Strange Denouement OF nn EIope-
mnents

ment.
A Mr.. Hughes, of Albany, missed his
daughter on Friday night, and becoming con-
WINGED from various circumstances that she
was intending to elope with . young Ger
man book-keeper named Gertbeet, started to
the railroad depot and commenced search
for the couple. He went through train,
scanning every face, but not finding the right
ones, was about leaving the depot yard,
wLen he discovered the parties he was look
ing for. The scene which followed is thus
narrated:
His daughter saw him, and dragging her
lover aside, supposed that the old man would
not notice them. He seized his daughter by
the arm and attempted to drag her from her
lover, but she chung TO the latter o. her last
ray Of hope. The father was very violent,
and his manner threatened harm TO the girl.
Our Teutonic friends nerves began to swell.
He became highly excited at witnessing the
rough usage Of the girl. He Immediately
seized Hughes By the neck, struck him sever
al times, and finally threw him heavily upon
the ground. The girl was in quaDdary.--
Both, OF course, were dear to her. She did
not know whom TO tske part with. She was
in tears. The pounding Of her father by her
lover caused her to screech. Four persons
rushed to tho scene. The girl took hold Of
her lover and pulled him OF her father. She
was Mortified to see the blood trickliug from
wounds upon her fathers face. she 70.
gretted her astion--placcd her arms about
bis neck, saying, 4Poor father, forgive me.''
She turned upon her lover and abused him
for beating her father, and rather than stand
that, and the gaze Of the crowd who were
collected about, the young man sloped.
The girl remained with her father, washed
the blood from his face, and went home with

NO. BLooMISGToS, the seat Of our State
University, is described by the editor of the
Indianapolis American, who recently visited
the town, as follows:
IL seems to bea city on hills. The ground
is beautifully undulating, and the site, occu-
plying the summit between the east and
west forks of White river, is high and
healthy. From some cause we had been led
to expect a town, old, and finished, and
dilapidated. The reverse is the case. There
is an air of thrift and Improvement that is
refreshing. Few places of in size, that we
have visited, exhibit fewer tottering fences,
implanted buildings, and other signs OF
decay, indicating that the owners are gone,
or wish to leave for other parts. The streets
are cluttered up with brick and boards, in
dicative OF improvements, and in several
places grading is in progress. showing that
the streets are to be improved also The
State University is located here. The new
building, not yet finished, though already
decaying for want of paint, at least on the
bay window, is admirably planned. We
think il excels, both in appearance and con-
venience. any building for academic purposes
that we have visited, albeit we do not ad-
mire the unfinished condition of the venti-
lating arrangement, in the chapel and society
commencing the appearance of the campus,
or Of the public square in the town. Neither
Of these is in keeping with their surround
ings. The County should put the one in
better order, and the State the other.

Bishop ONDERDoNK's CAsE.-In the Epis-
copal Convention, at Richmond, the House
OF Bishops has definitely disposed of the
Onderdonk case. After rejecting all propo-
sitions looking to restoration, they, by a
large majority, passed a resolution permit
ting 0nderdonk to draw his petition. A
motion of unconditional restoration was
voted down, 26 to 8. Then the Bishop Of
South Carolina submitted a motion that the
memorial could not be entertained without
previously resigning his jurisdiction. Pend
ing this, Bishop Whitehouse, of Illinois, of.
fered substitute restoring the Bishop to
Office, but not to the exercise of his juris-
diction. The substitute was lost. Rishop
Delaney, of New York, afterwards moved
to restore, on condition of regulation-laid

The Whigs OF MassachusettI.

The Boston Courier was the staunchest
and last organ Of old federalism in Boston.
On the extinction of its party, it became a
Webster Wing champion; it has met with
many vicissitudes, but it has always pre-
served its independence, and never tagged
in ability and vigor. Its present editors are
Old Line Wings, and in its editorial corps
are one OF two of the ablest pens in the
State. The following extract. from one OF
its leading articles Of last week, sounds
strange to those who are familiar with the
antecedents Of the paper and the men who
conduct it. In referring to an article from
the National Intelhgeneer, counseling
union of the Opposition, in support of the
Hon. Edward Bates for the Presidency, 1t
says:
We do not agree, then, with the counsel
of the Intelligencer. We believe that great
evils would follow if Repgblicanism should
prevail. We look, therefore, for the success
of the Democracy in the coming election,

be? 1t was far from triumphant before;
but went into Office exactly on the grounds
now indicated by us, and it will be SO again.
1t will be aided directly by those who
regard Republicanism as the worst of evils /;
indirectly by those who think they see a
means of thwarting it. without absolutely
duplicating themselves in Democratic doc
trines or measures. Then, when it has
attained the government and sectionalism
is quite routed, as il win be, and the leaders
of sectionalism are where they should be-
in hopeless defeat and obscurity-it will be
quite time to form, upon q just and rational
basis, a party in opposition, which will
bring together, once more, men, North and
South, who ought to unite. Whatever pro-
notes this object il for the good of the whole
country; whatever discourages and checks
it, is evil. Those who seek for present and
personal objects, shall follow one course ;
those who seek only the true interests Of the
Union, whether they are to participate or
not in the common benefit during their own
generation, viii pursue another. An cop
position to be beneficial or effective, must
extend throughout the Union. At present,
such project seems to US hopeless Of success,
