SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GIRL IN OnTO—R7fusal of Her Father's Oonsent to Her Murriage.— A: special dispatch to the New York Lume: from Cleveland, August 25, says: A peculiar and highly-sensational case of suicide oceurred in Middleburg township, in this county, this morning at 7 o'clock. Miss Hattie Gray was the daughter of a highly-respectable farmer named Morgan Gray. Before breakfast, and after the hired man had gone forthe cows, she asked her father’s consent to her marriage with the hired man, saying that she loved him better than any one else in the world. Her father utterly refused his consent, saying that the man, Richens by name, had_ no visible means of support. With this the father went about his work, He had not proceeded far with the ers of the cows when he heard a pistot shot, and ran to the house with the red man. They passed through several rooms in search of Haitie, but did not find any trace of her until the man’s bed-room was reached, and there her lifeless form was found stretched upon the floor. It seems that upon her father’s departure for the barn she had gone te her lover's bed-room and taken his revolver from a bureau drawer and shot herself through the heart. The ball entered her body just below the left nipple. The physician who was called thought that death must have resulted imme- diataly The lover and father are both nearly fistracted. Richens says that on a_holida} ride to Hooke River, a few days ago, he ‘asked her to be his wife, and, after saying that she feared they cou'd ‘not live happily together, he consented, but at the same time said that he might attend her funeral before her wed- ding. She was an intelligent and highly- respected girl. AN ARGUMENT FOR THE WHIPPING Post.— The fol.owing from the Washington, Pa., R2- porter, is a strong argument in favor of the whipping post: Why should a man who is drunk and troublesome upon the street be put into jail for thirty days at the public expense? Does it improve the man? Does it improve society? Is the education, afforded by a jail full of vagabonds and criminals of a character that will warrant its expense to the commu- nity? Would it not be wellto come back to first puiuelples and punish petty erim2s promptly by the whipping post, and work upon the streets? The a of keeping tramps and criminals for months in idleness, at the public expense, is in direct hostility to the best interests, morally, socially aud pacu- niarily, of socieiy. Let us try something else.

A rumor is current this week that Prince Louis Napoleon is about to be betrothed to the Princess Thyra of Denmark, the youngest | and sole unmarried daughter of ng Chris- tian, I cannot say I atiaeh much credence to this report, as this young ea! has already | been the subject of several on dits of the same | nature.

On Thursday afternoon the flourishing townsof Austin an Eureka were devastated by similar visita- tions. The damage was considerable in Eureka, the principal streets being torn up and property swept away on all sides. Great. consternation prevailed, as it seemed at one time that the entire town would be destroyed. Fortunately no lives were lost, although sev- eral narrow escapes are chronicled. The flood at Austin was a still more serious affair. Main street, whieh is the bed ef the canon, was almost in a moment turned into a roaring and resistless cataract of waters. The street w: torn up, buildings were washed down, and everything touched by the flood was borae down to destruction on its turbulent bosom, One life is reported lost.
