Railroad Meeting at Richmond. —The railroad meeting at Richmond, last week, was called for the purpose of issuing bonds to purchase iron for the C. R. & Ft.

Married—July 15th, by Rev. A. S. Milbolland, Daniel D. Heller, Esq., of Decatur, Indiana, and Miss Annie Jane, daughter of John Cor bus, Esq., of Millersburg. After a long courtship, extending back to the time when he was a member of the Millersburg bar, the auspicious day arrived on which the fortunes of Mr. Heller and Miss Annie were joined. Being next to a bosom friend to the contracting parties to this holy alliance, and entertaining the highest esteem for them, it is from the heart we congratulate them on this union, and most ardently do we hope that all their dreams of fitturn bliss may prove golden realities. May happiness, long life, health, anti prosperity be vouchsafed unto them, and may they fully realize that, ‘ Though fools spurn Hymen's gentle powers, They, who improve his golden hours. By sweet experience know That marriage, rightly understood, Gives to the tender and the good A paradise below.” —Holme* Co. farmer. Ml— *

Communication.—We have received a communication from J. F. E. Miller, of a personal matter, which, for that reason we decline publishing. It has n© general interest ; and if what he complains of be true, it does not warrant the personalities he indulges in in reply-

Upon the return of the President to Washington he will be waited on by a commitce of Virginians, whose integrity and respectability docs not admit of question, as to the real sentiments of the people upon the political situation. It is believed that he will respond in a manner which will be in the highest degree acceptable to the people of that State.

Hearth and Home.—No. 30 will be a specially fine oue, both in variety and excellence of its matter, and the beauty and value of its illustrations. It will contain the beginning of the very interesting story, “The Romance of a Rich Young Girl,” by Octave Fuillet, author of “The Romance of a Poor Young Man,” which was every where so deservedly popular by reason of the singular interest of its plot, the variety, beauty and thrilling character of its incidents, the artistic skill of the stylo, and the healthy tone of its morality. “The Romance of a Rich Young Girl” will be found to possess all these qualities in an equally marked degree. The illustrations .are designed and engraved expressly for us in Paris, by eminent artists. Address Pettingill, Bates <fc Co., 37 Park Row, New York.

We copy the following from the Fort Wayne Gazette of a recent date : "We learn that an attorney at Monroeville attempted to commit suicide on Wednesday week last, by the use of chloroform, which he obtained from a drug stoic on the pretense that he wanted it for his sick wife. Prompt medical assistance saved his life, and he is now out of danger. No cause is assigned for the act.” Allow us to say that the whole of the above is untrue, both in substance and in fact. Our friend had been following the example of some of our Radical statesmen, and imbibed too freely in bad whisky which caused the whole report, and his subsequent head ache. « The above was taken from the Monroeville Democrat of last week. We copy for the Reason that the Gazeffr's statement was in general circulation here, and to correct an erroneous impression. Elias is certainly in a situation to know the facts in the case.

ChANiNG Shirts.—A gentleman, of this city, while en route for Cincinnati, a few days ago, at tempted to change his shirt as cars were passing throught the tunnel twelve miles this side of the Queen City, on the line of the Indianpolis Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad. He was in the ladies' car at the time, and succeded in getting his dirty shirt off just as the train em erged from the tunnel. The general Impression, among the ladies, was that the gentleman was either crazy or drunk— Sentinel. “Hog cholera" may be entirely prevented by the use of charred corn cobs. Collect the cobs in a pile, and burn them till thoroughly charred, and then wet them out by sprinkling water over then. Saturate the mass with brine, and mix with the food of the Logs, and no cholera will effect them. The New York Erprw knows a gentleman who “regularly awallows and retain* from seventy to eighty glasses of lager l>cer per day.”

All sorts of Paragraphs. The sham-rocks most worn in hats nowadays are bricks. —ExcAani/e. Fifty dollar parasols, with watches in the handles, are pretty things. Stanton is said to be sick and without friends. Where is dear. Forney ? A straw for the temperance societies—Grant goes to Long Branch by water. — New York Ledger. Wendell Phillips says he will give Graunt six months' trial. Then he will scaly him. A Pennsylvania infant blew her cheeks out while trying to eat a torpedo. Rizzo, who made 840,000 teaching singing in Philadelphia, has retired to a villa near Naples. Over 100,000 acres of the piney woods of South Carolina have been burned within a fortnight. Mount Whitney, in California, 15,000 feet high, is said to be the highest peak in the United States. The Enpress Eugenie is about to establish the order of Josephine “to be conferred on ladies of eminent merit and virtue.” The life of General Lee, of the Revolution, is to be published by his son, Henry Lee, with annotations by Allison, Robert E. Lee. The Savings Banks of New Hampshire have 818,900,000 deposits. The ate Legislature increased their tax to three-quarters of one per cent. The fashion of carrying a poodle dog under the arm is the latest follw adopted by young men of 1 society in London. That is, “society” moves in pairs.
