THE PUBLIC LEDGER.
New and Beautiful Dress on the LIST
of March.


The material for the LEDGER's new
dress, selected by the proprietor at the
celebrated Franklin Type Foundry, Gin
cinnati, has already arrived, and the pro-
posed change will be made the let of
March. The LEDGER will thereafter
challenge every competitor in point of
mechanical execution and appearance.
No money or pains has been spared, or
will be, to make the LEDGER worthy of
the liberal aud increasing support which
it has, and is receiving. at the hands of
an intelligent aud discriminating public.
Editorially, it will continue to defend the
right and boldly expose error wherever
found, from an advanced Democratic
standpoint. The LEDGER will continue
to be white mans newspaper, but will
give all sides, creeds and colors justice.
Oar news columns will contain critical
epitome Of all the leading events of the
day. The literary department will be
conducted with special view to meet the
wants and tastes Of the family circle, as
well as the general reader. The local.
river, financial and commercial depsrt-
ments will be vigorously sustained by
competent hands. If the LEDGER has
been worthy Of success heretofore, II will
strive to be still more so in the future,
andsstarts forward in new career with
increased facilities and bright hopes of
long continued usefulness and pros
perity.

A correspondent of the Boston i'd
certiSer says: eff the French theory
that royal relationships still affect the
policy of nations were true, England
would be in curious dilemma st the
present moment. The Queen, il is cer-
! tain, must pray for the success of Prus-
STA. The husband, whose relics she en-
shrines, was above all things German,
and an intense believer in German
unity; and his brother, the Duke Of
SAKE Coburg, is, as the world knows.
an apostle of the faith. Then her eldest
daughter is the future Queen of Prussia.
Prince Frederick William is high In
command, and is to meet the Emperor
Napoleon on the field as a deadly enc
my. Coming over the family relatives
is to get into a maze. Here is the Prin-
cess of Wales with all her sympathies
for Denmark, and consequently hostile
to Prussia, and what the husbands of
the two younger daughters of the Queen
think of the house which has swallow.
ed up their little States, will be surmis-
ed. The Princess of Wales little dreamt,
when she started a fortnight ago for her
native country, of the horrible turmoil
by which she was about to be surround
ed, nor of the summary way in which
she must return. The subject would be
as an explosive shell in the royal fami-
ly, were it not agreed to leave its merits
undiscussed, and if modern peoples
identified themselves with the int
of the children of their sovereig
nation would be distraught. Tbs
cacy of the situation with the d.I1co
sessed princes is, that if they accept fa5,
aid of the foreigner, they run the risk
of being cursed by their late provinces,
as were the Italian rulers who accepted
Austrian aid.

A BIT OF RoMANCE.-The following,
is from the Grand Rapids (Michigan)
Eagle:
A correspondent, in announcing the
death of Mrs. Maria Matilda Kibby,
wife of Chauncy ii. Niles, resident of
this city, in Cleveland, short time
since, calls to mind a few incidents con-
nected with her love and marriage that
smack somewhat of the romantic, not
to say sensational. Her parents were
well-to-do respectable people, residing
in the State of New York, and sur
rounding their daughter with all the
Iuxuries and comforts that heart could
desire, she was apparently happy and
contented at home until 1862, when she
CHANGED to meet the person who after
ward became her husband. Being of a
pleasing disposition, and withal fair
looking, he gained her affections, which
ripened into love. She formed a reso-
luton to leave her parents, her happy
and luxurious home, and eiope with the
man of her choice, with whom she was
but slightly acquainted.
They did not leave her home to-
gether-Niles starting some hours ahead
of her; he went to Cleveland, thence to
Toledo, from there to Fremont, where
he met the young lady. She there in
formed him that her brother was in
pursuit, and to thwart detection he pro-
cured for her suit of male attire, which
she donned, going from Fremont to
Toledo, where he found employment,
and she went to peddling oranges on the
street, and actually sold her brother one
as he met her, he little dreaming that
the little boy of fourteen was the sister
whom he was in search of.
From Toledo the pair went to Nash
vile. Niles, being an engineer, soon
obtained locomotive-to run from the
former place to Chattanooga, on the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad,
the girl being his fireman. They work
ed on the road but short time before
he received wound by the rebels firing
into the train. He was taken to the
hospital, she following and nursing
him until he sufficiently recovered to
travel to Cleveland. Their next appear
ance was at the Madoc gold mines, in
Canada, they having caught the gold
fever which was raging at that time,
accordingly took up the life of miners.
1t being wet season nothing was done
in the mines, and they returned to
Cleveland. The excitement, hardships
and vicissitudes she had experienced
and endured were too much; a fever
ensued, and after a short illness she was
borne to that home from whence no
traveller returns.
