C0nnuhial Adventure.

The Buffalo Republic relates that recently
false hearted married man in Detroit attempted
to elope from his lawful spouse with an other
woman to Canada. The guilty couple crossed
the river in one steamer, while the injured but
spunky wife pursued them in another; and Just
as the train was leaving Windsor the latter
sprung upon the rear car and ran through the
coaches until she found the runaway couple, quiz
city seated side by side. She upbraided the
guilty man for running away from his lawfully
the cars and return with her. This the husband
stoutly refused to do, when the wife appealed
to the conductor, and produced the necessary
vouchers of her identity. The conductor, with
much good sense, decided that woman was en-
titled to her husband, and informed the man
that he would be under the necessity of deliv.
lering him over to the custody of his better half.
By this time the passengers had crowded around,
and the scene became extremely ludicrous
The man declared that he would not leave his
dulcinea, and she persistedin retaining him. The
tears and entreaties of the wife were too much
for the sympathetic conductor; he pulled the
check string, stopped the train. elected the hus-
band from the car, and delivered him to his wife
several Of the passengers holding the other wo-
man, who made the moss desperate endeavors
to follow. The man tried hard to get the cars
after they were in motion, but was unable to do
SO, in consequence of the tight grasp of the wife
on his coat tails. The last that was seen of the
pair they were rolling down the bank, closely
locked in each others embrace. The frail fair
one who was the cause of the trouble, was car
ried out of reach of her companion, for q time,
at least.

GooD-Mr. Udolpho Wolfe, of 'sSchiedam
Schnapps" celebrity, is about prosecuting all
those persons who are putting up or engaged in
selling bogus article of schnapps. His nephew,
Mr.. Hudson G. Wolfe, is travelling all over the
country for the express purpose of reporting the
names of all such personst to his uncle, when they
will be Immediately attended to and punished
severely. He was in town yesterday and sue
ceeded in collecting the names Of the persons
who are engaged in it here.
/, Since the introduction of the Sehnapps into
this country by Mr.. Wolfe several persons in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Quincy, Ill,
and in the vicinity Of New Orleans, have been
putting up common article Of gin andadopting
Mr. Wolfe's trade mark 'Schnapps," which be-
longs exclusively to his article and which he OBJ
tanned a patent right for, he is determined to
put down the imposition cost what it may. We
are very glad to hear that Mr.. Wolfe has at last
taken this matter into hand, for the whole coun-
try is becoming flooded with the base imitation
Of his article. As no one has right to import
the schnapps into this country save Mr.. Wolfe,
all others are ofcourse counterfeit.

per day. Nearly all the land is taken up with
Land Warrants, SO that Uncle Sans Treasury

large number Of land SCENTS and spectators, As
well as settlers, constantly on hand, and the de-
sire to secure land is constantly on the increase.
There is often smart competition to secure
the most desireable tracts, and the bids ran up

GREAT SUFFERING IN THE WEsT-U. S. SOLDIERS
EATING THEIR OWN COMPANIONS, The following
is extract from aprivate letter received by the
editor Of the Military Argus, New York;
) FoRT P1ERRE. n n Marcl

editor Of the Military Argus, New York;
FoRT PIERRE, N. T., March Is, '56.
A most horrible affair happened between here
and Sioux City in December last, which is almost
too hideous to relate. Three soldiers named
Rigert, Wicker and Cornell, deserted from com.
panes and H, Second Dragons, about the first
of December, and started down the river. On
their way, they overlook four persons from this
place, who were proceeding in the same direction
and as self preservation suggested the idea of
strength, theyimutually agreed to traveln COM
pany. Up to this time, and for some ten or twelve
days after their junction, the weather had been
remarkably mild and pleasant. Afew days after,
however, heavy SHOWS, accompanied with intense
cold, set in, which continued with but little
intermisson for thirty or forty days, during which
time little progress was made. At length their
scanty stock ofprovisons gave out, and starvation
seemed inevitable, for they were at least two
hundred miles in direct Line from the nearest
settlement. s+s
For six days, without particle of food, they
continued their course down the river, but made
but very little progress towards their destination.
Under these accumulated sufferings the soldier
named Cornell died, and the others to appease
their hunger, cut up his body and eat his flesh.
The following night one of the civilians died, and
his body was disposed of in like manner. On the
succeeding night two more of the civilians died,
but as the party was discovered shortly after, the
living were spared the necessity Of making any
further meals upon the dead bodies of their COM
panions.
They were found by party of Major Howe's
command, and when first discovered they were re-
calling themselves upon the arms andlegs of their
unfortunate companions. The survivors were
taken to Major Howe's camp, and under proper
attention have all recovered. "a 4

Fat and furious grows the quarrel between
~ friends Of Buchanan, Pierce and Douglas. It
= bseomisg more and more apparent that there
b no bead Of union IN the ranks Of the Nebraska
party. The jarrins and contending leaders,
Whose only bond Of union 4 love Of public
plundsr, have lost al control and Influences Of
ths masses They are still able to control the
pssss and make - much noise in Congress and
upon the stump y ever, yet they cannot touch
dng,s synpashstic chord in the popular heart
They have broken TO the heart every word Of
promise 70 the ear. In the name Of equality
and democracy they are engaged in giant
conspiracy whose object ID TO overthrow the
dearest rights Of American citizens.
From the formation Of our Government 70 the
present day no party has ever existed whose
peincipies and practices were 20 repngnant to
the spirit Of free institutions, and whose leader.
ahip was In the hands Of men 30 desperate In
measures and 20 despicable and unprincipled in
public and private character. 1t was left to
them, In this day Of freedom and progress to
present single issue 70 the people, and that the
extension Of slavery over territory for thirty
years pledged and plighted to freedom, And
these men sss now contending for the gio-
rious privilege Of embodying and carrying out
this idea and striving to outstrip one another in
dirt eating. Pierce has signifed his willingness
70 shoot every man In Kansas who will not give
up the right Of suffrage, freedom Of speech and
trial BY jury, and TO show his sincerity d now
doing II through United States troops. Douglas
and Buchanan win no doubt ortbid him and will
eiIsr TO hang every man opposed to slavery in
that territory.
The Locofoco party committed it, destiny to

Who have stripped Il Of every honest sentiment
and principle II ever possessed and bound II,
among the chattels, to the car Of slavery. Its
race Is run. The last two years has filed the
