| GIVE THE PROPER CREDIT, SIR THE New

ration for the fertility of Imagination displayed
by the New Orleans reporters and it's astonish
nent at the same, and further intimating that
the veracity of that brotherhood runs no risk of
prominence among their virtues, copies from the

YOUNG MoENDIAREs.-- Joseph Heating and
| Cornelius q Keefe, one apparently about ten
years of age and the other in the neighborhood
! of fourteen, were arrested by officer Newhouse
yesterday afternoon on charge of having set
| fire to several houses in the upper part of the
city, among others to school house. They
state that themselves and number Of other
boys had been employed to fire buildings by
man who offered them a considerable sum of
money for their valuable services and also,

| TOUCHING TRAGEDY.-That realities, the ao-
| tual events of life are sometimes romantic as
| the dreams Of fiction, and appeal more deeply
to the feelings and sympathies, we do not doubt,
and have besides a case in point to demonstrate
the truth of the trite idea.
An inquest was held yesterday upon the body
of Mrs Mariana Lowe, q beautiful German
lady, aged l6 years, who had been married but
a short time, and who up to a few days prev
ious to her death, had lived in apparent happi-
ness with her husband. They resided on Thalia
street, between Camp and Prytania, and not
| long after their marriage the exacting love Of
| the wife became alarmed by strange reports Of
| the conduct of her husband, which were con-
hrmed by various circumstances coming under
| her own knowledge-his altered manner towards
her, his frequent absence from home, etc. Her
| jealous fears were awakened-she dreaded their
confirmation. but she sought and obtained the
| truth; and that truth brought the conviction
with it, that she no longer enjoyed her hus-
bands love; it carried despair to her soul. She
| learned that her husband had formed an illicit
connection with o woman in their immediate
| neighborhood and last Tuesday evening she
| traced him to the honse and became convinced
| Of his guilt; she returned home and penned a
| letter addressed to him, in which she INDUCED
| in no reproaches, but expressed her affection
| for him and her grief at his faithlessness in
| the strongest terms, declaring that nothing was
left her in the world worth living for, and that
she would forgive his injustice and die. She
then procured an ounce of laudanum from an
adjoining drug store, swallowed it, and in o
few hours was corpse.
