Not long ago M. de Beaumont discovered a number of letters in hi* wife's bourdoir. Their contents displeased him. The authors wore men of rank and distinction. Prince Metternioh was one of them.

Once the pride of respectable parentage, her first wrong stop was the small beginning of the "samCjold story over again," which has been the only life history of thousands. Highly educated and accomplished manners, she might have shown the best in society. But the evil hour that proved her ruin was the door from childhood, and having spent a young life in disgrace and shame, the poor friendless one died the melancholy death of a broken-hearted outcast. Among her personal effects was found in manuscript, '-The Beautiful Snow," which was immediately carried to Enos B. Reed, h gentleman of culture and literary tastes, who was, at that tiins?, editor of the Natioixal Union. In the.columns of that paper on the morning of the day following death the poem appeared in print for the first time. When the paper containing the poem came out on Sunday morniug, the body of the victim had not yet received burial. The attention of Thomas Buchanan Read, one of the first American poets, was so taken with their stirring pathos, that he immediately followed the corpse to its final resting place. Such are the plain facts concerning her whose "Beautiful Snow" shall long be remembered as one of the brightest gems of American literature."

His antagonist was astounted at the novelty of this attack? He forgot himself for the instant. The Count closed upon him, and pierced his right arm above the elbow completely through. The artery was severed, and the blood gushed from the wound in streams. The Prince turned deadly pale, but retained bis seif-command sufficiently to return the Count's salu.e, as required by the duelling code. Neither of the adventurers spoke a word.

Her husband first fought Viscount HaHy-Claparede. and severely wounded him. The Viscount shortly after his escape from death at the hand* of M. de Beaumont, was nearly killed by a kind of foot poisouing,occasioned br wearing redsilk slippers. A secoud duel was fought between M. de Beaumont's younger brother and another of the offending letter writers, who was badly wounded. The Metternich duel is the last up to the present time; but Count de Beaumont has appointments to meet two other gentlemen, while many others remain to be challenged. Prince Metternich is a lavorite in Paris society, and the duel has excited much interest. It is singular that he should have been wounded through the ignorance of his opponent. Count de Beaumont, though uninstructed in the sabre exercise, was successful ; if he had known more about the usual method of fighting, he might have been defeated. J}R. P. J.

Child Borx ix i Bar-room'and Afterwards Murdbrbb.—- We «re again obliged to record one of those very sad crimes which make the blood run celd in our veins and our hearts action stop in horror. A little more than two weeks ago, £ young couple stopped off the train at Bupert station and the lady complaining of not feeling very well went into the b»r-roonrol the Rupert Hotel. She had been there but a few momenta, when suddenly she gave birth to a child. Of course, they were unable to continue their journey, and she was taken csre ol as kindly as possible by the strangers into whose "hands she had fallen. One week ago today, sh? had so far recovered as to bo able to travel, and in company with the gentleman who represented himself as ber husband, they agaiq started on the Catawissa railroad towards Taiuaqua. At Ringtown they left the cars. From that point they went on foot back through the country stopping at a farm house on the road and wising to leave the babe. This being refused, they went back to a place called "Hell's Hollow," and there, as wss afterwards discovered, the child was murdered. Suspicion was awakend by seeing the couple repass the house where they had desired to leave the babe, without it. The parties have been arrested and we presume there wil l be no difficulty in proving their guilt. Rumoc says that father and mother were not married. It seems that they were both from England, having been in this country but a short time, and she only arrived a few weeks ago. They were both extremely young and good looking.— Bloomabu'rg Republican. The cable reports of the feeling of the Spanish Cortes is unreliable.

It lies in the power ol the order to thoroughly canvass each election precinct, quietly—and this the more satisfactorily—and by this means prove the exact strength of the party. After this has been accomplished,if there appearsto.be substantial grouads tor success, then will be the opportune time for action. Tunkhannock Templars .are unquestionably radical. We doubt of there being a lodge in the State more thoroughly alive and determined than this one. Among the active members at the Convention, we noticed the Rev. J. H. Weston of Mehoopany ; Rea. F. L.

Altogether the Convention will be beneficial to the cause.--Eds.] Respectfully announces his readiness to do Carpenter-Work of all kinds in the best manner.

Once the pride of respectable parentage, her first wrong stop was the small beginning of the "samCjold story over again," which has been the only life history of thousands. Highly educated and accomplished manners, she might have shown the best in society. But the evil hour that proved her ruin was the door from childhood, and having spent a young life in disgrace and shame, the poor friendless one died the melancholy death of a broken-hearted outcast. Among her personal effects was found in manuscript, '-The Beautiful Snow," which was immediately carried to Enos B. Reed, h gentleman of culture and literary tastes, who was, at that tiins?, editor of the Natioixal Union. In the.columns of that paper on the morning of the day following death the poem appeared in print for the first time. When the paper containing the poem came out on Sunday morniug, the body of the victim had not yet received burial. The attention of Thomas Buchanan Read, one of the first American poets, was so taken with their stirring pathos, that he immediately followed the corpse to its final resting place. Such are the plain facts concerning her whose "Beautiful Snow" shall long be remembered as one of the brightest gems of American literature."

The Viscount shortly after his escape from death at the hand* of M. de Beaumont, was nearly killed by a kind of foot poisouing,occasioned br wearing redsilk slippers. A secoud duel was fought between M. de Beaumont's younger brother and another of the offending letter writers, who was badly wounded. The Metternich duel is the last up to the present time; but Count de Beaumont has appointments to meet two other gentlemen, while many others remain to be challenged. Prince Metternich is a lavorite in Paris society, and the duel has excited much interest. It is singular that he should have been wounded through the ignorance of his opponent. Count de Beaumont, though uninstructed in the sabre exercise, was successful ; if he had known more about the usual method of fighting, he might have been defeated. J}R. P. J.

Child Borx ix i Bar-room'and Afterwards Murdbrbb.—- We «re again obliged to record one of those very sad crimes which make the blood run celd in our veins and our hearts action stop in horror. A little more than two weeks ago, £ young couple stopped off the train at Bupert station and the lady complaining of not feeling very well went into the b»r-roonrol the Rupert Hotel. She had been there but a few momenta, when suddenly she gave birth to a child. Of course, they were unable to continue their journey, and she was taken csre ol as kindly as possible by the strangers into whose "hands she had fallen. One week ago today, sh? had so far recovered as to bo able to travel, and in company with the gentleman who represented himself as ber husband, they agaiq started on the Catawissa railroad towards Taiuaqua. At Ringtown they left the cars. From that point they went on foot back through the country stopping at a farm house on the road and wising to leave the babe. This being refused, they went back to a place called "Hell's Hollow," and there, as wss afterwards discovered, the child was murdered. Suspicion was awakend by seeing the couple repass the house where they had desired to leave the babe, without it. The parties have been arrested and we presume there wil l be no difficulty in proving their guilt. Rumoc says that father and mother were not married. It seems that they were both from England, having been in this country but a short time, and she only arrived a few weeks ago. They were both extremely young and good looking.— Bloomabu'rg Republican. The cable reports of the feeling of the Spanish Cortes is unreliable.

It lies in the power ol the order to thoroughly canvass each election precinct, quietly—and this the more satisfactorily—and by this means prove the exact strength of the party. After this has been accomplished,if there appearsto.be substantial grouads tor success, then will be the opportune time for action. Tunkhannock Templars .are unquestionably radical. We doubt of there being a lodge in the State more thoroughly alive and determined than this one. Among the active members at the Convention, we noticed the Rev. J. H. Weston of Mehoopany ; Rea. F. L.

Iu fact, their influence was so strong, we believe that had they united upon any single point they would have carried it in spite of all opposition. Altogether the Convention will be beneficial to the cause.--Eds.] Respectfully announces his readiness to do Carpenter-Work of all kinds in the best manner.
