Fate and Fortunes.

We clip the following interesting biographi-

the st. Louis Republican,:

The result was Fate wiled that Messrs. Bourne

and sent to Gratiot College, where they re-
manned short time and from thence were
dered to be banished South, by order Of Col.
F. A. Dick, then Provost Marshal General of
Missouri, without having trial or investigation
Of any kind and without even knowing why
they were thus summarily dealt with.
One pleasant afternoon in May, 1863, they,
with several others, were marched on board
steamer lying at our levee, preparatory to a
trip ''away down South in Dixie Thitller
the party, with one exception, were escorted,
and regularly turned adrft On the South side
Of the Yazoo river. The officer having this
company Of banished in charge, made due re-
turn that all had been safely landed at the
point of destination. The truth was, however,
that one Of them (Mr. Eourne) never went.
On the contrary havi ing gone aboard with the
others. selected Lis state-room, took supper,

liking the conclusions arrived at, quietly and
uninterruptedly walked past the attentive
guard and topped ashore.

Atheneum.

LEAH THE FoRsAK EN.-The great drama of
Leah, which was produced in London, some
hundreds ofnights, and enabled Miss Bateman
to win imperishable laurels, will be represen-
ted this evening. Miss Pennoyer who has had
few opportunities this season Of showing her
accomplishments as an artistic ola high order,
will appear as the heroine. That she will do
justice to the part, none who have witnessed
her correct and forcible delineations of charac
ter, can for moment doubt. The renegade
Jew through whose astrumentality the sad
fate of Leah is determined, will be in the hands
of Mr.. Fleming, who has on the several oc-
casions he has appeared shown himself a care
full and judicious actor. The drama is Of in
tense interest, and the curse of Leah hurled at
her recreant lover, who has been prevailed
upon to forsake her whom he had sworn to
protect and cherish, is one of the most fearful
and intense, in the whole range Of the drama
The afterpiece will be the pleasing farce Of
the Loan of a Lover, in which Miss Douglas
will represent the dull, unsuspecting yet frank
| and honest Peter Spyck. With such a bill as
is offered, fine house may be anticipated. In
consequence of the continued illness Of Mr.. Ma
son, and the sudden indisposition of Mr.. Flem-
| ing, tine Honeymoon was not performed last
| evening, but the comediettas of Perfection and
| the Rough Diamond substituted, in which the
| company acquitted themselves handsomely.
In the afterpiece, In and Out Of Place, Miss
Nellie Lewis was excellent, and showed plainly
by her versatility that she needs only opportu-
nifty, and the confidence which familiarity es-
tablishes to render herself a general favorite.
We shall indeed be surprised if a large audi
ence do not greet the company this evening,
and heighten the effect of the performances by
judicial commentator.

MYSTERIOUS NIurder-The Body of a Man
without a Head.

from the Peoria Transcript, 21stl
Day before yesterday headless trunk of
man was found floating about in the river one
mile this side of Kingston. The arms were
pinioned to the side by band of hoop-iron,
which passed around the body. Two heavy
weights, about sixty pounds, were attached to
the hoop. They were segments of an iron
wheel, apparently parts of saw-mill wheel
The hands of the deceased were white, small
and delicate, evidently belonging to one unac-
customed to work. The feet were small and
we'll shaped The body was of medium
height The neck had been severed by some
sharp instrument. From the appearance OF
the cut it was evidently an axe. From the ap-
pearance of the body 1t had been under the
water for some time, probably eight or ten
days. Decomposition had commenced, and
the gas, distending the corpse, had raised it,
weight and all, to the top of the water. The
body was taken to Pekin yesterday, where
Coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict rem
deren in accordance with the above facts.
