Very

Two weeks ago we published the marriage
of Jared A. Miller to Miss Sarah Dumbauld
both of Liberty township. They were married
on the 18th alt, by Rev. S. Hall, the pastor al
the Methodist church, at Alexandria, who was
called on to preach the funeral of the bride
groom on Sunday the 18th. Mr.. Miller was
the son of John H.. Miller, Esq, and only %
years of age. The marriage was gratifying tc
all parties, and their cup of joy was full; but
doomed to be dashed from their lips. Rev
Mr.. Hall communicating the particulars to us
says =
Young Miller was married eleven days pre-
vious to his death to an amiable young lady
This young and happy pair had been keeping
house but one week before the melancholy
event. On the day of his death he left his ia
theirs residence about | o'clock to go to his
work a half a mile distant and was apparently
in perfect health. Not coming home as usual,
his father fearing all was not well, went to the
field and to his untold grief found his beloved
son lying dead upon his face in the furrow,
with the lines around his arm and neck, and
his horses standing attached to the pillow appa-
rently in the same position that they were when
he fell. 1t is supposed that he dropped instant
ly dead; probably from apoplexy, as there was
no evidence of his moving unless a slight roll
ing of his head.
None but those in like circumstances can
fully know the depth of grief experienced by
the near relatives, especially the young and
lovely bride. BY the very large attendance at
the funeral last Tuesday was evinced the fact
that in their deep bereavement they were liter
ally surrounded by sympathising friends. May
God sustain them in their afliction.-Newark

HIGH WATERS.

The people on the lower Mississippi are
again suffering from the annual oTerhowing OF
the Father of Waters. The rise this spring
has been greater than ever before known, and
notwithstanding the precautionary measures
adopted by throwing up levees, digging canals
from the river to the swamps, &c the crevas-
ses this spring have heeE unusually numerous
and the devastation oceasioned correspopdiEgly
greats single one, that Oh the plantations of
MessrsA Bouligny ami Gauncheau, thirts-6ve
miles above New Orleans, having already done
damage to the amount of 81, 900, and its
devastations were daily extending. New Or
leans itself, at date of last adviees, was partial
ly overlooked by the water breaking over the
city levees, and still more serious trouble was
unprecedented by the threatened giving way of
the entertainments some distance above the city,
to prevevent which, if possible, a large force
and a vast quantity Of lumber were sent up by
the city Authorities. It must be a serious
drawback on the enjoyment of life in that re-
gion to live in constant dread Of being drown
ed out by the irresistible iced of waters seek
ing their way from the far north ana vest to
the Gulf of Mexico-dificulties which seem
to be every year increasing.

Carolina jury; . citizen of Pennsylvania is
driven of from a Town in Mississippi while at
tempting TO collect a debt, merely because he

THE RESCUE a

The testimony for the persecution, III the case Of
LAxcsroN, has just c!osed. and that for the de-
fence commenced. Taoe indicted, Number in
all t~hirtyseven, and as each is to be tried sep
~arately, and the same evidence in substance
will be adduced on each trial, the end will prob
baby be reached in eighteen months to two
years, if each case is to consume as much time
Is the two already called The excitement
growing ont Of the trials still continues in the
the Reserve counties, and much intrest is felt
in the proceedings throughout the State. The
two kentucky slave-hunters, Jennings and Mitch
ell, have received temporary relief from their
close confinement rendered necessary to keep
out of the clutches of the sheriff of Lorain9 by
an arrangement entered into between that Of
feer and the q. 8, Marshal, By which the for
mer agreed to cease his efforts to effect the ar
rest while their presence as witnesses is requir-
ed, and the latter pledged himself to give due
notice of the time oftheir rvlUases it being the NJ
tention of the government officers (the Cleye-
land papers intimate) to premit the arrests to
be made, ard then take the parties from the
custody of the Lorain officers by means of a
writ of habeas corpus from Judge Wilson, who
viii discharge them, when they win be started
for their homes in Kentucky. A preoeed-
ing of this ki0d would be in perfect keeping
with the manner in which everything pretain-
ing to the affair has thus far beer conducted.
The application to the Supreme Court for a
writ of habeas corpus, in behalf of the escuers
was net saocesauIthe writ being refused on
the ground that ethe U. s.. District Court has
not yet exhausted its authority; that is to say,
the prisoners have not yet been sentenced, and.
until sentenced, it is to be presumed that right
and justice viii be done in the premises by the
District Court" No opinion was passed upon
the constitutionality of the fugitive slave Ia v.
This action on the part of y Ohio Court is
in striking contrast with that of the Courts
tons affecting the intrests of slavery are invol-
we'd. ~ -
The President It seems, is keeping a close
watch upon the proceedings at Cleveland, with
a view, doubtless, Of ordering military aid if
necessary, as in the case of Kansas, and that of
the Slave Burns, at Boston; but we have no
intimation that the trial of the crew of the
SLAYER Echo, at Charleston, attracted the least
degree of attention from that dignitary. The
Washington Constitution, lately the Unioa1 of
the 28th says: "The President, list evening,
received a telegraphic dispatch, dated Cleve-
land, from the Marshal of the Northern Dis
trict of Ohio, stating that the Supreme Court
of that State had unanimously refused the writ
of habeas corpus in the case ofthe persons in his
custody, under the fugitive slave law, and that
three of the most respectable of them had given
bail for their appearance to stand their trial
before the District Court of the United States
Everything was quiet"

DEATH OF THE KENTUCKY GIANT-JAMEs
d. PORTER, known far and wide as the Ken
lucky Giant, died of affection of the heart, at
his residence in Portland, KY, on Sunday night
oath ult., in his 5oth year, The Courier OF
monday well says Of him:
His extraordinary height, being about seven
feet nine inches. ranked him as the tallest man
in the world. He seemed to labor under the
consciousness That he was an object Of univer-
sal curiosity, and Stunned rather than sought
the public gaze. He was modest and retiring
the very soul Of honor and honesty. His social
feelings were elevated aud refined, his affections
strong and marked, lie wasa gentleman OF
intelligence, and welded a considerable inFu-
epce among his ~neighbors andfriends. His cof-
nm was 8 feet l inch in length and two feet across

.CAMPHENE-A YOUNG LADY BURNED Tc
DEArH.-About two o'clock this morning,
sad accident occurred at No. T83 Sixth street
by which Miss Matilda Sawyer, a beautiful and
intelligent young lady, twenty years of age
lost her life.
Deceased boarded with Mrs. Holmes, and
was engaged to be married in a few days. Her
betrothed visited her last night, and left the
house about one O'Clock. Appearances indi
cate that she went to her room and sat down
on the bed and went to sewing, with her clothes
on, and that the ~camphene lamp, on the stand
by the side of the bed, upset, exploded, and set
FIRE to the bed-clotbes.
Mrs. Holmes. the landlady, heard her screens
and ran to the room, and met Miss Sawyer
coming through the back parlor completely
enveloped in flames, She called out, begging
Mrs. Holmes to throw a quilt over her, which
she did but Immediately the deceased fell
down exhausted. The fire burned through the
quilt and communicated to articles in the
room, and it was with difficulty that the chill
dren in the apartment were saved. In her eff
forts to extinguish the flames and save Miss
Sawyer, Mrs. Holmes was badly burned on the
arms and face.
The alarm Of fire having been raised, the
neighbors went promptly to render assistance
and the flames were extinguished with but
triaing damage to the premises but they were
too late to save Miss Sawyer. Her body was
charred in a shocking manner, and she expired
in q few minutes.-Neao York Post, %.

ANNUAL snss1oNs.

in reply to the structures Of the Capital
proposed Constitutional amendment, we beg to
say we did not object to the measure because
it "e1nanated from u Democratic legislature
but because it docs not provide for annual
elections as well as annual sessions. 1t does
not, in our estimation, make the proposition
as it now stands any the less Objectionable be-
cause it was "int-odnced by Mr.. SLADE, the Re-
publican Senator from Cuyahoga, and urged
and advocated by him with all his vigor and
as arraying ourself decidedly against the
measure-but It is Objectionable in consequence
of the shape in which it is submitted, and in
view of the large vote necessary to adopt it, is
in great danger of defeat, whereas, were it 80
framed as to authorize annual elections there
would be no question of its success. There is
but little force in the argument that annual
elections are undesirable because it requires at
least the experience of one session to become ac-
quainted with the routine of business. Neither
the gentleman who presided over the last SEN
ate, nor the Speaker of the House, had ever
been a member of a Legislative body before,
and both discharged their duties In an unex-
ceptionsble manner. Any man Of ordinary
intelligence and capacity can acquire as thor
ough q knowledge Of the order of business in

Goodale & Co.'s Wool Circular for
NAV.

The months of April and May are usually
characterised by extreme dullness in the wool
market. We think, however, there has been
less activity during the past month than has
generally been noticed.
This may be accounted for from the fact
that all large manufacturers, had since Janua-
ry, supplied themselves with a stock sufficient
to carry them beyond the incoming clip, and
is also in part attributable to the fact that all
dealers are intent upon reducing the high pri-
ces that prevailed for the last three months
Sales of wool East have for these reasons been
limited and there has been but few transac-
tons except on private terms.
The recent "wool sales in Europe indicate
a slight advance in that quarter. We have no
change to note in our W market, and for
quotations which in the absence of sales are
merely nominal, would refer you to our last
circular.
Our receipts have been lighter during the
past month than any corresponding time for
the last six years, which is conclusive evidence
(f we had no other) of the limited amount of
wool in the west.
Great activity and fair prices, which will
continue until Fan, may be expected at shear
ing time.
Owing to the recent cold and stormy wealth
er. washing and shearing viii be delayed longer
than was anticipated two weeks ago., at which
time everything gave promise Of an. early
Spring.

The Harthauake at Quito.

On the 72d day of March, at halfpast eight
inssthe morning, an earthquake, which shook the
m ouatain range of Chimborazo for the space OF
four minutes, destroyed almost entirely the city
oftuito,a and killed from 1000 to 5000 persons.
The churches, monasteries, converts and state
edifices are almost all rent to fragments. The
Convent ofSan Agustin, the Tabernacle de la
Capilla, the Temple of the Segrario, the Cath
edral, the Convent of Santa Catalina, the Pla-
clio del Obispo, the Chapelof la MERGED, the
Chapels Of the Cathedral, of the Campania, of
Hospital, of CARMEN Vajo, the ~cloisters of the
Convent of Santa Domingo, a part ofthe Con
victoria San Fernando, are all partially or
wholly in ruins. Also, the Converts of San
Diego, Santa Clara and Santa Barbara. There
Is scarcely a house in the city that is not badly
damaged.
That portion of the Palace occupied by the
Minister of the Interior, a great part of the
College of San Luis and the splendid mansion
Of DR.. Albuja, have also fallen. An the prin-
cipal buildings of the neighboring towns Of San
Antonio, Cotocolla. Machacha, C~hillogallo and
Magdalena, have been destroyed The loss Of
property is estimated at three millions Of dol
lars; and from the poverty Of the people it
win be impossible to repair and rebuild any
great number of the better class of ediices de-
stroyed. The shocks were felt simultaneously
in Tacunga, Ambato and Alausi, and in Tin
paIlo the earth opened in various places. The
earthquake was also felt at Guayaquil, but did
no damage there. .ae- ~
The temples of San Francisco, del Sagrario,
aud Santa Clara, were ofbeautiful architecturei
the temples and converts Of Ssnto Domingo,
la MERGED and San Augustin, all had fine stone
facades and towers; the temples of Santa Gaia
Lima and Conception, and the hospital, also had
stone facades. - 7as gcv ~, s-s:,s.
Quito is said to contain about 10000 in

against the mountains of Panecillo, and Pieh

A Hard Case.

An old man named George HoagIad, says
the Mt. Vernon Banner, whose hair is as white
as snow, who had served his country in the war
of 1872, receiving wounds which have rendered
him a cripple, was arranged in Court on Sat
urday, on several indictments for selling liquor,
contrary to law. The old man plead guilty to
the charge-said he would not tell a lie about
it-but plead as all excuse that he was too old
and inirm to work, and had no other way of
making a living. Judge Finch appeared to be
much Affected by the old mans story and APP
pearance, and remarked that he was sorry that
any man who had defended his country in early
life, should now, in his old age, be engaged in
a business that creates misery, restitution and
crime. 1t was painful for him to be under the
necessity of passing sentence upon so old a man
but the law made it his duty to do so. He
would therefore make the sentence as light as
the law allows. In the first case defendant was
sentenced to ten days Imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $40, and in the second case to thirty
days Imprisonment and pay a fine of$2o. The
other cases against the defendant were contin-
ued, to be disposed of hereafter according to
his behavior.

Z From the Gold REGIONS.

-dST. Louis, April 2S.-The Leavenworth
portion of the locating party, dispatched by
overland Express, returned yesterday, bringing
Intelligence to the 9th of april from Denver
city. They report the route every way adapted
to the requirements of ~travel-grass, wood and
water abundant, The stages which left here
on the 8th passed near the head waters of Sol
omon's Fork, getting along well.
There WAS no diminution of confidence
among the miners. Flattering reports contin-
ned from the mountains. The richest pres
p~eetsaare found in the vicinity of South Park
and Arrappahoe, but the ground is still frozen
and SHOWS heavy there.
Three men were hung at Denver city. on the
6th inst, for murder, by the vigilance commit
tee. Great excitement existed when inform
ants left.
Large numbers of emigrants were pursuing
the new road. The surveyors estimate of the
maximum distance from Leavenworth to Den
yer city, is five hundred miles.
