The FreepOrt (Ill.) Bulletin tells the following
story
Mrs Birmingham, wife of the master mechanic
of the Gaena and Chicago Union Railroad at this
point, made very escape from drowning

by hired man to Pecatonica. When they were
within mile and half of that point they were
compelled to leave their carriage and take to
boat, into which they stepped with two gentlemen,
who were there waiting to be carried They
had rowed distance, when dog, which was
swimming alongside, put his paws upon the side of
the boat upsettng it and precipitatng its occupants
into about ten feet water.
Two of the men swan ashore The other sue
ceeded in reaching tree near by, up which he
clambered. Mrs. Birmingham, after sinking twice
was caught by the man in the tree, and held until
persons from shore came to their relief, which was
in about three-quarters of an hour. The only in
jury Mrs. b. sustained the chaIng of her arms
in holding to the tree, and severe cold After the
gentleman had secured his footing the tree, he
fonnd he had necklace in the shape OF a rattle
snake. He succeeded in releasing himself from his
dangerous companion without injury.
One of the gentlemen lost his wallet, containing
over Sl0O in money, beside valuable papers

very small sized coil will bear being almost in

OF two tons and five cwt., while under the new, to
break the same thickness it required no less than
four tons nineteen cwt A weight OF four tons six
cwt broke a rope of two inch diameter, made un-

MCFARLAND, THE Circus ACrOR.-Br the last mail
from the West letters received giving an ac-
count of the violent death of James Mcfarland, the
circus performer, recently attached to Spading
Rogers circus company. now travelling in Western
Missouri, at the hands of Mr.. Roberts landlord of
hotel in Liberty, Missouri. 1t appears that on
reaching the town on the 18th May, the deceased
determined at all hazards to see his wife, who had
been divorced from him and who now travelling
with rival company. SO he proceeded to the
hotel, examined the register, and asked the landlord
to be conducted to the room of his wife, he wished
to see her. To this request the landlord refused
permission.
He then made movement to proceed up stairs
unaccompanied, when the landlord armed with n
bowie-knife, Immediately stepped forward in a
threatening attitude to dispute the PASSAGE Hard
! words cnsued, and drawing their weapons simul-
taneousy, desperate fight occurred Mcfarland
was stabbed in the neck, separating the iuguar
vein, and was also cut several times in the body
the first blow being enough to cause death, as he
died IN about three minutes after. The deceased
drew his revolver and fired one load but missed his
antagonist. Every attempt to fire subsequently
was Intellectual, from the caps swapping.
