DR.. KANE's LAST MoMENrs.-A letter from a
lady in Havana, published in the N. Y. Mirror,
gives the following account in the closing scene
in the life of the lamented hero E.'.
"The day after her sons death, Mrs. Kane
sent for Mrs. Almy. She seemed quite compo-
sed; she said she knew it would be long before
she could realize that Elisha $50 she called HIM,
was dead, for she was SO accustomed to his long
absence, she would be sure to find herself al
most expecting his return from some dangerous
expedition. She felt perfectly certain that from,
the time of his last attack, though he could
neither speak nor move, and even his eyes were
fixed, that he recognized them all; that he evi.
IDENTIFY knew his brothers voices; and she knew
by the expression of his face when she read to
him, which were his favorite Psalms and passa-
ges of Scripture; to the very last she thought
him perfectly conscious of everything that was
going on around him. Was not that comfort
for the poor mother? blessed are the dead
who die In the Lord

BARBARoUs AND INHuxAN MURDER OF CHILD
VIM. Thompson, of Randolph county, Ind,
is now confined in jail in Lebanon, Warren
county, Ohio, on charge of child murder. A
correspondent details the following as the facts
The unmarried mother of the child, aged
nineteen, has been living in the family of the
defendant since she was four years old. Public
opinion points to the defendant as the father of
the child. Some four wesks before its birth she
was removed by the defendant to Paris, Preble
county, Ohio, where the child was born on the
llth of February last 'Onthe 4th Of March the
defendant removed the mother and child, and
took them to Union Village, Warren county,
Ohio. with the intention of giving the child to
the Shakers, who declined taking it on account
of it's age. The defendant returned TO Carlisle
Station, on the Cincinnati aud Dayton. Railroad,
| on the evening of the 5th inst, where they had
to wait for the cars from 6 to S:l5 p. M. While
at the station the mother and child we're par
ticulaIiy noticed by several persons. When
they left no person noticed whether they took
| the child with them or not. They proceeded to
Dayton, where they staid all night. When they
arrived at DAYTON they had NO child with them.
| The mother appeared to be in great trouble and
wept bitterly, which vas noticed by the agent at
the depot, and also at the Anthony House, where
they stopped for the night of Thursday, the 5th.
On the Saturday following, the child was found
I in corn.feld about three hundred yards from
the depot 1t Carlisle Station, carefully wrapped

Scene of the 1aaiIreat. disaster.
H.. "A L., n D.

The interest attached to the locality of the late
accident at Des Jariines Canal was this day re-
newed by the raising of the submerged engine,
and the testing of the bridge which is now re-
paired.
The engine was raised by pulcs and derricks
to the top of the water, and showed the forward
wheel of the engine, on the right side, broken
off. From the position of the engine as it lay
on its side on the bottom of the canal, it seems
quite impossible that the wheel was broken by
the fall. Everything goes to show that the axel
was broken either on the bridge or very near it,
and that the breaking of the bridge was from
the conclusion which ensued.
The bridge was tested with 8 heavy English
engines, and there was hardly the slightest vi
bration perceptible. - .----l

Thisis matter which will exercise very con-
siderable influence upon business and trade. The
money expended along the line Of Railway viii

| very considerable home market for our pro-
duce and provisions. Farmers viii thus get good
returns for their labor, and mechanics and la
boring men win find abundance of work at good
wages. From Burlington to Glenwood new
lands viii have to be brought under cultiva-
ton, houses and barns, churches and school
houses, towns and villages be. built, and the
Industrious and frugal viii every where meet

their time comes. Of course, any measure cal 4
oulated to develop the resources Of the State,
like the building of our Great Western road,
viii, as a matter of course, excite and foster
spirit Of speculation. The rapid advance of lands
from ten shillings to ten dollars acre in value
in a year or two or three is well calculated to
set men to specializing. And it is o fact to De
regretted that hundreds and thousands have not
only all their means, but all they can borrow, at
enormous interest, invested in lands and lots
upon speculation. The building of this Road, in
the prompt and energetic manner proposed, viii
doubtless make many of these speculations pro-
6table and encourage thousands to go still deep
er into speculation, until crash hurries to
destruction. But nothing short of total and
aud complete wreck Of all resources and credits,
present and prospective, will ever sober these
individuals down to the mode of earning i've
lihood decreed against Adam and his descend
ants, and cure them of mania which has be
come chronic. aesSs
We contend that this spirit of speculation is
not a complaint incident and peculiar to the cha
raeter Of the Western people, but that it is caused
by rapid and real advances in property, after
wards inflated into imaginary and fictitious pri-
ces. Many sober.minded persons have viewed
the great West and been highly pleased with it.
But they have seen the spirit of speculation
manifested, and concluded we were in a transit
ton state and gone back to old fogy-dom to
await general crash. zf a7 s
Now if we are wise we shall avoid this crash.
There is no need of it. Let US keep out of debt.
There is the danger. Let US neither go in debt
for goods nor for lands, nor lots, nor houses nor

1t is rumored that Mr.. Boxer, whose daughter
married his coachman, Dean, attempted to send
her to Europe on the Persia, this morning
Dean learning this intention, last night applied
to Capt. McGee, of the 10th ward, who called
upon Mr.. Boxer and told him he could not be
permitted to carry such purpose into execu-
ton He declared his determination to do so,
in no mild terms, when the Captain, called an
adequate police force to his assistance, and
watched the premises through the night. ess
Itwas reported that Mr.. Boxer had been try
ing TO induce Dean to go 10 Europe, and to con-
sent to permanent separation from his wife,
but without success. This Dean is quite mod
est, brisk, bright looking youth of sorne twenty
years of age. He has slight brougue, and q
decidedly red face. But there ia no occasion
for calling him either an adventurer ora villain
his soul faults being birth, poverty and love.
