Exciting Scene mt n wedding.

A highly exciting scene transplred
few days since at one OF the Partisan
churches. A number of fashionable
euuipages halted in front of the portal F.,
and bride and bridegroom stepped
from the first carriage to be married IN
the church. AS soon as the bridegroom,
surrounded by his friends and relatives,
reached the door he was suddenly met
by well-dressed young lady, who had
evidently been waiting for him in the
interior of the church. Stretching ont
both arms she held up before him a
lovely little girl, six or eight months
old, and said in a piercing voice: This
is your child, but you are not worthy of
bringing her up; am going TO ke ep
her. AS for these portraits of him
who has basely betrayed me,
/ will give them back to
YOU" SO saying, she flung two
photographs at his feet. The relatives of
the bride and bridegroom interviewed
immediately in order to put stop to
the painful scene. They surrounded the
young lady, trying to calm her and take
her away. She consented to leave the
church, but in doing so, she fixed her
eyes on her little daughter and exclaim-
ed, Your father has deserted me; but
this day will be an unlucky one for
him; God will curse him, and heaven
will not desert you" The young bride,
who had already been married to the
faithless fellow at the Marie, tainted
away, when she reawoke to conscious.
ness, she allowed herselfto be led to the
altar, where the bridegroom in a falter
ing voice and with a livid face, amid
the scornful sneers of many of the by
ISLANDERS, plighted his troth to her.

Ride on a Cow Catcher.

A correspondent of the Detroit Press
is responsible for the following:
As the day express going west on the
Michigan Central railroad was nearing
this station, Saturday afternoon about
three o'clock, the passengers waiting
the train were startled by the frequent
whistling of the engine, indicating OBJ
structions on the track. 1t was soon
found that Mr.. Saigon, of Sherman, was
driving at a furious pace to get his
horses and wagon across the track be-
fore the engine reached the crossing.
The engineer did his best to stop
the train, but it was too late, aud
the cowcatcher struck just between the
wagon and horses, separating them in
stanter and consigning each place on
opposite sides of the track, little or none
the worse for the collision. But the
strangest part of the story remains to
be told. Mr.. Saigon and his wife (ooth
about sixty tive) were caught up on tne
platform above the cOwcatcher ana Just
in front of the engine, where, instead OF
losing presence of mind and throwing
themselves off, they settled themselves
composedly as though nothing had hap
pened. The old lady put her hands
in her muff, while the old man, with
one hand extended as though grasping
the reins and the whip raised in the
other, assumed an attitude that Dan
Mace might envy, and thus the old cou'
Die rode up to the station in triumph
amid the cheers of the bystanders. A:
soon as the train stopped number
rushed to their assistance; but they de-
clined all aid, manifesting no concern
for themselves, but considerable for the
fate of the horses and wagon. The for
mer were uninjured while the damages
of the latter were found to be verJ
triaing.

Free Trade.

The New York Herald of Saturday
says:
A meeting which was quite numer-
ously attended was held yesterday at
the Merchants Exchange and News
Rooms in Pine street, to take measures
in opposition to a continuance of the
present protective policy of the Gov
ernment. Messrs. William c. Bryant,
David Dudley Fieldiand others addressed
the meeting. Subscriptions to the
amount ofSl7, 1855 were received to fur
ther their objects.
The following resolutions we're unah-
imously adopted: ,
ResOIred, That free trade (by which
we mean an exemption from taxation,
except so far as may be necessary to pay
the debt and defray the expenses of gov
ernment), is in accordance with the
theory OF American institutions and is
demanded by the best interests of the
country.
Resolred, That we will do our utmost
to disseminate the principles and pro-
mote the practice of free trade as thus
defined.
ResOlred, That committee of five be
appointed by the Chair to cooperate
with the American Free Trade League
in promoting the objects of the forego-
ing resolutions.

Mr.. SCHENCK's bill, declaring the
principal and interest of the fve-twen-
ty bonds payable in gold, was smother
ed TO death in President JoHNsON's
deep pocket, but we suppose that twill
be revived and put through at once by
the present Congress. No law, how
ever, of this corrupt and swindling Con-
cress, almost as corrupt and swindling
q Congress as that whose nostrils have
lust grown still and cold, will be worth
one farthing for any practical purpose
The bondholders are perfectly welcome
TO all that it can do for them. If they
are willing to take its resolutions as
pay for their bonds, gazing at those res
lutions through yellow spectacles to
make them look like gold, we say, let
them be INDUCED by all means. The
promises of swindling Congress,
though piled sky-high, do not involve
an honest and just peoples fultllment
of them. How much will the country
care twenty years hence, how much
will the bondholders themselves care at
that time, about resolutions of the For
ty.frSt Congress in regard to bonds
which the Forty-frst Congress had
nothing to do with negotiating and will
have nothing to do with paying The
Forty y.first Congress might az well KEEP
its breath to cool or warm its pOrridge

After a long CESSATION, the secret OF
which was communicated 20 nobody,
President Grant was at last delivered OF
the persons who are to compose his con-
stitutional advisers in the Cabinet. The
country had long, anxiously expected
the delivery. Bat, after all, 1t appears
TO have been premature birth. Al
ready reports are in circulation that the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Attor-
new General, with the Secretary of
STATE, will retire. In the very COM
mencement the nurses and attendants
upon the new administration appear to
have brokea down, and the infant they
have ushered into theworld lived but a
few hours. We deeply regret, Of course,
this unfortunate accident. Our hope
was that the offspring of the General
and the Senate would survive to take
many hearty rebuffs in the great con-
teGt of life. We deeply regret TO hear
that the child was Of such Ticketty
and diseased character that, in order to
avoid future mOnstrosity, it had 20 be
strangled to death in its birth.

Suicide for Love.

Andrew Baker, a wealthy young far
mer of Erie county, Pennsylvania, com
United suicide last Wednesday. He
enamored of a young lady in the Vicini-
ty, who looked upon his suit celdly. On
Wednesday evening he visited her, and
told her if she did not consent to marry
him he would commit suicide. The lady
again assured him that she would not
become his wife, and in his desperation
he left her, and proceeding to his barn,
attached a rope to his neck, fastened the
other end to q beam upon which he had
been standing, and swung himself OFF.
Mr.. Baker owned well-stocked fhrm
of seventy-five acres, was sober and in
and leaves widowed mother,
five sisters and one brother to mourn his
death. His remains were inferred iuthe
Erie Cemetery on Friday, the young la
dy on whose account be committed the
foolish deed attending the funeral. She
seemed very much affected by the tragi-
cal death of her lover.

GRANT has had To succumb to the pol
iticiaus of the Radical party, notwith-
standing the apparently high and inde-
pendent stand assumed by him in hrst
naming his Cabiuet. He has been CON-
PEELED to throw overheard at least two
ont of the three non professional politi-
clans selected as his Cabinet counsel
lors, viz, Messrs. STEWART and HoARE.
In spite of the fact that STEWART offer
cd to make disposition of his business
and do q handsome thing for the
needy Of New York, poor GRANT was
compelled to tell him that his resigna-
tion would be accepted. He has in this
shown himself not to be a man of nerve,
brain, muscle, but mere figure OF
dough, wax, mud, putty-a mere thing
to be manipulated by knave or villain.
This whole affair has been with him
series of stumbles aud blunders, until
he has lost even the respect of those
who will control him.

A newsbOy, just arrived in Omaha, is
quite curiosity as specimen of Young
America. He is but ten years old, and
has made his own way through eleven
States already. He travels, according to
his own words, on his cheek. He rides
on railroads for nothing, ordering his
meals first, and looking for his money
afterward. He is now anxious for
the Pacific Railroad to be opened
through, and proposes to strike for the
