Th" fir pan oi it is iruui mo uauy l -:er of the 15th. One of them, was Miss Catharine C. iVwn. of Pownal, Maine, aged twenty,vo:'!ii' other, Miss Clara C. Cochran, .4i -.linden, a native of New Boston, T;- who lately had a home with a brother it llopkint'on. They roomed together it X. 20, Manchester Corporation in v.s city, and have frequently expressed a ir.'oie to drown themselves; bnt their f'nkiis had no apprehension that such was their design. For a few days previous thev hadtslked freely of so doing, and communicated their intention to a room-mate: Vut still without creating anv alarm. A they left their boarding, house late in the evening, however, the ladv rooming with them followed and watched theni. They proceeded hand-in-hand, and with great apparent cheeriu'ness. to the bridge crossing the upper

canal leading to the Manchester Mills ' stopping together upon the stone wall of the canal just above the bridge, and ; .'ether leaped into the water.

' Thf ir whole proceedings were marked ; bv sreat coolness and deliberation. : Both of them left letters to their friends announcing their purposes, and giving i directions in regard to the settlement of their affairs and the disposal of their ef- ; loots. Miss Cochran, we understand, i was to come into possession of several .

thousand dollars at twenty-one years of; ase. Various rumors are afloat in re-. garJ to the cause of this rash act. From ; ail we can learn it is to be ascribed in '. both cases to the grief of disappointed . love. j Below we insert the letter of Miss i t'jchnm to her sister at llopkinton, writ- j ten just before her untimely decease,! ani very eareiully placed in her trunk, j "Manchester, August 14, 1853. j Dfar Sister: 1 received your letter List Wednesday and contrary to your custom, answered it the first opportunity.

Miss Cotton left 815.50 in money. She also left a short letter for her father and one for her sister, bidding them adieu, and stating that she should not be living when they r eceived the letters. These

letters contained io. ner Douy ue

With minds in such a sorrowing state three weeks ago Sunday, Miss Cotton and Miss Cochran remarked to their room-mate, Miss Davis, in three weeks from to-dav we shall die. After that

they frequently remarked that they

She left the following poetry and a postscript, which gives some clew to her state of mind: "O, Cyrus, dear Cyrus, It was for loving you, That makes me so unhappy, For you have proved to me untrue. llow manv times you have promised That you would marry me, But how little did I think That 1 should ruined be. i I know you have tried to ruiu me But now I'm far away, i And prrlmps we never shall meet again Until the judgment day. i 1 hnve strayed far from friends aud home, , You for to forget, Bu l you are ever present, And vou I think of yet.

their remarks were not taken in earnest. Miss Cotton had told MioS Davis : that several limes, once at Lowell, she had been on th"e bank of the river to drown hersslf, but her courage failed her. The week before the fatal deed they did not mention the subject to any one, and seemed to act as if they had forgotten it. On Sunday one said to the other, 'I did not speak of drowning du- : ring the week, because I wanted to leave i your mind uninfluenced by anything I : might say." The other responded, "for

the same reason I have been silent , ; about it." Miss Cochran worked on a dress till a late hour on Saturday evening, j I and on Sunday they both appeared as j usual till nearly noon, when they began to pack their trunks. I ! After dinner they devoted most ofj their time in writing letters, and giving j I directions about their affair?, seeming all i j the time to be in so good spirits, that no j ! serioues apprehensions were felt by Miss j j Davis, or others who had intimations of J what they had 6aidand done. They ate ' . a hearty supper, and appeared in a pleas- i : ant state of mind till they went up stairs

for the last time. Then, when they ( were joked about their talk of drowning

themselves, they cried. Jliss Cotton rave Miss Davis three letters, and asked

, her to put them into the post-office the i next morning, and also gave her labels j for her trunks and boxes, showing where I they were to be sent. A little after I dark they cume down stairs, dressed in i white, and Mis.' Davis and one other lady

The .HaiucUquor Law. BY J. . CLEMENTS In light and gloom the scenes of Umo Had swiftly onward fled; Affliction's pall, deep sorrow's sigh, Were seen aud heard, while o'er the sky A darkning cloud was spread. The w idow'e tear seemed shed in vain, The orphan's cry unheard; While deep-toned waitings reut the air, And hopes were crushed in sad despair, And horrors worse were feared. The crimson tide of life's fresh fount The reeking blade did stain; The infant on Its mother's arm, Who least of all e'er dreaded harm. With murj'rtut hand mat tlain. The tender-hearted youthful wifo Was doomed to early woe; With throes of anguish ne'er exprest, But felt within her riven breast, Her tears did ceaseless flow. Such griersaon wore her life aw ay , Her form in dust was laid; For her there was no partner dear Who e'er should shed the silent tear Where her new grave was made.

Female ltarbera. The New York Sunday Atlas tells the following somewhat amusing story of the new field to which female labor is being directed: Miss Caroline E Putnam, of the city of Salem, Mass, has announced to the

Hojrii-PriccKTtie Crop. The prospect of the next season', supply of hogs are favorable for a larger number than we have ever had. All accounts concur in the opinion that there will be a large surplus in Kentucky. We have seen various persons from all the Southwestern sections of the State

month she had four times as many customers as she could attend to. She therefore called in the aid of Josef duBois, an aged knight of the razor. Josef was a good shaver but nobody wanted him about their chins, while there was the least possible chance of calling the skill of Madam d'Courcey into action.

And how often would they wait for hours, for an opportunity to place their faces under the pressure of her fair hands. One bright and beautiful day in the month of June, an aged citizen of the West End, a man of some five or six hundred thousand dollars, and a widower

at that, was seen toddling down Broadway. On reaching the corner of Broadway and chamber 6treet, a small placard arrested his attention. Though the letters were large, they were badly printed, and the old gentleman found it difficult to read them. 'Hey, day! what docs all this mean!' he said, as he vainly attempted to decipher the placard 'what does all this amount toP nd then he took out his specs, carefully wiped them, and was enabled to ascertain that Madam Joscphene d'Courcey would shave gentlemen!

Road is, that the merchants of this place

are shipping their goods from Cincinnati via, of the White Water C.nal to Metamora, in Franklin co., and then waggoning them to this place. Their reasons for shipping by the Canal is, that they can get their good much cheaper than bv the Jeffersonville Railroad.

! This is verifying Mr. Remain's words, ! as he said in his speech at the Court

i House in this place a few weeks ago, I

"that the Buffalo, in emigrating from

one locality to another, always pursued the most direct route." The same argument will hold good in reference to man. When we start to go to Cincinnati, we invariably take the Vally route. This has always been the case from the first settlement of the state, and always will remain so. The produce raised in Frankiin, Rush, Decature, and Shelby, must, and will eventually find its Vay into the city of Cincinnati by the way ef the White Water Valley. Rushville Republican. Worse and Worse. The late Secretary of Utah territory, who was at

broached the subject,) we nave nau a notion that a line from this place to Liberty, or near it, and from thence by

Dunlapsville to Laurel, and thence perhaps by Versailles to Madison, would eventually be found the most practica- j ble, and one on which the lowest grades could be had at a reasonable expense. The Indiana portion of the line, howev-

ler, must be left to the selection of the

citizens of that State keeping in view directness of route, lowness of grade, and importance of interests to be promoted and accommodated. Between this place and the State line, there is no obstacle in the way of making a read of easy grades, without a curve, and of cheap construction. We are informed that a convention is to be held at this place on the 27th iiut.

at which delegates are invited to be pres- , ent from all points, both in this State

and in Indiana, who feel any interest in promoting this great work which is to connect the Southern system ol railroads and the navigable waters of the Mississippi valley, with the Lakes and the great Northern and Eastern systems of railroads. We hone to see a full atten-

as indispensable, i nis, in my opinion, would be the idea naturally drawn from his remarks. But indulge me a moment, whilst I endeavor, in a few words, to present this point of the subject in its proper light. Now, Light and Darkness, Heaven and Hell, Christ and Adam, are extremes, and where ia the man so bewildered, as to conclude, for a moment, that their proper position would be between the two! Would my friend himself be content with the 'half way house!' I presume not. Then we cannot, consistently, be content until we reach the higher extreme. The lowest position in which we find our species is

only one, and scarcely one, remove from the merely animal part of creation being governed by no higher law than that which pander to their inferior passions. The ascending seale from thence, is first, the seraglio, then polygamy, bigamy, and then the one, wile systom, which is certainly quite an improvement on eve
