take the following relative to one haRpy g circe"
from the Day Book Of "Wednesday
UNLUcKY RESULT OF A FAMnY QUARRz1.--Last
evening, shortly after o'clock, middle aged man,
who had only been about three months ago initiated
into the matrimonial state, giving his name a Will
liam Judge residing at No. 80 Essex street called
ut the Tenth Ward station house IN shocking con-
dition. His ace was entirely covered with blood
Is was also his body, eminating from wound which
he had received in the back part of his cranism.-
Medical aid was Immediately sent for, and IN the
course of an hour, Sergeant Wildwood the surgeon
of that ward dressed Mr.. Judges head after which
he very politely inquired how it was that he came
to receive such a dreadful wound. Judge replied by
saying that on arriving home last evening" she whom
he had taken for better or worse" had no supper
ready. He asked his wife why she had been so dill
itory in performing her household Duties when she
replied if he didn't hold his tongue she would put
him out of the house"
Mr.. Judge dared Mrs. Judge to do it, when atlast
words gave place to blows and Mrs. Judge seized
wash bowl, and rushing at Mr.. Judge dealt him q
blow on his bump of combativeness, causing the
blood to flow copiousy down Mr. Judges person
The injured husband came to the conclusion to re-
turn good for evil and at once made leg bail for the
police station After he had finished his story or
rather complaint an officer escorted him home, when
another scene far different to the former took
place. The wife seeing the M. P. was going to take
her into custody again rushed into her better halfs
arms and implored forgiveness, which the good ma
tured Mr.. Judge could not but grant The affair
was amicably settled and the NJ P. was informed his
services were not required.

BUCKLEY morse 10 Tluc W SulOhy, WHlCll uu.
We went to Mr. Collinss, on the Oconalufta, and
from thence immediateyto the highest peak of the
Smoky. Our movements were entirely under the
direction of Mr.. Clingman. He spoke frequently of
the route to be taken and described the situation of
the highest peak as well of the others Mr..
Buckley did not pretend to have the slightest knowl-
edge on the subject, but followed without word
of objection Mr. Clngmans direction in all respects
also recollect perfectly well that when were on
the highest Peak, MIR. Buckley expressed the opin-
ion that it not so hi the mountains to the
south of Pisgah, and which he was expecting to 60
to- In fact he then did not believe it to be as high
as other points of the Smoky which we could see.
On the day following when we were getting pretty
near to the point which visited in Tennessee,
Mr.. Buckley said 81 saw this mountain last spring
when was in Tennessee in search OF plants" Mr..
Clingman thereupon expressed his surprise that Mr.
Buckley should not have seen that it was very
high mountain. He replied that it did look high,
and that he asked Judge Peck how high it was, and
that he said it was three thousand feet high, and
that supposing the Judge knew, he thought no more
about it. This statement was several times referred
to by Mr. Clingman as matter of amusement
When on one occasion Mr.. Buckley spoke OF having
passed down the Tennessee river some fifteen years
previously, he said that he was then looking for
plants, and so low down in the valley, and so tar off
from the higher parts of the Smoky that he did not
see them. In fact he must then have gone through
the range of the mountain more than twenty miles
west of the highest peak. He, during the whole
route, exhibited the most complete ignorance OF the
localities we went to, and frequently manifested sur
prise at the scenes presented. He not only did not
profess to have any knowledge Of the Smoky range
but it was obvious from all that occurred, that he
had none whatever, with the exception of the re-
marks above given to his conversation with Judge
Peck, and it was only when were getting on that
point in Tennessee, and we're speaking of its posi-
tien IN Sewer county, at the head Of little Pigeon,
that it seemed to strike hin that this was the noun
tain he must have seen the spring before. When

Prof. 0. ]. Wood-Dear. Sir: I have heard
much said Of the, wonderful effects of your Hair
Restorative, but having been so often cheated by
quackery and quack. nostrums, hair dyes, &C., I
was disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one loudly trum-
peted quack remedies, until / met you in Law
renee county some months since, when you gave
me such assurance as induced the trial of your
Restorative in my fnmily-frst by my good wife,
whose hair had become very thin and entirely
white, and before exhaustiDg one of your large
bottles, her hair was restored nearly toits original
beautiful brown color, and had thickened and be-
come beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely over
the head she continues to use il, not simply be-
cause of its identifying effects upon the hair, but
because of its healtbful influence upon the head
and mind. Others Of my family and friends are
using your Restorative, with the happiest effects;
therefore, my skepticism and doubts in reference
to its character and value are. entirely removed
and I can and do most cordially and confdentially
recommend its use by oil who would have their
hair restored from white or gray 10y reason of
sickness or age to original color or beauty, and,
by all young persons who would. have their hair
beautiful and glossy. ~ = cd

A GOOD L STORY.

There lived lately in one of the noun
famous COMMITTEES in Western Virginia many
Dutchmen, and, among them one named
Henry Snyder; and there were likewise
two brothers, called George and Jake Full
wiler-,her Ter" ~ -;ch. and each owned a
mill. Henry Snyder was subject to fits of de-
rangement, but they were not of such a ma
ture as-to render him ~disagreeable to any
one. He merely conceived himself to be the
Supreme Rule- Of the Universe, and, while
under the ;niatuat;or, had hiTself a throne
built, on which he*st l., :rs the causes of
all who offended hin and passed them OF
to heaven or hell, as his humor prompted
he personating both Juge and culprit.
It happened enc day that some difficulty
occurred between Henry Snyder and the Full
wilers, on account of their mills; when to
be avenged, Henry Snyder took along with
him a book in which he recorded his judg-
meuts, and mounted his throne to try their
causes. He was heardto pass the following
judgments:

and yet responding for the accused), he call
