Joliet (III.) Demofiat ha. the following: 'We have made very general inquiry of j farmers relative to the injury that the protracted severe cold of the past winter has done to the fruit trees; and we have received but one answer. Apple trees, even the oldest, peach trees, &c, are nearly all destroyed. Not less than four fifths of the fruit trees in Wild county are killed outright, while the remainder are much injured. A few weeks will determine tho full extent of the injury done. TTi TWIft T Ktm Tnt IUI IUI 11 11 14 OUt The Anglo-Saxon, published at Boston, gives a nsrative with this title, that affords a singular illustration of the impolicy of the too early abandonment of hope respecting vessels at sea. The editor says the narattve is strictly true. It is sufficiently interesting in itself, whether it hare any bearing upon the case of the pacific or not, to be reproduced. We somewhat abridge it: The town in Liverpool, in Nova Scotia, situated about sixty miles from Halifax, is a place of some magnitude for a colonial outport. The intercourse with Halifax, the capital of the province, was at one time chiefly kept up by a smart and dashing little craft, called the Liverpool Packet, commanded by Captain BiS3, which plied weekly between the two places through the Spring and Summer months, laying up during the severity of Winter, when the communication with Halifax was, for the most part, limited to a weekly post by land. About the year 1815 or 1816, as the season for navigation was drawing to a close, a great number of passengers went to Halifax, as was the custom, to replenish the stores for the Winter, while many heads of families proceeded thither to make purchases of clothing, groceries, &C-, for their private winter stock; and as this was to be the last trip of the season, the little bark was crowded with some forty or fifty passengers, chiefly fathers and mothers of large families who were left at home. The voyage to Halifax was prosperous; the voyagers made their purchases, and m due time the Liverpool Packet was ready to ralurn. All the passengers em , 1 J l.t , i -III buktd in good ip.ms .nd h. M,k s, ed .,- a V 7 T i a . sprung up one ef those terrific North--. rrs. so well known on the coast of Nova Scotia, which, blowing with tha utmost fury to sTeii d), attended with intense frost, made it clear thit no vessel could keep the coast; she must either put herself before the wind and run nut to rea or perish by wreck nnd the rigor of an atmosphere twenty or thirty degrees below zero. A change of weather so sudden, so serere, and so unexpected, gave rise to great fears for the safety of the little Packet, and the next post by land was anxiously waited for by friends and relatives of both towns. The post at length arrived, but brought no tidings of the Liverpool packet; another post and another came, and yet no news of the missing vessel. Search was then made along the shore for any wreck of her, but not a Ttsiige could be discovered. Advices were in due time received from Bermuda, but nothing was heard of the little packet and her passengers. Accounts were also received from several of tha West India Islands, bat still without intelligence of the missiug vessel. Three months at length passed away, end the picket was given up for lost. Those who had friends on board weut into mourning, and so coanected were the different families with each other, throughout tho town, that the Sunday on which all who had frieuda put on black, saw nearly the entire population in the habiliments of woe. Four months passed away. All hope had fled; the vessel had, without doubt, floundered and gone to the bottom, with all on board, but when or in what part of the vast ocean, was to remain veiled in the secrets of the deep, until the sea should give up her dead. Sixteen weeks had now elapsed, when one fine morning in the spring, some seafaring people do ;vn at the fort descried a strange brig approaching the harbor. She attracted general attention from tha circumstance that although a stranger, she was navigated by one who well knew tha harbor, for sheet me in without a pilot or shortening sail. . The quick eye and watchful habits of-seamen could not lightly pass over such a circumstance, and the report of a sträng vessel coming in, soon spread through the town, and many persons assembled. The. best telescopes were put in requisition, but none could make out who or whatjthe stranger wac. As she drew nearer to the anxious group, her deck was discovered ,to be crowded with male and female passengers. Ah!' exclaimed one who had a certain indefinite hope, as that hope rank within him,' 'an emigrant ship, after all,' and a deep sigh came from his bosom, for he had a near and dear friend on board the little packet. i '- . rAn emigrant ship said another, 'how can any captain of an emigrant ship know so well his way into this harbor? Besides, emigrant ships do not come to Liverpool A pause ensued, during which one with a quick eye wis gazing through the Vet gl art the town afforded;1 hW was on

one knee, resting his telescope, when he suddenly prang on his fret and declared that Captain Bass was among the passengers! Nonsense!' was the incredulous cry; 'Captain Bass and the Liverpool Fackel are at the bottom of the sta, and will there remain till the day of resurrection. ' Njt daunted by their incredulity, he sad: '(Jive me the trumpet, I will speak

the brig; in a few moments sho will ' t be near enough.' Whnt Brig U that?' The response was given. Are you Captain BjsV Yes.' was the reply! A few words sufficed to reveal that the vessel had been blown off. and for J . h. mS htt,r ch xL West Indies than he could get back with so'small and so crowded a vessel. iTeing their provisions economically and slick ing their thirst with the cider and the barrels of ancles that were on board, thev reached Barbadoes. There the Captain i sold his sloop, bought the brig, and came back safe with nil his passengers! The joyful news fled through the tows, and ere the vessel could be brought to the wharf, the entire population of the place had assembled to meet and embrace their friends. It would be in vain to describe such a scene all were in mourning yet all with a smile of joy beaming in their countenantes. As the long lost friends and relatives leaped on shore, fathers, mothers and brothers were locked in each other's arms, and then the smiles became tears of joy. The tears had scarcely ceased, when with one sudden impulse the whole assembly sank on their knees, and in a burst of pious fervor, poured out thanks to that great and merciful Being wbo had so singularly preserved them and wbo holds us in the hollow of His hand. Terrible Disaster by tfcc burning of a Ferry-Boat. New Youk. March 17. About Sh o'clock on Saturday night, the Ferry Boat New Jersey, while cros sing the Delaware River from Philadelphia to Camden, caught fire in the middle of the stream. There being a great deal of floating ice in the river, much difficulty was experienced in managing the vessel, and she was finally run upon the bar opposite Arch street. It is impossible to give a list of the killed and missing, but the following is compiled from accounts that hive reached us. It accounts for 57 passengers, 33 escaped, 4 dead and missing, supposed to bo lost 23. The Captain and two mates say there were from 75 tp 100 on board; one passenger says about GO. anolhor 100 to 125; the Captain's statement is probably the most correct, and will make the list of the dead a fearful one indeed. Very many, no doubt, were killed by the paddle wheels, having jumped or been crowded into the water forward of the wheels while the boat was in motion. LATER iia 1 1 It 4 .

I pen you a few lines, hoping it will be no offense for me to take the liberty of communicating my feelings towards you. 1 must confess that I m smitten with your beautiful appearance and amiable disposition. My object in writing this is to ascertain whether or not you can afford to extend me your hand in wedlock. If it can be reconcilable to your feelings to comply with my proposals, I will be happy. If otherwise, I can only watt my unhappy fate. Dear Miss, remember now that my future all, yes, entirely all, rest in thy fair, yea, more than lovely hand. If iu consistence miih thy dignity, wield thy power with mercy towards thy devoted lover. But if it is otherwise decreed by God, may I yield submissively to my lonely and melancholy state.

The above is the copy of the letter, written to a young lady of wealthy parentage residing en Ninth street, in this city, by Marcellus F. Moore, the individual with Mormonish proclivities, whose flight from Louisville and arrest here was mentioned in Saturday's paper. He was brought before Judge Fruden on Saturday. The witnesses who appeard against him were John P, Davidson, Abraham Reed and Sarah Jane Reed, all of Louisville. From the testimony, the history of the case is this: Moore lived two or three years in Anderson county, Ky.K with a lady, cousin .to the witness, Mr. Davidson, who was recognized as. being his lawfully wedded wife,and who still is living there. ; From the home of -his first love Moore came to Louisville, and there was introduced,-. as a widower,' to Miss Sarah Jane Reed, an interesting young lady, now about nineteen years. old, to whom he was married on . the I2ihof January last. Immediately after their marriage they- took rooms in the Pearl street House, and there had passed the first half of that blessed portion of married life, the. honeymoon, when .the husband received intelligence that a trunk and. some money of his, in Mobile, was in danger of being lost, and required hia immediate attention.. Business could not be neglected with , impunity, so .he must force himself frörrt ' the side of his fair young wife; even thus soon after their nuptials, and. with a fond good-byehe left Louisville for Mobile, to. come to Cincinnati. .' After his' departuae, 'the wife heard that her 'predecessor, ,' M,rs. Moore:lhe First, was actually yet living, and that hers Was but a second claim upon the object of hsYVnoiee. "Deceived, sHe

determined to follow the man who had thus wontouly trifled with the sacred feelings of her heart, and have I im nr rested and punished. Conceiving that his reporting himself as bound to Mobile wns all a sham, she came to Aurora, and

learned that he had coino to this city. i She proceeded to follow him hither forthwith. He called on her, at her aunt's, on Ninth street, and obtained, by false 1 representation, an interview, in which! . ' . i he labored to persuade ner to go away with him, but in vain. With a tornmorrJab.e degree of decision, she remained firm to her purposes, and had him arrested. On tho day ot his arrest the above letter was found in his possession, and it on'y C8n be conjectured how successful this man, with either too much or too little heart, may havo been in his designs, had not justice overtaken him, nipping further matrimonial speculations iti the bud. Judge Prudcn committed him to jail, subject to the requisition of the Governor of Kentucky. Crime and lore in Ssutlicrn Kentucky. A correspondent of the Bowling Green j Standard furnishes the following inter' esting items! We will here insert some incidents coming under our observation, thus far during our itinerancy: First, then, Mr. Garvin, living some distance nbove Bearwollow, had his stable and four hors- J es, a large quantity of corn, tobacco, oat?, and hay, destroyed by the torch of an in cendiary. n few nights since. Also, on the night of the 7th instant, W. N. Hire had a stable containing six stage horses ; burned to the ground, presenting the sad J fcpectacle of six half-consumed skeletons chained to the stake. It was only by J great efforts that his commodious dwell- j ine was saved from the fiame6. Another ! gentleman (name forgotten) his had eight fine horses poisoned, all of which died in a few hours. A fourth, in the same neighborhood, had, a few nights since, the head of a fine horse cut off and stuck on a pole before his door by tha road-side. All this is the rvoik of incendiaries, whose cowardly, fiendish spirit, actuated, by baser motives than those of the Italian assassin, are prompted to the bloody work at the midnight hour. Early measures will be adopted to feret out the prpetrators. But the 'cap of the climax occurred in Munfordsville, on the 7th instant, to-wit: A d.iguerrea'n artist, with a lady not his wife, had been operating in the quiet town aforesaid the gentleman taking pictures, and the lady teaching music for some months. They had gotten music, instruments, and all the necessary et ceieras. and wero meeting with great sue cess Both hailed from the Yankee land. On Fiidny, the 7th, they were eented at the dinner table; eaifying the natives with the following wonderful dialogue. Mr. Penbroke (the gentleman's name) addressing his dear lady, said: 'There soems, my dear, to be some prejudice in Kentucky against us Yankees. Oh yes.' she replied, bul you and I will leave no grounds for prejudice we'll oear ourselves and' Mr. Tenbroke. allow me to introduce you to the sheriff of Nelson county,' said a hoarse voice behind him. The sheriff then, upon o wrrnt. proceeded to handcuff the aforesaid Penbroke and lady. The facts ate these: Penbroke had living in the east a wife and one child; the lady had living in New York a husband and two children. But Cupid being stronger than law or duty, they eloped to the 'Far Vest to live s husband and wife. The man who introduced the sheriff was the lady's father, who, immediately on seeing his daughter, fainted. He re sides in New York, is a man of great wealth, and has lavished vast sums upon his only daughter, whom he tenderly loved. He had followed them 1700 miles when he found them. She .is yourg, beautiful, and accomplished, and married well. Here, indeed, was a 'bankruptcy of the heart.' The guilty pair was placed in a vehicle in company with the wretched father, and are now 'gone east.' Painful Accident. Our former towns man, Mark Whinery, Esq., met with a serious accident at Toledo on Friday last. He stood between two freight cars loaded with lumber for the purpose of coupling them together, and as one of the cars backed down to the other he was caught between them, the lumber projecting ba yond the ends, causing a slight fracture of the ribs and a severe contusion of the chest. We learn from Dr. Humphreys, who returned from Toledo on Monday from a visit to Mr. Whinery, that he is getting along fine and hopea are enter tained that he will entirely recover fcomj the effects of the accident. South Bend Register. Farther lcronot of the Wreck of the Ship John Rutledsc. New York, March 21. Capt. Wood, of the 6hip Germania, arrived at this port yesterday, from Havre, and furnishes the following account of the sinking of the ship John Rutledge by running into an iceberg and the rescue, of one only, of the ship's company - . , r Qn the 2Sth ult., the Germania ob'serTr ed a ship's boat ahead and dispatched a boat in quest of , it.' ,IJpor approaching the 6t:ange boat it was found to contain alive, Thoraas W- Nye.' of New Bedford,! tho only, survivor of thirteen persons, the remainder .having peiiihed of starvation and coldly t .' ., .

She steered to the westward, nnd probably felt iu with the boats of the J. R. The J. R. belonged to Messrs. Howland and Ridgeway, of this city, and had about 150 passengers.

Tlic Last Trail of the Red Man. Strange emotions of sorrow and ply take possession of us, as we read the ac counts of the new Indian wars which havo sprung up in Oregon the last 6top ping-place of the Red Man on his sullen retreat to the Pacific the last fierce struggles of a doomed and dying race. Y a few years, and the Red Man of North America, once, undisputed lord and baron of the whole continent, from tho St. Lawrence to the Atlantic and Pacific, will have disappeered forever. A raco of men. occupying for unknown generations and centuries, and still possessing no memorials of their existence, save childish and feeble traditions, will have passed away forever, leaving no native trace of their existence, and being known to posterity only through the imaginative personations of Cooper, the truthful records of Flint, and the graphic penciling of Cntlin. History scarcely offers anything more melancholy than this rap id and complete extermination of the Indian race in North America. Of course, the passing sympathy which we pause to expend upon the inevitable fate of the Red Man. does not lessen our interest in the misfortunes of the white sealers who have thus mhde themselves the pioneers of civilization, and are subjected to nil the horrors of savage kont , , ier warfare. We unite with the journals nnd correspondent from Oregon, in urging upon tho general Government the necessity of prompt and energetic action, in protecting the lives and property of our fellow-citizens on th& far western frontiers of our gigantic empire. The Paris correspondent of tho London News writes: The following extraordinary story, told by the Siecle. 1 should havo at once rejected as a discreditable canard, were it not that a name and address is given. As It is, I ftaTc th- tr.. . possibility of the fearful fact recounted: "The Rue du Faubourg da Temple has been thrown in great excitement by an event of the most extraordinary kind. At noon yesterday, at the moment when the corpse of. a woman named Aigneul, who had died at No. G5 in the street, was being removed for interment drops of blood were seen to ooze out from the coffin. The undertaker ordered the bearers to stop, and on the coffin being opened, cries were heard to issue from the bloody 6hroud with which the body was enveloped. The spectator of this appaling scene were deeply moved. But what was their astonishment, when on the grave clothes being torn, they saw that tho defutict had given birth to a child of the male sex. The child, perfectly well formed, was living. It was immediately consigned to the care of a nurse, and tha interment of the mother was postponed for twenty-four hour. MaaiB S Slaf - -CtlJM Brine a Poisoar. Mr. Reynal, of the Veterinary School, at Ayort, France, communicated to the Imperial Academy of Medicine, in May last, the results of investigations upon the poisonous propensities acquired by brine, after a considerable length of time, in which pork or other meats had been salted or pickled. Although the nature of the poison is involved in considerable obscurity, its existence is clearly demonstrated. The poisonous propensities are acquired in two or three months after the preparation of the brine, nnd its usa then, mixed with food for any length of time, even although in small quantities, may produce death. A simple solution of salt and water, after tho same length of time does not produce the same effect. The poison acts as a local irritant, exciting violent intestinal congestion and inflammation. It likewise increases . the secretion of the i skin and kidneys, and exerts a direct ef fect upon the nervous system, giving rise to trembling, loss of sensation, convulsions, ice. As brine is sometimes used a second lime for pickling and for other purposes, these facts should be remembered. ' Mcrdeb or as Editor. The Kosciusko' (Miss.)

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA! THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. New York Mnrch 28. The steamship Cunada, which left Liverpool on the 15th iust., arrived at Halifax at seven o'clock this evening.

Mr. Dallas, on arriving at Liverpool, proceeded immediately to the Adelpha Hotel, where a deputation of the American Chamber of Commerce presented him a congratulatory address. No excitement exists regarding American n flairs. Nothing definite had transpired respecting the doings of the Peace Congress. All accounts, however, Bgree in almost certainty of peace, and advices fro'n Germany and Russia bear the same tone. It was generally rumored that the treaty of peace would be signed on Salurdy: all difficulties were, however, not yet adjusted. Several important points respecting the Principalities and the Asiatic frontier will be loft as utidecided as when the Congress first met. It is rumored that the ratification of the treaty and adjustment of uinrranged difficulties is to be referred to Commis sioners on the spot. Sin nl in in v ill , h rpmpnil ; ihis J commission.

The officers of St. Joseph county, Michigan, have succeeded in making important arrests of several of a ging ol counterfeiters. The Adrian Watch Tower gives the particulars substantially cs follows: A man named John McDcugll, of notoriously bid roputaiion, ran away from Chatham, C. W., some time ago, and settled on Slurgis Prairie. A short time since, a rascal named Mallett, escaped from Chatham, for whom the sheriff of Kent county offered 61,200 reward. The sheriff of Kent county hearing of the whereabouts of McDougn.ll, and remembering the addage of "birds of a feather," etc., came to Sturgis, a few days since, and, accompanied, by the officers of St. Joseph county, weut to McD.'s house and commenced a search for Mallett. In one of the upper room3 they found rt press and 15,000 in five dollar roun. terfeits on the Westminster Bank, Rhode Island. They immediately secured McDoogall, who implicated Wm. H. Latta and his son, N. B. Latta, and Finch. Latta and son were arrested, but Finch eluded the officors, and escaped with the dies and plates. Latta is held to bail in the sum of 84,000. McDougnll is in jail. The Chicago Times presumes that the N. B. Latta, who thus obtains an unenviable notoriety, is the same personage who was arrested, about a year ago, in that city, and upon whom was then found a large number of counterfeit notes of the Unadilla Brink. He managed to-escape justice. The Littas, father and son, are reputed as beir.g connected with one of the most extensive gangs of counterfeiters in the west. Another Murderous Affray.
