A horse was seen, from an elevation between the Clifton House and the road lead 1 ing to the burning Spring, swiming from Ma " Island on the Canada side towards the op- 1 osite shore. Strange and impossible as it may seem, being powerful animal it is supposed 1 he succeeded in reaching Grass Island, more than two thirds of the way across the Niaga- ra river. This was accomplished by having started high up--so that a diagonal line ena- bled the bold adventurer to plant his hoofs on that little patch oftcrra Grma-green Island, q narrow strip of grass that peeps out of the water but short distance above Goat Island. After feeding while, and therefore attract ing a still larger number of NoEder-struck spectators, he seemed to survey the mighty exhibition of fury around, and again plung- ed into the resistless current-either intend. ing to return, or touch upon the American side-Qor horses do think, ay, and reason tool but the rushing waters, like an army of hungry tigers, whirled the poor beast hither and thither, and onward too, so that just as he reached the first rapid nothing but his head could be now and then observed above the angry pillows. Before coming to the brink of the magnificent cataract, towards the middle of the descent. it was quite certain that life was extinct. Over went the carcass, which was soon discovered, by those below at the ferry, where it was lowed on shore and examined. It proved to be a very large horse, in excellent flesh, almost milk white, but every bone in the body was crushed and broken into fragments At the last advices, the remains were at the whirlpool, running an endless round, the race of a magic horse, as though it were intended to impress the mind with deeper sense of horror, whilst ga- zing into the awful abyss below.

They are all the while going and coming with new tales of terrific gram deur. And can bear testimony to the fact, that the ladies do all the daring deeds,- stand on all the projecting rocks,-look over all the horribles,-and if possible will suc- ceed in immortaliZing themselves by and by, by tumbling headlong into the unfathomable gulfs beneath their pretty feet, if their pas and mas don't absolutely letter them before leaving home.
 THE WEDDING DAY.-In the Baltimore City Court on Saturday, the State vs. Marga- ret Allen, for assaulting her husband Daniel Allen. The woman is perfect tergamant and desperate. Her husband came upon the stand with his arm in splints and a sling, in consequence of his wife having broken it with blow of the tongs. He showed his right hand. the back of all the fingers there- on exhibiting a seam from severe gashes inflicted with knife by this woman on the very day he married her. Truly "wedlock is a ticklish thing" The wretch was fined $5 and costs, the Court remarking that the punishment was inadequate to the offence, but they could not very we'll punish her, they supposed, without punishing him.
