A ROMANTIC INCIDENT. - A soldier
who was present at the capture of Sebas-
topol, relates the following romantic
story:
"a party of men belonging to differ
emit regiments were paroling from house
to house in search of plumber. In one
of the houses they came across bcauti-
full young female, about II or Is years
Of age. OF course, some Ignorance was
shown amongst the party, who commenced
to drag her about, and would have used
violence TO her had not o young man be-
longing b. the '1stho teFen musket
and threatened "a blow the first mans
brains out that laid Il finger on her;
whereupon the young woman few to this
man and chung to him for protection
She followed him all the way to tho
camp, when, coming in sight of his
camp, he beckoned her to return; but
she would not leave him.
Whether she had fallen in love at first
sight ! don't know; but she came TO the
camp with him. AS soon as he got there
he was instantly confined for being abb
sent when the regiment was under arms.
She followed him to the guard tent, and
cried after him. The colonel Of his regi-
ment, seeing the affection she bore him,
released him, and sent them both before
General Harris, where an interpreter
was got, and she related the whole affair
to them.
II turned out that she was the Gener-
aPs daughter, with some thousands.
She was beautifully attired, carried a
gold watch, and wore a set Of bracelets
Of immense value. The young man is
now about TO be married to her. Sho
will not leave him upon any account
whatever; and if he is not lucky dog,
/ don't know who is"
The above may be true, but il sounds
apocryphal.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO A
WIFE.

Sir James Mackinstock, the historian,
was married in early life, before he at
tanned fortune or fame, to Miss Catherine
Stuart, young Scotch lady, distin-
guished more for excellency of her char
acter than her charms. After eight
years of a happy welded life, during
which time she became the mother Of
three children, she died A few days
after her death, the bereayed husband
wrote to friend, depicting the cbarac-
ter of his wife in the following terms:

who, by the tender management Of fny

most generous nature, she was taught
frugality and economy by her love tome.
:" During the most critical period OF
my life, she preserved order in my affairs,
from the care Of which she relieved me-
She gradually reclaimed me from dis

Poetry.
From the Baltimore American.
THE EVENING STAR.

That beautcous star-the star Of eve
How welcome is its rays
1t comes, the tormenis to relieve
To heal the wounds Of day.
/ watch it as the sun goes down,
Slowly emerge to lisht;
To claim an empire all its own,
And rule tween day and night.
To hold, awhile, its gentle sway
Its lovely beams to cast
Der all that's lei. Of gaudy day,
The Suns dominion past.
That lucid start how clear it shines,
In rays of mellowed light,
And as the glare of day declines,
Seems more divinely bright.
That pure, bright star, that will not deign
With twinkling lights to blend;
But hastes, as these assume their reign,
Where nobler planets tend.
Where nobler planets seek to rest
Where Sun and Moon recline-
And leave the skies by night possest,
That lesser orbs may shine
That one, bright star to my charm'd eye,
Is fraught with loves own SPELL
An emblem in the western sky,
onswhieh sweet musings dwell. W.B.

Technical observations.

A few days ago couple of men got in-
to fight, and as a consequence. it being
naturally the case, a ring of excited in
dividuals got around the parties, and
each according to his own feelings in tho
matter gave his advice.
Peg it into him, said the shoemaker,
hammer his upper leather for him,
that's it wax him my lad; beat his soul
out of him."
" Cut it into him, old fell said tho
butcher; " knock him on the head. Say!
why don't yer punch his ribs2 You're
regular calf, youarel knuckle him, now
yer got him, and make mincc meat of
him."
{" Dress him WE'LL" said the tailor;
see how lie pants fell him ! give him d
stitch in his ribs! button up his lip, and
knock him bang up"
Tan his hide" said the currier;
"peel the bark off his nose--and damage
his skim
"That suits me exactly said the
lawyer; "get his head into chancery,
and bleed him till he pleads; then he's
a good case.' Then advancing to the
other one, lie said: "IIe's doing you
an injury, he's perfectly feerocious takc
the law on him, and I'll look out for the
remainder"
:" | saw him strike you first" said tho
carpenter; email him; knock his up
rights from under him; cross cut him
until he lays dormant; I'll bet a basket
of shavings on you old chip
"Plug him in the eye" said the to-
bacconist; get double on him and
then chew him up. Don'tl lot him stump
you; give him one on his niger head.
"What's the row 2" said the police
coming up after every one had gone
I "Show us chance to grab at some
body."--N y Picayuae.

Wool Market.

PROSPECTS OF THE TRADE.-The Ohio
State Journal states wool sale made at
New York, May nth, of 10000 lbs.-
The price of unwashed ranged from III
cents per pound and upwards. For wash
ed, mostly common and one-fourth blood,
the price was SO4 cents per pound. The
Journal adds:
"In this market the price at the opening
will range from 8 to cents per pound less
than that of last year. Sessions & Harris
have already bought about 5000 pounds at
from ls to 80 cents per pound. For ex-
ira the price ranges higher. If the season
proves good for crops, and money becomes
more plenty, the price Of wool will increase,
probably beyond that of last year. But
this is mere guess work.
We are inclined to think II is guess work.
The wool market, without doubt, exhibits
healthy face and prices apparently tend
upwards; but we do not think present
prices will be maintained. On the con-
trary, we would say that it is the prevail
ing impression among those who should be
well informed upon the subject, that prices
must decline, inasmueh as for months past,
the medium and lower grades Of voolen
goods have met with slow sale, at rates
which must nett heavy loss to the manu-
facturer-and .he stock is now heavier
than at this period for many years past
A number of the mills at the east have re-
Gently ceased operations, in consequence ol
the disparity of prices, and these facts in
dicate that it will not be long before a con-
siderable decline is experienced.
Another fact is well worthy of mention
and that is, that a large amount Of the
old clip is still held, and this coming for
ward with the new, will undoubtedly have
tendency to depress the market. 1t is
not likely that the speculative spirit which
has heretofore prevailed viii occur this
year, as most of those engaged in those op-
erations during the past two years, came
out at the smallest end Of the horn.
As far as we can ascertain, the supply OF
wool this year will be much larger than
during last season. 1t is true that large
number Of the animals from which We de-
rive the article, have died of disease and
that the wool growers this State, of Wes-
tern Pennsylvania. Virginia, and other
States, having suffered much loss in conse-
quence, but it is also certain that for this
reason, far less number than usual have
been killed for their hide and talloW. Be-
sides, many of the wool growers are in ne.
cessitous circumstances. Owing 10 the
scarcity and high price of provisions, they
have been compelled to spend large sums
for the purchase of necessary food, and vii
be induced TO send their wool to market
earlier than usual, to replenish their funds

simeon Crane.

Soon after the spring elections, the Lo-
cofoce papers rang with charges against
Simeon Crane, who, it was said, had chan
ged the ballots in the box at Florence
township, Erie county. We regarded this
at the time, as game to ward off public
attention from the prosecution against
Lieut. Gov. Myers, for permitting fraudu-
lent voting. while acting as judge of cleo
ton in Toledo. 1t is but common justice
to Mr. Crane, who has always sustained the
reputation Of a good citizen and honest man,
to state that the Grand Jury, at its recent
session in Sandusky, ignored the bill of in
dictment against him, and refused TO rec
ognize the charge as worthy their notice.
Of course, he was discharged from his rec
ognizance. Will the papers which have
published the charges against him, do an
act of simple justice by stating the fact that
the Grand JurJ refused even TO find a bill (?

ment from the infancy of pioneer lie to the
vigorous strength of the present day-has

strict and rigid economy in the admins

Indenendence ofIoI,n Hughes,

To the Editors TIE " Y Express:
am requested to call your attention to
your calling John Hughes Archbishop Of
New York. That is not the fact, for he was
not elected by the ministry or the laity Of
this city. but he was appointed to that Of
fee by the Pope of Rome, and is in fact
the Pope's archbishop in the diOcess ot
New York, and nothing else.
And / am also requested to state as a
fact that the Laity and number of the
Priests are anxious that some leading paper
would call a meeting of the intelligent and
independent lai!y to organize number Of
independent Catholic churches in this city,
who shall and will own and maintain
their own church, and call permanently a
priest at their own charge, who SHALL if be
so will, "marry," and that the whole service
of the church shall be performed in the
English language, and that members ofthe
church shall be allowed the bible in their
families, and such other improvements in
the worship as this enlightened age de-
mands. This is requested by priest, and
number of them stand ready, as soon as
congregations are organized, 10 accept the
calls and Fill the offices, when demanded.
He states also that full two-thirds of the
priests of this city are ready to revolt from
under the tyranny of John Hughes, but
dare not until the independent laity begin.
Such Mr. Brooks is the sting that John
Hughes cannot stand; for this is the weak
point of the church. You have no idea the
amount of good you will do in advocating
and defending this actual revolt which is
now ripe and ready.
am, respectfully, yours, ]. W.
