LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier, of We'd
nesday, says:
On the falls there were some 20 feet
water last evening. and the river fall
ing slowly, with the expectation that
it will be receding quite fast to-day.
Business along the wharf yesterday,
with the exception OF that of the local
packets, was quite dull, with two New
Orleans boats n port. and nothing for
either. The John Kilgour got few
tons of Government freight, and
started South in the evening with but
very slim prospects Of securing a trip.
The Richmond, full of passengers,
including fifty excursionists and
pleasnre-seekers from Memphis, left
New Orleans Monday evening for this
port.
BRAG Run OF THE DEXTER. In
the Courier yesterday we made brief
mention of the time out of the Dex-
ter, Capt. Montgomery, from New Or
leans to Natchez and Vicksburg. The
dispatch was to Moorhead Il Co., the
agents, who received it at z PM,
Monday evening, by which it would
appear that the Dexter left New Or
leans Sunday morning. The time to
the two points was as follows
Hours. Mrs
New Orleans to Natchez ...........-.. 10 10
New Orleans TO Vicksburg. 70 20
This is fully two hours less time
than has been made for several years,
and the Dexter takes rank among the
fastest of the feet. AT the same rate
of speed she ought to have passed
Memphis last night, and come to
Louisville in less than five days.
ST.. LOUIS. = The Democrat of
Wednesday says: tsI
The river is steadily falling. The
Missouri is rising at Omaha and all
the way down. Business continues
brisk on the wharf, receipts and ship
ments being heavy to and from nearly
all points. The weather is warm and
clear. Another mountain boat left
last night, the Huntsville, and the
Ida Stockdale will leave this morn
ing, if she did not also get away last
night. They have an aggregate of
about 400 tons. 9it1 tef e.a

A ROMANTIC SToRY.-A young man from
western Massachusetts, on his way to New
York on one Of the Hudson River boats, re-
Gently, made the acquaintance Of a lady of
middle age, who seemed much interested in
him, and who at length told him that ne
greatly resembled a son of hers who had
died not long ago. Before separating from
him she gave him an urgent invitation to
cal! at o certain number in New YORK,
which he promised to do. On arriving at
the place appointed he found that 1t was
not the residence Of his fellow-traVeller,
but of q friend of hers, who had daughter
of engaging appearance, but apparently IL
ill-health. This young lady, it appears,
was the betrothed Of the young man who
was dead. Owing to his striking resem-
blance to the deceased lover, our friend
from Berkshire was received with great cor
diality, and was urgently invited to call
again, which he did, and before he left the
city ne was engaged to be married to the
young lady. Shortly after returning to his
home, word came that his affianced, whose
health was greatly impaired, was much
worse, and he returned to the city and re-
manned with her until her death. This
young lady had about $4,000 in her own
right, and during her sickness, with the
free consent of her parents, she bequeathed
it all to her intended, and he has since
come into full possession of the entire
amount in Government bonds. Being a
poor young man, of excellent habits, this
legacy will undoubtedly be Of great use to
him, though it can poorly compensate for
the loss of one to whom he had become so
deeply attached under such peculiar cir
umstances.-Sprin Republican.

THE CATTLE D1sEAsE.-The State COM
missioners appointed by the Governor of
New York to Investigate the cattle disease
have made report. The disease, they
state, originated with the Texas cattle, and
is seriously aggravated by driving or trans
portation. 1t is not necessarily fatal to the
cattle. The preventive means taken have
so completely suppressed the marketing of
infected cattle that the commissioners think
the meat now sold is healthier than before
the outbreak of the disease.
At a special meeting Of the Board of
Hebrew Ministers of Philadelphia. held
September Z, it was resolved that, owing to
the existence OF disease among cattle, the
skochetim (killers) be instructed to exam
inc carefully, together with the lungs, the
entire entrails Of all animals slaughtered
for the use of lsraelites.

DIABoLICAL OUTRAGE By A NEGRO IN
BRooKfIELD, CoNN.-THE SCENES OF THE
South REPEATED IN NEW ENGLAND
Brookfeld, Conn.,, was the scene of fear
full crime on Friday last. A negro, sus-
pected of being one who had just been let
out of Jail in Danbury, called at the house
of q MIR Wildman, in Brook6eld, and find
ing no one at home but Mrs. Wildman,
seized her and attempted to violate her per-
son. The house being at some distance
from her neighbors it was some time before
her screams for help could be heard. At
last woman heard them and proceeded to
the house, when she was met at the door
by the demon and struck senseless by q
large stone. He then returned to his vic
tim, and after severe struggle, in which
he choked her until the blood came from
her eyes, ears, and nose, he accomplished
his hellsh purpose and decamped. The
woman who went to the assistance of Mrs.
Wildman, having recovered, gave the alarm
and very Doon g. crown of excited neigh
borg were gathered and the woods and
country searched. The negro WAS seen,
but managed to escape. Mrs. Wildman,
who was enciente, fingered for six hours. A
reward of 81 900 was offered for the wretch
alive, and if he had been captured right
away summary punishment would have
been melted out to him by the Infatuated
towns people .-Ne,r York. Herald.

SINGULAR lSCIDENT.-In recent speech
a, Buffalo, n. i, Hon. John 7. Hoffman
declared that "the day of the sword Ii
passcd," and related the following:
IAN incident occurred at the meeting of
the National Convention which was all
omen. That grand hall where the Conven-
ton met was full of patriotic men. Upon
It's walls were placed the shields of thirty
seven States, and around every shield was
the American flag. Upon the platform
srocd two bronze Statucttcs or noble sol
liers, one leaning upon great bronze
sword. The Convention had been in scs-
giou for several days; ballot after ballot had
been taken. First one was up and then
another, and at last a gallant General,
whose name has never been mentioned any
where save with respect mean General
Hancock. No man knew whether on the
next ballot he was or WAS not 10 be chosen.
Everything Was uncertain, when suddenly
Yhc grea, bronzed sword in the hand Of that
noble statue snapped aeIrnder at the hilt.
Il was not touched by mortal hands-nO
human agency broke ii. Some mysterious,
invisible, and irresistible power snapped it
at the hilr, and the word went forth that
the country was henceiorth to have states
man and not soldier for Il leader" Ire
mendous cheering.l
During the sessions Of the Convention
Nr. Hoffman sat on the stand, and doubt
less knows the truth of his statement. We
saw the statuettes, but we heard nothing OF
this Incident.

MINISTER JoHNsoN's VISIT TO DIsRAELI.
The Cork Qreland) Herald of August 9th,
speaking of Minister Johnson's visit to Mr..
Disraeli, says:
"The new United States Minister has
gone on visit to the Prime Minister at his
country seat in Buckinghamshire. Disraeli,
who is too well acquainted with the foibles
of human nature not to gauge the potency
of soft solder with an indigenous Yankee,
is evidently bent on bottling up Reverdy
Johnson. America, because she is dreaded,
is now, however, apparently in high favor
in courtly circles, and it is a marked
tribute to her success that her representa-
tives at the present moment meet with as
liberal hospitality as that which awaited the
southern ENJOYS in those times when Mr..
Gladstone affirmed that the United States
had ceased to exist"

REvgyGE AND MISUNDERSTANDING Mr..
sayman, of Hamilton, Canada West, who
was q widower, determined to bring light
and gladness into his lonely household by
the Introduction Of a new connubial part
ner. The happy union had only been con-
sumrnated when second woman, who had
kent an eve on Mr.. sayman's estate, ap-
reared on the scene, and made much ado,
protesting to feel the despair of sighted
affections. The damage, however, was be-
yond repair, and the afflicted one could OBJ
tain no reparation which the law would
Justify. Vengeance found q lodging in her
heart, and she resolved upon course
which would bring equal sorrow upon the
object OF her affections. Awaiting favor
able opportunity, when Mr.. sayman was
absent for promenade with his chosen
bride, the disappointed woman entered the
sleeping car" and bducted the frst-born
of her victim, q bright lad Of eleven years
Of age. Mr.. Sayman has made great efforts
to recover the lad, and succeeded in tracing
him to Caledonia, whence he was taken in
a wagon, and it is supposed that the woman
continued from there to the United States.
The lad was piled with liquor before being
taken from his fathers residence. Mr..
sayman is greatly distressed by the occur
renee.

One of the directors of the Union Pacific
railroad reports to the Secretary OF the In
terror that some sections of the road are
very imperfectly constructed, although the
Government commissioners, Messrs. Frank
Blair, White, and Buford, have accepted
them as finished in accordance with the
law. On this report decision of Attorney
General has been called for, and given that
the usual bonds and patents on the compile
ton of each section must be issued as usual
to the company, as the report OF the COM
missioners is the only legal information
which ought to govern in such cases.
