EtosrNENr-On Friday last Mrs. Philpena
Scieaer, Of Christie st., New York, left her
husband, eloping with miserable little Ger
man, npmsd Charles BetCh. Mr.. Schieder did
not particularly object to his wife running
away, but as she took with her his three boys
and about $500 of his cash, he is anxious to
discover her whereabouts. The children are
aged, respectively, eleven, six and four years.
That night some person attempted to set Mr..
Schieder's house on fire, by piling large heap
of combustibles against the front door, and
ignitng them; but being discovered in time,
few pals of water put the fire out. 1t is
surmised that it was the design Of the incen-
diary to burn up Mr.. Schieder and his daugh
ter, young lady of fifteen, whom his wife had
not succeeded in seducing from home.
The BLENNERHAssET FAMILY.-Mr. W. H.
Stafford, who has just obtained the Blenner-
hasset papers for publication, thus describes
them: They consist chiefly of his private
journals, correspondence, essays, historical and
political, letters in relation to the Burr con-
spiraoy, from Burr, Alston, Tyler, Bollman,
Meade, Floyd, ana others implicated also the
journal of the expedition, until arrested and
broken up. have also the letters, manuscripts
and fugitive pieces of poetry of Lady Blen-
nerhasset which of themselves would form
respectfully sized volume. Those papers are
voluminous, and afford a satisfactory biogra-
ply of the Blennerhasset family, and minute
and complete disclosure of the objects and of
parties concerned in the Burr expedition.
FROZEN TO DEATH.-A lumber raft on which
were two brothers, named Bush and a man
named Farrell, came out of Kanawha River at
Parkersburg on Friday night last, which was
very cold. They were perfectly exhausted
With the labor of coming down the Kanawha
and desired to lay up at Parkersburg. They
had lost their rope overheard and had no boat,
so they tried to obtain assistance by halooing,
but no one heard them, and they foated into
the Ohio, where they were found near Old Two
Rocks by the steamer Pomeroy. The two
brothers Bush had frozen to death, but Farrell
was with some difficulty resuscitated.- Wheel
