Yankee Enterprise. Not long ago a
woman was in Cedar Falls peddling
corsets and engaged in fitting t. EN- to
her customers. She drove lively
trade, and circulated freely among first
families. Her patrons are now quite
provoked by the report, which reaches
them from the West, that she has been
arrested for being man in woman $
clothes! If it be true that the corset
dealer is a man, it certainly .is to be adj
nlitted that he possesses, in surprising
degree, the spirit Of Yank &c en- terprise.

three or four weeks before being discoy-

his position on tho National Constitu-
tional Amendment. He informs us
that he has examined that document
thoroughly, and finds it all right, and,
if elected, will stand by it. He also
endorses the Majority report of the Re
construction Committee, and in all
other respects declares himself up to
high water mark.
As we have already said, the Fair
mont Vedette takes strong ground in
favor of DIR. Dorsey as the nominee. 1t
concludes an elaborate editorial in his
favor as follows:
DIR. Dorsey is thorough scholar and
thinker, n judge of men and move
mentS, able to defend the truth wher-
ever and however it may be assailed,
and if elected to the Congress Of the
United States would stand II ready and
able advocate for the principles we
most nrdently cherish. No man in the
range OF our acquaintance, if modesty
and disinterested self-sacritice are mer-
its, is more deserving the public atten-
ton and confidence than DR.. Dorsey.
We cannot afford to leave such men at
home in these times when just such
talent is required in our National
Councils. We have hitherto refrained
from speaking on this subject, waiting
for the action of the thinking people,
and now that we hear from all quarters
the name of DIR. Dorsey mentioned by
our fellow-citiZens with so much favor
in this connection, we but echo the voice
and choice of n vast loyal citizenship in
announcing the nnme of DR.. ID. b.
Dorsey as the favOrite of the people for
tho responsible Office of Il Representa-
tive to Congress.

A Wealthy widow Falls i'm Love with
n Cnnchmnm

From the PittsburOh Gazette Of Yesterday.
About two years since wedding
took place in the office OF Alderman
Donaldson, and II wealthy old gentle
man named Burns,-then reSidiling in
Manchester, but since deceaSed-be-
came the husband of IA prepossesSinC
damsel ofsweet sixteen. after enioying
the sweets of COnnubial felicity for the
brief space of sixteen months, the aged
bridegroom died, leaving his youthful
partner the snug sum of ten thousand
dollars. Being very fond of paying
visits to the rural districts, as we'll as to
the grave of her dear departed, she fire.
quently had recourse to the livery sta
BILE of Andrew Jackman for the purpose
of hiring vehicles. Here she met II
young man named Clay Crider, who
was engaged by Mr.. JHckman in the
capacity of a groom or driver. AT the
lady's own request Crlder always took
charge of the team when she went out.
After time they became intimate
then atiectionnte, and finally the young
widow threw herself in the arms of the
"lackey" and declared the full meas
ure of her pnssi On. Another marriage
ceremony took place in the dingy Of
flee of Alderman Donaldson OH the 10th
day Oflast January, and Crider became
the lawful successor of Burns, not only
in the affections ofthe lady, but in the
management of hCr property, EVERY
thing glided smoothly with them for
a time, until tho fnther OF the bride
learned that Crider had left wife and
two children in Gettysburg. After in
vestigatinE the report, and being
fully satisfied of its accuracy, hc re-
paired to the office of Alderman DON
aldson, where he preferred charge of
Digamy against the husband of his
daughter. Crider became cogniZnnt of
this matter, and ere he could lie arrest
ed he fled from tho city. He returned
on Saturday, however, and on Monday
was arrested by officer Sarber, who, nj
his request, conveyed him to the home
OfMrs. Crider, No. ., Water alley, Allie

nish. the necessary bail, but she only
laughed, and chuckling him playfully
under the chin, bid him go TO the PEN
itentiary like n man. He turned from
her disgusted, and i'll two hours after
was consigned to the county Jail to
await trial.

FUN AMONG THE ESPIRITUALISTS.-T
Spiritualists have been holding a ma
tional convention at Providence, r. L.,
this week, and very free and easy and
entertaining affair it seems to have
been. Some of the more rational tried
to tie up the brethren and sisters to
rules and methods, but they scorned all
such bondage, and talked and sung and
resolved with the most perfect abandon.
Among the resolutions the followingis
n model for political conventions, and
it is quite as logical as many that come
to light in such bodies:-
Whereas, the people have outgrown
the superstitions of the Christian relig-
ion; therefore resolved, that tobacco.
rum, Sunday schools, churches, hang
ing, Andrew johnson, animal food,
and swearing, are against science, rea-
son and experience, and that they are
not to be tolerated.
Mr.. Child. of Boston, the philosopher
of the sect, delivered his opinions on q
variety of topics. He Thought the devil
was good thing in his way, but that
his ways were devilish, and he was
about played out, and bound to go
down. Didn't believe in force, in mat
terS of morality, but admitted its virtue
in physics; thought the founder OF
Christianity and Fourier were very
good sort of men, and was opposed to
ignoring them believed in music and
dancing, but was deadly opposed to
pork. Miss Hutchings expressed her
disgust at so much talk and so little
action. She said the convention had
done nothing, and wanted to know
what good resolutions did when Que
was suffering with pain in the bowels.
She wanted something done and that
quickly, even if she had to do it her
self. Mr.. Wheeler reinforced Miss
Hutchings, and exhorted the members
of the convention not to make fools OF
themselves and act as if they had a
patent right to all the insanity in the
world. The great sensation of the meet,
ing was a poem from tho spirit ol
Andrew Jackson, written and spoken
through Sanford b. Swan. Itconcludes
with this comforting ASSURANCE

and parcel of the same, and we hereby
fully endorse the action of the Union
County Convention which met at the
the Court House, in this county, on
Saturday last, and we hereby pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means to
secure the election of the nominees OF
that convention.
9th. That we regard it as the duty of
all true Union men to stand by and
support the nominees of the Union
party, whether made by State, county,
Congressional or Senatorial Conven-
tiOnS.
7th. That we regard, and will hold as
our enemy, and the enemy of the Union
cause, any man who may be Il candidate
for any office in opposition to any nom-
inees of the Union party, whether such
candidate may run under the name of
independent, conservative, or any other
hYpocritical covering.
9Th. That we appreciate the conf
dence which the late County Union
Convention so plainly expressed
by the passage of n resolution author
izing such delegates as might be
appointediSSby this convention to act
in com junction with the delegates
of their appointment i'll the State, Con-
