'Ile did tell me that I could marry only Lord Palsgrave with his consent,' replied she, with a blush. Do you intend to drag all this mat- ter into the court?' demanded Mr. Overton. Undoubtedly ; and we intend to ex- amine Mr. Overton's will very critically, especially that part of It relating to the consent of the guardian to Miss Dorn - wood's marriage. We believe it has beeu tampered, with.' Mr. Overton appeared to be stunned by this declaration. Doebtless, like all other evil -doers, he supposed that his deeds were entirely covered, and that no one suspected him of anything wrong. He was unable to regain his self-possession, and Mr. Bayard re -stat- ed the grounds on which he proposed to proceed. 'I will resign,' gasped he, at last, after his wife had whispered in his ear. That is the most prudent step you could take,' added the lawyer. I wish you to understand that I do not resign because I have done any- thing wrong, but because I do not wish to have myname connected with a bank robber. I did not know what he was.' You can put any constraction you please upon your own conduct,' said Mr. Bayard. It will be necessary for you to render an account ot' all your ex- penditures as the •guardian of Miss bornwood, and deliver her phoperty into the hands of your successor,' . 'That's a gratituous insult,' replied the guardian. But a, time was fixed for the transac- tion of this iraportant business, and Mr. Overton agreed to be present with his resignation. He and his wife departed sadder and wiser than they came. As there was no doubt in the minds of any of us that he had intended. to rob his ward of the greater portion of her for- tune, we ata not pity him. Waddle devoted. himself assiduously to Miss Dornwood during the rest of our stay at Mr. Pinkerton's and it was quite late in the evening when we re- turned to Middleport. The next day we went up the lake again, and Waddle sailed the Raven down to Centreport. After this we went down the lake as far as Ruoara *about every day. At the end of a fo, tnight, however Mr. Pink- erton and Miss Dornwood went to her residence to attend the proceedings at the Surrogate Court, Waddie consented to finish the vacation with me in the apper welters of the lake. Tommy Toppleton went with us this time; Tom Walton was again able to take his place at the helm, and. we had a splendid time. We were obliged to attend court at the examination of the bank robbers, who were fully committed for trial. Subsequently they were convicted, and sentenced: to twenty years in the peni- tentiary. . °Allow me to remind you again, sir, i Provincial le nil surveyor) that I am her legal guardian.' .1: , ''One doorsouth of r..T.

'Perhaes it would; will leave that matter in the hands of the lawyers. Certainly, if the young lady were not absolutely vicious, the moral sense of the community would not justify either father or guardian in the use of force.'

L her will to be the mw?' She is entitled to be consulted. But here she homes, and she may speak for herself. The gentlman with her is Mr. Bayard, her legal adviser and mine.' Miss Dornwood, attended by Wan - die and the lawyer, entered the library. Mr. and Mrs. Overton 'bowed coldly as they entered. The young lady Was very much embarrassed, and seated herself as far from her guardian as the size of the r( ten would permit. Mr. Pinkerton informed the legal gentleman what had thus far transpir- ed. Mr. Bayard, who by this time fully understood the subject, explained the lave and said that Miss Dornwood could petition the Court of Probate and th di n and Inn% BISSETTS' Livery and Sale Stables, (In connection with the Central Hotel). 1:„4..,...441-ii:44L,VL4n•,_...., 4 it WV 110010 time before Captain Sheet l'ertv,„i" Walton Wee in condition to take the ese, lzehn, ---------wne xcid, Ile went all A DEADLY DEED BETWEEN A LAWYER ANA sever the Ile tshee aim SCION OF AN ANCIENT EANIILY---TilE S° Yellenere`fooling me ell' the' elate QUARREL THAT LED TO THE (MALLEN- 'Wolf,' said, he. 4 ,BuOtt Pala 4104Wail DEE'0 DEAY11. neilt for Captain Portuilen" ; • So she eves; but tes 4,(4as vaeher Tete in the stetson ler was kind enough to let'the colonel have her, and another.

Tom aesisted the ladies on board of the new boat, and then stepped on deck himself. We walked about the beautiful craft, and the skipper examined everything with a critical eye. Passing down the forehatah, we entered the cook -room, which was fitted up with every conveni- ence. I should like to be cook on board the Banshee,' said Tom, as he examin- ed the appointments. Wouldn't you ratherbe the skipper I asked. Perhaps I would, but I never expect to go skipper on such a nobby yacht as this.' Possible you might,' I added, as we passed into one of the two state -rooms which occupied the middle of the vessel. 4 -What's this for? This is the captain's room.' First rate,' said Toni, with enthu- siasm. We went into the other state -room, and then passed into the main. cabin. which was large enough to contain four berths. The floor was richly carpeted, atid the table was provided with. racks and water Ditcher. There was an abundance of lockers and closeta, which Were stockea with dielnes saalestoree_ Rich hangings partially concealed the berths, and everything wasats luxuri- ous as the parlour of a gentlemaa's house. Tom gezed with admiration and delight at the ele,gant apnointmente of the cabin. By this time the entire company had assenabled in this stately apartment, and all of them were watch- ing Tom. No one noticed any of the rest of us. Why, they are getting her under way,' said Tom. Hadn't we better be off?' Not just yet,' I replied. 'But I'm afraid the Belle will be in - her way.' It's all right ;' and I proceeded to point out the conveniences on board of the yacht. In a few moments we heard the rat- tle of the jib, and the Banshee was off. I think we will go on deck now,' I continued. Why, she she's off now 1' exclaimed Tom, springing to the steps. Where's tne Belle?' She is moored all right, Toni, I in- terposed. The ladies have concluded to go in the Banshee if you will take the helm.' 0, this was the •game—was it?' laughed Toni. I didn't see how you expected to carry fourteen in the Belle. I'll take the helm, and glad of the job.' All the party followed him to the standing-rootn. Joe Poole had the helm. There were also twe men on the .forecastle, coiling up the jib -halyards. Here, Toni,' I interposed, as he was about to take the helm from Joe Poole.

Certaiuly Tom could not have been bet- ter suited if he had been consulted. He pate very grateful, and ier modest, nning tne regard of all on board. We sailed up to the Cataraet House, where the company dined; after which the excursion was continued to the head. of the lake. All had a splendid time ; a,nd, as Grace Toppleton was present, it was one of the huppy days of a lifetime to rae. We landed Miss, Dornwood a,nd her friend at &wars, and came to anchor off Middleport be- fore dark, The Banshee was immediately in gr aat demand. Applicatious for her came from every town on the lake; and when the season closed, Tom had mon- ey enough to pay, it quarter down on a house for his mother. Joe Poole ran the Belle when a skipper was needed by her party, and half it dozen rew-boats added to Tom's income. One af his bro- thers attended ta the letting of the boats and the next season Tont did a large business. The family, by the exertions of Tom was now on the high road to prosperity. (From the liew Orleans 'rime.) AbOUt two week a ago there wee progress of trial before Judge Collura, ef the Fifth Dietriet Court, the ease of Madam Olympe-, the ,Canal street `mod- iste—vs. Mr, Aristide Bleuvend, where, in plaintiff claimed a sum of inoney for toillinesy and dress -making account contracted by Mrs. Blenvean, and upon he close the latter proceeded to the cletins.effice, whither Mr. Philips dir- ectly following, he was istaiightsvay met by the lady, who from upbraiding him for the course, he had pursued in the ease; involvinn 'alleged attachment on her herses and carriage, drifted into is violent abuse,. which, embodied 'the epplication to, Mr, Phillips of all the unpleasant epithets in the calendar,and to which Mr. Phillips made the re- sponse that his assailant being it wom- an, he could offer no resentment, but that he would notify her husband that he met restrain such exhibitions.. Leaving then the office for the court room to place the matter before Mr. Blenvenu. he met that gentleman on the threshold of the door, coming to- ward him, and to him said: "Mr. Went- venu, your wife has groesly insulted me, and I desire to prevent any further re- petition of such conduct." To this Mr. Blenvenu repEed "11 my wife has insulted you, she has done just right, and I myself will'take occa- sion to ninth you still more." No sooner did he utter these words than Mr. Phillips, provoked beyond endur- aace, knocked Mr. Blenvenu down, at which Mrs. Blenvenu made a rush at Mr. Phillips with intent to attack him, but being at once prevented by bystan- ders committed no damage. Mean - wild°, Mr. Blenvenu rising to it sitting posture, made a movement as if to draw a weapon, but those standing by re- strained his movements in that direc- tion—Mr. Phillips standing his ground quietly, but making no effort beyond his first blow. He then left the apartment, as did the other parties shortly there- after. The result of the episode transpired yesterday in a duel to the death. Mr. Blenvenu sought the assistance of two friends, a challenge was passed and accepted, Saturday, April 4, named as the date, shot guns and bell as the weapons, forty paces as the distauee, Clover Pooh!

The Union Line is still a unit. The Lake nhore Railroad does a large business.

Miss Dorn - wood that -was Mrs. Wimpleton that is, lives there, of course, and is highly es- teemed by everybody in town, and not only as an elegant lady, but as a useful and benevolent woman. By the side of this house is another, occupied by Mr. Thomas Toppleton, for his lady desired to live near her mother and brother; and it was whispered her husband thought his chances of being sent to Congress from the district in which Centreport was situated were better than in the one to which Middleport be- longed, At any rate, Tommy has poli- tical aspirations, awl is a, rising man, and I am only sorry that I shall not have the opportunity to vote for him when he is nominate& On the other side of the lake, be - ween the mansion of Major Toppleton and the shore, stands what I regard ate a very nrettv house.

It seems that the introduction of steam in England as a motive power for the tillage of the soil, is resulting very extensively in the abandonment of the furrow system of culture, and the substitution for it of a system of soil stirring, similar to that produced by the subsoiler. In other words the steam plough is bringing about die ab- olition of ploughing. In all stubble and fallow work, a deep tined grubber or cultivator is used instead- of the share,. and the son is torn sena and loosenea, where it lies. By tfinhatans, the chief advantages of sleep ploughing are se- cured without their attendant evils. The soil is opened to the aceion of the air and moisture, is well drained and protected Kitimat draught, vsitlioat the richer surface soil being buried away out of reach of the intheence of: sun and eir, and of contact Wien plant roots. It is a common sense aucl effective system of cultivation, and one which le worthy CHAPTER •XXVI. 'Winn boat's that ?said Tom Walton to me, as we walked.

The' principals appeared to be unexception- ably cool, calm and collected. The weapons, double-barrelled shot -guns, were duly loaded with ball by the se- conds, and the principals were placed in position. Mr. Du Bertrand then briefly stated the terms of the cartel, which stipulat- ed that the combatants should stand with their weapons held in such it man- lier that the muzzles should be pointing to the ground; that the words should be, "Gentlemen, are you ready?" that silence should be interpreted into con- sent, when the words, "fire, one, two, three," would be given ; that they could raise their weapons and fire after the word "fire," and before the word e three.' Mr. Du Bertra,nd gave the manner in which the Word was to be given, which was done in as rapid a manner as the cireumstauces of the case would permit, evidently with the hope of the gentleman if possible to prevent bloodshed. Real work now began; the question was asked," Gentlemen, are you ready?" Silence gave consent, and the fatal words, "Fire 1 one 1". were given. At the word one. Mr. Phillips delivered his fire, and almost simultaneously, but perceptibly fefterward, Mr. Blenvenu's gen was discharged, and lie fell deed, shot through the brain The word two was not given, as both .parties had dis- charged their weapons, and one lay, a bleeding, lifeless corpse, the other stan- ding at his post until permitted to re- tire.
