Personal BREVlTIES.

We regret to learn o. the death of Sher-
idan Knowles, of England. Mr.. Knowles
is well known as the writer of several
popular plays, of which the 'Hunchback'
is one Of late years he had renounced
tho stage, regretting, il was said, his pre-
vious connection with it, and he had be-
come very respectable preacher in con :
nection with the Baptist denomination
AS an elocutionist he was unrivalled, and
wherever he preached the church was al
ways crowded. He was drowned while
on voyage from Hull TO Bronstadt. His
age was rs.
AT Council Bluffs, Iowa, the alarming
discovery has just been made that Frank
Bates, a young, dashing, popular, lady
fascinating, dry goods clerk, is a-girl
AT Tuftonboro, n. H., 18th ult., Dana
B. Fox, promising lad of Is years, hung
himself while laboring under a fit of de
spondency caused by dream which he
had last spring that he should die in the
fall.
Oliver L. Taylor, Esq. editor and
proprietor of the Io00 State Gazette, died a
lew days since.
ON Tuesday night of last week, B. j.
Orten, heretofore considered one of the
most respectable married citizens of Mum,
son, Henry Co., ILL.,, took the wife of Mr..
Morton, of the same place, and fled to parts
unknown. He had previously obtained
the cash for his farm and stock, and had
evidently been making preparations to
commit the foolish act. 1t is supposed he
had from $4,000 to 1000 with him. No
track of the guilty pair has yet been dis
covered.
The London Post, the organ of the
| English Government, in an editorial upon
the visit of the Prince of Wales to this
country, says:
"He may visit Canada and the States
again before he is King Of England. and be
as well received /; he may see India, and
other portions of his mothers vast domiu-
ions, and wherever he goes he will be
honored with the loyalty and love of bis
mothers subjects; but nothing, one would
think, will ever equal in depth, clearness
and freshness, the impressions of this first
transatlantic trip"
Mrs. Dr. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, Of
Orange county, N. Y, who insists that q
woman should not be taxed unless she is
allowed 10 vote, has thought to shame the
collector out Of his demand by offering to
work out her road tax. The doctress,
having somewhat passed the bloom OF
youth, made no impression upon the Of
ficial, and therefore, instead Of paying un-
der protest, as some of her sisters do, she
went upon the road and drove a cart.
Mr.. Alex. Randall, an old citizen OF
Louisville, Ky, and hitherto bearing a
good character, was arrested in Nashville
for bigamy. He recently married Miss
Cheatham, of New Albany, and it appears
that he has wife and family in that city
dependent upon him for support.

slightest change Of fortune.
The third party is the Military Court OF
the Emperor. As was said of the French
Bourbon race by Talleyrand, sit had

now, when the genius Of that Monarchy is

Dr. Foster 1t is gratifying to the few
old time Republicans in this region who
have weathercd the storm in tribulation
and yeXation, TO say that an unmistakable
revolution is going on throughout the Teu-
tonic element Of the county, that bids fair
10 be permanent.
And when once the firm principles of
our party are fully diffused, we think no
county in the State will be more reliable
for the Republican majorities.
A year or Two ago we scarcely hoped
for the better age to dawn in our midst SO
soon, that Republican speakers would
tract so large share of public attention
Our meeting here on Monday evening
was quite large, and most enthusiastic.

Lieut. Gov. Donnelly then treated us to

1t was a great speech--rCplete with

The Cattle Disease, /,

Great apprehensions were felt in Massa,
chusetts, when the cattle disease suddenly
disappeared in the early part Of the sum-
mer, that it would break out again, and
perhaps more violently, at the period Of
the autumn rains and frosts. But this
fear has been ageeably disappoint-
ed. We are now near November, and
no signs of the justly dreaded epidemic art
visible. The empirical but efficient
measures of the commissioners probably
checked and limited its course. Yet there
Is no certainty against its recurrence, and
every means should be taken, not only to
guard against it, but TO determine its dag.

How THE Nsws WAS RECEIVED YEsTER-
DAY.-About 4 o'clock the interest and chi
riosity had reached its intensest pitch. A
large crowd Of Republicans assembled in
and around the MINNHsoTIAN OFFICE, con-
versing over our local victory, and guess
ing at the result in other States. Just at
this time q telegram was brought in, and
handed to Mr.. BAKER, Secretary of State.
Hastily tearing it open, its glorious contents
was mirrored in the irrepressible' smile
of victory that wreathed his countenance.
Rising on chair, amidst an eager silence,
he read as follows:
CHICAGO, Nov. "A, r.x

States for Lincoln, except New Jersey.

The shout that went up was deafening
Another, and another made the roof trem-

adoors and have it out" So out every
body tumbfed, and made the welkin ring
with nine shouts that were heard all over
town almost This drew still greater
crowd, of course, which momentarily in
creased. AS every squad of new corners
heard the glorious news from the trembling
lips of the others, new and still louder
shout would arise and new enthusiasm
bubble out
The scene was indescribable. Every
ody felt good allover," and shook hands
with everybody else, ,--and laughed and
shouted until he was hoarse. This scene
was kept mp for more than an hour, and
