The gentleman then being aatiafiied that the girl was his own niece, disclosed his own name. Victor Provost. He had escaped from prison when a young man, having been incarcerated by the Bourbons about the time of the sojourn of Louis Napoleon in America. He fled to this country and settled at Wilkeabarre, Pa., where he now lives in afluence, being interested in large coal and iron tracts in that locality . It is hardly necessary to state that neiee needed bat little persuasion to accompa ny her uncle home. The romance of her story is increased by the fact that Mr. Porvoat has a son, who is a very promis- ... i ing young man, ana tnat nc immeotaieiy became fascinated with hie newlv-found coasin. The old gentleman is in ecstacy at thf turn things have taaen, ana mi resolved that his son shall marry the girl soon as it is possible to gel ready for f re so momentous an occasion n courc young Provost has accepted this proposi tion with much joy, and orders lor a mag nificent bridal trousseau are now beiug filled by parlies in New York for the for tunate girl who, but little more than a week ago, was a peunileas steerage pas senger in an emigrant ship.

VENGEANCE OF THE LAW Edgefield is known as the fighting district of Sonth Carolina. Murders are common there. The criminal docket of this county, which had not been disposed of for some time, has just been finished up. by Judge Car peeler, who pronounced ibe following sentences: -.Thomas Podgeit convicted of murder, seneeneed to be exe cuted on the 29th of may ; Henry Kil crease, for murder, sentenced to be exe cuted on the 22d of may ; Patrick West, for murder, sentenced to be executed en ibe 5th of June ; John Mitchell, for mur der, sentenced to be executed on tbe 3d of July. This reminds one of the "bloody assises, of tn gland, when the creel Jeffreys con vened the sword of justice into a hatcher knife, whith which to destroy the objects of hia wrath : With this difference, how ever, that ia Edgefkld only plain justice is executed, and no pereeeeueu oi crim inals.
