The Peace Of Connubial Pair Destroyed
by Wealth Striking Incident of the
Disadvantage of an Inheritance.

A happy couple in Paris recently inherited
fortune from an old uncle, and Immediately
began to make figure in society. A CORE
spondent writes:
"They bonght handsome mansion in one
of the most aristocratic quarters Of Paris, and
valuable estate in the country. Adverse as
the last season has been, they were among the
very few who spent it at a fashionable German
Spa, and it has only been since the first of
September that they have taken up their abode
at their own chateau.
A few, their most intimate friends, were in
vited to spend the autumn with them, the re-
cent death of their uncle forbddng them, in
the name Of decency, from entertaining large
company. But short as is this period of time,
it has proved sufficient under the operation of
wealth to produce complete change in both
of them. 1t has banished gaiety from them.
1t has paralyzed their conversation.
She has become full with a marked tendency
to obesity She talks Of nothing but millinery,
mantua making and public securities she who
used to be model of delicate taste and sim
plcity dresses in the most extravagant manner,
and overloads herself with Jewels and diamonds,
and she changes her attire three times day.
He used to be a rosy, healthy looking fellow,
full of flesh and vigor-he is lean, pale, melan-
choly. He has become afraid of dying since
he has grown rich, and he spends most of his
time over medical books or in a conference with
some doctor or other for he has three Or four
physicians in fee. The other day child OF
his gardeners fell sick of the small pox he
had himself vaccinated Immediately, and wish
ed to force all his friends to follow his example
Although he has been master Of the estate
only few months, he is already for selling it /;
a poetical brook winds through the park, about
hundred yards from the house, and he has
taken it into his head it is unhealthy that it
breeds the rheumatism and chils. This whim
has disguised him with his country house, and
nothing must do now but it must be Sold
These people who were so happy in their me-
diocrity Of wealth, have become absolutely
miserable. Every fall of funds every additional
piece of political news drives all sleep from the
wifes eyes she looks anxiously forward to the
ruin of her estate as something imminent
Every change of wind, every variation of the
thermometer, throws the husband into fit of
irrecoverable dependency. Wealth has de-
stroyed their happiness.
THE SHERIFF OF SUFFER- County TAKES A
DANGEROUS RIDE-It appear from all ac-
counts of the emeufe at San Quentin, that the
prisoners who tried to escape made break
from the yard through the gate when it was
opened to give exit to water cart The
Bulletin says:
Three or four armed guards stood by the

other lreemen among them, Sheriff kinnard,
of Sutter county, who had just come in, and,
according to the rule, had surrendered bis re-
volver on entrance. The conspirators. the in-
stant the cart was outside, charged like Zou-
aves together, the stoutest among them picking
each his freeman, whom they managed to keep
between themselves and the prison enclosure
Sheriff kinnard was the reluctant cover of one
stalwart fellow, and he filled his novel office to
his captOrs great satisfaction until the rider
managed to throw his cloak over his 'Old
Man of the Sea-" when the Sheriff was drop
ped like hot potato But seeing another of
the guard disengaged from the service of the
fugitives snaiched him up and wore him on
his shoulders as Digger wears her pappoose.

ed him dead on the ground, his human cover
escaping without scratch"
A PRoPosrrIoN.-W propose that the day
that Fort Moutre is surrendered, Kentucky
shall, throughout the State, hold meetings.
Maj. Anderson is native Kentuckian, born
on the banks Of Beargrass, in this county, and
if Buchanan thinks that he (Anderson) should
die to save that miserable fragment of dsgra-
ced corruption-his (Buchanans) life-we of
Kentucky ought to have one chance to hang
