A GREAT CHASaE IN INDIVIDUAL CrR-
cuxsrascEs.-There is man in this city,
n Frepchmau, who has experienced very
sad reverse of fortune. He was born in the
midst of fprincely luxury, his father holding
a high position in the government Of Ma
poleon l. His baptism was conducted with
almost royal ceremony, Prince Murat
standing as his godfather, and no less .
parsonage than the Empress Josephine as
bis god-mother. In the changes ofgovern-
ment which followed, the child was banish-
ed from France, and in this country be has
lived life Of extreme poverty. He is now
a hog,dripsr in the vicinity Of Brir gton.-
He is dissipated in his habits, and drunk
most Of the time. The French government
recently allowed him small pension, ous
he spends that, and all of his trifiing earn
ings for wbisky.-Cia Times.

Behind the Scenes.

The writer of the "money article" for
our religious cotemporary, the Independ-
dependent, notices new method TO facili-
tate trade in the Boston market, viz: the
opening and furnishing of a private room
with liquors and cigars in leading jobbing
establishment in that city. Whether this
new tangled "notion" in the "modern
Athens" has proved profitable expert
ment or not, be is unable to say, but he is
advised that said fashion has recently been
introduced into New York. The writer
says:
..We are reliably informed that large
business firm in this city, have W con-
nected with their establishment, in full
blast, weH+furnished eating, drinking and
smoking saloon, where the customers Of
the house are regularly introduced at GER
tain hours, and if occasion requires, at in
tervals of several times between"
This is bad enough, some slaid, old fogy
people may think-but there is worse to
come.
From the Independent.
"Another large wealthy house, also
has determined TO lead off in another di-
rection. A highly respectable New Or
leans merchant has through the Jeneuo-
lenee of said firm, been put through all
the performances of the ciLy-from the re-
fining' opera down to the e---.
As in the first mentioned case we have re
liable information, and beg to state for the
benefit of the public, that the bills for all
these entertainments and performances
amounted to sl2o federal money"
The morale of all of which is.
"When old cocks crow, the young ones
learn, and hencs the public need not be
surprised at such developments as the re-
cent defalcations and other rascalities we
read of in the daily papers"

An ELoPEHEST-A SAD CAsE.-We re-
gret to learn Of a sad case Of elopemenf
from this city, the facts of which have only
just been developed. The parties are a
Mrs. John Dunning, wife Of the Sexton Of
the I'd NJ. E. Church, highly respectable
man, and a Mr.. Jenness, blacksmith,
formerly IN the employ of Mr. J. B. Skin
ner. Several weeks ago Mrs. Dunning ex-
pressed a desire to visit some fiienGs at
JanesviIle, and made preparat ons accord
ingly for that purpose. She IS said to be
in the habit Of spending much more money
than her husbands means would warrant
but on this occasion he bought her q silk
dress for twenty-five dollars, and otherwise
supplied her with all she required TO the
EXTREMIST limits Of his purse.
Some suspicion had been entertained Of
an undue intimacy with Jenness, but the
husband not having seen or heard anything
70 awaken his fears for some time, hoped
that it really amounted to nothing, and
felt willing to DO all in his power TO graf
ify, and make her contented at home. The
infatuated woman has two children, one a
boy of eight, the other girl Of nine years
old, The boy accompanied her to James
vile; the girl remained at home. The
husband suspected nothing until the two
weeks, the time Of her visit, had expired,
and she did not return. lie then searched
and found that she had taken every article
of her own clothing, and personal property
with her, and also the chiId's.
About the same time, Mr.. Jenncss, who
had left Mr. SINNERS employ, appeared
and demanded balance Of wages due him
and urged lis necessity, that Mr.. Skinner,
at some inconvenience, felt compelled to
procure for him. 1t was soon discovered
that they had left GAINESVILLE together, and
are supposed to have gone either to Yer
mont or Ohio. We are told by another
informant that Jcnness formerly lived in
GAINESVILLE. and is dark conplexioned
man, five feet eight inches high, with black
hair, and sharp black eyes. The husband
is in great affiiction, but whether lie will
consider it worth his while to pursue his
truant wife, We do not know.-Rochtord

s25.44 per week.
The average number Of paupers as sta
ted IN the report Of the Commissioners Of
the Poor, supported in the County Poor
House at any one time during the last
year, did not exceed the number oftwelve
persons.
The whole number of days during the
year past Of all the paupers at the Poor
Farm was 2,9Gl, which is equal to 423
weeks, making the cost of boarding for
each pauper at the Poor House, per week,
1913, or 4 and 5 ! cents per day, with
out the production Of The farm.
The inventory Of the property on the
poor farm for 1897, as estsmated by the
Poor Commissioners and stated in their
report, in schedule marked E., amounts to
Se,2542 20, an increase over last years in
ventory Of $59105.
As to the particular correctness of said
estimate, your committee is unable to re-
port, but has no reason to disbeIieve the
same, which amount will show its benefi-
cial influence of the current expenses of
the ensuing year, but cannot be deducted
on the bills audited and allowed, as was
done in said annual report.
With these facts we conclude our report
and submit the same to your favorable
considerations

VINO KILLED OLD BRowN's SoN "A
correspondent Of the Charleston 6. c.

for by the editor, says that the son Of Os-
sawattomie Brown Frederick Brown kill,
ed in Kansas in 1856, was shot by free
State man-Rev. Martin White-whose
murder by the border ruGians was herald
ed throughout the country at the time
The correspondent spoken Of, says he was
an eye witness in the killing Of f. Brown.
lie says that Old Brown was the leader of
gang Of horse thieves iu Kansas. From
his own admissions and the testimony Of
truthful persons, it is known that he made
several iucursions into Missouri, running
oil negroes and appropriating what prop
erty he could carry off. Another OF
Browns sons, reported killed, has turned
up safe and sound in Ashtabula Co., Ohio,

made crazy by his wrongs 1T the hands of

BALTIMORE.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1859,

We publish in another column, the letter OF
the Central Reform Committee to the MAYOR and
the characteristic reply of that consistent function
airy. We insert also-in many columns-the adj
dress of Mr.. SWAMI to the people of Baltimore.
We go through this latter tribulaton, not because
there is anything in the discourse which Mr. SWAMI
has not said at least twenty times before with the
same disregard of what every body else in the
community knows to be the truth, and with the
same surprising contempt for the public intelli-
gence and patience Wegive him the benefit of his
defence, such as it is, because we have commented
ON him freely heretofore, and intend to do SO vet
again; and we think it is but fair 10 LET him he
heard in his own behalf let what he says be what
it may. We confess we have still another reason,
which Is that we do not think anything but the un-
readable length and heaviness of the document can
prevent it from being more damaging TO its author
than anything that has ever been said of him by
friend or foe. When the MAYOR of the city of
Baltimore has nothing better to reply to five
thousand of his fellow-citizens- addressing
him respectfully on such an occasion, concerning
their rights as his constituents, and his duties as
public servant-than paltry diatribe against the
press and bald denial ofwhat is as visible as sun
shine to every man who has eyes to see-we con-
tess that we cannot imagine any worse visitation
upon him than that of leaving him to himself
Hereafter, in due course, we shall take notice of
the address so far rs we may deem it worth while.
For the present we can say nothing worse of it
than that it is precisely what was to be expected
from its author.

Ever since the principally and power" once
known to our citizens by the unpretendng title
of ''The Mayoralty," has expanded into the SUBJ

discretion and good will of its municipal CHIEF
Magistrate for the protection of its most precious
rights against lawlessness and violence The fire.
quent and authoritative repetition of this absurd
ity has by degrees impressed it, as TRUTH upon a
great portion of the public and there are many OF
our most respectable and order-loving people who
are prepared to believe that there is no hope for
us, within the pale of the law, unless his Honor
the MAYOR is pleased to vouchsafe to us his most
benign encouragement and defence Even the
intelligent gentlemen most prominently connected
with the Reform Movement seem to have shared
to some extent, in the error so industrously pro-
pagated, and to have regarded the official power
which they have felt it their right to invoke for
the restoration of political freedom and order, as
concentrated exclusively in the hands of Mr..
SWAMI. 1t is high time that this delusion should
be exploded. Its prevalence is but another histo-
rical illustration of the fact that almost any usur-
patton may be developed, in time, into preroga-
tive, by gradual and persistent self-assertion, on
the one part, and indifference or unthinking ac-
auiescence on the other. If the assumption, in

THE STORM IN hartford COUNTELOo

~.
The storm of Friday and Saturday was severely
felt in this section. Orchards in some instances
were partially destroyed, and corn-felds were in
jured to a considerable extent; and in more ex-
posed places were totally destroyed. So violent
was the storm during the evening of Saturday that
huge trees were blown up by the roots and thrown
across the roads, rendering them almost impassa-
BILE. A rumor prevalent that drove of cat
tie, while fording a stream, were carried down, but
it is contradicted n
The only instance of loss of life that came to our
knowledge, was that of a man named John DOYLE,
the contractor of the mail route between Forest
Hill and Magnolia station. He made desperate
attempt to cross stream, on Saturday evening,
but was carried down by the violence Of the cur
rent. Two horses also persisted with him. His
disappearance on Sunday morning aroused suspi-
cion of his safety, and on search being made. the
stage in which he was crossing was found partly
visible above the water. His body has not yet
