RoMASTIC.-A romance in real life mas
transpred at St. Joseph, Missouri. Says
the Herald of last Saturday week:
During the early part of the present
week young married couple, more blessea
with honesty and industry than WIN
worldly wealth, left Chicago to seek en- en-
ployrnent and fortune in the far west. on !,
arriving in this city their small capita
was stolen from them by some graceless
scamp, and they were compelled to ootaln
pmnloyment at once. The wife obtained
situation as dining-room servant al Tue
Pacific House, and the husband as porter
at one of our wholesale establishments;
On wednesday last an elderly gentle
man arrived here from Montana, and TOOK
quarters at the Pacific. At dinner ne was
waited on by the young wife, and recos,
nized in her daughter from whom ne haa
been separated for many years, WITHOUT
knowledge even Of her existence: Inc
greeting between parent and chiid was
very affecting, and caused considerable
excitement in the dining hall.
The best part of the story is, that the
father. who had started to Montana IN
straitened circumstances, returned. win
q most comfortable fortune. He started
east last night with his daughter and son,
in-law, promising them that they snoulo
fully share in his good fortune.

We have had the longest drought known
to the oldest residents. The corn is about
half crop, and is bound to sell we'll.
New is now bringing T5c. per bushcl, and
it is thought by many farmers that it will
bring SIPS before the next crop is ga
thcred. Old corn is 81 per bushel now.
There is very little wheat seeded-not
more than half a crop, and that put in very
late, owing to the dry weather; and with
an average yield the crop will be small,
and must command good prices. We are
now having rain, which will greatly benefit
the wheat by giving it root to stand the
hardships of winter.

AsroNrsHEp RED MEN.-A band Of
Indians made sudden attack upon de-
tachment Of our soldiers in the mountains.
The soldiers had q mountain howitzer
mounted on a mule. Not having time to
take it off and put in position, they backed
up the mule and let drive at the Indians.
The load was so heavy that mule and all
went tumbling down the hill toward the
savages, who, not understanding that kind
of warfare, fled like deer. Atterward one
of them was captured, and when asked
why he ran SO, replied: "Me big 1Diin

Indian Sun,mer-Thc Baptist Difficult
Times Scarcity of Noncy-unsucccssfulE f-
fort ofthc Banks in Negotiating a Loan.
PETERSBURG, November 2, 1867.
Owing to the changcable weather during
the preceding part of the week, bringing
rain, snow, and frost in quick succession, II
was feared that the glorious season OF IN
dian summer might be pretermitted. But
Nature seldom fails TO vlndicate hcrseH.
The last OF October, or first of November,
as everybody knows, is the time when that
voluptuous season usually makes its ad-
won't. Accordingly, yesterday and to-day
have been soft and balmy, with the pecu-
liar purple tingc in the atmosphere so often
sung bv poets, and which affect the spirits
Of the most prosy. The duration of this
condition Of the weather is extremely va
riahlc. Sometimes it is limited to two or
three DAYS, while at other times it is pro.
longcd to ten days or fortnight. After
it is over it will not DC long before bleak
winter will he knocking at our doors.
The fair for the benefit Of the First Bap-
tist church, which has been going on
for several days, will be brought to close
tonight. The ladies Of this church have
hitherto been prcGmincntly successful in
the management Of such institutions; but
thew have had difficulties to contend with
now greater than any encountered on pre-
vious occasions. The chief obstacle at
this time is the exceeding scarcity Of mo-
ncy. The pressure is well nigh universal
among ali classes OF our community. Few
persons, therefore, have anything to spare
for indulgence in luxuries. Hence even
the Baptist fair, though conducted under
the most imposing auspices, is more OF
failure than a success.
The times, in fact, appear to be growing
worse day By day. Every body is in quest
of money, and even the smallest bill Is
pressed with pcrtinaci1y never Witnessed
before. What all this is to come to is al
most appalling to contemplate. II any
thinr short of a universal wreck in the
South is before US, it is not very plainly
diSccrnible.
In order to afford relief TO the mercan-
I'll, interest, two of our bank oflicers-the
president Of one Of the banks, and the
cashier Of the othcr-wcrc dcputed short
fine since TO 90 to New York to cndeavcr
to effect loan of 100000. After
strenuous efforts, all they could accomplish
was TO borrow 5000. With all the help
the merchants can reader each other,
though thew hold together like band OF
brothers. it is as much as they can do to
meet the engagements OF each successive
day.
