General Meade,s Letter.

The following is the letter of General Meade
alluded to In our dispatches from Montreal a
daY or two sInce:-
HEADQUARTERS OF TIE EAST, PHILADELPHIA,
Penn, January 8, 1857. Rev. Philip Wood
Loosemore, Acting Secretary, Montreal-Sm:-I
regret most sincerely that my duties and en-
gagements viii not permit me to be present at
the annual public meeting of the Diocesan
Church Society, to be held at Montreal on the
iOth instant, and to which you have been so
KIND as TO invite me by your note of the 4th
should have been very glad If circumstances
had allowed me to avail myself of your complI.
mentary invitation TO have shown by my pre-
sence the interest / take in the work of the
Church, and particularly my earnest desire that
peace and goodwill should reign along the bor-
der; and, although only an unworthy layman
1t would have been a great pleasure to me 70
meet the distinguished churchmen who VIII
assemble on that occasion.
May ask you to convey these sentiments TO
the Central Board, and believe me 10 be,
Dear Sir, most truly yours,

From Europe by Steamship.

New YORK, January 2l.-The steamship City
of New York, from Queenstown January 10,
arrived to-day.
The London Times of January 8 says:-It is
now left for the Government of the United
States to say whether they will accept arbitra-
tion or not. The great question is, of course,
the Alabama depredations. 1t thinks the law
officers of the two countries could, in a very
few hours, frame perfectly satisfactory state
ment, and believes that Lord Stanley, in making
the proposal declined by Russell, will be sup
ported by public opinion.
The English papers contain accounts from all
parts of the country of great storms, floods,
and shipwrecks, and deaths from cold and
starvation.
The students lately arrested ih Paris for hold
ing an illegal meeting have been condemned,
one of them to fifteen years. imprisonment.
General Montebello has been nominated for
Senator.
The Prussian Government will not supersede
the public functionaries in the annexed pro-
vinces, and they will shortly take the oath
of allegiance.
Three ukases have been issued by the Empe-
ror of Russia concerning Poland. One places
her finances under Russian direction, the second
regulates postal affairs and subordinates them
TO Russia, and the third divides Poland into five
instead of ten Provincial Governments, and
gives fuller power TO the Governors and former
local guards.

METHOD IN MADNESS.

AT O'Clock in the evening, four hours before
the commission of the crime, Page called at the
rooms OF the most prominent Photographic
artist in the village of Valparaiso, and inquired
of the proprietor of the establishment as to
whether he had any photographs or negatives
OF him in his possession. At that hour OF the
night the artist did not feel inclined TO look for
either one or the other any great length of
time, and he informed Mr.. Page that he had not
either of the articles he desired in his possession
But on the following morning, after the sad
news had been received and when the walls OF
lamentation were mingled with shrieks of ven
geance, the operator instituted a minute search,
and discovered that he had a negative in his
rooms, from which pictures have been taken,
and have since been sent to the superintendent
Of police of this city, and also to the different
detective agencies.
DOMESTIC DIFFICULTIES.
II does not seem possible that a monster
capable of committing such an atrOclous crime
should have ever succeeded in captivating the
affections of being of the opposite SEX and of
leading her to the hymeneal altar Such, how
ever, was the case. Four years ago, c. f. Page
was married, and short time after the honey
moon had waned, he left the bride of his BOSOM
and went to seek his fortune on the, Pacific
coast in the FL Dorado OF the new world. Some
time since he came back and from that period
his acquaintances have noticed that there were
domestic difficulties existing between himself
and the woman he had sworn to love- cherish,
and protect. The wife in a short time applied
for divorce, and the suit would have been
determined during the present month.
EXCITEMENT AMONG THE CITIZENS.
The excitement IN Porter county, as can well
be imagined, is intensely fearful. If the fugi-
tive should be captured at all within the reach
Of this lnturiated popuace, Judge Lynch would
instantly be enthroned by acclamation,
Before her marriage, which took place about
four years since, at IL years of age Mrs. Page
was considered the most beautiful girl in the
country, and was the acknowledged belle of that
section. Since her marriage she has ever main
tanned the most amiable and pleasant relations
with her neighOOrs, and was admired and
esteemed by all who knew her. Her parents
were also highly esteemed, and Mr.. Long is one
of the most respected, Oldest and weatniest clti-
zens Of that section,
CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
The immediate cause which led to the com.
mission of the tragic deed which has cast pail
over the community where 1t occurred, is not
definitely known. 1t is supposed, however
that it was induced by certain allegations in the
bill fled for divorce. The unhappy victim O
devilish maienancy, could she speak from the
bloody shroud in which she is now enwrapped
might well eXClam-
"Oh! may my fate

And strike them deaf to mans dlssimuat0d love-

A Venerable stove.

The oldest stove in the United States, if not in
The world is that which warns the hall of the
Capitol in Virginia, in Richmond. 1t was made
in England and sent to Virginia in l777, and
warmed the house of the Burgesses and the
General Assembly for sixty years before ii was
removed to its present location, where it has
been upwards of thirty years. 1t has survived
three British Kings, and has been contempOra-
neOus with four monarchies, two republics, and
two imperial governments of France. The great
Republic of America has been torn by civil war,
the breaches partly healed, and still the old
stove remained unmoved in the midst OF all
augusta (Gd.) Press.
This venerable stove, about which so many
paragraphs have been written for long time,
until recently stood in the rotunda of the
Capitol, and warmed only the negro apple and
peanut women. The whole Capitol building
being now Tilted up with a costly and new-fan-
gled steam heating apparatus, the venerable
machine that warmed the House of BuIgesses
and the General Assembly for sixty years, - now
stands alone and cold in the east vestibule of
the Capitol, dilapldated and disected, sans pipe,
sans everything. To judge from its appearance.
the only recent attention it has received is a
coat of gas tar, applied, perhaps, by the hand of
the superintendent OF Public Buildings. A few
days, probably, and ITS mangled fragments will
enrich Yankee Junk shop. Sic transit glOg9a

The Cohoes MastOdon.

The Albany correspondent Of the Syracuse

"The bones oft he Maso Ion eXhumed at Cohoes

which we're very brittle when for while
exposed to air, have been boiled in glue, and

WASHINGTON, January 81.
The storm.
The snow storm that visited us asst night
ragged fearfully until daybreak. The railroads
are all blocked up. Members of Congress ap-
peared enveoped in every conceivable raiment
at the Capitol to-day.
The VetOes.
The President has nearly completed his veto
messages of the bills admitting Nebraska and
Colorado. These messages will be delivered
probably on Thursday. The bills will then be
passed promptly by both Houses, the Presi-
dents objections to the contrary nOtwith-
standing.
The Potomac
remain below the city ice-bound. Some have
been so enlarged for a week past.
The Impeachment.
No decisive measures looking to the impeach-
ment of the President, will be adopted by the
present Congress. The whole matter will be
turned over to the Forheth Congress, because
that body is fresh from the people, and will be
more likely to act in accordance with popular
desires than the present.
General John A. Logan
is here, and advises that the impeachment ques-
ton be referred to the Fortieth Congress. He
seems to think that the President will be re-
moved by that body, and Mr.. Johnson fears a
similar result, and is acting more cautiously
than ever before.

One peplum basque shown to us was formed of
black velvet, about fou- inches deep, plated so
as to form ave points, that in the middle Of the
back being much the deepest. These points
we're surrounded on both sides with white lace,
and ornamented with small medallions.
Gloves for evening wear are invariably long,
and there has been some slight idea OF introduc
ing long black lace mittens for young ladies'
d, mi-tolet wear. We wish this fashion success,
but do not think it win take any stand until
the spring, for which season it is decidedly
more suitable. The coiffure of flowers brooch
back-cOmb, and earrings, worn to correspond
with the dress, are exceedingly pretty when
worn by young ladies, but are totally unsuitable
after a certain age.

c. F. Page, the demon who committed this
fearful act, is a man of about % years of age.
He is of light complexion, and about five feet
by trade and a short time before he perpetrated
the fendish crime-to avoid the consequences
OF which he now flies from the avenging sword
OF lustlce-worked at his trade in the village of
Valparaiso. For the past twelve or fifteen
months, however, he has led the life of an time
rant peddler, who hawks his wares from door to
door. BY habits either of industry and appli-
cation, or pinching penuroasness, he had sue
goods, and was accounted among his acquaint
ances AS man possessed of a competence if
not endowed with absolute wealth.
