age with De Grange. A suit was brought fOr this purpose in the civil courts of the Territory, and judgement wns obtained against De Grange. In the meantime. Clark had advanced in years and honors.— The gallant youth of 1802 had become the ambitious politician and millionaire. As the popular man of a powerful party, he was sent a delegate of the Territory to Congress. [lure he soon forgot the poor Creole girl, and began to meditate a more brilliant mar riage connection. The obji.ct of this aspi ration was the lovely Miss Caton, of Mary land, a grund•daughter of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, who afterwards became the Mar chiuness of Wr Ilesley. She was a great belle, and Clark's fine manners distinguish ed position, and great wealth, no doubt, ren dered him quite a desirable match for so brilliant and accomplished a beauty. They were engaged ; but some stories of his ene mies caused a sudden termination of their relations. On hearing of his courtship of Miss Caton, the unfortunate Zulime again went to Philadelphia to procure proofs of her marriage with Clark. But alas ! Clark it was alleged, under the influence of a reck less ambition, had made way with those proofs ; poor Zulitne again found herself the victim of rnan's treachery. In a feeling of desertion and helplessness, alone among strangers, whose language and habits were foreign to her, she accepted the hand of Dr. Gardette, who generously and magnani• mously, relying on her truth and sincerity, united his fate and fortune with hers. From that period her life flowed smoothly on in the discharge of her duties as a wife and mother. Shortly after her marriage with Gardette, Clark had suffered his severe rebuff from the lovely Miss Calton. In a spirit of true penitence, he hurried to Philadelphia, saw Zulime, and declared his determination to proclaim their marriage. But it was too late. She informed him that she was Mrs. Gar dette. Clark was deeply distressed at this, and exhibited a sincere penitence. He sought to atone for his desertion of the moth er, by kindness to the (laughter, who was born. in ISM, of this secret marriage. This was Myra Clark. She was placed in charge of an intimate friend Of Clark, Colonel Da vis, who raised and educated her as his own daughter. It was not until she had reached maturity that Myra discovered the secret of , her history. Since then, as Mrs. Whitney and as Mrs. Gaines, she has prosecuted her claim to the property of Daniel Clark, as his lawful heir, with a zeal, earnestness; and energy, which have rarely been equalled in the annals of litigation. The difficulty has been to establish the marriage between Zu• lime and Daniel. Clark. Certainly, amt s. tery hus long hung over this case, which only the dead could rise from their graves and satisfactorily determine. The once lovely Zuli MP. passing through so many reverses and misfortunes, returned in her old age, to New Orleans—her old home—and passed a peaceful and happy life, in the family of her son, re=)ected and beloved for her many virues. She died at the ago of seventy-eight, the youngest of her family—two of her sisters having attained their ninetieth rear. lac tri)igl) Allentown, ra. WEI) NESDAY, OCI OBER 11 1863.

The property we believe was not insured. The loss must be very considerable. Capital for the Young It is a cunsolation for all right-minded young men in this country,. that though they may not be able to command as much • pectutiary eapi • tai as they would wish to commence business themselves, yet there is a moral capital which they can have, that will weigh as much as money with people whose opinion is worth having. And it does not take a great while to accumulate a respectable amount of this cap ital. it consists iti truths, honesty and integri ty ; to %illicit may be added decision, firmness courage and perseverance. %Vitt' these quali ties, there are few obstacles which may not be overcome. Friends spring np and eurround such a young man almost as if by magic.— Confidence flows our to him, and business ac cumulates on his hands taster than he can ask it.

We would respectfully recommend to the farmers of this county to pay more attention to that branch of Horticulture. The committee is however aware that some very superior ap ples and other Fruits are cultivated to some ex• tent in our county, but find, that growers evince a timidity to exhibit their fruit, to which we would strongly urge them, as none but salutary .enefits for the public in general would thereby be obtained.
