LOVE Ar FIRST S1GuT-WEDD1Na on
a STEAMBoAT.---A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing from Supe-
rior, under date of October 8, says:
Sour tavoritc steamer, the North Star,
Capt. B Sweet, arrived, yesterday morn
ing, with numerous passengers and freight,
having been delayed but one day by adverse
winds on the route from Cleveland, Ohio.
When few hours out from Detroit, one of
the gentlemen passengers fell desperately
in fore, at first sight with pretty and in
teresting young widow. lie was introdu-
ccd, quickly popped the question, and was
accepted. Unfortunately for tho lovers, the
only minister on board had not been licen-
scd The gallant captain being appealed
to, promised to have the knot tied at the
first stoppingplocc. When the boat arri-
vcd, although it was about midnight, mes
sengers were despatched in hot haste for
the Justice of the Peace, who Immediate
~ repaired to the ladies' cabin, and the
twain were made one. The time occupied
in the arrival and departure of the steamer
was not over fifteen minutes The happy
couple were conspicuous in the ball given
by the captain TO the citizens of Superior
last evening. The spacious cabins were
brilliantly Illuminated, five or six coorcd
musicians ofiiciatcd, and delighted the guests
with quadres, schottishcs, waltzcs and
reels. Among the dancers were number
of Philadclphians, Baltimoreans, Kcntuck-
lans, and in factreprescntatiye from near
ly every State in the Union, but new resi-
ding in Superior. A Washington lady re-
marked to me that she was one of the ear
liess settlers, having arrived in the summer
of 1855, before the first street was opened
in the thick forest, and she then hardly inn
agined that in three shorl years she would
have been dancing here with so many 9th
ers at ball At II o'clock, hot coffee,
champagne, &c, were handed around, and
at the company dispersed" l."
MISCHIEF OF THE ABOLITION PRorA-
GANplsTs,-We copy the following from
the Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald:
George Butler, Cherokee agent, has
arrived i'll the city. lie reports all quiet
in the Cherokee Nation, but not likely to

permitted to have full sway there as they
have had heretofore 1t seems that these
mischieyous agitators are at their old trade
out there, busy brewing mischief, and ac-
lively engaged in sowing disscnson among
that people, and arraying one portion against
another, through the fundamentally of
their emissories- wolves in sleeps clothing
who were sent out for the ostonsiblc pur-
pose preaching peace on earth and good
will among men" The Board of Missions

carry on all their Vaccinations for mischief
in that selfrightcous and Pharsaical city,
it seems have, for some ten or fifteen years
been aboring to impress their Cherokee
converts with the idea that no Shareholder
can enter the kingdom of heaven, and they
through their head agent, distinguished
member of the illustrous Jones family, and
his subalterns, have gone on excommuni-
eating all persons guilty of the crying sin
of owning and taxing care of negroes, hurl-
ing anathemas against the heads of the
abomiuable herctics who have the hardness
