Tiot trust himself to answer her. There was
something, not deeply touching only, hut im
pressive and sublime, about the moral heroism .
>f this young girl, whose heart and mind, hitli- j
erto wholly iuex[K ricitccd in the harder and j
darker emergencies of life, now rose in the j
strength of their native purity superior to the j
bitterest, cruellest trial that either could un- 1
dergo ; whose patience and resignation, culled •
forth for the first time by u calamity which j
suddenly thwarted the purposes and paralysed ;
the affections that had been destined to endure
for a life, could thus appear at once in the |
fullest maturity of virtue and beauty. As the'
father thought of these things ; us lit vague- j
!y and imperfectly estimated the extent of the j
daughter's sacrifice ; as he reflected on the mi- j
ture of the affliction that hud befallen her, [
which combined in itself a fatality that none j
could have foreseen, a fault that could neither
bo repaired nor resented, a judgment against
which there was no appeal, and then reinetn
bored how this affliction had l>een borne, with
what words and what actions it had been met,
he felt that it would be almost a profanation
to judge the touching petition just addressed
to him by the criterion of his worldly doubts
and his worldly wisdom. His eye fell on the
Bible, still o|eu beneath it ; he remembered
the little child who was set in the midst of the
disciples, as teacher and example to all ; and
when at length he spoke in answer to his
daughter, it was not to direct or to advise but
to comfort and comply.
They delayed her removal for a few days to
Boe if she faltered in her resolution, if her
bodily weakness increased ; but she never wa
vered, nothing in her appearance changed,
either for better or for worse. A week after
the startling scene at the dinner table she was
living in the strictest retirement in the house
of her aunt. About the period of her depnr
tare a letter was received from Mr. Streatficld.
If was little more than a recapitulation of
what he had already said to Mr. Laugley, ex
pressed, however, on this occasion, in stronger
and at the same time in more respectable terms.
The letter was answered briefly ; he was in
formed that nothing had as yet been determin
ed on, but that the communication would bring
liini a final reply.
Two months passed. During that time June
Laugley was frequently visited at her aunt's
house by her father and her mother. She
stiil remained calm and resolute ; still looked
pale and thoughtful, as at first. Doctors
were consulted ; they talked of a shock to
the nervous system ; of great hope from time
and their patient's strength of mind, and of
the neessity of acceding to her wishes in all
things. Then the advice of the aunt was
sought. She was a woman of an eccentric,
masculine character, w ho had herself experien
ced a love disappointment in early life, and
had never married. She gave her opinion un
reservedly and abruptly, as she always gave it.
" Do as Jane tells you," said the old lady,
severely ; "that poor child has more moral
courage and determination than all the rest of
you put together. I know better than any
body what a sacrifice she has had to make ;
but she has made it, and made it nobly—like
a heroine, as some people would say ; like a
good, high-minded, courageous girl, as I say ;
do as she tells you ; iet that poor selfish fool
of a man have his way and marry her sister ;
ho has made one mistake already about u face,
see if he does not find out some day that he
has made another about a wife ; let him :
Jane is too good for him or for any other man;
leave her to me ; let her stop here ; she shan't
lose by what has happened : you know this
place is mine—l mean it to be hers when I'm
dead ; you know I've got some money—l shall
leave it to her. I've made my will—it's all
done and settled ; go back home, send for the
rnau, and tell Clara to marry him without any
more fu>s 1 You wanted my opinion, there it
is for you !"
At last Mr. Lnngley decided. The import
ant letter was written which recalled Mr.
Streatfield to Lnngley Ilall. As Jane had
forscen, Clara at first refused to hold any com
munication with him : but a letter front her
sister and the remonstrances of her father soon
changed her resolution. There was nothing
in common between the twin-sisters but their
personal resemblance. Clara had been guided
all her life by the opinions of others, aud she
was guided by them now.
Once permitted the opportunity of pleading
bis cause, Mr. Sircutmriu did not neglect his
own interests. It would be little to our pur
pose to describe the doubts and difficulties
which delayed at first the progress of his second
courtship—pursued a it was under circum
stances nok only extraordinary but unprece
dented. It is no longer with him or with Clara
Lnngley that the interest of our story is con
nected. Suffice it to say, that he ultimately
overcame all the young lady's scruples ; and
that a few mouth's afterwards some of Mr.
Langley's intimate friends found themselves
again assembled round his table as wedding
guests, and congratulating Mr. Streatiield on
his approaching union with Clara, as they had
already congratulated him scarcely a year buck
on his approaching union with Jane !
The social ceremonies of the wedding-day
were performed soberly—almost sadly. Some
of the guests (especially the unmarried ladies)
thought that Miss Clara had allow d herself
to be wou*too easily—others were picturing to
themselves the situutiou of the poor girl who
was absent and contributed little to the gaycty
of the party. On this occasion, however, uoth
iug occurred to interrupt the proceeding ; the
marriage took place ; and immediately after
it, Mr. Streatiield aud his bride started for a
tour on the Continent.
On their departure, Jane I.angley returned
home. She made no reference whatever to her
sister's marriage ; ami no one mentioned it in
her presence. Still the color did not return to
her cheek, or the old galtey to her manner.—
The shock that she had suffered had left its
traces on her for life. But there was no iivi
dencc that she was sinking under the remem
brances which neither time nor resolution could
banish. The strong, pure heart had undergone
& change, but not a deterioration. All that
had been brilliant in her character was gone ;
but all that was noble in it remained. Never
had her intercourse with her family and her
friends been so affectionate and so kindly as it
was now. When, after a long absence, Mr.
Streattield uud his wife returned to England,
it was observed, at the first meeting with them
that the momentry confusion aud ctubarras
ment were on their side, not on hers. During
their stay at Laugley Hull she showed not
the slightest disposition to avoid them. No
member of the family welcomed them more
cordially : eutered iuto their piaus and pro
jects more readily ; and bade them farewell
with a kinder or better grace wheu they de
parted for their own home.
Our tale is nearly ended ; w hat remains of
it must comprise th bhtory of many yc.tio in
the compass of a few wurd^.
Time passed ©n, and death and change told
of its lapse among the family at Laugley Hall
Five years after the events above related, Mr.
Laugley died, und was followed to the grave
-hortly afterwards by his wife. Of their two
sons, the eldest was rising into good practice
it the bar ; the younger had become attache
to a foreign embassy. The third daughter was
married, and living at the family seat of her
husband, in Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Streat
iield had children of their own now to occupy
tlnir time and absorb their care. The career
of life was over for some, the purpose of life
had altered for others ; Jane Laugley alone
-till remained unchanged.
She now lived entirely with her aunt. At
intervals, as their worldly duties and worldly
avocations permitted them, the other members
of the family, or one or two intimate friends,
came to the house. Offers of marriage were
made to her, but were all declined.
The first, last love of her girlish days, aban
doned as a hope and crushed as a passion, liv
ng only as a quiet erief, as a pnre remembrance
still kept its watch as guardian and defender
over her heart. Yea+s passed on and worked
no change in the sad uniformity of her life,
until the death of her aunt left her mistress of
the house in which she had hitherto been a
a guest. Then it was observed that she made
fewer and fewer efforts to vary the tenor of her
existence, to forget her old remembrances for
awhile in the society of others. Such invita
tions as reached her from relations and friends
were more more frequently declined than ac
cepted. She was grow ing old herself now ;
and with each advancing year the bu-y pageant
of the outer world presented let>5;!!([ less that
could attract her eye.
So she began to surround herself, in her
solitude, with the favorite books that she
had studied, with the favorite music that
she had played, in the days of her hopes and
her happiness. Everything that was associa
ted, however slightly, with that past period,
now acquired a character of inestimable value
in her eyes, as aiding her mind to seclude it
self more and more strictly in the sanctuary of
its early recollections. Was it weakness in
her to live thns : to abandon the world and the
world's interests as one who had no hope or
part in either ? Had she earned the right, by
the magnitude and resolution of her sacrifice,
thus to iudulge in the sad luxury of fruitless
remembrance ? Who shall say—who shall
presume to decide that cannot think you with
htr thoughts, and iook back with her recollec
tions ?
Thus she lived—alone, and yet not lonely ;
without hope, but with no despair ; separate
and apart from the world around her, except
when she approached it by her charities to the
poor, and her succor to the afflicted ; by her
occasional interviews with the surviving mem
bers of her family and a few old friends, when
they sought her in her calm retreat ; and by
little presents which she constantly sent to
brothers' and sisters' children, who worshipped
as their invisible good genius, " the kind lady'
whom most of them had never seen. Such was
her existence throughout the closing years of
her life, such did it coutinuc—calm and blame
less—to the last.
THF. TT ARVEST IN FRANCE.—" WE are alrea
dy able to point out the first results of the
vintage, and are glad to be able to state that
the yield almost generally is above what was
expected, and that the quality will be superior.
The south, which, it may be remembered, was
particularly attacked by the grape disease, does
not present very satisfactory results ; but in
those parts which have escaped the scourge,
the quality is excellent. This remark applies
to the vineyards of Bcziers, Montpellier, Lunel
and Narbonne, and to those of the Tarn. In
the Lyonuaisc, a third more than last year,
will be obtained, and at Pcrigucx and its neigh
borhood, the result will he better than was
hoped for. The same may be said of the Gi
rodc, particularly at Bluve. In Tourraine, and
the Upper and Lower Cher, the crop will ex
ceed the general expectation ; in the Gers,
particularly round Condom, the vintage will be
abundant. In the Maconuaise the gathering
been terminated, and it is about to commence
in the Chalonnaise ; though scanty in several
points, it will be abundant in others, and the
average will be satisfactory, and everywhere
of superior quality. In the north, and partic
ularly in the neighborhood of Paris, the crops
are everywhere line. On the whole, the result
of the vintage up to the present time is rather
advantageous than unfavorable."
According to a statistical work lately pub
lished on the consumption of Paris, the quan
tity of tobacco consumed in smoking in 1854,
was nearly double that of 1839, and that of
of cigars five times as much ; whilst that of
snuff, ou the coutry, presented a marked di
minution. It is calculated that the number of
smokers in Paris, including the garrison, is
about 420,000, and the total consumption
| gives 1 kilogramme, 973 centigramme of to
bacco, 143 cigars, and 4 cigarettes for each
person ; or calculating the cigars at 250, and
i the cigarettes at 1000 to the kilogramme, 2
j kilogrammes 749 centigrammes for each. In
! England, the consumption is calculated to be
11 ounces a head.— Journal dc Bcrcy et de V

The Re-Opeuing of the Slave Trade.
J The decree which has recently been issued
j by Gen. Walker, President of the Republic
| of Nicaragua, reestablishing the institution of
slavery, and inviting the importation of negroes
is now attracting much attention.
For our own part we were highly pleased
with the decree, for we are decidedly in favor
of re-opening the slave trade, in order that the
| price of" negroes may be reduced to such fig
| ures as that every industrious poor man may
purchase and become a slaveholder,
i We regard the course pursued by General
I Wlilker as not only correct, but challenges the
i approval of the entire mass of people inhabit
ing the southern suites, and we believe that
j they will sustain him in the position he has av
I sumcd.
Hoping and believing that the confederacy
now known as the United States of North
j America will soon be dissolved, we look upon
this movement of Gen. Walker as ihut of a
statesman, and wc hope the day is not far dis
tant when Central America, embracing the is
-1 land of Cuba, will form part of the southern
confederacy.

THE RESULT.
We have delayed our paper for a day, to bo
aide to give our readers the result of the elec
tion held ou Tuesday last. Wc see no reason
to doubt, from our latest returns, that .Tames
Buchanan is elected President, and John 0.
Bckckinkukje Vice President for the next
term. However much we may deplore such n
result, it is not altogether unexpected. The
Republican party has made a gallant fight,
and been overborne by a combination which
can have no cohesion, and is certain to disap
i
point the expectation of either one section or
the other. Of the causes which have resulted
in tbe temporary triumph of the Slavery-Prop
agandists, we shall have occasion to sjieak
hereafter.
The following tabic will be about tbe vote
of the electoral college Illinois, may be yet
regarded as doubtful. The Southern States
have not been definitely heard from but we
have no doubt they will all go for Buchanan;
with the exception of Maryland, which is cer
tain for Fillmoke.

PENNSYLVANIA. —This State lias gone for
Buchanan. The vote of Philadelphia is Bu
chanan, 38,120 ; Fillmore, 12,353 ; Fusion
19,570 —giving Buchanan a majority of 18,
000. The American counties have given in
creased Buchanan majorities, by reason of
straight Fillmore votes, while the Free Soil
counties have increased for Fremc nt over
Cochran's vote. We should judge that Bu
chanan would have 20,000 majority in the
State over the Union Ticket.
INDIANA. —Iias gone for Buchanan by an
increased vote over the State election.
ILLINOIS.— -This State is still regarded in
doubt. We give it to Buchanan.
KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE, LOUISIANA, MISSIS
SIPPI, have gone for Buchanan, as have all the
Southern States, except Maryland.
MICHIGAN. —This State is for Fremont by
20,000 majority. The Legislature is largely
Republican, which lays Gen. Cass on the shelf.
MAINE has gone for Fremont by un increas
ed vote over the August election.
MASSACHUSETTS. —Fremont carries this state
by a large majority.
BURLING AM E is re-elected to Congress in the
Boston district over AITLKTON, supported by
the Americans, Democrats, Ac.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE. —The State has gone for
Fremont by a large majority.
CONNECTICUT. —The plurality in this State
for Fremont will be about 8000.
RHODE-ISLAND has gone for Fremont by a
large majority.
MARYLAND. —Baltimore gives Fillmore about
6000 majority. He has carried the state by
probably 10,000 majority.
DELAWARE. —Has probably gone for Bu

VERMONT. —Fremont has carried this State
by 30,000 majority.
NEW-JERSEY. —Has gnne for Buchanan by
a large majority.
NEW-YORK. —The city of New-York gives
Buchanan 23,000 majority. Throughout the
State Fremont is making large gains, which
will give him the State by 30 or 40,000 ma
jority.
In the adjoining Congressional district, PAR
KER (Rep ) is elected over HATHAWAY, by over
3,000 majority.
Chemung gives Fremont 1000 majority ;
Tioga 1000 ; Broome 1500 ; Tompkins 2500.
The Republieau State Ticket is elected by
a large majority. Fillmore is nowhere.
WISCONSIN and IOWA have undoubtedly gone
for Fremont.

tSr The result in this County has been
brought about by systematic organization and
untiring exertions. The work has been ac
complished by the Republicans in each town
doing their own labor, relying upon themselves,
and adopting measures to poll every vote.—
There are towns in the county, where every
voter who was able to go to the polls, was out.
The aggregate poll w ill overrun 9,OUU, which
is an unusual proportion of the taxables.
But the great reason of the heavy vote, and
our large majority, is the interest our people
put in the success of Republic.au principles.—
It has not becu for personal advancement, nor
for the mere gratification of success that our
voters have rallied to the polls. Ou the con
trary it has been in the face of almost inevita
ble defeat. But they felt that the great prin
ciples of our Free Institutions were threatened
with subversion—that the rights of Freemen
were assailed—-and for the preservation of our
liberties and the vindication of Free Labor,
have they rallied to the polls.
No mere struggle for the advancement of
men eonld have secured the demonstration we
have made. The flush of victory, unaided by
deeper and nobler causes, would have failed to
elicit such an expression. But every Freeman
felt that duty to his God, his country and his
posterity imperatively demanded of him that
he should record his votes against the mon
strous doctrines now propagated.
Nobly have the voters of Bradford discharg
ed their duty. Let the future bring forth what
it may, they will have the proud consciousness
of knowing and feeling that their best exer
tions have been put forth to avert the dangers
which threaten our beloved country. Upon
others rests the responsibilities of what may
happen iu the next four years.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND LOSS or LIFE
Quite a serious accident occurred on Friday
afternoon on the Williamsport and Elinira
Railroad, resulting in the death of one man
aud the injury of several others.
As the down train, at 3 o'clock, P. M., was
about five miles above Trout Run Station, and
ten above Williamsport, iu rounding a curve a
rail broke as the locomotive was passing over
it, and the express car of Messrs. Howard A
Co., and two passenger cars, were thrown from
the track down the embankment, ten or twelve
feet in height. Aa the express car fell it
turned completely over, and lodged bottom up
ward. The hot ashes from the stove were
scattered, and it instantly caught fire, and
the car, with the contents, was consumed. The
loss will reach probably $3,500 or $4,000.
In the Express room at the time of the oc
currence, was Mr. Samuel Harrv, the Messen
ger, and Mr. Lovejoy, the Agent of the Ex
press Company. Both these gentlemen were
injured about the head, in a painful, but not
dangerous manner. Mr. Thomas Siske, the
baggage master, was bruised and inaimed to
such an extent that he died almost immediate
ly upon reaching Williamsport/tfo which place
he was conveyed. He was a middle aged man,
and leaves, we understand, a family.
Among the passengers, the confusion and
excitement was iuteusc, and a number of them
were slightly injured by the breaking timbers
of the cars, and the effects of the sudden shock.
We regret to learn that SIDNEY HAYDKN, of
Athens, was severely injured by this accident.
l®r It would be invidious to select a single
town in this Connty for praise on accouut of
the result ou Tuesday last ; all have done no
bly, and covered themselves with honor; some
have increased their majority largely, while
others have required equal exertion to hold
their own. There is not a single town which
may not be proud of the result.
Haf- On Saturday, several buildings attack
ed to the powder mill of Nathan Pratt, at
South Acton, Mass., blew up, killing two
workmcu.
orgwimi or THE BARCLAY I. H.
On the 29th nit., the Barclay Railroad was
formally opened ; a large number of invited
gurets being present, with a nntnber of Stock
holders from Philadelphia. We find in PER
NOR'S Mining RrgitLtr some interesting par
ticulars, in relation to the mines of this compa
ny and their facilities for the shipment of coal.
The coal is rained by drifts from a vein five
feet seven inches thick, exclusive of slate. At
the drift's month the grade of the railroad ia
1.228 feet above the grade at the Townnda
dam. The length of the road being 16 3-4
miles, the co I must of course, in this distance,
be passed down 1.228 feet from the mining end
to the shipping end of the road. Ami the way
this descent is accomplished, and the cars re
turned empty to the miners, is at once simple
&ud effectual, attesting the skill and practical
sense of the mind that planned and superin
tended the construction of the work. From
the drift's month, the loaded car passes over
a gravitating road, half a mile, descending
i twenty-eight feet t© the head of a chute,which
| has a fall of seventy six feet, down which the
- coal is plunged into a ear upon a track below;
j loaded thus from the chute, the car passes
| down a gravitating road one and a quarter
miles, with a descent of six f y-cight feet, to the
head of u self-acting inclined plane 2,651 feet
long, aud with a fall of 488 feet. At the foot
of the plane, the ears are coupled in trains of
twenty-live, five ton curs, and passed on behind
j a locomotive down fourteen and a half miles
iof road, with a descent of 5T6 feet. At To
wandu, the railroad tracks, upon trestle-work,
are carried alongside a basin eonncctiug with
the river pool, and from the bottom of the
j cars the coal is dropped into chutes with aprons
| leading into canal boats lying parallel with the
i tracks above them.
There is threfore, no handling of the coal,
after the miner fills the car in the drift, until
the canal boat shall have arrived at her desti
nation with her cargo. No steam power is
employed in working the inclined plane, nor is
steam used or fuel consumed in working the
road at any point, except upon the fourteen
and a half miles between the foot of the plane
and the canal, whereon the locomotive is run.
Front the head of tlie plane to the chute, and
from the head of the chute to the drift, the
empty cars are drawn up the grade by mules.
And to get rid of this mule power, it is pro
posed to construct, hereafter, a short inclined
plane with a gravitating tract to return the
empty cars. Down the inclined plane, three
loaded ears are passed at a time, and, simultan
eously, three empty cars are passed up the
plane, which has four rails midway where the
cars pass, and three ruils elsewhere. Loaded
cars can be passed dewn the plane fifteen times
in an hour, and the locomotive engine, over its
course from the plane to (lie canal, can make
with ease three round trips per day, with
twenty five-five-ton cars in a train ; so that
with one locomotive, the company can deliver
into canal lnjats at Towanda 1-575 tons of coal
per day, and, with five locomotives they could
deliver almost five times that quantity every
day.
The Company arc now bringing to the basin
at this place a large amount of coal daily and
are shipping as fast as the limited number of
boats to I>e had will allow. There can lie no
doubt that that this trade is destined to he an
extensive one, aud of great profit to this place.
I*ajr For the large majority in this County,
and particularly for the increase over the Oc
tober election, we are under obligations to Se
nator BIGLKR, to Gen. PACKER, and particular
ly to the eloquent, indomitable SCHSABF.L, AL
though the latter, in his last visit, said but H
few words, and " constrained himself to un
wonted decencies of speech," yet the eff-ct
was very gratifyiug. In future contests we

Nor must we forget to award the just meed
of praise to Gen. Win. I'ATTON and Col. I). M.
Bcu.. These gentlemen, at the bidding of
their masters at Washington, left their public
duties, to aid in the regeneration of this Comi
ty. Both have labored with that real and
industry which characterize the efforts of those
whose bread and butter is depeudiug upon the
result. They will have a gratifying report to
make to their task-masters of the success of
their labors in Bradford.
Mir The election having now passed, we
shall have time to turn our attention to more
trifling matters. The Bradford Titnes has be
come the conduit for the malice and evil pas
sions of the clique whose organ it is. The
last number contains several gross attacks up
on citizens of this place, made ostensibly under
preteuee of defending Mr. WARD. These at
tempts to defame the character of our citizens
will, if persisted in, provoke the retaliation
which would be already justifiable. The clique
who own aud control and scrible for the Times
shall not hide themselves behind an irresponsi
ble person and slander and blackguard with
impunity.
Secnr. BOX'S SERMONS.—A Baptist clergyman
by the name of SprßtiKow, is now attracting
much attention in London, by his originality
and fervid eloquence. So marked lias been
his success, that he is called the modern WIIIT-
FiKT.n. A volume of his sermons has just been
published edited by E. L. Magoon, a cursory
examination of which seems to sustain the
high reputation of the author. The volume
is for sale by O. D. BARTLKTT.
