POOR OLD COUPLE,

Parents of the deceased, and his brother,
have the sincere sympathy of the public
in their great sorrow. No one who wit
asss/d it could ever forget it. They are
kind, hard-working, peaceable, Christian
people. May their faith in God enable
them to bear their great cross.

re- FROM private letter from Avoca,
we learn that the large and handsome farm
house belonging to Miss Kate Dimmock,
and occupied by her brother, situated
about four miles west of the village, was
entirely destroyed by fire on Friday last
The fire broke out in the upper part of the
house, about one o'clock in the afternoon,
and spread with such rapidity that scarce
ly anything was saved. A magnificent IL
brary, valued at two thousand dollars, was
total loss, clothing, furniture, and the
entire contents of the house were consum-

GREAT MAS.--George Lippard, in his new
work. called the NaZarene, thus speaks Of
President Jackson:
."He WAS a man! Well remember the day
waited upon him. He sat there in his arm
chair-I can see that old warriors face, with
his snow-white hair, even now. We told him
OF the public distreSs-the manufactures ruined
the eagles shroudcd with Grape which were
borne at the head of twenty thousand men into
Independence Square. He heard us all. We
begged him to leave the deposits where they
were; to uphold the great bank i'm Philadei-
phia. At last, one of the members more fiery
than the rest, intimatcd that il tho bank was
crushed Il rebellion might follow. Then the
old man rose; j eau see him yet:
Gomez! he shouted. in n voice Of thunder,
as his clutched hand was nised above his
white hairs "Comc with bayonets in your
hands instead Of petitions; surround the White
House with yonr legions--1 am ready for you
nll! With the people at my back, whom Your
gold can neither buy nor awe, I will swing YOU
mp around the Capitol-each rebel of you-on
gibbet, high ~ lIaman!''
"When l think" says the author "of that
man standing there at Washington, battling
with all the powers of bank and panic COM

TragicaI Finale of q Fast wOman's

Lie.
From the Cincinnati Commercial
1t has transpired that among the vic
Tins by the Stonewsll disaster on the
Mississippi, were several fast women, on
their way to New Orleans, and among
them q once famous prostitute of this
city, Ida Lewis by common name Seve-
raj years since, when Saturday afternoon
performances at Pixies Opera House, in
the last year of the war, we're such popu-
lar resorts for all the fast women of this
city, this girl was an attraction, as che
walked and sat side by side with her inti-
mate friend, known as Lille Bartlett.
They we're noted for their beauty, Ida
Lewis being perfect blonde, with long
golden hair, and her companion spark
ling brunette. Ida Lewis lived here sew
eraI years, living an existence that was
a ceaseless round of wild dissipation.
She was always fortunate, however, in
having for "friends" men of means, and
generous as we'll as foolish impulses, so
she always held at her command ell the
luxuries of fast life. She remained here
until about two years since, when she
went to New Orleans witha liquor mer-
chant, who took her for his mistress. and
established her headquarters in the Cres-
cent City. Here she lived until the time
of her death, often visiting St. Louis,
Cincinnati or New York, however, some
lines with female friend, but generally
10 company with her friend"
She was on her way back to New Or
leans from St. Louis, when her death oc-
Cured, in c,mpany with another woman.
One of the passengers rescued states
that she was quite radiant that afternoon
with her still beautiful face, fine form,
SPLENDID clothing and flashing diamonds.
She was seen to jump into the water from
the boiler deck, and to struggle hopeless
" for q minute, and sink forever, in the
midst of plunging mules and struggling
deckhsnds.
