THE FAREWELL OF GRIsr AND MARIo.-The
New York Mirror of yesterday says: These in
comparable artists who leave for Europe to-day.
sang their swan song last evening to full and
sympathetic house. They were evidently touch
ed by the pathos of the parting scene, and there
was n sad sweet. musical adieu, that came and
went from heart to heart, in every strain and ges
ture. Again and again were they called before
the curtain and waving hankerchiefs, applaud
ing hands, vocforous bravos and abounding bo-
quets, to say nothing of whole armament of
bright eyes glittering like dewdrops moist with
emotion expressed the admiring enthusiasm of the
audience. The farewell wave of Crisis beautiful
arm-the arm that Jules Junin prettly said was
"the one that Venus Milo lost t''-diffused food
of something more than music through the
ry soul of the house; and the charmed crowd
retired silently, as from church, cherishng the
bright image of the lost star in their heart of
hearts
Whoever writes our epitaph, may say with
more truth than is generally uttered by tomb
stones, that the underlying sleeper counted it
among the special blessings of life that he lived
in the reign Juetta Grisi and died hoping to
again hear her seraphic strains mingling in the
chorus of the grand opera of eternity
For fifty nights her beautiful music has been
the .'sweet obivous ntidote' for all our cares
an unialng inspiration of the delicious dreams.

Horrible Discovery Ten Persons Perished ON
the Praiiiea


Horrible Discovery Ten Persons PeIished on
the Praiiies.
We ARE furnished by gentleman from Lafay-
cite, Ind, with the details of II rumor current in
that city on Thursday, which fills tho mind with
horror in view of tho suiferngs of the party to
whom it refers. We only hope that the rumor
may prove nm esaggcrationif if not unfounded. 1t
is possible that it is only highly seasoned re-
hash of the account of the loss of family be-
tween this city and Galena, published i'll the
Press of the 10Th inst:
On tho Saturday preceding the memorable
storm of the u of January, two families, mum
bering ten persons. moving from southern lndi-
ana TO northern Illinois, arrived at Oxford the
county seat of Benton county, Ind, about forty
miles northwest of Lafayette, with two teams
and well provided with necessaries for the road.
They remained there through the storm, and on
Monday morning resumed their journey. Last
Tuesday morning man passing over prairie,
only about five miles from Oxford, came upon IL
sight which filled him with horror.
The carcnsscs of two oxen, from which the
viscera had been removed, lay upon the ground.
Inside of ono of them the frozen bodies of
four children, and in the other the frozen corpse
of the mother with nursing infant at her breast.
Tn len the snow heap of ashes in which the
iron of the wagons showed that the party had
broken them up, and burned every thing they
had in them, in the effort to save their lives, Not
far from this spot was found the body of the 9TH
ar woman of the party, partly concealed in
snow drift, and near her. one of the men. The
two other men had not been found.
1t is probable that the party became nextrica-
bly, involved in the snow drifts on the bleak prai-
rc aud lost their presence of mind. Alter burn-
ing up their wagons it would seem that the mon
had Killed two OF the oxen for shelter to those
found in them, and then accompanied by one wo
man yainly endenyored to reach the town they
had left, and procure aid to rescue their compan
ions. The two other oxen had wandered off,
There was nothing about tho persons TO indicate
who they were, undnothug more is known about
them than was accidentally communicated by
them during their brief stay at Oxford.
