AN INCIDENT.

On Saturday night some weeks ago
gentleman was walking leisurely down
Broadway, apparently very much occu-
pied by his thoughts, when he was inter-
ruFted by an appeal for charity. On
turning to see who had accosted him, he
saw woman about thirty five years of
age, wan and thin, but who still retained
traces of former beauty, and who, from
her manner, had evidently mixed with
the more refined classes OF society. She
said that her husband was bedridden,
her children sick and furnishing, as well
as suffering from the cold. The GENTLE
man thought moment, and came TO the
conclusion TO accompany the woman to
her home, and, if her story proved tru {,
to relieve her. Having informed her of his
intentions, she willingly led the way,
and, upon their arrival at a tenem ent
| house in Baxter street, her statement
was fully and fearfully corroborated.
| The sick husband and three children,
scarcely covered by their rags, were hud>
died together in one corner, trying to
keep from freezing, by combining the
warmth Of their bodies, and their pinchCd
countenances plainly showed that cold
was not the only thing they suffered
from. The gentleman promptly sent fol
a physician, and then gave the woman q
roll of bills, which, on opening, she found
to amount to the sum of fifty dollars. HI
waited until the physician arrived, wher
he ordered him to attend to the Suffering
family and send his bill to him. Thu
humanitarian refused to give the woman
his name, but her husband recognized il
their visitor no other than John Morris
sey, member Of Congress. This inciden
was communicated TO us direct from tn
house agent.-NeaC York Courier.

A VERMONT SENSATION,
Married in Fun but Welded In
Earnest


The Montpelier (Vt) Journal says
that, not thousand miles from White
River Junction a serio~comic affair oc-
CURED, which made the parties to the
joke laugh out of the other side of their
mouths. A correspondent, who describes
the affair, says:
They have got up the funniest snarl
across the river that you ever heard of.
Al party last week, at one --'s,
after exhausting the ordinary games, and
wanting something new, mock marriages
were proposed. Accordingly names were
drawn by lots, and four couples stood up
to be married. The ceremony was per-
formed, and they duly pronounced man
and wife, by the laws Of the State and
before these witnesses. Afterward they
aScertained the man officiating was a
Justice ofthe Peace, and the parties were
legally married. They are in the great,
est alarm about it that ever was. One
Of them, Professor, of =
Seminary, expects lady up from below
in about a fortnight to marry him, and
nearly every one involved is expecting
to be married right away; one other
gentleman to lady below, and they feel
like death. They have searched all the
law books and consulted authorities far
and near, and every thing only proves
the knot still tighter. The Justice has
been fined fifty dollars for each couple.
lie says he is from another county and
can not do business here, and supposed
the marriages not to be legal. 1t is GER
tainly funny escape, and made still
funnier by the fact that the parties belong
to the upper ten" The best opinion is
that they are legally married, and can
only be divorced by the Legislature.

Of wholly excluding therefrom political

partiality, and the highest integrity.

SmaII.pox at Louisville.

The Louisville Democrat of the 24th con-
tains the following:
The smallpox and measles are prevail
ing to a great extent in our city at the
present time. 1t would be we'll for parents
and others, if they would ascertain Of what
complaint their friends die before attend
ing their funerals. The respect we owe to
the memory of departed friends does not
require us TO risk our own health, and that
of our families particularly, when there is
danger of contracting a disease so dire and
one that is 90 commonly fatal. We have
the best authority for saying that the con-
tagion is spreading and is now IN every
part of the city. 1t is important that ali
persons should be protected by vsceinna
ton. Many parents refuse to send their
children to the city schools and will not
permit them to 60 upon the street until the
violence of this malady subsidies. Every
scholar in attendance at The city schools
has been required to get Vaeeinnated, and
we think that keeping children at home
is no additional security against an attack.

THE KRAKEN REDIVIVUs.

Capt. Perry, Of the buoy tender Mag
gle, which arrived in Charleston on Sat
urday morning, reports that about ten
days ago, while off st. SimOn's Bay,
on the coast Of Georgia, he fell in with a
dead monster of the deep floating on the
surface. The carcass stood fifteen feet
out of water, and was about thirty feet
long by twenty wide, with an aligator~
shaped head attached to the body by
neck about fourteen feet in length. AE
well as could be Judged, the creature
was shaped like tortoise, and had been
dead for some time, as the atmOspere was
tainted with the smell. Capt Perry
sailed within five feet Of the carcass, and
would have taken it in tow but a gale
was rising and he was anxious to make
an Offing. The Captain, who is an old
whaler, says that he has never seen
such a sight, and judged that the un-
known creature must have been OF the
oldest inhabitants Of the briny deep, as
the cOrrugatiOns on its back showed that
it had attained an advanced age. The
strange fish " was subsequently seen
by several of the pilots and the light
house keeper of st. Simon's, who all
corroborate Capt. PerTy's statement.
When last seen the body was drifting
toward land, where it will probably re-
main and furnish phosphstes for future
generations. Quite a fishy story.-Sd-

More Trouble In Crittenden
County.
A Reign Of Terror Again
Inaugurated.
The Sheriff Forced TO Resign
and Flee the County.
The Militia Raidlng Over the
County collecting Taxes "

For some weeks past there has been
complete hull in the outrages of the mill
tary rule which Clayton inflicted upoI
the people Of Crittenden county, and al.
though the militia still remained quar-.
tered there, and martial law existed. we
fondly hoped that peace had again re-
turned to that long suffering and serely
tried people: The special dispatch res
ceived by the Appeal and printed in our
issue OF Tuesday morning, announcing
the abrogation of martial law, confirmed
this belief and we looked for an order im-
mediately diSbanding the militia who
still remained in Crittenden. Lulled
thus into state of repOse the news
which we give our readers below, fell
like a bOmbshell among those citizens of
that county who are in our city, and
filled their minds with grave forebodings
for the safety of their friends and reIa-
tives, and made them despair Of an early
return OF 'dOye-like peace"
Mr.. Hardin, the Sheriff Of Crittenden
county, who lives near Marion, arrived
in the city yesterday morning, on his way
to Little Rock, to report to the Governor
and obtain redress, if possible, for outs
RACES committed on him and the people,
on Monday and Tuesday, by the militia
under Maj. Maynes and Capt. Haines.
Mr.. Hardin states that these officers
sent a squad Of men and arrested him,
and confined him until they forced him,
by threats, to resign his position as Shers
lit. After he formally resigned his posi-
ton he was released, and came to this
city, intending to go to Little Rock imme-
diately and lay his case before the Gov
ernor. He left on The steamer Des Arc
Tuesday afternoon.
Immediately on his resignation, man
named Pagan was appointed sheriff, and
with body Of negro militia he is raid
ing the county nominally for the purpose
Of collecting taxes.
1t is furthermore stated that the rea-
son why martial law was removed from
Crittenden county, was in order to enable
the State to collect taxes, which could
not legally be done as long as the county
remained under martial law.
Crump, who was under trial by court
martial, has been turned over to the civil
courts, where his trial, along with that
of Major Earle and others, will proceed
at the proper time.-Nemphis appeal,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March &c, 1869
Dear Sir: At the convention held on the
4lh Of January at Atlanta, Ga, was in
formed that certificates issued by Commits
sioners of Immigration would be honored
on the Southern lines and they would be
passed at two cents per mile. Ga the
strength of this statement | sent TO various
parts Of the North certificates to persons
who desire TO come to this State. The
committee appointed at Atlanta have
thought proper not TO extend the right of
issuing certificates to Commissioners of
Immigration. la view of this fact have
asked the General Ticket Agent of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad to honor
such immigration certificates as | have
heretofore issuRd, and my request has been
kindly granted. | respectfully ask the
officers Of other railroads in Tennessee 10
initiate the example Of the railroad Just
mentioned, as | issued those certificates
under a mistake which it was out Ul
