A Queer Story.

We find the following in the Portsmouth
(Va.) Transcript:
A wealthy American merchant Of the,
city of New Orleans, married Creole Ia
DIV of fortune, and with the estates and
servants there came into his possession a
mulatto seamsiress and her daughter,
child of seven years. The gentleman
was so much struck with the exlraordina-
rv beauty Of the child, which had The pu-
rest Italian features and complexion, that
he resolved TO save it from the life OF deg
radiation which was before it, and free ii
and educate ii. He sent her 10 Nor
lhern School, where she remained until
her sixteenth year--by all supposed to be
a patrician Creole maiden. She herself
knew not TO the contrary-so young was
she when she went TO the North Below
ed by all her companions, the idol Of the
institute. and caressed by every one, she
left 10 return South, as she supposed to
the "roof of her uncle" A young LoL-
isiana gentleman, who had seen her in
Philadelphia, and loved her, and was be-
loved by her, sought her hand on her re-
turn. The marriage day was fixed, the
arrived when the mother, who had been
long sold away in La fourche Inferior. in
order that she might never appear as a
witness against her child, re-appeared in
the bridal hall, in the very hour after the
ceremony had been performed, claimed
the magnificent and now miserable bride
as her own daughter--a bond slave by
birth, and an African by blood The
scene, as described by one who was pre-
sent, surpasses the power Of pen to por-
tray. That night the bridegroom, after
charging the adopted father of his bride
with his gross deception. shot him through
the body and disappeared, carrying, no
one knew whittier, his infamy and his
bitter sorrows. The next morning the
bride was found disdgured corpse, in
the suberb nuptial chamber which had
been prepared for her reception. She
had taken poison Education, cuitiva'
ted mind and taste which made her see
and understand how great was her degra-
dation, now armed her hand with the rea-
dy means of death. The planter RECOVER
ed from his wound, and returned TO the
North, where he resides, buried in deep
seclusion, the residue of his years under
the keenest regrets.

POLITICAL JOKE.-SOme years ago, IN
q neighboring county down East one of
the political parties had, for over twenty
years, been IN the habit OF holding their
County nominating convention at the
house of Mr.. c.. He happened, on
a recent occasion, for the first time, to be
in when they had finished their business,
and heard little delegate from K. move

SUICIDE OF GREEN THE CHICAGO BAN
KER.-The Chicago Democrat Of the l9Ih
inst, says that Geo. w. Green, found
guilty of poisoning his wife by The Cir
cult Court of Cook county, committed
suicide by hanging himself in his cell on
the 18th inst. From the appearance OF
the cell Of the deceased 1T was evident that
the unfortunate man had for some time
premeditaed the act, and that he took ev-
ery possible means to effect ii, even TO
precluding the possibility Of his attempt
ing TO afford himself any assistance after
he had taken the fatal plunge into eterni-
ty. Upon the opening of the outside door
of his cell al the usual hour (haIl-pas! sew.
en- in the morning) by the turnkey, he OBJ
served that the quilt of The prisoners bed
was hung up as curtain before the inside
door, which is an iron grated one. He
however, thought Green might have hung
this up TO shade The light, and passed on.
At subsequent visit TO the CELL the body
of the prisoner was found suspended hang
ing from the wall.

The kIoHEsT SELL WE EVER HEARD
OF.--We find an account, i'll the East
Brooklyn Times, of new method O.;
"raising the wind" as well as the dead,
in that city, which takes down anything
in the diddling line Of the season, and in
dicates the extent and pressure of the hard
times. A female called a few days since
on lady Of some influence in Brooklyn,
and told sad and plaintiye story of suf-
fering and priVation, and moreover, that
her husband bad Just died and that she
lacked the means Of decent burial. Her
tale of woe so wrought upon the lady that
she proceeded to visit her Immediately, 10
satisfy herself that there was no impos-
ture. On entering the apartment she be-
held the coffin, and was satisfied all was
right, and not wishing TO harrow the feel
ines of the bereaved woman, she left her
considerable sum of money. and imme-
diately departed. After passing two or
three blocks from the dwelling, thinking
all The way of the strange compilations to
which we are liable, she missed her pock-
ct handkerchief and returned 10 see if she
had not dropped it in the house. The
stairs were ascended hastily and the room
entered without much ceremony, when
what did she behold-lhe woman's hus-
band sitting up in the coffin counting over
the money

Ono WHEAT CRoP.--The Trumbull
Democrat remarks that the farmers in that
region of country say that the wheat crop
looks exceedingly well at the present
time. and the prospect of good crop is
very fattaring. The farmers in Lawrence
report similar news, The whole crop in
the Yves, and Northwest has been comfor-
tably clothed with its winter covering, and
every thing bids fair to assure US oil a
bounttuI yield. 1t will require an abun-
dant crop to bring down the price OF

THE PASSING BELL.

BY MISS If. L. wooDwORTH.
Toll mournfulIy! toll mournfully!
Thou lonely bell to-day
One of earth's beautiful has passed
From our embrace away!
Death could not leave so fair flower
To grace our earthly home;
And where her footsteps wander now,
The reaper may not come.
Solcmnly-toll soemnly
a pilgrims work is done;
The three-scOre years and ten are past,
The bright acceptance won.
Oh, part the locks of honored gray
Around the peaceful head,
And bear the care-worn dust away
It's term Of life has sped.
Softly toll-and tenderly!
a bright-winged bird has flown,
The angels bear jewel up
To deck the Saviour's crown.
A mother kneels in silent grief
Beside an empty cot,-
Oh not for him let tears be she'd
His is blessed lot.

AMUsING.-The editor OF the Albany
Register, having been disturbed by an as
sembage of cats under his window, lhns
gives vent to his Indignation
But those cats, in our opinion, are IN
danger, and we warn all who have any
interest in them either present or eXpec-
fancy, to look to them. We have been
constrained to watch for hours, when We
ought to have been asleep. We have
heard the clock strike twelve, one, two
at intervals in their performances, and
have been tempted to the use of terms not
to be found in any religious work, or any
of the standard sermons OF the day. we
have dropped brckbats among them' was
ted more wood upon them than we are
able to spare, have taken cold by exposure
10 the night air, become hoarse by halloo-
ing "Scal u We have exhausted our
loose pieces of brick, the smaller sticks
Of our wood pile, and our patience. In
view of al! these facts we submit that there
is nothing left for US bat TO move ourself'
or move those cats, and we shall not
move. We have prepared double-bar-
relied gun. full supply of bird shot, with
the necessary quantity of powder and
percussion caps, and in our opinion some
body's cats will go home some moonlight
night, complaining Of feeling unweII. If
they do, we must be held harmless.

Beautiful Incident.

A correspondent of the Preston Eng
land) Chronicle gives the following anec-
veeQte: :,
t'Ag good while ago, boy named Char
lie, had large dog which was very fond
of his water, and in hot weather he used
to swim across the river, near which the
boy lived. One day the thought struck
him that il would be fine fun to make the
dog carry him across the river; so he tied
a string to the dogs collar, and ran down
with him TO the waters edge, where he
took off all his clothes, and then, holding
by the dogs neck and the bit Of string,
he went into the water and the dog pulled
him across. After playing about on the
other side some time, they returned as
they came; but when Charlie looked for
his clothes, he could find nothing but his
shoes. The wind had blown all the rest
into the water. The dog saw what had
happened, and making his Iillle master lei
90 the string, by making him believe to
bite him, he dashed into The river and
brought out his coat, and then all the
rest in succession. Charlie dressed and
went home in his wet clothes; and told
his mother what fun he and the dog had
His mother told him that he did very
wrong in going across the river, as he haC
done and that he should thank God fol
making the dog take him over and back
again safely; for if the dog had made hin
le, 90 in the river, he would most likely
have been drowned. Little Charlie said
"ShaIl thank God now, mamma" ant
then he kneelcd at his mothers knee, ant
thanked God; then, getting up again, h'
threw his arm round his dogs neck, say
| ing, Il thank you, too, dear doggle, for no
letting me CO." Little Charlie is now Ad
mral Sir Charles Napier"

A BRUTAL MURDER.-James Cruise
was brutaIly murdered on Sunday even
ing, the llth inst, at the grog shop cor
ner of Greatmen and Post streets, New
Orleans by Patrick Kennedy, aided by
his brother-in-Iaw James Doyle. They
were all drunk, and quarrel having en-
sued, some parties in the room attempted
to restore good understanding. After
this interpositlon Cruise walked across
the street, and, leaning against lamp
post, began to vomit the effect of his drink
ing. Doyle approached him and struck
him three times with stick over the head.
When Kennedy saw Doyle approaching
Cruise, he broke away from his wife and
man who had hold of him, and ran up
10 Cruise also, and while Doyle was
striking Cruise over the head, he drew a
dirk and stabbed him tCruisel in the
stomach, the knife penetrating the heart
an inch and half. He fell and expired
without uttering word. Kennedy threw
The knife away, but it was soon found all
bloody and he was arrested.

A VnLAINoUs AFFAIR.-The n. C..
Commercial Bulletin of the 18th ult. says,
an honest but unsophisticated farmer from
Alabama, arrived in this city yesterday en-
route for Arkansas. Having his wife and
four daughters with him, he engaged two
cabs TO convey them to the Arkansas slea-
mer from the Ponchartrain Railroad de-
pot. His eldest daughters, aged ID and
l6 years, were placed in cab driven by
John Gryor, assisted by an ex-police Off
Ger named James Roach. The villains
drove them by circuitous route, and on
the way stopped at several places and
treated them; and finally robbed the oldest
of 500 in gold and Alabama bank bills,
and committed an outrage upon her.
They then brought the girls to the head Of
Canal street and put them on board the slea-
mer, WHICH left soon afterwards, leaving
the father to search for his supposed lost
daughters. He was arrested and detained
to appear against the above parties.

A GREY SNow.-The Piltsburg Ga

A GREY SNow.-The Pittsburg Ga
zette says that letter TO gentleman in
that city, from East Hickory, Venango
county, states that on the 7lh inst, about
foot of snow fell in that region, on about
six inches which had fallen previously.
After the storm was over, the people were
surprised to find that the snow was a
grey color, near the tint OF buckwheai
-four, and, in depressed places, the color
of wood ashes. This appearance extend
ed all through that region for miles in ex-
tent, in both CLEARED and wood land.
