Burglaries in Monmouth.

We learn that on Sunday night last, our neigh
boring city, Monmouth, was made the theatre
of the most daring series of burgIares ever COM
mtted in this region. The burglars first enter
ed the dwelling of Mr.. Draper Babcock, and,
visiting his sleeping apartment, stole his pants
containing small sum of money and a key to
the safe of the store of Babcock l. Sons They
then visited the dwelling of our friend w. F.
Smith where they obtaiued about s25 then,
the.store ofEwing & Thompson with like success;
then Mr.. Claycomb's house, where they got
about $50; then they went up stairs in Mr.
Rankin's house to where young Mr.. R. was
sleeping, and stole 500. Then the house of Mr.
Corwine. r. +. agent. Messrs Rankin, Corwine
and Babcock, we understand, were all awakened
by the burglars, but they made no efforts to
capture the thieves while in their houses, being,
perhaps, afraid they might be armed and be
disposed to use their weapons to prevent being
captured. These gentlemen, however, immedi-
ately visited their respective places of business,
and kept watch during the night. The great
haul of the night was at the Railroad Office,
where the safe lock was picked, and the sum of
Sl745 stolen! ..a
No trace of the burglars has been obtained

About O'Clock, on Tuesday morning, Mr.

who enquired the way to Warsaw; the night

MIRACULOUS EscArE.-0n Friday of last week,
as two ladies, one named Barton, the other her
sister, were attempting to cross to Goat Island,
Niagara Falls, by means Of some planks Temporal
rily placed upon the new bridge, the supporters
gave way, and they were both precipitated from
the bridge. Mrs. B. fortunately seized an iron
rod connected with the bridge, while her sister,
after vain attempts to sustain herself BY grasping
Mrs. BIS Dress was thrown into the raging waters
beneath. The plank fell with her, and after sew
eral attempts she grasped 1t. BY the mercy of
Providence the plank was thrown into the water
diagonaly with the shore, and the current, which
was bearing her SO furiously to destruction, drew
the lower end of the plank against the bank,
when several persons seized it, and after great
exertions finally drew her ashore in fainting
condition.-It was miraculous escape. Mrs.
Barton, after clinging to the rod for some time,
was lifted from her dangerous situation by some
persons who had rushed to the spot. SIS

Ewr Counting in broadway.


A very singular wedding transpired here this
week. A young and very pretty Irish girl, the
sister of one of our Common Councimen, was
walking up Broadway, New York, when she at:
tracted the attention of an elderly gentleman
OF large wealth, who had lived all bis life a
bachelor and an ascetic. Rumor says that he
was ioiled in an affair du occur, and carried
thenceforth heart impenetrable to the sweet
influences of the tender passion. Well, this
gentleman on the promenade was attracted by
this Irish girl to such degree that he arrested
his steps and ventured to address her.
"Wi you pardon the liberty, Miss, if | ask
your name?'
The girl timidly surveyed him, and apparent
ly satisfied that no mere curiosity prompted him
in the query, and that he was gentleman, she
acceded
"My name is Mary OK, SIR"
Dare ask you another question, Mary
mean Miss ok"
Proceed" she replied good humoredy
Then would like to ask you-and you will
confer an infinite obligation on me by answer
ing truly-whcther you are engaged in mar
riage to any one, or whether your feelings are
interested in any person whatever?"
The question was decidedly home one, but
there was SO kind and gentle an expression in
the old mans eye, and such an evident earnest
eANSs
"Not in the least, SIR"
"Ihen allow me without any further ceremo-
ny, to place my card in your hand, and with it
the offer of myself and fortune. Commission
any friend you please to make inquiries concer-
ming me you may deem proper, and let we know
your determination tomorrow"
The girl, overwhelmed with surprise, deposit
ed the slip OF pasteboard in her reticule and
passed on. On "Wednesday afternoon her bro.
ther called at the hotel, where her admirer re.
sided, and informed him that Mary had conclu-
ded to accept him. They were married the
same evening, at the residence of the brides
mother, and the old gentleman settled on her
100000 on the spot.
This gentleman-he would not like me to give
his name-has held great many public offices
in his time, was formerly major in the United
States army, and afterwards assistant Indian
Commissioner. His real estate in this city is
worth more than $500, 0OO-[ N. Y Paper

The thrilling cry OF Freedom rung.
And to the work Of warfare strung

Hills fang the cry to hills around,
And ocean mart replied 20 mart,
And streams whose springs were yet unbound
Pealed far away the startling sound,
Into the forests heart. m
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain swift and cold.
The border of the stormy deep,
The wales where gathered waters sleep,

Grew quick with Gods creating breath
And from the sods of grove and glen
Rose ranks of iron-hearted men,
To battle and to death. ID
The wife whose babe iirst smiled that day,
The fair, fond bride ofyester-eve,
And aged sire and matrons gray,
Saw the loved warrior haste away,
And deemed it SIN to grieve

Already blood on Concords plain
Along the springing grass had run,

Like brooks of April rain.

In fragments felled the yoke abhorred-
The footsteps of a foreign lord

Position Of the Free state men in KAN


RI But few of our READERS, We fear, appreciate
the exact condition of free state men in Kansas.
BY the devilish ingenuity of the administration,
aided and assisted by the brute force of border
ruffianisnl, they tied hand and foos, so faras
civil action is concerned, and seem to have no
redress for their wrongs unless they take up
arms in defence. GOV. Geary expects, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette ''obedience to the lars of the
"Ierritorial Legislature, until they repealed.
"This is just the turning point of the whole
cease. Those claws of the territorial legislature"
Infamous, invalid and unconstitutonal-ar
'thc cause of the whole difficulty. So long as
"they are III force, tits utterly impossible to eff
"fect their repeal. They distranchise, by their
"test oaths, every man who wishes and would
"vote to repeal them If repealed at all, it
s'must be by the Legislature. Then the legis.
hture is to be chosen in accordance with the
provisions of these very laws, and one of them
sis that no, man shall pote or be eligible to office,
"Who aoiU not take an, oath to sustain them. What
ga mockery is it, therefore, for Gov. Geary to
''tell the people of Kansas that these laws must
'be obeyed, until repealed !"
In the meantime, they are to be harrassed and
prosecuted with civil and criminal prosecutions
Writs, we understand, are flying thick and fast
out OF Lecomptes court, aud every man who
has raised his hands to. protect himself and his
wife and little ones from the Missouri invasion,
is threatened with the penalties of that infa-
nous code, administered by the more infamous
JEFFREYs who outrages law and detes justice at
the bidding of General Pierce. These writs
the territorial Marshal and deputies are but too
willing to serve. II, on the other hand, free
state man breaks over his resolution not to re-
cognize the validity of those laws, and applies
to the courts for redress his applications are
either denied, else the person whom he accu-
ses is privately warned Of his danger by those
near the court and before the process issues, the
offender is far away, to safe asylum in Mssou-
ri.
Thus, ridden by laws which they had no part
or lot in making, outraged by officers set over
them by the administration at Washington which
is deaf to their petitions and remonstrances,
held at bay by soldiers whose only business it
is to dragoon them into obedence,N the people
