ROMANCE OF LIFE-We heard the particulars
yesterday of one Of those strange episodes in life
by which the old aduge Of itruth is stranger than
felton, was fully ILLUSTRATED. About six years
since, lady named Mrs. Martha Wood, accom-
panied by her son, lis wife, and a couple OF chill
dren, arrived in this city from New Bedford,
Mass. She stated that she was widow OF some
twenty tour years standing, her husband having
been mate OF whaler, which had been lost ut
sea. The family have resided for the greater por-
ton of the time on Liberty street, Mr. Wood, the
son, working at his lEade, which IS that OF 4 COOP
er.
Yesterday morning gray.headed and tCil.wotn
man called ct the residence of the family, aud,
being called into the room, while gazing intently
at the stranger, whose eyes were liked mournEuIly
upon her, requested 10 know his business.
'Do you not know he, Martha!' said he, and as
the sound Of his voice, like the memory OF an old
ell melody met her ear, she gave vent TO hySler-
cal cry, aud tainted in the arms opened to receive
her.
The sale is soon told; the ship in which he had
made his last voyage from New Bedford was cast
away in the South Sea Islands, and he was one OF
the few who escaped q watery grave. After en-
during almost unnenrd Of privations, he succeed

CONSPIRACY AMONG THE NxuRoEs.-We learn
from the Charlottesville, (Va) Allocate that a
conspiracy was lately formed among the negroes in
the neighborhood of Nartonsville. in ALTERNATE
county, Virginia, and on the Green side of the
line, to rob, murder, aud attempt their escape n-
to free State; which was brought to light few
days since. The conspiracy included some forty
odd negroes. Their plan was to rob some OF the
neighbOrs of money and horses, and make their
escape in an armed gang.

The feeling is, that Mr. O'SnlhVan, the Ch!el

in venturing heavy train across the Gasconade

seat on the locomotive, suggested that the bridge
might not be safe, and that passengers mad betteE
