Curious Affair in Arkansas.

A letter from Marion, Ark, says:-Om county
Judge. w. p. Farmer, who had been absent for sew
era weeks aiding, as is generally believed, Morgan,
the Murderer Of Appel, to escape from justice, return
ed last Friday, and this morning, with brazenE,ced-
unparalleled, came to hold probate court. In
the meantime our citizens assembled and requested
the Judge to resign, which he absolutely refused t"
do. They then informed him that he could not hold
the court, and meeting of the citizens was immedi-
ately called at the court house, which, after being
organized, appointed DIR. John Lewis, S. ID. Hen
bricks, Q. NJ, Bellows, J. w. McClung and James
Guthrie, committee to draft resolutions expressive
of the of the meeting, who reported the follow
ing. which was unanimously adopted
Whereas, In the opinion Of this meeting, VIM. p
Farmer. the present incumbent of the office of Judge
OF the County Court and -oicio Judge OF the Court
of Probate of this county, has disgraced himself ms
and citizen, and rende, ed himself conem, tibe
Judge, by aiding notorious murderer to escape
from ustce-theretOre,
Resolred, that decent respect for the opinions OF
the citizens of this county demands that the said Far
ner resign his office of Judge.
Resolved, That if VIM. =. Farmer refuses TO COM
ply with this generally expressed wish of the people,
but still insists upon holding the Office Of which he
the present incumbent, he shall, under no crcnlsan-
ces, be allowed exercise the duties Of his Office in

The Tribune of the LIST of May, states that
the remarkable thunder storm of Thursday
night, the 9th April, was succeeded by forty
eight hours Of continuous rain, closing finally
at an early hour on Sunday morning. The
country t:ereabouts has been thoroughly flood
ed, and much damage has been done to rail-
roads, water courses, and perhaps to winter
crops. In Brooklyn mass of earth was loos-
ened from the flights, and in its fall crushed
and partially buried a dwelling house, killing
two persons and wounding several others. On
the Harlem Railroad one or two important
bridges were carried away; but the damage
will soon be repaired On the Hudson River
Road, two hundred and fifty feet of the bridge
over Croton River was destroyed, and in other
places embellishments washed down. The train
which should have gone up the night before did
not start. The trains to Sing-Sing were to
run that afternoon as usual On the New
York and Erie Railroad extensive damage was
done, and seven lives were lost at Stairway, a
few miles west of Port Jervis they being car
ried into the river by large quantity of earth
which loosened and gave way. The New Jer-
sey Railroads have, so far as we have learned,
mostly escaped damage or interruption to ira

A submarine feet Of small boats, each to contain a

that no ntimaton whatever is given, by the slightest
rule on the surface, of the approach Vi Of these

enables the wearer, moreover, to move about with

to unknown mystery Of the ocean. However, it is
not bad reflection on the spirit Of the age in which

The following beautiful little sketch is by Grace
Greenwood. 1t occurs in her account Of her voyage
across the Atlantic: Gone day much to my surprise
! spied a real live butterfly, Of the spars Of
the vessel. 1t had been blown out from the shore,
the captain said. But its wings wet with spray
and torn by the Winds and it did not live many min
utes after it. thought to myself that perhaps this
poor little creature had been born in some secluded
garden, brought up the sweetest honey and the
purest dew, Graded by night in jessamine flower,
and rocked by summer winds, costly couched in the
heart Of and sung to sleep Ivy merry cricket.
That perhaps, she had always been conten'ed and
happy till some sossppins locust vagrant hummng
bird had filed her with fine stories Of grander
gardens the sea, and she had been seized with
foolish longing for foreign travesights and adven-
lures. That from this time her garden home dull,
her honey and dew nsipd, her bud uncomtorta-
bic, the song Of her cricket nurse arsh till she could
stand it longer, but bravey few off from the shore
right that beautiful sparkling sea. Then the
strong wind took her and whirlcd her and on,
through the salt ocean spray all day and night until
it left her at last. not in fairy foreign garden, but
great ship that smeIt Of instead Of roses, and
the small gold stars died Of her azure wings, and
she was soon only little heap of shining dust.'
