A Citizen of Ohio in a Missouri Prison.

We learn that a colored woman, who
has for several years resided in Colum
bus, is now in i~ncarcerated in Jail in ST.
Louis, charged with Mt being a slave
The circumstances are these: This
woman whose maiden name was Eliza
Allen, left Columbus several weeks ago,
to visi, some relatives in Cincinnati
While there she became acquainted with
a colored man from Illinois. The two
were married, and set out for The home
of The husband.
Soon after they paid a visit 10 some
friends in St. Louis. Hardly had thew
arrived there, however, before a Nilsson.
rian appeared and declared that "who-
ever God hath joined together" a woman
hunter has a right 10 put assunder,"
and claimed Eliza as his property. The
hu 7band disputed his right to her person,
and her claimant knowing his inability to
prove his pretended right, Withdrew his
claim. Eliza was, therefore, thrown in
TO Jail, charged with being free, and
given To understand that she must fad
an owner, acknowledged herself a slave
and diSp-ove the charge, or otherwise
remain in all for a time, and then be
sold into perpetual bondage.
Information has already been forward
ed 10 Mayor English, of Columbus, con-
corning ali tire facts in The case. and We
hope the proper steps may be taken 10
secure her release. Acqrie7ceuce in
such acts of outrage agains; citizens Of
of Ohio, does not well comport with our
as 4 STATE. - ievs2Gni Leader.

Suicide and Reason Thereof

Francis 10. Umsted, a lawyerin New
York. a few mornings since rose from his
bed and stepped into an ajoining room.
His wife sooon heard the report of a pis-
tai, and following her husband found him
dead. the bail having passed through his
head. The Philadelphia Journal says
The above intelligence will both sur.
prise and distress many persons in this
city. who knew the deceased durinr lis
residence here. About four years since
he married a Miss Deyereux, of New
Haven, Conn.,, whose acquaintance, We
believe, he made during "A winter which
she spent with her relatives in Philadel
phia. She was a young lady of pleasing
personal appearance, superior talents and
education, and enjoyed all the advanta
ges of fortune and social position. Short
" after returning home from her visit to
this city. she became involved in a piece
of scandal, which occasioned much ex.
element and remark at the time, and
from which her reputation never entirely
recovered.
III bi4C HlauSL VI tulS NiOiOlc anu us
grace, Mr.. Umstead was married to her,
and they proceeded at once to ST. Louis,
where her husband proposed to pursue
the profession of the law, and where they
resided fer some time. They afterwaId
returned TO the East, and have since lived
in New York. Mrs. Umsted lately wrote
and published a novel. which displayed a
very considerable literary ability, though
it was variousIy criticised by the press.
We think the facts of The case indicate
pretty clearly that the deceased shot him
self deliberately, and it is not improbable
that the unhappy affair in which his wifc's
nsme and character were implicated just
prior 10 their nuplials, may have had
much 10 do with the act which has so
suddenly terminated his existence.

Wheat Prospects in Ohio.

PREBLE CoUNTF.-The Eaton Register
of the l2th inst, states that the growing
wheat crop of Preble bids fair 10 yield
far better than was anticipated some
weeks ago. The prospect is quite fiat
tering in the southern and south eastern
townships, and that though in other por-
lions of the county it does not look quite
so well, yet with no adverse circum-
stances between this and the coming har-
vest, Preble will make a fair show in the
wheat statistics of 1859.
GREENE CoUNrY.-The Xenia Torch
Light remarks, in its last issue, that 1.-the
wheat fields in Greene county are looking
very prcmisingly. Occasionally one is
seen that shows the ground too plainly;
but the prospect is a fisttering for a ma
jointly of our farmers.
Huron CoUNTY.-The North Fairfield
Gazette says: Farmers generally are in
excellent spirits. as the prospects are good
for a large yield of crops of all kinds.
SENECA CoUNTY.-A letter from Foster
& Co, of Fosioria, TO an exchange, says
that wheat never looked better in that
region.
CENTRAL AND EASTERN OHIo.-The
prospects of the wheat crop throughout
Eastern and Central Ohio were never, il
is said, more promising than they are at
this time. The Wheeling IateAigeacer
has been informed by Mr.. Garrett, Pres
ident of The Baltimore & Ohio Road, that
the people everywhere he has been, are
jubilant with the expectation Of an a5un-
dant harvest.
Along the S, D. q C. Railroad we no.
tice the grain fields are in a promising
condition. Some fields 10 the Mad River
have been par tally injured by the
excess Of rain during the spring, but even
these are coming out much better than
was expected.
In Indiana. it appears. the wheat crop,
under the recent favorable weather, has
advanced greatly, and nothing is appre-
hended TO prevent a large yield, but
heavy June rains, and hot suns, which
may trust" it.-SaRdaSky Register.
