A Son CnAroE I'VE met IN the street yes
ierday an abandoned girl who frequents River
street aud the docks, the record Of whose life
would make sad but startling romance. A
few years ago she was the fond and petted child
on one or tho weallhicst men Of Licking county,
Reared in opulcncc and luxury, she had every
advantage that love or money could procure
for her, and speedily became one'oG the most ed
ucatcd rcHned and companionOble young la
dies TO be anywhere found. With naturally
superior intellect she added TO her accomplish
ments all that able teachers and aptness to learn
could furnish. A year or two SINCE her father
died, leaving bis wife and this daughter to
mourn over him. Previous to this time, the
daughter had been acquainted with gentleman
a widower, and the acquaintanceship of the two
ripened into an affection which was expected
to lead to marriage. Soon after the death o.
the father, the mother laid her plans to secure
the aforesaid widower for her own companion
rather than as her son-in-lsw Her plans al
length succeeded and the two we're mnrred, leav
ing the poor girl to lament the uulaithIulness o
her lover, aud the cruelty Of her mother Sh'
soon grew desperate, and, having lost oil joy it
life, she plunged into dissipation, and from tha
into prostitution, and she is nov, at the age o
ls, a common prostitute in this city, when he
qualifications it her for adorning any circles o
society. Before entering upon this course o
vice, she could readily and pleasantly convers
upon history, science, literature, or languages
aud was as accomplished as stu6ious. Wha
she is now and what her course will lead her to
how she abuses and degrades her noble talents;
what dark and horrible future opens up t
her how she will live and how she will die, cal
be imagined but not described. Unheeding al
efforts from her downward course, she lives he
life away, but who would care to be in the plac
of that mother who was the unthnking cause o
this abasement-Ci,Ue. Leader.

The remains of Thurston, the aronaut, who
met his death by his unfortunate ascension from
Adrian, Mich, last September. were accidental
ly found on Sunday evening last, about ten miles
from the place of his second ascent They
were taken TO Adrian and fully identified. The
body is almost wholly decOmposed, but a
watch, money, and several articles were found,
on which the supposition rested that the re-
mains were those of the missing man. The
hole found by the spiritual seer where it was
represented lie went in, has thus proved some
what fanciful.

HUNG BY CoRPsE.-A singular occurrence
took place few nights since some four or five
miles from Cincinnati, at place called Cum
minsville. A resurectionist had robbed grave,
sacked the corpse, and in making his exit had a
fence to scale. The string that closed the
mouth of the sack, was placed across his breast
so as to enable him to use bis hands. After
mounting the fence he must have slipped over,
the other, and the string so tight about the
neck as to have produced death. The story
though apparently incredible, is vouched for by

SEs4foR WADE bFoUght down the Senate on
The evening Of Friday, last week. The Home
stead bill was under consideration, and Toombs
Of Georgia. made regular Southern stump
speech, full Of wrath, cabbage and fury, spiced
with menace and bravado towards Senator Sew
ard. The able correspondent Of the N. Y. In
dependent gives very graphic account of the
affair." aud thus alludes to "'The brave old Wade
Of Chic, who had sat where the huge swinging
fists OF the excited Georgian had passed over
bis very head, came up to his feet as If touched
by the two poles of a battery. Everybody
likes Wade. He is the true type of the West.
The emotion Of fear he is unacquanted with,
and he is as rough aud unpublished as he is hon
est and frank. His very countenance and bear

making boy Of yourself thinking we are child
ish enough to be frightened at your exhibition"
With all his candor and straightforwardness
Wade is also something Of wit Imagine how

follows: "Mr President the question before
us is that Of lands for the landless,' or nigger'
for the niggerless :" The whole Senate will

himself shook his fat sides and laughed immod-
erately Then Wade began in sober earnest.

The Tribune also passes very just compli-

devotedness rarely equaled and never excelled;
