AN INSANE LADY IN THE ssow-We copy the
following from the Albany Evening Journal of Friday
last:
female apparently fifty years Of age yesterday
found sitting in the snow at Waterford, with shawl
about her feet She taken in and is now being cared
for by humane persons in that village At times she
is quite rational but it is only for few moments, when
the maady returns She then places her hands upon her
head If she aborpg under much pain. We learn
from gentleman who has endeavored to ascertain her
name and place Of residence that her maiden name Is
Catharne Baily and that she married to William
Wood. When the way from Pttsburg, Pennsylvania,
to Middetown Connecticut whittier they we're going to
visst some friends her husband taken sick upon the
cars when between Philadelphia and New York. and they
were obliged 10 stop and that he died within four hours
after leaving the of hemorrhage of the lungs After
his burial the earnest solicitation of the landady where
she was stopping, her trunks containing clothing
silver spoons which she intended presents to her friends
and her deceased husbands watch placed in the
hands of this stranger.
aWhen they reached Greenbush, this gave her to
understand that he wanted to do business but that
he would return to her. She next remembers Of being In
Troy where she parted with her velvet bonnet for straw
one and her cloak for shawl and fifty cents but she
does not recoect what became of the money She next
turns up in Waterford but how abe got there
tell The most prominent mark upon her person 10 scar
about the of her forehead which she says she
ceived youth She says that she has son by the name
of Mills residing in Cleveland Ohio, and speaks Of living
in the New England Hotel in that place. few humane
persons have taken charge Of her for the present in the
hope that her friends upon ascerainng her wheFeabons
will that she is cared for She appears to be very
spectacle and quite adyke in her and converse
ton Those DESTROYS OF obtaining any further information
will address the postmaster at Waterford Saratoga coun
ty, New York.

There is no foundation whatever for the prstense
set I'D in several quarters, that the Kansas question
is settled. The progress Of Kansas toward peace,
ouietpess and freedom has all along been very much
like that Of the aritbmetcsl frogs out of the we'll
who for every three leaps forward took at least two
backward. The Ftee-State men have recently made
a decided advance, BY demonstrating beyond al
csvi their great superiority in numbers. But
whether that demonstrated superiority will be
allowed 10 avail them 20 far as legislation is con.
cerped is question that still remains TO be settled.
Governor Walker has at last, in spite all bis
struggles and efforts to the contrary, been forced to
place himself in the same position which proved 90
fatal to his predecessors, Reeder and Geary. Like
them. he was cent into Kansas to curse the Free
State meu and blast all their efforts for Freedom;
ike them, he has been obliged 20 substitute instead,
his testimony to the wrongs attempted against the
State men, and to the frauds and usurpatiOns of
their opponents. With the fate Of his two prede.
cessors before his eyes, Walker-we must give him
that credit-bas made every possible effort to
escape the rock upon which they split. Neverthe-
lsss the force Of undeniable facts has proved too
strong for him; ard, in spite Of all he could do to
avoid t. he finds himself, just as Reeder and Geary
found themselves, though bya shorter process, in
pe with the Free State men, and in bitter hostility
to their opponents.
Already We hear from Kansas that his personal
.afety is threatened BY the infuriated Border Ruf
fans, Just as happened under similar circumstances
to Reeder and Gesy. Having lost for the moment
The airport Of the Executive, the Border Raffians
have fallen back on the Territorial Judiciary just
As they did on former occasions. Already we hear
frsm washington, ju't as happened to Reeder and
G.ary. rumors that Walkers conduct is not sp-
proved. and that he will be speedily removed from
office or compelled to resign.
Men of New-York, friends Of Kansas and Free.

There are at least Half Million people doing
business in or frequently trading with this City who
reach it over the Harlem or New. Haven Railroad
and to whom the saving or less Of half On hour

these roads at Fort, second street and have them
drawn by horses through the losg tunnel, and 80
down TO Twenty. sixth street. As one Of the desg-
mated suft rers and 10 behalf Of the whole Of them
