SINGULAR CASE OF MISPLACED Ar
FICTION.
rrou "a. RichnonI Hh,a. Oes01e,

From the R1hnonl Hhg. october 10.
Some time in the month Of August last, Mrs. Rice b.
Haslop Of this city was visiting some ir!ens III
line county curing which period che was induced to
20 in a buggy in company with relative named
James H. Moore to visit an uncle. They accordingly
started, with her children; out Moore instead OF go
ing TO the place designated, drove on 10 L,oyu ~
Essx county, and stopped at holse where they
were refused accommodation. Mrs. Ii. finally pro-
cured a passage TO Baltimore, and thence TO Clty
point, Va, from which place she got back 70 hlcn
mond Her husband in the mean time had suffered
intensely and as there was much mystery connected
with the affair, he made some movement toward an
application for ovorce HOY this matter eventuated
We have never been informed; but 1t true that MIS-
H. and her husband have latterly resided under the
same roof in our city. And il Is likely that no blame
whatever could attach TO the lady.
In the progress Of time Moore also came 10 Rich
mopd and renewed bis anuoyances greatly TO the in
tenupiion Of Mr. Haislops domestic peace. Not more
than week two since he employed one OF Mr.. Bal
lards servants 10 20 al night TO Mrs. Haidops place
of residence, with request that she woald imme-
diaoly Join him al the Exchange hotel. Mr. Ii ais op
forthwith went 10 the door oil his cTelhng ana saw
Moore standing near the fence. He gave chase ard
pursued his ioTnsuter far as Oregon hill w5ere he
tsok refuge in house AMI Was los, sigat OF It's
stated that he was kwered from the upper window OF
this house by means Of blankets and enabled 10 make
bis escape Mrs Haislop, TO nd herself OF Moore

.iven 70 the citizens Of st. Johns by the Telegraph
COMPANY, on beard the James Adger just previous
70 eur depsrture. All OF our friends collected on
board by l2 O'Clock, when we cast Cd our moor
ipQs and steamed down the hsrbor There were
At least hundred and fifty Quests-including all
the beauties of st Johns. Half the population OF
the place was collected in the streets and on the
piers to see US leave, and we gave and received
many cheers before the steamer was headed for
the sea. Emerging from the gateway of the har-
Dor, we ran nOrthward, passing in succession
Cuckold's Head, Red Head and Sugar Loaf, until
we reached TOrbay, near Cape st. Francis, ten
miles distant The sky was cloudless, with a
bracine south west wind, and the ocean 30 nearly
smooth as not to disconcert our company. A
lunch fabricated with champagne was prepared IN
the dining saloon and its discussion was accom-
panied BY excellent speeches from Bishop Null
lock, Mr. Shea, Mr.. Cooper, and Mr.. Field The
utmcst hilarty prevailed on board, and our guests
expressed a genuine regret when We passed Signal
Hill on our return. The Adeer did not return to
the pier, but landed the party by means of boats
which came off to her. This was work OF some
length, especially as tbeIe were many adleu1 to
be spoken; but after an hour and half the last
boat load pulled ashore aud We gave the last
cheer Of farewell Our friends still fingered on
the piers, and there were white haodkercnleis
waved by group of young bachelors until We
entered the Atlantic.
Aswe were passing Chain Rock Battery, We
noticed the boats of Nh. Huested anchored over
tie Merlin Rock, the removal of which had been
completed during our visit. Mr.. Huested hailed
us, cay ing be would give us parting salute.
Nearly all the passengers were gathered on the
hurricsne.deck at the time looking their last on
the recediDg hsrbor. There was movement on
Mr.. Huested's boat handling of wires; touch
and then followed a dumb, heavy explosion
which shook our steamer-then not fifty yards
from the spot In second circle of water forty
or fifty feet in diameter over the rock was vio-
l.ntly aeitated narrower circle was hurled INTO
the air to the hight of thirty feet; aud from the
center sheaf of silvery jets spra1g seventy or
eighty feet above the surface Of the sea. The
enormous masses of water curved outward as
they ascended and stood for an instant like coos-
sal plumes waving against the sun, which shone
through their tops and blinded our eyes with the
diamond lustre. 1t was Great Geyser OF the
ses-a momentary but sublime picture which no
volcanic well Of the Icelandic valleys can surpass
As it fell the shower of airy spray drfted down
upon us, drenching ourselves and the decks, but
creating sudden rainbow over the padded boxes
an arch of promise which spanned our course
for an instant, and melted into air with the sound
of our parting cheers. b. T.
