1t seems that Mr.. Ii. w. Herbert's last wife
WIS in Indiana, preparing to obtain divorce
from him under the free and easy laws of that
accommodating State, when he killed himself
because of her. The State Journal Qndianapo'
lis of the 9th, says:
I'VE know not what light knowledge of
Mrs Herber,'s action may throw upon the sad
fate oil her husband; but, if any, it ought to be
a true light, and not a mere gossppng glim-
mer. At the time Of the suicide, she was living
in this city, having taken rooms in the Palmer
House, and had made some preliminary ar
ran ements for establishing herself here per-
manently-our law requiring residence as q
| condition OF application for relief. She had
| been here u week or two at the time OF the sui
eide, and had by her solicitor 81. w. Gordon, j
| filed petition for divorce Immediately after
reaching here. The notice requiled by the law
was published in the Journal of the 7th inst,
and news of the suicide reached here before the
term Of publication had expired. All the ne
cessary steps to secure a divorce had been ta-
ken. 1t was the knowledge of this fact that
probably determined the fatal resolution OF the
suicide. Her complaint, we believe. set forth
ill.usage aud actual violence as the chief cause
OF divorce She probably had no particular
reason to lament the death of her husband, but
a very general feeling is expressed here that
becoming sense of her situation should have re
strained some Of her public demonstrations o
Indifference. The day the news reached here
or the day after, her presence on the street,
was frequent enough to excite remark, and q
night she accompanied gentleman to the Od'
Fellows Festival, and remained for consider
able time. There was nothing improper in il
to be sure; but it did not evince exactly the de
gree of delicacy that one likes to associate will
the idea of beautiful, young and Fascinating
wo,nau"

The GREAT FLooD IN TIE ILLINOIS RIVER,
JUNE, 5s!-The river continued to Iise yes
terday and last evening at the rate of half an
inch per hour and workmen were busily en-
gagged until midnight in securing and moving
lumber and other property upon its banks At
the present writing, in some places on Water
street it is nearly up to the ralr Dad track. The
plank road from the southern terminus OF the
Peoria bridge is overfowed from one to two
feet, cutting off all communication with Taze-
well County except by boats The water in the
Tazewell House was yesterday three feet deep
upon the floor, and the deer and elk in !" Bal
lance Park were afoat; at last account they
had all been secured but two elk, and measures
were then being taken to prevent their swim
ming the river. The ice-house Of Mr.. John Il.
Calhoun. which was built of brick, caved in
yesterday, the high water having undermined
the foundations. But small portion of the
| ice will be saved.
From towns down the river we hear of desert
| ed houses and whole villages standing in an
ocean Of water. Families who on Mondey were
living in the damp atmosphere Of an upper story
have been COR PEELED against their will to occupy
q still higher position in society.
| We learn by Mr. Jacob Fry, Of this city,
who left La Sale at o'clock yesterday morn
| ing, that the river had fallen At thay place
abc1t eight inches. By calculation, this would
| bring the river at stand at this point about
| 10 aclock this forenoon, The subsequent rain,
i however, win probably favor continued rise
and what will become Of towns and cities below
| we dare not calculate. The water now is in tht
cellars on Water street in this city, and ths
goods in them, we understand, have mostl!
been removed to . place Of satety.-Peori'

| The SrORM.-Our City was visited, on Tues
day night, with one of the most violent storms
OF the sc ason. The rain fell in torrents nearly
all night and the lind was very high, tearing
up trees, and overturning small buildings, but
doing no damage OF any amount The violence
Of the rain, however, caused great commotion
among all kinds of portable matters. The
river rose, during the night, nearly seven inches.
A large amount of lumber, belonging to Mr..
Rand. was carried dow Hawkeye, to its mouth,
but was there arrested by a cable which Mr..
Rand had taken the Drecaution to place there
the day before. 1t was rather comical to see
the crowd OF people that gathered on the spot
in the morning, to drag out the lumber, aud
claim salvage-li.tle thinking that, by the aid
of the invisible cable, the property was already
/ saved. Six hundred cords Of wood, belonging
! to Mr.. Sunderland and Mr.. Kendall, was washed
away, aud lost. A large number Of logs. belong
ing 10 the Messrs. Blandin, OF East Burlington,
! were carried down the river. great quantity
OF logs and other lumber came down from above.
The inhabitants of the tenements on Hawkeye
creek, who had not already left their houses
/ deserted them precipitateiy, fearing that they
would be swept away. Some little outbuidings
were carried away.
The steamer Silver Lske, running from
Oquawka Junction to this point, as railroad
ferryboat, was unable, oa account OF the vio-
| lence OF the storm, to cater the river, aud,
casting out an anchor aud mooeing herself to a
! froa aimed On he rir OYER night.
| 1t is supposed thaIihe amount OF rain which
fell was greater than that of any previous tall,
| this season.

A singular and interesting eIopement accur.
red ut Bristol, r. l., last week. The parties
we're Oren L. Bassett, who has wife and four
children, and . woman who has "a devoted
hus band and two young and interesting chill
dren." Both we're in good standing in the
Baptist Church, and Mr. Bassets was an active
and useful member. They planned their de-
parture very deliberately, and took with them q
considerable amount OF property in money and
effects. The FIRST that was known of the affair
WA the receipt Of letter from his wife by the
| injured husband, post marked at New York,
sta Ting that she had found & man she loved bet.
ter than him; when up to the moment Of read
ing IL he supposed she was visiting friends 10 a
nelg hboring town, and was looking Tor her re-
turn. Spiritualism does not seem to be respon-
| sible for this case Of free love.

The Democratic papers, since the passage OF
the English juggle, all pretend to have always
been in favor of "submission." We advise them
to continue in the cultivation of that virtue
for during the next few months the pro-slavery
Democracy will be obliged to "submit" to worse
political foggings than have ever been meted
out 70 any culprit party within the memory OF

Sixty physicians Of New York have signed
certifcatneiving their opinion that milk from
cows fed <.y slcps is prejudical to
health. The city govs.uments investigation 10
likely to prove . whitex. ,hing operation, with
out pains being taken TO s.e things in the best
light. A correspondent of the Boston Trons-
Grip. finds by experiment that milk from COW
fed in stable yields per cent. OF cream, while
that from COW pastured at Cambridge afforded
l3 per cent. As tine nutritive properties Of
milk are in proportion to the cream, he con-
cludes that the milk Of the pastured COW IS
worth more than three times that Of the stall
fed animal.
