THE Montreal News says a young lady while toboganing in that city broke her leg. Whereupon the editor of the Cleveland Herald inquire "what's toboganing? We would like to know so as to caution our young ladies—who have legs, if any such there be—to be exceedingly cautious when toboganing."

THE Dublin Evening Mail says that the Iiev. J. C. M'AUSLAND, rector of Cronmorc, near Drogheda, has received notice from Mr. GEORGE PEABODY'S executors, that that gentlemen has bequeathed him $10,000, in consideration of the pleasure received from the perusal of his treatise on "The Hope of Israel."

THE New York 2'riiune thinks the Governor of Virginia honors himself and justifies' those who elected him, by the high and manly tone which he assumes toward his 'colored constituents. That the man who talks as he did to the Richmond negroes on New-Year's Day was clected by so large a majority, is among the hopeful feigns for the Old Dominion,.

IT is understood that the movement to raise a fund of $100,000 for the benefit of the family of the late Secretary STASTON is progressing very favorably, and that a large amount hasalready been subscribed. It is reported that Senator CHANDLER has subscribed $5,000, and that other gen-le-men eminent in political life have given equally large amounts.

IT IS reported that 2,029,272,255 feet of lumber were cut in Michigan during 1869, and that there are 4,000,000 acres still to cut, which will yield 15,000,000,000 feet. According to this, the quantity left will not last more than six years, allowing a moderate increase in the annual slashing. The value of the lumber and shingles of that State during the past year is put at $34,000,000. ———<>———

The Democratic Convention. We devote much space this morning our report of the Democratic State Convention. It will be read, with eagerness, by the public as a matter of news. The materiel of the Convention was good, for materiel of tb6 u)nT€niioii( wis gwu, iur.

The ticket is not a startling one in any respect and does not do justice to the talent which composed the Convention. Some of the candidates are good selections and others indifferent, but if they suit the Democracy nobody else has special reason to complain.

The platform is not long, and fails, in that respect to give evidence of the ready pen-~of the great_ nf the Wa•ash but, whilenot long, it contain* a JOWl" many glittering generalises and some ingenious catches. Its chief hold, as is usual in Democratic Platform-', is in its negations. It denies everything that Republicans assert and sets up no positive principle to advocate. It is artfully constructed, of course, and can be read up one way, down another, and across a third, to suit various locali-ies or predjudiccs. It is against reconstruction, against interference with the Supreme Court, against a tariff except for revenue only,against paying all the public debt, erce/rfaccording to contract, against national banks, against the fifteenth amendment, against legislation "on moral ideas, appetites and innocent amusements"—whatever they may be—against a change in present naturalization laws. The only positive portion of the platform is declaration in favor of increasing the volume of national currency taxing the stock of National Banks for certain purposes and the bonds of the United States. The main points of the platform are, opposition to"the Fifteenth Amendment, to the pre-ent financial system and tariff, and the cry for taxation of the national bonds. These issues are not new. People have heard of them before and

THE eastern press accuse Governor HOFFMAN of New York of plagiarism in adopting the ide* and language of Senator MORTON, on the the subject of the finances, in his recent meosage to the New York Legislature. MOBTON is a pretty safe leader in public matters and it would be well for the country if his ideas were adopted and followed by other Democrats than HOFFMAN.

CONGRESS will be inundated with petitions for the abolition of the "Franking Privilege." The people are signing these petitions with unparalleled alacrity and an approximation to unanimity. Such Congressmen as desire the approval of their constituents will do well to heed the poplar demand. ———<>———

There or County Convention. After nomina* was comparatively little wrangling and quarrelling, no long winded speeches and a good deal of apparent unanimity and general satisfaction. The latter feature was remarkable, in view of the fact that there had been a strong skirmish between the old "8ons of Liberty" wing of the party and the more youthful and progressive portion known as "War Democrats" as to which should have the mastery in the Convention and should impress its view* upon the proceedings. There was a local trouble too, in the party, in Marion county, which had to be accommodated, and the old HENDRICKS and PENDLETON feud had to be carefully manipulated and kept in the background. It was apparent to any looker on that the Convention contained within itf-elf a collection of combustible elements that required to be handled with great adroitness to prevent explosion. The foxy leaders of the party deserve credit for their crafty management. The Knights of the Golden Circle had to give way, with the best possible grace, and suffer the young Democracy to select their acting and temporary Presidents, and to make unusual recognition of the war element, in the construction of the committees, and among the sub-officers of the Convention. This was hard on many of the old partv fossils, but they had to consent that this tub should be cast to the whale in order that things might go no worse. It must have -een a bitter pill to Messrs. MILLIGAN, HENDRICKS, YOORIIEES, MCDONALD, and the balance of that ilk to see the Convention presided over by men who lrid such war record as Generals MANSON and Si..vex, and to see others mingling in its deliberations who, once so far forgot the teachings of modern Democracy, as to make war on Southerif rebels. But so it was. All dissensions in the party were fought out, during the two or three days preceding the Convention, in the county and District cadcnsses, at the hotels, and kept irom ihe floor of the Convention.

columns for what they are worth We do not propose to make any fight for any person before his nomination by a State

tion we are for the nominee.' There are no good reasons why there shoold be controversy and strife over individuals before nomination, which only tend* to weaken the strength of the party nominated. We have seen enough of this thing sn both the political partis, daring the past fewyearw. Candidates may jnst as well possess themselves with patience and behave themselves before nomination as not. The strifes and bickering* and backbit^ ings of candidates before nomination are always felt in the gubseque&t canvass. We therefore submit to oar Republican friends that it is just as well to keep cool and modestly present their claims before the pr per nominating conven'ion, in the first instance, and not expect the press of their locality,

to

get up a warfare in their

favor. This thing of committing the organ of the party, in ariy locality, for a single person, when there are twenty just as good as he, and perhaps three or four much" more available, is all nonsense. We bave hitherto acted on the principle ,of advocating no Special favorites for nominations but supporting the-

of our party when put in the race, and expect to adhere to thU rule. A w,9rd,tp the wise is sufficient. 'nr. "CHANCE," remarks the editor of the Indianapolis News, "sometimes places men and even newspapers in a very unenviable position." As illustration" of this fact, the New.i mentions two events in the history of two prominent journals, the Albany Argus and the New York World. The Argu* published on the day that SILAS WRIGHT died, just in time to reach the public with the fad news, which of course was unknown when the article.,was

Free-Soil sta:esman. JOHN VAIFSBTUFIK1 made the unfortunate coincidence1^nail' that clenched upon the Argu* the raiOSf. terrific denunciation ever heard. "The blow," said he "aimed at a living statesman, fell on his new made grave, and by an inscrutable dispensation of Providence the a-^av-in was converted into a hyena."

The World has been placed in very much the same fix and if it has not entitled itself to the same denunciation it is because there is more charity for chance blunders now than there used to be. But a day before Mr. STANTON'S death it spoke of him in Jus wky: "And this bloa ed blackguard, this brutal minister and recreant lawyer, whose only eminence lias been won by overriding hc laws of ihe land and making his ovn headlong will stand for reason, is nov .e. to administer those laws upon the bench which has been the pride of the American bar. in all its annals, it has never been (lolluted before by the mem-ber.-liip a of bully, a liar, a slanderer, or a shedderof innoceni blood."

The edi.or. of the-Aein is one of the oldest and ablest journalists in the conntryt gen.leman whose opinion upon the ethics of his profession is entitled to much consideration, and we are glad to record his empha ic declaration that "such language about any eminent man, living or dead, is a shame to its utterer, and a disgrace to those who tolerate it. Mr. SI'ANTON was a great man, though not a faultless man, and he rendered the country great ,-ervices, if the subjugation of the rebellion was necessary or desirable, tho tgh his services were not unmixed wi evil and such a man is not a 'bloated blackguard,' 'brute,' 'bully,' 'liar,' or 'slanderer.' A blackguard and bully is an object of contempt, not of such implacable hate, pretty well colored with fear, as the rebels and their friends felt for Mr STANTON." '^1

Hetty, resumed: "I can't get a very good dinner I aint quite old enough, but Ben says I dp nicely. He puts it on for me, and I see to it. But he does not allow me to take off kettles, tor fear I will burn or scald' myself but I think I am large enough to do that.

I can't make biscuit—I wish I coteld, for Ben likes them ever so much but Martha who comes in to make bread for ns says she will teach me." "Where is your mother?" asked Millie of the little Eve, when Hetty^ was out of the room. "We is got no mudder but Ben," the litle one lisped.

will be glad.

Hetty was delighted. Ben will be glad, flight she look on and learn how? Millie was young, and frank, and gay, and she and the children soon became very well acquainted over the biscuit. She said presently, trying a potato with a fork— "The potatoes are done, I wiU pour the water off so, and then put them on again to dry. That will make them mealy. In a few minutes we will peel them and then dinner will be all ready except taking it up."

The dinner seemed very meager lit le Hetty as she ran over the items in her mind—potatoes, peas* pork, biscuit, butter, cucumbers, milk, and water. She had wanted to inake:tea for her visitor, but she declined decidedly. The poor child said apologetically. "When father and mother were alive, we used to have a good many things for dinner, and Martha our hired girl, used to get them all but when they died, and 'Squire Johns said he bought a mortgage tour farm, and that we had got to ray every cent the dav it was due, or lose everything, we had to do without a good many thingsand we are very poor now, and Ben is afraid we cant have enough to pay it and they all say we may loOk ior ao mercy from Squire Johns, for he is Very hard to the poor, and he has always wanted obr farm, because it joinssome of his-own land where he wants to build.- I heard all about it when one of the neighbors was talking with our Ben, though he didn't want me to know about it."

Millie had listened to this with a curious mixture of feelings, for 'Squire Johns was a declared lover of hers, and though she had not yet accepted him, she had been'pleased with his attentions and had certainly given him encouragement-.— Moreover he was to receive his final answer in three days from that time, and she was not sure the answer reserved and laid away for that time was "no." True, Millie was not in love with him, but she had State of feeling she had readand heard waited so long in vain for that ecstatic so much about, thought she was not capable of love, and that to like any one was as much as she could expect.. But she certainly liked 'Squire Johns as well if not better than any one, and his love mustcertainly be disinterested,for hecould not know that—but- now Millie stopped. Could he not? Mi^ht he not have found out some Way? If this story was true,would such a man be likely to marry a poor jirl? For Millie Warner was really an leiress in a small way. She was sole inr, heritor of a small, unincumbered farm from her father, and five thousand dollars in bank stock. But the farm was two hundred miles south of this town, where she was visiting a cousin, and nobody knew of it and during her visit she had helped her cousin in her work as she had always helped her mo hcr when she was at home—capable, industrious little girl that she was.

The story agreed with things that she had heard hinted at, but- only hinted at, and even they the next morning were smoothed over, for'Squire Johns was a rich and influential man, and people could not afford, without some reason, to lose his favor. 8he remembered it all now. Could he in reality be such a scoundrel?

She could judge better alxnt the truth of the sterv when she had seen Ben. Who was Ben?" Two or three inquiries had amounted to nothing. The children spoke just as if everybody must know who Ben was. Was he an uncle, cousin, hired man, or what? Evidently somebody very old, by the way Hetty spoke of him. But she shrugged her shoulders as she looked out at the still pouring rain.

Young Ben Ilazel, out in the field, ^.tched up the last hay on the load, leaned his pitchfork against- a tree, and took off his straw hat to cool his moist forehead. His gaze followed the haycart, went over the broad lands and returned.

He ssopped in surprise, aa he saw through the window some one was standing at the' table with arms bare to the elbow, mixing flour. It must be Martha.

No tho*® fair, white arms are not Martha's, neither hers the slender, graceful figure!. As he came nearer he could distinguish the sparkling, piquant face. She was laughing ami talking with Hetty: and evidently giving her directions tor what she was making. Hetty was gazing upon her, eager and absorbed.' Little Eva was sitting at the table in her high chair working apiece of dongh.

By and bv there was a spattering of water heard in the next room bv Hetty. "Hen has come'" running hastily lorward and opening the door. "Ben has turn! echoed the little one, clapping her hands and lisping as he came in, bright ami smiling, what she had in store for him. "3 is made a tate for ou. I is."

He caught her up in his arms and gave her a kiss, while she laughed and shouted, bnt his eyes were seeking the stranger.

Hetty said, prettily "My brother Ben." Then to him: "This lady got caught in the shower, Ben, and is Haying till it clean un. She has been so kind as to help me get oinner and has made some splendid biscuit."

when there was loud r* the' street Hetty ftit to the aid whispered to Ben—'^Squire

rokns." Millie drew quickly back from the half opejn door. Ben went in to the visitor, closing the deer after him, but every word was distinctly heard by Millie, for Squire Johns did not apeak in the suav,e tone she wa« accustomed to hear him, but loud and peremptorily. -:"I amin haste, voimg man I just stopped to say that the time for the payment of the money due me being day, after tomorrow, if it is not ready I shall be obliged immediately to resort to severe measures." "Impossible!" exclaimed jthe young man in a surprised and excitedtone! "you are' very much mistaken. It is 'not due till the*28th, it is now but the 18th. At that time I shall sell the piece of land

"You are laboring under. a singular mistake, young. Here is your mortgage, it is th« that you can see for vourself 18th." "Let me see it*''

The .figures danced upon the page. He pressed his hands over his eyes ana calmed himself with a great effort He grew ashy pale as he read. ''It reads so, certainly, but I can't understand it." He went to the desk,— "Here's a memorandum my father made of the circumstances, and it is the 28th and he was a very sure methodical man, and would notbe likely to make a mis

... ing umph in Squire John's eye, "I believe there's some villainy about this matter, and that yoft are at the bottom of it," he exclaimed excitediy, fixing his eye firmly upon the 'lawyer, who changed color in ^pite'of 'hims«5f. "Be careful What you

!say,

young man,

as you may get yourself into trouble,", he said angrily "Yes, sir, I believe you area base villain! I remember that you are the lawyer who made out the mortgage at the time, and I know that for years you have been aching to get hold of this property. If there is any justice in law, you shall be exposed F' "In the meantime you had better have ._etapney ready," coolv and insultingly replied Mr. Johns." "That is impossible you know. You knew very well that I could not raise BO much money in two days when you laid yonr diabolical plans." "Then you know the consequences." "And what is to become of my young sister:" *'I neither know nor care. That is your lookout."

The young man strove to repress his passion. "Squire Johns, by the 28th I cah pay this debt, I expect." "That will do you no good. It must be' ready by day after to-morrow, or I take ffosSesfcion^ 1 might have shown you mercy but for your insinuations. Now none." "That Ls false 1 liar! villian 1 and you know it. You never shov. ed mercy in your life. Yoa have won your ill-gotten wealth by robbing the widow and the fatherless. If you take this prope ty, may it bring you'a curse with it, n,w aud evermore! Rut while it" is in my Lands I'll kick you from it. vou dastardly scoundrel!"

The Squire was asmall man as wellas a coward, and while he was being ignomintously ejected from the house bv the angry ahdjexcited young man, Hetty was crouched down close to Millie, pale and frightened. Eva was sobbing in her lap, and Millie—it' was difficult to describe her feelings.

Ben did not come into the room for some time afterwards., When he did he looked haggard and aged, and was passing through hastily, as if to escape notice when Millie, business-like and straightforward little-girl, that she .was, began: "Mr. Hazel, I want to talk with you a few minuted. There would be no use in pretending that I haven't heard what you and Squire Johns have been saying, for I hivfe heard every Word. I think I know of some one who can help you but first may I ask you a few questions?"

Ben at first looked displeased and haughty but her kind and straightforward manner disarmed him. He bowed assent "What is the amount of this mortgage?" "Two thousand dollars and interest,' was the brief reply. "What is the total value of the farm?" "My father valued it at ten thousaand dollars." ta$ "Are there other mortgages? "None." "Very well I am quite positive, I know .some one who can loan you the money. 1 am Millie Warner. Call on me to morrow at my cousin's, Mr. Sandford's.

THE. Lafayette Courier gives the fol lowing particulars relative to. an impor tant arrest in that city

A shoemaker named McWilliams, aliat Charles Scott, was arretted in this city yesterday afternoon.

t"'^he

The Lafayette Journal of yesterday gives some additional items concerning tho murder for which McWilliams, alias Scott, was arrested, which may be of interest. They expected to reap a rich reward, but Hertzler had a safe with a combination lock, and they could not get to the treasure so they hitched up the murdered man's horse in his buggy and drove away. All three were arrested, had a preliminary examination and were fully committed, but escaped through the connivance and with the aid of a woman on the outside. McWilliams appears to have been "on the go" ever since he escaped from the Springfield jail. The detective who arrested him had been following him for the last two years.—r..„,

arrest wis

made by Frank Howe, he well known detective of Michigan City. He had tele* graphedto Sheriff Smith to meet him at Battle Ground, where he had expected to find his man, but on his arrival there he found that McWilliams had left for Lafayette. The detective came immediately to this city, and was met at the train by the Sheriff. Plans Were immediately laid-for the- arrest-. McWilliams had a job at Fallev & Co.'s factory, but was not at. work. The officers were compelled to depend upon a chance meeting for his arrest. A gentleman from Michigan Citv, who knew McWilliams personally, accompanied the detective, tuad walking down Main street, who should he meet but the very man he was after. The recognition was mutual. They took a drink together, and walking out they met the detective, who at once took McWilliams under arrest and conducted him to jail. The prisoner was very much agitated. Inquiry' into the circumstances of the case and the crime with which the. accused is charged, developes the following facts A year or more since a wealthy farmer named Hertzler, residing near Springfield, Ohio, was murdered for his money. He was killed with a shot gun. A man named Charlie Scott, who is supposed to be the prisoner, was arrested, together with an accomplice. The two were lodged in jail, but on the morning of May 11, broke out, and have since been at large. This man went to Pokagan, Michigan, where he worked for awhile at his trade and then setnp a little shop of his own. One night at his boarding house he was heard to mutter something about, a "murder" in his sleep. When questioned about it he exhibited So much confusion that an inquiry was instituted into his antecedents. An I annonymous letter was sent him to this effect: "Your connection with that murder is well-known and you had better light' oiit suddenly," signed—"a friend." The day after the receipt of this note he left town, telling his. loy in the: shop that he was going East to buy stock. He took the east bound train to the first station, where he got out and waiting for the west bound tram, got on and was never seen in Pokagan again. This was a month or two ago". He waft followed to Fairbury, Ills., where he lias relatives, thenee- to Battle-Ground, and from BattleGround to Lafayette. He was confined in our county jail last night in the expectation that possibly he might be identic fied as the murderer of Corwin, the Valley road conductor. There are some circumstances connected with his history pointing in that direction, but the brother of CorWin, when brought into his presence this morning, promptly declared that he did not know the man.

The (iovenwr of Ohio Recommends rSeparntioa and Reclamation.

Governor Hayes in his annual message to ihe Legislature of Oliio, says in regard '.o the reformation of convicts:

A large proportion (if the convicts, when admitted,-are quite young. The age ol about one third does not exceed twenty-one years. More than two-thirds of the inmates of the prison are now under thirty years of age. It will occur to any one \Vho considers these facts that, under our system of prison discipline, too little effort has heretofore been made to reform thc.se voung men. A high authority has said, "No human being is so debased'and wicked that he can not be reclaimed." It is believed that under a wise system, the young, at least, can be reformed and prepared for useful and worthy citizenship. The present system has two capital defects—the mingling in intimate association of the young with the hardened criminals, and the failure to educate the convicts in habits of thrift and self-con-trol. The defects are in the system.

The convict, when he leaves the penitentiary, is exposed to greater temptations than ever before, and the result of hi.s prison life is that he has less power to resist evil influences, and, too often,

less

disposition to resist -them. I do not enlarge upon the objections to the present svstein it is not claimed to be reformatory. iu a recent report, the directors said: "'The great mass of convicts still leave he penitentiary apparently as hardened, and as dangerous to the State, as they were when they were sentenced."The vital question Is, how to remove this reproach on our penal legislation. In considering it, 1 commend to you the remarks of the Board of Sttf.e Charities on the Irish convict system. The distinguishing merit of that system is that "it enlists the co-operation of the prisoner in his own amendment, without withholding from him the punishment due to his crime."

If the adaption of that system, with such modifications as our condition requires, is deemed an experiment which it is expedient for the State to try, until its advantages are better understood, I submit that the least that ought now to be attempted is to provide for a classification of convicts, so as to render separate beginners in crime from hardened offenders. Whether this can best be done, by alterations and an extension of the present penitentiary, or by the erection of a new one, is for your wisdom to determine

In several other States voluntary associations have been formed to provide for, encourage and furnish employment to discharged convicts, and their efforts have been of incalculable benefit to this unfortunate class. If a similar association should be formed by the benevolent citizens of Ohio, they "will reasonably expect to receive proper assistance from the General Assembly, and in that expectation I trust they "will not be disappointed.

Legend of Starve Hollow, Jackson Connty, Indiana! .(, #i®' sp

BY HENRY M. BEADLE.JJ RTF]

Fxoiu the Indianapolis Mirror.] In the first settlement of the county, before the war of '12, there lived in the hollow a man of thev name of Stewart.— He? had little intercourse with the other settlers, and instead of elearing ground and depending on agriculture for a maintenance subsisted chiefly by hunting. A small patch of ground about the hut he lived in, was cleared, but was cultivated by the wife and daughter, and after the death of the mother, by the daughter alone, who had grown to be a fair, comelv maiden.

Stewart built his hut in the hollow be—tube he loved solitude, and wished to avoid, as much as possible, the society of his! fellows. He was a tall, well made man, with great strength and endurance, which distinguished him even in those days. Frequently he would go on a huntiugiexcursion, and remain away days at a timis,' leaving his daughter alone at home. She! did not seem to take such treatment ill, for she was as brave as her father, and his equal almost in strength and endurance. Stewart was much attached to his daughter, and ahe to him. To others he was rough and uncouth, to her alwavs kind and gentle and-he left her alone at home from habit and not neglect. Nor need he have apprehended any danger. He had often left her and her mother at home together, and nothing had ever happenCd them. The Indians were at peace,

What had she ito fear? As for herself, she had been used to such a life, and though often ionelv after her mother's death, when grief wore off, she pursued the same old life, unconscious of danger and perfectly self-reliant. She would have laughed at anyjone who would have suggested thU he was in danger.

Thus time hurried on. Summer and winter, after her mother's death, came and Went away, and .summer came again. Heri scanty crop was laid by, and work wa., dull with her, though her father ma

was happy and contented. Her fa-

therj however, was soon called away, to act as guide to a surveying party, and was likely to be gone a month, an, unusual long1 stay. She felt very sad, at the thought of parting with him for so long a time. Was it presentiment that they should never meet again?

A few days passed and her gloom vanished, for she was a light-hearied, happy girl,land sad indeed must "have been the disaster that would have crushed her spirits, so buoyant and free.

The summer passed away. The green leaf changed to the sere and yellow, except: where the frost had reddened the gum and maple, making them lovelier than when gentle spring first breathed upon them, and crowning them with glory, as-the remembrance of a well spent life adds lustre to declining years. But her father carac. not. She was now anxious! for him, but not for herself. She kneifr not what danger impended over her and I her. fathers-could he have known, swifter than flying deer would he have hurried to save her.

One evening as she was driving home the cows, a man stood in the path ahead of her. Meeting a man alone was an unusual occurrence, and she felt uneasy. She had never seen a man in the hollow before, unless aacompanied by her father. His appearance was not prepossessing, and though brave, it required all her resolution to face him. He was clad in buckskin breeches and hunting-shirt, the usual dress of the backwoodsmen, and a heavy rifle lay across his shoulders. His countenance was indicative of a brutal disposition, and she thought his eyes gleamed with malignant satisfaction when they met hers. He asked the way to the fort. She told him in as few words as possible, and hurried home, glad to be fld of the disagreeable stranger.

Having milked the cows and strained the milk away, she returned to the door, and was struck with terror to see the man she had just met in the woods, accompapiedl by another, coming directly towards the house. Without considering what was best to be done, she shut the door and barred it, being determined that they should not enter the hut if she could-help it, for she instinctively felt that they intended to harm her. Hardly had she secured the door, when she heard them crossing the fence, and in a few moments more, their knock was heard. She refused them'admittance. After exhausting every art they possessed, telling her, among other things, that they bore word from her father, the one whom she had seen onlv at a distance, said: "It's no use parleying longer let's break down the door." Unfortunately there was 110 port holes left in the house' when it was built, which would have enabled her to have killed her assailants without danger to herself. She was determined, however, to defend herself to the last. Seizing her rifle, she fired as soon as the first blow fell npon the door, mortally wounding the one who had proposed to break it down. Without hesitating a moment she proceeded to reload, but before she could get the gun loaded and primed, (they had no percussion locks at that time,) the door was broken down, and the wounded man, before he could be prevented by the other, fired ifpon her, the ball pacing through her'lungs, and she fell insensible.

she remained so she knew not. It had been belter had she never wakened. So intent was the remaining villain 011 gratifying'the base passion which prompted the attack that he strove to revive her, and succeeded. By her tears, her helplessness, by her wound, and with feeble voice, she be'ought him to spare her—to leave her and let her die alone but he would not. They had come he said, to bear her away, and would have captured her in the wood*, had they been together when she was driving home the cows. They did not anticipate such resistance at the house, and his confederate had shot her in revenge for his own wound. He affected to believe that she was not hurt as badly as she seemed and there, fearing neither God nor man, regarding neither her virtue nor her helplessness, robbed her of that which she valued more than her life, and then hastened away.

All that dreary nigh*, maddened with pain and thirst and fever, unable even to turn, she lay where the villain had left her. Fortunately, she became delirious, and, after a few hours, could not feel the pains that were destroying her life.

affecting was hi* grief that tears ran upon every cheek. At first, he could not believe her dead, and he said so earnestly and with a voice so full of sorrow, that it was heart-rending to hear, "My Marv my own dear daughter, I have come back loyou. I will never leave you again 1 Speak to me, my darling open your eyes, and speak to me. It is your father who has come"—and he would pat her check and stroke her glossy hair. But the eyes which had always looked so lovingly upon him would not open the Yoice whose tones had alwavs been music in his ear would not speak the hands that had often so lovingly clasped his neck, -would not unfold, and the lips that had always met with such fervent love, were pale and bloodless. By degrees he began to comprehend that she was dead, but he still sat beside her, speaking not a word, and gazing so steadfastly on the white face, still lovely to him, though sfghastly and so cold, as if he expected a sign of recog-

nition. The agony of his grief somewhat subsided, and he asked in a voice so calm that it sounded unheathly, the particulars of her death. Not a word escaped him at the recital not a word when the horrible tale-was finished not a threat was made. All the circumstances seemed to be impressed upon his memory as with a hot iron. After a protracted pause, noone desiring to disturb the current of his thoughts, he requested them to prepare to have the corpse buried as soon as possible. His calmness was now as terrible as his grief had been affecting.

In the morning he marked the spot for the grave, on a

Stewart was never seen in the country again, and years afterwards it was rumored that he lost his life in one of the battles of the war of '12.

Such is the story told me not long since by an old settler of Jackson county, after I had inquired why such a beautiful valley, dotted with cottages of German settlers, and teeming with abundance, could have gotten such an inappropriate name. This name, given by the early settlers, clings to it still, and will cling to it forever while our civilization lasts.

In a day or two I passed through the valley again, coming out by the way of Baughman's famous peach orchard. But I saw not its lovliness as it had struck me a few days before. I walked through the forests of seventy years ago the murder of the daughter and grief of the father were before my eyes, and I saw staring at me from the hunter's cabin, the desparing face of the starving man, and by his side the hard and unrelenting features of the injured father. Yet how changed was the valley since that terrible crime and more terrible retribution. Then it was all an unbroken forest now it is a fruitful valley, titled by men who long after the events narrated, came over the ocean that they might enjoy the liberty refused to them 111 their own native country, they have "made the wilderness to blossom as the rose," and are blessed with comforts they could not have under the tyranny of their own land. Having climed the hill, a good prospect of the hollow was before me. The valley, from this point, was more beautiful than ever. But mv mind still dwelt on the story I had heard, and I could not help thinking that, in view of the troubles in the county during the past two years, the spirit both of the murderer and the avenger, still lived among the people of the untv.

knoll which could

be' plainly seen from the door of the hut. Some wondered why he buried her there where no one was buried and no one else likely to be but he said nothing. When the grave was finished, and the body lowered into it, a short hymn was sung and' a prayer offered, then the grave on the knoll was filled, but one was left in the wretched father's heart which would remain there forever. Stewart then led the way to the house, aud after dividing his few effects among those present, and bidding "good-bye, he took his gun on his shoulder, leaving those behind in wonder as to whether he intended revenge, or merely wished to hurry from the scene of so much sorrow.

Nearly a year after this tragical occurrcnoe, some hunters passing through the hollow, near the hunter's cabin, saw some birds of carrion hovering about it, which induced them to visit it. Passing by the grave, they paw that-the body had been exhumed. At the door of the hut a horrible sight met their view. A ghastly coqwe was bound in the doorway, the eyes having been picked out by the birds. Pinned to its clothes with a wooden peg, was 'a strip of paper, on which was written in a fair had: "This is the man who outraged my daughter. I vowed that I would starve him ito death in sighfof my child. I have fulfilled my vow. My daughter is now buried by the side of her mother. "STEWAKT." •And so he had revenge. How he captured and brought him back to the scene of the rape and murder, is not known but from the length of time that ensued, the search must have been a long and weary one. But neither time, nor space, nor difficulties, nor dangers could cool his thirst for revenge or thwart his purpose. The murderer was brought back to the cabin, and in sight of the grave of her he had so brutally wronged, paid the penalty which the childless father had set upt the crime. His appeals for mercy were unheeded, or only answered by pointing to the grave before him. How miserable how horrible, his death, when to the gnawing of unsatisfied hunger, were added the stings of an accusing conscience!

He then proceeded thus: "Mr. Adams, Mr. Gallatin and mvself—three of the, commission for negotiating a treaty of peace with Great Britain in 1813—were at Ghent, boarding at the same hotel. One morning we went to a great exhibition (or sale) of paintings and each of us purchased one. On returning to our quarters our paintings were sent us.

How tbe Question has'been Settled in Philadelphia. 0^ .u j- i'-i

From

the Philadelphia Bulletin] The vexed question of tho right and propriety of women receiving medical instruction at the Pennsylvania Hospital has been settled in a way which distributes victory and defeat so evenly among most of the contending parties, that it ia very hard to say who has and who has not "been hurt."

In accordance with the universal demand of public sentiment, the Board of Managers proposed the establishment of an extra separate weekly clinic for the women. This proposition was declined by the medical staff, although two or three of its members were willing to adopt it ami deliver the rtecessary lectures. They were, however, overruled by their colleagues. The Board of Managers, who, to their honor be it spoken, have steadily maintained the right of the women to the full, unmolested benefit of the lectures, then notified the medical staff that some arrangements must be made by which the advantages of the hospital should be secured to the women desiring them, and that if no other method could be devised, it might become necessary to separate the male and female wards, with a special staff of lecturers for the latter. The medical staff then made another proposition, which, having met theapproval of the special committee of- the Board of Managers, and of the Faculty of the Female Medical College, has been adopted, and is now in operation. The new arrangement provides what is practically a separate clinic, though not an extra one. The women attend the Saturday lecture as before. The cases which are regarded as special ones, requiring such exposures as render them improper for a mixed class, are to be grouped as much as possible mto tbe

Wednesday lectures. If there
