Michigan manufactured lat year up
wards of 700,000,000 fei t of lumber. This
rate of manufacturing induced the lumber
men recently to tike a survey of the stand
ing forests, and the lesult is that In Ihn re
gion embraced within the Sagnaw district
it Is estimated there is 8,665,000,000 feet
landing, or about enough to last thirteen
years at the present rate of manufacturing.
The rete of the inroad made may be under
stood from the following:
"During October 10.502,200 feet of logo
were scaled on Blaclj river, and tliu total
amount scaled up to the Brat inst was 71,
60,000 feet. This is an excesss of the to
tal aniouut tor last seasoo, and it is prob
able that 15,000,000 fcc tuuie will ha ca
ed before this season is closed. As 10,
000,000 feet mora Is likely to remain in the
booms over winter, the season's work oh tue
river will be about 100,000,000 feet of logs,
including a few million feet that were in
the river left over from last season.

A heavy passenger train on Hie Hannh
Iml und St. Job railroad, before daylight on
Thursday morning, bud entered upon the
bridge at West Qulucy, Illinois, before the
engineer noticed the draw was opeu for a
Bteumer to pass, and, whisillngdown brakes
and reversing the engine, ho brought the
locomotive to a stand just four feet fiom the
end of thd rails over the opening, thus, by
barely ft moment's interval, saving the
whole train from o Iniip into tho Mississ!; pi
below, and preventing a lonihle calamity.
The train was behind time, und of tbi

The Astor House, In this city, was the
scene on Tnesdoy afternoon of a ceremony
wblcb teems to us to set at defianco all those
sentiments respecting the relation of mar
riage which regarded is as anything intrin
sically superior to prostitution. The High
Priest of this occasion was Henry Ward
Beecher, assisted by tho Rov. Uenry M.
Field, D. D., and the Uev. O. B. Frothing
bam. Tho parties were Albert D. Richard
son, lyiiitf, wounded by a pistol shot, uron
a bed of illness, and piobably of death, and
Mrs. McFarland, alias Mr Sage, whom
Richardson some time ago stduced trom al
legiance to her lawful wedded husband.
This husb.tnd bad been guilty of a crime
toward bis wife the crime of poverty. It
was even said that, harassed by the loss of
bis properly and the conduct of bis wile, be
bad sometimes taken to his cups, to drown
care, and had occassiouully men exasner-
led to speak Imrsbly to tho partner of
his bosom, although, on tho other band, no
cbargo of adultery was ever made against
him, and It appears to be uncontradicted
that he was generally so devoted to her
that bis exceeding conjugal ulfection htlr.ict
ed attention and elicited fioiiueut remaik
from his. acquaintances.
Mrs McFarland was a woman of personal
attractiveness. She and her husband end
children, In the year, I8f7, occupied apart
ments adjoining those of Ricuoidson, who
was a young widower, with children. As we
are inlormed, Mrs. McFarland got into the
habit of going out to lunch frequently, if
not daily, with Richardson. Alter this had
gone on for soma tiine, her I nsband remon
strated with her against such a practice tell
lug her that It would give rise to scandal.
She replied that she bad before reflected up
on that consequence, and premised immedi
ate amendment. Coming homu e:ir!ier
than usual the next day, Mr. McFa:lund
met in the hnll bis wile, who came rushing
suddenly and us 11 surprised from Richard
son's apartment she threw ber aims around
him and buried him in a shower of passion
ate kisses. Tbey then went to bis room,
where be gently reminded ber that she had
broken ber promise; again she promised re
form; they spent the night together, and in
tiie morning she continued to cover him with
terms of endearment, Dually begging him.
as he left, to return earlier than usual, assign
ing as a reason of bet leanest that
she bad not bad enough of his society of
late; that she was lonelv, and wished to
see more of him. In coinnlinnw
impassioued wish, he did return e?.r.ir
than usual, and found on his table a nole
from his wife, stating that she bad left him!
In fact, Richardson had taken ber and bis
two children away from bis Lome,
whither be knew not. Subsequently, find
ing Richardson escorting her homo from a
theatre Ute at night, be fired a revolver at
him. but inflicted onlv a flesh wound.
One of his children bo afierwnrd found in
Massachusetts. He succeeded in recovering
po:es?ion of tho child beforo the Supremo
Court of that State by aid of the, sacred writ
of habeas corpus.
On tho 12th ot March, 1850, Richardson
published a cardjeontnining the shameless
statement respecting a woman who was
the lawful wil'o of another man that alter
the separation between Mrs McI'aiu.axi)
and ner busbaud "it Came to bo understood
between ber and myself, that whenever
she should bo legally free, she should be
come my wife." Yel no iuteligent, reason
ing, human being can doubt, from the evi
dence in the case, that this separation was
promoted ami h;ought about and not un
like origiually suggested by Ricbardsun
himself I

At lii9t, diiven to frenzy by the Iofs ol his
more than life, and by the contemplation
of his wife, tho mother his children, repos
ing in the arms of her Bedueer. ho shot that
seducer who was armed ut (ho time, to re
ceive him through the body, inflicting up
on him a wound from the eirecls of which
the seducer has .-luco been fluttering bc
tweon life und death. We use the word
seducer la Its exact Becse we moan the man
who led this woman from hereolf; for he
who crawls, like the serpent in Edoe, inlo
a bousebold nud estranges from a husband
the affection? of a wife, is equally her se
ducer, whettier ho hiuiBclf bus maiital re

For had sho not vowed lo take McFarland
for ber husband, for belter for worse, until
death nothing else should part them:
And it is f:.id her husband is poor, nnd
some times biush! An 1 so the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher c mes and marries her to nn"
other man, to wit. this man Richardson!
And now, consider, man led im n of New

the only crime of McFarland. then rest easy,

who never, in any moment of trial vexition
