it will be of interest to any who contem-
plate employing Chinese labor, we publish,
it:
SAN FRANoIsoo, Sept. 18th, 1869.
j. M. BARR, Esq, Wilmington, Del.
Dear Sir: 1t is our intention to furnish
Chinese labor wherever there is demand
for it, provided no objection is offered by
law.
We propose to import laborers direct

tracts, for $S to $12 per month and found.
The expense of bringing them over to this
country, taxes, advances, commission will
aggregate about 5000 per head and is to
be paid by persons ordering them, if the
laborer faithfully fulils his contract to its
close, but if after one or two years labor he
should desire to throw up his engagement,
the sum of 500 is to be deducted from his
wages earned, as penalty for such act
Security for prompt payment of expenses

been a skillful musician. Some pages of the

others but seldom looked at. The leaves that
are soiled are those on which the simplest tunes
are written; the others contain variations and
more intricate passages. Although her Majesty
has the reputation of having been an accomplished
performer upon the virginia., this music-book
proves that she was wont to skip the more irk-

at height of more than 100 feet above the sea
level affords conclusive evidence of two facts
first, that the land on which the skeleton was
found was once a sea beach or covered by the
ocean; secondly, that the elevation of the land
above the sea must have occurred within a COM

From the Pittsbtrg Dispatch
Our readers will perceive in another column OF the
Dispatch an advertisement announcing the elOpe-
ment OF two mutes from Allegheny City, named re-
spectively Thomas Pollock and Arabella Martin
The particulars OF this rather strange love affair If
such it can he called have been related TO us as fol-
lows, by the father OF the girl who Is now endeayor
ing TO gain some clue OF her whereabouts:- LESS
than a fortnight since Pollock called for the first
time at Mr.. Martins residence, on Western avenue,
representing that he was travelling agent for COM
merclal establishment in Detroit, and that he was
desirous OF selling certain goods by sample. In the
course OF his visit he chanced TO meet Miss Martin
who was aged about 26 years, and had been dumb
from infancy Both being yersed in the peculiar Ian
guage Of persons in their situation, they were not
slow in forming an acquaintance, and numerous
communications passed between them. Finally
Pollock left but promised to return ION the occasion
OF his next call he had further conversation with
Miss Martin and the result OF this intimacy was that
he proposed for her hand in marriage, representing
meanwhile that his business was lucrative, and that
he possessed ample means TO provide for her and
make her happy. The father OF the girl did not
however, favor the suit, and SO the amorous MIch-
gan man felt himself compelled TO cease his visits
Thus ended the first act OF the drama

was announced TO be held for the benefit OF the deaf

accustomed to attend il before, and the circum-
stance did not excite any particular attention the
part OF her parents When night came, however,
and she not having returned, they naturally grew
anxious about her. Inquiries were made, but no in
formation OF the missing one was obtained until next
day, when Mr.. Martin was informed that Pollock
had met her at the Sabbath School, and that she was
last seen in his company. Since then Mr.. Martin,
though diligent In his search, has not heard word
from the missing couple He says he feels certain
they have gone together but is in doubt whether the
girl went with Pollock voluntarily or was taken
away by force as the latter measure could be easily
accomplished, owing TO her inability 10 make any

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man Literally Torn to Pieces In "A MI

n
From the ST. Louis Republican, December IL.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon fearful acct
dent occurred at the Marine Railway Dry Dock Com
pany's works, Just below Carondelet. Patrick Con-
nelly one of the steadiest and best workmen in his
department, was engaged in oiling the journals on
the line shaft on the bridge tree between the two
mills, about ten feet above ground, when he was
caught by the revolving shaft and literally crushed
to pieces, the body passing in the crushing mangng
process through aspace of aboutsiX inches in width.
The brother of the unfortunate man, head sawyer,
and few Of the workmen were hurriedly summoned
as witnesses upon the arrival OF Coroner Spiegel-
deet, at about haif past four O'Clock yesterday, and
after walk OF about mile in the rain and mud,
arrived at the house OF mourning and death. Here
was found the almost frantic wife scarcely able in
her wild sorrow to realize what was going around
her. The steady upright, honest husband to whom
she had plighted her tFoth-the naked, mutilated,
unacceptable body was brought home to her ere
she had been told of the shocking accident about
two hours after its occurrence.
The evidence was simply that deceased was en-
gagged in oiling the shaft under little low roof,
compelling him to creep on his hands and knees
along, and the first known of the accident was n
piercing scream, then the falling of the entire scalp
of Patrick Connolly immediately followed by his
body the left arm torn from the socket, but still at
tached to the shoul Ter by few muscles, the ribs
literally crushed in, and his clothes, excepting
his shoes and stockings, completely torn from his
person.
one of his felow-workmen rushed to him and called
him by name, out the dying man could but answer
by a look and then was dead.
The head sawyer testified to the general good char
acter Of deceased as a workman
He had been at work at the mill at different times
for three or four years.
fellow workman spoke of it as being danger
ous place for man TO work, and another that 1t
was his opinion a loose nut on the splice OF the
shaft caught his clothing as he creeping along
in the discharge Of his duty, and thus he was
dragged and crushed through the six or seven-inch
space between the shaft and sde-boards and the
appearance OF the body and the disintegration Of
the clothing would indicate the correctness OF this
statement.
Deceased was a native of Ireland, Catholic, and
about 80 years OF age. He leaves wife, but no
children. He had Just prepared for himself COM
Portable home and was highly respected as a tenn
perate, honest laborer by his employers and asso-
ciates.
The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the
facts as above stated.
