A Mystery Explained.

Our readers will remember that in June. 1851,
Mr.. Francis Baurass,, af tho firm of Buurasso It
Pruyn, lelt this city ol voyage to Europe. a
fow months afterwards pews came to his family
that he had been Dir wned near the const Of France
while oui in nm open boat endeaynring to oatch
tho Bordeaux steamer AZ he hnd u considerable
amount oi money with him ut tho time. it was fear
ed that he Ind been murdered. aud IA years pass.
cd and nothing WINS heard Of him, his friends set-
tied down to the conviction that such had been
his fate. Within n few months suit was com-
menced by his representatives against an insur.
anec company which had issued policy upon his
life, nnd the ease was to have been tried at the
next circuit court.
\ few weeks since. Dir. Richard Bloss, of this
city. received n letter from New Orleans from q
stranger, inquring alter iamlv by the name Of
Bonrnsso. pr. H. answered tho letter. giving tho
writer tho Information hc desired. and he SOM re-
ccised another communication from Mr.. Bourasso
himself giving assurance Of his snfcty. DIR. Bloss
started with this letter in his pocket to the ros-
deuce Of Mrs. lleumssa but on hisway was thrown
out oi his carriage, the lottcr wasl lost, nnd DR..
Bless remained in stnto Of insensbility for n
l,ng time, aud unable to communicate tho glad
tdngs to the person mos, Interested.
lilo was nj Inst able to make known these faots
90 Mrs Bonrnsso, and correspondence followed,
in which mutual explanations were mndc between
the long-scparaicd husband and wife. 1t seems
Mr.. lbourasso became concerncd in some govern.
ment difficulties. and was imprisoned in France.
On hs ESCAPE, he heard that hs wifc had mar
riei ngnin. nnd was nescr disahuscd Of this erro.
nrous impression until recently Mr.. Bonrasso
will be IN his former homo again in few weeks.

and, with young nun, took up her residence in
Milsboro The uoband made his appearance one
day, and the two proceeded from the house
and sat down upon log. and calmly talked the
matter over, regarding it in all its bearings. The
result OF the conference was, that tho young man
who was in possession of the wife agreed to give
the lawful but in urcd and forsnkcn husband, the
of seven dollars and dog for his wife! Thus
this difficult and dangerous business compro-

Aea, At Carlinsville, ILL.,, some days ago
the " boys" hung up avagrant fellow named
Peter Smith, but the rope fortunately
breaking, Smiths life was saved. Smith
had been in the habit of appropriating little
articles of horse furniture that came in his
way. not disdaining the noble animals
themselves when opportunity favored; and
this method was adopted to admonish him
that his presence was no longer desired in
the community. The hint was sufficient,
and he has no more been seen in those
parts.

advertising patronage, larger in the aggrr-

doubt this considerably. It is not always
the quantity of advertisements that shows
the standing OF paper or its value. We
will venture that our books will compare
favOrably with the COurier's, in advertise
ments for the last year, and no attempt has
been made to drum up advertisements in
any of the larger cities. We prefer TO rep
resent the business of our own city rather
than any other, and so long as our people
give us as generous support ms they have
heretofore, we shall not be likely to take
extra pains to persuade our people to buy
their goods and machinery at other places.
