cleveland sensation.

The newspapers of Cleveland have at last
got a sensation" for their city, in the shape
of an Octoroon from Mississippi, We copy
from the PdiRdedler
A Mississippi planter has purchased the ell
egant brick house at l45 Prospect street for
his daughter, an 0ctoroon sixteen years ol
age. He pays Mr.. Clark, the recent occupant
and proprietor, 81, 900 for the house. 1t is for
her use while she is being educated in this
city. She will shortly arrive, accompanied by
her governess aud one or two free servants.
A daughter Of the Rev. j. c. White has been
employed as a general instructor Of the young
lady. Though born a slave, the Octoroon Is
now free, and planter will spare no pains or
pense TO give her a thorough education. Her
income while she resides here is to be 81, 900
a year. s..r
The preparations for her advent have Gre
ated considerable excitement in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of the house she is TO occn-
Ply. Tie planter selected Cleveland as the
place to educate his daughter on account Of
its beauty and health, and the ease with which
superior teachers in all the elegant oecom-
plishments may be obtained

A ship named the Il. NJ Nils, which wa.

undertook the task. Notwithstanding the
short complement of three handsto navigate
a leaky and abandoned 900 tuns ship from the
Bay of Biscay up the Channel, they were san

was severe, especially ON Saturday, the wind
was fair, and after some six days toll, night
and day, they had the good fortune to bring
their prize off Dungeness on Monday. The
assistance of a stean-tug and pilot was then
obtained, aud the ship proceeded through the
Downs for the river, and, as before stated, was

sale Of "a Yoke OF Abe LImcoIm's
ngAm.

.N.-.#
Two veteran oxen from Illinois, cold and
wellstricken in years, as the wrinkles IN their
horns abundantly testified, were sold this
morning atAllerton' market, Forty-fourth St
They were brought to this city by Mr. S. II.
Jones OF Illinois, and had been fed by Mr..
Hawks, of Macon county, in this State.
These animals have achieved a career more
%eventful than is usual 20 those 'born 10 their
condition fife" They have been the prop
erty of many owners, and performed labors,
If not as arduous and memorable, certainly
more continual and diversified than those OF
Hercules. Many years since they we're the
property Of Abraham Lincoln, under whose
driving they broke the globe of the prairie,
aud hauled rails to fence broad acres in the
county OF SangamOn. Another owner EN-
ployed them nj similar work in Mclean.
When the tide Of settlement turned to Kansas,
they were taken thither, to perform agricultur-
al labor and aid to consecrate the virgin own
er, and they were next employed to haul
draught wagons with emigrants and proyis-
ions TO the auriferous mountain. But age
came upon them they were solp and return
ed to the Prairie State, where they were fed for
the market, to which they have been brought
by Mr. Jones. The ayes of these animals is
thirty-three years. Their history was the
theme of every tongue while they we're in
market, and ABE Lincoln's cattle brought
full prices. Their owner parted from them
with much reluctance.
Some ofthe LINCOLN men hereabouts should
send for sone of that ox-meat. We imagine
it would be very tenderl
