TsiG,cAL ScESE.-We witnessed the
most lrgicill sceuc at 1ancy Superior
Court. that has ever been acted in any cour;
in North Carolina. The facts were as fol-
lows About two years SINCE, a man by
tie name of John Wilson, married Eliza.
beth Rev OF that county. They lived to-
gethcr about seven weeks, when some dis.
turbancc took place which caused their
separation. Six months ago the husband
filled petition for divorce, setting forth
various causcs--declaring that lie was
young and inexperienced when he married
her, and WAS not acquainted with her true
character, that her cond2Ct during the time
they lived together, was nsupportabie, and
by him couiG not be endured. She an
swered, that they were raised in the same
neiyl.borhood, and had known each Other
from their infancy up; that he knew her
character and circumstances in life perfect
" well when he married her, and had taken
her with his eyes open TO all her fraIiles !;
she positively denied ever having been gull
ofany misconduct, during the time they
ed together, but that she acted towards
Inn the part of an aticctionatc wife. She
,rihcr asserted that when he was about
TO leave her. hs made no charges against
her, but gave as his reason tor separation,
that he did not, nor had he ever loved her !;
that his friends had induced him TO marry
her merely for her properly, and tina: he
had ascertained that he could not enjoy lille
with woman he did not love.
At the last Court an issue was made up
and submitted 10 Jury. The petition and
answer having been read, evidence was
then introduced which proved decidedly in
favor of Inc petitioner. On the part OF the
Plaintiff, the cause was submitted without
any argument, but the Counsel for the De.
iendant resisted the divorce by long and
feeling speech, in which he alluded to the
solemniy OF the marriage VOW, the mutual
duties it imposed on the parties, and the
want OF Suliicicn. cause in that case to dis
solve the bonds of matrmony.
During this investigation the parties were
both in Court. The husband WAS appar-
emily young and simple, and in fact a mere
boy, and there was nothing in the least pre-
possessing i'll his appearance. The wife
seemed something Older and altogether the
superior SAe is - fine looking woman,
with dark h;;ir, black eyes and very cx-
pressivc face; she manifested great interest
in the trial.
The Jury after retiring few moments. re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, The par
ties were still in their seats behind the
bar, some six or eli ght feet distant from
each other: the vile asked 4 gentleman
bv whom she was sitting ior his knife,
as if to trim her finger nails; she felt of the
edge, rose TO her feet, paused moment,
turned pale, her eyes flashed fire. and then
suddenly sprang forward with the drawn
knife and aimed at her husband deadly
blow. Blu. fortunately lady who was
standing by saw her get the knife. and per-
ceived from her countenance that she was
mcdta:ing something of a desperate char
acter, watched her until she saw the bow
aimed at the throat CT the unsuspecting
husband, aud instantly seized the arm OF
the lnfuriated wife and diverted the weapon
from the object at which it WIS aimed: but
determined on her he!lish purpose, she
threw tie knife with great violence at her
husband, and turning. made a most furious
attack on her whose hand arrested the
blow ami tpwar ed the wicked design. The
Couri ordered her INTO custody; sic was
arrested and borue cot Of the Court. making

calling her husband in the most tender
and passionate language, and seemed to
