Astonishing EIopement.


One day last week, a woman named
SULsER eloped from her husbands resi-
dence in Morgan Township, Butler
County, Ohio with a young schoolmas-
ter named PEAsE, who had been teaching
during the winter in the vicinity, and
boarding at SULsER's house. The infatu-
ated woman had lived happily with her
husband for near twenty years, and was
by him the motherNof seven interesting
children. She took with her her young
est child, an infant, Ceaving six with
her husband, and about five thousand
in cash negotiable notes She was the
caughtes Of a wealthy old farmer, who
died about a year ago, leaving a very
handsome property to her. The notes
which she took with her were given
by the purchaser of a portion of
the land inherited from her father,
and was drawn in faver of her aud
her husband. On the day of her
flight, one of her brothers, who was
sick in her house, died and it is pre-
sumed that the sudden and strange
disappearance of his sister may have Civ
en- the shock that proved fatal. The
husband of the guilty fugitive was in the
city yesterday, searching for a clue to
the whereabouts of the wretched pair
who have robbed him of his peace. He
is almost crazed with grief, indignation
and shame, and is of the opinion that
tho flight has been in the direction of
New York. 1t is feared that Pease had
some of the notes cashed in this city, but
the fact has not been ascertained. This
is one of the most remarkable cases of
elopement of which we have heard. 1t
seems wholly unaccountable, yet the
human heart is deceitful above all things
and desperately wicked" At home she
was in very comfortable, circumstances.
Her husband had just finished a COM
modious and elegant new house, and the
eldest of her children was a daughter
fourteen years of age, a more interest
ing and apparently happy family than
the one now ~dishonored and broken, was
a fortnight ago, would be hard to find.

A Bag of Dirt, tied up nasty, who
expects to get rich out of the Ashland
Mutual Insurance company, says We
made an attack on a Merchant of this
place. jeff 'is the only one who pre-
tends to believe our article was in
tended for the Merchant. But JEFF
thought if he could make the Merchant
believe it was meant for him, he would
secure a little printing which we might
otherwise get. 1t is a small matter,
and we hope he will get something by
it. He says Sam MEDARY and GRAY
will have nothing to do with US. Ifthis
were true, it would make US feel bad,
utthe facts are, we are on terms OF
personal friendship at this time, with
both of these distinguished men; but if
it was SO, We would only be in the same

Our Town Council.

This body have had one or two meet.
Jugs preparatory to adopting measures
for our town government. There is an
evident disposition on the part of tho
Mayor and Council to eeonom;ze and
pay off the debt of our Town. This
meets the appreciation of all citizens
4 number of wholesome measures will
be adopted at an early date. Although
the Council, with one exception, is
Know-Nothing, their acts so far, shows
that " good al come out of Nazareth. "
There were quito a number of appli-
cants for the office of Marshal, but they
all failed except Hall-not Ruth, We
beiicrc-but Silas. This is a very pop
ular appointment and one fit to be
made" possessing as he does, energy of
character to do the arduous dutios very
satisfactorily.

and that Mr., Matrell and a brace of al
dermen had each a coat therefrom. 1t
is proper to say that the chief denies
the soft impeachment.
The gross impositions to which the
people of this city are subjected by
spectators in provisions, has long been
notorious, but its extent has never been
statistically known until recently, A
city print is now giving the prices of all
kinds of agricultural products in the
great producing regions, connected by
navigation and railroads with this city,
from which it appears that the forestall-
era realize nearly 100 per cent. from the
first cost of all kinds of marketing bro't
to this metropolis.
There has been great rejoicing among
the fr1il sisterhood here in
of the decision of Judge Morris, that
the summary committal of some thirty
of them to the penitentiary was illegal.
The Gagged birds have all been liberated.
Perhaps a public meeting may be got
up to sympathise with them. Why not ?
The proceedings would be about as dec
orous and proper as a Sabbath eulogy
on the late Bill Poole. Quite c crowd
of cavaliers were in attendance to escort
the Cyprians to their homes, when re-
leased from durance, and champaigne
flowed ad H6itwne, it is said, in the pal
aces of profigacy in Mercer st. and
elsewhere. I understand that the Po-
lice have been instructed to ascertain
the names of the owners of these houses,
and that their m will appear in
print. Some of them, I am sorry to
to say, are known to be F." church mem

Correspondence OF the Ashland Union.1
FROM NEW YORK.


New YoRK, April ID, 1855.
If we had no other indications of a
slack business season than those afford
ed by the Custom House returns, they
would be sufficient to satisfy every one
of the tightness of the times. The i'm
portations at this port during the last
quarter, have been fifty per cent. less
than for the same period last year; and
there is reason to believe that the fall
ing off in the amount of sales, both at
wholesale and retail, has been cores
pondingly great. In the meantime,
gold in large amounts is RENTED to
Europe by every steamer; and in the
present EN- barrassed condition of Cali
fornia, we cannot look for our usual
large supplies from that quarter for
some time to come. Still there is no
uncommon pleasure in the money market
no sign of an approaching financial
crisis. Our merchants, generally, have
had the good sense to cut down their
business expenses and private disburse-
ments; and the mercantile community
if not making fortunes on the steam
and tightening principle, are certainly
not in perilof ruin and disaster.
Talking of the Police, there have
been some rich Developments made be-
fore the Committee appointed to lool
into the doings of that party and its
Chief. Testimony has been adduccd tc
show thai a certain piece of cloth used
as a pail for the coffin of Henry Clay,
when his remains passed through thi:
city, was subsequently, made into gar,
ments for several leca! functionaries.

For JEFF the Jew to visit Church on

John Mitchell gone South to Live

The american Times, of New York,
thus chronicles the movements of the
"patriot e%xile,n JOHN Mitchell, and
gives him a very ungallant hint about
the worth of his vote
"The local editor of the Richmond
Wing, learns from a friend in that city,
who has recently received a letter from
John Mitchell, dated at New York, that
that gentleman was about to leave, with
his family, for Tennessee, in a day or
two after the date of the letter (Tues-
day last.) He states in the letter that
he purposes to reside in that State per-
manently, being Influenced to that step
principally by a desire to raise his chill
dren in the South. He purposed ma
king Richmond his route, but subse-
q~uently selected Charleston, whittier he
goes by one of the regular line of steam
ers to that city from New York,
His intentions is to engage in farm
ming, at least for the next four years,
the term of his probation preparatory to
his becoming a citizen of this Repub-
lie.
We trust sincerely that before the
four predatory years have TRANSFERRED
Sam may have something to say to
john concerning naturalization, which
will efectually settle the matter of citi.
zenship. Mitchell can be quite as val,
liable to the community acithout a vote
as aUiM it."
The american Times is the Know
Nothing organ of New York. In les:
4 than four years, all naturalization of for
eigners is to cease! 1t is we'll to re
member that this JOHN MITCHELL is &
Protestant in religion. This shows the
hollow eartedness of the cry against
/ Catholics! The design is upon all who
happen to be born out of the United
States. 1t is a foul disgrace to oui
country, that such ar attack should be
made upon a martyr for liberty. Stafes

YOUNG AMERICA AT ScHooL.-A lit

in West Lynn, Mass, on Wednesday,
says Tie Neucs, WEIGH is, perhaps, worth
relating. One of the classes was reel

lean girl who the first man was.
She answered that she did not know.
The question was put to the next schol-

Glorious Democratic Victory in
Michigan---Know Nothingism
Completely Routed.

SS444A114S14
Completely Routed.
The Detroit Tree Press, in speaking
of the recent spring elections in that
State, says
1.-THE returns of the township cleo
ton held on Monday indicate hat the
Democracy have swept the State
KnoR-Nothingism' and Fusionism seem
generally t. have combined, but with
very Indifferent success, even in some
anti Democratic strongholds. Our i'm
preston is that the result will show an
old-fashioned Democratic victory"
In November last the Know-Noth-
ings carried Michigan, electing their
State ticket by a handsome majority,
and choosing a great proportion of the
Legislature. Now the state of affairs
is entirely reversed, and the Democrats
have again the ascendency. Through
out the country there is a heavy reac-
ton in the public sentiment against the
bigoted, proscriptive, secret society
The charm o~fnoYelty and secrecy which
surrounded it has been dispelled, and it
is now being viewed in its true light,
as the most odious and infamous organ
ization that was ever established in the
Union, and which could never carry out
its purposes misunderstanding our free
institutions. In city after city, and
town after town, its black flag is being
struck to the glorious national standard
OF Democracy, the only true American
emblem of freedom"

NOTICES.

sB- As a SPRING and SUMMER MEDI-
CINE, Carter's Spsnish Mixture stands pre-
eminent above all others. Its singularly eff
cacious action on the blood strengthening and
v~ivifying qualities; its tonic action en- the
Liver; its tendency to drive all humors to the
%surface, thereby cleansing the system according
to Natures own prescription its harmless, and
at the same time extraordinary good effects, and
the number of cures testified to by many ofthe
most respectable citizens of Richmond, Va,
and elsewhere, must be conclusive evidence
that there is no humbug aboutit.
The trial of a single bottle will satisfy the
most skeptIcal of lis benefits.
