[st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, March 29.]
We heard yesterday Of rather novel
case which recently occurred in Caldwell
county. It seems an old gentleman re-
siding near Kingston, who had 40r seve-
lent attachment for . young girl living
in the neighbor hood. Whether this at
tachment was reciprocated, or whether be
even made it known to the damsel her.
self we are not advised. It happened,
however, that . young man had also
been paying his addresses to the girl,
and rumor had it that he was soon to be
married to her.
This coming to the ears of the old
man, he determined to make bold stroke
to secure tho object Of his affections. His
young rival was poor, while he was bless
ed with an abundance Of this world 3
goods. He met the youth, and deliber-
ately proposed that-he would give him
| his own wife and $500 in cash n he
would relinquish his claims to the girl
and induce her to marry him.
Strange to say, the young fellow ac-
cepted the proposal; stranger still, he
submitted it to the girland she consented
/ to the arrangement; and, what is per-
haps not so strange, the wife of the 6rst
party also significd her willingness to
cheerfully become party in the transac-
ton. Everything thus amicably adjusted
day was Fixed upon to consummate the
trade. and all parties seemed in fair way
of having their wishes gratified.
just at this juncture, however, an in
superable object presented itself IN the
person Of the father of the girl, who got
wind of the affair, and entered his pro-
test against the swap in the most decided
and emphatic terms. The discousolate
husband was compelled to return to his
own wife; aud the young man, finding
he could not get hold Of the $500, sub
mitted to the stern DEGREES of fate with
the best grace possible, and married the
girl himself.

The Connecticut Election.

The result Of the canvass by legislative
committee, Of the votes east at the late cleo.
ton in Connecticut, develops the fact that in
the fourth ward Of New Haven one hundred
hess votes for Governor Jewell are found in
the ballot-box than wa, reported By the can
yassers at the time Of the election and it is
openly charged by Republicans that one hun.
dred Jewell votes have been distracted from
the box, and the same number Of English
votes substituted
1t will be remembered that this is the ward
where without any apparent cause, Governor
Jewell ran nearly one hundred behind the re-
publican vote of the ward, and it was sup.
posed at the time that an error Of one hundred
votes had been made ia the count against
Jewell The ofhcial count at election only
gave Jewell $40 votes, while the republican
local ticket received go votes. Upon open.
ing the box, however, to recount the votes,
only 40 Jewell votes could be discovered.
while declarations were presented to them on
Monday, signed by $50 republicans, that they
voted for Jewell in that ward Subpe1as
were then issued and the voters appeared
personally before the committee and took oath
that they voted for Jewell Moreover, testi.
mony was given by the counters that ewell's
votes were tied up in packages of one hun
dred each, while the committee found in the
box, last week, two packages of ffties. 1t is
generally conceded that this practically settles
the dispute, and that the legislature will find,
on report of the committee, that Jewell has
been elected Governor.

A North CaroIIna Cotton Plantation.


Two men whom | met at the hotel yester.
day, volunteered to walk out with me to u
neighboring plantation, where they were
planting cotton. On our way we crossed a
field Of fifty acres which they said had been
cleared, worn out, aud abandoned unce the
war. We found two negro men, two women
and two boys at work planting. The ground
had been plowed in the fall, and earlier in the
spring had been thrown up in ridges three
feet apart, in the centre of which guano had
been strewn. The final process consisted in
scraping a small lurrow with wooden pow
along the top Of each ridge, dropping the
seed IN, and covering 1t with rude wooden

the plows, the boys threw seed into the fur.

thriving cities of the West
Indianapolis is to the State Of Indiana not
exactly what Paris is to France but more
nearly that than any other capital in the
American States. 1t is the geographical cen.
tire, the political centre, the centre of traffic
and the centre Of religion to the State. Here
the Legislature meets in a worn, dingy and
ugly edihce, and parties contrive their WAYS
that are dark, aud their tricks that are vain,
in which Indiana politics have gained such
notoriety. Here eleven lines of railway meet
under one great roof, and the scream of the
steam-whistle is perpetual, hardly silent even
on the otherwise quiet Sunday. Here the
Catholic bishop has his large cathedral and
the Episcopal bishop his small cathedral and
their edicts go out from this capital to priests
and to people. The city covers broad space
over fiat plain, and the view from the roof
OF the principal printing-house, which gives
complete panorama, makes one doubt whether
business or religion is more the concern ofthe
