perhaps a purer and more perfect state of things. There seems here to be a constant succession of exciting events, as soon as one is past, another transpires. A few weeks since two young ladies from Cincinnati on their way home into the country, sisters stopped at this place. One was a teacher the other a pupil a school there: they were under the charge of a young man also from Cin. The young girl was very sick on the passage and had enormous doses of restorative given her, was reported : to have the cholera so they were not permitted to land at Milwaukee as they wished because she seemed to be sinking so rapidly: they were humanely received at the 'Racine house' and every thing done for them: Mr. H. went to see them, liked their appearance much, in a few days the girl died, killed by medicine probably she had no physician here which probably provoked some of them, they were two boarding at the same public house - After her burial, two physicians, under the base pretext of having suspicions of her character, got by some means a legal warrant to make an examination, disinterred the body and dissected it in the night. Just after that, there was an event still more tragic. A young lady of good appearance came from Chicago, took a room at one of the hotels, soon began to be ill, became alarmingly so, physicians were called against her wishes: they charged her with having taken poison, which she reluctantly confessed: it was too late to save her; she had brought her shroud ready made, and fifty dolls to defray the expenses of a decent burial, not wishing she said to make any one any trouble. Mr. W. attended her sad funeral. She had been betrayed and deserted by a man to whom she was engaged and in her agony revived herself to march thus, coolly up to that dread deed. she was a member of the Methodist church.
