The Portsmouth Chronicle says young lady
living in North Berwick had a husband select
ed for her by her parents. The would-be hus-
band had lived in the family three years. The
young lady had promised to marry another low

9TH. The daughter anticipated the affair by
leaving home and marrying the man she loved

REVIVAL OF AN OLD CRME.-The numerous
cases of criminal poisoning brought to the pub
lie attention during the past few years warrant
a suspicion that the fashion of two hundred
years ago is again becoming popular: The last
case reported is that of Catharine Melchior, of
Louisville, who lost two husbands in a very
short space of time. Catharine Melchior, a
young and beautiful German girl, was ser
yant in the family of Mr.. Sharp, at Rockport,
Ky. Two years after she came to the family
Mrs: Sharp died very suddenly and her mourn
ing husband married his comely housekeeper,
she insisting on deed to her of his farm and
other property before the marriage After a
year of married life Sharp suddenly grew sick
and died. The young widow was then sought
in marriage by Mr.. Bachelor, who, after
three years of conjugal happiness, went the
way OF his predecessor How many more hus-
bands Catharine might have obtained it is inn
possible to say, but inquisitive people began to
pass comments on the similarity of the COM
plants with which the three persons had come
to their death. The bodies were exhumed, and
poison was said to be discovered. The arrest of
the woman followed, and her trial is to take
place February 26th

Hosea Biglow on the Alabama Difficulty.

Mr.. EDTToR,-Reading the "Biglow Papers,"
recently, came across the following passages,
which seem to me very apropos of the attitude
of the English government and the English
press with respect to the statement of the
american case" H. &C.

Why, she has taken hundreds from our ships,

She never stopped the habus-corpus act,

She's all thet's honest, honnable and fair,
