4 Pixies PEAK RoMANcE.-The st. JOSEPH
Gazette relates the following bit of romance:
Among the many passengers arriving every
day, by the way of the Hannibal and ST. joseph
Railroad, to seek their homes in the gold mines,
a young man came few days ago, who mani.
tested great Impotence and restl ssness ard
melancholy. He took lodgings at a quiet hou e
up Town. and said be was gong to Cherry Creek
Nth the next Salt Lake mail-stage, which starts
this morning. Evening before last a Young
lady came by the cars and stopped at hotel in
one OF 'ur greatest thoroughfares. She in
qured for Mr. j. H., but The landlord could
give her 40 information respecting him.
Yesterday morning she took her place at a
front window TO observe the passers by, and
had not been there long before she struck the
window iorcibly and cried out in so loud and
distressed tone as to startle every body in the
room. She ran to tue door calling John, dear
John! and there net the restless melancholy
young mao, around whose neck she threw her
arms, and whose astonished face she kisse d
most fervently, to the no small AZ. onishment OF
the lockers on.
IL seems that she was rather coouette. and
had rejected John after giving HIM reason
10 hope tor acceptance that John had the
next day, in fit of desperation, act OF for the
gold mines, and that she, in distraction. had left
her home and pursued to briag him back. She
found him here as stated, and this morning they
returned together in the cars.

respondent of the Davenport Gazette recently
visited the new Lunatic Asylum at Mt. Pleasant,
of which he gives the following account
Yesterday | visited the :" Iowa Insane Asy-
lum," which is located about mile southeast
OF the city, upon a farm OF one hundred and
eventy-three acres. The building conf
menced in 1856 and at this time il under root,
and maLv OF the rooms are finished. The work
is under the charge OF three Commissioners
(the Governor being one.) The appropriation
OF S25o,0O0 ma de by the Legislature, is nearly
ali expended, $4,000 only remaining. and from
appearances IT viii rearire a good deal more to
finish and furnish it. 1t is an extensive buili-
ing, having front of five hundred and twelve
feet, with three wings extending back near Two
hundred feet. The foundation tor outer wais)
would measure twenty-five hundred and thirty
seven feet or nearly halt q mile. The building
Is of the Elizabethian order of architecture,
and from the ground to the top OF the centre
tower, is one hundred and thirty three feet
The stone of which the building is constru ted
was obtained III the immediate neghborhood.
The building is alter the plan Of the Asy lum at
Northampton, Mass. The building is to be
tgltad with gas, and heated with hot air; water
tanks OF large size, are under the root. Hot

ing, and all the Improvements will be OF the
latest and most substantial character. There
are only eleven hundred windows in the build.
ing. The sash in the rooms designed for pa
tIents are set with six 10y nine glass. The outer
sash is of cast irou OF the usual size and is cal
culated to remove much of the gioominess of
the old style bars. The glass would make

appearance and the decrease of the circumier-
ence OF her hoops. On Sunday last during her
absence he made an examination OF her room
and found in her trunk the dead body OF a full
grown male child weighing from eight to ten
pounds. The appearance OF tie child Indicated
that it had been smothered by the hand. The
matter was kept quiet until Tuesday last, when
the coroner seized the trunk after fierce re-
sistance by the sirl.
No suspicion mad been excited in the family
that she was eneiente, daughter OF Mr. B.
having lodged with the girl the whole time with
the exception Of from Monday, Jan oath, until
the following Friday. The girl alleged that the
child was sti-born on the 2sth of January, and
fearing the exposure, she had conceded it in
her trunk. Ga Tuesday evening she was allow
ed to leave the room for few minutes, since
which time she has not been seen or heard OF,
and the officers as yet have found no clue of her
whereabouts.
The coroner's jury gave verdict that the
child came 10 its death by foul means.
