lady, who is n niece of that Rebcrca Bry-
an who became the wife Of Daniel Boone.
and concerning whose eyes the young
hunter is said to have mistaken them for
u ose Of n deer the pretty backwoods
romance j. told. This lady j. herself,
also, tie widow of one of Daniel Boons
owl nephcws, her second husband, who
assisted in bringing the great
hunter back to Kentucky. She
was born in one of the chief old pioneer
stations cher grandfather near licking
ton and although she is in her eighty-frst
year. she is active in body, busyng her
self with her flowers and garden, clear
sighted and alert in spirit Recently she
heard that one of her middle.aged sons
absent over twenty years in CALIFORNIA;
and presumed dead for more than half of
that time, was yet alive, and her Joy was
great He, too, had supposed his mother
to be long dead. The old lady has q
romance connected with her second mar
rage. 1t is as follows. When her
mother was a young lady, Col. William
Boone, the nephew of Daniel mentioned
above, was very much in love with her,
and asked her, on one occasion, to marry
him. She told him she was engaged to
Morgan Bryan, and that they were to be
married in few days. Colonel Boone
went away and married another young
woman. Aftcrward he with his wife,
visited the other young married couple,
when their first child (now in her fifth
score of years j was but a very few days
old, and seeing the baby he laughed
Now, Milly, as you wouldn't have me
yourself, you'll give me the girl for my
second wife, won't you Whether any
testing promise was made ! am not in

twenty-sevcn she was married, had sew
eral children, became a widow after nine
years and remained one for long time,
when, Colonel Boone's wife having died
some years previously, she really became,
in her own middle life, the wife of her
mother early lover who had claimed
her in her cradle. The good old lady is
accustomed, in relating this to her sons
and nieces, to speak OF itas cone Of the
most remarkable things that ever hap
pened. ] think as too, and it is n true
story.

Dear Register The fire in Chicago,
referred to in my last, was simply the
preface, or introduction to one of vast
and awful magnitude.
On Sabbath evening-Oct. eth, fire
broke out in private stable, which in
league with the Clements high wind
and extreme drouth-resulted in wider
spread and more ravenous confagration
than has ever happened on the western
con tinent.
The flames famed by a high wind, soon
attained strength and power that baffled
every effort All human agency and dc :
vice seemed utterly powerless before the
march Of the fiery monster At length
it swept like vast sea Of fire, onward
and onward, leveling with the ground the
most i'm. 'osing blocks, including costly
churches, hotels, banks and palatial res
licences, sparing nothing in its greedy
march, until it reached the lake, aud was
there arrested in its mad career.

The Cherry Valley Murder.

The coroner's inquest on the body OF
John Stack, murdered at Cherry Valley
Tuesday forenoon, was in session all day
Thursday. The testimony shows that
Michael Dunvey, the supposed murderer,
and three others went TO house in Cher
ry Valley Monday evening, where they
remained till IL o'clock drinking beer.
They then obtained quart Of liquor at
another house, and went out doors and
drank it. Stack then came up and had
had drink with them. At this time all
were intoxicated, and the testimony about
what followed is very contradictory.
Dunvey says he lost the rest of the party,
and went back to the saloon to find them I;
failing to do this, he laid down by the
side Of the road and went to sleep, where
he was found next morning. He also
says the blood on his coat and hands was
caused by nose bleed. The other par
ties say they went home, where it ap-
pears they enjoyed q. free fight. The
Jury brought in verdict that the death
Of John Stack was caused by injuries in
aicted by Michael Dunvey, both being
intoxicated,

Spilituahs;ic Exuvinc.-NO. l.
The Spiritualists, at their late conven-
ton in this place, threw out some broken
shells from the nest they occupied, in
Matching their callow brood of sentiments
and opinions, which it may not be prop
or altogether to overlook, inasmuch as
some nigh. be badly poisoned by the sci
entifc (?) aid, which was brought to their
assistance on the occasion, and which has
left some of its pious debris afloat in the
currents ofsociety.
Science, according to this exuviation
is the light of the world. TO it all truth
must be brought, or all which pretends to
be such, before We can be sure of its gen
uineness. In their view 1t is great
revolutionist, not excepting in its over
turnings the church and the Bible, or
which the church stands.
Well, science has done something, We
are free to admit, to entitle it to the re-
spect of the world, and science, falsely
so called, has also done, and is destined
according to Paul, to do much in mislead
ing thousands. Geological science is tho
lever, by which, if they can find full
crum, they purpose to overthrow, and
doubtless by their assertions, not to say
their reasoning, think they have over,
thrown the faith once delivered to the
saints. But humbly opine, they will
find ultimately, as many others of theii
ilk have found, that, as Beza remarked
"the church is an anvil that has worn GU,
many a hammer"
