Richard Golden was at Suspension Bridge,
Sunday, on his way to Illinois. The Buffalo
Commercial says cit is regretted by many
of our citizens that he could not visit Buffalo.
He was here many years ago, and his leading
recollection of the place is that of being ush-
cred, at night, into a bedroom where about
thirty-fve men raised up their heads at his en-
trance. There was one spare bed which the
host assigned to Mr.. Golden, who explained,
that as an Englishman, he had his prejudices
one OF them being in favor of having sep
arate bedroom. The host was all politeness
he had one spare room, but it was very large
room. THAT is exactly what | like said Mr..
Golden. But said boniface, it is very
large room indeed, sir. We have music and a
band in it, and sometimes dancing That is
just such room as l like, said he. So he
slept that night on a shake-down, in the big
ball room"
The trial of Mr.. Sickles at Washington is
not expected to commence till next Monday.
Mr. Sickles has given Mr.. Bagioli This father
in-law) permission to draw on him for any
amount of money that he may deem necessary
for Mrs. Sickness use The sister of Mr.. Kew,
the murdered man, found some time since, in
her brothers possession, two miniatures of
Mrs. Sickles, and concealed them. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that she has since made
extraordinary exertions to prejudice President
Buchanan, and other persons of influence
against Mr.. Sickles. When Mr.. PendIeton
M, c., brother-in-law of Mr.. Key, left Wash
ington, he said that the family of Mr.. Key
were disposed to leave the disposition of the
case entirely to justice and the law, and for
that reason had engaged no counsel to aid the
prosecution.
The verdict of the coroner's jury in the case
of Mike Walsh was that he came to his death
by apoplexy, caused by being precipitated
down the stone steps of the area where the
body was found, and that violence was resort
ed to by some person or persons unknown
Several witnesses heard the cry of murder in
the neighborhood, and two suspicious looking
men were seen walking rapidly away. So
that it is by no means certain that Walsh was
not foully dealt with.
The Eco dItalia of March 10Th learns from
good authority, which it is not allowed to
name, that the Hungarian patriot, Kossuth,
passed through France, with the consent and
conniyance of the French government, and ar
rived iacognito at Genoa. 1t is supposed that
he will place himself at the head of Hungarian
soldiers now in Lombardy. 1t is well known
fact that during the last ten years Kossuth has
been studying military science.
Mr. j. H. Billiard, hitherto known as a re-
spectacle merchant of Rochester, N Y, has
left his home and deserted his family, to es-
cape the consequences of some unlucky bust
ness transactions. Where he has gone cannot
be discovered, and his wife, whoi is afflicted with
a lingering disease, is, with her children, in
the greatest distress
Mr.. George jacques of the township of Gu
Won, Canada, was so seriously injured on Tues
day, by falling tree, that he died on the next
day. 1t is somewhat singular that Mrs.
Jacques is a second time left widow from the
same cause. Her first husband, Mr.. Martin,
was killed by falling tree and one of her
brothers lost his life two years ago in the same
manner.
Jacob Strawn of Rockford, ILL.,, went to that
State twenty-five years ago, a poor man. He
has reduced to cultivation over 10000 acres of
land, and has now one farm of 1900 acres,
and another of 10000. He usually employs
from 200 to 300 men, and till recently has
stalled from 5000 to 5000 head of cattle every
| year.
