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 ?"

• "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. Dickens is so fa-
Pitcher has also received the first volume of
another beautiful edition of Dickens, by Ticknor
& Fields. 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. Some choice rebel poetry is
"thrown in extra 7" in an appendix, and the

'J. B. Lippincott tic Co. have just Issued another,
voluvie by "Ouida." It is a compilation of the
author's:magazine articles, not heretofore pub-.
liihed in this country. "Randolph Gordon,"
"How One • Fire Lit Another," "The Marquis's
Tactics," "Blue and Yellow," "Belles and Black
cock," "The Donke} • shire Militia," are some of
the taking titles of the tales iu this volume. To
those who have become familiar with "Outdo e
style of authorship, it is needless to say that the
book is piquant:and .original throughout, and to
those who have not yet made her acquaintance,
we can only say that a romance-reader who does
not know her dashing productions argues him
self unknown.
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. Peterson & Brothers are con
tinuing their "Green Cloth Edition" of Dickens,
which has now reached its sixth volume, contain
ing "Little Dorrit." It is in a handsome octavo

thirty-eight illustrations from designs by Hal)lot

Table Rock Blown Down.
(Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Commercial.)
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

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.

Murderous Affray in Cinc
(From the Cincinnati Commercial. of July 30.!
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

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

with scarcely any prospect of, recovery. It was•

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. May of hist year to a num
ber a the celebrities of the Paris derni-mondb, by
the Club of the Rue Royal.known rothe Cerelb-des
Moutards. '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.

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. Smith has issued the'following pro
elinuatiam :
M. T., July 3, 1867, Whoretis ' lt has
pleased Almighty God to take from nosily accident
our esteemed friend, Secretary (late Acting-Go
vernor), Thomas Francis Menglile4 who was
drowned at Fort Benton on the ikip,ht of the Ist
inst., by falling from the steamer,G.. A. Thomp
son.
Now, therefore, I, Green .Olay Smith, Governor
of the Territory of Montana, do, direct that the
headquarters of the military, which were estab
lished under his direction and authority in tho
various districts of the Territory be draped in
En ournita ter thirty days:_
I
I further request that the oflioes.of the Federal,
officers of the Territory be likewise draped in,
mourning for the same length, ofitime..
It isbut due to the memory of our deceased,
friend and fellow:officen that wQ•should hold hima,
in fond remembrance. He was. a man of high,
social qualities, great urbanity,. a high order of
intellect, a wave soldier, a true gentleman;; and:
an honor to.bis Terr4tory and Government. This.
sad bereavement will be felt by every ono who
bad the pleasure of his acquakdance throughout
the Territory and the nation.
