A Brr or RoxAxcE-Quite little buzz has
of late been moving about in the generally
quiet town of Reading. IL seems that young
lady, q little above the manageable age Of
twenty, a resident OF New York, of good family
and said to be worth the snug little sum Of $780,
O0O--someihing worth possessing-took it into
her precious noodle that she would patrouize the
newspapers, and advertise for . husband, she
believing in that MODE, which, Of course, che
had a right to do. Among the answers to her
proposals was one from journeyman cord
wainer of Reading She took his proposition
kindly, and forthwith packed Up and came this
way to see the piucky youth. Immediately
upon her arrival in the village, the Whereabouts
of the son Of Crispn, she installed herself in the
snug aud cosy hotel there, and placed herself
under the care Of the good landlord Klborn,
and then sent for the aforesaid youth, who forth
with responded TO her call and appeared before
her ladyship. The young man, il is said, has
little tinge q verdancy about him, but the lady
seems disposed to overlook this defect, and it is
thought, by appearances, that the youagster
has, or is last finding Iavor in the strange Ia

The DANGER OF UsINs LETTER ENyELoPEs.-
A correspondent Of the Boston Advertiser men.
tons the following instance as showing that the
modern convenience of envelopes requires to
be used with caution:
t.Many years ago the mails to and from Eag-
land were conveyed in small brigs in pay of
the British Government, which touched on their
passage at Halifax and Bermuda; and during
this arrangement party on this side RENTED,
with his own endorsement, bill OF exchange
to his consIgnor in England, which was protest.
ed for non acceptance or non payment, forget
which. When payment was demanded here
the endorser refused, on the ground OF want
of seasonable notice among other reasons; and
though all Of them, except that objection, were
finally abandoned, the plaintiffs case bore
unpromlsing aspect, inasmuch rs the notices of
protes, did not reach this country for some
sixty days or more after the tact, whereas tho
New York packets had brought later dates By at
least thirty days. But the plaintiffs counsel
took the letter enclosing the protest into the
post Office, where, by the post-mark, it was
identified as having come by the aforesaid reg
u ar mail route, which fact of course settled the
business in favor OF she plaintiff. Had ala en-
veIope been used it might have been difficult,
il not impossible, for ANYBODY to have made
oath that the cover marked had contained the
protest, if indeed the envelope had been pre-
served, which is rot probable. But there was
no doubt in regard TO the contents of the let

DEMoCzArio BBurALirY.-.The othsr nish,,
when Democratic procession was passing
through the streets OF Cincinnati, cheering for
their can didate a German named Lucas stepped
TO his own door the procession passed, and
gave a hurrah Tor The Republican candidate
Thereupoa Democra; liz the procession left the
ranks and plunged knife in the bowels OF
Lucas from which stab hs died in few hours
The Times says this brutal murder has pro-
duced great excitement among the Germans.
The same paper states that as Il Democratic
procession was passing the corner OF Vine and
Sixth streets Oh Monday evening, boy of Is,
on the curbstone, cheered Tor the Republican
candidate, whereupon an ltishmaD, who was
carrying Transparency in the procession, lett
the ranks and knocked the boy down with the
transparency, aud then began kicking the child,
and when Mr.. Leonard went to the boys res
cue, the lrishman Knocked him down with =
slung shot. Thea commenced an iDciscriminate
onslaught from those who composed the pro-
cesson upon the bystanders, but the arrival OF
the police restored order. The Times says
Conspicuous in the disturbance was Brigadier-
General Sergeant, who raved and cursed ike a
mad bull" That is Democracy.
SINGULAR PRE EMINENT AND REsULT.-The
Cincinnati Gazette relates the singular freak
of a lady Just returned TO that city from visit
to Europe, by which she lost her money and
iewelry but saved her lite. Before the sailing
of the Inflated Austria the lady sent the money
to the agent at Hamburg to secure passage |
and good state room. On her arrival, she
found the vessel SO crowded and her room so |
distasteiUl, that she concluded to take another |
steamer to New York. The agent would not |
refund the money, but still she took passage |
in another vessel. So impressed was she alter
she had done so, that some terrible calamity
would befall the steamer she had chosen, that
she sent her watch, iewelry, &C., in casket by
the Captain OF the Austria to her triend- in
this country. The result was that she lost
her passage money aud Jewel.y, but saved her
life.
