The FRosr IN New HAMPsHIRE-Yester-
day at sunset there were marked indications of.
a cold night impending, SO much so that all
our careful gardeners covered over the more
tender of their vegetables. Newspapers,
shawls, and quilts, were put in active requisi-
ton. At daylight, early risers found heavy
frost on the plants and grass, while the open
ploughed ground was frozen to the depth of a
quarter of an inch. The thermometer varied
from two to three degrees below the freezing
point, and we noticed ice at five O'Clock one
eighth Of an inch thick. All up the Merri-
mack valley, beans, tomatoes, grape blossoms
cucumDers, squashes, and to some extent corn
was entirely cut down. In gardens. however
fences, trees, and shrubbery partially nrotected
them.
One of our Oldest citizens, who is well most.
cd in weather statistics, informs us that n IL
the heaviest frost which has occurred in South
ern New Hampshire in the month of June since
the 18th of June, l8l6--a period of forfy-tLree
years.
As for ourselves, we covered up our toma.
toes, cucumbers, and corn-but trusted the
beans to Providence. The result was that we
found, as Nermonter would saw every
"darned" bean killed Off this morning Two
of our neighbors were up at four o'clock, and
began to shower everything. grape vines, and
all, with water. The experiment was good
one. The ice having greater affinity for the
water collected on the surface of the leaves, and
the plants were saved. Another gentleman
built couple Of fires in his garden, and by
the aid Of heat and smoke saved everything.
The use Of water, however, is the best and
easiest means Of overcoming the effects OF
irosts on vegetation, and those using it before
six o'clock this morning set an example which
in such emergencies will hereafter be general
~ resortcd to by agriculturists.

DEATH OF AN ACTREss-StaRge Domestic
HiStory.-Sunday evening, about dusk, the
body of young and handsome woman, rich
" dressed and ornamented with profusi0n of
jewelry, foated ashore near Fort Hamilton,
New York. The body was recognized as that
of Fanny Deane, an actress, who, two years
ago, married an Englishman named Halseyy
and thence, it would seem, began a career of
ruin. The investigation has brought to light
a series of unparalleled revelations of domes-
tic unhappiness and crime. She had descend
ed from good though impoverished family,
and in early life exhibited such a tact for poe
try and dramatic literature, that she was edu-
Gated for the stage and at the time of her
death. had an engagement at Wallack's Thea
tire. Two years ago, Mr. Halsey, gentleman
supposed to have expectations" and there
fore tayorite with the young actresses with
whom he sought association, first saw Miss
Deane in the "Game of Life" He afterwards
became acquainted with her in the green
room of the theatre and in six weeks they
were married. On the morning of her dis
appearance she had been detected in an
illicit correspondence with gentleman in
the city of Brooklyn, and her husband attri-
butes her death to suicide caused by her re-
morse. The mother of the deceased, howev-
er, does not hesitate to avow her belief that
her daughter has been murdered by her hus-
band. She says he Is an lAVeterate ana I'M
scrupulous gambler, and that he has compelled
her to borrow money of the pan whom he
charges with causing the infidelity Of his wife,
which he has spent at the gaming table, and has
even pawned her clothing, the proceeds (which
he has dissipated in like manner. Mr.. Halsey
has been arrested, and awaits his trial. The
deceased was scarcely Is years of age. Her
husband is thirty-three. He commenced life
as a lieutenant in the English army
Like many other young men of means and
family, whom the pursuit of tickle fortune
had ruined, he sold his commission and fled for
refuge from his hungry creditors to this coun-
try. In the English capital he was an init
mate associate of Mr.. Held, one Of the hus-
bands of Lola Montez. He had no active pro-
fession.

The FAMOUS BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
Chance for Compromise. ST. Louis Dem
ocrat closes its account of the celebrated trial,
in which Miss Effie Carzstang recovered of
Mr.. Henry Shaw 100000, for breach of
promise, with the following reflections:
Though the defendant, Mr.. Shaw, is very
rich, some surprise is expressed at the liberal
ity of the jury. We presume they are all
honorable gentlemen, yet their action recalls
the well-known lines of Hudibras
For saints themselves will sometimes be
Or gifts that cost them nothing, free.'
There are few, if any, instances on record
in which SO large SUN has been considered
necessary to soothe the anguish of lady fair,
deserted by her lover. Now that Miss Carr
tang has respectable dowry, we would re-
commend Mr.. Shaw to entreat her forgiveness
and renew his suit. The sex are never as
generous as in the hour of triumph Though
we are told
Hell hath no fury like woman scorned,'
yet we know from Tennyson's poem, The
Process, that they are conquered by their own
victories. Let MIR. Shaw strike while the iron
is hot, or rather, while the gold is hot, for
Miss Efiie's character has come out of the or
deal to which it was subjected, like gold from
the furnace. We are for compromise of this
kind between the parties, especially as it would
be likely to leave the lawyers in the lurch for
the big fees they calculate upon getting. Let
the lady and gentleman strike hands, and so
strike the lawyers with dismay."

DEATH IN GYMNAsIUM.-Henry T.
Barnes, the son of the editor of the Detroit
Tribune, was found in the gymnasium of that
city, on Friday last, hanging lifeless by strap
from one of the ladders, 1t is supposed he was
experimenting, with the strap about his neck,
upon the ladder, and that he accidentally lost
his footing, and so suddenly stranged as to
prevent his helping himself with his hands or
feet lie was stripped and beted for ordinary
exercise. He was of a naturally cheerful dis
position, was not subject to dependency, and
had no reason for committing self-destructon,
that is known or that was ever intimated by
word or hint, which seems to preclude any idea
save that which the jury have embodied in
their verdict. He connected himself with the
Baptist church about year since, with an old
er brother and sister, aud had derived great
happiness from his new experience and his
church relation.

SuRINKAGE IN THE MANTLE OF CHARITY.
This unique extract is taken from the Rev.
DIR. Chapn's sermon OH shameful Life:
81 suppose the mantle Of Christian charity
should cover everybody. But, perhaps, we
ought to allow for little natural shrnkage !;
and if there is anybody that it won't cover,
and that ought to have the privilege of lying
outside the hem Of it, in the cold blast and the
biting frost, 1t is that man who trades in wo-
mans affection, who drags her down to ruin
who leaves her to suffer the guilt who goes
on, smiling, to new conquests, and boasts of
his victory. Smooth, smiling, hattered, honor
ed, welcomed in refined society, entertained
in respectable homes--when his only use in
the world seems to be to make men believe in
the devil, or rather to feel that any particular
devil is necessary"

MEETING OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The monthly meeting of the School Commit
tee was held last evening, Hon. w. w. Rice
in the chair. The reports of the schools were
favorable, indicating in the lower grades an
excess of pupils, for whom there is no ade
quate provision. The daily attendance in the
primary schools exceeds by 200 the number
of seats in those schools, and the whole at
tendance shows an excess of five hundred. A
protracted discussion ensued upon the petitions
of citizens Of New Worcester, asking for
change in their Grammar School. 1t was de-
cided to authorize the committee of that school
with the Superintendent to employ a female
teacher there. In recommending the change,
the committee disclamed any distrust of
the attainments of Mr.. Haskins as a scholar
or his capacity as a teacher. In consequence
of the stress of attendance in the Ash street
school house, the committees for that section
were authorized to make such transfers and
promotions as we're desirable The committee
on the Tatnuc school were authorized to sus-
pend it at their discretion during the rest of
the term. The resignation of Miss Charlotte
G. Henry, teacher of the Main street North
Primary. was accepted. No other business of
general interest was brought forward.

ing it once enjoyed among the benevolent or

that public sentiment in favor of total absti-

public sobriety. Dr. Jewett proposes to lee

TIE Position OF MICHIGAN.-However
widely the Republican party of other States
may have departed or may be willing hereaf-
ter to depart, from the principles which
brought it into existence, for the mere purpose
of defeating the present national administra-
ton, we feel justified in saying that the Repub-
lican party of Michigan will not swerve a sim
gle point from the line marked out by them
when they cut loose from all old alliances and
formed their present organization. Let Repub.
licans elsewhere do as they may, those of this
State stand now, and will continue to stand,
where they took their position in 1854. What
ever difference Of opinion there may be
amongst the Republican party in other States,
upon the slavery question or the policy to be
pursued upon the Presidential question, there
is none in this State. Republicans here are a
unit The Republican press and individual
Republicans hold but one scntiment-express
but one opinion, and chat is in favor of preserv-
ing the integrity of the Republican party, and
adhering to all its principles, in every contin-
gency. 1t is from this universal concurrence
of opinion that we have felt authorized to de.
clare as confidently as we have, that the Re-
publican party will enter into no alliance that
involves a sacrifice of the party or principles
which have carried them successfully through
SO many campaigns, and won for them so
many brilliant triumphs over the enemies of
freedom.-Dehot Advertiser.

The BATTLE OF MoNTEBELLo IN JUNE,
l0OO.-lt is interesting to mark the similarity,
doubtless in great part intentional, between the
opening of the Italian Campaign by Napoleon
in 1900, and by Louis Napoleon in 1859. The
following is an account of the first battle of
Montebello
From Abbott's Lite of Napoleon,
The following laconic characteristic order was
issued by the First Consul to Lannes and Mu-
rat:
"Gather your forces at the River Stradella.
On the 8th or 9th at the latest you will have
on your hands fifteen or eighteen thousand
Austrians. Meet them and cnt them to pieces.
1t will be so many enemies less upon our
hands on the day of the decisive battle we are
to expect with the entire army of Melas."
The prediction was true. An Austrian
force advanced eighteen thousand strong
Lannes met them on the field of Montebello.
They were strongly posted, with batteries
ranged upon the hill sides which swept the
whole plain 1t was of the utmost Importance
that this body should be prevented from COM
bining with the other vast forces of the Aus
TRANS. Lannes had but eight thousand men.
Could he sustain the unequal conflict for few
hours, Victor, who was some miles in the rear,
could come up with the reserve of four thou
sand men. The French soldiers, fully con-
scious of the odds against which they were to
contend, and of the carnage into the midst of
which they were plunging, with shouts of en-
thusiasm rushed upon their foes Instantan-
eousy a storm of grapeshot from all the bat
teries swept through his ranks. Said Lannes.
81 could hear the bones crash in ma diviSion like
glass IN a hail storm"
For nine long hours, from eleven in the
morning till eight at night, the horrid carnage
continued. Again and again. the manged,
bleeding, wasted columns were rallied to the
charge. AT last, when three thousand French
men were strewn dead upon the ground, the
Austrians broke and fled, leaving also three
thousand mutilated corpses and six thousand
prisoners behind them Napoleon, fastening
to the aid of his lieutenant, arrived upon the
field just in time to see the battle won He
rode up to Lannes. The intrepid soldier stood
in the midst of mounds of the dead, his sword
dripping with blood in his exhausted hand, his
face blackened with powder and smoke, and
his uniform soiled and tattered by the long and
terrific strife. Napoleon silently but proudly
smiled upon the heroic general, and forgot not
his reward. From this battle Lannes received
the title of Duke of Montebelo title by
which the family is distinguished to the pres
ent day. This was the opening of the cam
paign.

thought that after the retreat of Thursday
the enemy would perhaps again attack the
advanced guard of our army.
You will not have forgotten that from the
time of the Gallo and Punic wars down to the
last great European conflict, Montebello and
Casteggio have been important military posi-
tons. This aforementioned place was beseiged
by Hannibal, who did not really conquer it,
but bought it from Publius Darius A re-
markable memorial of the Carthaginian Gen
eral still exlsts-a spring of very pure water,
called by the immemorial tradition "The Fon-
tame d'Annibale"
1t was near Casteggio that, on the 9th of
June, 1900, the great battle between the
French and Austrians was fought. This bat
tie, so wonderfully described by Theirs, is us.
ually called the battle of Monticello, from the
village where the French army finally routed
the corps de reserve of the enemy. Fifty years
ago the fortune of the day was decided by the
bold assault of Gen. Beuret, who paid with his
life the victory obtained by the Forey dvi-
sion, brigade of which he commanded. and
by the Sandman cavalry under the orders of
Col de Sonnaz.
At ii o'clock yesterday 5000 Austrians,
under the order of Gen. Zobel, were seen to
move towards the Piedmontese positions of
Monticello, which were occupied by 800 Sardin-
ian horsemen supported by two batteries The
Austrians were marching in echelons, their
right wing bent in the direction of Branduzzo,
their left flank, supported by large artillery,
on Casona, while their columns of attack of the
center, advanced, by Pazale, towards ourljnes
of Monticello.
AS soon as Gen. Forey was reused by roll
after roll of musketry on the left, and by the
sharp report of Austrians and Piedmontese
guns, he marched with the I'd brigade of his
division in the direction of Montebello to sup
port the Piedmontese cavalry, which by this
time had already advanced to meet the enemy
The battle of Monticello scarcely admits of
description. 1t was a series of dreadful deeds
of daring, hand-to-hand fights, of sanguinary
encounters, Of desperate charges and assaults
The shells and bullets of the Austrians burst
so thickly among our troops that our center,
already engaged, was obliged to fall back ON
