The First Time Jeems Ever Went Home with a Girl. “Oh, what a ridiculous caption to appear in a newspaper,” we imagine we hear some of our readers exclaim. Well, we edge lhe fact, but a few days ago we passed over the identical road where the following adventure took place, and the recollection of (he scene has so completely possessed us with the spirit of fun that we feel impelled to chronicle it for the amusement of the public, and for the edification of Moses, Thomas and Parley. We were between sixteen ■ and seventeen years of age when the event about to be re filled transpired, and as a description of our personal appearance at that time is abso lutely essential to the point of our story, we will give it as concisely ns the. snbjecl will allow. In reference, ihenlo that person, to say that we were green in the usual accepta tion of that term, woold give, the reader but a poor idea of the figure we displayed. Rath er imagine a tall, lean, cadaverous, swarthy looking chap, with legs like a pair of tongs, a countenance about as expressive as a plate ! of Dutch cheese, a ftiouth that came very neat making an island of the head above it, n face covered with al furze that looked very much like down on a newly hatched goslin, j with a gait that would lead the beholder to! conclude that we designed to travel down 1 bo'h sides of the street at the same time ; and j you have a correct daguerreotype of Jeems; in the seventeenth year of his age. ] One dark gloomy night in the month of! December, we chanced to be al a spelling school not a thousand miles from Baldwins vtlle, where our eyes fiirst fell on a “fairy form,” that immediately set our susceptible heart on a blaze. She \vns sixteen or there about, with bright eyes, red cheeks and cher ry lips, while the auburn ringlets clustered in a wreath of profusion around her beauti ful head, and her person, to our ravished im afiinnion, was mor perfect in form and out line than the most faultless slatule ever chis eled. As we gazed, our feelings, which never before had aspired girlward, were fully nrou«ed, and we determined to go home with her-that night or perish in the attempt.' As soon, therefore, as school was dismissed, and our lady love suitably bonneltedand cloaked, we approached to offer our services as con templated, and we then learned an import, ant lesson, viz., the difference between re rolving and doing. As we neared her we were seized with a partial blindness—red, green, blue and yellow lights flashed upon our visage, and appeared and disappeared like witches in a phantasmagoria—our knees smote together like Belshazzar’s when he discovered the hand writing upon the wall, while our heart thumped with apparently ns much force as if it were driving ten penny nails into our ribs. We. in the meantime, . managed to mumble over something which is perhaps known to the Recording Angel, but certainly is not to us, al the same lime poking out our elbow as nearly at right an gles with our body as our physical conform ation would permit. The night air blew keenly, which served in some sort to revive us and as our senses returned, what were our emotions on finding the cherished object of our first love clinging to our arm with all the tenacity a drown ing man is said to clutch al a straw. Tajk ol Elysian, of sliding down greased rain bows, of feeding on German flutes I what are such feelings in comparison to those mighty ones that swelled our bosom nigh unto burst ing off our waistcoat buttons! Our happi ness was sublime sublimity, sublimely sub limited, and ever person who has ever felt the divine throbbing! of a newly fledged love princiule, fully understands the world of bliss included in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh words al the commencement of this sentence. Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our Sally’s home, talking of “love and dove, and dart and part,” unrfl so courageous had we become, that we actually proposed to go in and sit awhile, to which our Dulcinea very graciously assented. Alas, Cot us I how soon were we to be reminded (hat the “course of true love never did run smooth.” Sally had a brother of some len summers, who accempanied us along the way, and who was in wonderful high spirits al the idea of his sister's having a beau, and he would fre quemly walk around us, giggling in the height of his glee, and eyeing us as closely as” if ourself aud Sally were the world renowned Siamese twins, and ho was taking the first i°' s 'i Bl ". by the way, was a stubbed, chuckle headed boy, whose habiliments would have made the fortune of any two dealers in mop rags. At length we reached the bars, and while we were letting them down, Bill shot past us, and lore for the house as if pursued by a huusand Bulls of Bushin.

Tub .Arkansas Man who had sever seen a Piano.— -One time an Arkansas man, a genuine character who had been born and bred in the backwoods, happened- lo be in a river town on the banks of the “Father of Waters,” when one of its largest and most magnificent steamboats was lying at the pier. Our hero -was magnificently clad in a wolf skin cap, and blue homespun trowsers, thrust into his enormous cow hide boots. His huge, red hands were adorhed'with brass rings, and several warts as large ns nutmegs, which gave note of his approach as-he Walked, like the rattle of the reptile. Attracted by the sound of music, the genius strolled on board the boat and accosted the Captain. “Monin’ stranger. Pretty pearl music hereabouts. What moughl it come out of!” “A piano forte, sir.” “A what!” “Piano forte !” “Never heered of them.’ere things before. Where moughl it be, stranger !” “In (he lower cabin, sir.” “Moughl I lake a look at the r— thing!” “Certainly, sir, walk down.” The Arkansas man needed no further in vitation. He went, “down stairs” into the cabin, where two] tables were laid out for dinner. Walking up the narrow passage be tween them, he swept off knives and forks by the swing of his coal flaps, but so intent was he upon the music and piano at the far- Iber end of the cabin, that lie heeded not the ruin he created. Approaching the instru ment he literally devoured it with his eyes. The young lady who was seated at it con tinued playing, and the “stranger” was wrapped in silent wonder. Al length when the sounds ceased, he raised his cap respect fully and addressed the audience. “Ladies, I’m much obliged to-you for the kindness you have done me. I never heerd one of ’em afore, and never ’sped to agin.” “You appear lobe very much pleased with it,” observed a lady. “Why, yes, madam, I am—somewhat— and perhaps I should like it better if I had an ear for music—like my brother. Yes, I like it well enough—but if my brother Dick could hear that ’ere—thing—lndies, he'd tear his skirt and fall right thru' it." “Only Hab Faith.” —A friendly corres pondent writing from Washington Pa., says : “Like most other small towns, we have here a “colored church,” where many amusing things are said, highly exhilarating to the spirits of the few who occasionally visit our “Hayti'’ meeting-house. “Hayti” is the name given to that part of our town where “pussons of color” reside. One winter even ing, when tiie colored preacher was in the midst of his sermon, making a most violent if not a most eloquent appeal to his hearers, one ol the legs of the stove, which had been loosened in some way, fell out, and as a nat ural consequence, the red-hot stove lipped over at an angle alarmingly suggestive of fire. The audience, of course, commenced crowding out of the door like a flock of black sheep. But the preacher was equal to the occasion. Addressing one of his prominent members, he cried out: “Pick up de stobe, brudder Bdah!—pick up de stobe! De Lor’ won’t let him burn you! Only hah faith!” Poor brother Bolab had unfortu nately too much faith, and immediately seized it, all glowing as it was ; but no sooner had his fingers come in contact with the fervent iron that he dropped it again, and dancing around on one fool, blowing his skinless fin gers, he exclaimed with nil the energy which he could throw into his voice: “De h—l he won’t! de h—l he won’t!”— Knickerbocker. Asking too Much.—A young couple were sitting together in a romantic spot, wheiithe following dialogue look place : “My dear if the sacrifice of my life would please thee, most gladly would 1 lay it down at thy feet.” j “Oh, sir you are too kind. ' But it just reminds me that I wish you would quit using tobacco.” “Can’tjhink of such a thing—it’s a habit to which I am wedded.” ■ “Very well, sir, this is the way you lay down your life for me ; and as you ate al ready “wedded” to lobacco, I’ll lake .good care that you are never wedded lo me, ns it would be bigamy." The Most Beautiful -Hasp. —Two charming women-were one day discussing wlial ii is that constitutes beauty in the hand. They differed in opinion as much in the member whose merits they were discussing. A young gentleman presented himself, and by common consent the question was referred to him. It was a delicate mntter. He thought of Paris and the three goddesses. Glancing from one to the other beautiful hands present ed to him,which by the way he hatj the cunning to hold for some time in his own, for the purpose of examination, he replied at last, “I give it up, the question is 100 hard for me ; but ask the poor, and they will tell you that the most beautiful hand is the hand that gives.” Thq Boston Herald is responsible for the following; “A down-easlet strayed into the square in front of the City Hall, lately, and planted his brogans firmly in front of the bronze statute of Franklin, looking upward to the benignant face of the old philosopher with great apparent interest. ‘What ole Tel ler’s likeness is that V asked he of a bystan der. ‘That, sir, is a statute of Benjamin .Franklin.’ ‘Statuewt of Franklin, th?

We might wail a little longer under ordinary circumstances, but our neighbor's wood don't fit our stove. A rush of Job work and Blank printing together with the absence of tbe editor must be our excuse for the small size of our columns and anything in teresting which may appear in Hem this week. It will probably be issued in its present form for the two succeeding weeks in order to accommodate the legal advertising. The Teacher s Institute organized and com menced its session in this place on TTicsday. The attendance, owing to the bad state of ths roads, is not so large as it should be. The number entered the first day was 85. We hope to be able to present the proceedings in oar next issue. The Weather still continues variable—-varying from one degree of disagreeableness to another. It seems as if Dame Nature bad taken her finishing touches and clearing up showers for all seasons of the year and bestowed them upon us, all in 91 heap. We hope the Judge will favor us with a few good days—just enough to let us get the potatoes dug.

The Freshet. —The heavy rains of Monday of last week caused the highest flood that has been known for many years. In this immediate vicinity the water was not higher then at an ordinary flood, but in Pine Creek it is said to have gone above the highest high water mark and astonished the “oldest inhabitants.” From what wc have been able to learn the damage to property has not been slight.— No very serious losses have been sustained by any one person, but in the aggregate (hey will amount to a considerable sum. A large number .of dams have gone out together with logs, boards, fences and other property. The bridges across Pine Creek at Cedar Run and Elk Run were carried away, and the bridge across the mouth of Marsh Creek was also partially destroyed. The Cedar Run Narrows werealso seriously damaged. No mails reached here from the south and west by the Jersey Shore and Potter Stages, till Tuesday of this week. Ths east ern mail was also delayed several days. All the papers from tbe north and north-west arc filled with accounts of damage done to bridges, raU, roads, canals and crops. In Elmira the lower pari of the village was one sea of water, in many houses the water was two feet deep on the floor. Boats were plying all Tuesday night to the rescue of thoto whose houses were considered in danger, while some could not be reached even by this means.— A little of everything was seen going down stream, says the from barns to pumpkins. In Corning the water was 18 inches higher than was ever before known, at one time making a clean sweep through the town causing many to wade in their fligbt through water from two to four feel deep, and scattering coal, lumber, &c., in every direction* The Railroad bridges at Corning and Elmira received considerable damage. The rise above low watc r mark in the Chemung River was 15$ feet. The Elections so far as held hare resulted in vic tories to the .Republicans in the following States: We hope this will be sufficient to convince our Pro slavery friends that if the Republicans are “annihi lated, 1 * they leave a very respectable looking menu meat to mark their resting place, OHIO. lOWA.

PETERSON, 30G Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. ... Editor. Singular Case. For some lime pas*, a case of alledged lunacy has been lingering In the courts of New York city, the details of which have furnished rich food for the scandal mongers. Yesterdy, in court, it came to a sudden and unexpected conclusion. While a lawyer was arguing in favor of the release of (he female, Mrs. Caroline Woodman, of the insane asylum, at lhe suit of her friend, Mr. Fur niss, the proceedings were interrupted by lhe appearance of the brother of Mrs. W., who handed to lhe court an application signed by his sis’er, requesting that the proceedings in her name should terminate, as she had ar ranged matters amicably with her husband, was about 10 return to her father's home in Mississippi, with her brother. The case then ended, but we find in the New York Post of last evening, an affidavit sworn to by Mrs. Woodman, which furnishes a history of fhe wrongs she has suffered at the hands of the man Furoiss, who assumed to be her friend. The narrative is quite long, and furnishes one of the most lamentable instances of human depravity and cruelty on record. It seems lhal she has ,been for more than a year fol lowed, tortured, seduced, beaten, robbed with' out mercy, in Paris, Boston. New York Phila delphia, New Orleans, and other places, al hotels, and private houses. She. was taken to Paris by her husband an invalid, and left there to undergo skillful medical treatment while his business obliged him to return home. She (here got acquainted with Furniss, who acquired a po*cr over her reputation through weakness, which he ever afterwards used to extort money. - She there loaned him six hundred dollars. Coming to America he and stole from her money, jewels, &c., all the lime, when she did not give him what he ashed, he beat and abused her. Sometimes he raised disturbances in her rooms al hotels, to force her to give him money. By some strange infatuation she suffered all this in silence, keeping it from the knowledge of her husband, until at last the latter accidently found it out. Her incar ceration in ah insane asylum was done to keep her out of Furniss’ clutches as her husband could no longer live with her. Bastress Township. —This is the banner township of the Sham-Democracy in Lycom ing county. It polled fifty-four voles for Buchanan and one for Fremont. In this de|eclable township composed almost entirely of Catholics, are two who can read and write. These two are standing officers, one presi dent and the other secretary, of the school board. It happened once upon a time that they wished to communicate wjth the Stale Superintendent. A letter was gotten up by the officers and dispatched to liarris -burg. The Superintendent received the letter after some study discovered which part of letter was the top, but could not gel any further. The thought suddenly flushed upon him that it was a specimen of Grtek or Hebrew written by some one in search of employment as a teacher of languages ; he forthwith consulted a Greek scholar who pronounced it anything but Greek, and de clared his opinion that it was intended for English. A consultation was then held by the officers and clerks, and by the aid of the post mark on the envelope it was ascertained to be an application of some kind and from Lycoming county. The letter was then sent to the County Superintendent of Lycoming, who after some study guessed at the contents and wrote to the State Superintendent what he thought it was. This is the kind of edu cation that prevails in this Loco Foco banner township. Show us another township any where from Maine to California where so much ignorance prevails and we will show another Loco Foco banner township. Loco Focoism, Catholicism and ignorance are in separable, and where one exists others may be found. —Jersey Shore Vedette. A Mad Democratic Meeting. — A wag of a Republican named Elliott, made some what of a disturbance at a Democratic meet ing at Cincinalli, the other day. While one of the leaders was in the full tide of bis speech, and laying it down on the Republi cans, Elliott mouhted a wagon, and cried out in a stentorian voice, “News from Kansas !” “Read il! read il.!” cried the crowd press ing towards him, expecting to hear of a dem ocratic victory. j “Parrott’s majority from 5,000 to 8,000, and the Legislature largely Free State !” “Turn, him out!” “lynch the d—d aboli tionist!” “knock down the nigger thief!” was the greeting of the excited mob. But Elliott sprang from the wagon and made tracks up the street, followed by the democratic meet ing, swearing vengeance against him. They didn’t catch him, however; .but broke up and went home, in no very good humot with the “news from Kansas.” Prentice’s Last. —As to the Democratic party they know how the land lies on the Slavery question.— Louisville Democrat.

Fxieto Cobb ; The Election has resulted In favor of the Free State party, Notwithstanding lie fraudulent apportionment which disfranchised about one half of the counties m the Territory—the base and infamous frauds Which were perpetrated in the counties of Johnson, Leavenworth, Atchison and McGee—the Free State-party have triumphed, and have a majority in both branches of the Legislature. Parrott’s majority, as shown by the returns, is about 2,500. By rights it is over 5,000. The returns trom McGee arc more fraudulent ac cording to the population than any other county. It contaihs less than fifty voters, and polled the enormous vole of over 1200 to 24 -Free Stale. Ox ford is a town in Johnson county, just opposite Little Santa Fe in Mo., and has all of six buildings, and over I GOO votes were polled.* Gov. Walker and Sec. Stanton started to this place one day last week to investigate the matter, and on finding the returns frandnlent, they were thrown out. Johnson Co. isjin the Shawnee Reserve where the land is net yet open fer settlement, consequently the whole thing is illegal. Base frauds were perpetrated in tills (Leaven worth) county, at Kickapoo. It was announced a, few days previous to (he Election that there was to be a barbacue,and that Gov. Walker would be there to address the people. Monday passed off and the Governor did not make his appearance, when on Tuesday he was seen wading through the mud, peddling out Pro Slavery tickets to the soldiers, and inducing Missourians to vote. This is the way he has soldiers protect the ballot box. The Free State boys of Qaindaro were never more jubilant than at the present time. The glad news which has just reached'here has gladdened the hearts of all. The brass six-pounder was brought out and planted on the bluff* and a general salute fired which echoed over the plains of Kansas and Missouri. The town was illumined by bonfires. Sharp’s rifles and muskets were fired, speeches were delivered, and a general rejoicing of the whole people. The Bogus Constitutional Convention net on Monday and Tuesday without a quorum- Sheriff Jones, it is said called on Stanton for his certificate, and on being refused drew a Bowie-Knife on the Secretary. It is rumored that Gov. Walker ha* been driven from Lecompton by the Border Ruffians, and has called on the people of Lawrence for pro tection. Walker and Stanton are receiving more curses at the present time from the Ruffians than all the u d—*d abolitionists” in the Territory. The Free State men held a large and enthusias tic meeting in Lecompton on Monday last and was addressed by Gen. Lane and several other distin guished speakers. Lone it is said made the most eloquent speech he ever made in Kaunas. The fall emigration has set in, and hundreds arc c aily arriving here by the river and overland route, and pushing their way to the valleys of the Neosho and Cottonwood. It is anticipated by many that the emigration this fall will equal if not exceed the heavy emigration of last spring. The Missouri U now at a low stag?, and more than one half of the Boats are now laid up in St. Louis. Times here now are very tight. Money is scarce and in Lawrence is commanding from 3 to 6 per cent; per month, and is difficult to begot even a t that price with the best of security. ‘Land war rants are selling for less than a dollar an acre.
