Lawful Revenge.

Many years since. {. gentleman in New
iugtou, near Wethers6eld, Connecticut, who
was very religious and conscientious
man, married one of the most ill.natured
AM troubiesom, women who could be
found in the vicinity. This occasioned
a univeral surprise wherever he was
known, and one Of his neighbors ventured
to ask him the reason which had governed
his choice. He replied, that having had
but little trouble in the world, he was fear
ful of becoming too much attached to
things of time, and thought that by ex-
periencing some affilctions. he should be-
come more weaned from the world; and
that he married such a woman as he
thought, would accomplish this object
The best part of the story is, that the
wife hearing the reason why he married
her was much offended, and, out Of revenge;
became one of the most dutifui wives in
the town; declaring that ''she was not GO
ing to be made pack-ho TO carry her
husband to heaven!'

A SOraid Wretch.

We had yesterday the particulars of a re
voting transaction just come to light iu
Gleennville. Harlan Hyde lost his wife
one year ago She was his third wife, and
had been married oaly one year when she
died ,and was buried in the Greenville Gem
etery. About one week ago Hyde went
to the cemetery, and opened the grave,
broke open the coffin and rihed it of-what
does the reader suppose? Of a set of false
teeth, that he might coin the gold plate. up
on which the teeth were set, into money to
put in his pocket We wonder not at the in
dignation which blazes agaistt the miserable
creature in Greeneville. or that the women
of the village can scarcely be restained
from treating him to coat of tar and feath-
ers. Hyde is not far from fifty years Of
age. house carpenter by trade, and, we
shame to add, is member ola Christian
church. 1t is now currently reported and
believed in GreenevilIe, that when his wife
died, and while she lay dead in her shroud
in the house, her affectiona;e husband at
tempted to remove the coveted teeth from
her mouth, but the rigid muscles would
not relax, and he was, compelled to sus-
pend Operations for time. The pur-
pose was merely nos..PToued' not relanqish
Gu; and. after booding over the idea for l2
months, he has finally put it in to excel
ton. Hyde not only coDfesses to have
done this horrible thing, but is even bra
zen enough to justify it.--Norw'ch Coa-
riey MdY 25.

a Mother and Eight Chill.
dren Killed!

The Chicago Press gives further parti-
culars in relation 10 the late distressing ca
lamity, at Roscos, Ill.
"A special telegraphic dispatch informs
us that about dawn yesterday morning. a
freshet came rushing with great violence
down ravine, which, in ordinary seasons,
is an insignificant brook, a tribute to the
Rock River.
Upon the bank stood the two story frame
dwelling house occupied by a much es-
ieemed clergymen, Rev. Horatio Ilsley.--
From some cause, either by the under
mining of the bank, or the dwelling house
being reached by the angry flood, it was
overturned and carried away. Its inmates.
the clergyman, bis wife and their eight
children were in their beds when they
were swept into the raging torrent. The
father alone managed, almost miraculous
ly, to effect his escape, and reached the
bank nearly exhausted; the mother and
her children were seen no more alive.
The most profound cessation at once
rarvade1 the entire community. The
most active measures we're at once taken
to recover the bodies, and up to 10 o'clock
A. NJ, four had been taken out.
Their children were of various ages,
ranging from infancy to seventeen years
of age. The family was one much be-
loved in that community, and the sad fate
which has swept them thus mo eternity,
will cause many tears

Timely Preparations

1T Is rumored,' says the Ohio States
man, that steamers from England now
due, brought dispatches from the British
Minister. touching the outrages in the
uulf. The American people will await
their publication with earnest sollcltude.-
The rumor states that they are Of pa
cifc character. 1t is hardly probable that
the British Government would dare to
avow, in the face of the world, the mad
acts Of their naval officers. or that she will
fail to make ample reparation for damage
done, and apologize for her insults to
American Sovereignty. The Administra-
ton has wisely cherished confidence IN the
result, and firmly relied on the simple
Justice Of the case. As we have before
stated, the whole country reposes perfect
trust in the disposition of the President
and his Cabinet to vindicate our nationa
rights, and is willing to waita reasonable
time for the explanation Of the British
Government, already demanded. No one
fears that our Government will be plunged
heedlessly into war, yet the conviction
is universal that if we must appeal t.

We see it stated that some men OF capl-
tai in New York, Buffalo and Chicago,
have it in contemplation to establish In the
West, mammoth farm Of from 100000
to 100000 acres. Their object is TO do
for agriculture, by the use of combined
wealth and the power of machinery. what
has been done in the last century by the
railroad and factory fer the old stage coach
and spinning Wheel The basis of the
project is thus stated:
They will organize the vast tract into two
rival establishments, with a military orga-
nization of labor, gigantic machinery tc
plow, plant. reap and render harvest. vas
herds of horses, sheep and cattle of the
most select stock, and the cultivation o
fruits and grain upon grand scale. The
organization will Justly combine the lnte

A Mothers Love.

We are indebted to Lamartine's exqui-
sitely fine pen for the following touching
and graphic illustration of a mothers love
In some spring freshet, river wildly
washed its shores and rent away bough
whereon a bird had built cottage for her
summers hopes. Down the white and
whirling stream drifted the green branch,
with its wicker cup of unfedged song;
and futtering beside it as it went, the
mother bird. Unheeding the roaring riv-
er, on she kept. her cries of agony and
fear piercing the pauses of the Storm
How like the love of the old fashioned
mother who followed the child plucked
from her heart, all over the world. Swept
away by passion, that might be, it matter
ed not; bearing away with him the frag-
ments OF the roof-tree though he did, yet
that mother was with him Ruth through
all his life. and Rachael at death

HORSE TAMING.--The Buffalo CONNER
cial claims to be cognizant of the secret
which Mr.. Rarey possesses and employs
TO tame horses, and asserts that it consists
in raising one of the fore feet of the horse,
doubling the knee, keeping strap wound
around the fetlock, fastening the foot close
to The arm or shoulder. The horse then
stands upon three legs. Having next put
on surcingle, pass long strap or rein
through the surcingle and fastening one
end of it around the fetlock of the other
forefoot; attach the other to :he sircin-
gle of the animal is thrown, so closely as
to deprive it of tie use of its limb. In
this item the treatment may be varied by
fastening the second fetlock to the arm or
shoulder after the animal is down. This
plan, says the Commercial, is successfully
pursued by many sklllful horse breaker in
Weston n Y, and the horse yields to the
necessities of the case. his spirit of opposi-
ton being broken.

Rev. Peter Cartwright III
the AStOr House.

Some church business made it necessa-
ry for Mr. Cartwright to visit New York
city some years ago, and it was arranged
for him that he should put up at the Astor
House. 1t was here that his brethren ex-
pected to meet him; his social and denom-
national appointments had reference to the
Astor House as his headquarters. When
Mr.. Cartwright, however, appeared at the
Astor, there was nothing in his backwoods
appearance that suggested to its propritors
his worthy position among the fathers of
Methoiism; when, therefore, he requested
to be shown 10 his room, he was very cav
alierly turned over to a servant to show
him up stairs. Up stairs they went-up.
up. up,--Mr. Cartwright in wondering
amazement lost the servant apparently un-
firing in his amusement of ascending. FL
nally, the servant opened the door of an
apartment up In the attic story, and point
ed it out to Mr.. G. as his room. Father
Peter detained the servant while he should
take general survey of the premises
repeatedly inquiring if this was the room
he was to occupy--and at length, appear
ing to be well satisfied. he disposed of his
baggage. and very politely requested the
servant to show him down stairs again.
The servant preceded Father Cartwright
down, down, till they reached. at length,
the street landing; but before the servant
could make his escape, Peter inquired of
him if he wouldn't show him up stairs! So
up they went again. heavenward. and at
last Peter found his room, and permitted
the servant to depart In peace. The SER
want, however. had little more than found
himself down stairs, when Uncle Pete rang
the bell most vigorously. In dus time, up
came the servant, by this time painting with
exertion.
MY good friend, am sorry to trouble
you, but should be glad to see the clerk
if you will be kind enough to show him
tc my ROOM
'Oh, certainly
And so down. down goes the servant. to
say to the clerk that singular old chap in
the upper story wanted him to his ROOM
And then up goes the Clerk.
Are you the clerk?'
Yes SIR
We'll. you will place me in great OBJ
legations to you. if you will show me the
way down stairs?'
And when once more down stairs after
Uncle Pete had taken another survey of the
surroundings, the clerk very politely in
quired if there was anything further he
could do for him?
Yes, says Uncle Peter, yes my friend,
I would be greatly obliged to to you for a
broad -axe?'
'A.broad-axe!' says the Clerk, in aston
ishment, and what do you propose to do
with a broad.axe?'
L thought I should like to uaze my arSy
TO my room!'
1t is needless to say that Peter Cartwright
was the lion of the week at the Astor; and
that it was not further required of him 10
climb up that endless series starways-but,
when his friends called up on him, they
found him snugly enscoused in one of the
most eligible rooms in the house.

AuecdOte Of Hamilton.

A correspondent of the New York Eve.
ming Post gives the following anecdote Of
Alexander Hamilton. 1t is taken from q
collection of English newspaper cuttings,
now in possession of the New York His
torical Society:
General Hamilton, the American, when
a youth of seventeen, was chief clerk to
an eminen. merchant in st. Elstatia, who
being absent, the business of the count
ing house of course devolved on young
Hamilton. He had presented to him let
ter, directed to his master. which, suppos-
ing it related to mercantile concerns, he
opened; but his surprise was grea: when
he found that it contained a challenge to
his master, whose proxy he was. The
young hero answered the challenge in the
name of his master, and the time and place
we're mentioned in his reply.
Hamilton appeared to the antagonist of
his master on the field, and, to use his own
words, "did his busine:s in his absence" I"
and would not agree to any compromise,
except on the express condition that the
challenger should acknowledge in writing
tl.at he had received suitable satisfaction
from Mr.. -. that he was gentleman Of
honor, &C.; and further, that he (Hamilton)
should never be known at the business
which terms the challenger was obliged to
accede to, or fight the young Hamilton; he
chose the former and the parties separated.
In few moments however, it came to his
masters ears, who was so struck with the
magnanimrty of such conduct, that he gave
him the liberty 20 go to the continent, to
choose what profession he pleased, and
draw on him to any amount. Perhaps to
this anecdote America is indebted for the
service and abilities of man who was not
his superior as soldier, financier and
statesman. +. NJ
