and Of his anxiety to raise money to purchase her

crat, bearing the intelligence that BARNS was a
gross impostor having hastily left Ravenna, where
he had done n good business at begging. AS
soon as possible, in company with DR.. Winery
and others, We traced the scamp to the Depot,
where he had already purchased his ticket, and
was waiting for the train, which was already in
sight, to take his departure. lie trembled in his
very boots, as his rascality was reheatsed to him,
and when Mr.. HALLS letter was read for his espe.
cial benefit, he became entirely too much agitated
to enjoy its contents, although it was news from n
former acquaintance. lie was made to refund
the money he had collected in this place, and the
names of the donors were marked out of his sub.

hollow cheeks, large eyes, very black, wears
whiskers and mustuchios, converses readily, and

TEE FREE FIGHT.

We do not often entertain our readers with feats
of the ring. But as the Congressional fight prov.
ed so extremely comic. we add the following more
detailed account. The Southerners seem to take
the result with better humor than though Grow
had proved a spaniel, instead of showing true
grit. "A Southern Senator" says the Tribune.
remarked yesterday that the Republicans had
gained the first battle, since they drew the frs,
blood (Keitt's) and got the first scalp (Barksda!e's
wig)

don't you 20 over on your own side, God d-n
you, if you want to object? What business have
you on this side, any how or something to
to that effect.
Mr.. Grow replied, quietly and cool.y, saying,

nlisfcllaneolls Summary.

A SUMMARY PRocEss.-On Monday last, Mayor
Hamilton and Richard II. Garrigues found a keg
of whiskey in a house where it was suspected the
article had been furnished to some of our topers.-
The custodians gave it up in &C celebration of the
assurance that by so doing they would purchase
immunity from prosecution. 1t was taken outside
of the door, and the head knocked iu, amid the re-
grots and dismay of the lovers of its contents. We
are sorry to say that from occasional appearances
In our streets this was not the only keg about
town, worthy of similar treatment.
By the way. we heard tho other day Of a grand
temperance movement, in prospect, in town. We
hope it may be pushed forward. We need its in

The Mississippi IS rising from St. Paul

We have received the first number Of the
Enlarged Series of The Living Age" issued
on the Sd of this month. The Age" is
enlarged to eighty pages, containing the
choicest matter furnished BY the foreign
Reviews, Magazines and literary Miscella-
MES. There is surely no other Weekly in
Europe or America, that presents such rich
literary feast as this publication Of Little,
Son 4 Company. Even in our day Of
wonders in the progress of the printing art
it strikes us with surprise to see such work.
A Magazine of eighty pages every week,
redolent Of the fresh spirit and aroma of all
the distinguished mon,hlies Of the world,
printed on superb paper and with beautiful
type is certainly something SUI generis. The
price OF the work is six dollars per year.
We find among our exchanges this week
a new conner entitled "The South Western
Baptist" published at Tuskegee, Alabama,
and edited by S. Henderson and II. E. Tai
iaferro. 1t is large and handsome sheet
we'll filled with original and selected matter,
free from the intolerance frequently charged
against the religious press, as arising from
sectarian bias. We bid welcome to this
respectable weekly, conducted in part, as we
notice, BY our namesake, and as We doubt
not, our kinsman. The Baptist chronicles
the progress Of the great religious revival
that is now attracting such deep interest in
the minds of every one, "baptised or infdel.' y
1t is truly wonderful work, and, in no
spirit of irreverance, we hope "it will come
hither Also"

SHOCKING TERMINATION OF LOVE AFFAIR.
On Saturday last, Robert Schmidt, of The
resa, in Dodge county, Wisconsin, shot down
in the street of that place, Harriet Seidler, n
young lady about twenty years of age. The
parties were engaged to be married about
one year ago, and Schmidt had come over
from ST. Paul, Van Buren, county. Michigan,
where he had resided about year, to fulfill
the engagement; but the parents of the
young lady objected to the marriage, in con-
sequence Of which it was arranged between
the lovers that Schmidt should first shoot
the young lady and then shoot himself. He
executed bis design so far as the young lady
was concerned, but failed to shoot himself,
on account of the loss of the cap on the gun.
After failing in this, he ran and threw
himself into the river, with the intention to
drown himself, but was rescued by persons
who saw him. He is now arrested and
awaits trial. The charge-which was fine
shot-entered the left breast of the young
lady, and Inflicted horrible wound, Of
which she expired on Sunday morning, about
2 O'Clock. She had her senses up to the
last, and charged her parents with being re-
sponsibe for the awful deed, and acquitted
her lover of all blame. The parties, as their
names indicate, were Germans.-Da6uque
