Acandid Admission.

The Union Democrat, paper published in
New Hampshire, makes the following candid
admission, which we think, viewed by til ,
South, should have tendency to awaken a
proper spirit of patriotic independence in
our people
"The Union has been profitable to the
North, the South has bought our goods,
freighted our ships, employed our teachers,
and enabled us to maintain position viii CHI
we never could have reached by our local
resources. New England has grown rich
out of the fact of slavery. The South, on
the other hand, is indebted to us for moth
ing. We buy of the South only what we
must have, and can get nowhere else. The
South buys of us what it can produce it.
self, if it pleases, or can get of England just
as well. Now, let us suppose the Union dis
solved-and it certainly will be within two
years if Brown Republicanism is not crush
ed out the South will send its products to
England and take English goods for pay
Take away your Southern trade, and what
becomes of New England ? But practical
evils of serious character may result with
out dissolution. Even now, the Southern
papers urge their friends to buy no more
Northern goods, to freight no more North.
ern ships and to employ no more Northern
help IN any capacity. we cannot plane
them. We do not like to do business with
men who are constantly abusing US, and we
cannot expect our Southern friends to-exer-
else broader charity, for they may become
absolutely independent of US in a single
day without the slightest Inconvenience
They can produce all they need or, if not,
they can supply themselves frem Old Eng
land as well as from the New. We warn our
friends that the lime is coming when they
will have the financial value of the Union
to consider.

Never Married. w Washington Irving was
never married. An early Disappointment
preyed upon his over-sensitive nature, and
caused him to remain to the hour.of his death
unwedded. He was not, however,a cburl.-
He loved and respected woman with a sincere
and holy devotion that is manifest in all his
writings. There is not one word in any OF
his volumes where there can be found word
disrespectful concerning woman. For the
honored relations of mother, wife, sister, and
daughter,he entertained the highest admira-
ton, as be has clothed them in the sweetest
and noblest prose poetry. And it is crafty
ing to know that his last years were soothed
by the kind attentions of the daughters of a
beloved brother.

FrightfM Case of Barning.-A young
lady, Sister in-law of Mr.. Laight, who re.
sides mile or two east of Sing Sing, about
seventeen years of age, lost her life on Fri
day, in consequence of her clothes taking
fire from the CRATE. In the freely she rushed
into the open air, and was soon found with
her clothing entirely consumed, except a
woollen head covering which protected the
uppear part of her body. The vital organs
were, therefore, uninjured, but the sensibili
ty of nine.tenths of her body was destroyed,
so that what was most remarkable, she was
perfectly conscious, and suffered little or no
pain for more than an hour after the acct.
dent. Previous to death. however, which
occurred during the ght, there was consider r.
able suffering, though less than usual in such
cases.

aged about twenty years, attempted to put
an end to her life by throwing herself down
a we'll about forty feet deep, ON her ia theirs
premises. AS she was seen to jump an alarm
was instantly given, and, the neighbors soon
assembling, she was taken out of the well

purpose. On medical examination sh g
was found to be seriously but not danger
ously hurt. She refuses to stay at her faith :
er's house, and is now In the family OF
friend of her father, where she Is well cared
for. AS to the causes leading to this rash
act we know nothing more than that rumor
assigns it to disagreement between the
young girl and her stepmorher.
Terrible Havoc Made By a Mad Deg.-On

Release Of Myers.-Mr. Ephraim Myers,of
Frederick county, Nd, recently convicted
at Carlisle, Pennsy vania, of kidnapping GER
tain "free" colored persons from th at State,
was released from imprisonment by arrange
ment, Monday last, upon his personal recog-
nizance, and has returned to his home. The
Frederick Examiner says:
This form Of release is equivalent to an &C.
quittal, and is better than pardon, since
it releases him from the costs OF the prosecu-
ton. The petition for freedom, filed by the
negroes in question, in the Circuit Court for
this county, has been dismissed ana they
have since been sold as slaves under the pre-
vioas order of the Orphans Court. The diff
ficulty arising from conflict of laws and
jurisdiction in this case, between the courts
of Maryland and Pennsylvania is thus hap
PLY settled.

Young John Broom Hung On Qancy.-A
curious affair took place in Quincy, ON the
day of the execution of John Brown in Viz
ginia, which came near having tragical
Termination. There is boy, aged about
fourteen years, named John Brown, residing
in the town where John Quincy Adams liv-
ed and died, and several boys in the neigh
borhood concluded that he ought to be tried
for treason. They accordingly put him
through the regular forms of trial. He
was arraigned in due form, was allowed
counsel (junior) and after a patient investi-
cation of the case, he was adjudged guilty
and sentenced to be hung.
The boys placed the young John Brown up
on barrel under a tree, fastened slip
noose around his body, enclosing his arms,
and fastened the rope to a limb OF tt ee.-
They then kicked the barrel from under him
and young John Brown was nearly launch.
ed into eternity, for the rope slipped up and
caught the young gentleman around the
throat. He was now in perilous situation,
as his thoughtless companions were fright
ened by the blood that flew from his nostrils
in stream, and ran away from the scene as
fast as possible. Fortunately for young
Brown, a woman in a house near by ran ont
with big carving-knife and cut him down.
Dung John was game to the last, but he
concluded not to Participate in mock trial
again.-Boston Herald.
