HuNa HERSELF FOR LovE.-We are re-
liaby informed that recently, says the Wheel
ing (va) Intelligencer, young girl named
Earlwine, whose father resides on Fish Creek
Hills, in Marshall county, committed suicide
by hanging. The cause of this carrying out
Of desperate resolve, is disappointment in
love. She obtained permission to 60 to a
clearing near her fathers house to gather
bark for kindling wood, and was observed to
take rope with her. She remained out
longer than was her custom, and search
being instituted, the unfortunate girl was
found suspended to the limb of tree-life-
less. Miss Earlwine was about 8 years Of
age. The superstitious people in the neigh
borhood would not allow her to be buried
in the churchyard, and her remains were ap-
propriately buried at the cross roads, in ac
cordance with heathenish custom and an
obsolete law.

HRAScH PESTESrIAKy.-'lhe movement
which was made during the last session of
the Legislature, in reference to the loca-
ton of branch Of the State Peniten,i-
ary at Folsom is the subject of some
remarks in the last issue of the Dispatch,
which, assigns various reasons why that
place should be selected. 1t says the in
exhaustible granite quarries Of Folsom
would furnish employment for all the
scoundrels in the State for the next GEN.
tury, and the granite, which would form
the prison wall, would set them at def.
ance and cage them completely. The Dis
patch thinks the State would derive a
large revenue from convict labor, in quarry
ing granite for city structures and govern
mont works.

EARr"auAX AXEs.-At twenty minutes past
six o'clock last evening, a severe shock
Of an earthquake was felt all over the
city. 1t was single violent shock, ac-
companicd with a noise resembling the
VIC ent slamming of a door. Another VIC ent
shock occurred at twenty mintes past one
o'clock this morning, which is supposed
to have been almost as severe as the
shock Of FEBRUARY. 1856. Besides these,
number of oscillations of the earth were
observed during yesterday afternoon and
last night. Clocks were stopped BY these
shocks, and it is said that in few in
stances, rents were made in the walls of
