Great Fxcitment in Fremont The Wife of an Old Citizen Hissing. We are indebted to Mr. Kee'.er. editor of the Journal, for the following particulars of a sad event which has thrown Fremont into the most intense alarm : V Fa-EMotrr, Nov. 24. 18G0. Our citizens are now in the midst of the most melancholy excitement. On Thursday, about noon, Mrs. John S. Tyler put on her bonnet and shawl and left her home, telling ber girt she was going to a neigbor'a to spend the afternoon. By evening she had not returned, and her husband went for her. She bad not been to the house of the neighbor. On his return borne be found a note from hie wife, saying that she was hopelessly insane, that she was loat, and giving them a last farewell. The terrible thought flashed across the mind of Mr. T. that aha bad destroyed herself.1 Search was made about the village through the evening. She bad been seen by two diff-r ent persona about 1 o'clock nearly a mile north of her residence, going toward the marsh and river, but nothing Strang was thought of it." '. Yesterday (Friday.) the belle .were all rang for alarm, and many citizens turned oat oa foot and horseback, and aeaiched antii dark, but not a particle of information did they get, nor anything to give tbem tl a leaet elae or hope.- Tbia morning the belle are lolling cat a dread alarm fur a more thorough aad systematic eearch to day. : , : -r ; ... .:. : ', A public meeting was beld last erening, and adjourned to.8 o'clock tale (Satardaj) moraiaf, and is now being btld at the Court House. What the result of uia day's scout will be, I cannot, of course, goes. It is the settled conviction that she mua have drowned herself in the marsh or river. ' ? ; The weather i very, severe this- morning. Yours, , I. M. Kekllr. Toledo Blade. J The Snfar Crop of Cuba. There are in operaooo the present season iu Cuba 1.365 sugar' estates, which produced this year 563,674 tons of aagar. Out f these 1.365 plantations, there are 19 using steam power ; 7 with water and 400 .with ox yower, tho old or primitive style. Tba total extent of land planted with cane on these plajitationa is 691,917 acrea, while the area on the estates used for other pur. poses, viz , cattle field, froit, vegetable gardens, Jbc, comprises 1.289 650 acres, or nearly double the quantity used for ran. . If the weight of each box of sugar is put down at the average of 423iftn-. nett, it will be seen that the whole productsW of the year is equal to 2,632.580 boxes, whici at the prices that have rat.ged since January, can be well estimated at H 17 per box, making the total value of the crop $45,093,860. If to this we add the value of the molasses and rum produced on the sugar estates, it will swell the amount to a very large extent. The sugar crop of Cuba is more than double the quantity ever prod viced in Louisiana in any year, ( 1853, a e believe, was the largest crop,' i. e., 269,360 tons,) the bomber of plantations in Loisiana this year being 1,308, or 57 less than io Cuba. A Mexican Nero - Horrible Cruelty of JUiramon. A specimen of the revolting -cruelties of Mir-amon, we quote a paragraph from the latest Mexican Correspondence of the New York Herald: . . A few days back a h'Storical play was put on the stage, at which Miramon and his family were present.. In this play an appeal was made to a monarch by his aurjucts to grant them the blessings of peace. The occasion seemed favorable, and one of lh audience rose, and. appealing to the President, depicted in heart-rending tones the miseries of the Mexican people bgging.bim also to confer upon hi country that boon so earnestly demanded of the monarch of the piece. Will, it be believed thai this ni,f r;unate suppli cant was dragged to prison by order of Mira non by the bead of police aud was sentenced to receive five hundred lathes at daybreak the follow, ing moruing ? When threa hundred and fifty bad been administered, Miramon was informed I hat the man was dying. Let the remainder," he said, " be given to tho dead body ; my order m ust be carried out." ; V ' , A Trio of Beautiful Sisters. Three sisters, all fast, recently set np a gam blit g house io St. Petersburg, Russia, and being very pretty and clever, amassed touch money, and married men of position.. Growing weary, and haying obiaiued all they ' desired of their connubial partners by the mtlrimonial relations, they contrived by secret charges against their liege lords to make it appear that they were plot ting against the Czar. The bubaods were therefore sent to Siberia, and the wives managed to secure a good part of their estates. They then went to London, assuming to be R'lssiao " Princesses, and are now there intriguing in politics aud making a seusation by their beauty and their admirable coquetry.. They gamble extensively, and wiu fabulous sums off gallant gentlemen in high position, wbo become, fascinated by their charms. What will be the end of the glittering career of these Cireean sisters, the correspondent who relates the above incident does hot prophesy. Col. Fremont's Prospective Wealth. It is not generally know how extensive are the works on the Fremont estate in California. A late San Francisco journal says there are now seven quartz mills in operation, aud adds: " The average yield of these mills, recently, was over $340 per day, each over $2,300 per day, collec. tively, and nearly $19 000 for every eight d4y' run I The last eight day's product reached $18 096.31 in gold bar, which arrived in Phil-delphia on Monday list. The gold, we understand is pretty evenly distributed throughout the quartz, a that there is no likelihood of mnch fluctuation in the yield. At this rate the Co onel will be entirely clear of all his comp'ica-tiprra in the conrse of two or three months, and thn he will commence to realize near a million dollar ppr annnm, or foounting it at that rate exactly) $2 575 34 every day of the yearl :v A Practical Spiritualist. A dry old eodgr connsieted with the railroad inters'Stia man who listens always and sneaks lit tie. and was never known to argue a hobby with anybody, ha lately been all month and ear to a vr? communicative Spirit oalist of the ultra school. TI listened to and swallowed all aorta of thing from the othsr world with so much placiditv of asnt, that tha sptrittiaTist at last believed htm to b one of the 'faithful. A few days since, the Spiritualist -aid to his poril ' the spirit of IT appeared to me last night, and ordered tnc to borrow five dollars of yon," for a certain purpose which was named. Yea. I know it did," replied be, M and isn't it strange? the same spirit called on me an boar afterwards, and told me not to let yoo have the-money, a it bad made a mistake in giving yoa the order 1" The pretended Spiritualist liaan't bee a to aee the old codger since. V .Thrown Oat of Employment The New York Joarnal f Commerce hitis it would probably be no rxagreratton to estimate the number of persons thrown out of employment since election day at 25.000, a : large proportion of whom are young smmen. i One clothing establishment" in New York has r?icharged i .000 workmen ; a hat establish meat baa rharged oearly 1,000 j a saddlery 6rra M reduced its , force about 509 1 and cart ailment ia very general.

Its eonstruction'will cost over seven hundred thousand dollars. It is tk largest hotel in the world, far exceeding in size any in New York or Philadelphia. . The fronton Washington street is 270 feet, and its depth is 227 feet. It wit! easily accommodate 1200 guest, and the boarders can take a walk of a mile and a half before breakfast, by going through the several halls, no one of them twice. The establishment has been leased by the Messrs. Leland Brothers, of New York, and will be finished and arranged under the supervision of Mr. George W. Pearson, for many years superintendent of the Revere douse in Boston. Coal in China. Coal was used very eai Jy in China, as fuel ; it ia mentioned by Dn Halde aa 44 black, stone dug out of the mountains, which stones burned when kindled, and are used by many persons in pref erence to wood, of which there is an abundance.'' It is found in the north and in the south, and probably might be had. in nearly every province in the empire. At Shanghai, it ha been usd on board of forpign steamer ; :n this district it resembles cannel coal; it is also to be bad at Can ton. Le Compte assures ns that there is not any country, better supplied with coal than China, particularly the provinces ot Shansi, Sheosi, and Pechele. . Beecher on Rich Men. ; In the course of his last Sabbath morning; sermon, Henry Ward Beecher pitched right. and left into the members of Christian Churches who shirk jury duty, mililia duty, civic duty of all kin I, and the paying of taxes in particular.7 He said : " As men grow rich tbey grow mean. Why, I know men pious men who actually pet jure themselves about their property, that they may save what is j ustly due the Ci'y for taxes. They are mean as well meanness has tunneled them from end to end. and the biggest one lies through the heart, and the Devil daily una his trains through and through. Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad. At the recen reelect iou tor directors of the Bal timore aud Ohio Railroad, the following ticket was unanimously elected. John Ilopkius, Samuel W. Smith, Francis Burns, Wesley Starr, William A. Hack, Allen A. Chapman. John Spear Nicholas, John Gregg, C. Oliver O'D ni- nell, Henry A. Thompson, Richard. H. Miles, Jan. Harvev. '; - Bandolph Among the Boy. ;, A correspoudeut of the Central Presbyterian furnishes some remitiiseences of his school days, mors than fifty years ago. The celebrated John Randolph, then at the zenith of his power as a leading member of Congress; bad three wards (nephews) at the school (that of Rev. Drury Lacy, Prince Edward County, Virginia, and used to be a frequent visitor. The "riter says: ; It wan Mr. Lacy's custom to bear bis -boy recite their Latin and G leek grammar lessons before breakfast, and I have known Mr. Randolph, more than once, to come from Bizatre (two miles) and enter the school-house by sun-up. At nine o'clock the school was formally opened, wheu all the boys read verses about in the Bible until the chapter or portion was finished. Mr. Randolph always seemed highly pleased with this ex-etcise, read hisverse in turn, and, with Mr. Lacy, would sometimes ask questions. On one oc-caiion, whilst reading one ot the books of the Pentateuch, he stopped a lad with the question, "Tom Miller, caa you tell me who was Moses father?-?" .;' ,;"-; " f; ;'VV-'"-' "Jethro, sir," was the prompt answer. " Why, you little dog, Jethro was bis father in-law." : - ; . - Then putting the question to four or five others by name, not one of whom could answer, ha berated them soundly for their carelessness and inattention in reading, saying: "When you were reading, last week, William Cook read the versa containing the namejofMoses' father, aud have you all forgotten it already Just then a young man caught the name, aud unable to repeat the verse of the Bible, repeau-d a part of a line from MiUuu 'Too pjteut rod of Amram's son," ic. . Ab," said Mr. RndoIpb, "that is the way you learn your Bible get it out of other bouk what little you know of it"-r-and, with an exceedingly solemn manner and tone, added, "and so it is with us all aud ; a terrible proof of our deep depravity it is th it we relish aud remember any thing better than the book." The very- utterance, simple as it was, filled every one with awe and made him feel guilty, while at the same time it imparted a reverence Hir the Bible which was never felt before, and which from one miud at leaat never will be ef faced. Mr. Randolph was so pleased, " however, with the young man who quoted from his favor ite author, that iu a short time as soon,"perhaps as he could get it from Richmond he present, ed him with a beautiful copy of IdtUon? Paradise Lost, with a suitable inscription in his own elegant handwriting. Boys Help Tour Mother. We bare seen from two to six great hearty: boys sitting by the kitchen stove, toasting their feet and cracking nuts or jokes, while their mother, a slender woman, has gone to the wood-pile for rood, to the well for water, or to the meat-house to cot frozen steak for dinner. This is out as it should be. There is much work about the bouse too hard for a woman. . Heavy luting bard extra' steps which should be done by those more able. Boys, don't let, your mother do it all, especially if she is a feeble woman. . Dull, prosy housework is irksome enough at best. It is a long work, too, Jt being im possible . to tell dis-Twhen it ia qitta done, and then, on the saorro )outs' grpaiimtut. v the whole is to be gone oer with- again. W wish soma busy, all-day house-worker, the arrangement of whose bouse' Is about ai inconvenient as it can be, a no uncommon state of things, would coont her steps for one day, aad let aa have the result in miles, let it be noted bow ma ny times she goes into the cellar, to tl e woodpile, to the pump, up and down stairs, and especially how many times from the stove to the buttery . Horning Star. Swear Not. I can conceive of no reason a by a man should swear , but of ten reasons why he should not. It is mean a man of high moral standing would almost as soon steal a sheep as swear. " It is vulgar altogether too low for a decent man. li ia cowardly implying a fear either of tot being believed or obeyed. . It is ungenllemanly a gentleman, according to Webster ger.teel man well bread,' refined. Such a mau will no more swear than gs into the street to throw mud with a clod hopper. It is indecent offensive to delicacy, and extremely unfit for human ears. It is foolish "waut of ;decency is want of sense." .
