cry listener of the least appreciation, that
the concert was as fine as was ever gotten
up in this city by amateurs or profession

A WESTERN ROMANCE.

In the early part Of the rebellion John
Hughes, who at the time lived in Aledo,
a little town some twenty miles from Mus
catine, and in Illinois, went into the army.
But week before his enlistment he mar
ried an estimable young lady, to whom he
had long been betrothed. 1t was the de-
sire of both that the nuptials should be
celebrated before his departure. We sup
pose Johns experience for a while was
similar to that of hundreds of other young
men who volunteered in defence of their
country. On General Smiths expedition
up Red river, however, he had the misfor-
tune to be wounded, and in that condition
fell into the hands of the enemy after the
battle of Pleasant Hill. He was sent
with others to Tyler, Texas, where he be-
came insane, and from thence he was
transferred to the insane asylum at Aus
tin. The news came back home that he
was killed at Pleasant Hill, and he was
80 reported on the rolls of his regiment
His young bride mourned for him nearly
two years, when, on the advice of her
parents and friends, she accepted the hand
of another, and they were married last
December. Her first husband was dis
charged from the asylum restored again to
his reason, and as soon as he accumulated
the necessary means he started for home.
Arriving at New Boston, the nearest river
town to Aledo, he fell in with man
from that place, and without making him
self known, soon learned the condition oI
affairs at home. Grieved beyond expires.
sion, he thought over the situation, and
finally determined, like Enoch Arden, to
leave his whilom wife and her new-founC
love to themselves. Following out the
resolve, he came to this city, and themes
went up into Tama county, where he haC
distant relatives living. The desire t.
| hear from his old home at last became s,
absorbing that, under an assumed name
he subscribed to the Aledo Record, tn,
village paper. Last month he saw an an
nouncement of the death of his wife's sec
ond husband, together with paragraph
sympathiZing with the bereaved widow
and giving al account of his own melau
choly death rs illustrative of the hardnos
of her lot. Knowing that his wiSs wa
again free, ne forgot whatever resertmer
he might have felt over her second MAJ
riage, and on Saturday last he pct in hi

EBENsBURG, Pa THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1867.

During the night the sea roughened, and
soon violent storm having arisen, the
vessel was in peril O,Gunnel hastened
on deck end watched the sailors lowering
the mainsail, when the lightning flashed
wildly and he saw among them O'Darcy
himself, who flung letter sealed with
black at his feet, and was instantly shroud-
ed In darkness. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe the anguish which the unhappy
man experienced at this sight. He felt
that it was all over with him. Henceforth
not hope remained his heart broke
with grief and despair. When he reached
the residence of his relative, so much
was he changed they could hardly recog-
nize him. A Gvid palor overspread his
countenance. a burning fever consumed
him. Instead of the gay companion, the
joyous guest whom they once knew, they
found man prematurely old, sad, mo-
rose seldom speaking, and never smiling.
His relative, panied as much as aston
ished at this transformation, only ques-
toned OSunnel; but he always evaded
a reply, and many weeks passed before he
had made the slightest disclosure
At length one day, while promenading
together along the canal which traverses
the Heeren-Gratt, one of the principal
streets in Amsterdam, the merchant urged
him more earnestly than usual to reveal
the cause of his condition. O'Gunnel
maintained silence. '.If it is remorse that
torments you p said his relative, you had
| better seek the consolation of religion"
"Alas - said O'Gunnel, with bitter
ness, 81 cannot pray. That consolation
is denied me. l have but one day longer
to live on earth. 1 cannot. My persecu-
tor follows me step by step this evening,
at five o'clock, shall be corpse and
yet cannot pray behold him even now -
he suddenly exclaimed, trembling in every
limb, and pointing with his finger at a
tall young man who marched slowly along
the other side of the canal.
They were obliged to carry O'Gunnel
| home to the house of his relative he was
so weak that he could sustain himself nc
longer. The merchant, persuaded that
his malady was purely imaginary, had q
clock placed in front of the bed, having
previously put the hand forward half AT
hour. In proportion as the fatal moment
drew near, the state of the disease grew
worse but when the clock had STRUCK
FIVE, the unfortunate man became some
what better, and they began to conceive
hopes of his recovery. At this time, tn,
sound of footsteps were heard in the ad
joining apartment, the door was thrown
rudely open, and young man entered
whom they readily recognized as an Irish
man by his dress O'GunneI raiseC
himself in a sitting position, threw a rapic
glance upon the intruder, and fell bacl
dead in his bed.

4 STRANGE CAREER.

Most, il not nearly all, of our citizens
have noticed a dissipated vehicle, some
what resembling a circus wagon, located
on a vacant lot on North Main street, in
which resides an old and poverty stricken
man. Some time in the spring the wagon,
propelled by couple of attenuated horses,
arrived in the city, and the old man pitch
ed his tent in the place mentioned, where,
through the charity of the owners, he has
since been permitted to dwell. Here he
has lived ever since, eking out an exist
ence by the donations of our benevolent
citizens, he having disposed of the horses
for a small sum. Yesterday, +. 5. Muir
ply, Esq, one of our prominent lawyers,
received call from Scotch gentleman
named McGregor, who, after long and
weary search, had found the individual
named whom we have thus described, and
whom he Identifies as the youngest son of
the late Earl of Clanricarde, one of the
wealthiest and most influential noblem en-
in Scotland.
The story related by Mr. McGregor is
almost marvellous in its details, and would
furnish the materials for first class three
volume novel. Some forty years since,
the poor old man who has attracted the
| compassion of our citizens, was dashing
and stylish officer in the Life Guards be-
| coming enamored of beautiful girl of
humble origin, he married her in opposi-
| ton to the commands of his proud father
| and remonstrances of an equally proud
elder brother. Being disinherited and
thrown upon the world, he sold his COM
mission and with his wife came to this
country. After FIVE years of vicissitude
upon a rugged farm in the western wilds,
| his wife died, and broken in spirit and
sore at heart, he relinquished his claim
and roameG without aim or purpose oveI
the country.
During the Mexican war he enlisted az
private soldier, and served until the
close Of hostilities. Since then he ha:
been the companion of rowing Indians, q
deck hand on steam boats, q pedler, &c.
until his arrival in this city. BY tn,
death of his elder brother, which occurred
about four months since, he has becom,
the possessor of estates to the value O
S120, 900 per annum. His good fortune
alas! has come too late. PROSTATE il

TRICKS OF A JUGGLER.

The far tanned Robert Heller, who IS
now delighting crowds by his weird per
formances, cannot be satisfied with his
legitimate triumphs before an audience,
but occasionally does neat thing for his
own amusement, very much to the surprise
of those who happen to be present On
Saturday last, while passing an rinerant
vender of cheap provisions, Mr.. Heller
suddenly paused and inquired =
"How do you sell eggs, suntie 7"
''Dem eggs" was the response; "dey
am picayune apiece-fresh, too, de last
one of 'em; billed 'em myself, and know
dey's fust rate
''WeIl I'll try 'em,'' said the magician
as he laid down bit of fractional currency.
''Iiave you pepper and salt -
"Yes, sir, dere dey is," said the sable
sales-woman, watching her customer with
intense interest.
Leisurely drawing out neat little pen
knife, Mr.. Heller proceeded very quietly
to cut the egg exactly in half, when sud-
denly bright new twenty-five cent piece
was discovered lying imbedded in the yOlk,
apparently as bright as when it came from
the mint. Very coolly the great magician
transferred the coin to his pocket, and
taking up another egg, inquired =
Sand how much do you ask for this
egg 81
''De Lord bress my soul Dat egg i
De fact am, boss, dis egg is worth dime,
shuar.''
''All right" was the response ''here
is the dime. Now give me the egg"
Separating it with an exact precision
that the colored lady watched eagerly,
quarter eagle was most carefully picked
out of the centre of the egg, and placed in
the vest pocket of the operator, as before.
The old woman was thunderstruck as
we'll she might have been, and her Gus
toner had to ask her price for the third
egg two or three times before he could OBJ
tain a reply.
''Dar.s no use talkin, mars'r,'' said the
bewildered old darkey. 81 can't let you
hab dat ar egg, nohow, for less dan a
quarter, declare to de Lord can't
''Very good" said Heller, whose i'm
pertuTable features were as solemn as an
un1ertaker's, ''there is your quarter and
here is the egg. All right
AS he opened the last egg, brace of
fivc-dollar gold pieces were discovered
snugly deposited in the very heart of A,e
yolk, and jingling them merrily togerilEclt
his little palm, the savant cooIly remarked
Every good eggs, indeed rather like
them ; and while am about it, will buy
dozen. What is the price ?''
81 say price - screamed the amazed
daughter of Ham. ''You couldn't bu,
dem eggs, mars'r, for all de money you
got. No, dat you couldn't Use gwin
to take dem eggs all home, 1 is and da
f money in dem eggs all b'longs TO me-
dose dat. Couldn't sell no more of den
, eggs, nohow."
Amid the roar Of the spectators, tn
benighted African started to her domici
TO "smash dem eggs" but with what sue
cess we are unable to relate.
