The Convention of Pennsylvania adopted

nays
The Convention of New Jersey adopted

tuition. The majority for its ratification was
only 19 votes
When the Convention of New York met,
the opponents of the Constitution were
about two thirds of the whole body. Alex
ander Hamilton's logic and eloquence secur-
ed majority for it.
North Carolina remained out of the Union
more than eight months after the new gov
ernment went into operation. The Conven-
tion met and adopted va resolution that
bill of rights and certain amendments ought

at their town meeting. Only 292 voted for
the adoption of the Constitution; 2,7Os voted
against it.
Subsequently the Legislature called a Con-
vention, the Governor giving the casting
vote for so doing, in the smaller branch of

the Constitution by a majority of only two
votes, the yeas being 81 and the nays SO.

A SINGULAR SToRY.-The Portsmouth, N.
H. journal relates singular story arising
from desire to possess an old piece of fur
niture, in accordance with the rage of the
day A lady, now residing at Cape Eliza
BETH in the vicinity of Portland, two or
three years since purchased at auction in
Portsmouth, an old mahogany chair with
brass nails. The price paid was fifty cents
After taking it home she undertook the repair
Of the cushion, and on opening discovered
some papers, with the whole value of which
the public have not been made acquainted
1t is said that an important will of one of
the Earl of Derby family was here brought
to light, which sent large estate to different
heirs from those who have inherited IT, In
formation, it is said, was sent to England, and
special messenger was sent ont who gave
the lady large reward How much is not
known, but as she was enabled TO invest
$50, 900 in government stocks last year, it is
thought that she made a profitable business
in her chair speculation. The name of the
lady is Mrs. 8Iayberry. The informant of the
Journal, Mr.. F. P, May, of Greenland, has
resided in her neighborhood, and has seen
the chair since the treasure has been de-
veloped. 4Q

A STORY ABOUT DIR. KANE.
A FORTHCOMING BOOK.

We find the following in the Rochester.
"a book will probably appear within
short time, giving the facts in the history of
DR.. Kane, the Arctic navigator, which have
hitherto been shrouded in mystery. 1t is
true that he was for years engaged to Miss
Margaretta Fox, one of the young ladies who
first presented the phenomena of spirit
rapping." DR.. Kane fell in love with the
young girl while she was sitting as public
medium in Philadelphia, in 1852, when she
was fifteen years of age. With her mothers
consent he removed her from all association
with the Spiritualists, and placed her in
private school near Philadelphia, to remain
during his absence in the Arctic regions
"On his return in 1866, they were to have
been married, but the opposition OF Dr.
Kane's family was such that Miss Fox re-
leased him from his engagement, He loved
her, however, too well to live without her,
and in April, 1856, the engagement was re-
newed, with the understanding that it should
be kept secret till the publication OF DR..
Kanes great work should realize an indie
pendence for him. In October, 1856, his
physician having ordered DR.. Kane to Eng
land, he was secretly married to Miss Fox
and made his will, leaving $1,000 to her in a
private trust to his brother His last letter
was addressed to her.
''The legacy was not paid, and some inlu-
rious reports having been raised, Mrs. Kane S
legal advisers urged suit for dover as the
widow, and the publication of memoir
One was prepared, embodying one hundred
and thirty-four of DR.. Kane's letters, and
Mr.. Carleton had it in press, when the pub
lication and suit were both stopped by a
compromise with the brothers, and executor
of DR.. Kane; they agreeing to pay the lady
the interest of the money left her, and sum
down to repay her expenses, provided sh'
would discontinue the suit in the Orphan
Court, Philadelphia, and would seal up the
letters, with the MS memoir, and place then
in the hands of a trustee, who would surren
der them to the Kane family at her death.
"a bond was signed by the Kanes in 1862
for the observance of the terms they agreed
TO, Mrs. Kane being permitted 10 reclaim hel
letter, &c, in the event of their failure to pa.
the quarterly installment of interest Thi
agreement was violated by their refusal t.
pay-first, the sum promised for her expenses
then the quarterly instalments, and il
June last Mrs. Kane reclaimed her letters G
the trustee She is now at liberty to publisl
the volume which is to establish her iai
fame, and to show the world n singular eA
ample of faithful love, enduring through ur
kindness and calumny. The death of Mrs
Fox, Mrs. Kane's mother, has retarded tn
publication, but it will doubtless appear i
good time"

TEARING Down THE AMERICAN FLAG
A man named Samuel II. Smith, of Boons-
boro', Maryland, was arrested by Captain
Naile, Provost Marshal of Frederick, upon
the charge of having torn down the United
States flag and breaking the flagstaff. This
is said to have been done some time last
week, at place called Bienville, near Boons-
boro', on the occasion of Sabbath school
excursion of the United Brethren denomina-
ton. He was imprisoned and awaits an ex-
aminationof his case. The Rev. NJ. s. Shufol
was also arrested by the same officer upon the
charge of melting the traitor Smith to COM
nit the outrage. He was discharged upon
his parole, with orders to report daily to Col.
Wooley at his quarters.-Baliimore Ameri-

Ex-Governor AND GENERAL H. A. WISE,
of Virginia, defends himself warmly from
the charge of being traitor. Believing sin
cerely in secession as a State right, he was
just as honest in his opinions as the most
loyal consolidationist. According to this
view of his obligations to his Government,
there never can be such thing as treason.
The sincerity or incincerity of a mans belief
has little to do with his political crimes.
John Brown was as sincere in his opinions
as Governor Wise, but, when John under
took to invade the State and usurp the powers
of government in Virginia, Wise hung him.
In State matters wrong -headedness is as
much crime as bad-heartedness, because err
rOneous doctrines, practically enforced, may
do a vast amount of mischief Taking up
arms against the United States Government
is constitutionally defined to be treason, and
as the Ex-Governor is great stickler for the
| Constitution, he will have to square his ac-
count satisfactorily with that instrument be-
fore he can claim exemption from the charge.
| The attempted revolution has produced more
than one change, for Wise is heartily rejoiced
that it has killed slavery. He had even made
up his mind to be an emancipationist and
advocate the extinction of slavery, notwith-
standing that he had promised to hang every
'abolitionist who should come into the State
preaching such sentiments. Wise says:
Il had determined, if 1 could help it, my
descendants should never be subject 70 the
humiliation have been subject to by the
weakness if not the wickedness of slavery
and while cannot recognize as lawful -an(
humane the violent and shocking mode il
which it has been abolished, yet accept
the fact most heartily as an accomplished
one, and am determined not only TO abide by
it and acquiesce in it, but to strive by all the
means in my power to make it beneficient tC
both races and blessing especially to oul
country. l unfeignedly rejoice at this fact
and am reconciled to many of the worst ca
lamities of the war, because am now con
vinced that the war was special providence
of God; unavoidable by the nations at either
extremes, to tear loose from us black lido
from which we could never have been sepa
rated by any other means than those of fire
and blood, sword and sacrifice. "-Ledger.

was weariness to her, and she devised a
plan for disposing of it, which, in its slow,

committed by slave traders. Through a
period of three weeks she continued break

broken shoulder, fracture of each bone
of the left forearm, another of the thigh bone,
another of one leg below the knee, another
of the lower and upper bones of the right
