relates the particulars of case in which new

question was stalwarth young rustic who was
known as . formidable operator in a free fight.
His bride was a blooming and beautiful young

twain were At a party where number of young

Of sullen dissatisfaction. They mistook the
cause of his anger, however, for suddenly he
expressed himself.
Rolling up his sleeves, he stepped into the mid
die of the room, and in tone of voice that Sc

CHURCH BURNED-Yesterday afternoon about
81 o'clock, carpenter shop adjoining the Sec.
ond byterian-Church, on Iowa street below
Fifth, caught fire, and in few minutes the
flames communicated to the church building,
which was speedily burned down. The building
was,a neat frame, of good size, and was erected
this last fall, the inside work having just been
completed. The congregation had expended all
their means in putting up this building, and its
destruction will be deeply felt by them. The de-
structon was SO speedy that even had we been
provided with good fire apparatus, the building
could scarcely have been saved by any possibili-
ty. We hope The congregation may soon, by
the liberal aid of their friends be able to repair
the mischief by the erection of new house OF
worship.-Dav. GaZ, Jan. 9.

A Marvellous Story.

The Lockport N. Y. Republic has the follow
ing, which comes under the headvof marvellous,
if true:"
About three years ago, girl was walking on
the beach of the lake, north of this place with
young man, to whom she related wonderful
dream of the previous night, in which it was re-
vealed to her that she should find a large sum
upon the shore. The young man was to have
half for assisting her in the search. Directly
they came to dead body, which, from its ap-
pearance, and the size Of. the head, (nearly as
large as bushel basket) had evidently been in
the water for some time.
At the sight, they both tainted away. but soon
| recovered, and venturing to examine 1t, dscov-
cred about it belt, containing large package
of money in bills-this they counted and found
tue amount as stated.
They buried the body to prevent discovery,
and also the money, which they agreed not to
disturb for three weeks. AT the expiration OF
the time, the young man returned TO the place
| the money was missing. His companion &C.
knowledged she had taken it, and would take
care OF it until he was twenty, which would be
in three years.
| As the time has expired, he demands his half,
which she answers by denying the whole state
ment The young man tells friend, it spreads
like wild6re Report says large company OF
men, armed with spades and shoyels, are to-day
looking for the bones of the buried stranger
The excitement has been very much increased
by the fact that propeller was wrecked three
| years ago, and that gentleman, supposed to
be Spaniard, stranger to the passengers who
were saved, was lost.
Some parties, formerly rather hard up, report
says, have been very flush of late, specializing
very largely in real estate and makinga great
show generally. ~
LATER-We just learn that bones answering
to the fact of the burial, have been discovered
in the woods, about mile from the beach.

dent resulting from the explosion ola fluid lamp.
The lamp was upon table around which the
family of Mr.. Busher were sitting, and sudden
ly exploded, the fluid first falling upon the arms
and side of a little girl. The mother seized the
child to save it, when her own garments took
fire. A little boy of 8 years took the child and
threw her out of the door into the snow, saving
her life, hut burning his own hands. A twin
brother of the boy also had his hands burned by
trying to save their mother. Mrs. Busher at
length succeeded in extinguishing the flames
about herself, but not till she was dreadfully
burned-Nil Sentinel

ALARMIxs Observation-Disclosures cor
respondent Of that sweet.tempered, conserva-
tive journal, the New Orleans Delta, writes that
slavery is fast dying out in that district. Where
six yesrs ago, there were 5000 slaves TO 5000
FREQ blacks, there were now only 1000 to l2 900
free men. While the number Of slaves has di-
minished one-half, the free population has in
creased four fold. In word, the district is fast
degencrating toward freedom. which causes the
correspondent incxprcssible pain. If Congress
does not specially legislate on the subject he
fears that when the census Of 1860 is taken
there viii be no slave pens. no whipping posts,

MARKETS.
Review of the Burlington Market.

Review of the Burlington Market.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING MONDAY, P. NJ.
The saughtering season is over and pork
houses closed. The number of hogs slaughtered
here is not half as large as last year, and will
not probably go much above twenty-five thou
sand, against sixty-ive thousand last year. We
have not ascertaned the number forwarded by
Railroad, but think it will be about thirty thou
sand The falling off is partly owing to fall
ing off in the crop, and partly owing to the
fact that drovers we're last year showed in here,
where, packing houses being crowded, they
could neither forward by Railroad nor slaugh-
ter, our road being blocked by snow. Many of
them took other routes. Those that drove to
Iowa City, found them in a worse predicament
this season, that road being blocked with snow,
while our road remained clear up to this writing.
They have probably ere this ascertained that
Burlington is really the best point in the State,
both for slaughtering and forwarding, either
East or South.
