From the Chicago Time?, Nov. 2j Incident in Heal Life.

During the past week we have been much employed m the Recorder's Court. We witnessed the narrow escape from the penitentiary by a boy, whoso age, or want of age, did not permit him to receive the sentence which would have been awarded to an older offender. It brought vividly to our mind a scone we saw in the same room before the same court but a very short time since, the principal actor in which, having since been removed beyond all means of discovery, there exists no longer any delicacy forbidding its publicity. Near a small town, in one of the southern counties of Michigan, some months ago, lived a respectable and well to do firmer, named Jackson; he owned and occupied a well stocked firm, which by years of pa tient industry he had brought to a state of great productiveness and profit. He had four sons, strong, hearty, honest, upright fellows, to all of vhom on arrivinir at their majority he had given an interest in tin yield of his farm. These young men all resided in the old homestead, in whose shadow from infancy the v had been reared One of them, the oldest, was married, and from the day of his marriage, his wife had 1 wen installed mistress of the household all yielding to her that respect and defer once which her gentleness, virtues and careful attention to the household duties, richly deserved. Their mother had been long dead. In that happy family there was yet another the dearest and most beloved of all the old man's youngest child, and only daughter, Kate Jackson. She had al ways been the old man's idol the object of tier brothers' deepest, proudest devotion. At the time we saw her, and it Avas but i very few moons ago, she had just passed her seventeenth birthday, but of a form so delicate and features so childlike in their beauty, that to the casual observer she would appear as a chi'd of fifteen. Premising to our readers, that the name we have given in this account to this family, is nut the true one, and assuring them that we have disguised the facts sufficiently to prevent any location of the events, or discovery of the real parties, we will briefy state the circumstances, which are deep ly interesting and strongly illustrative of the many unthought-of realities transpiring daily in our midst without our knowledge. Mrs. Jackson had a brother who had resided in one of the largo eastern cities, where, step by step, he had been led by one act of folly t. another, until he had lost all employment, fallen into habits of intem-jx-rance, and finally imprisoned to await his trial as a person engaged in passing counterfeit coin. His parents, his sster, and her husband and rela ives, upon hear in " the m:iffer i-n h..-.TK- .,. . T. ...... 1 .

' . r' which was carried to the citv of his confinet . , metit ri film t tlm ri.nn, 1 .-.!---. ... ..1 . : . ö , (leposhing it witn a prot..-sional procurer of bail, the young man was released. It was thought host, in order to avoid any search that might be made; for him, that he should return with young Jackson, and in the retirement of an industrious life upon a firm, he might repent his pat misdeeds, and become a good and honest man. In the fall of 1354 he reached the home of his sister, and terrified at I he danger he had ! just escajH-d, he was really and truly repentant. During that winter, and indeed far . .7. 6: 7 7 '"V""1' US1 occupied j in ilium-' 1 ne. uiouieia ill ineir laool'S. lie had often recounted the scenes he had passed through, and the many temptations which life in a city constantly presents to young men; and in confessing his oft repented falls into error, his tears never failed to touch the hearts of the kind friends around him. Handsome, with a temperament (when not made sorrowful by reminiscences of the past) cheerful, happy and full of kindness, he did not fail to awaken in the heart of Kate Jackson, emotions of tenderest pity for his misfortunes, and sympathetic hope in his future. We must be brief in our statement, and therefore we will merely state that many months had not passed before they loved. A few weeks more, and they with the cheerful consent of hr father and relatives, were engaged to be married; the marriage to take place on Kate's eighteenth birthday. Alas! that day will never come to her in this life. The sun, when it rises on that day, will not reflect its fresh tints to garlands for her nuptial banquet; in the sparkling dewdn.pon her grave, and in the falling tear of those who remember her sweet and winning smiles, it will find all belonging to her oh earth, to which it can give even a momentary brilliancy. The happy future which this en thrallmen t of his heart presented to his view, for a time, nerved him to greater efforts to redeem his past errors by present virtues; and tho fair girl looked forward to a long and blissful career with him, in simple and industrious toil. The readiness with which his marriage was consented to by tho devoted friends of his intended wife, at first was unexpected, but not the less gratifying; upon more fully considering it his pride was awakened, and he soon came to look upon it a3 nothing more than he perhaps merited; perhaps, he thought he was not so bad, after all, as he had considered himself to bo. With this better opinion of

himself, he looked upon a life of toil in the country, with no fixed interest with no farm of his own, and no means of buying one with some dissatisfaction; but he carefully kept it to himself. When alone, the thought of bing independent, of being engaged in occupations in which he would be his own master, was constantly upon him, and daily it grew in strength. In an evil hour it received acth1? life, and was sought to bo carried into execution. One day, when attending to some business to the neifrliborin' town, ho met one of the gang of counterfeiters, whose agent he was when detected and arrested in his first step of crime. Ho instinctively shrunk from any renewal of acquaintance, but the other insisted upon it. He was invited to renew his connection with the party. A young and intelligent man like him was just the person they wanted. In earnestness and truth he refused any further association with crime; and his refusal was met by a threat of having his hiding place exposed. Terrified, he implored mercy; he told of the loving, innocent girl who had consented to unite her destiny with his of her faith in his repentance; he spoke of his aged parents, whose hearts had been gladdened by his rescue from shame; he told of his sister and her husband, and the kind friends who had received him to their hearts, and treated him as one of themselves. In vain did he implore and beseech them that he might be left alone in obscurity and peace. His former comrade only used all these circumstances as additional reasons why he should consent to an escape from exposure and conviction for his former crime. At length he was told that if he would unite in a sin

gle venture, he might, by his services in a few weeks, not only secure to himself a handsome provision for the future, but could purchase silence forever as to the past. In charity we will not speculate which of these motives prevailed in bringing him to a consent which he did do after several inter views to which he was peremptorily summoned by his more wily confederate. He was entrusted with ten thousand dollars in counterfeit and altered notes, which he was to pass in Cleaveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Milwaukee, and he was to account t : his companion in half that sum in good money, the balance to be his own. I low to get away, what excuse to offer for his absence; what possible reason could he give for venturing away from the happy home which sheltered him, was most perplexing. For days he delayed his departure at times resolved to abandon it altogether and bravely meet the threatened exposure. But his tempter was at hand. His master was present, and so skillfully were the hopes of gain and the fear of punishment presented to his mind that he solvI ed the difficulty by leaving at iiMit, imknvii to anyone. A brief note, written , , . fJt et- , . , thusc ,v,)om ,,e fcft UuU ; afcw u j ,ie wouM rc,um and plai all. In a few ! i i . , weeks ho was m Chicago, passed a note i i i i i i .anj was detected, convicted and, under an assumed name, sent to Alton. II never wrote to inform his friends of what had befallen him. His departure when discovered surprised all, but particularly alarmed the poor gill. As day after day elapsed, and he came not nor was heard from, the hope which was strong in his truth became weaker and weaker, until, in all hearts but j hers, it ceased to exist. She felt that he had yielded to some unknown temptation. She sought leave to visit a relative who re sided at a distance, which was granted to hcr but soou fter arrivi th(tro ,tfft d hurried to New York. She there procured male habiliments, cut off her sunny locks, and commenced a search an unavailing search for him. She spent weeks in that city without snccess; she retraced her steps everywhere seeking. At last she came to Chicago. She read in a papei two weeks old an account of the Conviction and sentence of a man for passing counterfeit money. His person was described, and to her horror she recognized in it a too faithful picturoofhim she sought. Grief found her a fitting victim. Her inquiries were few; he had gone to States Prison, and a jocular response to her question whether she could get in there to see him, suggested her future course. She would be as near him as possible, even if in a prison. She would be under the same roof, and perhaps wou d see him. Still disguised as a male, that day she committed larceny; she was arraigned, and tho firm resolve of her heart was rearly abandoned, when she recognized on the bench a gentleman with whom in Michigan, while accompanyin her father in his attendance as a member of the legislature, she had become acquainted. Upon seeing him, she thought her recognition certain, and in an agony of shame and grief she sunk exhausted to a seat. Attributing tho emotion to some cause other than the real one, she was allowed time to recover while other prisoners were disposed of. At length she was told to stand up, and feeling assured that his honor did not recognize in the jierson before him the little girl on whose fair head ho had often placed his hand in admiration, she pleaded guiky. She was asked her age, and not knowing the effect, she answered truly. As there was no reason to believe her older than she stated, the court gave her the benefit of the law, which does not permit persons under eighteen to be sent to the penitentiary, and sho was sentenced for a few weeks to the county jail.

It was some hours before she knew that

her youth prevented her sharing the same prison with her lover; and when she did know it, her tears were checked by a firm determination to accomplish her end there after. She came out of that prison with this purpose strong in her mind, but accidentally meeting in the street two of her brothers who were in search of her, fraternal love proved too strong at the moment, and she threw herself into their arms. A few words completes this statement of facts. She was taken home; care and anxiety, the want of habitual comforts, and sleepless nights had been borne under strong excitement: but when that excitement was removed, illness and fever came upon her, and a few weeks ago she was followed to the grave. THE RUNAWAY MATCH. BY FRED HUNTEK. A great many years since, when brighteyed and fair-haired lasses were not so plenty in New England as they now are, there dwelt in the town ofP , aprotty village, distant then, some five and twenty miles, from 'Market-town, a peculiar comly and graceful maiden who has a peculiarly ugly and crossgrained but wealthy old father. Minnie was Danforths only child, and report said truly that she would be his sole legatee. Tue old man was a sturdy farmer, and was estimated to be worth full ten thousand dollars, at that period; a very handsome fortune, indeed. The sparkling eyes and winning manners of Minnie Danforth had stirred up the finer feelings ot the whole male portion of the village, and her suitors were numerous; but her father was particular, and none suc ceeded in making headway with him or her. In tho meantime, Minnie had a true and loyal lover im secret! Who would have supposed for one? moment that such a fel low would dare to look upon beautj and comparative rennement: ins name was Walker, or, as he was generally called, 'Joe,' Joe Walker; and he was simply a farmer, employed by old Danforth, who had int.usted Joo with tho management of his large place two or three years. But a very excellent farmer and a right good manager, was this plain and unassuming but good-looking Joe Walker. He wasyouir toojoniy twonty-three; and he aciuauy icu in iovc wun me oeauiiiui, pleasant, joyous Minnie Danforth, his em ployer's only daughter. But the strangest part of the occurrence, was, that Minnie returned his love earnestly, truly and frankly; a::d promised to wed him at the favorable moment. Things went on merrily for a time, but old Danforth discovered certain glances and attentions between them, which excited his envy suspicions. Very soon afterwards, Joe learned the old man's mind, indirectly, in regard to his future disposal of Minnie's hand, and he quickly saw that hi3 case was a hopeless one, unless he resorted to stratagem, and so he put his wits at once to work. By agreement, and apparently settled coldness and distance was observed by the lovers toward each other for five or six months, and the father saw (as he believed) w kh satisfaction that his previous suspicions and fears had all been premature. Then by agreement also between them, Joe absented himself from the house at ever.ing: and night after night for full three months longer, did Joe disappear as soon as his work was finished, to return home only at late bed-time. This was unusual, and old Danforth determined to know the cause of it. Joe frankly confessed that he was in love with a man's daughter, who resided less than three miles distant, but after a faithful attachment between them for several months, the old man had utterly refused to entertain his application for the younggirl's hand. This was capital. Just what the old man desired. This satisfied him that he had made a mistake in regard to his own child; and he would help Joe get married, and thus stop all further trouble or suspicion at home. So he said: 'Well, Joe, is she a buxom lass?' 'Yes yes,' said Jo. 'That is what other folks say. I'm not much of a judge myself.' And you like her?' Yes, sir yes.' Then marry her,' said Danforth. 'But I can't; the Cither objects.' Tooh! what should you care? Itun away with her.' Klope?' Yes! Off with you at once. If the gal will join, all right. Marry her, bring her here; you shall have- the little cottage at the foot of the lane, I'll furnish it for you; your wages shall be raised; and the old man may like it or not. But' 'Put no buts, Joe. Do as I bid you, go about it at once; and You will stand by me? Yes, to the last. I know you, Joe; you're a good fellow, a good workman, and will make anybody a good son or husband. The old fellow will be so mad though.' Who cares? I say. Go on quickly, but quietly.' Tomorrow night, then,' said Joe. Yes,' said Danforth. I'll hire Culver's horse ' 'No you shan't.' No!' 'I say no. Take my horse; the best one, young Morgan; he'll take you off in fine style in tho new phx-ton.' Exactly.' And as soon as you are spliced, come right back here, and a jolly time we'll have of it at the old house.' 'Her father will kill me.' 'Bah I ho's an old fool, whoever he is he don't know your good qualities, Joe, so well as I do, don't be afraid; faint heart, you know, never won a Ciir woman.' 'The old man will be astounded.' Never mind, go on; we'll turn the laugh on him. I'll tike ciro of you and your wife at any rate.' I'll do it,' said Joe. Tou shall,' said Danforth; and thoy parted in the best of apirits. An hour after dark, on the following evening, Joe made his appearance, decked in a nice new black suit, and really look

ing very comely. The old man bustled out to the barn with him, helping to har

ness young Morgan to uns new phaeton; and leading the spunky animal himself into tne roau, away went Joe vvatker in search of his bride. A few rods distant from the house, he found her as per previous arrangement; and repairing to the next village, the parson very quickly made them one in holy wedlock, Joe took his bride, and soon dashed back to the town of P , and haltered at old Danforth'8 house, who was already looking for him, and who received him with open arms. Is it done?' cried the old man. Yes V answered Joe. Bring her in, bring her,' continued the fellow, in high glee; 'never mind compliments; no matter about tho dark entry; here, Joe, to the right, in the best parlor; we'll have a time now, sure!' and tho anxious farmer rushed away for lights, returningalmost immediatelv. Here's the certificate, sir, said Joe. Yes 'Yes' And this is my wife,' he added as he passed up his beautiful bride the bewitching and lovely Minnie Danforth! 'What!' roared the old file; what did you say, Joe you villian, you scamp, you audacious cheat, you, you ' It is truth, sir, we are lawfully married. You advised me to this course, 3Tou assisted mo, you planned the whole affair, you lent me your horse; you tluu;hlme last night worthy of any man s child, you encouraged me, you promised to stand by me; you of fered me the cottage at the foot of the hill; Vou I did'nt. I deny it. You can't prove it you're a a a , Calmly now, sir,' continued Joe. And the entreaties of the happy couple were at once united to quell the old man s ire, and to persuade him to acknowledge tho union. The father relented at last. It was a job of his own manufacture, and he saw how useless it would be, finally, to attempt to destroy it. He gave in reluctantly; and the fair Min nie Danforth was overjoyed to be duly ac knowledfjed as Mrs. Joe Walker. The marriage proved a joyful one: and the original assertion of Danforth proved truthful in every respect. I ho cunning lover was a good son and a faithful husband and livedjmanya year to enjoy the happiness which tollowed upon his runaway match ; while the old man never cared to hear much about the details of tho elopement, for he saw how completely he had overshot the mark. - - - - ft Qu - FAMILIES KILLED ON GREEN RIVER. We have received from Puget Sound the following particulars concerning the Indian depredations, reaching to the 12th inst. Tin Indians have massacred several families at Green Iliver, consisting of Mr. King, wife and child, and Mr. Jones and wife. Mr. Jones' family, consisting of three children, were saved by the iuteiferoncc of a friendly Indian. Mr. Cooper, who was living with Mr. Jones, was also killed, and Mr. Brennan, wife and child, all of whom were badly cut and mangled, and then hove into a well, where they were found by their friends, and taken out and buried. Mr. Lake was shot at and wounded, but managed to escape, and alarmed the neighborhood, which caused many families to escape unharmed. The U. S. sloop-of-war Decatur had hauled in abreast of Seattle, and had spring cables out, expecting to be attacked every moment by the Indians. The Indians at Port Gamble had sent to Victoria to procure firearms. They there reported tLat the Indians had been in great numbers to procure firearms, and offered as high as 4G apiece, but noone sold them any, and therefore they left without any. Some twenty pieces were procured and sent to Port Gamble. The Indians repoited that a large steamer passed up the Sound on the 10th inst., which must have been the California. The inhabitants of Seattle were in great fear of an hourly attack from them. The U. S. revenue cutter Jefferson Davis was at Steilacoom, and would stiy there to protect the town. The Indians had designed to attack the Decatur at all hazards, and were assembling in great numbers, and much excitement prevailed. Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. Although we have heretofore given at considerable length, and several weeks in advance of their transmition to Congress, the tabled of the foreign trade t nd commerce of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30th, letfJi, we deem it not uninteresting to present the following abstract of the Secretary's report, now that it has appeared in regular course. The tablet f foreign trade show that the increase of dutiable goods imported during the year ending June 30 1855, over the year ending June 30 1854, is $12f,185,900;do.,of free goods $18,352f92G; decrease of specie and bullion, $411,430;ehowing a total increase of $144, 02t,39C, in favor of 1855. The increase last year over 1850 is given thud:Dutiable goods, $G5,746,GS8; of free goods, $18,348,934; decrease of specie and bullion, $908,980 total increase, $83,14 1,042. The foreign imports at all the ports of tho United States (including, of course, California and Oregon) for the fiscal year ending June 30 1855, wer $261,382,900, against $303,780,253, for the preceding year, showing a decline of $ 1 1,397,294. The total exports from the United States to the foreign ports for the fiscal year ending June 30,1855, were $275,15G.84G, against $278,241,093 for the preceeding bear, showing a decline of only $3,084,218. It will be seen from this that, while for the year 1854 the imports exceeded the exports $27,539,189, for thj last year the exports exceeded the imports $13,773,880. The tables further show an io crease, during the last ycar,of $10,102,804 in the imports of free goods but a falling off of $51 ,253,807 in dutiablemcr chandise, and $3,240,250 in specie. Of the total exports of specie for the last year, $53,957,418 were of domestic production, and $2,289,925 of foreign. The shipments of domestic produce, exclusive of specie, were $22,40G,309 less than for the preceding year, while there is an increase of $1,497,231 in the exports of foreign produce, and $12.505,510 In theciports of specie. The Secretary favors the admission, duty free, of wool as a raw material, together with chemicals, and dye-6tuffs, but no interference w ith the article of iron. The eastern manufacturer?, it is said,would be patisCcd with this.
