8 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, MARCH 1, 1871). A Terrible Struggle. This world full of Inolilonts of trouble, danger nod death, but none lire more striking in their dotall of horror than those which are associated with jealousy, tlmt most uncontrollable of all passlona. Hero is an Incident which actually, occurred along the track of the Pennsylvania railroad, near Forster street, in front of the open lot of that vicinity. A man and hls wife had had a serious difficulty owing to his disposition to pass bis time In company into which no married fman ought to go.

A week ago the woman shadowed him, and discovering bis baunt of lllioit pleasure, ran him down and Confronted bim in bis lawless and faithless career. While they were on their return home, and when passing aloug at the point we indicate above, they quarreled furiously, the woman bitterly reproaching ber truant husband, and the wicked wretch retorting with charges in kind, he suddenly beoame transported with rage, seized her by the throat, and attempted to shove tier under a freight train then thundering by. The woman fought with a desperation that was increased la fury as she thought of ber ill treatment, grasping bor murderously inclined husband around the body aud declaring that if he should throw her under the train she would drag bim with her. It was a sceno of horror and intense agony for the poor wife. Her husband was made demoniao by guilt and drink, aud for a moment seemed bent on big desperate purpose, but the wild struggles of his horrified wife, and his cowardly heart shrinking from sharing the death which she held bim with cool resolution to meet, deterred bim from his act, and the train passed on.

The ruffian then turned on his wife and began to beat her with renewed fury, rolling her in the snow, dragging ber over the ice and trnmpling upon her, when the approach of a put an end to the fracas. As the womau described the terror of the scene to ber friends it must have been one of the most terrible through which any woman ever passed, and can well be related as one of the many incident of horror which are coupled with the jealousy of a desperate woman and a guilty man, Jlairiaburg Telegraph, Vagon and Coffin Upset. Saturday a week while an apprentice boy of Mr. Henry Everhart, undertaker, of Manchester borough was on bis way with a coffin in a wagon, from that town to Wbite'B ferry, on the Susquehanna, be undertook to go along a back road; some parties met him and warned him that the road was very icy, and almost if not totally impassable. The boy, however, persisted, and undertook the difficult passage.

The road passes along the side of the river bills, and slopes off very suddeuly at places, and has a descent to valleys of some feet. There was a man with the boy, and both got out of the wagon, one leading 1 the horse, and the othor tried to keep the wagon on the road. As they continued their course beame every moment more perilous, and finally the hoi Be and wagon slipped from the road, and they were compelled to, (et go, so as to save themselves; the horse wagon and coffin went sliding over the icy declivity. In the descent the animal lost a pair of shoes. Strange to say, neither the wagon nor coffin were injured.

After the Arrival of the above at the bottom, they hastened after them and adjusted affairs. Another horse was procured and they continued upon their mission. York Democrat. Mr. John Steward, a farmer resid ing on Sugar run, Blair county, while walking behind bis wagon was startled by the sharp repot of a rifle and the stinging sensation of the ball that grazed his forehead.

From the ascending smoke he discovered the assassin was concealed in a thicket near the road. He made no mention of the attack on his life, but since has found a notice on bis fence stating that the next ball would be sent with better a.ra and into his bead. As he is a Christian man who desires to barm no person, be is at a loss to know the reason bis life i i to be taken. The decline in rents in aud about London, is a feature of bard times that is attracting considerable attention, and shows that not only has there been a fancy price to property there for years, but that prices have been more fictictious there than with us. From the London "Times" wo loarn that in the suburbs, attractive twelve-room bouses, with coach-bouse and out-bouses for sen-ants, may be bad thoroughly furnished for 140 about" This is cheaper than such property can be rented near any city in the United tW 'Do hogs pay?" asks an agricultural correspondent.

For some time a company lias been engnged in sinking a salt well at Leltoy. A Itoclicster writer says: There were no decided results until Tuesday afternoon, but the demonstration was lively enough then, and for a few moments the frightened workmen were under the impression that their drill hnd pierced the infernal regions.

Shortly after 12 o'clock the depth of 450 feet was reached wheu gas appeared im moderate quantities, but gradually the supply Increased and at '2 o'clock it came out with such a rush tlmt It was Ignited by the fire In a coal stove, ten feel distant from the mouth of the well. The house in which the men were working was Instantly filled with flumes and they barely escaped with their In a few seconds the woodwork caught fire and the destruction seemed Inevitable, but the gas was followed by a rush of water which rose to a height of fifty feet In the nir, quickly extinguishing the flames. Then followed alternate floods of gas and Jets of water, each one holding its own for about a minute and a half before it gave up to the other. The water hnd a strong sulphurid taste at first, with a slight appearance of salt, nnd as the supply of gas commenced to diminish, the How of water Increased. By degrees the water became lees sulphurous and more thickly impregnated with salt, until at half-past five o'clock it was strong brine, epoutlng to a height of seventy feet.

Steadily increasing, at half past seven o'clock it reached nn altitude of one hundred and ten feet, which it held. The bore of the well is eight Inches, nnd the casing taking up about an inch, leaveB an opening of seven inches in diameter from which the solid stream Is thrown high In the air. At the latest reports the field in which the well Is located was Hooded with brine. Maine News.
