4 FORTUNE HUNTER IN TROUBLE. The
celebrated Baron Henri di Riyierc, whose
attemp;cd marriage with belle of Mobile and
subsequent marriage with Miss Blunt, the
daughter of wealthy Southern lawyer, t..
gcther with certain guano specu'atIons and
shooting affairs have acquired tor hlm some
notoriety, was arrested at 4 New York Ho-
tel on SATURDAY night, just as he was gong to
dinner. Tbs charge against him Is very seTI'
Gus one.
It appears from the statement Of Nile. lie
ene S,ile, 4 wealthy and beautiful Partisan
lady. that some years since De Rvlcrc met
her in Paris, and representing himself as an
unmarried man, (athouch he has vile and
two children living aud also giving out that
he was French nobleman OF fortune, induced
her. after selling her estates IN rance, to &C
COMPANY him ?s his wife to South America
They have travelled in great state, and the cx
penscs were all defraycd with the proceeds Of
the ady's property. After spending some
time IN Lima, Peru they returned to Paris.
Finally she learned that his vile was living
and ne left her. He came to this city, and
she followed him. Learning few days ego
that he was staying for short time at the
New York Hotel, she sought the advice OF u
lawyer, and obtained from justice Downing q
warrant Tor De RiviCr 5 arrest.
II the charges against De Rlvlcre are fully
substantiated, it is likely that his travels will
not extend much further, for some time to
come.

adviccs which assure him that the movement
to elect him as aforesaid, whether formidable or

motives which he must respect, and conf

"PRoDUOE BROKERS. j. II. Douglass on
Saturday addressed letter to Assessor Wood
all, at Wilmington, Del, relative to liabtN
to special tax of farmers who sell the product,
OF their farm from the steamboat wharf or
along the market wherever they can fnl
place TO unload the same, but having no par
'cu!ar sand" The Acting CommissionCr
says: That farmers whose occupation it Is
to sell the products of their farms away IRON
the pace of production, and at store or stand,
arc liable to special tax as produce brokers. -
Persons selling in the way described come IL
competition with dealers and brokers who, pay
the special tax, and to exempt the farmer irom
the tax, when doing the same business, wou d
be maniest'y unjust. The farmer who actually
makes it business to so sell should be held as
produce broker Occasional acts, however,
do no; create liability to the special tax, and
as it is believed to he the policy Of the law to
place as few restrictions as is consistent upon
agricultural producers, the statute should be
50 construed.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER c. 1869.

We utterly deny the apparent theory OF
the Richmond Dispatch, that Virginia is under
some paramount obligation, express or implied,
to accede to Gen. Grants wishes, or opinions,
as to affairs in our State. We admit, at once,
and have always acted upon that admission,
that no factious opposition to the President or
his administration should be made-and that
approval should be freely rendered in all cases
where approval can be couscieniously given
When SO much talk is made about Gen. Grant
policy in this State, is it always forgotten
that that policy is shown in the continuance
in Office, with the support of the administra-
ton, Of Gen. Candy?

The marriage took place on the 23d Of April

qualify upon the estate, when lawyer, repre-
senting this woman-who now resides in PbiI-

now there seems no doubt the two were law
fully married. As might be presumed, Mr..
George had lived with Caroline jackson for a
numner of years, and she Is the mother OF four
or five children The estate amounts 10 about
one hundred thousand dollars. suit Is lnev-

property must pass to the wife and children,

GROWING OLD,-Is growing old an art to bc

that people DESTROYS of growing very Old will
not fail to propose to themselves. And thus

is an inheritance. Like talent it may be per
verted: but it exists Independent of all cultiva-
