Four Hundred Titled Americans The mat riiigo of Mrs. Ham merely, a wealthy .New York widow, to the duke of Marlbayough, an Eng¬ lish nobleman, calls attention anew to the marriages of A merman wo¬ men to titled foreigners. A news paper conespmidenti who has given some attention to tho subject, said recently that 400 American women, con quered by coats of aims, have brought wealth to titled husbands. This estimate as to number is pro¬ bably about correct for marriages of the sort alluded to have been quite frequent, Among tfio more notable may be mentioned that of Miss Jerome, of New York, to Lord Randolph Churchill. Ludv Churchill subsequently createdcquiie considerable a sionsa tion in England and gossip in this country by entering actively into nor husband’s canvas for parliament. Miss Eva Mackny married Fyippp Coloima, and her aunt Miss Hnngerford, had previously be¬ come Countess Telfner. A daughter of ex-Senalor Sharon married Lord Thomas Hesketh, and a daughter of David Dudley Weld married W Anthony Musgrave,. JUl®* Kltt y Mo ‘ Vickers, of Hew yorlr, became Lady Grautley; Miae Motley. otBottoa.be Lady Ilarceurt, and Miss Polk. came married Italian of Tennessee, baron.

However, the poor *to regard the exchange women seem of wealth for titles as a very fair one, and notwitiatanding the ot press, it is probable that foreigners with titles will continue to commond high prices in this country.

Tho immediate work of the mem¬ bers of tins ‘committee will be, to talk up tho project, interest tho peo¬ ple, and especially tho ladles, in it, to discuss with the citizens of thetr respective districts, the extent and variety of the exhibition, that can, and ought to be fpade, and to organ* ire working committees in their dis¬ tricts at once. The general comruitte, which was appointed the first Tuesday in June, met at ifio pourfi House on th > first. Tuesday in this month, tho proceed¬ ings of which meeting are published elsewhere.

W« cannot anticipate wlmt the general plan of conduct will he, but venture to any, tbit* it will probably consist of a collection of tho timbers of the county of all kinds, agricultu¬ ral products of eveiy .description, stock of all sorts, household and dairy products, all sortw of usefql *nd fancy articles made by the ladies, ores, if any can be found, such *rlU clcs of manufacture as are made in tho county, and in *hort, everything ruie, useful atu| ornamental.

F. A. WESTBROOK DEAD. Franklin A. .\Vostbrook, a wcl known citizen ot ’his county died on the 80th ult. Mr. Westbrook has uot had good health tor several years, but was able to work most of his time. On the day proceeding his death ho did an unusual hard days plowing, and at the close of the day ho ate a h?arty supper, and went to bed in as good health, apparently, as usual, ho rested well all night, sleep¬ ing soundly. Ho awoke early as he usually did, but uo sooner was he upon his feet than he was seen to fall, by his family, it was soon discov¬ ered that ho was speechless. The morning that he could not swallow There was no pain in the region of the throat and no enlargement, The throat, from some unacouutahle cause, was closed up, Shan began at once to loose flesh, and a surgeon in Fort Wuyne determined to per¬ form a delicate and difficult opera¬ tion. lie made au incision in the stomach, and the peritoneal cavity W*s perforated and a tube inserted. Inflammation did not set in, end since that time Shau has received all nourishment through this tube, to the end of which is attached a rubber hose, and the food is poo red into a funnel, The unfortunate fellow has no taste whatever and can take no solid food. He con¬ sumes a great deal of beer, whioli seems to give him strength. Occa* sionally the sufferer masticates meat or oread, which is put into the funs nel and washed into the stomach by milk or bear. Shan was in the Cin¬ cinnati haapUal for several days sufferiu-r from debility. His weight formerly was 150 pound*, which had been reduced to 98 pounds. He has a strong but somewhat hoarse voice, and his attenuated condition, young maa has no relatives in this country, and the physicians sav he will probably live only a short time. The case his uo parallel in the medi¬ cal annals of Cincinnati. An interesting experiment was recently in .do by Dr. Durand in reference to the relative power of inimaginution tu the two stsxos. He gave to 100 of his hospital patients a dose of sweetenisl water, and short¬ ly afterward entered the room, ups pnruntly greatly agitated, saving he had.by mistake admipis ored a pow¬ erful omoiio, In a few minutes four fifths of the subjects were alfectffd by the supposed em-tic, and were mainly men, while every one of those not affected were women. neighbors were called in and did all they could to relievo him, but to no purpose. Ho was in some respects a remarkable man, being near fifty, live \ ears of ago, bo has always lived and died in the same house in which he was born. Ho was known as an unusually good neighor, olton incon¬ veniencing himself to aocommodn|o others. Mr. Wostbrcol- went through tho entire late war, and was noted for his daaing and conragaous deeds Ho was at all times lull of life, when ho was angry he had tho habit of appearing .11 a good humor. Tho writer having known him fqr ton years, found him always ready to re. leive those in distressed circums'.an cos, if in his power to do so. Ho was a member of tho Methodist church, and lei us hope, as we do, that he is now resting in the pres enoo of his Heavenly Father, there to await the coming of loved oms left behind, A FpirjNn.
