ir d y CENTRE HALL REPORTER. FRIDAY, NOV anh, 108 GEN. GRANT. There seems to be some distrust of Gen. Grant, in extreme radical quar- ters, whereit is feared he intends pur- suing a conservative policy, and will not be controlled by the Butlers, Sumners, and Wades of the radical party. This mistrust of Gen. Grant has caused no little uneasiness in certain radical quarters. The New York Her ald and a few other leading Grant er- gans, declare that the policy of the new President will be a conservative one, and not in accordance with the destructive plans of the Jacobins who control Congress. It is even hinted that there is a movement on foot to have the radical electoral vote cast for Colfax, for President, and thus make sure of a radical in the executive chair. In such an event, the question arises, whether the entire radical electoral vote can be used to make Colfax Pres- ident. Are there not a large portion of republican electors who are conser- vative, *and who would adhere to Grant, and thus defeat the radical programme of electing Colfax ? That there is such a conservative element which would adhere to Grant, is true, and this, with the Demecratic electors, could insure the election of Grant and a centinuation of Jehnson’s policy. The popular vote of the country is against radicalism—as proof of this we take, first, the Democratic vote, and add to it the conservative vote in the tn va The Baporter, a paper published in ley, ene of the best agricultu- 1 the nature of agricultural news.

A gay young deceiver, named Al bert A. Whitehead, was sentenced to imprisonment in the State prison, for the term of three years, on Tuesday by Judge Troy, of Brooklyn, for hav. ing a wife more than the law allows. The prisoner was indicted upon the complaint of Henry Doubleday, a resi- dent of Brooklyn, whom he had vie- timized to the amount of $500, and whose daughter he had married while having another wife residing in Buf- falo. Mr. Doubleday, suspecting the character of Whithead, made some in- quiry in regard to his movements, and was surprised to discover that, for one of his years baing only twenty-two he was a most consumate scamp. He found that he had married a girl in Buffalo named Mara Jane Tallman some months before marrying his daughter, and that he was engaged to two other girls. This morning the prisoner was brought up in the Court of Sessions for tiral, and was not a little astonished to find his two wives and two sweethearts present. He con- cluded that it would be better for him to acknowledge his crime, and, with- out any hesitation, he therefore plea- ded guilty to bigamy. As soon as he was sentenced, the desire of the young women to see the man punished, if they had any, gave way, and they burst into tears, which created quite a sen- sation in the court-room. Both the wives are soon to become mothers, and sympathized with each other in their trouble.—XN.

Capture of a Railroad Train by Indians. From the Omaha Republican of the 3rd, we obtain particulars of the Ca p- ture. of a railroad train on the Union Pacific Railroad, previously reported by telegraph. We have received intelligence that confirms the report of the capture of a freight train, on the Union Pacific Railroad, last Saturday morning, In- stead of being at Grand Island, how- ever, it was a mile or two west of Al- kali station. The Indians effected the capture of the train by cutting the ties in the centre and thus spreading the rails so that when it came along about 2 o'clock in the merning of the day stated, it was piled up together and made a perfect wree Iv the disaster the firema was Killed, he being jam- med in between the tender and loco- motive, where for three hours he suf- fered the horrible torture of scalding, when death eame to his relief. All the men en the train fled when the disaster occurred, to escapé from the Indians, but the engineer, who re- mained with his fireman, and did every- thing in his’ power to release the poor fellow from his horrible situation. But his unaded efforts could accomplish nothing. While suffering these tor- tures the fireman begzed the engineer to kill him, but the latter could not find it in his heart to take a human life. The Indians then burned the rail- road bridge near by, for the apparent purpose of destroying the passenger train that was soon to follow the freight train already destroyed. Bat Mr. Nichols, the division superictendant, had come down to the wreck, from Al- kali, with a locomotive. He started on the return, and then discovered that the Indians had got between him and the station, and were end avoring to blockade the track. He had a trusty Spencer rifle with him, and with tha’ oe : ar ithout™® John A.

One night a chance pistol-shot wakened the veteran, when he instantly turned over and be- gan to intrench himself, scratching up the ground with his hands. rpmereepap is ap———— A distingue wed.ling took place in the church of the Unity, Boston, the other day, in the presence of a tremen- dous crowd. One effect that was very charming was the arrangement of flow - ers, the pulpit being entirely hidden by aminiature forest of tropical pants, with boquets of delicious flowers that perfumed the air. Another wedding at a different church (on the same day) also attracted the town. It had its novel features. Preceding the first baidesmaid and groomsman walked eight little girls from ten to six years of age, exquisitly dressed in muslin and Vanlenciennes blue and pink sash- es, and carrying each a bequet of choice flowers.

Then add to Seymour from 300 to 500 thousand vo- ters disfranchised in the southern states, and we have half a million at least, of white voters, as a majority in favor of Democracy and opposed to radicalism.

The Peoria Transcript tells the fol- lowing story of a true love whose cur- rent ran unusually rough: “Several years ago, a young lady in Tazewell county was wooed by a young man. He obtained her consent, and the consent of the old folks, but three days before the wedding she took a freak into her head and went off and married another. The young man was heart-broken, and packed up his effects and went to New York city. There he hid his grief, burried him- self in business, and engaged in specu- lation; was successful, and became wealthy. A younger sister of the girl that had jilted him, moved by sympa- thy, began a correspondence with him to endeavor to mitigate his sorrow. The correspond :nce became interesting. The young girl grew up, aud, as years rolled on, ripene lint) a great beauty. The sight of her phot)graph awakened in the young man’s bosom the love that he had suppos:d crushed forever: he proposed to her and was accepted. Her father wasa widower and was anx- ious to get married himself as soon as his daughter was out of the way, so he urged the mat:h forward. The means of the lover now admitted a brilliant wedding and preperations were made for it. They were to be married last Wednesday in style, and depart immediately for New York city. “A few days ago the expectant bride recieved a letter from her betrothed stating that he had enterad into a spec- ulation that would keep him in the city so that he could not possibly be with her at the time appointed, and asking her to delay the ceremony fora day or two. He also referred to the time when he expected to be united to her sister. Provoked that he till re- membered his former love, the young lady wrote to him in a passion, and sitting down at the same time wrote to a cousin of hers, a farmer in Towa, who had long loved her, telling him that she had broken her engagement, rela- ting the circumstance to him, and en- ded by saying that she was ready to be married, and if he would come and be there at the time set for her wedding she would marry him.
