WoNAN. BEATING CnryALRY IN NEWPORT, Kr.
On Wednesday evening, the wife of tenant
with her child on the steps of Mr. HIS house,
which adjoins the one in which she lived. For
some reason or other, Mr.. II. desired to display
his chivary, and so threw the child off the steps,
The mother resisted this, whereupou the chiv-
alrous Mr.. David Hays proceeded to kick her in
the abdomen, although her delicate condition
was extremely EVIDENT Her hoops and skirt
afforded her some protection from his assault,
so Mr.. David Hayes endeavored to get his feet
under her clothes, and make his kicks more eff
tective. So the kicking went on, the poor WON
an trying to pull down her skirts all the while,
till Mr.. David Hayes had satisfied his vengeance
and established his claims to rank with any of
his brave compeers in Cinoinnati-Ci Gas.

The EFFEcrs OF JEALousY.-On the 9Th of
July picnic party, consisting OF two young
Anne Arunde shore for the purpose of passing
the day in rural sports and pastimes. After re-
emharking for home the demon ofjealousy took
possession of the breast of one Of the young
men, who fancied that his belle inclined too
willing ear to the affectionate endearments of
theiother. violent alteration ensued at once,
followed by a collision between the two beaux,
in the midst of which they were both precipi.
tated into the water Fortunately one of the
young ladies had presence of mind to extend
an oar to one of the men, who managed to
scramble on board and afterwards extricate his
companion. The remainder of the trip passed
away very peaceably, neither party being will

Wool IN BROOKE CouNTY.-The wool crop Of
this county is now in market, but only snail
proportion of it has been sold, and that gener-
ally at a discount of about 20 per cent from last
year prices. Two clips that we have heard of
sold for 90 cents per lb., which last year brought
quality, 30 cents has been refused Other clips
of somewhat inferior reputation have brought
40 to As cents. As general thing, the market
is not very brisk, and prices in this vicinity may
be set down on an average as at least 90 per
cent below that of last year. There is dis
position on the part of the holders of very foe
wool to hold on until later in the season in
hopes of an advance, which disposition from
what light we have on the subject, appears to
be well founded.

DIcKENs AND HIS WIFE.-The London CORES
pendent of the Springfield Republican, writing
on the Goth of June, gives the following expla-
nation of the incompatibility between Dickens
and his wife
Gin the literary world very little is stirring,
except the gossip on the domestic affairs Of
Charles Dickens. Probably his explanatory let
ter, published about a month ago and full of
mysterious illusions, has excited much Curl
osity in America as here. The facts dimly al
luded to are these: About twenty-five years
ago, Mr.. Dickens then clerk, married very
pretty and amiable young girl (whose parents
opposed the match as far beneath herr and took
her home to obscure lodgings in Furnival's Inn
For some years they lived very happily togeth-
er; but Mr.. Dickens having become great
man, hattered and courted, finds that his domes-
tic felicity is not as great could be desired
Two or three years ago, he gave a dinner, to his
literary friends on the anniversary of his we'd
ding day, and in proposing his wifeS health,
stated that he had never seen shade Of ill-tem-
per pass over her in his life. This equability
Of disposition does not satisfy him. She is not
intellectual. He reads his works to her. and
she, absorbed in needle.work, inquiries abstract
edly what he means by some of his most bril-
liant passages. In short, she is not compan-
ion for him, so the brilliant novelist and actor
separates on the ground of 'incOmpatibility' from
her whom he had vowed before God to love and
to cherish, and from henceforth their lives have
separate ends The oldest child youth of 81
has chosen to follow the fortunes Of his mother,
while the daughters remain with their father

lady, Mrs. Dickens sister, has undertaken to
keep house for Mr.. Dickens and his daughters.

the ground that bushil of coal fed to steam

improvement that is to take place in these en-
gins in so 100 years will enable to navigate
our cornfelds, and plow as much cotton, with
one critter of this sort, in the same length of
time, and Mt less expense, than with ten mig

WHAT IS CALLED SUICIDE AT RrcuxoND-Mr.
Barnes hired a female slave, whom he kept as
domestic in his house near Richmond-the
same Richmond where President Monroe's re-
mains were recently received and buried with
such pomp and patriotic show. They called the
girl Cora. On Sunday Mr.. B. came home from
church-and the girl, he says treated him dis
respectfully. He got rawhide, and while his
overseer held up the slaves clothes, Barnes
whipped her on the back, This did not bring
her to submission, and she was taken into the
yard and chained by the neck to the limb of
mulberry tree. The master then lit his pipe,
and threw himself upon lounge to reflect upon
the blessed gospel he had heard, and the obsti-
macy of nigsers, and was.surprised, in few min
utes by the sudden entrance of his oyerseer, an
nouucing that Cora had hung herself with the
chain. They held an inquest over Cora's body
and gave verdict of Suicide" They were
particular in the inquest, because the woman
only hired by Barnes, and if he had killed
her, the Joss would have to come out of his
pocket.

An INTERESTING SUBJECT FOR MEMorn-Pat-
rick GAS. Of Brooke Couaty.-In the last
number of tue Panhandle (Wellsburg) Fdrmer,
we notice an announcement concerning forth
coming work, to be entitled "a Memoir of the
life of Patrick Gass.n This work, if publish
ed, will contain from $50 10 800 pages, and will
be mailed by Messrs Jacob & Smith, the pub
fishers, post paid TO subscribers, for one dollar
The conditions upon which this memoir will be
undertaken by the publishers are, that pronis-
es OF subscriptions to = sufficient amount to
insure expenses shall be obtained before hand
The manuscript is now about ready, and all that
is needed is the names of parties who are will
ing to take copy.
And here we come to the subject Of the
memoir, of whom we might say, Writ did of
Blanerhassett: Who is Patrick Gass2 We an.
swer that Patrick Gass is u veteran soldier of
the war of 1872, now in his Seth year-and the
sole Survivor of the celebrated exploring expe-
dition under Lewis and Clark, in lSO3-l-5,
across the Rocky Mountans-the first expedi-
ton Of the kind ever undertaken by white men
and the one that made known the undscovel-
ed country to the civilized world. He lives in
little humble dwelling on what is called
Pierce's Run, in Brooke county, hale, hearty
relic of an iron moulded man. Led by pat
riotc impulse, we one day, about six years ago,
took long jaunt over the hills to spend an
evening with this old man. We found him at
work in his garden, hoeing and wedding, and,
although possessing but eye, doing his
work much more thoroughly than ever we
were accustomed to do such jobs with the aid of
two.
If we remember right, the only occupant of
his house with himself, was youngster of ten
OF twelve years-the child of his old age-born
TO him BY his second wife, who had since died
The old man was in jcnial humor for CONVEX
sation, and he took us into his house, and en-
tertaned US until late hour in the night, with
m account of the "many accidents by food and
field" which he had undergone in the two cam
Palgues of1803-4-5 and 1912. Wewere never
more Interested than in hearing the description
which he gave of what we now call the West,
us it then appeared to him. He kept a diary Of
all the scenes and adventures through which he
passed, and this diary is now to be incorporated
with the proposed Memoir.
We trust that as a matter Of literature-as
an additional help to our national history, and
also as matter of tribute TO the old veteran him.
self, that every one in this section of country
will subscribe for copy of the work.
