It seems thi fome ten days ago a Miss Louisa Ross, a Gaughter of James Ross, who resides about’ a mile and @ half from Beaver creek, in this county, left home, stating that she was going to see Dr. Fleming, who resides in Leitersburg, and nothing more was heard of ber until she was found ip an assignation house ip his town. She remained there several days, complaining of having chills and fever,andon Monday = noon, at 3 o’clock, she died. The coroner, Mr. Jacob A. Wright, was notified, there being ru- —- meetings, and will meet in at 10 o'clock to-morrow morn- ing. A number of witnesses have been ex- amined before them, but mo evidence has been elicited to show that the rumor referred to above was correct. There will be about twenty or twenty-five witnesses examined to-morrow, that number having been summoned. The physi- cians who made the post mortem examination have not yet reported, but will do so to-morrow after they have been put in possession of certain Tacts which will enable them to arrive at a con- clusion as to the cause of death with greater certainty. Should the verdict of the coroner's jury implicate any one, they will be Promptly arrested, and it is believed that the law will be rigidly enforced.

Woolem Goods.—The demand was irregular during the week, and was checked somewhat by the an- propitious weather; yet flannels and blankets were in spirited request, and fancy cassimeres, although quiet at times, were largely distrib- uted, and black beavers and repellents were quite brisk. Jeans and satinets were taken more freely, but the ruling prices continued low and unremunerative. It appears by the avalytical tablesof the weck that manufactures of silk were actually imported to an amount in excess of last year, while the market is posi- tively glutted with such fabrics, which are ready being forced into the auction room: large quantities. Under these circumstances it is not to be wondered at that silk have been to long unprofitable, and if this course of over-importation is persisted in, the demoral- ization of the market, which was such a prom- inent feature of the spring trade, must con- tinue.—N. ¥.

"Bir. Willis made desperate efforts to save his family, but the flames having cut off communication with the room in which were sleeping, he found this impossible, an was compelled to save his own life by leaping from the window with his youngest child, whom he man: to seize. Reaching the ground however, he ¢ell upon some burning deteis, amd in 80 doing lost his hold upon the child, who fell back into the flames, and, like the others, was burned to death. Ali the charred remains + ere subsequently recovered. The animus agai Willis on the part of the brothers Cook is said to be due to the fact that on the Saturday pre- vious Mr. Willis had testified against Charles Cook, who was examined on that day on the charge of stealing twelve dollars.
