First Tkr(h Traia Frm St. Laals ta New V'ark Haw it all Works ia a "Leaker mm tm Veaice." (From the St Louis Bepublioan of April 311 The departure for New York yesterday of the first through train of Street's palace stock cars loaded with cattle, is an ' event worthy of note. . The train left Venice with 172 head of steers, purchased by Mr. Tucker, in Cooper county, Mis - souri, and shipped by Joseph Malhall. of i this city, to his brother, Frank Mulhall, of Communipaw, above New York city. The cars are arranged with separate stalls, separated by gates, which are closed as soon as an ox gets his plaoe, and these stalls are easily adinbtable to the size of the animal, so as to anora ampie room for lying down, and to rise up at wilL A bedding of shavings is strewn over the bottom, so that the animals have all the accommodations oi a firsi-class sleeping car to rest their bones. At the top of the car is a feed-box, with canvas spouts which communicate with the feed basins underneath; also a water-. tank, affording a supply of water, by which arrangement the cattle can be fed and watered during the transit without nnBhippicg. The ears are built some eight feet longer than ordinary stock ears, and in regard to the width, Mr. Mulhall expressed the opinion that experience will require them to be wider. Underneath are the passenger car truck, with elliptical springs and swinging bar, giving to the ear the same ease of motion as the regular passenger car, the advantages of : 'which are that the wear and tear will be j no greater, the ease of motion overcom-ing all evil effects of the sudden stopping and starting of the train. The stock train will run through to New York in ' uinety-eix hours, instead of consuming ten days as formerly, the animals being stalled, fed and watered without any unshipping. The cars from here pass ever the ; , Pennsylvania Company's lines, that Company having made a contrast for transporting cattle with the Street Palace Stock Car oompany. The latter company charges three dollars per head, royalty in advance to the usual freight, which royalty cover the additional expense of feeding, watering and cost of attendance. The advantages : are that stock will be delivered in les than one-half of the time consumed under the old method of stock -, - shipment, when four stoppsges had to be made for feeding, resting and watering. The cattle it is claimed, will now be de- ' livered at their destination free from bruises or losses by aeath, or being trampled upon, squeezed and hooked by their fellow passengers. The shipper can likewise calculate to an hour when his cattle will reach New York, so as to meet the most favorable market, which, eoupled with the saving from shrinkage, it is maintained that from - one-halt' to one and one-half cent per pound will be saved to the shipper. In connection with this, it may be mentioned that some capitalists and railroad men here are discussing the question of organizing a St. Louis company for manufacturing and operating this improved stock oar upon the different lines of railroad west of the Mississippi river extending into the great cattle regions of the West and Southwest and centering in St. Louis. The wsmea of coed society in New York do not smoke cigarettes or anything else after dinner, i ney aa not copy the eccentricities of the demi-monde in aiy Ti-tii-nlr. - At recention or dinner oartv one sometimes sees a pretty face flushed . . with too much champagne, but this is ' not universal.

Dan. Mc- Aully, Mayor, and a number of prominent citizens. He will remain here as the guest of Senator Morton and lady until 10:30 to night, when he leaves for St. Lonis, by special train, over the Vandalia route. A publie reception will be given him at the Academy of Music this evening, at which addressee win be made by Senator Morton, Governor Baker, Hon. John Co- burn and others. The Academy of Music was crowded last night at the reception of the President, and a large number were unable to gain admittance. A few minutes before 8 o'clock the President, accompanied by Senator Morton, Governor Baker, Hon. John Coburn, Jndge Lawrence, of Ohio, and a number of dlitinguiahsd.gsn-tlemen, appeared on the stage. The President was greeted with applause. After music by the band, Hon. Conrad Baker, Governor, advancing to the stand, said: " "Fbixow-CitizkNS "We nave a tm wiA mm nm ara aware. Tor tne nurvoae of attesting our respect for the Chief Magistrate or tne niuu. imaiog o General Grant, ne continued : "Mr. President. The gentlemen having the arrangements for the present 00 a- ion in charge,have devolved upon me the dnty to extend to yon tne eoraiai greetings of the capital city of Indiana. We welcome yon to-night as the honored Chief Magistrate of a great and glorious country ; aa the leader of the armies to which we are indebted in a great measure for the salvation of oni Government and the preservation of the Union. We welcome yon as a friend to human rights , as a man in favor of equal justice to all men ; as one who claims for himself no political or civil rights he is not willing to aeoord to every other man.

That I consented to do, expecting to see your people turn ont to greet your Senator, and not expecting a greeting to me, and I leave him to thank yon in more appropriate terms than I oould do if I were to try." Applause. Senator Morton, taking the stand, addressed the audienoe at length. He said "Whatever may be said in the heat of partisan debate, it mnst be confessed by all that the Government of the United States is well administered; with ability, with integrity, and with patriotism. Not that I would say that everybody will agree with every measure or opinion of the Executive, but that the Administration, as a whole, is conducted with great ability and patriotism, is a fact that will be eonoeded by the historians who will write the history of this Administration and the timer. .. , -; "Under, this Administration, within twenty -five months and a half, $210,000,-000 of debt have been paid ; more than one-twelfth part of the entire debt. How has it been paid, as compared with the last Administration 1 Not by increasing taxation ; not by increasing the burthens; but by faithful and honest collection of the revenues, and by retrenchment and ' economy in every department of tne Government. In paying of that ssiu,-000,000 of pablio debt we have saved more than $12,500,000 - in annual interest, a saving that is to be continual, i During this time eighty-three million dollars in taxes have been taken off, and 1 if this Administration continues successful, and the laws -well and faithfully administered, a farther redaction of taxes can and will be made. It cannot all be done at once. It must be done considerately, and with referenoe to this debt that has got to be paid some time ; it must be done with referenoe to the carrying on of this Government; it must be successfully administered ; it must be done with reference to- a perfect preservation of the National faith; and as things are going new it will be in the power of Congress at 'the next session, to make another large reduction in pablio taia-ion." -i. In' referring to the future policy of the party, he said that the Bepnblican party eoad not afford to run off upon any one issue to the abandonment of others. It was national, and its policy most enforce the good ot the' whole country. It could not afford to make a distinct issue of tariff, the naval service, or any other individual issue. The policy of the Democratic party was to denounce all the Bepnblican party did, and the better the act done the more bitterly it was denounced. Congress had just passed a bill fat the protection .of life and liberty and prosperity, but it is denounced by the Democrats as. .unconstitutional. This was the old cry of the party ; they had denounced every measure passed by Congress to give peace and security to the South as unconstitutional. He believed the Kn-klux bill not only constitutional, but necessary. Other speeches were made till a late hour. President Grant left for St. Louis at 10:30 last night, in a special car. WASHINGTON.

General orders have been issued from the War Department to discontinue Carlisle Barracks, Pa.; as a sub-depot for the mounted recruiting service. The permanent garrison, recruiting property and funds will be transferred to the St. Lonis Arsenal, Mo., and turned over to the superintendent of cavalry service. THE NEW LOAN. The Secretary of the Treasury has de termined to pay the interest on new registered bonds by check sent directly to the holders' of bonds. All persons subscribing to the new loan are requested te famish their addresses in order that this plan may be earned ant. THE HIGH COMMISSION. The large and splendid party given bv Earl de Grey to the most distinguished persons in Washington, both native and foreign, is regarded net only as showing a generous ana inenaiy cue position, but as expressive of the approaching conclusion of ths work of the Joint High Com mission, and as ' indicating that the British portion of it will soon leave this country for tneir nome, tbe party last night being in tbe nature of a farewell entertainment. ' Although the points of settlement on tne questions in dispute are agreed upon, they have not yet oeen reaucea to a treaty or convention form. There is no doubt that the High Commission have agreed on the Alabama and other similar olaims. leaving their adjudication and award to a commission of Jurists. The question of ownership of uta uihq ui oki iuui win prooaDly be submitted to the arbitration ' of some friendly power. Alljthe Commissioners, while scrupulously guarding the right and honor - of . their respective ennn tries, have, from the first dsy of their meeting, anown a disposition to ae- oommodate tneir ainerences, and to arrive at snob eonoJusioni as will be gen orally satisfactory to the great nations immediately concerned. r . .

A DEVOTEE HUSBAND. He RkMti Hiauelf mm his Wife's Death-Bra. White rater fWis.) correspondence Milwaukee Sentinel. I On Sunday morning last our citizens were pained to hear that Mrs. Foster, wife of William F. Foster and daughter of Salmon Clark, of this village, was dead, and soon after were startled by the report tbat Mr. Foster had shot himself. The facts are these : Some six years ago William F. Foster, a brother of George F. Foster, of Milwankee, was married to Carrie Clark, a beautiful and accomplished young lady of this village. They soon after removed to Chicago, where Mr. Foster went into business and where they have since resided. To the happy couple life was pleasant, and they seemed to live for each other and be happy in each other's love ; but, alas t misfortune oame By the fall of an elevator in his store at Chicago Mr. Foster was seriously injured, and for a time his life was despaired of. From the effects of this fall e never entirely recovered, but sufficiently, however, to attend to business. Sjou after this it became evident to the husband and friends of Mrs. Foster that the fell disease, consumption, was claiming her for its own. Everything tbat skill could do, or affection devise, wss done, but without avail. Finally Mr. and Mrs. Foster and her mother went to Florida, hoping that the climate there might ben efit her.'. This, too, failed, and the first of March she was brought back here, where she died on Sunday morning last. During all her sickness, Mr. Foster was unwearied in his attentions, caring not for himself, only for her. Her sickness seemed to prey upon his mind, and he was heard to say, "he cared not to live after Carrie's death, and that without her the world was naught to him," and it now appears that he bad made preparations to take his own life. Mrs (Foster, knowing she was about to die, and fearing the effect upon her husband, said to him, "Husband, had yon not better go into the other room 1" and almost immediately expired. Mr. Foster, who was very much affected, stood for a few moments, then said : "Is my darling wife deadT" and left the room. He returned, threw hsmself on the foot and side of the bed, crying, "I am coming, let me die by the side of my wife," placed the pistol against his person and fired. Mr. Clark, who was standing near the bed overcome with grief, hearing the cry, and seeing Mr. Foster throw himself on the bed, instantly seized him, bnt only in time to prevent the ball from going through the heart. It went through the left breast, lodging, it is thongbt, in the lung. There ie bat littl i hope of Mr. Foster's recovery. The entire community sympathize with the family in their double affliction. A CATHEDRAL CLOCK. The bell-ringer in the cathedral of Wurtzburg has perished under very singular circumstances. - The church pos sesses a splendid clock, with ponderous and complicated works, while a pendulum of proportionate length vibrates to and fro with a dull and monotonous " thud." Becently the clock needed cleaning, and the ringer was deputed to superintend the work, though he ruefully endeavored to be excused from the task. It seems that he never willingly ap proached the belfry, from certain nn pleasant associations. About twenty years ago he killed his predecessor in office, accusing him of carrying on a criminal intrigue with his wife. When brought to trial he escaped the gallows owing to a deficiency of legal proof. ire patronage ot one ot tne canons then procured him the appointment vacant througa the deatn of bis victim. Hence, it is said, arose his superstitious dread in connection with the belfry, which was supposed to be haunted by the ghost of tbe murdered ringer. . On the morning when tbe clock was to be cleaned it suddenly stopped, and the bell-riager was nowhere to be found. A workman from the town was sent for, ascended the tower, when he was horrified to find the pendulum and lower works dripping with blood. Upon searching further, the body of the bell-ringer was found entangled in the work, frightfully mangled and crushed. One supposition is, that he committed sni- j cide by climbing up the pendulum and then pitching himself into the middle of the machinery of the clock. But the wonder-loving gossips of the place, with a thoroughly German propensity for the horrible, declare that the guilty man, upon reaching the gloomy chamber wherein the works revolved, was horror-strickengby the apparition of his predecessor sitting astride the great balance-wheel of the clock, and had been drawn into the works by a species of horrible fasoination similar to that which the rattlesnake is said to exercise over its prey. There sat the spectre, rubbing his gory hands with hideous glee as the victim was slowly drawn in among tbe cogged wheels and ratchets of the machinery. An agonizing yell, a crushing of bones, and all was still! Such, accord ing to tbe Italie, is the newest legend of tne beltry ot wurtzburg. Miss Bella Ache was recently married at Council Bluffs. Iowa. It is thought sue wtu oe ail rignt in tne latnre. OHIO LEGISLATURE. Satcbdav, April 8.1, 1871. SKITATX. Prayer by Rev. G. W. Phillips. GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.

A Cincinnati correspondent of the New York iSus writes as follows : " There have been some sneers at our 'new departure' people, but the circle is one of pretty liberal circumference, tak ing in nearly all the Republican brains in onr midst. The work goes quietly on, leavening the whole State and the West It is no Becret tbat tbe uemrais nave a oommon bond of sympathy in their hostility to the President, whose renomina- tion they are bound to defeat. Free trade and civil service retorm are merely a cover. The real head of the circle is Stanley Matthews. He was a gallant of ficer in the war, and before that bad been Whis. Liberty man. and Democrat. If the Republicans are not losing their senses, they will nominate Matthews for Governor. There is of course no truth in the story which has been started that the Democrats are planning a coup d'etat by putting his name at tne neaa oi tiieir ticket to be nominated June 1. All bosh. Next to Matthews. the most active Cen tral is Thompson, a gifted young lawyer, who has a future in short, the rising vonng man of Ohio. He was at one time assistant rrosecuung Attorney oi tne ro lice Court, the only office he ever held. Besides his extensive law practice, he finds time to write trenchant editorials for the Commercial. He surpasses in wit and brilliancy even the field marshal's favorite, D. r. The sharpest tbings yon now see in tbat paper are eitber Xnomp son's or Halstead's own. Quite possibly, Stanley Matthews will have the place of John Sherman after the 4th of March, 1873, whether elected Gov ernor next fall or not. General J. D. Cox must also come in for a share somewhere. He would be a good man to run for Vice President on a ticket headed by Charles Francis Adams. At all events, yon may count upon that it 'Lyases' cake is dough. It will take something more than the set of office-holders he has here to get up a Grant delegation to the national conven tion from the Queen City. They are not the people's men. Lord Tenterden acted as Master of a Masonio Lodge in Washington Tuesday evening, and conferred the first degree oi Freemasonry npon two candidates ac eordin? to the English ritual, which dif fers in some details from the ritnal of the Distriot of Columbia. Earl de Grey, Grand Master ol England, was present. PERSONAL. There are several hundred postmis tresses in thejUnlted States, of whom the ladies at Siohmond, Leavenworth and Louisville get the best pay, $4,000 each. Two others receive $3,000, and twelve others over $2,000. The editor of the defunct Leavenworth Ttntft winds up his valedictory as fol lows: "The play is over and we are played. - May the nine hundred and ninety-nine curses of the Apocalypse seize jonrd deity. Amen." When eld Carlo sits in Sally chair, Oh 1 don't I wian that I was there ! "When her fairy Angers pat hie head. Oh 1 don't I wuh 'twas me instead ! When Sally's arms his neck imnriaon, Oh 1 don't I wish my neck was kfate ! When Sally kisses Carlo's note, Oh 1 don't I wish that I was those ! - An old gentleman named David White head fell dead suddenly at St. Paul last Sunday.. He was formerly a merchant at Somerset Perry county, Ohio, and Phil. Sheridan was a boyish clerk in his store for two years. . Mr. Whitehead was seventy-eight years old. . ; , "Quilp," of the Boston Fost, writes to show that he can write Chinese poetry as Well as Bret Harte. Hence this epigram : As onoe my ravished ereel set. Where JaUa neck aad baddies mat. She asked what I was seeking; There, that, said I, is that Nankin f (The lining or your dress, I mean.) No, sir; said she, that's f ekin ! Eeoently, at Memphis, Jeff. D vis re covered the Brigadier's commission which he received from President Polk in 1847. This document, with others, was lost to wards tbe close of tbe war. it fell into the hands of a Federal soldier, who sold it." The purchaser made a present of it to his sister, who restored it to the owner. There is more profanity in Congress just now . than at any former period in the history of that body. Senator Davis says Representative Butler is "a d d scoundrel;" a Now England Senator says President Grant is a d d fool;" and thus they go on constantly. It is no wonder that even Parson Brown low pronounces some of his contemporaries "a h 1 of a set of blackguards." On Thursday last, in the Court of Ses sions of New York, among the prisoners brought to the bar for sentence was a youth not more than eleven years of age. who had been convicted of theft. His mother and sister. the latter a little girl of nine years, were among the spectators. As the Justice was passing sentence, the little creature broke from her mother's arms and ran over to her culprit-brother, sobbing bitterly, and crying out beseech ingly, "un, judge, let my brotber go." Judge and spectators were deeply moved. and tbe former, nnable to resist tbe affecting appeal, said to her, "Take him witnyou,my little girl." Tne child, clinging to the boy, led him over to the mother, and all tnree lett tne court, in wbicb, at that moment, not a dry eye could be seen. Tammany has established a colored regiment in New. Vork, the members of which are all colored Democrats. The uniform is said to be of the most gorgeous description, and is described as follows: Uniform for staff officers, dark-blue pants, with broad gilt stripe ; dark-blue coat, cut close-bodied, also trimmed with gilt, and three rows of gilt buttons. Heavy gold epaulets are to be worn, and a chapeau - with white feather. Line officers will wear the same uniform, only moderated, and privates ditto, with the addition ot white leggings to the pantaloons, on which the gilt stripe will be quite narrow. Cross-belts and white epaulets will also be used. The hats to be worn by the privates are to be mod eled after the fashion of Fisk's famous command, and are to be decorated with white pompon. DIED.

There are not more than six inches of water over the track at any place. The Board of Aldermen of Louisville Lave unanimously passed an ordinance subscribing $375,000 in aid of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, extending the connection south by a lease of the .

The- stockholders of the Central Savings Bank, of Lonisville, recently closed on account of the irregularities of the Cashier, held a meeting on Saturday.

A St. Louis dispatch of yesterday says: At a late hour last night a fire was discovered it the tobacco factory of White & Errickson, on Clark avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets, and extended to the tobacoo factory of William C.

Errickson had some eighty or one hundred hogsheads of plug tobaeco in the factory, which was destroyed. The loss is sixty-thousand dollars. Woodson will Srobably lose about fifteen hundred ollars. The buildings were owned by Charles H. Peck, whose loss is about ten tbonsand dollars. The total loss is about one hundred thousand dollars ; insurance not yet known. PALACE STOCK. CABS. First Tkr(h Traia Frm St. Laals ta New V'ark Haw it all Works ia a "Leaker mm tm Veaice." (From the St Louis Bepublioan of April 311 The departure for New York yesterday of the first through train of Street's palace stock cars loaded with cattle, is an ' event worthy of note. . The train left Venice with 172 head of steers, purchased by Mr. Tucker, in Cooper county, Mis - souri, and shipped by Joseph Malhall. of i this city, to his brother, Frank Mulhall, of Communipaw, above New York city. The cars are arranged with separate stalls, separated by gates, which are closed as soon as an ox gets his plaoe, and these stalls are easily adinbtable to the size of the animal, so as to anora ampie room for lying down, and to rise up at wilL A bedding of shavings is strewn over the bottom, so that the animals have all the accommodations oi a firsi-class sleeping car to rest their bones. At the top of the car is a feed-box, with canvas spouts which communicate with the feed basins underneath; also a water-. tank, affording a supply of water, by which arrangement the cattle can be fed and watered during the transit without nnBhippicg. The ears are built some eight feet longer than ordinary stock ears, and in regard to the width, Mr. Mulhall expressed the opinion that experience will require them to be wider. Underneath are the passenger car truck, with elliptical springs and swinging bar, giving to the ear the same ease of motion as the regular passenger car, the advantages of : 'which are that the wear and tear will be j no greater, the ease of motion overcom-ing all evil effects of the sudden stopping and starting of the train. The stock train will run through to New York in ' uinety-eix hours, instead of consuming ten days as formerly, the animals being stalled, fed and watered without any unshipping. The cars from here pass ever the ; , Pennsylvania Company's lines, that Company having made a contrast for transporting cattle with the Street Palace Stock Car oompany. The latter company charges three dollars per head, royalty in advance to the usual freight, which royalty cover the additional expense of feeding, watering and cost of attendance. The advantages : are that stock will be delivered in les than one-half of the time consumed under the old method of stock -, - shipment, when four stoppsges had to be made for feeding, resting and watering. The cattle it is claimed, will now be de- ' livered at their destination free from bruises or losses by aeath, or being trampled upon, squeezed and hooked by their fellow passengers. The shipper can likewise calculate to an hour when his cattle will reach New York, so as to meet the most favorable market, which, eoupled with the saving from shrinkage, it is maintained that from - one-halt' to one and one-half cent per pound will be saved to the shipper. In connection with this, it may be mentioned that some capitalists and railroad men here are discussing the question of organizing a St. Louis company for manufacturing and operating this improved stock oar upon the different lines of railroad west of the Mississippi river extending into the great cattle regions of the West and Southwest and centering in St. Louis. The wsmea of coed society in New York do not smoke cigarettes or anything else after dinner, i ney aa not copy the eccentricities of the demi-monde in aiy Ti-tii-nlr. - At recention or dinner oartv one sometimes sees a pretty face flushed . . with too much champagne, but this is ' not universal. Tbat wherein they de- nAnilAmniLtinll is their evenino- dress, which is of a style to make one ask why they wear any waist at an. aat in spite of this fashionable abomination ivAAt. innocent and refined. having souls above cigarettes.

He will remain here as the guest of Senator Morton and lady until 10:30 to night, when he leaves for St. Lonis, by special train, over the Vandalia route. A publie reception will be given him at the Academy of Music this evening, at which addressee win be made by Senator Morton, Governor Baker, Hon. John Co- burn and others.

A few minutes before 8 o'clock the President, accompanied by Senator Morton, Governor Baker, Hon. John Coburn, Jndge Lawrence, of Ohio, and a number of dlitinguiahsd.gsn-tlemen, appeared on the stage. The President was greeted with applause. After music by the band, Hon. Conrad Baker, Governor, advancing to the stand, said: " "Fbixow-CitizkNS "We nave a tm wiA mm nm ara aware.

Applause. Senator Morton, taking the stand, addressed the audienoe at length. He said "Whatever may be said in the heat of partisan debate, it mnst be confessed by all that the Government of the United States is well administered; with ability, with integrity, and with patriotism. Not that I would say that everybody will agree with every measure or opinion of the Executive, but that the Administration, as a whole, is conducted with great ability and patriotism, is a fact that will be eonoeded by the historians who will write the history of this Administration and the timer. .. , -; "Under, this Administration, within twenty -five months and a half, $210,000,-000 of debt have been paid ; more than one-twelfth part of the entire debt. How has it been paid, as compared with the last Administration 1 Not by increasing taxation ; not by increasing the burthens; but by faithful and honest collection of the revenues, and by retrenchment and ' economy in every department of tne Government. In paying of that ssiu,-000,000 of pablio debt we have saved more than $12,500,000 - in annual interest, a saving that is to be continual, i During this time eighty-three million dollars in taxes have been taken off, and 1 if this Administration continues successful, and the laws -well and faithfully administered, a farther redaction of taxes can and will be made. It cannot all be done at once. It must be done considerately, and with referenoe to this debt that has got to be paid some time ; it must be done with referenoe to the carrying on of this Government; it must be successfully administered ; it must be done with reference to- a perfect preservation of the National faith; and as things are going new it will be in the power of Congress at 'the next session, to make another large reduction in pablio taia-ion." -i. In' referring to the future policy of the party, he said that the Bepnblican party eoad not afford to run off upon any one issue to the abandonment of others. It was national, and its policy most enforce the good ot the' whole country. It could not afford to make a distinct issue of tariff, the naval service, or any other individual issue. The policy of the Democratic party was to denounce all the Bepnblican party did, and the better the act done the more bitterly it was denounced. Congress had just passed a bill fat the protection .of life and liberty and prosperity, but it is denounced by the Democrats as. .unconstitutional. This was the old cry of the party ; they had denounced every measure passed by Congress to give peace and security to the South as unconstitutional. He believed the Kn-klux bill not only constitutional, but necessary. Other speeches were made till a late hour. President Grant left for St. Louis at 10:30 last night, in a special car. WASHINGTON.

A DEVOTEE HUSBAND. He RkMti Hiauelf mm his Wife's Death-Bra. White rater fWis.) correspondence Milwaukee Sentinel. I On Sunday morning last our citizens were pained to hear that Mrs. Foster, wife of William F. Foster and daughter of Salmon Clark, of this village, was dead, and soon after were startled by the report tbat Mr. Foster had shot himself. The facts are these : Some six years ago William F. Foster, a brother of George F. Foster, of Milwankee, was married to Carrie Clark, a beautiful and accomplished young lady of this village. They soon after removed to Chicago, where Mr. Foster went into business and where they have since resided. To the happy couple life was pleasant, and they seemed to live for each other and be happy in each other's love ; but, alas t misfortune oame By the fall of an elevator in his store at Chicago Mr. Foster was seriously injured, and for a time his life was despaired of. From the effects of this fall e never entirely recovered, but sufficiently, however, to attend to business. Sjou after this it became evident to the husband and friends of Mrs. Foster that the fell disease, consumption, was claiming her for its own. Everything tbat skill could do, or affection devise, wss done, but without avail. Finally Mr. and Mrs. Foster and her mother went to Florida, hoping that the climate there might ben efit her.'. This, too, failed, and the first of March she was brought back here, where she died on Sunday morning last. During all her sickness, Mr. Foster was unwearied in his attentions, caring not for himself, only for her. Her sickness seemed to prey upon his mind, and he was heard to say, "he cared not to live after Carrie's death, and that without her the world was naught to him," and it now appears that he bad made preparations to take his own life. Mrs (Foster, knowing she was about to die, and fearing the effect upon her husband, said to him, "Husband, had yon not better go into the other room 1" and almost immediately expired. Mr. Foster, who was very much affected, stood for a few moments, then said : "Is my darling wife deadT" and left the room. He returned, threw hsmself on the foot and side of the bed, crying, "I am coming, let me die by the side of my wife," placed the pistol against his person and fired. Mr. Clark, who was standing near the bed overcome with grief, hearing the cry, and seeing Mr. Foster throw himself on the bed, instantly seized him, bnt only in time to prevent the ball from going through the heart. It went through the left breast, lodging, it is thongbt, in the lung. There ie bat littl i hope of Mr. Foster's recovery. The entire community sympathize with the family in their double affliction. A CATHEDRAL CLOCK. The bell-ringer in the cathedral of Wurtzburg has perished under very singular circumstances. - The church pos sesses a splendid clock, with ponderous and complicated works, while a pendulum of proportionate length vibrates to and fro with a dull and monotonous " thud." Becently the clock needed cleaning, and the ringer was deputed to superintend the work, though he ruefully endeavored to be excused from the task. It seems that he never willingly ap proached the belfry, from certain nn pleasant associations. About twenty years ago he killed his predecessor in office, accusing him of carrying on a criminal intrigue with his wife. When brought to trial he escaped the gallows owing to a deficiency of legal proof. ire patronage ot one ot tne canons then procured him the appointment vacant througa the deatn of bis victim. Hence, it is said, arose his superstitious dread in connection with the belfry, which was supposed to be haunted by the ghost of tbe murdered ringer. . On the morning when tbe clock was to be cleaned it suddenly stopped, and the bell-riager was nowhere to be found. A workman from the town was sent for, ascended the tower, when he was horrified to find the pendulum and lower works dripping with blood. Upon searching further, the body of the bell-ringer was found entangled in the work, frightfully mangled and crushed. One supposition is, that he committed sni- j cide by climbing up the pendulum and then pitching himself into the middle of the machinery of the clock. But the wonder-loving gossips of the place, with a thoroughly German propensity for the horrible, declare that the guilty man, upon reaching the gloomy chamber wherein the works revolved, was horror-strickengby the apparition of his predecessor sitting astride the great balance-wheel of the clock, and had been drawn into the works by a species of horrible fasoination similar to that which the rattlesnake is said to exercise over its prey. There sat the spectre, rubbing his gory hands with hideous glee as the victim was slowly drawn in among tbe cogged wheels and ratchets of the machinery. An agonizing yell, a crushing of bones, and all was still! Such, accord ing to tbe Italie, is the newest legend of tne beltry ot wurtzburg. Miss Bella Ache was recently married at Council Bluffs.

Besides his extensive law practice, he finds time to write trenchant editorials for the Commercial. He surpasses in wit and brilliancy even the field marshal's favorite, D. r. The sharpest tbings yon now see in tbat paper are eitber Xnomp son's or Halstead's own. Quite possibly, Stanley Matthews will have the place of John Sherman after the 4th of March, 1873, whether elected Gov ernor next fall or not. General J. D. Cox must also come in for a share somewhere. He would be a good man to run for Vice President on a ticket headed by Charles Francis Adams. At all events, yon may count upon that it 'Lyases' cake is dough. It will take something more than the set of office-holders he has here to get up a Grant delegation to the national conven tion from the Queen City. They are not the people's men. Lord Tenterden acted as Master of a Masonio Lodge in Washington Tuesday evening, and conferred the first degree oi Freemasonry npon two candidates ac eordin? to the English ritual, which dif fers in some details from the ritnal of the Distriot of Columbia. Earl de Grey, Grand Master ol England, was present. PERSONAL. There are several hundred postmis tresses in thejUnlted States, of whom the ladies at Siohmond, Leavenworth and Louisville get the best pay, $4,000 each. Two others receive $3,000, and twelve others over $2,000. The editor of the defunct Leavenworth Ttntft winds up his valedictory as fol lows: "The play is over and we are played. - May the nine hundred and ninety-nine curses of the Apocalypse seize jonrd deity. Amen." When eld Carlo sits in Sally chair, Oh 1 don't I wian that I was there ! "When her fairy Angers pat hie head. Oh 1 don't I wuh 'twas me instead ! When Sally's arms his neck imnriaon, Oh 1 don't I wish my neck was kfate ! When Sally kisses Carlo's note, Oh 1 don't I wish that I was those ! - An old gentleman named David White head fell dead suddenly at St. Paul last Sunday.. He was formerly a merchant at Somerset Perry county, Ohio, and Phil. Sheridan was a boyish clerk in his store for two years. . Mr. Whitehead was seventy-eight years old. . ; , "Quilp," of the Boston Fost, writes to show that he can write Chinese poetry as Well as Bret Harte. Hence this epigram : As onoe my ravished ereel set. Where JaUa neck aad baddies mat. She asked what I was seeking; There, that, said I, is that Nankin f (The lining or your dress, I mean.) No, sir; said she, that's f ekin ! Eeoently, at Memphis, Jeff. D vis re covered the Brigadier's commission which he received from President Polk in 1847. This document, with others, was lost to wards tbe close of tbe war. it fell into the hands of a Federal soldier, who sold it." The purchaser made a present of it to his sister, who restored it to the owner. There is more profanity in Congress just now . than at any former period in the history of that body. Senator Davis says Representative Butler is "a d d scoundrel;" a Now England Senator says President Grant is a d d fool;" and thus they go on constantly. It is no wonder that even Parson Brown low pronounces some of his contemporaries "a h 1 of a set of blackguards." On Thursday last, in the Court of Ses sions of New York, among the prisoners brought to the bar for sentence was a youth not more than eleven years of age. who had been convicted of theft. His mother and sister. the latter a little girl of nine years, were among the spectators. As the Justice was passing sentence, the little creature broke from her mother's arms and ran over to her culprit-brother, sobbing bitterly, and crying out beseech ingly, "un, judge, let my brotber go." Judge and spectators were deeply moved. and tbe former, nnable to resist tbe affecting appeal, said to her, "Take him witnyou,my little girl." Tne child, clinging to the boy, led him over to the mother, and all tnree lett tne court, in wbicb, at that moment, not a dry eye could be seen. Tammany has established a colored regiment in New. Vork, the members of which are all colored Democrats. The uniform is said to be of the most gorgeous description, and is described as follows: Uniform for staff officers, dark-blue pants, with broad gilt stripe ; dark-blue coat, cut close-bodied, also trimmed with gilt, and three rows of gilt buttons. Heavy gold epaulets are to be worn, and a chapeau - with white feather. Line officers will wear the same uniform, only moderated, and privates ditto, with the addition ot white leggings to the pantaloons, on which the gilt stripe will be quite narrow. Cross-belts and white epaulets will also be used. The hats to be worn by the privates are to be mod eled after the fashion of Fisk's famous command, and are to be decorated with white pompon. DIED.
