disposal to make the road passable.
The minister who had betrayed the Sc
cret path, not by evil intent but by want Of
caution and courage, was detained on the
Landgrafenberg till the following day. He
declined q large sum offered him as re-
ward. The only practicable road through
the Rauthal was thus by untold pains and
sacrifices made passable. At 8 O'Clock Of
the same evening it was ready, and with
great cxertions horses and cannon were
brought to the summit Of the mountain;
which commanded view Of the whole
Prussian line. Napoleon himself took the
lead, and lent hand here and there To-
stimulate the courage and perseverance Of
hissoldiers. Partly carried, partly dragged,
most Of the heavy cannon were transported
to the hight, and at daybreak they were
ready mounted. Not till after all this had
been accomplished Napoleon wrapped him
self in cloak and lay down on the summit
Of the mountain for q short rest.
The day broke misty and chilly, and be-
fore the mists were scattered the whole
French army stood in line of battle, while,
the Prussians supposed it to be day Of
rest, in which supposition they had been
strengthened by letter Of the French EN-
peror to the King Of Prussia, in which he
proposed truce. The Prussian army had
thus yielded themselves to complete repose.
Only after the sunbeams had dispersed the
mists, and their pickets, attacked and driven
in by the enemy, gave the alarm, did they
become aware that Napoleon offered them
battle. The battle Of Jena at this moment
was already decided. How must the heart
of the man who betrayed the way through
the Rauthal" have palpitated when he
heard the first tidings Of the loss Of the
battlel
Now-he, also, is dead.
Did the Traitor die as calmly as the Pa
triot? Who can tell But we may safely
say: His death was not SO beautiful.

Of devoted merchants, like deaths own
marksmen, made ip the midst Of them.
What the besiegsrs, however, failed to CT:
feet by force, they effected by fire; and
the Red Hall became cnveloped in flames
its wool, its silks, and rich merchandise
blazing together, and causing the fierce
element to ascend like o pyramid. Still
the brave men stood in the midst Of the
conAagration, unquailed, hurling death
upon their enemies; and, as the fire ragged
from room to room, they rushed 70 the roof
of their Hall, discharging their last arrow
on their besiegers, and waving their swords
around their heads with shout Of triumph.
There, also, stood the father, his daughter,
and her lover, smiling and embracing each
other in death. Crash succeeded crash
the flames assembled higher and higher
and the proud building was falling to
pieces. A louder crash followed, the fierce
element surrounded the brave victims
the gentle Isabella leaning on her BRIDE
groom, was seen waving her slender hand
in triumph round her head-the hardy
band waved their swords and shouted
"Liberty" and, in one moment more, the
building fell to the earth, and the heroes,
the bridegroom, and his bride, were buried
in the ruins Of their fortress, and their
factory.
Thus fell the Red Hall, and with it the
commercial glory Of Berwick. Sir William
Douglas surrendered the castle to Edward,
and the town was given up to plunder and
brutality. It's trade in wool and in foreign
merchandise was transferred to its rival,
LOndOn-and, need We say, that it has not
recovered it?

The caution and the state;

An Arkausas WeddinR.

This is great country for jokes, and We
have just had one that is too good to keep.
Early this morning there were added to our
company Of travellers pair who looked
very much like runaways: the gentleman
a tall, rawboned specimen Of the shalt
horse, half alligator" class, and the lady
fair match for him. Among the pas
sengers from Napoleon was solemn look!
ing gentleman, who had all along been
taken for q preacher. About nine o'clock
last night was converting with the rev
erend individual, when young man
stepped up, and addressing him, remarked;
ave are going to have wedding, and
would like to have you oficiate." "All
right, sir" he replied laughingly, and went
into the ladies' cabin, where sure enough
the couple stood waiting. There had been
several "kissing games,p and several mock
marriages gone through with during tho
evening, and I supposed this was merely
o continuation Of the sport; and so thought
the preacher, who, could see, had good
deal Of humor in him, and was inclined
to promote general good feeling and mer-
rilnent. The couple stood up before him
good deal more solemn than was neces-
sary in mock marriage, / thought The
preacher asked the necessary questions, and
then proceeding in the usual way, announc-
ed them "husband and wife," There. was
a good deal Of fun afterward, and when IL
was over left the cabin, and so did the
" preacher" who remarked to me that he
liked TO sec the young folks enjoying them
selves, and took great deal Of pleasure in
contributing to their fun. just then some
one called me aside, and the old gentleman
stepped to his stateroom, which was next
to mine.
When returned, the door stood open,
and the preacher :" stood just inside with
his coat and vest of and one boot In his
hand, talking with the gentleman who had
played the "attendant," who as he came up
remarked: "Well If that's the case, it's q
good joke, for they arc in dead earest, and
have gone to the same stateroom. The old
gentleman raised both hands as hc exclainl-,
ed: "Good heavensl you don't tell us soi.'
and rushing just as he was, boot in hand;
to the stateroom indicated, commenced an
ass ult on the door, as il he would break
1t down, exclaimmg at each kick:
"For heavens sake don't! I amt no
preacher" -
The whole cabin was aroused, every state.

AEoTHBR GREAT Snow STORM IN THE
WEsT.-The heaviest snow storm of the
season visited Cleveland and other points
in Ohio week ago. In Cleveland the
streets were barricaded by large drifts,
compelling a suspension of all outdoor
work and pedestrianism. The trains on
all the railroads were showed under, and
the street cars did not even attempt to
run. A Cleveland paper says of the ap-
pearance of the city on Tuesday -
Cleveland yesterday wore the appear
ance of Russian or Siberian city, and
might easily have been taken, as far as
weather portents go, for Montreal or
Moscow. Drifts formed in the roads
and on the sidewalks. Very few braved
the wind and storm and appeared upon
our streets. Some places of business
were not opened at all, and those which
were did little or no business. Even the
police were idle or busy only in saving
women and children from the wind and
drifted snow. 1t is owing to their vigi-
lance that we have no loss of life in our
own city to chronicle, as in several cases
they rescued women and children who
were overcome by the storm and unable
to proceed further.

A man came into printing office to
beg a paper. Because" said he, we
like to read newspapers very much, but
our neighbors are all to stingy to take
one"
One of the l17th New York volun-
teers having struggled away from the
line of march, during Gen. Smiths late
expedition in West Tennessee, was hung
up by the heels and had his throat cut.
The military authorities in Texas
are exercising the most grinding oppres-
sion to stifle the Union sentiment. Un-
heard of atrocities are perpetrated. Men
are shot, hung starved, and whipped to
death are turned naked into the woods !;
are flogged, branded, and pursued by
bloodhounds, if they attempt to escape.
These horrors are executed by Quantrell's S
devils who have been placed on that
duty.
The first of the immense iron cylin-
ders for the lake tunnel at Chicago, is
Just completed at Pittsburg. These
cylinders, of which there will be thirty
two in all, will be nine feet and half
in diameter and ten feet in length, and
will weigh fourteen tons. When put to-
gether they will extend over distance
ofthree hundred and twenty feet, and
their entire weight will .be four hundred
and forty-eight tons.

LoSGsTREET AND THE AMNESTY Proc
LANATIoN The story that Longstreet
made propositions to surrender, doubt
less grew out of this: Very lately Long
street sent by flag of truce communi-
cation to Gen. Foster, complaining of
the insiduous circulation among his men,
by Union soldiers, of President Lincoln's
proclamation of amnesty, with Gen.
Grants order concerning rebel deserters.
Against this the rebel general protested,
and said that if Gen. Foster had any
communication to make it should be
made though the ordinary channel. In
answer to this Gen. Foster dispatched to
Longstreet a quantity of the documents
referred to, with the request that they
might be read every morning to his men,
and otherwise circulated among them
1t is probable that the receipt of this re-
sponse convinced Longstreet that he had
opened the door rather wider than he in
tended. 1t is scarcely probable that he
will redeem his implied promise to 'cir-
culate the documents. Nevertheless

Galena Democrat tells of man who, in
a buggy was slowly passing a farm
house in the neighborhood of Warren,
H., one of the cold days last week. The
good woman of the house, thinking he
must be very cold, called to him to come
in and warm himself. He made no re-
ply, but turning neither to the right or
left, kept slowly on his way. The lady,
fearing that the man would freeze; know
ing that there was no house for five
miles in the direction he was going-re-
quested her husband to follow him and
induce him to stop and warm himself
He did so, and coming up, found him
frozen stiff, dead, with whip in one hand
and lines in the other.
