~.
About a year ago, said he, M. Beligney was
married to one of my cousins, and er 'au' ing with
her that complete happiness which does not excite
envy, because we believe it to be within the reach
of us all; when a cruet malady came to interrupt
this happiness, which would be mole common;
perhaps, if it were 'not supposed to be - so easily ac ,
quired: -The physicians cled this malady-44)M0
anieritis. My young cousin-be ing on the point of
confinement, was kept in her bed, carefully guarded
byher mother, Who -endeavored to deceive her
with regard to the health of her husband. At
length, when she had been thus watched over three
days; her anxious tenderness became excited, she
threw herself from ber be and rushed into his
chamber. It was deserted. ' -Four days before, her
husband bad died, and she did .not know it. Her
grief lent her strength. Grief has -two stages--
apath)c.and.despair. Which is the least painful
to endure! Half - naked, her clothes, in disonier,
no tenger -conscious; of her Eituationi--Madam e
Beligney rushed through the borough; her friends
saw her pass, she walker , with a steady step—they
were _astonished, she sought ., - the cause of these
strange proceedings: She reached the spot: the
--- IrSintners of two work men were filling upon , the
grave-atone which they were carving near a tomb,
the fresh-turned up earth of which still rose above
the grate. The name of Clernmence, which she
lane, was already upon the stone; below
thegbod qualities of the Baron of 6eligney7-nrerrhal
des .confpos et arena's, de tordre de Saint Louis, 4r.—
With precitate gestures she motioned them away.
They started at hex withoutAinderstanding her.—
She made utast effort to speak, but her tears choked
- her. She no longer retained her tenses,•but ~her'
bare threat which , was violently agitated, the
writhings_ of her - delicate , arms, attested the ex
tremity of her torture. This exhaustion was fol
lowed by-a frightful delirium. She overthrew the
cradle bf her new .born babe, whose birth she had
so much desired. Sleep had closed her eyes for a
single moment --all at once, she aroused herself,
crying Out. -No, he cannot have died without my
bele , near him! he is not dead, I shall see him a
,
gain. This thought
became fixed in her 'brain—
she prowen her hand upod her forehead: her , look
became animated, to arose. Her mother, n her
knees, sought in.vain to appease her.
They were compelled to follower her. She• an
nounces her purpose; they charg e her with insan
ity; what matters it to her. * She rejects their
pretexts; she, is cooductelby an inspiration; her
resolution cannot , be shaken.- "My poOr daughter

par. Cremence threw a mantle ove

her, accompanied her. Two domestics followed
them. lt' was not four, by the ' clock the Manse.
They had already opened. the shutters of all the
dwellings: The day laborers were setting out
their wallets and tools--for in summer, in haying
time, the

and these -things transpited in the mouth of July.
The gravelled earth which covered thecollin of M.

threw herself upon the corpse, which she covered/

the rumor spread that Madame de Boligney was

began to collect.—
The, cry of "Oh, my God! is heard. All ap

*, k Railroad to the \Vest..
The a - Shield and Banner," published at Mane
field, Ohio, contains a well-written article on the
subject af a Railroad from this city westward, to
unite with the Sandusky and Mansfield Railroad,
at the latter place. That paper says: "That this
road must eventually be made is amoral certainty,
and were not' the Pittsburghers and Philadelphians
greatly:blinded to their trite interests, they would
push on the work. at once with the utmost vigor
and determination. There is doubtless no Railroad
in the:LTnion that could compete with this in per
manent profit, sapping, as it would, the best grain
growing country between Philadelphia and St.
Louis and monopolizing the main travel from the
great West to the Eastern cities. Were this road
matietto St. Louis by way of Cincinnati, as is de
signed, the amount of produce and travel upon it
in one year, would be almost incalculable." All
this is very true. The "Shield " then goes on to
shomi: the amount of produce that would be for
wailed by RailrOad from the ,great West, to find al
market at the East. As an)nducement for the
farmers of Richland county to take an interest in
the construction of a Railroad to Pittsburr,h, the
“ Shield " uses the following argument i ,
"The loss to the farmers in this county alone
in wheat and flour this spring. from not having a
speedy and a cheap out let to the Eastern market,
is Sufficient to have built the road half way to .
Wooster. While wheat brought from $2,t5 to
$225, and flour $9,75 to $lO, in New York canityd
,
wheat was only worth-from $1.,12 to $1,15,
flour from $0,25 to $0,50 in Mansfield 1.----And why
thia difference I simply on account of the enormous,
freight charges on the Lake and Erie canal and
the difficulty of, getting it to market. Had this
Central Railroad been made and in operation this,
siiiing, no one would risk his veracity by saying[
that farmers would not have realized greatly
too, more
for their wheat, flour, pork, tlic ..,..—obviating, as
it would, the serious inconvenience and loss occa-,
sinned by the lake and canals being closed a great 1
Portion of the year."
We mustset our friend Gi.sssivari right in this
Matter. Ills reasons are verygood, provided we \
bad a Railroad from Pittsburgh to the East. At
Present the only communication we have is the
\
Pennsylvania Canal ; and it has been utterly ini..l
Possible all season for the transporters to ship one
half of the freight w hich has accumulated in this!
,city. The clearances this season hare been beyond,
!all precedent. and although freights of every kind
have nearly doubled, yet the warehouses are filled ,
\
with produce waiting to be shipped. The truth is
the Pennsylvania Canal is wholly incapable of
[ doing the business of Pittsburgh. A Railroad to
Philadelphia we consider absolutely necessary
Books of subscription ate now open, but we are
sorry to say, the capitalists and business commu
nity of Pittsburgh generally, do not come forward ,
[ and take stock with that liberality which their in-
j
terests should dictate or their ability warrant.
A Railroad to the West is also of great impor•j
tance to Pittsburgh ; but to make such road there
[ must be unity of action on the part of those who i
\ are interested in its construction. There has I.iert
\enthely too much talk on this sill jest, and not
[ enough action. We would suggest that the citi.-
zens of the country through which the Railroad is',
proposed to be taken, front Philadelphia to St. Louie,',

some plan for pushing forward this great work.—
There is too much holding back at present. A

with good results. What say our citizens—what
say our brethren of the press in relation to this
proposition ?

Hatted in that paper on Thursday' last. Mr: Shall:

matter will be amicably settled.—Chronide.
Ltss'r.. Surr.•-Marsliall T. P. Shallcross of

ojm The above "local items" are clipped from
the Chronicle and Dispatch of yesterday morning.
"Up to the time of going to pres P-we were not
ted by any official, whose duty it might be to make
the abo've announcement to us in a manner not to
be mistaken for, a hoax. What foundation there
may have been for the rumor above recorded we
know , not.
In the affair with the Marshal of Wheeling, we
certainly feel innocent of any intention to injure
him. We could have had no ill-will towards Mr.
Shallcross, for we did dot know that such an indi-
Vidual lived. We made the statement which has
annoyed him on the authority of a gentleman upon
whose word we can ati, any time depend ; and did
not write with a view; of inflicting pain on Mr. S.
or in any manner inlring him. We said nothing
in regard to him Ilia would be looked upon by
the public 'as derogatory to his character as a citi•
zen.
We still think that Mr. S. did not act in this
matter, about whiclh this controversy started,
exactly as he should, under the circumstances ;
but he and his friends may think differently,—so
there it drops. In some particulars, the Indepen
dents were mistaken: the Marshal was right in
saying that no reward had been offered fur the ap
prehension of the scoundrels; and iae have since
heard that the girl did not die fur several days af

Courier of the 19th toys tOrie of the most violent
storms ever known; passed over this place yester
day. The
,storm continued in its greatest violence
about hours. The streams rose instantly. and.
wherever obstacles were presented, immediately
gorged. The large stone eulvert-hridge just at the
western limit of south Zanesville, gave way and
was sw ept down. The xust of 'replacing it will be
about $301.10 or P5OO. The bed of the run at this
point, is some 15 or id feet below the level of the
road. In one hour atter the storm set in, Beau
mont & Ifoliingsworth's mill, in Putnam, was stop
ped by the backwater from Mosahala, 9i miles
below. The dams on tiloirithala,from Flittoultam
to the mouth, are swept away. Brechbill's dam
