Loti'i Labor Lost?A Fact. About two year* ago, a young mo chanio, a resident of thia city, fell desperately in love with the daughter of a widow lady, reputed to be rich, and he was made to believe that his ardent attachment was fullv reciprocated by the voung lady?hut tnt mother would not hear of her daughter marrying a nun of no fortune. Seeing how matters stood and not wishing to place his beloved in a nition below that which she had always d, he resolved to seek his fortune in the golden regions of California. With an ambitions spirit, and almost bioken heart, he bid adieu to the idol of his soul. She assured him that on his return, let him be successful or not, she would still bo his, and his alone. That she was satisfied of bis devoted love for ber?and as that was all she asked from the man she would give her heart to, she would marry him if bo returned in rags. He had not been in San Francisco more thaw two months, when he received a letter from an intimate friend, which almost crushed his ambition and set him on arack. The letter stated that the lady L - V- t J ... ?uu ue ioTeu was a nearness coquette? that she waa at all the balls and routs of the season?and intimated that a certain voung merchant of Beaver street was a favored swain at the house, dec. Her letters to bim, however, betrayed no falling off of attachment on her part, but breathed the sentiment of honest and pure love. Still he was resolved to try her faith, and Ire hilly convinced of her love for him and satisfy his mind as to whether it waa the wealth he was accumulating there, that w.ssto l?ad her to the altar, or whether she loved him for himself alone. Ho commenced writing home disparingly, cori>plained of had losses, illness, and assured his beloved and her anxious mamma, that California was not the El Dorado that many snpjtoscd it to be. He spoke of h's undying love, of his inability to stay away from all that was dear to him on earth. Her letters grew liko angels'visits, few and f?r between, and t>no even hinted that New ?ork was even worse than California and advised him to s ays, until, as Ma wruciDo^ii, Buineimng turns up. i This rather convinced him how affairs were, and in a few months after, bo returned.. His look betrayed care and sick- i nois, and his friends wore all sorry to see him return so broken in health and so poor in pocket. On his arrival he visited tho house of the woman who had pledged herself to bo his wife in hoalth or in poverty?but alas! his reception was anything but that of a lover's. He felt it, but urged his suit?spoke of honorable competence being obtained by hard labor and economy ?and after assuring her of his unaltered lovo offered her his hand, and implored her to remember her promise to him, and become his wife. She refused! Begged him, to think of her no more, and told him to find some one more worthy of him than her, and in conclusion sent her mother to talk to him. The mother pleaded ignoranco of her ever knowing that ho aspired to her daughter's hand, and contended that the match would bo preposterous, and bIio felt certain tliat be could find girU enough in his own sphere of life that would jump at his offer. He left the house fully satisfied of the heartlessness of the world, and woman in par ticular. It was sad reality to him, but he proved a man under the trying circumstances. f "What was the name of the young I man who had such a notion after Caro- < line, and who went to California two ' years, and returned by the Ohio! He i was a tall, fine looking follow, with blue ' eyea and light hair, rather llorid com- i plexion, wasn't he?" asked the young lady's ( uncle a broker in Wail street, one evening I whilst at his sister's. t "Why, what of him? the fellow! to think s we wanted him rags and all 1" answered (J the mother. r UI don't know," returned the uncle, "if s it be the man or not, but I was told rather <1 neeringly it was.

Dr. Hines. On last Monday the citizens of Girard waited upon a man of the above name, and gave him notice to loave the town within one hour. Every citraeu supposed him connected, in some .way with the incendiaries that wero attempting to burn up Cohrmbus, therefore waited on the hero, of many villainies, at his quarters, Moore's hotel and gave him inducements to retire. He protested, but finally, prudeuce forced him to leave for Columbus. The citizens of that place followed suit with Girard, and bo was summarily expelled. Late on the evening wo met this distinguished gentleman a few iniles below Girard, but at first not recognizing, wo wero on the eve of passing, when onr horse became . fractious before the carriage containing the renegade, and both parties were stopf? d. \\ e held a conversation with Dr. 1., in which wo could ascertain little in regard to his future plans, lie endeavoring " to evade many questions.

We hope this is the last time that Mr. Moore will admit such men to his bed and ' board, as they need watching, and should ' not receive the countenance of anybody, ' much less Hotel keepers, because, no man ? takes pleasure in notifying the customers of nny House to leave but when the public safety demands, and the Landlord fails to dismiss said lodger, an incensed people have to adopt means of self preservation.

It appears that a young man from ll'inois named Wilson, arrived in this city on the * Saturday evening boat, on his way to Texas ? whither he was going for the improvement t of his health, which was very bad. having ? been brought on by his plunging headlong into dissipation, in conse<|iicr>c ? of a young lady t ? whom be had been engaged disc ant- , ing liiiu. She had been prejudiced against him by another female, in revenge for some 1 fancied injury, but her falsehood was diseov- | ered by the young lady, though too late, for f her lover had departed,leaving no intimation of his destination. This was in January last, since which time he h is been a broken" hearted wanderer. As it happened the young ' lady accompanied b\ her brother, were at ^ the Salvador House nt tile time of Wilson's $) arrival, and the three were under the same t roof nlti'ougli they were not aware of it.? tj On Sunday morning. Wilson recognized Ira ; former love, while at breakfast, and immediately in u tit of doHparuliou drew a dirk arid f plunged it into his heart. In the confusion which ensued, the young lady recognised her former lover, and understanding the whole v atf.ur nt a glance, she rushed to hia aide, and before she could be prevented, seised the bloody knife, and gave herself threw ghastly wounds in the breast, one of which it is t thought will prove fa id, although she was still living on Sunday night. Wilson was |{ buried yesterday." .

'( old Crushiso.?At the Now York Nortv Works on Friday, the experiment of ducing two tons of gold quartz ore, by erdan's crushing and amalgamating ma* line, was made. The time occupied in dog it was two hours, and the produce in aid was ft 175?or 1187.50 l?er Ion. Tho re was taken from the Don* mines of South arolina " Tho specimens of sold ofe Mentioned jovc, were sent on, wo snppon, by tho cw York Company which has commenced pcratiohs here, for the purpose of testing ic powers of some of the Northern crush:, iff machinery. This Company wo learn, us leased oue of the Dorn mines, for tho rm of live years, paying $30,000 and half r the profits, They have erected very powJ rful machinery, capable of grinding several undred bushels of the oro daily, nnd which now in successful operation. With a few nnds, Mr. Dorn, during the past year, dug Imut ?1,000 of tho ore daily, and grinding ut fifteen bushels a day, realized more than 1 (5,000. The stock of this Company rouiises to prove a profitable investment ; ud we learn was bought up instantly when ffered for sale in tho New York nnrkct. Mr. Dorn, however, is tint the ouly fortuate possessor of a gold mine. Mr. William IcCaslan, near Patterson's Bridge, has a line on his place, for which ho was offered 115,000 some time since, hut preferred workig it himself to selling at that price. He is Iso interested in a mine upon an adjoining lace, belonging to Mr. Link, which ho and ovcral others have leased for ?1000 nnd ne-tcnth of the profits. These gentlemen re making arrangements to obtain machine. v from tho North. A friend who was in iuit neighborhood a few days ago. informs s that ho saw some very rich spielniens rom those mines. One piece of rock exibifed a particle which was worth at least 51.00, and others when erused and washed ielded a very r,ch gold deposit. Encourged by the success of these gentlemen, tliers in the neighborhood are about mat ug explorations upon their own plantations; nd we have iio doubt hut that many of them lill be rewarded with like success. Tile atural appearance of tho country, in differnt sections, would indicate a gold regiOr. lay fortune smile upon the efforts of these [cntlunien, and should they succeed in beaming the possessors of rich mines, wo rust that they will exhibit the liberal spirit f Mr. Dorn, who has used his wealth as , means of relieving tho embarrassments of lis neighbors, and advancing tho public And enevnlent institutions of tho day." man, who marries now a days, tldrrics a groat deal. lie not only weds liniself to A woir.Hn, hut a laboratory of irepared chalk, a quintal of whalebone. coffee four baskets of >ne poodle ninl a lot of weak nerves lint will keep four servuiit-^ir's ami thrpo looter.* around the lionao the whole time. iVhcthcr the fun pays for the powJcr i* a natter of debate.
