GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
some mere Uufortunats,-A sad story.


IFrom the Detroit Post, Jan. 26
Several years since, John Lefevre, a
resident of Erie, Penn, died, leaving
his little daughter, Jane, an orphan,
and entirely destitute of both friends
and money. A family by the name OF
Ratigan, living in the immediate vicin-
ity of the house occupied by Lefevre
at the time of his death, became inter-
ested in the girl, and finally took pity
upon her helplessness, and adopted
her. She soon forgot her bereavement,
and became very much attached to her
new parents. Years passed, and the
girl grew to womanhood, comedy and
dutiful, and was the pride of the house,
hold. Her company was much sought
after by the young people of her ac-
quaintance, and in consequence she
visited her friends, and was with them
large portion of her time. In an I'M
guarded moment she was tempted with
many fair promises made by young
man, and yielding she fell. Shortly
after tue RatigaDs moved to this city
and rented house on Orleans street,
where they now live. The evidences
of the girls guilt began TO manifest
themselves, and finding it useless to
longer attempt concealment, she last
Sunday morning confessed her guilt to
her adopted mother, who, enraged al
what the girl had done, turned her out
of doors. Jane begged and plead to
be received back, but the mother was
firm In her course, and she was forced
to seek shelter elsewhere. She applied
at several places for admittance, but
was repulsed, and finally, weary al
heart, and with consciousness of hel
guilt expressing her beyond endurance
she wandered to Windsor, and subse
quently towards Sandwich. Night
came on, and fearing to ask for shelter
lest she should again be turned from
the door, she sank down by the road
side aud wept herself to sleep. The
wind howled around her, aud played
among her hair, the snow fell upon hel
and gradually covered her as with q
blanket, but she needed it not. Sh'
was fast losing consciousness anC
strength in death. Morning came, anC
with it assistance to the fallen girl. A
gentleman passing by saw portion o
her dress above the snow, and upon
making an investigation discovered
Jane with life nearly extinct. He a
once took her to his sleigh and carried
her to Sandwich, where she was PLACED
under the care of kind family; bu
her exposure was too much for her, ant
on yesterday she died. Her adopted
parents in this city were notified, bu
they refused to own her or to bury the
body, which was accordingly taken car
of by the authorities of Sandwich.

Erie htlus Affair at Olathe--ORe man
Sh0t and Another Hung.

From the Kansas City Jour. of Conn.,, Jan. 20.
Yesterday we learned the particulars
of horrid affair which occurred Thurs
day evening, about three miles from
Olathe, johnson county, Kansas. Three
men rode up to the house of f. HUFF,
ESQ.,, who was standing in the door.
when one of them shot at him, the bal
entering his back near the left shoulder,
coming out near the nipple of the
right breast.
Other shots were fir d, the wadding
from one discharge falling on bed III
which were two of Mr.. Huff's children.
His wife, as soon as the firing com.
menced, took one child and fled the
house. After the robbers and would
be murdereTs left, Mrs. Huff returned,
and luckily just in time to save the
children from being burned to death,
the bed in which they were asleep
being half consumed.
The object of the ruffians was to rob
Mr.. HUFF of large sum of money,
which he was supposed to have, but de-
posted in the bank a few days before.
Being frustrated, the villains went to
an adjoining house, occupied by O..
Myers. they demanded his money,
and were informed that he hadn't any.
They then placed a rope around his
neck and hung him up twice, in order
to force him to tell where his money
was. He was finally let down. and the
robbers, findingIthey were baftied, beat
him over the head swiths their pistols,
and left him in an insensible condition.
Although badly injured, it is expected
that both Mr.. Huff and Myers will re-
cover. They are well-to-do German
citizens, and are highly respected by
all who know them. No arrest of the
robbers has as yet been made.

If there is any one thing that an
Indian breads above another, it is our
modern appliances for travel. This
was exemplified last winter when Hole
in-the-day, chief of the Chippewas,
and his subchiefs were on their way to
Washington. Arrived at the Suspen-
sion Bridge, Niagara, they were oppos-
ed to risking their precious selves upon
any such coDtriyance as that, and pre-
ferred to cross by canoe. But they
were compelled to follow the fortunes
of the cars, and so they made prepare
tions for bidding farewell to earth and
friends. They threw themselves fiat
upon the bottom of the cars, rolled
themselves up in their blankets, and
groaned hideously and necessarily un-
til they were fairly on terra firma again.

weather in Chicago, and that the people are

KILOGRAMS TO THE SUN.-The waves
of sound go only 377 yards in a second,
while the earth Itself goes eighteen and
one-third miles, and light ten times fas.
ter than that; while electricity (which
again is probably another kind OF vibra-
ton of the solid atoms of bodies, and
certainly not fluid runs along wire
about half as fast again as light. So,
if the earth were a cannon ball, shot at
the sun from its present distance, with
the velocity it now travels with, and
the moment of explosion telegraphed
to the sun, they would get the tele-
gram there in about five minutes, and
see the earth coming in eight
minutes, and would have nearly two
months to prepare for the blow, which
they would receive about fifteen years
before they heard the original explo-
sion. This is merely taking the sun as
target to be shot, without regard to
his power of attracting the earth at the
final rate of 800 miles a second.-Deni-

LEGISLATIVE ITEMS.

The Louisiana legislature convened
on the 18th.
There is a bill before the Missouri
Legislature providing for the assumption by
the State of claims growing out OF Prices
raid, during the war.
The lower house of the Illinois Leg
islature has adopted a resolution, giving
state aid for the completion of the navy yard
at Mound City, on which the United States
government has already expended SlOO,OOO.
In the lower House of the Tennessee
Legislature a report has been made by q
special committee recommending the I'm.
parchment Of Judge Frazier, OF the Criminal
Court Of Davidson county, accompanied by
articles of impeachment. Judge FTazier's Of
fence was the liberation from arrest, under
habeas corpus, of the members Of the legls-
lature arrested last summer for absenting
themselves and leaving the House without a
quorum. He will probably be impeached.
After long and violent discussion,
the lower house of the Missouri legislature
sdopted the Senate concurrent resolution,
approving GOV. Fletcher's action IN suppress
ing outlaws in certain counties IN that state,
and cOndemning the attacks made ON him as
having a tendency to create spirit OF hos
tility TO the civil authority. Nothing IN the
resolution, however is to be construed, as
approving the acts of violence committed by
citizens and soldiers, upon the law abiding
people.
