SINGULAR AND MELANCHOLY AFFA1R.-Mr. Hora-
ito Lawrence, of Rye, Westchester county, n. Y,
has been arrested for the murder of his wife Phebe
to whom he was married last June, and who was
found dead in her bed the morning of the 17th
inst Her death had evidently been produced by a
cash cut in her arm with a razor which severed the
arteries and caused her bleed DEATH The wound
appeared to be inflicted in the garrett where there
was much blood, and bloody razor and hammer.
The stairs, parlor, and bedroom, were also bloody
but the bed was not: No other mark of violence was
found about her, and the coroners jury found verdict
of suicide; nevertheless, Lawrence has been arrest
ed on suspicion of having murdered her.

with Charles W. Goodyear at their head, have left
Independence for the Mountains The St. Louis Re-

"They have goods with them, packed upon mules,

II Tour miles beyond where we started.
!. With a train Of 0 carriages and about
200 persons, we stopped with the brakes
on The incline rising ! ia 80, and started
again nearly as free as on the level on
tho whole, The results are beyond what
we led any one to expect"
These are features in favor Of The at
mospheric that iorcibly recommend It IN
preference TO the locomotive system, not
,hsianding the universally Of The lat
ter. In the first place there is the com
paraiive absence OF that constant clatter
which invariably accompanies a locomo-
tive train the sound occasioDed by the
atmospheric in action being soft and
subdued rumble. Another and an inva
riable feature is, that it prevents ali
chance Of collision, or Of trains running
of the rails-casualties which OF late
have given rise TO so many melancholy
caiastrophies and n third, amongst 9TH
or advantages, is the absence Of smoke
aod fire. Divesling the matter OF Ger

TEN is at present only in its embryo or

er, the Locomotive, which has now un-
dergone all The improving processes and
appliances ths, upwards Of fourteen
years could bring TO bear upon it, since
the first steam autOnatOn was fashioned
by Stephenson, it may fairly be affirmed
that the atmospheric system is no longer
to be treated as theory, but is an ac-
complished mechanical fact, in 81 far as
its applicability to short distances is con-
cerned, of which yesterday furnished
ample and unequvocal proof.
