EmeuIe.

The pleasant village of Ludlow, in
Western Massachusetts,, recently be
came scandalized by the theories Of a
free-loye circle being carried to their
practical results. A Mr.. Olvord, Of
Springfield, prafessed to have a com
m%unication from his deceased wife,
announcing the agreeable intelligence
that her spirit had taken possession
of the body of a Mrs. Clark, of Lud-
low. Mr.. Clark, who was also a spir-
itualist, at once surrendered his mari
tai rights with a facility and prompt
ness, which, under ordinary circum-
stances, would have been slightly sus-
picious, into the hands Of the obliging
Mr.. Olvord.
Common scandal also named a sis
ter of Mrs. Clark as a participant in
these left-banded and Irregular nup-
tials. On Sunday evening last, the
neighbors, having become inccnsed
at the conduct of the " circle, came
down with the design to break it up.
Its spiritual high,prieSt was treated to
a coat Of tar and feathers and a free
ride out of town. The females whose
had yielded to their faith, also
received warning to leave. ChrOni-

The Senate passed the House bill

The Senate passed the House bill
compelling witnesses to testify, &c
Three only voting against it. The
debate was animated and %long.contin-
ued. The friends of the measure
pressed its necessity in order to pre-
serve the honor ofthe members from
the grave charges, the present laws
being insufficient to punish witnesses
for contempt.
The minority maintained that the
bill was a fragrant violation ofthe con-
stitutional rights of American citi-
zens.
During a general debate Mr.. Hale
said if Congress should make this is
sue with the newspaper reporter who
is now in custody, or even with O

have the public sympathy whether he

~ An unconstitutional law was
passed by the Legislature, last winter,
which prohibited in effect, the con-
struction of the Hooking Valley Rail
road to the Ohio River. Its passage
was procured by q combination ofrail-
road interests, on the Ct you-tickle-me.
and.lll-tickle-yOu system. The law
operates to the benefit exclusively OF
tho Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad
Company, and to the material injury
of other people. Numerous petitions
have been presented to the Legisla-
tnre for its repeal, and, we learn, that
circumstances against its repeal are
ROW in circulation in this county. We
hope nobody is green enough to sign
them--no Democrat, at least. A Re-
publican might, for the only reason
that the said circumstances contain q
snccr at Virginia railroads, which
was inserted, doubtless, for the espe-
cial purpose Of catching Republican
signatures. If the Marietta Railroad
Company must have relief, it ought
not to receive it by a palpable viola
ton Qfthe Constitution and an unjust
enereachment upon the rights of other
companies as meritorious as ITSELF
We have ne interest, except that conf
monty felt forthe triumph of justice, in
opposing this measure ; but we do not
wish the impression to get abroad that
the the people ofthis county ever ask
cd for or expected it, Or that they do
not now desire its repeal.

The Great SnOw-StOTm---Unpre-

SOuChAtSu VIVA OAAtH~A az eAAO
East.
We received last night New York
papers of Tuesday, the first that have
come through in some days. They
are mostly taken up with accounts OF
terrible weather at the East. The
Tribune Of the goth says:
The terrible storm which began
here on Sunday afternoon continued
with uneXampled violence until last
night. 1t also extended for a great
distance in every direction, reaching,
from the sea board to the lakes, ands
from the Potomac to Canada. The
cold Of Sunday we think has not been
equaled, in this region at least, within
the present century: All along the
northern frontier the mercury went
down ten, twenty and thirty degrees
below zero, and at W~atertown, in this
State, the quicksilver froze up at thir-
~ty-seven below, while a spirit ther.
mometor marked forty degrees below
zero, or SeUenty-tWO degrees below the
freezing point. The oldest inhabit.
ant" is beaten at last. He cannot re-
call the equal of theteold Sunday of
1857. In and around this city the
snow began to fall on Sunday after.
noon, and continued with little inter.
mission until Monday evening. The
depth cannot be ascertained because
Of the drifting, but would probably be
at least a foot. No Railroad trains
arrived or departed yesterday, conse.
quentlyn no mails were received. Har.
Dor navigation is difficult and danger.
Gus, while the Sound is completely
shut up. The ferries work slow and
irregularly, in consequence of floating
ice. We hear of some wrecks and loss
of life on the Jersey coast, but, having
no reliable communication, are unable
to give particulars, 1t is more than
probable that we shall have terrible
accounts in a day or two. As We
write, at eleven o'clock on Monday
night, the sky is clear, the wind resi-
but not very heavy, and the temperaI
ture reasonably up. aod

Later from Nicaragua.

The steamship James Adg0r arriv-
ed this evening, with dates from San
Juan to 18th. She was compelled to
put into Key West, and was detained
there tbirty-two hours.
The purser reports that the cholera
had disappeared on the Isthmus.
But little sickness and no deaths on
the Adger during her passage.
The sloop-of-war Cyane was still at
ASpinwall.
Walker is reported to be in a better
condition having twelve hundred able.
bodied men with him at Rivas, and
was well supplied with ammunition
and provisions.
Col. Lockridge, with 300 men, was
still awaiting at Punta Arenas for the
completion of the steamer, which
would probably be ready about the
18th.
The Adgor encountered great fields
Of ice in her homeward passage, be-
tween latitude 81 and 80.
The passengers by the 4ddger give
gloomy accounts ofWalker's situation.
The seizure of the transit route and
steamboats, by Spencer, is confirmed.
Spencer states openly that he acted
in behalf Of Vanderbilt. No injury
was offered to the passengers on board
the captured boats, but they we're es-
cOrted to Greytown, where the steam
er was boarded by officers from a Brit
ish man-ofwar, who ordered the bag
gage Of the men to be put offimmedi-
ately. Spencer kept the American
flag flying from his steamer, although
he made the capture in the name of
Costa RIGA.
President Mora, ofthe Costa Rican
Government, had issued q proclama-
ton granting pardon to Walkers
men, and free passes back to the
States. Many Of Walkers men, both
officers and privates, were d~eserting.-
They all tell hard stories of their suf-
terings from hunger and sickness.
Walker was still at Rivas, with 600
men. Another account says 1900.
Spencer states that the Costa Ri
cans have 1900 troops posted along
the route. They are also in strong
force at Seraqui, and have guns plan.
ted on both shores.
The report hal Gen. IIenningsen
had fought his way from Granada and
joined Walker, is confirmed; as also
the report that Gen. Chiffon, with a
large body of men, had pronounced
for Walker at Leon.
Walker, it is said, retook Rivas
without loosing a man.
Captain Saunders, with his Rifles,
had advanced to Leon to occupy that
post.
The foreign dispatch is made up
from the statement ofseveral returned
Nicaraguans, who give very conflict
ing stories.
