Another Practical AmalgamaLiOn Case in
MaRSachUsetaE,

The Boston Traveller, of late date, remarks =
About two months ago, aged couple at the
Neck took into their service girl of Irish parent
age, belonging in Boston, who shortly afterwards
tegan to receive the visits of smartlooking coOred
man, whose way had been previously prepared by
the girls statement that though her mother was
Irish, her father of mixed blood &c. Still the
old folks at first little surprised at the sable
hue of the aspiring beau but tried imagine that
in the dark complexion of the girl little of the
race was apparent
al few days ago the couple were seen in the
street by of the girls friends, who reported
the fact TO her parents, and she was called home.
What occurred is not fully known. except that af
ter weeks confinement in a ROOM in which love
didn't laugh at the locks, the girl was given the lib
erty of the house, her bonnet and outdoor apparel
having been put away that she might not take ad
vantage of her liberty.
But she slipped out between two days and be-
fore her relatives were aware of her absence she
was joined in the bonds CT matrimony, andhad gone
to CharlestOwn after her clothes. The old couple
had been unable to account for her absence, which
she explained by announcing her marriage, and they
not knowing that she had acted without the consent
OF her friends, gave the young couple few presents,
and they departed Fifteen minutes had scarcely
elapsed when the father, accompanied by officer
appeared at the door, His rage on learning of his
daughters marriage, and that he had been repre-
scented by her part African, cannot be described.
The girl is but seventeen years of age, though
large for hec age and quite intelligent. Her father
is Irish. has some wealth, owning or two tene-
ment-houses in Boston. At last the father
clarng that he would shoot the first he got sight
of, but two days have elapsed and they have not
been found it is cOnjectured that they took the
dergrOund railroad for parts unknown

Discussion at SheIbyViIIe.


MEssRs. EDIToRs: To-day has been one of the most
glorious days that the Democracy of old Bedford
ever experienced. 1t being the commencement OF
Circuit Court, every person, old and young, Demo
Gratis and Opposition, were out Col Tilman was
called upon by his Opposition friends usual for
it seems he says, they consider him piece of
cold sOuse, always on hand But unfortunately for
him, If we had not known he was for Bell every one
would have sworn he for Douglas. When he
had concluded, Mr. Robert Matthews arose amid
thunders of applause and if ever Douglas and OPP
position wool flew, it flew then. We have attended
many public speakmgs, but never saw a crowd, both
Democrats and Opposition, press forward with more
eargerness TO hear man, IN all lives, rs they
did to hear Matthew'S; for they all knew he was
going to preach the truth And tell you i6 had its
effect too for no had he finished than several
Douglas and Opposition men came out openly for
Breckenridge and Lane. Mr. Matthew'S speech
one of the most powerful efforts 10 which we have
ever listened. The Democrats Over-runnIng
with JOY. The Opposition have hung out a Bell
without fcapper, and have attempted to remedy
it by putting Douglas in for a ciapper; but
tell you 1t won't ring-the people won't heed to
its discOrdant sound. If old Bedford is true in
dex Breckenridge and Lane will carry the State by
overwhelming majority. Rest assured all is right
here. A DEMOCRAT.

The McNeiIIv card

We have received card from a DOUGLAS Demo
crat," Of Maury county, adhering to his former
statement in the Maury Press, with regard to the
language used by Senator McNErILY in a speech in
Hickman county, and suggesting that the quiet hear
er of speech is less liable to be mistaken about
language used than the speaker himself. A DOUG
Democrat" also says he is willing to testify to
the correctness Of his report We did not design &c
question the yeraeity of this gentleman in our alu
sion to Senator McNEnIY's card, but only supposed
that there was some misunderstanding about the
exact language employed by Mr.. Men. in his Hick
man speech. We regret that he has SO far miscon-
strued our meaning, as we know him to be above a
deliberate misrepresentation. But as he says in hii
card. all men are Liable to be mistaken So We
thought in this case, as Mr. Non. positively denied
the reported language.

The Paradise of the North


The following interesting extract is taken from
the English translation of the Annals of the PrOpG-
CATION of the Faith published in Paris and in Lyons
and is derived from letter dated Oct 9Th, 1859 and
written by NJ MAIsFRANEX. Catholic Missionary at
AlteIgaard. the former residence of the Governor
General of Lapland
To these religious data NJ. Maisfranex adds. upon
the site climate, and vegetation of Atengaard, OBJ
servatiOns that are no less recommendabe for their
singuarity than their truthfulness. This burgh the
central point of the Arctic Missions, situat
the 10th degree north latitude. in vast plain Dor
dered on the north by the sea, watered on TIN eas
by the river Alien, AMI bounded on the sOut
pine forests. IL is the most picturesque local. o
these northern countries; 1t forms a true ash
amidst the ice and snow by which its hOrZ n /
limited. Hence. it has often been designated tn
Paradise Of the North, well on the account OF tn
beauty of its situation and the mIdness of its tenn
perature, as on account Of an ancient superstition,
according to which Altengaard is considered as the
entrance-hall to the Lapland Elysium.
Although situated farther to the northwarG than
the perpetual ice in which Franklin is supposed to
have been lost and in the degree of latitude as
the magnetic pole in Polar America. Aitengaard
generally enjoys warmer climate than that of the
chief cities of Russia and Prussia. Often during
winter, when night prevails without interruption
months together, " the cold is less intense says
NJ. Maisfranex than at Berlin or Brussels at least
so | am told by those who have compared the mete-
geological observations between those towns and
ours. At the present date, October 9th, it IS so
warm as to occasion perspiration under a simple
blouse The sky is clear, and when night comes on
it is llumned by the brilliant display of the
aurora borealis. Columns and jets of light, spark
ling globes, and thousand luminous figures glide
along the horizon changing in form every instant,
and giving an aspect as strange and varied this
scene is stupendOus."
The vigOr of vegetation is no less astonishing.
Potatoes and other tubercules planted at the end of
June, ready for digging up at the beginning of
obo,. tboFi ofro faf,ufiO of tTvp
months sunshine Their size is only TO be compared
with the yield which is from forty to fifty sacks
from one. Barley, introduced by the Missionaries.
and sown only as an experiment, has been known to
produce thirty blades from grain. = The local
government" adds NJ Masfranex. - has been so
much astonished at agricultural products, that
some of them have been sent to Christsna speci-
mems for the general agricultural show"
