Aey Marriage
The Pattersen. On. ~ 0nae1ian, July l4th,
relates the following Extraordinary story:
Not ten days have elapsed since Ne publshed
marriage in our columns, while Of the pecu-
liar circumstances Of the strange wedding We
have until now been sgnosant.
A young lady OF this place went to New York
On visit, and was introduced into . family
residing on Fifth Avenue. BY rsadering her.
self affable and endearing. she was invited to
spend few days with them - welcome guest
All went smoothly, and acting with much pro.
priety and possessing much apparent sweetness
Of character, she gained the respect and corr
dence Of the whole family, and upon her
departure, invited them up to see her residence
in shis place, representing her people as liv-
ing in the first style, with every luxury about
them. She then left for Patterson after re-
csiving from them promise to return her vis-
it in very short lime.
of the family OF the Avenue, came up to Pat
terson and found the young girl at home; but
also found appearances very different from what
her descriptions had led them to anticipate. AT
night tho young gentleman suggested to his sis
ter that they should put up Ut hotel; but this
the young lady strenuously opposed and insist
ed yehemently upon their remaining at the
house, which they finally consented to do.
Bed time arrived and 18th we're shown to
their rooms. In short time after the young
man had retired, the young lady, who is the
heroine Of our story, introduced herself into
his bed chamber and passed the night there
Extraordinary as this conduct seems to have
been, it was not such an astonsher as the young
gentleman received in the morning, for he found
himself entranped, the minister present. and
fuss generally kicked up by the girls relatives.
The sister upon being informed of the true state
of the case, was highly indignant, and astound-
ed even more than the young man himself
Only one way presented itself for the young
gentleman to escape from the wrath Of the
household and the meshes Of the law. a mar
rage was quickly solemnized, he at last express
ing his willingness TO become . husband sooner
than have legal me asures resorted to. His els
ter returned to the city to acquaint the family
on the Avenue with the scrape, and the young
man, her brother, We believe, slipped off in the
next train. Nothing has been heard of the
bridegroom from that time to this; but his mo.
Their came up and visited his newly-made wife,
and after reproaching all hands for their hypoc-
risy and deception. declared her son should new
er live with the woman he had been forced to
marry, that sooner than be should see her, they
should send him as far as water would carry
him.
Thus the affair stands at present. Consider
able excitement aad great deal Of gossip has
grown out OF the affsir, and how it will end
lime alone can tell.

the repnted author Of late work entitled "Of

This Inference is shown to b. inconclusive BY
recent discovery of tho astronomer Hansci,
whose study of the moons motion, continued
Tor many years, has established the fact that
the center Of gravity OF the moon, instead Of
being like that OF the earth, at the center OF g-
ure, u beyond that centre, and farther from the

side BY seventy-four mics. The nearer side OF

IN the hope that they might be induced to erect
similar signal to apprse us OF their existence
The discovery of Hanscl shows that such an
experiment could be attended with no success,
inasmuch the inhabitants of the moon, If
there are any, being OIL the farther side, could
never see monument on the earth
II may not be embarrassing to add, that it
has been discovered, within 4 few years, by
means Of long continued, hourly observations
by the barometer, that the moon exerts an
appreciable influence on the pressure of the
atmosphere; and also by means of long-con.
tinued magnetic observations, that it cxerts an
influence on the declination OF the needle

HORRIBLE MURDER.-A murder was commit
ted last Thursday, in Henaepin county, about
SIX miles from Shakopee, the particulars Of which
reveal deliberate and cold biooded killing A
man named Harrington was living on an adioin-
ing claim with his father-in-law, whose name we
were unable to learn, in Clanhassan township,
Hennepin county, and owing TO family quarrels
of very little moment, Harrington got dislike
to his father-in-law, ard threatened, at different
times his life. On Thursday, Harrington went
to Shakopee, and drank considerable liquor, and
was carrying q gun with him. Starting for
home towards the middle OF the afternoon, he
loaded his gun, and going to his fatherin-law's
farm, found the old man at work in corn field,
and coming up to him within gun shot range,
deliberately raised his gun, took correct aim
and fired, killing the old man instantly. The
murderer fled Immediately, and has probably
made his escape out OF the territory. Several
persons are in pursuit OF him. We regret that
the ineagreness Of our information affords Us no
particulars whereby to give description Of the

We learn from gentleman who arrived last
evening from Lawrence, K. T., that Gov. Walker
has just issued Proclamation to the people Of
the Territory, and TO those Of Lawrence Ia uar-
ticular, stating that he intends to put down BY
the strong arm Of the United States govern-
ment, all efforts Or plans that may be adopted
by the people Of Kansas which are ia opposition
to the bogus laws. The people OF Lawrence
are warned against putting in force The new
charter Of that city, which they have recently
adopted; and he also reprimands them for ar-
ging other towns to adopt similar charters In
order to enforce his arguments he has called
out seven hundred United States troops, who
we're to march to Lawrence on Thursday last,
and compel submission Of the people to the
bogus laws II is the opinion Of the principal
men there, that Gov. Walker does not intend to
disturb the people, but that his desigl is to re-
tain the troops in Kansas, as it is well known
that very hostile feeling exists between him
and the leading pro-slavery democrats Others
assign the present movement as a mere pretext
for the administration to back out from the
