The Winona Republicans relates the fol-
lowing remarkable story: asf vl..-..
At 0watonna resided milliner, Mrs. NV.
rick, who was the mother of young and
fascinating daughter of about sixteen. A
very respectable young man named Odell
had been paying the daughter attention for
some time, and it was currently reported
and believed that they were engaged. Mat
ters stood thus when man from Chicago,
or some city further east, to whom Mrs
Myriek was indebted in the sum of $1,000
came to Owatonna and made the acquaint-
ance of Miss Myrick. He no sooner saw her
than he determined to possess her, and be-
ing man INSCRIPTIONS as to what means
heemployed, ne offered Mrs. Myrick to re-
lease her from her obligation of 5000 if she
would give MIN her daughter. Whether
che required much urging or not is not
known, but she finally acceded to the propo-
sition. There was another party to be con-
eulted, however. The young and innocent
gtrl shrunk frcm the idea of being sold--bar-
tered Tor a pFice-and that to a man whose
Character seemed anything but fair, and
whose purpose appeared eolored with dis
honor. She hastened to her lover with the
tale, and they promptly decided to elude
the vigilance of the mother and thwart her
miserable designs by a speedy marriage
They took the first train going east, and
were soon, as they supposed, beyond the
Iowa line, but unfortunately they alighted
from the cars sooner than they intended,
aud they y-were obliged 10 take carriage
aud drive to Cresco. This delay gave the
mother time to overtske them. She tele-
graphed to Cresco and had them arrested,
and after her arrival with her miserable
partner in the disgraoeful bargain, a mock
trial was had and 0de1 was held in ctsto-
dy at her request until she got started home
with her danghter. But instead of going
to o Owatonna tue party took the eastwaFd
bound traiu. The, young girl was almost
frantic, aud tits said attempted to leap from
tho train. Ii is also reported that she at
tempted to- jump overheard from the
boat at Prairie du CHEN. The young
man returned to 0watonna With his
father. The whereabouts Of Mrs. Myrick,
daughter, and the man who sought 70 have
possession Vt her, are not now known.

Congress can, erect four States in Texas,
but only with the consent of the people;
and they are not likely soon to give their
consent. The petition of the Texas Con.
ritory be formed. Texas would, according
to the boundaries assigned, have 81, 400
square miles and 100000 people; Navarro
100 square miles and 100000 people;
Alamo $1,000 square miles aud 100000 peo.
pie. The proposed Territory would have
but 5000 people. Pew people know what
an empire Texas is. 1t would make twen-
tyi five New Hampshires, or more than 1--WE
New Yorks, or nearly six Pennsylvania. It
is nearly three times as large as the island
of Great Britain, and nearly half as large
again as France.

ATTEMPT TO BURN A CITY.-On the night
OF the 10th inst. an attempt was made TO burn
the city of Newburyport, Mass. Boxes lined
with nnc and filled with kerosene oil and dry
pieces of wood soaked in kerosene and put
around the boxes were placed in three different
churches, a stable and other buildings. One
church was destroyed, but the police discovered
the diabolical design in season TO save the other
buildings. If the parties who made the attempt
had succeeded in their plans the city would
undoubtedly have been destroyed, as n was
very windy night and the buildings selected
were centrally located. The rascais have not
vet been caught.
