A CHARGE, I.IKE CHICKENS, COME HOME TO Boost!—A correspondent from Kirkwood writes us as follows : 41 1 hare had my attention called to an arti cle in 'he Binghainton Democrat , taken from the Montrose Democrat , of Feb. 2-1, giving a history of the marriage of a 4 nigger' to a white woman, in Harford, Susquehanna Co., Fa., which, after saying that there could not be a minister found in Harford that would marry them, uses the following language : 4 Of course, none would be a party to so black a crime, whereupon the parties went to New Milford and other places, in search of some being who had not decency enough to deter him from lending himself to so degrading an act. And on the next ftay a Justice of the Peace of Kirkwood, N. Y., consented to give legal sanc tion to an alliauce, forbidden alike by God and man.' From some words used in the article refer red to, such as 4 Negro Equality,' 4 Amalga mation,' the bogus Democracy take up the cry ;of ' Black Republicanism,' 4 Amalgamation,' A*c. Now for the information of the Derao i cracy, we would say that the justice referred to, is the Democratic Justice just endorsed by the Democracy of Conklin, and last tall elec ted a Justice of Sessions of the County of Broonio, Horatio N. Benjamin, who not only i l>oasted of having married them, but in addi tion to the usual fee, of having had the pleas ; ure of kissing the bride—or, as lie termed it, ' putting on the seal.' This is the true history ! Comments unnecessary !" I Will those Democratic papers who have (tried to make political capital out of this af fair, have the honesty to publish the fads of the case ?— Broome Republiecn. A sad case of insanity has just occurred in Boston "through the influence," one of the pa pers say, "of a little widow, with a pretty face and languishing eyes." At a watering place, last summer, siie made the acquaintance of Dr. F. A. Xoycs. The doctor was made captive and drawn into the net which the widow threw with such consummate skill, and for a while he was happy under the impression that Emma, the fascinating widow would soon consent to change her name. In this hope he was sadly disappointed, for when he proposed, the widow wipid her eyes, said that she should always es teem him as a friend, but she couldn't think of marriage. All hope was given up,and he tried to banish the image of the widow, but she was determined not to stay banished. She wanted more amusement at his expense, and, she had it. She re-opened a correspondence, visited him at his office, talked with him, laughed with him, flirted with him, and a second time refused him. Then reason began to totter, flickered for a while like an expiring lamp, ami on Wed nesday the last ray of intelligence left his brain. He became a raving maniac, fierce and cruel, not able to contain his rage at the sight of a female's face. His first attack was upon a lady visitor at the house. He tore her clothes otf and trampled them under foot. The frightened domestics rushed to the rescue, but the Doctor demolished all wlio opposed him. lie dashed his lists through mirrors—swept vases and clocks from the mautel-pieces —twisted off gas pipes—broke chairs and tables—dashed thro' a partition, and was only prevented from doing further violcuce by the arrival of two officers from the second station, who removed him from the house and kept him locked tip until his friends sent him to an insane asylum, where he is now confined, and considered incurable. Mn>nt.ETowx BANK (PF.XXSYI.VAXIA) Ron- RET>. — A man named George Felger, employed as watchman in this well known establishment was detected last week in having abstracted from the bank a considerable sum of money. In May of last year the sum of $ 1,000 was missed from the bonk, and a short time ago another considerable sum was found to be mis sing, comprising two SSO notes of a peculiar mark. The bank officers made 110 mentiou of the affair, and "determined to keep a sharp look out." One day last week a gentleman of Midletown, appeared at the counter with one of the identical notes. Upon beiug questioned where he had obtained it, he mentioned the name of a farmer in the vicinity of Middletovvn who was at onee sent for, and stated that he had received the note from Felger. The lat ter was confronted, and at length made con fession, acknowledging also having taken the SI,OOO first mentioued. Up to this he had never been mistrusted. Felger made such a sturdy appeal to the sympathy of the bank officers, that upon consenting to deliver over 1 his property in the town sufficient to cover the loss, they agreed to permit him go free of legal punishment, lie left the place on Saturday, and so faithfully had the bank people confined the information of the imposture, that the of fence was known to but very few until yester i day morning.— Harrisburg Patriot, March 'l6. DIED OF EAR RINGS. —About a week ago a domestic, named Ellen Vaughn, employed at the Union House, had her cars perforated for tlie purpose of wearing ear-rings. The opera tion was jwrformed in the usual mauuer, with the usual results at the time. On the second day after the piercing, her ear commenced swel ling, and she left employment and went home. The third day the swelling and inflammation increased rapidly, when she became deaf, blind and speechless ; erysipilas set in, and for three days the unfortunate suffered terribly, when death released her.— Ttoy Jindget, March 25. THE WANDERER'S NEGROES AND TH : GOV ERNMENT. —A statement in the Savaunah lie yubfirnn, said to be from reliable authority, brings home to the Government at Washing ten some serious responsibility in the disposi tion of the negroes imported in the I Vanderer. A number of them were captured in Worth County, Ga, by the Deputy United States Marshal, Mr MCUAK, who sent at once to the Marshal at. Savannah for instructions. The Marshal replied that lie had telegraphed to Washington in regard to them, but had receiv ed no answer ; that the Government knew of the Africans being in the Stale, bht hid given him no orders enu renting them. He advised, therefore, their immediate discharge, and they were released. What has the Union to say upou this point ?

THE LATEST CANARD. —That infallible authori ty, a " private letter from Paris," supplies somebody with the statement, which is duly forwarded to New-York, that Louis NAPOLEON is about sending an agent to Nicaragua to se cure to French citizens there, the right to employ Asiatic and African apprentices in mining and other pursuits. Considering the cheapness of native labor, the hostility of the Governments to any form of Slavery, the op position that England would make to it, and the variety of interests which the Emperor lias to look after just now elsewhere, this story may very safely be regarded as ridiculous and absurd. Jfeg-The following are the late amendments to the Indiana divorce law : Hereafter, the ap plicant will be required to show an actual resi dence of one year in the State, and decrees of divorce which have been rendered on mere ad vertisement of notice in a newspaper, and with out personal service, may be re-opened within two years by the defendant, so fur as decisions relative to property, alimony, or guardianship of children are concerned, but not to set aside the disruption of the marriage tie itself.

DESTRUCTION CY THE LATE STORM. —On Fri day evening, during the terrific storm of wind and rain, five spans of the bridge of the Penn sylvania Railroad and Canal Company, at Clark's Ferry, were blown down. Three spans were left standing in the middle of the river, and three men were upon these at the time the others fell. A number of rafts were broken in pieces, by striking the piers of bridges aloug the river. ftsy* By mutual consent of the Court, Dis trict-Attorney and counsel for the defence, the trial of Mr.SicKi.Es will commence on Monday, April 4. The counsel for Mr. SICKLES appear ed, on Thursday last, in Court and demanded some definite arrangement, which resulted iu fixing the day named. The indictment was prepared Thursday, and presented in due form. In Dutchess county, X. Y., Henry M. Barnes sued Thomas N. Allen for damages sustained iu consequence of the defendant ta king his wife from him and depriving him of her society ! The defeudant stated that the plaintiff's wife came to his house in the night, with a complaint against her husband, and he suggested to her the propriety of leaving him; accordingly lie repaired to her house the next morning, and in the plaintiffs absence took her away. The jury thought he was not a pnper person to act as judge of Mr. Barnes' domestic ills, and allowed the plaintiff S3OO for the loss of his better half. A little girl in Cincinnati, one day last week, when playing hide-and-seek with a companion, hid in an old trunk, the lid of which fastened with a clasp. She screamed for help till ex hausted, when au alarm was raised by her loug absence, and a search made. She was found almost dead from the exhaustion of the air The little sufferer would probably not have lived many minutes longer. No tidings have yet been had of Mr. YEACER, of Easton, in this State, who left that place some time ago for New York. He was last seen at Newark, New Jersey, which place he left to take the train for New York. It has been discovered that the woman who pretended to have lived for the past two years without food, at Fort Edward, New York, has Wen imposing on the credulity of the public there. She is an arrant imnoster. FROM HARRISBURG. [Correspondence of the Bradford Reporter.] H AHin.MII'SO, March 25, 1859. Mr. E. O. GOODRICH —An act to render more secure the pay of mechanics and laborers, in certain cases, passed the Honse almost unani mously. It provides that journeyman mecha , nics and laborers, employed by any master workman or contractor, may have a lieu on any moneys doe sneh master workman or con tractor, from the owoer or proprietor of the building, or other property, on which the work is being done, for their wages earned thereon. This will enable honest laborers, many times, to get tbeir pay of dishonest contractors. The act relating to the collection of taxes in the severul counties of this Commonwealth, which proposes to revolutionize the system, was lost. The bill makes the County Treasurer the collector by traveling over the county, staying two days in each township and boro' for that purpose. The cream having thus beeu taken off, the " driblets" to be placed in the hands of the several constables for collection. The objection to the bill are, mainly, that in large counties the duplicates would not be placed in the hands of the constables till many of the transient persons have left with taxes unpaid, many of which taxes a sharp collector might have picked up, had the duplicate been placed in his bauds at an early day. It has a tend ency to prolong the day oi collection, and to place all the profits in the hands of a well-fed and a well paid officer, and compel the consta bles to do all the drudgery without much pay. An act to require the Williamsport A El mira 11. R. Co., to fence their road was re ported negatively by the Senate 11. It. Com mittee. On motion of Mr. MTER the bill was re-committed. It is singular, indeed, that so just and so important a bill as this should be killed by that committee, without asking one of its friends to appear before them for expla nation. When it was asserted iu the House that certain Railroad Companies exerted an influence over the legislation of the State, cer tain very secsative gentlemen became exceed ingly restive, and yet others were honest enough to declare, on the floor, that the most impor tant constituency he represented was a certain railroad company, and it would seem that about the only constituency represented in the Sen ate, is the various corporations of the State. Whether a hearing before the Senate Commit tee, will induce them to change their report, is questionable. An act to abolish the Board of Revenue Commissioners has been before the House, and elicited some very interesting discussion, which brought to light many important facts with reference to the present method of equalizing the assessments of the State. The system seems to give anything but satisfaction ; yet to abolish it without supplying its place would be "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire." The bill was defeated 31 to 31. The bill for the assessment of damages on the North Branch Canal was amended in the House, so as to make a review by a jury of seven take the place of a trial by jury in court, and so passed to a third reading, with the un derstanding that it should so pass through both Houses without opposition, learning, however, that a well organized opposition iu the Senate would meet the bill at its threshold, the frieuds of the bill in the House restored it to its origi nal form and passed it without opposition. It goes into a very questionable committee in the Senate. What steps will be takeu there to kill it will soon be known. Mr. MYER will be on the look out, and keep informed as to all movements in the premises. House passed resolutions to adjourn finally on the sth of April. The Senate has amended by fixing the 15th. So the 15th may be re garded as the day of adjournment, as the House will probably concur. The Fry divorce bill has finally been report ed to the House, and an effort was made to rush it through at the expense of other legiti mate legislation. The bill was read in place the second week of the session. It was retain ed by the Divorce Committee without a deci sion till ten days ago. After deciding to re port the bill it was retained about ten days longer. What argument has been brought to bear upon this committee thus to act is un knowu, or whether they were waiting for some weighty argument to be brought to their notice, before they could conscienciously make the re port is also unknown, but since they have seen lit to thus retain their repoat, it was certainly asking too much to have that exciting and mooted subject crowded into the regular busi ness out of its order, " Let it take its tarn," — so the House said. The tonnage tax question was made the special order for Wednesday last. The reso lutions set forth that the Pennsylvania Central Railroad has refused to pay the tax and set the Commonwealth at defiance, and authorizes the Attorney General to commence suit in the Supreme Court against said road, with the view to ascertain if the said Company has not thereby foreited their charter, and also to take the necessary steps to procure a decree of for feiture. A very exciting debate grew out of the resolutions and several amendments offered, but they were finally passed without amend ment, by a vote of 74 to 20. If the Senate should pass them, the question of constitution ality will soon be decided. The Governor occasionally tightens the check rein on hasty and inconsiderate legisla tion by vetoes. His vetoes have been sustained almost unanimously. The Gov. seems careful uuder his late political decapitation. From present appearances, old BUCKS' necktie will be large enough to make a winding sheet for all that will remain of the democratic party after the second Tuesday of October next.

The Wy oming Canal commenced business on the 25-th inst. The time of letting water into the North Branch will depend upon the Canals north of us. Home little delay is ex pected on account of the re-building of locks on the Che mung, so that it will probably be the Ist of May before water wiTT be let into the CheniMg. The North Branch is now ready for operations. fgyTlie last number of the Sullivan comity Democrat is filled with editorials and communications in favor of '• boomiig" the Loyalsock. We have read them all carefully, in order to enable ns to take sides on this " great question and we are somewhat disposed to be " foruenst " it. We are tolerably well acquainted with the stream, and our idea is that any attempt t) " clear the channel " or " blast rocks," will be contrary to the intention of Nature, and decidedly prejudicial to the trout-fishing interest. We call upon our members to oppose any such scheme. THE WFTATHER. —Ou Thursday last, we were visited by a thunder-storm, and Sunday morning the ground was covered with snow. A more capricious, un reliable season, has never been known. Apprehensions are entertained that the fruit trees have already put for ward so that a cold snap, in the bud, all our hopes for fruit the ensuing fall. PROBAISI.K HOMICIDE. —On Wednesday, the 23d, the body of Mrs. BEAM, wife of ADAM BEAM, was found in Towanda creek, about seventy rods below her dwelling in Monroe township, a short distance south of Monroe borough. Marks of violence appearing on her person, a Coroner's inquest was summoned, and a. pott mortem examination made by Drs. MASON aud NKWTON. The result showed that she had received several wounds upon the head, not sufficient, however, to produce death, and had probably been thrown into the water vrhen in sensible from the effect of the blows upon tW he-.uk- The Coroner's Inquest returned a verdict that the deceased came to her death by violence at the hands of some per son unknown. Suspicions does not point strongly enough tw any per son to warrant an arrest. Mrs. BEAM was at home .a lone, a short time before her body was found in the water, her husband being at work, rafting, at the mouth of the creek. A son, who bad that day been released from jail, in the meantime, went to the house, but says his mother was not at home, and he left for another dwell ing at some distance. tey~l3y an advertisement in another co)iimn, it will be seen that the Farmers' Union Insurance Com pany, of Athens, has been united with the (Ireat West ern Company of Philadelphia, of which JAMES WHISHT, formerly of Owego, is Secretary.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —The Owego Gazelle, of the 21th says: " Yesterday forenoon, Mr. EKASTUS SHELDON, proprietor of the Canewana Hotel, was terri bly bruised and bitten by a horse belonging to David Taylor. Mr. Sheldon was endeavoring to make the horse lie down, when, unexpectedly, he sprang upon him, taking ' a portion of his side in his mouth, throwing him down and stamping on him, making a frightful wound in his side aud leg." HENRY LOOP, formerly of Elmira, was killed in the Auburn prison, during a revolt of the pri soners. It became necessary for the guard to fire upon them to reduce them to subordination, when Loop and another were mortally wounded. A fitting finale to a life of dissipation and crime. KILLED—WILLIAM JONES, a young man, aged about 21 years, lost his life in Tompkin's mines, near Pittston, Tuesday morning. We understand he was being lowered into the shaft when the rope broke And he was precipitated to the bottom. There were four others in the carriage at the same time, but escaped injury. ADAM MOVER, an old resident of Pittston, was found dead at the lime kiln of Samuel Vanderbury, on the morning of the 23d. It is supposed that being in toxicated, the evening previons, he laid or fell down,with his face over the kiln, and suffocated.

BAIKD, Esq., who with Mrs. B. was a passenger, that the train on the Cattawissa road, Saturday night, 19th, providentially escaped one of these accidents which have becu so often prophesied. As the train neared the high bridge near Cattawissa some casting or bolt broke, just as the locomotive aud first car reached the bridge, 140 feet high. The front end the passenger car, was caught by a gust of wind, and lifted from the track, landing on the edge of the bridge. The motion of the car pulled the bell-rope, and the engine stopped, before any damage was done. The passengers were very much frightened, and a sight of the awful abyss they had ro narrowly escaped, was not calculated to re-assure them.
