an Epidemic IN the Cowt,y,-A singu-
lar fever, which has been prevailing so IA
tally for nearly year, at Peterstown, Giles
county, Va, has become more violent
Forty additional cases are announced. The
editor of the Advocate has visited the
doomed neighborhood, and says: A more
desolate looking place we have never visit
ed Nearly every business establishment
in the place was closed, and only an occa-
sional female form, dressed in the sombre
habiliments of mourning, was to be seen.
The graveyard which we visited in the
neighborhood was fearful confirmation OF
the sad reports which have been in circu-
lation There was many a mound of fresh
earth-alas, too many to allow for mo-
ment the consoling hope of the exaggera-
ton usual in cases of such general distress.

The Eorthen Ease Dodge.-A new
swindling dodge has lately come to light in
Albany, which the shopkeepers here will
do well to beware Of A young lady there
entered a grocery, and after taking seat
on chair near the counter, ordered a var
iety of articles, which were weighed, tied
up and handed to her by the attentive and
polite storekeeper. AS each package was
given to her, she dropped it into an earth
en- vase which she held in her lap. When
she had completed her purchases, she
placed the lid on the vase, and setting it
on one end of the counter, requested the
storekeeper to allow it to stand there for a
few minutes, while she attended to some
business in the vicinity, stating at the
same time that on her return she would
settle the bill. Shortly after her depart
ure an attendant of the store having occa-
sion to move this vase, it was found to be
considerably lighter than the number Of
articles placed in it would warrant, and on
removing the lid The secret was discovered
there was no bottom in it 1t is sup
posed that the ingenious female had u pock-
ct in the front of her dress, in which to
place the articles as they were handed to
her. 1t is needless to say that she did not
return for her vase

Curious Bigamy Case.-A Mr.. and
Mrs. Winnie, man and wife, were arrested
in Morrissania, Westchester county, n. Y.
last week, the latter charged with bigamy
and the former for aiding and abetting
the same. The woman, it seems, on the
10th July, was married to one James
Wright and her husband, Charles Winnie,
was present, consenting to the same
1t is alleged that neither of them suppos-
cd there was anything illegal in the pro-
ceedings. Winnie stated that he and his
wife had become mutually tired of each
other, and she and Wright having become
partial to one another's company, he (Win-
nie) proposed that, if Mrs. W. was agreea-
bic, Wright would take her. Mrs. ",
having consented, Winnie took advice of
constable, and Wright drew up papers
of separation, which Winnie and wife hav-
ing signed and exchanged, supposed that
they had a right to marry again as soon as
they pleased

FREE TRADE-The results of the free
trade system are palpabie. In every sec
ton of the country, manufactures, mills,
foundries and forges are standing idle, and
the workmen seeking for employment in
vain, while in the great centres of trade
money is fast accumulating; and although
it is offered at unprecedentedly low rates
fails to meet with any demand. If pro-
tective tariff could go into operation to-mor-
row, we would see its effects at once. This
unemployed capital would be in demand,
mills would be set running, forges and fur
naces would be in full blast, workmen would
be sought for at good wages, and the
whole country would be blessed with pros
perity. But under our present free trade
system, the money will be used to pay for
the imported fabrics which we should make
at home, or will pc employed in speculation
which could add nothing to the permanent
or real wealth of the country Trenton

What has James Buchanan done that
should make him worthy Of 'Steath or
oonds !s-S9naerset Democrat, July 21st
Violated by his practice every profession
ne has made since he has been in the Pres
idential chair
He commenced his Administration with
promise Of Freedom to Kansas upon his
lips, and every effort in his power has been
made to force hated slave Constitution
upon her people.
He declared open hostility to paper
currency, and few weeks afterwards had
flooded the country with "rags and lamp
black, ," without dollar in the Treasury
wherewith to redeem them
lie preached economy, and ayowed his
determination never to borrow, and yet his
Administration has been the most extrav-
a9ant, reckless and corrupt, the country ev-
er saw, and millions upon millions have
been borrowed to supply its lavish expen-
ditures.
He found full Treasury on his advent
to power, and has already rendered the
Government bankrupt.
He proclaimed that every effort of his
Administration should be lent to the sup
preston Of the slavery agitation, and the
country has been shaken from centre to
circumference by his persevering agitation
of it ever since
He professed to be opposed to Fillibus-
terism, and yet recalled the gallant Paul
ding for arresting the pirate Walker when
about carrying war and pestilenee in
to nation with whom we are at peace.
He furnished Governor Walker with
written instructions for the preservation of
the purity of the baIlot-box in Kansas, and
and turned him out of office for obeyinc
them.
He professed to be in favor of the doc
trine of popular sovereignty brief year
and yet unceremoniously takes off the
heads of all who dare support it now
He withheld troops from Utah where
he proclaimed there was war, in order to
keep them in Kansas where he insisted all
was peace.
He sells Forts at the West at a 1.-THE Of
their cost, in order to buy sites for forts in
the East at ten times their value-his cor
rupt minions in every instance poeketing
the difference.
He proscribes Douglas and his wing of
the party for holding now, the same doe
trines he himself professed to hold few
months since
He processes to be President of the coun-
try and not of party, and yet he makes
partizanship the basis of even his invita-
tions to dinner
He owes his own election solely to the
force of party nomination and drill, and
he encourages the formation of bogus tick
cts and party feuds, that rival may be de-
teated.
He pretends to have the prosperity of
the country at heart, and yet takes ne
means to have it relieved from prostration
and bankruptcy.
He proclaimed that he would be satisfied
with one term, and is bending every ener-
gy of his broken and feeble frame, and the
whole power of his Administration to buy
denomination at the hands of the South

The Peach Crop IN Maryland.-The
Elkton (Md.) Democrat says We un-
derstand that Mr.. Nathaniel Wolfe, of
Kent county, has sold the fruit of one of
his orchards on Sassafras river, for $1,000,
to be delivered upon the shore We also
understand that Mr.. Reybold, proprietor
of the Cassaday peach farm, in Sassafras
Neck, in this county, expects to realize
over $50, 900 from his orchard this season.
This would seem to indicate that there has
not been total failure of the crop, so far
as Maryland is concerned.

Reappearanee Of the Pog"e.-The
plague, after an intermission of twenty
years, has reappeared in district of the
Pasholik of Tripoli, named Bengaji, and
at last accounts was continuing to make
ravages as an epidemic. There was a
rumor that it had already reached Con-
stantinople, but for this there was no foun-
dation. The most stringent quarantine
regulations had been resorted to.
