~ We heard yesterday an incident,
rom which had we the, space to
spare, q hrst-ciass romance might
be written up. Some time last faiI
a young lady came to st. Joseph from
the East3 to Speudbt winter with q
r6latiyes Unassuping, handsome,
graceful, and intel hgent, she created
"a most favorable Impression with
those who enjo yea the pleasure of
her acq daIIl tanceg and formed an
agFeeable s,dditiOn to the social circle
in lwhish size moved. She was re-
markabl9 istired and quiet in her
man ners, and stIidiously sought to
avoid all estentati0us display in her
Eapparel, hut at the same time exhib-
tied in her dress the most exquisite
taste, and in her manners the most
elegant refinement. ~ ii.1ili 92ol
Shortly after the ladyls arrival she
was called upon bya young gentle
man Ia resident of this county who
had formed her acquaintance in the
East, and soon after his visits became
frequent and his attention marked
and devoted 1t was noticed, as the
| friendship of the two ripened into in
timacy, that the lady began to insti-
tute, in a very cautious manner, in
| quirles for the purpose of aseertainiug
whether the gentleman had the least
idea of her history and condition,
and particularly of her financial af-
fairs. These inquiries were RTosecu-
ted for some time, and seemed to
have resulted satisfactorily. Atlast
after a courtship of some months,
she committed her happiness and
fortunesto the care of the gentleman
alluded to; and the celebration ofthe
nuptials were duly recorded in the
early part of the present spring. The
happy couple Immediately started to
the East, and are now residing at
the former home Of the bride.
And now comes the seqnel.- The
quiet and unassuming young lady
was in reality the pOssessor of i'm
mense wealth and the undoubted
heireSs of an estate worth over $4,-
600, O00-a fact wholly unknown at
| the times even to the gentleman who
had sought her hand aud heart. She
had taken this method to test the
sincerity of her admirer, and finding
his heart the true gold, had commit
4 ed unhesitatingly 3 golden treasure
and pure, warm heart to his keep
ing, without even permitting the
many gallant youths of st. Joseph to
catch the faintest idea of the glitter
ing prize apparently within their
reach. The parties to this romantic
affair are now living happily togeth
or, and it is not probable that, the
agreeably disappointed husband will
ever move to Chicago and apply for
a divorce on account of the innocent
little fraud praCtieed upon him. ~
We give the above incident exact
ly as it occurred, and can assure our
readers that it is rue throughout.

We are permitted by a friend ia
our town, to publish the following
letter from his son i7 r f--
BATTLE MoUNTAIN, Nevada,
" May24th, 1869 III ElHr
DEAR When wrote
to you last was at Winnemuca in
this State, on the Pacific Railroad.
About three weeks ago 1 left it and
came to this place. This is silver
mining district, and is said to be the
best ia the State, There are several
very rich mines here. The little Gi-
ant mine is the most important one
and is being worked the most, taking
out some twenty-one hundred dollars
every twenty-four hours. The mine
is owned by a company of four men
one of them, Mr.. Fox, is from Tus-
carawas County, Ohio.
Since Ihave been here L have been
working for the little Giant Co.
have had to work hard but so far 1
have stood it very well and am able.
to take three hearty meals day. L
am getting four collars day in
gold, and paying eight dollars a
week for board. This would be call
ed pretty good wages in Ohio where
some men will work for 3 months
for fifty dollars in 'Rags." VI i1TF 7
Alpheus McCane is working for the
same company and gets six dollars a
day and boarded.
The HumbOlt River runs about
four miles from this place, and on
either side is-a-yery fine valley some
-four miles wide. About every 10
miles there is farmer, or what they
call here a Ranch, which consists
of from 160 to 400 acres and which
when properly managed produces
very hne crops. They do not need
to feed their stock unless they work
them. Oxen that have worked hard
all summer and turned out in the
be fall, will fatted and make good
beef in the spring.
Men that have lived here for sew
enteen years say they have not yet
seen a winter, but what cattle would
keep fat running out. By this you
may know that the climate is very
fine apd as a stock raising country is
unsurpassed, from the fact that it
costs.Eothing for feed and plenty of
good water and a very fine range
either in Mountain or valley. -sr
The stock business is very prof
table one here There is a man
here now that has a herd of cattle
on the river about 90 miles from
here. About ten years. ago he start
ed with So, 600 worth afstock, and
to day he has, five hundred head of
EeattIel and has sold So. .080 ofbeef out
of his herd! OF course there are men
who come here, and with good man
agement make fortune but at the
same time there are many others
who come here and will work life
time and make nothing. solely for
the lack of good management.
Beef costs 20 cts per ID. so you see
it is not much more than in Ohio,
There is now direct railroad
| communication between here and
New York CITY, and tho distance
has already been made in five days.

The New York Times (Radical)
makes a severe criticism upon the
absurd doctrine Of Senator MORTON
that the twO-thirds requirement in
the Constitution of Indiana only re-
fers to the tWO-thirds present of the
members, whether they have resign
ed or not. The Times ,well says; e.
"But the view itself suffers from
two important drawbacks. In the
first place, It has the disadvantage of
being, obviously, a piece of special
pleading in support OF a partizan
purpose; and being a partiZan plea,
with all it's cIearneSs, itilacts cOgen-
cy and moral force. In the next
place, it conflicts with the constTuc-
ton hitherto put upon the provision
by both parties. and with tie reason
ing relied upon ct the outset to justi-
fy the decision OF the presiding OFF,
GERS. --s-.L .EaL- - 4.-
Until the exigency for this in
JerpretatIon arose, neither party
deemed that the constitutional two
thirds meant less than tWO-third5 OF
the whole number of Senators and
members respectively. Both the
Senate and the House aequfesced in
this rendering in March. last, when
the Democratic one third bolted to
avert a vote upon the amendment.
II MoRTON's theory is correct, the
Legislature should then have gone
on with its business, regardless Of
| the absence Of those who had resign
ed their seats. Add the fact thai
that course was not pursued-that

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, June 2.
President johnson yesterday
addressed an assem- blage of 5, 600 per-
sons for three and half hours. Gov
ernoFr Anderson, of Ohio, Senator
Fowler and other distinguished in
diViduals occupied seats on the stand
Mr.. johnson was introduced by
Hon. Gus. Henry, and was enthusi-
astically cheered. He took the same
grounds, as in former speeches.
Comparing jeff Davis to Sumner,
he considered the latter the greatest
enemy TO the Constitution, for al
though the former fought for seces-
sion, he was still for constitutional
government, while the latter was for
Overthrowing the Constitution and
establishing despotism. AHuding
10 President Grant, he said that they
called Grant a second Washington.
Let US see how ne merits this name.
In his first inaugural Washington
said. ''The magnitude and difficult
ty of the trust to which the voice OF
my countrymen have called me,
bring sufficient cares to awaken, IN
the WiSest and most experienced cit
izen, q distrust of his powers to car
ry on the great and responsible du-
iiss, and TO doubt his qualifications
for SO grand and high trust" In
his first inaugural. Grant said =
1.-The responsibilities of my position
are great, but assume them with
out fear" There is the first contrast
the difhdence and dignity Of the
one, and the arrogant self-sufticiency
of the other. Washington did not
enter the Executive Mansion as into

laHe was approached by one man,

Attorney General that was to be,
with an expensive library and SO
on Gd i1tinitttnl, each one that hoped
for an office coming with an eXpen,
siVe gift to purchase it. Here is 6
second comparison: The real father
of his country was for the mainten
ance of the principles and the good
of his country, while the SECOND
Washington was shreWdly looking
out for himself. He concluded by
saying 81 think the Radical party

About twelve years ago an English
miner left the village ofThornley, to
seek his fortunes in the Australian
gold diggings, leaving behind him a
wife and two children. Variable for
some time, at last fortune smiled up
on him, and at the expiration of
eleven years he found himselfln the
possession of the handsome fortune
of el5, 900. During this long period
of absence from England, he com
municated with his wife, desiring
that she and the children-.two girls,
should join him, and sent the neces-
sary tickets for their transit to Aus
tralia. She, however. never went.
A few weeks ago the miner returned
to his native village, when he diseov-
cred the reason. His faithful part

children. Like Enoch Arden, he at

A Remarkably Tough story.

sponsible for the following tough
yarn, which it declares to be well
youched for. ny --'i-4
A young man named George Dem
slow, aged 81 years, and hving2 2 IL
miles northwest of Rome Centre,
went to bed upon the night of March
18th, in his usual good health. While
sleeping, he dreamed that he was
deaf and dumb, and upon waking he
was Mortified to find that he was to-
tally unable to speak or hear. Since
then, until the evening of the 4th
inst, he has been absolutely and to-
tally deaf and dumb. About 6 o'clock
on the evening. of the 4Lh, he was re-
turning from the field where his faith
er, William DensloW. was ploughing,
when he experienced an odd feeling
coming over him, and was Obliged
to lean upon the fence for support
Soon he thought he heard bird sing,
and upon looking around he saw the
bird, and then he knew his sense OF
hearing had returned. He hastened
to the house, and as he entered the
room his mother was in the act ol
pushing the table across the room;
and he says the noise occasioned was
the biggest noise he ever heard, He
found also that his speech had re.
turned, and in great joy he told hiE

Perpetual Isease Of the Fort
Wayne by the Pennsylvania
Central
The following item relating to the
lease OF the Fort Wayne Railway to
the Pennsylvania Central, we clip
from the Pittsburgh CotnniereiGl. 1t
will be observed the Commercial is
very positive that the transaction
will lead to the building of another
road between Pittsburgh and Chi
eago: '-I- .' NV -f.-+-
The negotiations by committees
on the part OF the Directors
of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
Central Railroad Companies have
resulted in an arrangement whereby
the Central leases the Fort Wayne
perpetually, on what are understood
TO be the following terms:
''The Pennsylvania Company
agree. 60 assume all tthe obligations
of the Fort Wayne road, including
bonds and taxes of every kind, and
to pay to the stockholders 81, ,3S0, 900
per annum, net, or 70 per cent. upon
the present capital stock of 81, ,5O0,-
coo. The Fort Wayne Company is
to keep up its separate organization
and to have the power of fixing the
amount of its share capital. 1t is al
so agreed that If the net profits of
the Fort Wayne road shall exceed
81 $500 600 above the interest and tax
es, the excess shall be invested In the
permanent timproVementof of the road,
until at least S., QUO, 900 have been
thus invested. The net profits last
year were 81 $50, 900, and this year
promises to be much more; so that
not less than 5000, 900 it is believed, f,
will be applied by the Pennsylvania
Railway Company to the improve
ment of the leased road during the
first year." 3d..
Is The lease will go into effect on the
1st of July. The Fort Wayne road
have their earnings for the halfyears
as we'll as the money to be received
from the sale OF the supplies now on
hand. The surplus cash will be di-
vided and will probably amount to
10 per cent, although it cannot of
course now. be definitely stated.
The Central Committee acted under
instructions, but the Fort Wayne
directors viii take q vote of the
stockholders, which will result af-
firmatively. It is understood, how
ever, that the best friends of the
road, and those who have managed
its affairs with so much success, are
not friendly to the arrangement
They Writ ally pass out of exlstence.
The Fort Wayne directors have as
good as agreed upon a dividend of
seventy-two and a half per cent.
stock.
We are Justified in saying, that
this absorption of the Fort Wayne
will result in bringing into existence
new and independent road or
roads between Pittsburgh and Chi
cago. connecting with the Councils
vile. 1t is not a mere suFmisn
that this road IS destined to be an
impor taht link as q trunk line, con-
meeting the lakes and the grain grow
ing regions with tide water, and af-
fording that competition which we
and the public at large so much
need. In this light the absorption
of the Fort Wayne will have its
compensating benefits, and in this
way ultimately will the benefits ut
thearrapgement to the Central be
n1ateTially lessened.
