DEArH OF A FEHALE NIsER.-A late
Poughkeepsie paper gives the following
account of the death of u noted female
miser in that city:
"Lochy Ostrom is dead" was whispered
about the Courthouse in Poughkeepsie this
morning. "Who is Lochy Ostrom:" in
Rachel Ostrom, or "Lochy." as she was IA
miliarly called, was born in this city in 1892.
When she reached her Majority she became
acquainted with a young Poughkeepsie law
yer named Galley, and an ardent affection
grew up between them until finally her sutton
applied to her parents for the hand of their
daughter in marriage. 1t was refused per-
emptorily, though Galley was in all respects
an honorable man. This, of course, sadly
disappointed the lovers, and they parted.
Some time afterward Hendrix Oslrom, a
brother of "Lochy," who was considered a
miser, died, it is said, partly of starvation,
leaving considerable sum of money. He
was the hrst to drive hackney coach in this
city. Some of his money, $1,000, was in
heyited by 'Lochy." After bis death the
property which ''Lochy" and Hendrix had
mutually enjoyed, was sold, and "Lochy"
then began to hew her own way through the
world. She went out at days work; was in
dustrious and economical to the letter; in fact
ike IltE UEOtUel, size was HiStIIy
The young and beautiful girl had grown TO
be homely and morose woman, on whose
face the marks of time, Disappointment and
soured life had left their marks. Fifteen
years ago the young lawyer, then also grown
old and gray, reappeared. and then again
offered his hand to "Lochy" in marriage.
But she was changed woman. Her heart
had become hardened to her lot in life, and
the proffered hand was rejected. Since then
she has subsisted on friends about the city,
scarcely ever eating a dinner in her own
house. She has been known to say that
mutton CHI p would last two weeks, and one
who knew her, says she would subsist on $40
year. By continually eating at others
tables she managed to save every cent she
earned. She purchased no clothes for
number of years, and for the last fifteen or
twenty years of her life was not inside Of
church.
Il was known that she had accumulated
considerable property, but when asked
whether she wished to do any writing, re-
piled that she did not, and died without
makinsa will. She leaves $4,000 in the
hands of j. II. Pullman. This property will
go to the State.

THE NINTH CENSUS.

The Ninth Census will be exceptionally
interesting, covering, it does, the whole
period OF our civil war. 1t should, among
o.her most interesting matter, give us 4 cor
rect and authentic comparative statement OF
the losses in life, property, and material
incurred during the four years of actual hos
,,lities; the deterioration and revival in
quantity and quality of our great staples i;
the war consumption Of goods. and the
growth of home manu- factures; the decrease
or decline of our shipping and mercantile
Interests; the augmentation of cultivated
area; the advance of steam navigation, rail-
reading. canalling; the clearing of channels
ard currents, and the exploration Of coasts
and harbors. Along with these and kin
dred topics we would suggest observations
upon the decrease of timber, and its effect
upon local climate, and will venture to pre-
dc; that they would elicit very striking re-
suits. Another peculiar topic has been
made very interesting by the phenomena of
a few years past, VIZ: the extent Of volcanic
area within the limits of the Union. Cali
fo.nia, Colorado, Nevada, and the vast inte-
rior regions of our part of the Continent
have by recent explorations, been found to
embrace a very remark able range ofvolcanic
country, including mountains, which, when
in eruption, surpass in their grandeur Etna
ard VeSuvius.
AS regards the numerical growth of our
population in the last ten years. we believe
misunderstanding the ravages fprotracted
warfare, it viii be found TO have steadily in
creased; and. IN this connection. the disfri-
button of various nationalities represented by
immigrants, or the descendants of such, will
afford a prolific theme. The present changed
conditions ofthe negro race, North and South,
will also be a curious topic. There are many
others that suggest themselves, but they will.
no doubt, occur to skilful and attentive COM
missinners. We only hope that the returns
may be SO full, comprehensive. and satisfac-
tory, as TO give the nation really fair quid
pro quo for the cost of the Census, and that
the complete report may prove to be the
most instructive and telling argument that
The u. S. Government could issue in behalf
Of American Republicanism. by showing the
wondrous growth that this nation has attained
IN spite of gigantic dissension, and the mis-
management entailed by the Unsuitable spirit
Of party.

General Gibbon, the commanding
enicer At Camp Douglas, near Salt

ments the center of the grounds. There
is also costly monument over the grave
Of Governor Do,y, who died whilst he

built and ornamented at the expense of
several thousand dollars, mainly, If not
'en,irely. contributed by subscription
from the officers and soldiers of the
California troops The place was kept
by them in the nestest order, but since
the post has been garisoned by regular
troops, though used also by them as a
place Of burial, it has been shamefully
neglected and allowed to get very much
out of repair It is said that General
G,bbon has recently taken large por-
ton Of the stone coping from the GENE
terry walls, which be has applied for
chimney purposes on the house he &C.
cupied AS the quarters Of the command

from a very reliable source. 1t will

A correspoudept of the New York Sun has
solved the great Cardiff giant riddle. He says,
after having contemplated the features Of the
colossus: "That face I once recognized as
modelled from the wax mask taken from the
face Of Napoleon when his body was exhibi-
ted in Paris, and prior to his burial under
the dome Of the Invalids." Barnum seems
to have been particularly smitten with this
explanation of the enigma, and has offered
$4,000 for the statue, ~ an accurate likeness
