A FAITHFUL WIFE AND BRUTAL HUs
BAND.--Some four years since man was sem
fenced TO the New Hampshire State Prison,
for an attempt to kill his vile. She, full of
affection, had been unsparing in her efforts
for him, and finally obtained a pardon, with
which, in company with the mans mother,
she ioyfully hastened to the prison one Satur-
day morning, very recently, eager to liberate
him whom she loved so well, despite his cruel
treatment and long absence The correspond
ent of the Manchester american thus narrates
the sequel =:
"For several days previous the man had re-
fused to work, feigning sickness. The physi-
clan reported that he was well. Saturday
morning the warden went to his cell and told
him to get out he replied that he was sick.
Finally, Mr.. L. said, "you must go, you are
pardoned." "Well,' said he, ''lf must,
must, suppose" and Immediately followed
the warden to tine office, where were his wife
and mother. They were filled with joy and
spoke kindly to him but he would make no
reply. He sullenly dressed himself in suit
provided for him, and left the office. After
reaching the yard, the hardened wretch tore
his vest from him, rent his clothes, and de-
parted muttering curses OH his benefactors.
Considering the circumstances, this case shows
deprayity seldom witnessed.

ATTEMPT TO Poison A FAMILY.-The Jackson
(Mich Citizen gives an account of an attempt
to poison Mr.. J. H. Burroughs and his family, a
few miles from jackson cityi
"The intention was to have put the poison into
the well, but as it was curbed tight, the drug was
injected into the pump-an old-fashioned log one
Tne quantity thrown into the pump was so large
as to color the water, and excite the suspicion of
the family before using it, when an examination
brought to light the fact that the pump was full
of arsenic. The matter was kept quiet few
days, when suspicion was directed to neighbor
named Michael I. Cole, who was finally arrested,
and an examination was had on Tuesday, before
Justice Yelling Of this. city, which resulted in
Coles being held to bail"

ARARE CHANCE FOR DIoKsR.-We learn tna'
at meeting of the Pangborn faction Of the Am

LATE AND VERY IMPORTANT FROM THE
MORMON CoUNTRY.-David H. Burr, Survey
or General of Utah, has arrived at his home in
Washington. Mr.. Burr states, in converse
ton with friends, that the Mormon legion is
poorly equipped, and that ten thousand Uni
ted States troops would effectually overawe
them. Before he left Utah, the Mormons had
not heard of the intention of the government
to send force thither; but they frequently
laughed at the idea of the government com
polling them to obey the federal laws, and eli
ted the failure of the government to put down
the disturbances in Kanzas, as evidence of its
inehiciency. He supposed that one-third or
one-half of the Mormons who are oisgusted
with Brigham Young's tyranny, would rise
against him, were they protected by the Uni
ted States troops Mr.. Burr does not appre-
bend that the Mormons will show fight. 1t
is the duty of every good Mormon to obey the
church, as the higher law and hence the
opinion is entertained that Brigham Young
may leave the Territory with large force Of
his deluded followers, provided he can find
some other seat for his government. Mr.. Burr
says that Salt Lake is the meanest settlement
that he ever beheld, everything having the
appearance of abject poverty. Youngs word
is law and the oppression of the Mormons is
cruel, and without remedy from the present
rulers. There are about fifty +" Gentiles, -
(anti- Mormons,) only, in the Territory and
they are the objects of bitter persecution.

The company commanded by Capt. Maddox,

The SPIDER AND THE ToAD-A CURIOUS IN
cIDENT.-The following singular relation is fur
nished by correspondent of the Boston Trauel-
ier as having been witnessed by person now
living, though occurring more than forty years
ago, about sixteen miles from this city
The narrator said, that while he vas walking
in the field he large, black field spider, con.
sidered of the most yenemous species, contend
ing with a common sized toad. The spider. with
its fore paw, would drive off the spider. 1t would
then hop to plantain, which was growing near
by, and bite it, and then return to the spider
After seeing this repeated several times, and
noticing that each time the toad was bitten it
went to the plaintain, the spectators thought he
would pull up the plantain and watch the result
He did So Being again bitten, and the plantgin
MOTTO be found, the toad began to swell and show
other indications of being poisoned, and died in
short time. If the plaintain, which grows so
abundantly near almost eveery dwelling in this
vicinity, was such an immediate and effectual
remedy to the toad foIthe bite of the spider, can
we not reasonably infer that it would be an efFec-
tual cure for mau for the bite Of the same insect
