ness to whom her confession was made,
was unable to testify positively that she ad
mitted her guilt. Of course ga reasona-
BILE doubt was raised in the minds of the
jury, and she was acquitted.

Murder Will Ont

The Buffalo Democracy of Saturday
gives the particulars of a murder which
has recently come to light, and which was
perpetrated in December last, upon Mr.
Thomas Eastabrook, of Reading, Vt,
formerly of Erie county, New York. Mr.
Eastobrook was on his way to Michigan,
to marry lady ofthat State, and reached
q tavern within two and half miles of the
residence of his betrothed. This was the
last that was heard of him, until few
weeks ago, when man who was arrested
for larceny in the county where Mr. E.
disappeared, confessed that he was one of
the murderers, and detailed the circum-
stances. It seems that two men met Mr..
E. at the tavern in question, and engaged
to take him to his destination; that on the
way they encountered three other men,
the prisoner being one, with wagon and
two horses. The latter party stated that
they were going to the same place with
the others, and invited them to get in and
ride, which they did They soon stopped
the vehicle, knocked Eastabrook down,
stabbed him to the heart, divided his
money, some eight hundred dollars,
among them, divided also his clothes, and
buried the body under stump. The
body was found as described. Two others
of the murdercrs have been arrested. It
appears the five ruffians had learned that
Mr.. Eastabrook had purchased place in
the neighborhood, and would have money
with him, and accordingly deliberately
planed this revolving crime, TO get pos
session of the funds.

A FEMALE SA1LoR.-The Philadelphia
Inquirer says that female sailor was
lately discovered in that city, passing un-

was dressed in black pantaloons, dark
vest, linen coat, glazed cap, red neck
handkerchief, and blue sailor shirt. She
stated that she was seventeen years of
age, English by birth, and had been to

sex being suspected. At present she as

MARRYING For LovE.-The Staunton
Vindicator States that pair of determin-
ed lovers, of Augusta county, left home
few days ago, to have their dives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honnor" united
in the "holy bands" Poorin everything
but love- and their paps and mammas op-
posed their union, they started for ''free
State" and walked arm-in-arm from
Staunton to Winchester, a distance of
ninety y-six miles. Here they took the rail-
road cars for Harpers Ferry, distance of
twenty two miles to the end of their Glove
ly" journey. The remainder of the sto-
ry we give in the words of the Vindicator:
"When they landed at their destination,
the doating groom, after shown his arms
up to his elbows in his breeches pocket,
found he hadn't the dimes to pay the pip
err In this dilemma, like cool spring
in parching desert, there appeared
some generous philanthropic men to res
cue the loving twain from that brink of
woe on which they were verging. A 'po-
ny purse was got up, sufficient to do the
deed, and strike a bow of promise athwart
the sould were then rested cloud of des-
pair. The knot was tied, the parsin paid,
and the happy pair, with joy and glad
ness radiating their countenances, COM
menced afoot their return journey. Tru-
ly, this was marrying for love-"

Snow Forty Feet Deep on the White
Mountains.

Snow Forty Feet Deep ON the White
Mountains.
While we are sweltering here beneath
the burning rays Of the sun, with the
thermometer at nearly 100 degrees in the
shade, it is refreshing and cooling to read,
even, what is told in the following letter
in the Boston Transcript from the White
Mountains, in New Hampshire, under the
date of the 18th ult. -..ff..sI,
II commence penciling this communi7
cation standing upon snow bank forty
feet thick, at the head of Tuckerman's
ravine, and at the base of an amphithe-'
atre of nearly perpendicular rocks over
eleven hundred feet high !! This famous
ravine is situated about $500 feet in q
direct line S. E. from Mount Washing
ton. 1t receives the snow blown from the
top of Mount Washington by the norther-
" winds in the winter, and the accumula-
ton during such winter as the last must
be several hundred feet in depth. The
brook in the ravine wears lis way under
the snow, and as the warm weather
comes the arch is gradually enlarged, SO
that by the middle of July it becomes a
great curiosity. eFa
"Our party took their dinner under the
snow arch, and then proceeded to take an
accurate measurement Of the depth of
snow, the width of the arch, and its hight
from the stream. The measures were
taken by Mr.. Cavis, who is the engineer
of the White Mountain Carriage Road,
and may be relied upon for their accura-
cy. The snow arch, through which q
large stream of water is pouring over the
rocks, is 13O feet in length, "a feet in
width, and varies from to 40 feetin hight.
Outside, we find the whole body Of snow
to extend a distance Of 266 feet, with an
averange of 40 feet, and varying from
to 40 feet thick. Our party estimated the
quantity of snow to be not less than a
thousand tons at the head Of the ravine.
The two last leaps Of the cascade before
the stream enters the arch, are over 100
feet in hight. ''''s'
cit is singular that the body of snow
lies exposed to the direct rays Of the sun
on the soath side of the mountain, and is
only in the shadow of the same after 8
o'clock, P. M 1t would not seem possi-
Bile that all the snow in the rayine would
melt during the next six weeks"

Elopement aud Confusion.

A correspondent of New York paper
gives the following account of an elope-
ment from Philadelphia. He says, the
poor fellows Speaking of the husband
has been almost frantic. Poor fool, ought
to be rejoiced at getting rid of such a
piece of furniture. Here is the extract
ttA very distressing case Of elopement
has within the past week, taken place in
our city. The guilty parties are dra-
matte performer-himself married man
and father of highly respectable family
who had herself been married about three
months. She mysteriously disappeared
one day during the absence of her hus-
band, with her trunk. She was traced to
the Arch Street Theatre, where her gull
ty partner in her fight was performing,
and he also having disappeared, the infer
ence is that they went off together. The
unhappy husband has been almost fran
tic since the occurrence. The lady is
quite youthful, and afew years since was
on the eve Of running off with the pres
ent partner of her flight, but was prevent
ed by the interference of her father.

BRAVE G1RL.-The Schohaire Republi-
can relates the following incident of the
late fire which destroyed the Richmond
vile Seminary:
"There are many interesting incident
which occurred during the fire, among
which we reccollect the hearing the fol-
lowing: A young girl aged Is years,
daughter of Mr.. Henry Warner, living
near the Seminary, was at the school
when the alarm of fire was given. Know
ing her parents to be absent, she immedi
ately ran home, and from the excessive
excitement, tainted when she reached the
house. She soon rallied, however, and
slipping off her shoes and stockings, gain
ed access to the roof Of the house, when
she directed her little brother to pass up
water. Here amid the smoke and cInders
which were constantly falling, she contin-
ued to fight the fire, passing from one part
of the roof to another, when stout-heart-
ed men would shrink to venture, until The
danger was over, and her fathers build
ing saved from the flames. Such a girl
is worthy of good husband, if she lives
to get married, and her good sense will
undoubtedly lead herto make proper Sc :
lection. Mr.. w. may well be proud of
such daughter" m

Thrilling Incident.

On Saturday, the 9th ult., as the
storm that had - brewing some hours
was about breaking out. little boy of
seven years of age, son of Mr.. A. H.
Veise, of Detroit, who is atpresentresid-
ing at Crosse Isle, took refuge under the
deck of sail-boat, belonging to Mr. ?.
w. Backus, lying at the dock, with the
sails hoisted. In moment after, the
squall struck her, when she broke from
her moorings and started towards the
open lake. When first seen She was
nearly half way across the river, and the
little fellow had crswled from his placeIof
shelter and taken his place at the helm,
endeavoring to direct his course towards
the shore Soon the rain came down in
torrents, and the wind had increased to
perfect hurriance, and the banks of the
river were lined with wailing women and
children, and strong men who were pow
erless lockers ON. Not boat was imnae-
diately within reach. The sail-boat had
had almost reached Stony Island, and the
hearts of all the lookers-on were for a
moment relieved, expecting to see her go
ashore, when all at once she broached to,
and came abruptly round again, heading
for Crosse ISLE
AS the boom settled around, the anx-
ious spectators held there breath; for
moment the head of the pilot disappear
ed, only again to reappear, holding man
fully to the helm. Directly another and
fercer squall struck the sail; the boat was
thrown upon her beam-ends, and the saiT
and boom in the water, and cries of che
is lost che is gone, were heard on all
sides. Still the gallant bark held her way;
again she went up and took her course to-
ward Maiden, and again her pilot was
seen standingsat her helm. By this time
a boat had been manned and put off to
the rescue, but before getting any distance
into the river the sail boat took another
turn, heading again toward home She
ran straight to the middle of the river,
when Mr.. F. w. Backus and H.. Gray,
Esq, ran down to the bank and made
signs to the boy to keep the helm up or
down, as the nleandering of the boat re-
quired. He obeyed the signs, like an old
salt, and in few minutes the boat was
run into shallow water, when the gentle
men named above were enabled to wade
on board, and in little time the boy was
in. the arms of his mother, who had been
an almost distracted spectatorof the whole
scene. 70 1easA
In answer to the question of how he
was getting along when the gentlemen
boarded the boat, he answered thathe was
pretty wet, but added, g Wasn't Il lucky,

Important Arrest of Counterfeiter.
For long time it has been suspected
that Nicholas county, Ky, was the head
quarters of gang of counterfeiters; but
their Operations have been conducted
with SO much caution and secresy as to
give no clue to the precise locality of their
den.
Last week circumstances transpired
which led to the arrest ofJas. Roundtree,
at Paris, KY, on Sunday morning. It
seems that on Saturday morning, Round
tree had got into a game of cards with
some country-men, in which, though he
lost the games, he won the money. By
agreement there was to be no bet of less
than $25, and Roundtree would put down
a counterfeit $50 bill on the State Bank
of North Carolina and take up $25 in
good money. This game was continued
until he had lost $1,000 in counterfeit
bills on that bank, and pocketed $500 in
good money.
On Sunday morning the Kentuckians
made the discovery that all their money
was counterfeit, and that Roundtree had
swindled them out of 5000. They pro-
cured warrant and had him arrested,
and on his person was found over seven
thousand dollars in counterfeit bank notes
and bogus coin. The paper money was
of the denomination of $5O's on the State
Bank of North Carolina, eos on the State
Bank of North Carolina, COS on the Bank
of Louisiana, and is 3's SIS and los on
the Banks of Kentucky, Ohio and Indi-
ana. Over $500 in bogus silver coin
was found ON him, and several spurious
gold peaces, rs and SIS. Only $65 of
the good money was found on him. The
counterfeit SOS North Carolina, and the
COS Louisiana, are said to be we'll execut-
ed, and calculated deceive. The others
are easily detected. Roundtree was ia
ken before the magistrate of Paris on Mon
day afternoon for examination, and was
held in several thousand dollars bail to
answer at the next term Of the Circuit
Court. His arrest has caused much ex
citement in the part of Kentucky.-Louis-
