Singular Case Of Double Mar
Flage.

The Steubenville Courier relates
the following singular case ofhow NO
man came to have two husbands:
We have heard of a great many
wild romances, singular stories and
queer circumstances growing out of
the present war. But fact is some
times stranger than fiction, as the
case we are about to relate will show.
When the war first borke out, a young
married man of this city volunteered
in the service of his country, left his
young wife and child, and went forth
to fight his country's battles. His
regiment was hotly engaged at the
battleof Perryvine and he was reported
among the killed. Indeed, there
seemed to beno doubts as to the fact
of his death, several of his comrades
declaring that they had seen him fall,
and knew where he was buried. The
sad news of his death was Brought
to his wife, and after the first waves
of bitter sorrow that swept over her
soul had subsided, she determined
to have his remains brought home.
She was assisted in the undertaking
by kind friends, and two months
or more after, metallic coffin, con
tanning what purported to be the re-
mains of the supposed deceased, was
brought to this city, and with the
accustomed burial rites, was inferred
in the cemetery There were no
doubts entertained as to his death
in the manner stated, and the young
wife, after mourning his demise for
over a year, received and accepted
a second offer of marriage. Her
present husband is a worthy men,
and during the four or FIVE months
since their marriage they have been
living in undisturbed happiness. But
at last shadow has eclipsed their
sunshine. A few days since, as we
are informed, an exchanged prisoner,
Just from the South, passed through
here, and left a message from the
supposed deceased husband for his
wife, stating that he was prisoner
! in the hands of the rebels, alive and
well, and as he was in daily expectation
of being exchanged, she might expect
him home in a very short time. The
situation ofthe lady and husband can
better be imagined than described, un-
der the circumstances. Though this
is rather a remarkable case, it is one
which, during the present state of
the country, might be of more fre-
quent occurrence.

How the People in Richmond Live.

It is puzzle to a great many per-
sons in the North how the people in
Richmond live. With a population
of forty-fve thousand it is a well-as-
ccrtained fact that the contents of
the stores and markets, at any one
time during the past year and a half
would not have been enough to subsist
the peopleof that city for single
week. The wholesale establishments,
which before the war erammed from
cellar to cock-loFt, with -four, pork,
beef, fish, sugar, &C., are now without
stock sufficient to fill a single floor.
The stalls Of the spacious markets
are many Of them unOceupied, while
those in use are less than quarter
filed,
The retail stores do not take the
trouble to arrange their scanty stocks
on the shelves, as the supply is
greedily sought by the furnishing peo-
ple. Enormous prices are demanded
for all sorts Of provisions. Labor is
miserably compensated. The ques-
ton reours; how do these deluded
people live? The truth is, they are
not living-but dying victims of the
rebellion and starvation A melan-
choly instance is narrated Of a woman
and four children living for two
months on a pint of beans and a pound
and a half Of corn meal per day
Think of this, Northern men with
plenty, who grumble because they
have to pay a aar tax.
This extreme destitution IS confined
to the honest poor. The rich rebels
and roguos are in the enjoyment Of
plenty,-Money is said to beabundant.
Persons are found ready to pay $3.50
or IS for a glass of whisky, and 81
or SO for q passable dinner.
Really Richmond has become the
sodom Of America. Every species Of
vice and wiekedness is praeticed on
the grandest scale. RUm-Eoles, gam
bling dens and brothels arc said to be
more numerous there than in any 9TH
er city Of the same population in the
world.

Ohio Has Done Nobly.

We are more proud Of the Buckeye
State than ever before. The Nation
al Guard, which is made up Of her
business men, has responded with an
alaority that does infinite credit to
their patrio ism. Within one week
after the call for 10000 men was is
sued, 34,917 men were reported for
duty, ready to take the field. The
Cincinnati Gazette very justly says
This is something to be proud
of; and the fact that VIC can march 40,-

ming.

Provide books for the comfortable,
and for the library of the family.
Sec all the younger children attend
the best schools, and interest yourself
in their studies. If they have the
taste for thorough cultivation, but not
the means to pursue it, if possible
provide for a higher education. Dan
ieI Webster sought, at the intervals
Of his College course, to aid an elder
brother in the pursuit of a classical
education, and a volume Of his works
is dedicated to the daughters of that
brother, who early closed q brilliant
career. Feel that an ignorant brother
or sister will be a disgrace to your
family, and trust not the prevention
of such reproach to the casual inau-
ence ofthe press, existing institutions,
and the kind Offices Of strangers.
If the family becomes, as it may be,
an institution of learning, the whole
land will be educated.

whole number-are from States and Dis
tricts in which the rebels have not a sem

sec, SO. Nothing but the iron rule Of the.
head men, and the military power in the
Confederaey, has kept il from falling to pie
ces long ere this. 1t is by such shams that
the deiuded masses are cheated into follow
ing their Internal leaders.
