Sectional Hatred.

Sectional Hatred.
It is the frequent assertion by some OF
our Administration papers, that the Free
States are inhamed with violent hatred
of the people of the South. On this
point the N. Y. Evening Post we'll re-
marks:
'The evidences Of hatred are all on
the other side. Here in the free States
the Southern citizen travels unmolested,
comes and goes at pleasure and without
danger, expresses his opinions with free
dom, declaims in favor of slavery, and is
quietly allowed to convert as many as he
can to the doctrine that it is a benign
and benefcent institution. He is not
mobbed for this; nobody suggests coat
of tar and feathers, or suggests an air
ing on rail, as remedy for his case;
no vigilance committee waits upon him
to bid him leave the State within twenty
four hours. Everywhere he meets toll
Grafton, good nature and hospitality
Let man go from the free States to the
South, and he is treated as Powers and
DR.. Case were treated; he meets the cat
o'nine- tails; he encounters men ready
for him with buckets of tar and bags OF
feathers; or he is suddenly elected from
the State with the hint that if he remains
beyond "a hours he remains at the peril
of his life"

ing, but alas, the clouds soon gathered
thickly around US, and now what have
we to look forward to! The little tina
we have remaining will be insufficient tt
furnish food for ourselves and our pool
babes, aud many long weeks must elapse
before I can resume my old employ
ment."
"But what a blessing to think that
health is surely, though slowly return.
ing, William. All, we cannot be toe
thankful. What are poverty and suffer.
ing while you are spared to us?"
The husbands reply was prevented by
the merry jingle of the bells, as the first
sleigh drove up to the door, and a mo-
ment after came the kindly greeting ot
Farmer Jones.
"Good evening, neighbor Glad to
see you looking little better. A party
of us have called to wish you happy
new year. Rather before the time, to be
sure, but YOU must excuse US, as it is
kindly meant.
By the time the farmer had finished
his speech, long line of sleighs had
drawn up in the little yard, guest after
guest appeared with cheerful and sym
pathizing words, which fell like music
on the ears of the sick man and his hope
full wife.
The most sensitive pride could hardly
have taken offense at the quiet, kindly
manner in which shed and cellar were
now filled by the busy party, while an
other deposited in the neat little kitchen
it's appropriate share Of winter stores, to-
gether with many useful package OF
dry goods suitable both for parents and
children.
Few words were spoken, but the light
which shone on the countenance of Will
liam Jones, and the tears in the eyes OF
his wife, showed that deep feelings were
at work within, and as the happy party
drove from the door, every heart re
sponded to the farmers exclamation
ssThat's the right kind Of a party, my
good friends. The year has been an
abundant one to us, and now that it is
about to- close, it is well to obey the
command-Freey ye haze recesced, freely
girer
Once more the farmers sleigh took
the lead. AS his own dwelling came in
sight, he stopped and looked at the
merry train, and gave cordial invita-
ton to dance out the old year in his ca
pacious Kitchen And now the secret
cause. .of Mrs. Browns absence was ex-
planned; for, dressed in her best, the
good lady appeared at the door to vel
come her guests, while as they entered
the squeak of the old fiddle belonging
to old Simon, as he sent forth its pre-
liminary notes, might be heard. An ex-
cellent supper in due season appeared
and merrily was the old year danced out

EXCITING AFFAIR lin CHURCH.
SUMNER, Ill, Feb. 6, 1860

| SUMNER, ILL, Feb. b, lS0U.
A very singular affair occurred in
this place yesterday, the particulars of
which hasten to give you. For some
weeks past great religious revival has
been in progress in our midst, services
having been held every day and evening
for about two weeks, and, as might
readily be supposed, an excitement was
created, and many ahardened" sinners
Joined the Church (New-Gghts.)
On yesterday morning during divine
service, which began at 103 o'clock,
when the house was crowded, and the
preacher in the middle of his discourse,
a young man named VIM. Barlow, seated
in the congregation, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by cutting his throat with a
pocket-knife. He first cut the princi-
pal artery in each arm, and then in
flicted horrible cash in the throat,
aiming no doubt to cut the jugular vein,
but not knowing its precise location
missed it. When first discovered he
was seen holding his head in his left
hand, while the blood was trickling
down the side of his neck and arms.
When asked about it, he insisted that
nothing was the matter, and requested
to be let alone. He was carried out and
soon tainted. On being restored to
consciousness, he called for his knife,
saying, 81 will soon finish it"
The unfortunate man assigned no rea-
son for his rash act. But the general
impression isssthat he was laboring under
a fit of insanity, or more probably, re-
tligious excitement. Your correspond
ent had long conversation with him the
evening before, and was with him until
late hour, during which time he showed
no signs of mental arrangement. He
had been in Sumner but about a year,
and was doing a good business at his
calling, clustering.
Mr.. Barlow is about twenty-five years
of age, a strictly temperate man, and
much respected by those who know him.
At present, his physicians think there is
a possibility of his recovering, but if he
should, it will be regarded as almost a
miracle.
As may be expected, this scene threw
the congregation into confusion, and the
remainder of the morning service was
omitted.

A CHAPTER ON BACHELORS.

hate bachelors! There's bold, un-
qualified assertion right in the teeth of
every bachelor living. Did ever any
body see such cross, selfish, surly set
as they are? Why, 1 never put my foot
into passenger car, that cam tell, at
the very first glance around me, who are
bachelors and who are not. You can
read it in their faces; and their actions
show it plainly enough. A married man
resigns his seat smillingly, if the car is
crowded; but, ye gods! if bachelor has
to get up to give lady his seat, such a
look as she gets, and such time as he
has grumbling about 'hoops taking so
much room, as if it was any of his bust
ness how much room they take, and as
if passenger railway cars were not in,
tended to accommodate hoops as well as
the dear creatures who occupy" them
Married men are always more polite, be-
cause-because they have wives to teach
them-ahem!
Can't tell when man is going home
to a pretty, cherry Tipped wife, and when
he isn't? To be sure | can.
never go to the theater, that, look
ing down into the parquette, don't see
whole rows ofgloomy visaged bachelors,
who come there to pass away the time
because they haven't wives and babies
to keep them at home, and they don't
know what to do with themselves. Poor
fellows! how / pity them!
If they were all like Ike Marvel-bless
his dear old bachelor heart!-we might
tolerate them; but save me from them as
they are! habitually make for the
other side of the walk whenever I see
one of the tribe coming. for I had rather
encounter score of married men than
one gloomy, sour visaged old bachelor
Out upon old bachelors! Courtshir
and marriage to every mothers son Of
them. ANNIE TREVOR.

A Man Arrested for Marrying Eleven
500. Wives.

A Freeport Qll.,) correspondent Of
the Chicago Journal, states that a man
named Travis, alias Ferguson, alias Hoyt,
alias Waddam, is now in the Boone
County Jail, charged with various delin-
quencies, the principal of which is po-
lygamy, for which there are at least, ten
counts against him. Passing himself of
as rich Californian, he married young
lady in Southwestern Wisconsin, and a
second in 10 Dayiess county, Illinois
In another town in the same county, he
won and wooed a widow, but was de,
teeted in numerous swindling games, and
arrested. Since he has been taken into
custody, it has been ascertained that he
was formerly an inmate of the Illinois
State Prison, where he had been confined
for larceny, and that including those
above mentioned, he has within the last
few months married and then robbed o1
their money and jewels, no less than
eleven credulous young ladies and foolish
widows.
