The Lafourche Union, Of Thursday last, has the
following:
The storm Of wind and rain, with thunder and
lightning. on Saturday night, 18th inst, was one OF
those semi phenomena that even philoso-
pher would rather read about than witness whilst
the quantities OF snow and ice on Monday and Tues
day must have been immense-in the neighborhood
of the North Pole. We judge from the temperature
of the wind which reached us from that quarter.
The Lafourche is in splendid boating order for the
largest craft the water being up TO the top OF the
banks. The Batey and Clark still make their weekly
trips to and from New Orleans with full cargoes OF
sugar, molasses, moss, provisions and building ma
terials.
With the bridge nearly completed and the railroad

spread herself in the way Of Improvements
ing like hoop-shooting upward like green corn.
A few months hence, walk through Main street,
from St. Philip to jackson, will dispe all ideas of
country village and will enable us to realize the pro-
gress Of the times The best of all is that the pro-
ected improvements are to be entirely OF brick and
mortar.
The Greensburg Imperial, of Saturday last, says:
The weather for the past week has been most de-
liphtful Just the kind to bring the growing crops
rapidly forward. The nights, though cool, bring
heavy dews with them, and the days are pleasant.
Should the present fine weather continue, we may ex-
pect to hear less gloomy and more encouraging ac-
counts from the farmers than heretofore, though we
expect to hear loud complaints against the grass.
There has been q decided improvement in the crops
the past week.
The Jackson Parish Herald says that the weather
in that region during the latter part Of the month
has been very variable alternating from hot to cold
and stormy to mild.

Suicide Of q Philadelphia Lady


Ono Of the most distressing cases Of
suicide that we have ever recorded, oo-
CURED, yesterday afternoon, at tho resi-
dence Of DR.. Smith, near Linglestown, in
this county. The unfortunate victim
was young, handsome aud highly ac-
complished female, from the city Of Phii-
adelphia, named Miss Anna Buckman.
aud the apparent cause for tie commiss-
ion Of the rash deed was misplaced con-
idence in one Of her opposite sex.
From what we can gather Of the par
tioulars Of this sad case, ii appears that
Miss Buchanan arrived in Harrisburg
about three weeks ago, for the purpose OF
paying some money in at the State Luna
tic Hospital in behalf Of one OF its inmates.
During her stay in this city she lodged
in the White Hall Hotel, in Market street
until about n week since, when she re-
ceiyed on invitation to spend d few weeks
with the family Of DR.. Smith, that gentle
man having been acquainted with her in
Philadelphia. During her stay with
that family. and indeed from hcr first ar
rival In this city, her actions and features
denoted that she was laboring under
a great depression OF spirns, which so far
affected her health that she at last became
unable to leave her bed. In this state.
during temporary absence Of the Doc
tor, she BY some means procured a guam
tity Of arsenic, which she swallowed, aud
yesterday aiternoon,- became a corpse ~
Information Of the circumstances was
immediatly transmitted to Coroner Barr
Of our city, who proceeded, al noon 10 the
residence Of DR.. smith. for the purpose Of
holding apost-mortem examination Of tho
remains.

The St. Louis Republican has accounts
from the rear detachment Of the expedi-
tion to Utah. They were in camp at
Blue River for the night, one hundred
and thirty-four miles from Fort Leaven-
worth. Up to that point the march had
been very pleasant-the weather being
very fine and the road excellent. The
military force was under the command Of
that veteran officer, Col. Cooke, and mum
bered about four hundred priyates, mount
ed, and eighty wagons. The Governor
aud suite have six wagons and three car
riages. II was expected that all the gem
tlemen composing the civil government
would 90 out with this escort, but only
Governor Cumming and Secretary Har-
nett were with il. Judge Aikers aud the
Postmaster at Salt Lake City had gone
ahead, and it is feared that the Others
will not be able to reach the Territory
before tho coming winter. The Utal
expedition is likely to cost the Govern
ment pretty penny, but twill be none,
we'll spent. The mules. il is estimated
cost S2l 0 each, and the horses $780,
The corn stores at Blue River cost S3 Il
per bushel, and the transportation to For
Kearney and Fort Laramie viii inoreas
in the same proportion.

Jonathan and his Bride at Fash
iOnable Hotel.

Az one Of our fashionable hotels, the
other day, among the arrivals was one Of
the genus verdsnt--a regular no-mistake
Jonathan--with eyes wide open at the
novelties he met aJ every turn. He had
brought with him his better-half, a strap
ping, faxen-haired lass, bedecked with a
profusion Of ribbons aud cheap jewelry.
They had evidently "come down" to
spend the honey moon, and Jonathan had
no doubt "darned the expense"
The first morning after their arrival, the
servant was thrown into Mysteries by a
verdant mistake. Jonathan's bell rung
furiously, and he demanded TO see the
landlord. The functionary having made
his appearance, he was hailed with

Nothing further occarred until the hour

having burnt his throat by drinking his
coffee TO hot, and attempted to help him
self to an omelete with his fingers, finally
had his attention attracted to some FISH
balls, which are, as everybody knows,
fish and potatoes mixed together, rolled
into balls about as largo as an ordinary
sized apple, and cooked brown.
Having procured the dish that con
tained them, by means Of servant, he
helped himself and partner 70 one each,

Town Making

A gentleman recently teturned from the
west, relates that in setting out early in
the morning from the place where he had
passed the night, he consulted his map Of
the country, aud finding that very con
siderable town, called Vienna, occupied a
point of his road, but some l2 or 10
miles Off concluded to journey as far as
that place before breakfast Another e.
qualy extensive town, bearing as sound
ing a name, was laid down at convent
ent distance for his afternoon stage, and
there he proposed halting for the night.
He continued TO travel at a good round
pace until the sun had risen high in the
heaven, and until he computed that he
had accomplished more than twice or
thrice the distance he had proposed to
himself in the outside. Still he saw no
town before him, even of the humblest
kind, much less such magnificent one
as his map prepared him to look for. At
length, meeting a solitary wooc chopper
emerging fromthe forest, he eaccosted him,
and asked how far it was to Vienna.
Wiennal' exclaimed the man, why,
you passed it fve-and-twenty miles back.
Did you notice a stick of timber and a
bIazed tree beside the road? That was
VienIq.'
The dismayed traveller enquired how
far it was TO the other place, at which he
designed passing the night.
why, you are right at that place now,
returned the man; ''it begins just on the
other side Of yon rayine, and runs down
to a elump Of girdlOd trees, which you
will see about mile farther on the road
Aud are there no houses built? fall
tered out the traveller.
-Oh, no houses Whatsomever,' returned
the woodsman; they hewed and hauled
the logs for a blaeksnith's shop. but BE-
fore tkey raised Il tie toi0R lots tOsre all dts-
po9sd Of IN t6e Eastern States, and every
rything has been left, just as you see il,
