the London Morning Chronicle. She was
quite young at the date Of her marriage

ton with her, the reasons for which have
never been made public. She received

younger and unmarried sister remained at
Gadshill, his residence, to take care Of the
novelist's house and children. Mrs. Dick
ems survived the separation twenty.one
years, and outlived her husband nine years.
The separation caused a great deal of
unfavorahle comment at the time. The
surviving sons are named Charles, Francis
| Jeffrey, Alfred Tenneyson, Henry Fielding
| and Edward Bulwer Lytton, Of whom the
| first,named is now becoming known as an
author, while Alfred and Edward are far
mers in Australia. OF the two surviving

A WORLD OF GooD.-One of the most

taste as some other Bitters as it it is not a

The MAINE ELECTION IMBRoGIIo.-The
reports from Maine are too conflicting and
too partisan in character for any Just con.
illusions to be founded upon them. The
substance of the allegations, however, are to
be founded upon them. The substance of
the allegations, however, are to the effect
that Gov. Garcelon, who was elected last
Winter by a coalition Of Democrats and
Republicans, in order to keep out the
Greenback nominee, has conspired, with his
| council, majority af whom are Democrats
to act as a returning board, revise the votes
cast at the last election so as to throw out Il
number of Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives returned elected, and thus secure
the reelection of Garcelon by the legisla.
tive caucus. There are frauds in voting
charged against the Republicans IN the late
election, and counter.charges Of intended
fraud made against the Governor and
council in the official canvass soon to be
made.

Elias S. Reed, Esq, of Dover, who has
been practicing law about twenty years in
that town will remove to Philadelphia
about December 1st
The people of Dover ares not troubled
over the Problem of Life" They are
troubled over nothing, and take life as it
comes. Theodore Tilton found it so. The
fact of his having a poor audience on
Thursday night is a reflection, the Sentinel
thinks, on the intellectual condition of our
capital. But there is another considera-
ton. There are two phases of the ques
ton as there are to Mr.. Tilton's life. Hi,
intellectual superiority no one doubted
but the bad odor of his moral or rather
immoral life was too offensive to many who
could not enjoy the one without seemingly
to endorse or apologize for the other.

Wednesday and the child was then working
IN spasms and had every symptom Of that
much dreaded disease, hydrophoba. When
in these paroxysms he was hard to control
and would snap at everything presented to
him. A touch, a word, or the least thing
would excite him into fit, which seemed
to weaken him. Strong anesthetics were
administered by which he has been kept
much quieter, but he is gradually growing
weaker and his recovery is very doubtful

The announcement that "latter,day
saints" are migrating from the Southern
States to Colorado indicates certain sort
of success in new field of Mormon mis-
sionary labor. If it be true that persecu-
ton begets sympathy, the murder of a
Mormon apostle in Georgia some time ago
seems to be bearing fruit. There is, how.
ever some show of decency about these
proselytes, coming, as they do, from among
the ignorant poor creatures that inhabit the
swamps and backwwoods. They agree to
conform to the laws of Colorado, which
prohibit polygamy.

ATTEMPTED RAPB-On Saturday last John
Wilkinson, a negro, was brought before
Squire Beswick charged with an attempt
at rape on the daughter of Mr.. |. j. Long,
who resides about four miles from Milford.
The girl in question is only about ten years
! old, and it seems from the evidence that a
| similar attack was made upon her by Will
kinson some months ago, in consequence
/ of which Wilkinson, who was employed by
| Mr.. Long, as q laborer, was discharged
! from his service and no further notice
taken Of the offence. Recently, however
Wilkinson attempted to repeat the offence
when the girl was on her way to school
She was accompanied by other children
who gave the alarm TO parties living near
and he desistcd from the execution of hi
hellish deed. He was subsequently arrested
and after hearing was held in 5000 bal
for his appearance at Court, in default o
which he was committed to jail.--MiJfor
