The Cleveland Plaindealer tells the following:
ga lady passed through here few days since
in hot pursuit of her husband, who had been
smitten with a smart attack of 'passional attrac-
tion,' and had run away with another woman from
Wyoming county, New York, to Loran county
She took brace of officers from this city, and
went to Elmira. He, snu!hng the approach of dan
ger, left his money with a nephew to effect a di-
version with the enemy, and took the cars for the
South. On reflection, he suspected the honesty
of his nephew, and took the next train back to
look after his money. Here he encountered the
pursuing party, and negotiations were opened
1t resulted in the ady's selling out all her right,
title, and good will, in and to her husband, and
his purchasing dishonorable peace, for FIVE hun.
bred dollars. The lady returned to Wyoming
without husband, but with pocket full of rocks.

A FRENCH AcroR's IMPRESSION OF AMERICA
Monsieur Reauvallei, one of the gentlemen at
tached to the Rachel troupe, has written home a
letter which appears in Paris paper, giving some
of his impressions. We quote the following:
"There is one thing which cannot avoid tell
ing you-that is, the disprnportionate number of
fires that take place in this capital. 1t is weak
ness, a monomania, rage. Seven. eight, nine,
ten per day 1t is hardly credible. In fine,
they have arrived at that point that every house
there are rope ladders and other suitable instru-
ments. No one can lie down without having an
intimate conviction that the house will be on fire
in i've minutes. HOuse-burning has grown to he
one OF the institutions of the country it is habit
custom, if there were no fires, people would be
disappointed. It is one of the most joyous pas
times of the lower class. The boys Of the neigh
borhood gather round the engine houses, to be
sure not to miss single fire. And there's where
the row 10 when the FIRE breaks out any where
They work, they shout, the alarm bells rings, all
the bells are tolled! Really it is something dia-
holical. What a funny country"
