It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the accidental death of Miss Maggie White, daughter of Col. Joseph White, en Sunday the 28th ult., near her fath er's residence, in the neighborhood of White's Store, in this county, and about thirteen miles from this towu. Miss White, in company with her father, two daughters of Mr John Bivens, and several young getitleuieu, one of them an ex-Confederate soldier, a htranger in the coun ty, who was stopping at the Colonel's house, whose horse Mias W. was riding, was on that day returning from Church. It seems that the horse of one of the Miss Bivens was very lazy, and would not keep up with the others. Oue of the young gentlemen, in the company, began to switch him, when he took off in a lope, aod as he reached the side of Miss W's. horse, the latter took off at a very rapid rate, apparently at a "run-a-way," the horses of the Miss Bivens iu company. When near her father's place Miss White was thrown from her seat, and her head coming in coutact with a tree, the skull was fiactured and her neck broken, death resulting almost instantly. One of the Miss Bivens was also thrown near the same place, and received some hurls but none very serious. Miss W. was a young lady highly esteemed for her intelligence and amiable qualities, and her unfortunate death has cast a gloom over a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Mr Winstead from the Committee on Propo sitions and Grievances to whom was referred the bill relative to building a Penitentiary and work houses, reported back, the same recom mending that it do not pass. House. Mr Hutchison introduced "a bill to incorporate the Trustees of the General As sembly of the Presbyterian Church in .the Uni ted States of America.'-' Placed on calendar. A bill to amend the 12th section of the 118th chapter Revised Code, was put' on its second reading. (Provides that widows dissenting from their husbands' wills, may take of hu per sonal estate as in cases or intestacy.) Mr McKay opposed the passage of the bill, jiu saw uu gooa reason- lor cnangtng the exist ing law, especially as the alteration proposed would operate to the prejudice of children by 1 I n ... - . ; giving the widow an undue proportion of the personal estate. i Mr Manly said that the gentleman from Har I nett had misapprehended the scope and object of the bill. The existing laws in cases of in- testacv. mvr to fh widow bn thara Kf 0De chid one half of the personal estate, but in cases 0f a dissent from a will, when there is but 0ne child, the law allows her but one third of the pers0nalty. He saw no good reason for making a distinction between the two cases to the widow's prejudice. r Hoke opposed the change contemplated la tuc '" The provision allowing the wife but one third of the personalty .when she dis- sents from the will, was in his opioion, just and reasonable. Some band's wishes. respect wag duo to the bus- Mr Smith, of Hertford, thought that as long as the law allowed widows to dissent-from th&ir husband's will full legal effect - should be given to such dissent by creating an intestacy as to her. lie- hoped the bill would pass. Mr Jenkins, of Warren, was not only in favor of the bill, but when the husband dies in testate, if the property came by the wife, he was in favor of giving her tho whole of it. Mr Moore, of Martin, thought that when the widow disseuts from the will, such dissent should have the effect of creating a virtual in testacy as to her. He was in favor of the pass age of the bill as reported. Mr Cameron, said the effect of the bill was to give the wifo one half of the personalty in cases of intestacy, instead of one-third when there is but one child. No change was contemplated when there is more than one child. . It was eminently proper that this change should be made. He concurred with the' gentleman from Martin, and was in favor of giving the widow the whole of the personalty when there were no children, and if he were Caiph of Bagdad such decree should issue immediately. (Laughter.) Mr McKay again addressed the House, in op position to the bill. He thought it would en courage dissents from wills and consequent liti gation, prejudicial alike to the widow and the children, as the costs would speedily absorb the personalty in questioti. The women were a dis senting class any way, and the tendency of the bill would be to foster the spirit of dissent, and 511 the Court House with caveats. Mr Hoke, asked leave after hearing the dis cussion, to take. ''the back track." He had thought at first that the bill would work injury to orphans. If it applied only to cases - where there was but one child, he should withdraw his objection and accord it his support. The bill passed its second and then its third reading under a suspension of the rules. .Q- i - - - - Repudiating the Flag. The House of Representatives has adopted the views of Mr McCullocb, whieh aae in hostility to granting the privileges of national registry to American vessels -which, duriog the Rebellion, were sold to foreign owners, or adopted a foreign flag. The argument is, that the owners of those ves sels, having deliberately repudiated the protec tion of the country during time of war, should not be allowed to return to that protection in time of peace. By their action they escaped the risks which those shipping merchants dared who would not "givs up the ship." The latter flew their flag, and were not intimidated by Reb el privateers. They paid for their patriotism also in heavy premiums on insurance, which their more crafty colleagues escaped by their subterfuge. The latter knew that the Jaws of their country denationalized these vessels, and what they did could not have Keen for want of reflection. On the otftr band, it is-urged that the United States Government, having failed ! to protect American commerce, was in fault, and drove ship owners into the course which ! to submit to the risk of loss or indulge in strat-! egy. The arguments seem to be very fairly balanced, but the lower House of Congress has adopted the views of Mr McCulloch. 1 Vi ila- i T To u;;v t, Hon. W. W.

As the lady open-' ed her door she alsUucily saw a man underneath her bed. What could she do ? Her servants were far away and could not hear if she scream ed for help, and even if they had come to her assistance those three weak women were no match for a desperate housebreaker. How then did she act ? She trusted in God. Quietly she closed the door, and locked it on the inside, which she was always in the habit of doiner She then leisurely brushed her hair, and putting on her dressing gown, she toQk her Bible, and fat down and read. She read 'aloud, and chose l . i i i j i- r ' . st i a chapter which had pecuhor reference to God s 1 . . , watchfulness overus, and constant care of us by night and by day. hen it was finished she knert and prayed at great length, still uttering her words aloud, especially commending herself and servants to God's protection, and dwelling upon their titter helplessness and dependence up on him to preserve her from all dangers. At last she arose from her knees, put out her can dle, and lay down in bed, but she did not sleep. After a few minutes had elapsed, she was con scious the man was standing by her bedside. He addressed her and begged her not to be alarmed. "I came here," said he, "to rob you, but after the words you ha-vc read, acd the prayer you have uttered, no pawer on earth could induce me to hurt you, or to touch a thing in your house. But you must remain perfectly quiet, and not attempt to interfere with me. I shall now give a signal to my companions, which they will understand, they will go away, and you may sleep in peace, for I give you my sol emn word that no one shall harm you, and not tue smallest thing belonging to you shall be dis turbed." He then went to the window, opened it, and whistled softly returning to the lady's side (who had not spoken or moved) he said, "Now I am going. Your prayer has been heard and no disaster will befall you." He left the room and soon all was quiet, and the lady fell asleep, still upheld by that calm and beautiful faith and trust. When the morning dawned, she awoke, we may feel pure that she potfred out her thanksgivings and praises to Him who had defended her "under his wfngs." and "kept' her "safe under his feathers' so that she was not ' afraid of any terror by night. The man proved true to bis word, and not a thing in the house had been taken. O ! shall we not hope that his heart was changed from that day forth, and that he forsook his evil courses, and cried to that Saviour "who came to seek and to save that which was lost," and even on the cross did not reject the penitent thief '( From this true story let us learn to put our whole trust and confidence in God. This lady's courage was in deed wonderful; but "the Lord was her defenso upon her right hand," and "with Him all things are possible ? Monthly Packet for October. We have received an extract from a letter fully corroborating the remarkable anecdote of "The Lady and the R'obber" in our October number, and adding some facts that enhanced the wonder and mercy of her escape. We quote the words of the letter : "In the first place the robber told her, that if she had given the slight est alarm or token of resistance, he was fully de termined to murder her j so that it really was God's good guidance that told her to follow the course she did. Then, before he went away, he said, "I never heard such words before; I must have the book you read out of," and carried off her Bible, willingly enough given, you mny be sure. This happened many years ago, ind only comparatively recently, did the Lady hear any more of him. She was attending a religious meeting in Yorkshire, where after several noted clergy and others had spoken, a man arose, stat ing that he was employed as one of the book hawkers of the Society, and told the story of the midnight adventure as a testimony, to the won derful power of the word of God. lie conclud ed with "I was the man." The lady arose from her scat in the hall, and said quietly, "It is all quite true ; I was the lady," and sat down aain. 8?
