From the st. Thomas Times, March 6.
Our Sister island st. Croix is generally COM
planning. Is it not possible that the general
activity in the Sugar market will have the power
to assuage its griefs and cause the good people
of that island to cease their wailing. At one
time their was a hope that the bonds that binds
US, like the Siamese twins, would be severed
by an operation-not surgical, but financial.
That hope is fast melting away, but whilst
there was a prospect Of the operation being
performed our Sister showed a strong disincli-
nation to be parted from us and expressed her
desire to 60 along with US in terms that were
rather stonger than were agreeable to the Pow
ers that be. She appeared to expect great
things from the change that she so ardently de-
sired to share with us. Now that the hope is
nearly faded away for us and entirely vanished
for them, with whom, in fact, it existed only in
their fertile imagination, it behoves them to
put their shoulder to the wheel and take ad-
vantage of the times. Sugar making has now
become an art that enlists in its behalf the pow
erful aid of science. From the old Common
Process" for Muscovado Sugars, to Vacuum
Pans, Gadsens Pans, with Pneumatic and Gen.
trifugal Driers, the last step has been the Con-
creter, Why does not st. Croix avail herself
of these adventitions aids,-supply herself with
labour untrammelled by mischievous legisla-
ton avail herself of those various mechanical
improvements that serve to lessen the cost of
production, and increase the quantity and quail
ity of the Produce; and share in the general
progress of the times

Romance in Renl Life.

About ten years ago young man
named Quaekenbush left his home in
Warwick, Orange county, with a drove
of cattle for New York city. He arrived
at his destination, sold his cattle, and
from that time up to last Saturday his
relatives lost all trace of him. On Sat
urday man of about eighty years ar
rived at Warwick, bringing intelligence
of the missing young man. 1t seems
that Quackenbush was robbed in New
York city after selling his cattle, and in
desperation at MS loas he shipped for
California He went to the mines and
formed an association with two
young mon to care for each other
in sickness and during life, and
to share each others fortune in case
of death. When the gold fever broke
out in Australia, the trio went thither,
and labored together with success. Last
year, however, Mr.. Quackenbush's asso-
ciates died, and as their heir, under the
agreement, he found himself possessed
of about S35, 600. He determined to re-
turn to his early home, and gathering
up his treasures sailed for Liverpool.
There he was taken sick and died last
spring The aged messenger referred
to was stopping at the same house with
Mr.. Qaackenbusb, and as he intended
to como to this country as soon as he
could arrange his affairs, to him was
entrusted the duty of informing the
relatives of Mr.. Quackenbush, in War
wick. He was received there at first
with suspicion; but he produced salts
factory references, and the family have
taken steps to recover the fortune which
await them in England.

III hampshire County.

We confess to good deal of surprise
as we'll as qualification over the election
OF Mr.. PowNELL, Democrat, to the
House from Hampshire. But short
time ago four ofthe six townships in that
county were totally disfranchised, the
registration therein being set asids, ahd
new lists ordered to be made out. But
eew democrats attempted ts register
under the new dispensstion, being con-
yinced that as their prescription was
clearly determined upon, it was useless
for them to strive against it. 1t would
therefore appear that in Hampshire. as
in other counties we might name, Re
publicans have quietly determined to
set this matter right by voting the Dem
ocratic ticket.
And thisisuggests the general proba-
bility that prescription has been carried
entirely toe far in this State. As its in
auguration drove hundreds of Republi-
cans into the Democratic party, SO its
continued excesses are having a like
effect to-day. Peace has come; passion
has calmed down, and the popular sense
of Justice refuses to tolerate the dis
franchisement of men for partisan rea-
sons. The quicker the Republican
party abandons that policy the better
will be it's chances for the future. If it
be run upon the present basis one more
election will settle its fate in this State.

Remarkable Phenomena.

The Amherst, Massachusetts,, Student,
tells the following singular story: The
rock in Mr.. Flsnt's granite quarry at
Mon.on, Mass, has been playing some
curious freaks lately. Several weeks
since a sheet of rock, one foot thick aud
fifty feet square, lifted itself into the
air and broke into pieces with noise
like that of cannon. The explanation
seems to be that the rock to that depth
had been expanded by the heat, aud the
frequent passage over it of loaded teams
caused it to become brittle, as does iron
or steel by long hammering, and at last
it had not tenacity enough to hold 1t In
its bed. Another remarkable phenome.
ma was where the rock moved up hill of
itself, while yet undetached at one end.
A strip of rock, three hundred and fifty
four feet long by five feet deep and five
feet wide, was split by wedges from the
main rock, and Immediately it began to
move up hill, being free at the upper
end, though the inclination was more
than one foot in twenty. This rock
moved one and one-half inches, and an
other strip, one hundred and tifty-four
feet long, moved half an inch.

From the New York SUM-
General Grants Alleged Purchase OF
Bends

In the latest statement respecting the
gold speculation, published by Mr.. Jay
Gould, there was an assertion that Mr.
A. d. Corbin had caused him to take
from Messrs. Stone, Nichols & Stone
$500 900 In Government bonds, which
Corbin said had been bought for General
Grant, who had put into his (Corbin's)
hands for the purpose margin of ten
OF twelve thousand dollars. Mr. Gould
accordingly took these bonds at such q
rate that the party for whom Stone,
Nichols & Stone were carrying them,
and whom Mr. Corbin declared to be
General Grant, made about three thou
sand dollars by the operation, though
Gould and Corbin afterward lost heayi-
ly upon it.
Two of the journals, desirous to ascer-
tain whether there was any other evil
dence to sustain this assertion of Mr..
Corbin's, sent to Messrs. Stone, Nichols
d. Co. to Inquire whether they had ever
brought or carried bonds for General
Grant. Their reply was a mysterious
refusal to give any information. They
were told that the silence would be con.
strued by the public as unfsvorable to
the President, but they persisted in it.
Subsequently, however, as if fearful
that this course might involve them in
difficulty, q member of the firm sent to
q third journal, which had not made
any inquiries at all, "a note, of which the
following is the essential portion:
at was the intention of my partners,
as well as ofmyself, to have taken no
notice of the several articles which had
appeared in the papers; but now | feel
it my duty to state positively that Stone,
Nichols & Co. have never made a tran
saction of any kind or nature IN which
they had any reason to believe or sup
pose that General Grant, either as all
Individual or as President of the United
States, had any direct or indirect inter
est"
1t would be interesting to know what
was the cause which exceited such a
sudden sense of duty in the minds of
Stone, Nichols q Co.; and also why
their conscientiousness took so narrow
range that they sent their explanation
to singgle journal only, instead Of
furnishing it to the whole press.
At the same time it will be noticed
that Messrs. Stone, Nichols & Co. effec-
lively admit that Mr.. COrbin bought Of
them $500, 900 worth of bonds at the
time mentioned In Mr.. Gould's state.
ment, and that Mr.. Gould took them at
the price he mentioned. Corbin must
certainly be one of the smartest knaves
in the world, for he has succeeded not
only in deluding President Grant, but
in taking in the keenest and liveliest
operators of New York.

A RUNAWAY WIFE.
she Attempts TO Poison Her Husband
Before Leaving.
From the Chicago Post, October 25.I

From the Chicago Post, October 25.I
There lived in the town of Batavia
once very happy compile named Fallen.
They were, when they went there q
month ago, poor, but honest, and were
striving after this worlds goods in the
cultivation of a small farm. But now,
where joy had been, is remOrse on one
side and heart-rending grief on the
other. A serpent crept into their Eden
and stole their comfort and happiness
Like Satan of old he gained the conf
dence of the woman, tempted her, and
she did eat and then fed, previously
leaving repast for the deserted Adam,
in which had been mixed plentiful
allowance of poison. This woman not
only poisoned the happiness, but came
very near poisoning the life of her hus-
band. But to come to the facts:
A month ago Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Fal-
len left the shores of Sweden and came
to this country. They went to Batavia
aud commenced farming. Here the ac-
quaintance of Mr.. G. Malstrom was
formed, who became very intimate in
the family of the Fallens. In fact, he
became too intimate to suit Fallen, and
he had a fallen out with his wife on
that account. But she persisted, aud
he, good easy soul, allowed the man to
continue his visits, hoping his wife
would become tired of the fellow. But
contrary to his expectations, she took
decided dislike to him, and detestation
took the place in her heart that
was once filled with love. An elope-
ment was arranged between Malstrom
and the lady, and yesterday they de-
parted for this city, taking considerable
of Fallen's property With them. The
deserted husband followed, and found
them this morning 'at the Williams
House, on Kenzie street. Fallen was
crazy with anger, and wanted to de-
molish Malstrom in the maelstrom Of
his wrath. But officer Jansen inter
fered, and took the recreant wife and
fascinating lover into custody, and
locked them up in the Huron street
Station.
Previous to leaving, Mrs. Fallen made
some biscuits, and, Mr.. F. states, mixed
in some kind of poison. He ate one of
them, became very sick, but finally re.
covered. He took one of them to Gene
va, where it was aualszed and consid
erable poison found in it. He has an
other here and Will have it more thor
oushly apalyZed. In the meantime the
runaways will remain in confinement
until the Sheriff of Kane county comes
for them.
