a STORY ABOUT pR. KANn.

The Rochester IN. " linton is responsible
for the following not very probable story:
"a book win probably appear within short
time, giving the facts in the history of DIR.
Kane, the Arctic navigator, which have hith-
erto been shrouded in mystery. 1t is true that
he was tor wears engaged to Miss Margaretta,
Fox. one of the young ladies who first present
ed the phenomena of spirit rapping.' DR..
Kane fell in love with the young girl while she
was sitting as public medium in Philadel-i
Dhia. in 1852, when she was fifteen wears Of
ace With her mothers consent he removed
her from all association with the spiritualists.
and placed her in private school near PhiIa-
deiphia, to remain during his absence in the
Arctic regions. On his return in 1855. they
were to have been married; but the oDnosi-
ton of DR.. Kane's family was such that
Miss Fox released him from his engaeement.
He loved her, however, too well to live with
out her, and in April, 1856, the engagement
was renewed, with the understanding that it
should be kept secret until the publication of
DIR. Kane's great work should realize an indie
pendence for him. In October, 1855, his ply
sician having ordered DIR. Kane to England. he
was secretly married to Miss Fox. and made.
his will, leaving five thousand dollars to her
In private trust to his brother. His last let
ter was addressed to her. o o0
"This legacy was not paid, and some injuri-
GUS reports having been raised, Mrs. Kanes
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 publication
and the suit were both stopped by compro-
mise with the brothers and executor of DIR
Kane; they agreeing to pay the lady the in
terest of the sum he left her, and sum down
to repay her expenses, provided she would dis
continue the suit in the Orphan Court Phia-
delphia, and would seal up the letters, with
the MS. memoir, and place them in the hands
of trustee, who would surrender them to the
Kane family at her death. A bond was sign
ed by the Kanes in 1862, for the observance of
the terms they agreed to; Mrs. Kane being
permitted to reclaim her letters, &C., in the
event of their failure to pay the quarterly in
stalment OF interest. This 9agreement was
violated by their refusing to pay-first the
sum promised for her expenses, then the quar-
terly instalments, and in June last, Mrs Kane
reclaimed her letters of the trustee She is
now at liberty to establish her fair fame, and
to show the world a singular example of faith
fui love, enduring through. unlxindness and
calumny. The death of MIS-. Fox, Mrs. Kane's
mother, has retarded the publication, bnt it
will doubtless appear in good time"

tracts the following from the New York
papers .#
The Brownsville correspondent of the
New York Heraid writes, that from q
| conversation that took place between
him and a Confederate officer, he learned
| that Gen. Price, of Missouri, had taken
service under Macmillan, who author
lied the General to recruit cavalry force
of thirty thousand men from the lato
Confederate army. He also learned that
several other prominent rebels had re-
ceived kind favors from the Emperor,
whose intentions are to collect force Of
at least one hundred thousand rebels, in
less than one year. i'm order to face Gen.
Sheridan on the Rio Grande.-L0 So
ciednd.
This will certainly he news TO General
Price. For information toall concerned,
| we here state that General Price has no
| hostile intentions against the United
States of America. He came to Mexico
as an exile, seeking for himself and fam
| lily home; for he had every reason to
believe that he would not be permitted to
| live quietly in his own State. His Ma
jesty the Emperor has appointed Senior
Price an agent to examine lands for coll
| onization purposes. In company with
Senior Perkins, late of Louisiana, and
Senior Harris, late of Tennessee, he is
now at Corvoda, in the State of Vera
Cruz, actively engaged in the duties as
signed him.-Nericon Times, Sept. 9Oth.

In Cubaduring the early days of Oc-
tober, We learn from Havana papers,
tremendous floods occurred in the Is
land. In Cienfnegos there was almost
a hurricane, business suspended, no
newspapers issued for a week, and the
inhabitants shut themselves up in their
houses. In BIatanZas it rained almost
increasingly for n week, with high
winds. AT Trinidad it was the same,
and at Sagua la Grande the river Sagua
overfiowed the banks and inundated
nearly quarter part of the city. Houses
were filled and nearly covered by the
flood and, in order to escape from them,
boats had to be used. The water was
high enough in some parts to cover the
telegraph poles, thus destroying tele--
graphic communication, and railroad
trains were Obliged tostop running on
account of damage done to the track.
Several lives were lost by drowning and
la great deal of misery caused.

markable story, for the correctness of
which ii vouches:'
" 1t may be of some interest to stock
growers to know tlrat Mr. Robert BEN
nett, of this city, has mule with
young colt, the latter about four weeks
old. The fact is quite remarkable and
worth remembering. There is no mis-.
take about the matter--the mule is tho
mother of the colt. Mr.. ConkIin, the
photographer, brought US n photograph
of the animal this morning-a remarka-
bly, good picture-the colt ''imbibing"
breakfast, and the mother tied to post
with a halter. The picture may be seen
at our office. 1t ought to be secured by
