A rather singular report from Miramar,
with respect to Carlotta, the unfortunate
widow Of Macmillan, It seems that one of
women ofher bed chamber whom she brouhgt
with her from Mexico, was said to have COM
mitted suicide by hanging herself. Such
was the rumor spread to justify her removal
from the suite of the ex- Empress, and convey
ance to the city of Vienna. But an Italian
paper asserts that the domestic was suspicion
ed, if not detected in the commission of a
grave crime, believed to be connected with
Carlotta's ill-health and insane state Of mind.
Of course, the only inference is that some por-
ton was periodically administered, which SUI
perinduced or contributed to the disease un-
der which this unhappy lady labored. We
shall look with interest for some confirmation
Of the Italian papers report.

they are too practical not to see that they had
better pay one. fourth Of one per centtax on the
value Of the real estate alone of the County
and SO pay the interest on 100000, and help
carry on this road and secure the building Of
the airline road to Richmond, thus saving
the 80 miles of transportation, by which they
will save over per cent on the value of every
bushel Of wheat they send to market, and also
secure the reduction Of freight charges, Incl
dent to all through lines, by which they will
save another q per cent. In other words the
completion Of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
will save to our farmers 5 per cent on the val
ue Of every bushel Of wheat they send to mar
ket, and ia like proportion on every other ar
ticle they mag send OF need.
