ABBREVIATED FELICITY. Adventures of a Victim of a Chicago 4 4 Love Burean”—A Husband of a Night. We clip the following recital of marriage in felicity attending a Chicago husband from the DeWitt (Iowa) Obxtrrer of the - 2lth instant: "It is a fact not generally known, perhaps, but it is said to be a fact, nevertheless, that there is a sort of `enterprise' carried on by a set of bawdy characters in Chicago, the ostensible object of which is to tell fortunes, and furnish men and women with life partners for audit' consideration of a stipulated sum. This branch of business is carried on under the suggestive title of `Love Bureau.' and by compliance with directions, and advancing the requisite stun of Money, a man may soon be enshrined in the affection of a bldshing bride, and have a loving one to lessen his cares, and share his sorrows through life—or, at least, the "Bureau" Will promptly furnish the other half, and that should secure to him all the rest. Well, a gentleman of our town became acquainted with this labor-saving and time-short •ening process of securing, a helpmeet, and being thus minded, he forthwith forwarded fifty dollars, had Ws fortune told, was informed that at a par -alder time he was Af,cividentially to meet, in the 'city of Chicago at a stated place, a woman bear ing the description then given, and, we believe, a picture of the would-be bride was also sent. `Upon the approach of the time designated, the buoyant gent dropped his tools—for the is an honest, industrions German stone-mason aild plasterer of our town—and went thither to the predestined meeting of his blooming frow. Arriving at the place named. he found the woman answering the description in every particular, and, but a short time elapsed before all preliminaries were arranged, and they were wrapped in silken cords of love, and spliced in hymeneal pledges._ The two being made one, came together to DeWitt, arriving on last Mon day night's train, and all went on swimmingly and in good style for a time but when Friday night came,. there came with it a sense of Null mjs. to pocir Hans; but, supposing' his - wife was being legitimately de tained from his side, Its re red to his viz ., - tuouS but lonely couch, and only learned in the - morning the true reason of her absence. She had taken the evening train, and gone back to Chi cago, probably having an engagement for another .spouse about that.time, taking a large number of things that she had received here at the hands of her husband, and greatly improved In her dress. Ur. Weis took his sorrows in a truly heroic and philosophic manner, and smoked his pipe and kept about his business, and he hopes to be able to continue at it. WeJ call that abbreviated fe licity. He doesn't want any more fortune-tellers' frowe. Who does ?" 7 ' ,.4 4I I‘LICATIONS. • "The College. The Market, and The Court; or Woman's relation to Education, Labor and Law," is the well expressed title of a handsome volume on the subject of woman's rights and wrongs, by Caroline H. Dalt, just published by Lee A: Shepard, Boston. The author has brought to gether the substance of a series of lectures which she has delivered in Boston, during the last ten years, on the condition of woman. This broad subject, which is constantly engrossing more and more of public consideration, as well as the 'rtfroughtful concern of the scholars and the plat ! anthrppists of the age, is handled by Mrs. Dali with a vigor of expression, a womanly liberty of speech, a thoroughness of research. She discusses_ the defects of female education, the degradation of female labor and the difbculties of female legislation in a way that will compel the earnest and serious reflection of all who read her book. The elevation and eman cipation of the working-women of America is a grand work of civilization which is yet before us, and every judicious and enlightened effort that is thus made to direct public attention, and sympa thy towards thfs work deserves encouragement and success. The volume Is beautifully printed, and may be found at J. B. Lippincott Co.'s store. G. W. Pitcher has received another volume of Ticknor & Fields' "Diamond Dickens." This volume contains "The Old Curiosity Shop," one of Dickens's most charming stories, and a num ber of his fugitive pieces. including several of the "detective" sketches for which.

It is called the "Charles Dickens' Edi tion," and has been devised, iu consultation with the author, with reference to legibility, dura bility, beauty and cheapness. It is a handsome and compact 16tno. edition, on fine paper and in beautiful type. The first volume contains, "The Pickwick Papers." The work will be complete hi thirteen or fottrteen volumes. A feature, of the edition is the descriptive head-line attat;ned by the author to each paper. It is in many re spects the most attractive edition.yet issued. Harper Brother. New York.have expended a good deal of book-mniing talent upon the "lost cause," in the shape of "The Partisan Life of Mosby." 3losby's chronicler, John Scott .by naine, - hae concocted a biography which combines the romance of Robin Hood the coarsenelS of Jonathan ,Wild and the veracity of Munchausen. Mosby was not hung, as he should have been, and he and.his plundering band of guerillas are presented for admiration in a volume as - hand £_,olllC typographically, as it Is detestable . in every other respect.

Ticknor & Fields have:published "A Romance of the Republic," by Mrs. L. Mttria Child. The story is based upon one of - the phases of South ern slavery, under which two relined and beauti ful octoroon sisters are condemned to be sold into slavery upon the death of a fond father who has neglected to manumit th during his life. Their adventures in their efforts 'to escape their im pending fate, and their after career form the sub ject of the story, which one reads with a shud dering thankfulness that that form of human raisery. at least, is never more to curse American Soil. The story is vividly told and well worth reading. For sale by J. B. Lippincott 4: Co. Messrs. T. B.

NIAGARA FALLS, July 24.—The far-famed Table Rock, on the Canada side of Niagara Falls, which has excited the admiration of thousands from all parts of the world, and from which multi tudes have gazed on this master-piece of Nature's wonders, is no longer in existence. It was at one time an extensive platform, jutting far out over the water below the falls. Portions have, been falling . for nearly fifty years. In 1818, a mass 160 feet long and 10 feet wide, broke off and fell Into the flood below; and ten years later, in 1828, three immense masses fell with a crash that sounded out above the eternal roar of the Falls. Again, a fragment fell in 1829, and in' 1850 a huge mass, two hundred feet in length and one hundred feet in thickness. Other portions fell in 1857 and 1863. At one time up wards of fifty persons had been standing upoh the rock but a few minutes before one of these por tions felt The only loss sustained, hdivever, • was au old hack, from which the horses had been taken but a few moments before. Owing' to the frequent breaking away of portions of the rock, it has of late been regarded as dangerous, and persons have been warned against going on the rock, or underneath it. isitors• have thus been debarred some of the grandest . views to be had of the Horse-shoe Fall.

For two weeks past efforts have been made to disengage what remained of the rock, by blasting with powder. Advantage was taken of a deep PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY JULY 29, 1867. chasm formed by the weight of the projection, to sink a hole ten or fifteen feet deep, and then in sert in the crevices an immense blast of powder. At G P.

About ti o'clock last evening there occurred at the billiard, and drinking saloon on Longworth street, near Vine. in the Catholic Institute build ing, first floor, an affray so startling in the deli berateness with which a Murderous intent was carried into effect- so full of dramatic terrors— as to distinguish it as one of the most remarkable events of the kind ever placed on record, for this city at least. The parties in the affair, the victim and his probable murderer, It Norman and A. L. Bamford, are 'quite well known to our amuse ment-going citizens as members of Newcomb's Minstrels, now permanently located here, and performing at Wood's Theatre. They are •'ruiddle, men" in the troupe, the one remarkable as a splendid imitation, in voice, of ii soprano, and the other us a first-class tenor balladist. They eagle to this , comitry together, from Eng land, and were immediately engaged by Mr. New comb as ballad singers. They were regarded as intimate personal friends, and were such, in fact. They slept together. ate together, drank together, snug together—lived together. About two weeks since, however, a coldness sprang up between them. We learn that it grew out of affairs connected with their business—that Norman as; sinned a certain degree of superiority over Bam ford, accused him of "putting . him o):(t" in their duetts, and abused 'him grossly in words: that Bamford occasionally// re turned abuse for abuse, and that, on several occasions, they-came very near to actual fighting. On various occasions, recently, they have had altercations of this kind in this Same saloon, which seems to have been their favorite resort. They met at this place yesterday after noon,' and renewed' again their . w f ordy qtrarrel. Norman accused Bamford of spoiling his song. Bamford strongly denied the charge. Oaths and indecent epithets were exchanged, until Norman arrived at a terrible condition Al fury, and used toward Bamford a combinatibn of epithets en tirely too blasphemous and hidecentl to produce in print, and even laid violent hands upon him. Bamford did not attempt to retaliate imme diately; but in the course-of a few minutes he slipped out, leaving . Norman playing a game of billiards at the table in the southwest corner of the room with one of/the bar-keepers, hurried around to the saloou/No. 99 West Sixth street, and borrowed of an/acquaintance there a small sized, four-barrele,lSharp's pistol. with revolving hammer. Armed with this weapon, and with a bosom full of revengeful vindictiveness, the fierceness of which can be estimated by the terrible result, 'Bamford returned to the saloon. The fury that was in his heart burning so fiercely, gleamed out through his eyes as he rushed back to the saloon, walked up to the table, and demanded of Norman an immediate retraction of his abusive language. Norman was leaning • over the east end ofthe billiard table, facing the bar, when the demand was made, and he looked up at Bamford with an earneet,, inquiring glance, as if to study his degree of determination; and; then he said that he had nothing to take back. Bamford stood facing Norman, with hies back to the bar, near the table, and with nearly its length between them. Ho had said to a friend whom he had met on the strept„as ho - was coming baCkithat he was about to kill Nor man,' It seems: thathe meant what he said. When Normaif refused to retract he.diew his pistol. stranger standing in the saloon, hearing the words 'and seeing 'the pistol drawnas did the bar keeper—walked out and turned tiro eorner,.bers OUR "WHOLE COUNTRY. II; GOLF OF cause he knew that blood was about to be shed and did not wish to see it done. When' Bamford drew his pistol be cocked it and aimed at Norman's breast. He took' a very de liberate aim as he said: "Take it back. I'll ,sire it to stott if you don't take it back by' the time I count three—one—two —three!"

Failure of the IJaudllla Nagional Bank. reorremenidenee of the World.] UNADILLA, N.Y.. July 201—The Unadilla Bank, located at this place, has failed. The liabilities of the bank are probably not less than a quarter of a million of dollars, and some people estimate the amount at over a million. Of the value of the assets nothing positive is known, but it is 1_ feared (and I think with some reason) that the unfortunate depositors will not receive ten cents on the dollar. The people of this valley have never before experienced So sad a misfortnne 'as that involved iu the failure of this bank. The bankers were by name Clark I. Hayes and Arnold B. 'Watson. the latter being the President of the concern, and they have been associated in busi lICSb for many years'. The family of ,which Mr. Ilayi:s is a member is, or has been, one of wealth, and hag long been looked upon as one of the most substantial in the country. Mr. Ha} es was himself a man everywhere respected and esteemed; he was a county "authority," au 'ex * tensive owner of blooded stock; "a lord of fat prize oxen and of beef." People were accustomed to look upon his bank as perfectly sound, and it became a sort of savings bank for the toilers of the surrounding, country. There is scarcely farmer or a business man in the border towns of Delaware and Chenanco_countles ' and the lower half of Otsego county, who has not loaned money to this bank. The money of widows and orphans has here been invested; the interest obtained has enabled them to live with comfort, and they have • made the bank their sole source of income. In "thIS - little town of, perhaps, 1;200 in-• habitants, there are not two • score of . people who do not suffer by the failure. The excitement among all classes of the comma ',nity may easily be fancied. Some of the scenes . m whieh these - poor ruined peogle have a part, • would form the staple of a first:Class romance. • Old meuntidoM-women-tottering -the-verge nf the grave, rind the little savings they have de pended upon for support.euddenly swallowed up. The bankers are mobbed in their private office, or on the public street, whenever they show their faces. by throngs of excited persons, and are made the subject of the wildest threats. In one Instance personal violence bee been resorted to by a frantic old - woman. The hard-handed farmers who see penury stai•ing , them in the face. neglectall other' occupations, save that of besieging the doors of the bank, or gathering to' discuss, with wild., words and vehement gestures, the possibilities of the settlement. One poor old lady has become insane: for forty years she had struggled to' save something Pm. old age; her mind was unable to‘ sustain the shock of the news of her misfortune. Nothing else is talked of hereabout. It would be well if the advocates of the National Bank sys tem could look into this lovely Valley, upon these honest people so suddenly made paupers. For the cause of the failure of the Linadilla Bank, was the inevitable tendency to speculation induced on the part of its managers by the temp tations of the "National" system. Tivo years ago, the Unadilla Bank became ;the "Lrnadilla National Bank," with a capital of $lOO,OOO. Its managers offered to pay an interest of 7 percent. on all deposits, making loans wherever they could. The people trusted them. With the money thus borrowed the 'bankers entered into the most absurd speculations. They bought in the Pennsylvania oil regions, after the failure of "petroleum" had become evident to everybody else, large tracts- of. land. These, practically worthless, constitute part of the assets. Tile bankers also purchased a great deal of land in The suburbs of Buffalo, under the delusion that this property could be sold at an enfflmous profit. They invested to the extent of :3-10,000 in d magnificent scheme for making. printing paper upon a new econotnicalprinciple,. of course they failed completely here.. They sunk considerable money, (9,40,000, I am informed) in real estate in Binghamton. Meantime, ono of . the members of the firm—the member having most cause to lead a sober life—entered into. a career of reckless dissipation, under the influence of which lie fancied himself rapidly be coming an Astor or a Stewart. and was led to. scatter money profusely among his favorites and. dissolute companions. The absorbing process was steadily kept up until the whole neighbor hood had been sucked dry. Then notes of the bankers were protested; people began. to show alarm; startling stories flew about,.and. at last the inevitable smash came. It. is-impossible to. exaggerate the suffering that this fallure has caused and is .destined to cause in this once happy community. It is plain that the managers of thie.bank have been for a long time aware of its rotten condi tion; neverthele&f., they did not for one hour pre termit the borrowing process. By their conduct they have unquestionably placeilthembeyotul the pale of sympathy. They are denounced here as common swindlers. This may or may not be a harsh judgment; on that point I say nothing. But it cannot be denied that with.full knowledge of their insolvency, they, have- permitted the people here to step blindly into ruin. Watson, the President of the smashed - bank, is connected in an official capacity with the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad. It is supposed that the larger portion Cd: the stock of the bank was held by him. It is understood that he has , been preparing for the failure by transferring his pri vate property to various persons, and that he has, by divers devices, protected some small stockholders front loss. The knowledge of these things, or suspicion thereof has, of course, made the excitement and indignation among the people far greater than'would otherwise . have been the ease. It is presumed that If Watson has divided his property among his relativek and friends, these participants can be compelled (under the existing biutkruptey act) to disgorge. -„ A BM of Paris Gossip. All Paris has indulged in huge guffaw at the scandal involving the invetardr— the fast and tilted young bloods who lepd such rapid lives that fortune and reputation melt before their pranks have time to congeal into notoriety—said scandal growing out of the o rgie fl which took, place many months ago oil the island. in the 7 lake in the Bois de Boulogne: The 'Ladies of the Lake? were duly present, and it was the demi. monde event of the season, the young bucks having clubbed together' to &tray all expenses. The revel was high , and prolonged. Dresses, diamonds and tiiablerie were the characteristics, and a sea of chain pope elevated the spirits of all, to the topmost felleityL but alas! nothing is well till it bus ended well. The'day of payment came, and the ques tion so often raised as to who is liable for debts contracted by a club was brought unpleasantly forward. The purveyor, wished to be paid, and so pitehed on a good man. And this is the mat ter-of-fact way in which La Patrie dorcribes the sequel : Yesterday a suit came before the Tribu nal of the Seine, brought by T, Boileau,. proprie tor of the restaurant/on the Island in the• Lake of the Bois dellonlogne, against tbetount deitenne pont, to recover the balance of payment fora sup per and ballt r ghren in.

'llhe entertainment weed off with great eclat, blab tire ninety members-at the alb; who have been saready to do honor to the repre aentativee of tho gay life of Paris, appeared to lie lees eager to come forward when "the treater of an, hoar" mentioned'by Rabelailanived. after receiving different sums on account of his. bill, which amounted to 5,085 francs, was now obliged to summon Count de Rennepant, by whom the flite had been ordered, to recover' the balance of 1,885 frardes. The Count, in the first pike,. denied his liability, on the ground *at M. Boffews bad received , orders direct from tLis club, whieliWaScollectivelV . responsible for the debts on account of the entertantment, and he moreover ob jected that the charges-were excessive. An appree Mentfiadibren "Lade that supper abOuld be served for 180 persons, the MI members, with an cot number oriadies, at the rate of 25 cranes per , head: Among other ellarges included in the bill were—supper for the musicians, boatmen, hcrn blowers to announce the arrival of each guest,.. firework-men, &c., in all' Oa persons, at sf. cache refreshments for waiters,. and a sun of 1100 for broken glom. The defendibrat also objected that a deduction ought to be made for some of the persons invited who had net attended.. M. Boi Ica u however, said that if some- of the company had+ liven absent, those present had ea ten and drunk for the rest. For example, instead of forty bottles of champatate, which were set down as sufficient, more than a hundred had been consumed. The Court decided that as the Count de Reunepont had given the orders personally, he had rendered himself liable. Moreover, that,. considering the circumstances, the charges were not exaggerated, and that payment of money on account was an admission of the debt, and ex2luded all right to a reduction. Consequently. it ordered Count de Rennepont to pay the sum oil 1,885 f., and costs. As the count is mapeCunious, it is easier ordered than executed, but his brother 7.0ri1..1 cap pass the hat, or organize a grand pool at baccarat to sup ply the funds and allay the wrath of Boileau, who vows; them all emaNaille for their haggling. Tite•Late General Mengalter...Partici.- Fare of His Leash. A private letter from Montana Territory, dated Virginia City r july 6, gives the following account of the death of Gen. - Meagher: "He was at /Tort Benton, waiting for the arms the Government sent up. He arrived there on the Ist of July, having ridden thirty miles on horseback in the hot sun that day. He spent the afternoon in conversation and letter-writing, and retired early to , his berth on board the steamboat G. A. Thompson. There was no railing on the guards. opposite his stateroom door, it having been broken og in some way. About ten o'clock at night he went on the plaids. Here, it is sup posed he stumbled on a coil of rope, lost his . brilanN„tinfiwris precipitated over the side of. die boat, The Awls greatly swollen - and the current,% - o-vtet.N.ftiie that' the best swimmer was — noCliiiiiTUe - Lifit. -- Itlrs — Stifta - tlia he called for help, when the deck hands ran with their lights and saw him floating away. There was no boat ready. Everything appears to have been confusion and excitement. E have received a charming letter that he wrote me, into that after noon (ins• last on earth), telling me that he hoped to start for home by the, last of the week, so thaHie evidently had no presentiment of his dreadful fate. * * * A gentleman who was in his company for over an hour late in the of- • ternoon, before the accident occurred, has .in formed me of most of the circumstances of his ; last hours in this life, as I state them to you.. I fear that his remains will never be recovered, though the citizens of ' Montana are making every effort to And them." A Virginia City paper adds the following inter esting. particulars: "After our forms were closed for the press this morning the passengers by stage from Fort Benton brought the thrilling and very sad news of the untimely death of General Thomas Francis Meagher. He went on board of the steamer G. A. Thompson, lying at the levee, to spend the evening and nightof the first inst. He was heard to get up from his couch during the night and go out of his state-room on to the guards. Upon hearing_ a splashing sound in the water, the pas sengers rushed out to find that onewhohad stood 'foremost among the few truly brilliant men of our country, and he who had taken so prominent a part in the administra tive affairs of our Territory, winning all hearts by his nobleness of nature and purpose— had been swept down the terrible torretft, per haps.never again to be recovered even in death. All effort& to recover his body had,_ tip to the leaving of the coach, proved fruitless. This is a bereavement in which not only those near and dear to the deceased will be bowed down with irrepressible grief, but many, very many of his fellow-citizens and his fellow-countrymen throughout the land, will most sincerely mourn. "We regret that circumstances prevent our dwel ling upon this Most lamentable calamity in words which we feel to be due to the occasion—tad we must leave this to another time. Our profound and heartfelt sympathies go forth in condolence to that adored wife and noble lady, who, more than all the rest, must suffer the shock of this most sad and unwelcome intelligence." The authorities and people of Montana haVe been paying the highest tributes of respect to the memory of their lost fellow-citizen.,. Governor Green Clay.
