Singular Case of Female Ativetnure, De votion and Death. One of the 'most remarkable in stanceos of woman's attachment to man and heroism under adversity came to our notice to-day. To be. gin at the conmonoemont, we will state that. in 1860, a young lady in the city of Auburn, N. Y., the daugh ter of wealthy paronts, eloped with a yotng man named Niles, a railroad enginoer, and both proceeded to Cleveland, Ohio, and afterwards to Toledo. They were pursued by an infuriated brother of the young lady and in the latter place, to avoid do toetion, tafter the snarriasge ceremony haud beeni perfor med, the young lady arrayed horseltf in male attire. In this udis.guiso', and while selling ap pioe, slie passed her brother several tin..s on th la treet without recognition on his pat. Shortly afterward early in the~ war, the two wecnt south to Nashville, Tennessee, where Niles procured employmnent as a locothotive enginaeer, his wifto engaging as fire man, still keepling up her disguise.

A few monthsi later, the alleg eA gold dliscoveries at Mandockt, Caniada attracted them thither, and the wife accompanied .her husband, 'still in masculine garments. The vicissitundes of her career, oxposed to hardships and ace~idents, were too so yore, however, and a few weeks since sho died at. Cleveland, after a brief illnaess. Niles, who is now in this eity, is a man about 40 years of ago and does not refer to the heroic de' votion of his wife but in terms of the warmaest admiration, li Cen. Butler Steal a Negrd.
