A CASE OF CONSCIENCE OF LovE-About two
years ago young man living in this city gained
the affections of young woman, and succeeded
in effecting her ruin. AT the solicitation of
friends, and from fear of prosecution he left the
city, and went to join an older brother in the
West. The young woman bore her disgrace
quietly, and worked along, her whole course of
conduct being Of the most exemplary character,
against which no one ever dared to breathe the
breath of calumny Some two weeks ago the
young man returned, and prevailed upon his for
mer companion to go with him to the West,
where he had home, and where he would make
her his wife. The woman consented, aud their
offspring having died when quite young, they
resolved to conceal the history of the past. On
Saturday last an intimate friend of the man re-
ceived letter stating that the two had arrived
safely at their destination, having been previous
ly married at station on the Central Ohio Rail
road on the evening of the first day out

hood, and disposition was manifested to lynch
the black fellow. This came to the ears of the
infatuated girl. She met the dusky fellow
Their purpose was at once taken they deter

One of Our Peculiarities.

We are decidedly peculiar people on the
occasion of celebrating the yearly return of the
day which holds to our inspection the accounts
of the times that "tried mems souls" John
Bull and Jean Crapeau laugh at us as we do at
them for their eccentricities; but it is not ne
cessarily bad on that account, though. we are
not wholly unaware of our partial righteousness.
Have we statstician among US who conceives
himself capable of computing the actual amount
of explosive gas let off on Monday last, or cal
culating the number of hours spent in rehearsing
before the mirror the harangues which caused
the blood of every listener to tingle and make
our national egotism to put itself on its back
and cry in patriotic and ennobling voices, "bold-
est, most energetic and smartest nation in the
world y Can some able mathematician calcu-
late the number of hours spent, and gallons of
midnight oil wasted in the devoted work OF
hunting down patriotic metaphors Or beating up
fattering tropes2 The manner we have of
celebrating the Fourth of july is completely
American. Almost all other nations have more
holidays than are honored in this country, yet we
lowed up in speechifying. A yearly iteration
of the gorifcation of the sacrificing noble sign
ers, and denunciation of the expressions which
led forward to the Declaration, with panegyrics
upon the noble achievements and brilliant ex-
PLOTS, bravery and inyincblty of the people
led on by the immortal Washington serves to
keep alive national love and feeling for liberty,
say some, and it may be they are correct in their
views What would be demonstration with
out an GRAFTON? 1t is the skeleton we bring
to our feast, the penance we inAict upon our
selves for days amusement. "A few of the
good qualities of the feature are these pen, ink
and paper manufacturers reap benefit for
time; the printers get few extra I" ems "'to
set up and best of all it keeps newspaper re-
porters from being devilish We get wearied
of the reiteration of the standing plattudes kept
especially in reserve for this one OCCASION and
we cannot but think it is aught but habit fixed
and foolish, which draws together motley as
sembly We do not expect to effect any change
in the rules and regulations adopted by our
worthy sres for giving vent to the pent up en-
thusasm, which cannot but be found in all, for
the American penchazt, for speeches and speech
flying, is too curious and universal, especially
as we regard works and not words as the critic
rion of merit. 1t is as the waltz to the German,
the salon to the Frenchman, the bull fight to
the Castillian, and parliamentary reports to the
Englishman-a national spirit enlivening, hea-
yen-invoking characteristic, and as such let US
respect it, as we do that other saliva engender-
ing CUSTOM tobacco chewing Young men and
old let off your exuberant flow of spirits in ex-
toling the merits of your ancestors but look to
it that you carve out for yourselves sure path
to the Presidential seat.

woman interfered, saying that if she were man

The LATE RA1LRoAp ACCIDENT -FoRrY

The LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
PERSONS SUPPOSED TO BE KILLED. -LIsT OF THE
VICTIMS. CHICAGO, June 2S.-The accident on
the Michigan Southern Railroad, last night, oc-
Cured as follows: Ats point where the road
crosses culvert the stream over which it was
built had risen very high, and masses of drift
wood choked up the culvert, causing the water
to be damned up around it, and to weaken the
embankment.
The night train from this city to the East
was proceeding at a moderate rate of speed, when
its weight caused the weakened culvert and en-
bankment to give way, and the whole train was
plunged into hefood. The horrors Of the stu
alton, in the darkness and the flood, with the
screams Of the suffering, crushed, and drowning
passengers cannot be described.
There were about one hundred and fifty pas
sengers on the train, and at the last account
there had been thirty -four bodies recovered. -
But others were missing, who are supposed to
have been drowned. The number Of wounded
is about sixty.
No fault is attributed to the officers of the
train by the surviving passengers.
The train coming West had passed over the
embankment safely, only three hours before the
accident

belonging to this city, who had no parents, and
who was frequently found by our policemen sleep
ing in. outhouses, was complained of and sent by
the Police Court to the'State Reform School at
Westboro. During his confinement, by his good
behavior he won the love and esteem of all the
officers and the keepers of the institution Late
~ wealthy couple of aged persons, on visit
to the school, favorably struck by the boys ap-
pearance, adopted him, gave him their name,
and also announced their intention of making
him heir to an estate of 100000 This should
be an encouragement to the boys committed to
the above school, for by good behavior they may
be as fortunate as little Peter Dodd. -Neaobury-
