CURIOUS FACT.-It appears by the Cen
sus Compendium that as many slaves in
the South have been emarcipatcd by in
dividual bcncyolence, as have been freed by
the action of all the Northern States COM
bined, since the revolution. When slavery
was abolished in the North great many
of the slaves were taken South, and sold
before the periods designated by the several
acts for the law to go into operation; but
the whole number to whom liberty was
given was about fifty thousand.

SERIOUS INCIDENT.--A young mnr-
ried pair arrived in the city, says the Alba
ny Knickerbockor, yesterday, from Buffalo,
whose departure from that place was at
tended with n scene whose unpeasantness
was aggravated by it's publicity. Tho
bride is the daughter of q wealthy and aris-
tocratic merchant of Buffalo, and one of tho
most lovely and accomplished woman of
that city, where lovcliness and accomplish
ments seem natural to their sex. The hus-
band is very respectable young gontlc-
man; every way, save in wealth, nud equal
to the lady. The marriage being opposed
by the lady's father, was privately solem-
nized by clergyman yesterday morning,
and the bridal party had just arrived at the
railroad depot to take passage for Now
York when they were overtakcn by the
brother of the bride, who did not know Of
their marriage, and was led to believe that
his sister had sacrificed herself. A rem
contre ensued between him and the hus-
band. during which he (the brothor) drew
a pistol. It was Immediately taken from
him and fired in the air by the groomsman,
who was in attendance, and the parties
separated by him and another gentleman.
The husband then claimed an explanation
with the brother, exhibited the marriage
certificate, and at once relieved his fears.
The brother then ran to the father, who
FASTENED to the cars, read the certificate,
and, after fretting little, gave his bless
ing to the happy pair and got ashore just
as the last bell rung.

A BIT oF ROMANCE.

The following bit of romance, says tho
Cumberland Civilian of Thursday, occurred
at one of the mining villages of the Cum.
berand Coal and Iron Company. About
two years ago a man who had been married
for many years, departed for the West
leaving behind him wife and one child, -
little boy, perhaps six years of age About
three months since the wife, who is a Scotch
woman, having received no intelligence OF
her absent husband, and believing him to
have departed to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns, felt that her lone con-
dition might be amclorated by taking unto
herself another lord, who was thon suing
for her hand with irnpassiOncd cloquencc.
They were unitedI~sthe holy bonds of
wcdlock, and everything moved on betwocn
the two as smoothly Us u marriage bell
On one day last week. however, as the two
were sitting costly together, vii" should
step in upon them but the lady's first hus-
band. If the earth had oponed beneath
them, the pair could not have been more
startled. The prcdcament was an awk-
ward one The wife was overwhelmed with
grief but at once expressed Der desire to go
with her first husband. To this he demur-
red, but demanded his boy, some eight
years of age. His spouse would not aGrco
to it, and the husband departed, chewing
the cud of bitter meditation.
He came as far as Cumberland, and rc-
fccted upon the past and its joys, his pres-
ent loneliness, and the deariness of tho fu-
ture, he concluded to return, and once moro
take his wife and child to his heart. They
agreed to go with him, and on Friday the
man, wife and child took tho cars Mt tho
village for the far West, the newly made
husbond assisting them to depart, and
wishing them long and happy life. They
passed through this city rejoicing on their
way to the beautiful land of flowers. Tho
husband and wife are past the meridian of
their days, and showed much attachment
toward each other.

INVENTION OF SrAYs.-Tradition insists
that corsets were first invented by brutal
butcher of the thirteenth century, as a pun
ishment for his wife. She was very loqua-
cious, and finding nothing would cure her,
he put pair Of stays on her in order to
take away her breath, and 50 prevent her,
as he thought, from talking. This cruel
punishment was inflicted by other heartless
husbands, till at last there was hardly wife
in all London who was not condemned to
the like infliction. The punishment became
so universal at last, that the ladies, in their
defence, made a fashion of it, and so it has
continued to the present day.

SERIOUS BALLOON ACCIDENT.-T par
ty that asccndcd with Mr. GODDARD, oil Thurs
day afternoons, came down in front of the
mansion Of Mr. &. Fisher, above German
town, where several capital asccmsions
were made, after which the party were
handsomely entertained by Mr. Fisher and
lady. When the balloon was near German
town, it was low enough for those in the
car to speak to persons along the road.
One of the party put his head over the
basket and gave three cheers for buchanan,
but when he had drawn his head in again
it was noticed that the gentlcman's jaws
had sunken in very much and that he look
ed ten years older. The party were at a
loss to understand how so great change
could have taken place. Some were about
attributing it to fright, when the unfortu-
nate gentleman informed them that. while
hurrahing, his teeth Lad fallen out The
balloon being about 1000 feet in the air,
it wa. thought best to leave them on the
ground.-PhH. Ledger.

How A CHICAGO MAN LOST Ills WIFE.
The st. Louis Herald contains :he follow
ing touching history of how Chicago man
visited the land Of ''Border Rufins" and
won a dark complexioned maiden; and
though he bound her to him by tho chains
Of Hymen, he lost her on his way home.-
Here is the story:
"a few weeks ago an abOlitionist from
Chicago came to this city. lie met with u
mulattO girl at n negro church, who lived
on Seventh street, and where her parents
owned some property. The abolitionist,
after brief courtslip, wOoed and won tho
"colored gall They were married by a
colorcd minister, and started for GaIena on
bridal tour.
At Ga!cna Dinah met with steamboat
cook, upon whose skin charcoal would
make a white mark, who was formerly n

for her faithlcssness and infidelity. Ho
plead and frowncd by turns and then made
love in burning words Of fond devotion
Dinah could not withstand his eloquencc.

Rose Culture.

-Four things are absolutely essen.
tial in high rose culture---a rich and
deep soil, judicious pruning, freedom
from insects, and water when requis.
tie. If any one olthcsc be wrong, the
success will be in proportion incom-
plctc. Soil is the first consideration,
what is termed a sound loan, they all
delight in; the soil should be adapted
to the stock rather than the scion, OF
kind worked on it. The common, OF
dog-rosc stock, thrivcs best on strong
loamy soil, in half shaded situations
near water, without manure; cultiva.
ted roses require the latter because
they have more hard work to do; their
amount OF blossom, if weight alone be
allowed as test, would, in most ca
SEES, doubly and trebIy exceed that OF
the dog-rosc-added to which they
have less foliage.
Roses, on their own roots, require
that the soil be modified according to
kind; we should not use so adhesive a
soil to a Tea or Bourbon rose as to
ordinary kinds; organic matter is here
required. Depth of soil is Of great i'm
portancc to all kinds; it is the deeper
series Of fibres, situated in a proper
medium, that sustains good success
sion Of flowers, in defiance Of heat and
drought.
Judicious pruning reduces the
rampant growth, and increases the
energies of those which are of Il more
delicate constitution, relieves from SUI
pcrnous shoots and useless wood, and
reduces the whole outline to COM
pact or consistent form. Insect raw
ages must be guarded against-tobac-
co water Or fumes will do this; bath
ing them twice a day with water from
a barrow-cnginc is only objcctional
from the time required. If you have
not provided a deep culture, water, in
dry times, will be requisite; but this
should be done thoroughly rather than
frequently, and the surface soil should
be frequently stirred without in.juring
the roots. Liquid manure--say two
ounces Of guano to gallon of water
should be given once week. With
this treatment, every one may have
fine roses.--Wc HOrticulturist.

A Plan for Drying Fruit.

1t may be a benefit for some persons

fore them.
have % house six feet square and
seven feet high, with a tight floor; at
bottom and top the frame is made Of
scanlling about three inches square,
with three posts on each side; these
very three side posts have zach holes
through them six inches apart, from
bottom to top, to receive inch pins,
eighteen or twenty inches long, TO sus,
tain the shelves containing the fruit
The shelves used are half inch board,
five feet ten inches long, and ten inches
wide. with the corners at each end a
little rounded, so that they may be Ia
ken out or put in handIy. Two of
these boards lie on one range of pins
one board Of twenty inches would do,
but is rather heavy when filled, with
green fruit. A door two feet wide
and seven feet high is about right
let it be in the centre of one end; it is
then convenient to stand outside and
slip in the shelves filled with fruit,
either to the right or the left. A small
stove placed in the centre completes
the fixture, except covering to the
building, which may be attached to it,
or n separate concern.
Any farmer who has a tolcrablc sup
ply Of sprightly boys or girls, can in
one night, from dark till bed time. pre-
pare enough fruit to cover all the
shelves in the house just described,
which will make more than q bushcl
Of dried fruit; and twenty tours is suili-
cicnt to dry it completely, by keeping
up q moderate fire in the stove. The
temperature in the dry house should be
about $50 deg. Fahrenheit, which is ca
silly maintained if the house is tight.
About three hundred feet of well sea-
soned boards will suffice for the whole
concern, which should be tongucd and
crowned.
A workman can make it in two or
three days, and when once made, an
swers for many important purposes
besides drying fruit; and if insects are
likely to trouble your dried peaches or
apples in the spring of year, remove
them to the dry house, and subject
them to Il heat Of about $50 deg. for
several hours, and it will cIcctually
