ouicides, Homicides, Divorces and
Elopements.

ElopementS.
Our exchanges every week contain accounts
Of some horrid Murder. or Suicide, together
with Divorces, Elopements, &C., &c. 1t seems
that about one in ten of the married people
throughout the country are tired If each other,
and take various methods of ridding themselves
Of disagreeable partners, and in some cases put
ting themselves out of the way entirely.
Wives get tired Of their husbands, and run
away with some specimen of masculine peyfec-
ton, finding at late day that they did not get
the right one the first time. The only reason
we can give for this is the one advanced by
Lola Moutez, 'that uar;ay is something great
ly to be desired in the marriage relation as well
- in other things" Married men are running
of too with young girls no older than their own
daughters perhaps, and we suppose they like
variety too. Who goes next?
Perhaps ii would be benefit to some, if the
same practices prevailed among the whites as
with the Indians, viz: Marrying for certain
number Of moons, then the disgrace attending
IN elopenent would be Oh, iated; who will
start the fashion We are prepared for almost
anything in the shape of new practices and new
relations between men and women, since

members of the Free Love Convention at Rut.

ing that some Of the strong minded women of
the age had come to the conclusion that they
would do something gerry desperate. go through
some performance calculated to raise the dear
creatures in the scale of being, who claim to
have been 80 long ''crushed'' beneath the weight
Of mans relentless despotism.
We saw one of these pi,iable creatures once,
and thought there was no danger of her being
very badly "crushed" 1--WE don't like that wsrd,
It always reminds us of the appearance of a
Frog we once saw which had been run over BY
wagon as she appeared able to take care of
herself, and with short hair, short dress, cloth
pantaloons and stoga boots, looked like some
swamp angel'in disguise, and about as likely

she Bear. Such sight would DO good for. the
Dclirium Tremens, for man would forget all
the snakes and devils, big and little, while con-
tsmplating the heavenly expression of her
vinegary countenance. She was follower of
Lucy Stone and others, and although rather
more repulsivc in appearance than some of her
leaders, yet the same doctrines were advanced
BY her as them, and she is always associated in
our mind with the subject of Woman's Rights.
But We did not intend to say anything on that
question and will stop before we betray our
selves, as We might say something to offend.

Frazer Riucr Gold Mines.-Great excitement
exists throughout the country north aa1 west in
relation to these mines, and public meeting
was held at st. Paul on the 9th to debate the
practicability of establishing an overland route
from that place to Frazer river via Pembina Carl
ton House, Edmonton and Thompson river.
The distance is computed at 1850 miles, and
is considered very feasible route. The citi.
Gems Of st. Paul are determined if possible to
open this new avenue to the west, and if they
succeed, nearly the whole travel to the gold
mines will pass up the Mississippi, and outfits
be obtained at that place. They have great
trade with Pembina now, as single train now
there laying in supplies for the winter brought
down furs to the value of $4,000. and $50, 900
in gold besides all of which is to be ex-
changed for provisions, clothing and other
goods.

Model Newspaper Cedar Valley News,
published at Bradford, Chickasaw Co., by Ed
ward Bushnell and edited by D. A. Babcock
came to US last week, dated June 18th on the
inside and June 30th on the outside. Under
the editorial head We find one of the Laws of
lows, loaded. and all the original matter we
can find in the paper consists of short article
headed "Wood Wanted and another about
three inches long in relation to what "their
devil" said about punctuation. The balance
Of its columns are filled with "Tax Sales" and
more Laws. We would commend this sheet to
the good will and support of the community,
rs man who bestows SO much labor upon his
paper should be well patronized. Felt, write
them little editorial, and tell the printer to
change the date inside.
1t only took ten days for the paper to get
here, wonder why it was hurried through so
quick

The Mails.


In our issue of last week, we mentioned the
fact of our paper frequently being week in
reaching destination which two days ought
to effect, and have received the following
communication from the Monona P. NJ. which
Of course exonerates him from any charge Of
neglect in the matter; one thing bothers US yet
though and that is, why it takes from one to
two weeks for letters and papers to come from
st. Charles and DEBORAH, as such is often the
case. Perhaps the trouble is farther west than
Monona, but read what follows:

Business.-All kinds of business seems to be
picking up. and our merchants have loaded
wagons with goods for the country the past
week sufficient to make train that would
reach from here to Dubuque. The farmers
seem determined to sell their produce, and al
though the roads are bad as they can be, it
comes in rapidly. Another crop is close at
hand, and it is policy TO dispose of what is on
Aandbefore harvest.
Our mechanics are busy, and new buildings
can be seen in every direction. The Mayor is
still at work on the streets, and though the mud

Tr1gedy at Cedar Rapids-A shocking affair
took place in that pleasant Iowa town on the
evening Of June goth, which was no less than
woman being murdered by her husband, fol-
lowed by his cutting his own throat. The
name of the parties was Skeeles, and the
cause Of the crime, domestic difficulties. the
man having left his wife, and after being alb
sent some eighteen months, came back with the
view of effecting reconciliation, but being
unable to do so, he threatened to take her life
If she attempted to procure a divorce. She,
however, went to the County Seat to make the
necessary arrangements for obtaining one, the
result Of which was as above stated. We OBJ
tanned our information from an article in the
Cedar Rapids Times in which all the particu
lars are given and the attendant circumstances,
but too lengthy to copy.

An Ocean Trip in a Ba1oon.-J. Steiner, of
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, proposes to cross the
Atlantic in balloon 100 feet in diameter.
He says in letter to the Telegraph:
am satisfied in my own mind that with
such an apparatus could cross the Atlantic in
Is hours, and the whole cost would not be more
than $4,000. The balloon, net work and
valve, would weigh about 1000 pounds, and
the boat and rigging az tons; this will leave
about eight tons ascending power for provisions
passengers and ballast. 1t would require three

the starting point, and am certain | would

making the experiment, and would make the
attempt in 1859, if / could get the government
