"Oh ! arint Faany, how lovely ! .fe they for Lullra, or for me i 1 ue speaker, a pret' ty but rather insipid looking blonde, held up. as ohe epoke, a clubterof fine gold ornaments tor the bair, a Bpnir of wheut and btnned grass, very graceful and pretty.

"But now they ore for me," said the young girl, caressingly. "They will be so lovely for to-morrow eveinngi anu 1 must looK my best. for the girls will all don their most fascinating attire in honor of he occasion. "Is it not rather marked to be so very hnx- ions f In my young days, ladies waited to be souL'ht aud courted, but, to judge Irora wtat you have told me, this hero of yours may nave nny one in bllverdule tor asking. "Well, he won't know it. And, aunt Fanny, he really is worth courting, lie is so very rich." "Is that all that is required, Bertha, in a husband ( , Well, it is the main thing anyhow,now-o-days. But Lawrence Lane has more than riches. UVTore he went to Australia, report says, he was one of the most talented men of the day, and yon Know he has spent the Inst three years m Europe. 1 hut old Methodist, Lou Harding, always blesses him for a 'true Christian gentleman,' so I suppose he adds chanty to the best ol attractions, lor .he is not lavish of pruiso unless one is willing to assist her." , "A troo Christian gentleman 1" Aunt Fanny repeated tho bbru.se in a musing tone, while a soft light came iuto hf dark eyes, and a smile hovered over her lips. Bertha, seeing that tbe gold ornaments were not to decorate her hair; went off singing, while, with teudcr touch, aunt Fanny replaced ber treasures in her jewel-'ase; , The next evening, Laura snd Bertha, in fleecy white robes, with the bkih roses and other delicate flowers in their hair and looping the lace folds, here and there, stood before the long mirror in the drawing-room, pontiug. "I can't see what she wants to go for," said Laura, pettishly, "she hasn't been to a party before since ma died) and that's tea years ago I Little dried-np old maid t" "I wonder if she's going husband-hunting at her age !" said Bertha. "Why, bite's thirty, if she is a day," and the beauty of eighteen shook ber curls contemptuously at the Idea of such an advanced age being attractive. And in the meantime the object of their ill-natured P'rajirks, theigentle aunt, who for ten years Ji ltd filled u mother's place to these, hor sister's children, waited in her own room for the carriage, fejho bad clad ber small, slight figure In a black silk, whose snvere simplicity was relieved by rich falls of black lace delicately embroidered with golden clusters of wheat. The round whitt arms and throat were not dtcked with jewels, but in the braids of black hair gleamed the golden ornaments Which the little old maid had cherished for thirteen years. Sho was not beautiful, yet thert was a charm in her sweet face, a grace In ber gentle movements, aud a music n her voice that was sought in vain la ber more dashing nieces. As she waited, hor eyes lasted opon a letter, yellow and worn, which had been long hidden under her treasured oj ua-tnents, and she rend : ;. . "Since you will not disobey your ff.ther, and I cauuot command the sum ho demands to pay my dead father's debt to hiln, we must Dart.

JjAWKKNCK." It was a brilliant party tliM Mrs. Husking, the leader of fushion in Bilverdale, gave to her returned nephew. He bad left the villugu a pour lawyer, struggling agaiust fortuno, aud burduued by u knowledge of his father's large debts. Vainly striving to pay thtme, be bad lived meauly, il rowed with economy, and been well known as one upon whom the iron hund or poverty retted heavily. No furewll party hud been made who: he announced his intention of Becking hie fortuno iu Australia. His relatives were rather glad to be r;d of him, and of all Bilverdale but oue heart had ached for his loss, but one voice s?ut forth pruyerj for bis safety, hut one of all Lis friend wutch-ed for his return' No word had come to ttuy, till a letter to his uunt announced his return after thirteen yeurs of travel. All his father's debts were paid, and his lawyer spoke of large suiiib invested iu various ways ; so Mrs. Hus-kins consulted "bur set," and the ii'sult was the brilliant assemblugo which Lauru and Bertha were to honor, and where that "little dried-up old maid," their uunt, was to appear in society after teu year's seclusion. The htro of this evening hud not appeared when the trio, under the escort of Mr. Leslie, Bertha and Laura's father, entered, but soon a stir ncur the door announced his urrivul. A tall, distinguished-looping mun of thirty-five or six, with finished manners and a well modulated voice. A tiiau to notice in any circle, for the broud intellectual brow, and lurgi honest eyes that greeted yours, but now with the glitter of bis wealth gilding every gruca and feature, a man, Hllvcrdalo thought, to full down and worship. Ho had greeted his hostess, hud made nearly tbu circle of the room, bowing to new frionds, greeting with warm cordiality his old ones, when bis eyes fell upou a golden ear of wheat, resting upon a broad braid of black hair. Tho li(ht that sprung to his eyes, the smilfl upon his lips, carried such deep peace to one hen.it, gave one life of patient waiting such a new spring of happiness that the words of polito greeting full upon ears tlmt scarcely heard tuem. , : True I truo ! her trust repaid I ber long constancy rewarded 1 No one clso noted piore than the quiet greeting ot old mends j but two hearts wore full of deep joy, rest alter weary longing. Oue and another of the guests were invited by the returned Australian to a house-warm ing, learning, for the first time, that a new mansion, whoso building and furnishing bad long been a source of speculation, was to be tho future home of Lawrence Lane. Everybody accepted, of course, and many a young heart fluttered at the thought tlmt so splendid a mansion must soon need a mis tress. One little week soon glided owuy. Aunt Fanny was very kind in helping to trim new peach-colored silks for tho sisters ; hut there was an odd smile on her li) when Lawrence Lano s matrimonial prospects were discussed i The evening came nt last. " Cnrriago after carriage set down its load of fair beauties be. fore tho superb house, whoso every window blitzed with light. Merry voices rang through hall and rooms, gay footsteps flew from one beautiful apartment to mother, till it was whispered no ono knew by whom that the revelers were invited to a wedding, lue closed doors which shut off a small room from the long drawing-room were watched Pugnrly, as the guests assembled, and no host came to welcome tuem. At last thoy cpencd. The tall, handsome hero of the hour, a small, white-robed figure, with a long veil of white concealing every feature, the good old clergymun of Silverdale, nnd Mr. Leslie, formed the group disclosed. The short, impressivo service was read, and evpry ear was strained to catch the name. More than ono gasp of astonishment greeted the clearly pronounced "Frances Somers ;" und when the service concluded, ond the bride's veil was lemoved, more than one ill-natured whisper was directed nt Lawrenco Lime's taste in choosing, when all the beauty of Silverdale was before him, "that littb old maid." TIic Bcbcl Incendiary riot In New York Astounding Developments. Nrw York, Nov. 27. It is ascertained that those persona engaged in the attempt to burn the city, came from Canada, most of them from loroato and vicinity. Most of the conspirators were officers iu the rebel army, and bad served as guerrillas iu Keutucky nnd Missouri. . Tbe movements of the incendiaries were managed very uniformly. At each of the hotels they appeared in the character of travellers wanting rooms for a few days. They carried small black leather valises, put ficti tious names on the hotel books, and carried tbelr own baggage to their rooms. The hotels so tar discovered on hro are the Astor, Belmont- Hotel, Hunna, Lovejoy's Metropolitan, St. Nicholas, Fifth Avenue, United Statej, New England, Lafarge and St. James. The original plan was simultaneously to fire the hotels at tbe lower andnpper parts of the city, and while the fire department and police hud their ntientidh distracted to these portions of tho city, to fire tbe hotels and oth er public buildings in the mora central points. Tl e next step would have been to tire the shipping, beginning' with the hny barge? along tne sine or ins snips ami steamers. During this, three of the gang were to attempt th destruction or the iron-ciiids now in tne harbor. They hud provided themselves with numerous appliances, among which was a large quantity of Greek firf. As nearly as possible these steps were to be taken togeth er, or so close npon each other as to render detection bv the police almost impossible. Tho failures in nearly all tbo cases is attributed to the incendiaries neglecting to open tho windowsi In every hotel the windows and tranRoms were tightly closed, thus giving no air to the flumes. The detectives soy the whole force detailed for the work had not arrived. Tbe time was fixed for the 4th of December, but fears of discovery and iiuslrution led to the premuture attempt.

She hus been coming aud going from aud to the South since the war commenced, aud has conveyed large sums of gold from the robel lines, for tho purpose of carrying on somo of the rebel pluns for liberutiug prisoners, hurting steamboats or Government warehouses. Mrs. Beuttio is u highly intelligent womuu, not twenty yours old, with light blue eyes, und light huir, cropped close to ner head. VVheu arrested she wore a wig with luxurious black curls, which she shook over her neck aud shoulders with a graco perfectly bewitching to uoodle-heuds. She is the authoress of a book on slavery, called Woman's Fate and is well known to, and highly esteemed by, all the rebel Generals in the Southwest. She is bountifully formed, und 1ms a dash and abandon of manner, well calculated to curry her through. Attention was first culled to her by thu receipt of au aniionymous letter at tbe Provost Marshal Gonerul's ollice, stilting that she had returned to tbe city from the South, and had brought lurgo sums of gold. Detectives wcro put upon her truck again, but they could find no truco of her, They could hear faint echoes of her footsteps, tut that wits all. It is known, doubtless, that Major Enoch 0. Wolf, Confederate titutes army, was to have been shot on Friday last, in retaliation for the murder of Major Wilson, United States volnnteers,hut proceedings were stayed by an order from the President Until ho "examined the case. Ou the nigKt preceding the execution, however, nud before tho order countermanding it was published, Major Gen. Koso-cruns received a messago from "Mrs. Major Wolf," requesting an interview. Tho message was sent to General ltosecrans' room at thu Lindell Hotel, aud ho replied that he would see the lady in the parlor. Tho interview took place, nnd tho lady beggf-d with tears and supplications, for the life ofherhn.sbnnd-Ma-jor Wolf. General Bosecrans was about to tell her that he had received tho President's respite, but his suspicions wore nroused by the appearance and conduct of! tho woman, so he requested her to return to her room and he would attend to the case. She rcturuedj making the hullsclio with her wailing. In the meantime, Acting Provost Marshal General, ColouelJoe Dorr, was informed of the rebel Major's wife, nnd he paid hern visit und took her parole not to leave the room ut the hotel until next morning, when he promised her an interview with her husband. His suspicions were nrousd, too, but ho could not form any accttrato idea of how the case stood, and ordered her room to be vratehed. On Friday morning last, (the day fixed for Major Wolf's execution,) his wife was sent to his cell in charge of dipt. Peter Tallon, Chief of the United States police. The moment sho saw herhusbaud sho threw her arms around his neck, melodramatically, and exclaimed, "whut! don't you know your own dear little wiey ?" But the undutiful husband "couldn't see'it," and staring with surpriso, exclaimed gruffly, "Who the hell are you, and whut do you wuut here?" The pseudo wile "took on," aud cowered down under tho weight of ber emotions-While in this attitude she made several mysterious signs and bliuks to the Major, but the lynx-cyes of Capt. Tallon did not loose a trick, and by a wonderful coincidence, ha and the Major saw that tho Major should pluy husband. The Major saw, however, that the game was blocked by tho shrewdness of the officer, so he "dropped" into a fit, aud caterwauled around a little, ond tho afllicted wife was conveyed out of the cell for fear her pros enco would cause the M ajor to burst ft blood vessel. It was observed that Mrs. Wolf(?) speedily recovered from her emotions when taken to the fresh nir, but when conveyed to tho oflico of the Provost Marshal General and herluxurous curls nud a quantity ot mysterious swathiug wore removed from'her head un,l face, he grew frantic aa a tigress, and sprang npon Colonol Darr with the agility and ferocity of that symmetrical but treacher ous animal; She brandishes! a gleaming blade and laughed with the very ecstucy of rage. Some oue seized her from behind, and in a moment the cold embrace of a pair of "wrist lets" hold her powerless, but still gnashing her teeth with disappointment Sho was perfectly transported with fury, but.womon-liko.wheu the storm dissolved in a shower of tears, she sat passive as a statue. She was next questioned as to ber real nume, Ac , when she acknowledged that she was not Mrs. Major Wolf bat Mrs. Kate Beattie. tthe stated that she is the daughter of Mrs. Colonel Sharp, now in Europo, operating for the Confederacy; that her name was Miss Kate Brown; that she was educated in ono of the first seminaries in Massachusetts, but acquired a love for the Cntho-olic fuith, and early hecam a convert. She wears a rich ebony cross, which eu presses to her lips with fervor, nud swears that she will die miner than reveal ber purposes here, or the names of any of her accomplices. She bos a Treasury permit to purchase and send into th) South $6,000 worth of goods, and has purchased large quantities of military goods, gold lace, gilt buttons, stars, sashes, etc Al though she had plenty or money when makiug the purchases, none, hardly, was found among her effects, which included' dermises of differ ent kinds. The military goods were purchased at 1 icknor & to. s, and Parson 4 Co. s, of this city, but they have been sent ofT. It is proper here to state that Mrs. Bentlie, when she first presented herself As the wife'of Major Wolf, said that Bhe wis living with ftimily nt Pilot Knob, named Foster, and that shtjrecoivcd a messago from General Sterling Frier, at Marios des Cyghes, snying that if Wolf wns ((pared, the murderer of Major Wilson wonld be forthcoming. It bis .since beca ascertained that Mr Beattie has been operating here very extensively a a ret1?! ftgent, nnd spy. ' She mndn her headquarters at a fashionable mliliner'a. oh Firlh s'reet, nnd, through her assistance, inn plied rebel ladies South with finery. The mil liner is in one of the female military pnsuus here, aud is awuiting trial before s. military commission. . When tlm officer went to ber establishment to iuqulre for Mrs. Beattie, she lied most flagrantly; but when she discovered that they were alreudy well posted, she became furious; swore like a trooper, aud abused the officers like a fishwife. The developments in this case exhibit a system of smuggling and spying, by rebel women, in this city, which bus been successfully conducted for over two years, apd alreudy involve the almobt certain execution of threo women nnd five men, if Mr Lincoln shnuldjnot interfere. Mrs. Beattie is one of tho most, perhaps the most clever, shrewd, successful nnd daring female rebel agents discovered siuco the breaking out of the war She came up the river about a year ago, iu company with along-haired Southern doctor, who preteuded to have just met her on the boot, and to have been smitten with her charms. She then told that she had married rather romantically a captain in the boutliern army, bat separated worn him and was ou her Way to Paris to acquire the French language, nnd all the other polite ac complishment of the gentler sex. She has undoubtedly a number of accomplices aud backers in this city, und her pane will prove of intense interest, as much ou accouut or the startling character of the operations she has been engaged in, as for the infernal plots iu volved for the destruction of Government property, and the treuchery aud rotteness of so-called respectable society in St Louif. Mrs. Ueuttie is very refractory, although held in irons at the Gratiot street prison, aud defies the military authorities, hell aud the devil to do, in her own language, "their d n-dest!" of which more unou.

Ah officer down in Georgia tells the following story: One night General was ont on the Hue, and observed a light ou.tho mounluin opposite. Thinking It was a signal light of the enemy, he remarked to his artillery officer that a hole could easily be put througu it Where upon the officer, turning to tbe corporal in charge of the gun, said: "Corporal, do you see that?" "Yes sir." "Put a hole through it" ordered the Captain. .The corporal sighted the gun, and when all was ready ho looked up and said: "Captain, that's the moon." "Don't care for that" was the Captain's response, "put a bole through it anyhow." It is stated that a single eastern leg factory has leased eight square miles of forest in Maine for tbe purpose of obtaining supplies of timber for the manufacture of the artificial limb.

'' boriously ut work some weeks post ascertain- ' iug the price, condition aud prospect of the' " 1 corn crop' throughout the seven Western t Slates, aud has arrived at the conclusion, after , j a careful examination of its returns, that thu , , . supply is fully 200 per cent better than it was ' 1 iastyear. With regard to the effect of this ' largo increase npon the hog crop of the pres- ' cut seasou, aud the pi ic of pork daring the, year, it justly remarks : We are of the opinion that it Is safe this ' season to estimate the pork crop upon the '-basis of the supply of corn, assuming that , hogs enough will be found where there is , coro to tied them. H is true that the price' h.. un i,nHln,l l,..,ona t,n tlmfillt.nltf nt1 pork, both the price of hogs and corn, aud ir the lurmer can get 80d. a bushel for oorn and ... i but 8c. a pound for pork, he will sell the corn: rather than to feed it to hogs whilst on the' ( other baud, if he cau get tie. for his perk and but 40c for his corn, he will feed bogs with 1 ' his corn in preference to soiling it ,n : t An immense amouut of last year's crop of. corn wus used for distillation i this year noue : , will be usad for that purpose until Jannary,' aud but little comparatively from then oa ' during the spring months, so that with the ex- j ; ccptiou of what will be token for army use , and the foreign markets, the crop must be fed to hogs aud cattle as a matter cf necessity, too, in many districts : aud, as farmers are 1 now acting under the impression that they '.' will get 10 to 12 cents for pork, none can , , doubt tho accurucy of the supposition that . . hogs are being carefully, energetically aud munificently fed, and the business bus been ' peculiarly facilitated by the remarkably fine weather, which prevents the loss of corn, and . ut the same time promotes the fatting process . . of hogs. Taking the extent of the corn crop us our guide, we think there is no doubt that there will be a decided increase in the number of hogs which will be brought to market the! ' coming season as compared with last from :. Iowa aud Illinois, and also a great improvement in tbe quality. Iu Indiuua, this State' ' and Kehtncky the number will not more tbaa come up to that of last season, if it reaches it .. but the quality will be much better. After; the packiug Season proper is over, there will ' be a large supply of hogs for spring and sum- ' 1 mer still left, the loss of which had a marked ' " influence on the provision trade of the past ( season ; for not only bad the deficiency thus . caused by u Bhort Bupply of hogs in the seaboard markets, to bo made up from the pack-ing of lHG-4, but the farmers in many sec-, tious of the West bad to buy meat duriug the spring aud early port of the summer for home use, there being many districts iu Indiana and llliuois where there was no pork Or corn for home use, so carce was corn in Southern II-4 . . linois in the fore port of the summer that the , farmers had to go to the towns oa the Wabash river to buy it The stock of old pork and bncon now in the hauds of deulers is small; and when new comes into market there will be but little of tho old left A year ago , tho stock was large very largo and so were the stocks of American provisions in thS ' English markets Kt that time, tiut they 'are ( r quite small there this fall. This will have aa '. , important influence upon the supply with us, , and so with the prices, with regard to which, bowilver, w6 will not make any estimate, for 1 they will be controlled by influences which ' ' will arise, nnd which it would be folly to attempt any speculation with reference to. One , thing, however, is clear to our mind, that no. . less gold declines largely before the packing season has fully beguu. the price of pork will rule high beyond probable contingency, and those who pack aud hold it will have to ran a great risk. .
