The THKArRK.-Pretty and sparkling Maggie

once her accustomed success; her fascinating
sway was acknowledged by the very fine audi
ence present, with a warmth and fuIness which
few II any other artistic In her line eould have
extorted. Miss Mitchell is decidedly the most
attractive actress in the peculiar role she essays
now before the country; her exceeding personal
American audience; but, to rare beauty, she adds
abilities Of the most brilliant order and viva
city, archness, and abandon OF style, wholly IT.

satisfaction, and twice was she summoned before

STRANGE DENoUEMESr.-The Terre Haute
papers of Saturday, contain the following
account Of a sad disappointment:
1t appears that a certain young gentleman
had become enamored of the charms of a
blushing young widow, and the flame being
mutual, they concluded to try the time-hon-
ored custom of getting married, and yester-
day was the day fixed upon for the ceremony.
The company was assembled, the bride was
arranged in brilliant costume, and every
thing prepared for "the corning Of the bride
groom" but they waited vain. He came
not. Messengers were sent to make inquir-
les, and they were told that the gentleman
had packed up and left the city, the night
before, for parts unknownl We give the
statement as we heard it, without vouching
for the facts. The affair has created no lit
tie excitement among the curiesity-mongers,
as both parties occupy respectable positions
in society.

The CASUALTY At RocKPoRr.-The DEM
oeras Of Saturday, says there were four in
stead of two children, in the house that was
blown off the bluff on Thursday night. 1t
says, Hthe house was blown over the rock,
and falling about seventy-6ve feet was liter
ally mashed to pieces, and horrible to relate,
Mrs. Glensbeckle was killed out right, and
her four little children were all more or less
msngied, bait not killed, though ii is thought
one or two of them will die The accident
occurred about ten O'Clock, p. NJ. and soon
after the alarm was given the citizens
rushed to the scene of disaster, and rescued
the little sufferers from among the rubbish
and tinbers. 1t is a wonder that the chill
dren were not all killed. The house stood
on stills As it were upon the very edge OF
the rock, and the wind must have lifted i;
up aad turned it bottom upwards, as i,
seemed to strike upon the roof. Its thought
that Mrs. Glensbeckel and her children wer,
in bed and asleep at the time of the awfu
occurrence.
