TIE STAGE Struck TOLEDO GIRL.-We have
already mentioned the case Of a young girl who
left her home in Toledo to follow, as it said,
the stage, but had disappeared near Detroit
The Detroit Advertiser Of Saturday states that
the young girl has been found, and gives the fol-
lowing as her story: 4.es ..s Il;
J. Is. Howard, q painter of Toledo, mar
ried man. quite intimate with her family, insra-
tiated himself into her affections, represented
that he disliked his wife and would get divorce,
and then would marry her-M,ra Young. The
confidence the young girl of eighteen years re-
posed in hiAl was t.keE advantage of az early as
July last, and the criminal intercourse continued
till certain appearances indicated that to rrmsin
at home would result in ths revealing Of the dis
graceful intimacy; accordingly she stole away
from home ON the 10th inst, arrived here, re-
manned at the Russell House over night, and the
next day, the llth, went to Pontiac, where she
has since remained. She bore the name there of
Mrs. Howard. Hawa,-d visited her on the 18th
and remained two or hree DAYS. His heal Il So
ness will appear the n iose detestable when it is
known that he was in the confidence of the fam
ils, was in the constant habit of visiting them,
AMI actually assisted trpparentlyl in endeayoring
to find traces of the missing girl. M

MAN DRowNEb.-A German, the cook Of the
steamer Kate Cass. Il, fell into the water, while
the boat was at the landing last night, and was
drowned, rot being seen after falling into the
water. he had not been found when We left.

Chicago correspondence.
The Charleston Convention is the chief topic
of conversation here, as suppose it is all over
the country. The Dc mocrats are all for Little
Dug, and are confident of his nomination, but
are not SO sure about it, now as they were day
or two ago. Ny old and jolly friend, "Steye
Beck'-an ardent Dos lglasite, and the best depu
ty clerk to be found bet high ON the Little I'll
ant the frst part of the week, but his enthusiasm
is oozing out and he now goes in on the othe,
course. How many more such there are, this
depope t saith not.
1t is a little strange that in this Congressional
District, which is Republican by ten Thousand
majority, there are but two candidates for the
nomination-Nlr Farnsworth himself, and 1. N

Whilst am alking about candidates, may
as well say that. Norman B. Judd has good sight
for the gubern Atorlal nomination Of the Decatur
Convention. He is looked upon here, aud mos,

PtMP Nc LoCALs.-It is decidedly amusing to
witness the repeated efforts ON the mart of the
''anxious ones,' when any important news is
known to have arrived by telegraph. TRYING to
