SUICIDE UNDER MIsrAKE.-The Philadelphia
Ledger of the oath has the following:

John D. Winsow, who committed suicide yester-
day morning, under the mistaken opinion that he
had been robbed of $4,000 worth of jewery, by a
colored man, had been in the employ of Sacket,
Davis Il Co., of New York, from boyhood, and be-
came their travelling agent upon the death of their
former agent Mr.. Gusts. His business required
him to make frequent visits to New York. In
Philadelphia he was widely known and much re-
spected. year ago he was robbed of consider
able jewery belonging to his employers, which, it
is believed, was not recovered Though no sus-
pcon attached to him in the matter, it is supposed
to have preyed upon his mind and led him to con-
template suicide some time ago, as he said he had
in the letters found in his The fear that the
recent loss might affect his character, and lead to
the belief that the first was chargeable to him, no
doubt nerved him to the commission of the act.
The coored man, Il. E. jenkins, in whose charge
the jewery was, called at O'Clock on Monday
afternoon at the store of Mr.. Eli Holden, Market
street, where he had been with the deceased be-
fore, and stated that Mr.. Winslow directed him to
leave the box, saying he would call for it. Early
yesterday morning an employee of Mr.. Holden
learned of the suicide, and upon communicating
the fact to Mr.. H., he took the box to the police
office. On examination it was ascertained that
elry, consisting of rings, medaons, chains, sleeve
buttons, cuf-pins, ETC., the most of which he had
presented to Susan Simons, a colored domestic. 1t
was all recovered. His story is that Mr.. Winslow
gave him permission to take the box to the person
to whom he was to present the jewelry, and then
deposit it at Mr.. Holdens. For the present he is
detained in custody. .,1
A Town OF BLooD.-There are few villages in
the country, ii any, where as many deeds of blood
have been perpetrated as at BardStown, Kentucky
Within half score of years as many men have
met violent DEATH Among tfrese-we remember
that Robt. Logan Wicklitfe shot Pat Gray that
James Pottnger was killed by George Wilson; this
was followed by fight between Theo. Wilson and
Lud. and Monroe Able, in which Wilson was killed.
In less than year Lud. Able was killed by John
Wilson, brother of the deceased. VIM. Hardin
and John Robertson had a street fight, in which
Hardin was mortally stabbed, and died in few
days. He was son of Ben Rowan Hardin, who
was murdered on the Isthmus of Panama in ls49
and $50, and grandson of Hon; Ben !, Hardin. And
| last, as we have recorded, John Talbot was slain
| by Thos. Kinds Slaughter in his own house. Truly,
| this is bloody and fearful record.

NAvAL.--The U. s. steamer Naragansett arrived
here yesterday from Boston, on her trial trip and
are informed has proved failure. Her officers
think her unsafe with both steam and Sails She is
so constructed that she cannot hold to the wind
and while her engines made ffty-fye revolutions,
she only accomplished two knots an hour.
The Boston press and mechanics are constantly
harping upon some imaginary defect in the work
of this yard, but we have never known anything,
real imaginary, to equal the defects of this ship.
The government will have to turn the Narragansett
to our skillful operatives to make her Of for
service. Portsmouth Transcript

ARREST AT DANvILLE.-We were informed yes
terday that Northern Brownie had been arrested
at Danvlle under the following circumstances:
He had been suspected, for some time past Of
tampering with the slaves in that neighbOrho0d.
but nothing had occurred TO warrant his arrest I'M
til one day this week, when he went to the post
office and received letter, which, after reading
he crumpled up in his hand and threw into the
stove. There happened to be no FIRE in the stove
at the time, and as soon as he departed some one-
took the letter out and read it. It proved to be
clearly implicated the receiver in thievish, scoun
drelish scheme to steal away negroes from their
comfortable Southern homes, and transfer them to
the bleak and inhospitable North. The viper to
whom the letter was addressed was forthwith ar
rested, and, at last accounts, was lying in jail,
awaiting a judicial Investigation. .
AN EPIDEMlC-For some months past an epi-
demc, fatal in its results, has been prevailing in
Upper Tupehoccon township, Berks county, and
among the settlements near the boundary line be-
tween Berks and Schuylkill counties. Straustown
has been particularly the sufferer by this terrible
disease, and there is scarcely family in the place
or more bodies. The physicians generally pro-
nounce the disease to be the typhoid fever, and so
dreadful has been its ravages that strangers have
been advised not to visit the infected region When
our agent was canvassing this section in the early
part Of last MONTH almost every house in Straus-
town contained one or more invalids, afflicted with
the epidemic, and he was advised to leave imme-
diately. One graveyard alone in the same town
ship has received, within period of less than six
weeks, no less than thirty-fve bodies victims Of
the fever. Myerstown, Lebanon county, has also
been afflicted; but few families in that village have
entirely escaped. Who will say now that typhoid
fever is not contagious? [Reading (Pa.) Times.

A HEROIC GIRL-The Norfolk (va.) Day Book
makes mention of heroic little girin that city who
proved herself worthy compeer for the famous
Grace Darling. The story is this, and the name Of
Louisa Hudgins deserves place the page of his
tory beside that of the noble maid of the Eddystone
Lighthouse.
It appears that few days ago, while the weather
was quite cold and the wind blowing quite gale,
small sail-boat was seen approaching the Mat
thew's store When about one hundred yards OF,
a squall of wind capsized the frail bark, and one
of the men was thrown headlong into the angry
pillows. This accident was witnessed by little
Louisa NJ. Hudgins, who was at the moment watch
ing the approaching boat from her fathers window,
when she saw the struggling form of man in the
water.
She rushed hastily from the house to the shore,
Invested herself of her shoes and hose, and waded
out to canoe which was secured to stake short
distance from the shore. This she hastily padded
to the relief of the drowning man, and reached
him in time to save his life. She then, with the
assistance of the other man, succeeded in getting
him into her boat, and padded him safely to the
Shore We understand that when she reached the
shore and found herself sans bonnet, sans shoes
| and sans stockings, her maidenly modesty, which
| had been overcome by her heroism, returned, and
she bushed scarlet to find herself in this predica-
ment before two men. But she had no need to be
| ashamed; the deed was noble one, worthy of q
Spartan mother, and we take great pleasure in
chroniCling it. e58 ga z5 TX

Below we publish all that we can find in our

The thermometer on Saturday indicated a
temperature of 81 c , only 8 5o above freezing
point! Overcoats and fires were found quite
comfortable. Snow fell in various places in
this county. Delightful for June!
P. s. The above was written on Saturday
afternoon. before closing our forms. On Sat
urday night the clouds cleared away, and the

all kinds of vegetation has been either greatly
injured or totally DESTROYED. We have no pos

sustained, but corn, poIotoes, tomatoes, beans
&c. have been totally DESTROYED. The effects
