GOLDEN WEDD1NGs.--We arc pleased to OBJ
ting to be an established institution. We clip
the following from the Northampton (Mass.)
Gazette and Courier, of April, from which we
learn that the venerable parents of our much
esteemed fellow citizen, Newton Mitchell, have
been celebrating their golden wedding. By the
way, that "boy," the "great grandchild" re-
ferred TO-, is the child of our cnterprising young
friend, Yeat Anderson, of the firm of Ander-
son, Gates Wright, Booksellers, of this city.
A Golden Wedding at Cummington, MaSs-
On Wednesday last, Capt Chester Mitchell, and
Venilia, his wife, completed the golden cycle
of half century of welded life, and celebrated
that event by golden wedding. The sun
dswned upon golden day, and the presence
of the scattered children with their husbands
and wives, now gathered from far away--the
round and rosy faces of grandchildren, with
their noisy glee, and every one with eyes
speaking holy flial love, gave to the day q
more golden tinge than sun or cycle, and filed
the hearts of the aged pair with a love and Joy
of which gold is no symbol. The bridegroom
was seventy one and the bride seventy, but
though their threescore years and ten had
| frosted their heads and wrinkled their brows,
the sunny memories of the past, the smiling
realities of the present, the sight of the joyous
faces Of loving children, and the merry play Of
children's children, made their steps lighter
their looks blither, and their hearts young
again. The youthful, joyous day of fifty years
| ago becomes but the foretaste of the deeper
holier joy of this golden day which has dawnet
upon these cold folks at home" From th
homo have sprung twelve children, ten of then
living, six sons and four daughters, and all o
them married. Seven of these were present
and also the wives of two others. There ar
also twenty grandchildren and one great grand
child. Allowing, thriving, happy family. Th
family and their connections present dinet
together at the Union House. In the evening
a friendly circle of sixty neighbors and friend
met to congratulate the loving couple upon tn
double knot which now tied them more closel,
to each other, and their children more tight,
to them; and after a golden day of joy to tn
family, and golden eve Of pleasure to th
friends, and a golden season of friendship t,
oil, the day of the first golden wedding among
us passed away. G.

LIEUT.. MoRETTI.-This gentleman, who is
now in our city, is one of the Hungarian pa
triots of 194S and 1S49, who, owing to the
treachery of that skillful general but unprin
cipled leader, Georgey, was compelled, in COM
pany with other patriots, to seek safety in a
foreign land. Since coming to this country,
Marcus Moretti has met with some heavy
losses, which have SO impoverished him that,
though repugnant to his military and gentle
manly feelings, he is compelled to appeal to
the generous impulses of those who have both
the means and the will to manifest prompt and
practical sympathy with those who suffer in
the cause of human liberty. Lieut.. Moretti
comes we'll recommended, while his manly and
straightforward story dissipates every sus-
picon of imposition. Among the letters which
he brings with him is one from Charles S.
Morehead, Governor of our sister State, Ken
lucky. AS his object is to raise little money
with which to embark in some business, we
trust our affluent citizens will not be "back-
ward in coming forward" to his aid.

Fugitive Slave Case.

ZANEsvILE, May IA fugitive slave
named VIM. Jackson, from Clarksburg. Va,
was arrested here last night. The trial is now
progressing. There is great excitement.
LATER.-There was great excitement here
this afternoon in regard to fugitive slave jack
son, who was arrested last night.
Judge Marsh decided that the prisoner was
illegally held, and discharged him. Imme-
diately after his discharge, he was re arrested,
handcuffed, put in a hack and driven to the
depot for the purpose of taking him to Wheel
ing on the train then due. A desperate and
unsuccessful effort was made by the negroes to
rescue him, during which pistols, clubs and
bricks were freely used. Several persons were
injured.
Meanwhile a writ was served on the Mar
shall, commanding him to bring the prisoner
back and show why he was held. This point
has not yet been settled.

ENGLAND VERSUS MExIoo-A circular of the
British Minister, Mr.. 0tway, dated April a,
addressed to Frederick Gennie, commences ::
SIR-From dispatch which received from
the Earl OF Malmesbury, by the last mail, it
would appear that Her Majesty's Government,
wearied out by its fruitless exertions to obtain
from the Government calling itself the Central
Government Of Mexico, settlement of the
outstanding claims of British subjects, and be-
ing unable to bring to bear upon that govern
ment the influence of the British naval force,
now off Vera Cruz, have determined on holding
the whole government indiferently responsible
for the observation of all international observ-
ences as far as England is concerned. 1t is,
therefore, the intention of Her Majesty's Gov
ernment to take advantage of the presence OF
her feet in the Gulf, and to hold Vera Cruz, by
whatever party it is occupied, to be, as il
were, the Treasury of Mexico, and enforce
there, as far as possible, the payment of al
outstanding claims Of British subjects in
Mexico

through the body. When our informant, who
saw the wounded man, left, no hopes were en-
tertained of his recovery.

CowHIDIEG AFFAIR.--A book-keeper in a
grocery store on Main street, betrothed to a
young lady, to whom Fifth-street dry goods
clerk had addressed note of an improper
character, met the young seller of tape on
his way from Woods Theater, on Monday
night, on the corner of Ninth and Vine
streets, about ten o'clock, and administered
to him severe castigation with a cowhide.
We suppress the names of the actors in this
affair, but feel satisfied, that although this is
hardly the way to heal wounded honor,
the fellow highly deserved all the punish
ment he received.

ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.--A man about ninety
years of age, named Miles Bailey, who resides
on Sycamore street, near Abigail, night before
last, attempted to commit suicide by taking
morphine. He is strong and hale, and had for
a couple of weeks been suffering with the only
sickness he has had in his life, and becoming,
as he said, weary of his condition, he thought
he would end life which could not in any
event be long, by the method we have named.
He was not successful, however, and his friends
now hope he may recover, not only from the
effect of the narcotic, but also from his sick
ness.

BURGLARY.-A house situated on John street,

night before last, who climbed upon a back
kitchen, thence into window, and stole

three or four pictures. This will caution
persons against carelessness in leaving their
houses open during the Summer nights, and
we hope the book the fellow stole will make
him fully aware that he has broken the
Eighth Commandment.
