A WEALTHY BRIDsEroRT WIDOW: MARRIEs
A NEGRo.-The Haven New Neos gives the
following particulars OF an amalgamationcase
which occurred in Bridgeport, Connecticut:
A handsome, buxom widow of late in
fiuential and prominent merchant OF that
city, who has figured conspicu0usly among
the supper tendon" since the death of her
husband, and might reasonably aspire to the
most honorable alliance in the way of sec
ond marriage, has been so far deluded and
carried away by the current tanaticism of a
certain class of men in New England, who
are annually invited to lecture among us on
the "beauties of amalgamation," that she
has actually taken to her embraces, as her
''ebony lord" a negro laboreer of that city
as black as the ace of spades. Her friends
and connections, who are most numerous and
respectable, ARE of course in the greatest few
er of excitement and trepidation at the I'M
fortunate occurrence, and are giving out
that she is "insane"-that her mind has
been unbalanced by 'spiritualism; but her
business transactions show that she has
"method" in her madness, and that her lavish
expenditures upon the negro were made
with view to the c0nsummation of pur-
pose long prominent and upperm ost in her
own mind.

WRECK OF THE SHIP LUNA-Loss Of Life.
The loss of the American ship Luna,
bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, of.
Cherbourg, France, has been mentioned in
the foreign news. Over 100 lives were lost
The London Observer says:
The loss took place about midday. For
hours previously the Inflated ship was seen
off the coast, battling with the gale of wind
from N. w. till.at length she appeared to be.
come unmanageable, and was driven on TO
the rocks about 200 fathoms from the shore,
where she speedily became a total wreck.
Her perileus position was observed by the
people on shore long before she struck, but
owing to the terrible sea rolling in it was
utterly mpossible--indeed beyond human
power-to launch boat through the surf to
go to the assistance of the ship and her liv-
ing freight, the whole of whom, number ing
one hundred and seven persons, persisted.
Two only reached the shore alive; one of
them died almost immediately afterwards.
The survivor, an Italian, named Clement,
was unable to give any satisfactory details
of the loss of the ship for two or three days
afterwards, owing to his greatly exhausted
condition. He stated that the ship sailed
from Havre the previous day (Friday,) and
that there were on board seventy-six pas
sengers, of whom forty seven were men,
twenty-seven women, and one child. The
crew mustered twenty-sx hands; besides
French cook for the passengers. Her cargo
was ola general description. The captain
saw his imminent danger when of Bar
heur, and attempted to beach the ship on
sandbank situate between Barteur Church
and the lighthouse, where there might be a
chance of saving the passengers; but in run
ming for it the violence of the gale and
heavy sea drove her on the rock, where her
destruction followed. The coast is ssrewn
with the wreck. Many bodies have been
washed up.
YELLOW JAssAMINE FLOWERS is the
season, says the Augusta (Ga.,) Constitu-
tionaist, when the beautiful and highly aro-
matte, but dangerous, yellow jessamine
flower is In bloom. Parents, and mothers
particularly, should inform their children
that these flowers are poisonous.
MunDER.-A Alfred Jones, wealthy farmer
near Montgomery, Ala, was found murder
ed on the 18th, and the body robbed of ST.
AGO. Two of his negroes had Abeen captured
and were to be burnt on the 18th for the
deed. The deceased was to have been mar
ried this week
A man in Buffalo, sadly harrassed by
duns, was at length stricken down by small
poA. lie reJolces In MS aMlction, noWeVeI'
for, sinces the announcement was made
by card on his door bearing the dreadful
words, "Small-Pox," not dun, he says, has
ventured to obtrude his bilious countenance

He thinks the hint might be turned to &C
count by those who suffer from the visits of
itinerant pedlars and gossipping neighbors.
At Traverse Bay, Michigan, the ice was
so thick on the LIST instant, that horses and
sleighs were crossing.

l nave 1t The treasure ls mine and NOR
tai man shall not wrest it from me :! | re-
solved to possess it when l first beheld it
hanging so temptingly beside the image of
her that was wont to wear it. At the risk
of criminal accusation have taken it. 1t
is safe now, wrapped up most carefully and
hidden away in the deepest recess of my
most private drawer. No one can touch it
but myself, its humble worshipper, and the
adorer of her whose hand it has so oft en-
closed. Romeo's exclamation,
"Would l were glove upon that hand
That l might touch that cheek"
doth but feebly express the rapture that l
would feel were but the glove to clasp that
delicate and symmetrical little pet. So soft
ly, so gently, so tenderly would l press its
transparent and snowy skin, that she could
but feel by electrical sympathy the doting
alteration OF soul consumed with love-
All how oft might she be led to notice the
exactnesS of the fiji ana the polish of my sur
face how oft to think with tondness that l
set off the shape and style of the little char
mer that Yields so potent pen how oft
might l be made to thrill with the touch of
that blooming hcheek and that dazzling
brow She might sometimes be proud of
me then, though in my present shape she
deigns not to notice me, however ardently l
press my suit. All unhappy lover! will no
indulgent fairy take pity on desolate heart
and convert it into kid glove to fit those
soft and tapering fingers that lend their tiny
power to give oppression to the sentiments
and glowing fancies of that surprising intel.
lect ? All Martha Martha thou didst in
deed fix the doom OF many longing souls
when thou didst resolve to don the "Bas
bleu" of literary life. What sacrifice would
1 not make to wean thy ardent soul from its
purpose But thou art welded to Fame
Immortality is thine, and thy humble wor-
shipper, though he would dare aught that
man dare, to win one glance from those soul
searching eyes yet must he yield to the su.
perior claim of Poetic enchantment. Love
has made thee all she could, but to yield
thee to the embrace of the "Laurel wreath"
But thy glove have, and will cherish and
pet it as would its lovely proprietress,
whose forgiveness l crave for having pur-
Joined it. 1t will serve to remind me oft of
her whom l worship, when far away from
hence in my Cuban Aome-a perpetual me-
mento of the angelic being, who, however,
many "leisure moments" she may have, may
never devote passing one to thought
about poor, despairing CAVALIER.

REMEDY ron GAReEr IN Cova-A writer

REMEDY FOR GAReET IN Coua--A writer
in MoOrSs Rural New Yrka says
Brought up from childhood on a farm,
keeping dairy for a living, and getting
somewhat along in years, perhaps my expe-
rience may be amusing, If not instructive
to my brother farmers. l have had many
instances of this malady, and whenever l
discover that the milk is bloody, do not save
it from the section Of the udder affected un-
til the milk again presents healthy appear
ance, which, generally, has been but q few
milkings at furthest, and in no case exceed
ing week or ten days. Accident, think,
is ever the cause, and nature o sufficient
physician to effect cure-at least it has
been on my premises; for no remedies have
ever been administered or applied.
RECIPE FOR HEAvEs IN HoRsEs.- The
Farmer and Gardener gives the following
as a cure for heaves in horses
Take smart-Weed, steep it in boiling water
till the strength is all out; give one quart
every day, mixed with bran or shorts, for
eight or ten days. Give green or eut-up
feed, wet with water, during the operation,
and it will cure.
CHECKING ScoURs IN OALvEs.-Nothing is
SO good to stop this complaint, says the
Massachusetts Ptou0handn, as loan from the
field. Calves should be weaned on hay; but
they should always have sods of earth be-
side them in the barn. This is new to us.
Carbonate of lime, it is well known, will
check the scours; and perhaps it is this ip-
gredient of the loan which renders it effica-
cious-and, if so, pulverized limestone would
be most effective.
PRESERVATION OF PoTAToEs IN THE CELLAR.
A writer in the NeD England Farmer says
'Put them in a pile as deep as you can con-
veniently." He has for three years noticed
that where they were the deepest they kept
the best. Last autumn he put l25 bushels
in one bin, and filled them two and q half or
three feet deep. They decayed but little,
and he found more rotten ones near the top
than any where else.
