A paragraph is going the rounds of the
papers relating how d man, named Frazer,
was recently arrested near Baltimore, and
committed to the Jail near Moorestown, \.
j., from whence he had scaped when under
confinement for counter'eitng. The story is
touched up with \ little romance concerning
a sister Of his, who is said to have struggled
hard for livelihood in her younger days,
but who is now u great lady at the Court of
France-all Of which is true.
This Frazer was once resident of our
county. He came here with Lucien Murat
SOD If the illustrious Murat and the beau
tiful Pauline BOnaparte-nephew Of the cid
and cousin of the present Emperor. Lucen,
assisted by this Frazer and French chap,
whose name we cannot recall, undertook to
build "cty" on Indian river, between
Evans Mills and Thee=a This was some
twenty-tbrec years ago. This MO were a
precious set. lIore racing and cock fighting
were more industriOu-!y attended to than leg
itimate business; still grist mill, n few
shops and store were put up, but IN the
end, went down under the sherih's banner
Thus began and ended the great city Of
"Joachim." The old mill is sill standing
as 4 monument Of Lucien Murat'S failure In
this county. The wright vino built the mill
still holds an expressive mcmento of Luclen
10 the form of a promise to pay" given for
cightecp hundred dollars worth Of labor per-
formed.
After our adventurrrs left the county, Fra.
ger went TO New York and got rioh-M nrat
went to Bordentown, n. j., married Fra
zer's sister, and remained poor. Ills wife
actually supported him by teaching school.
Meantime her brother continued to wax fat
and fast He became noted as Il gentleman
Of wealth, leisure and pleasure, without CIV
ing thought, 1t is said, to his relatives,
who we're then under the irowns of fortune.
The throw Of the dice box of destiny which
gave France into the hands OF Louis NapO
leon, also gave peace and glory to Luclen
Murat and his very worthy and hard work
ing wife, He is now one of the high dignl-
taries of the Empire, and she il one OF the
first ladies OF the court. Thus, while the

A Peril OF the Deep.

lately undertook to go down into the deep to

The act paralyzed him. An eastern paper
says Of the periIous exploit:

could suggest were ready for his a,d. lie

and humanity. He dared tho deep water
once. twice, seven times. The men at the
brake of the air-pump wrought with the
might of earnest strength. They fed the
vital current to the bold diver, and he had
the courage to trust them. Their work was
bis breath. When he came up he told the
gentleman that superintended the trial that
the air at that depth, as the machinery forced
it to him, cracked and Kissed like the frying
Of hot fat, and that every movement OF the
pump fell on his breast like the blow Of the
crowhar. You 90 down no more for noe,

very great, and what makes it harder on the

The wife of Mr.. George Ayscough, mer
chant of Front street, 10 this city. applied
on Monday to Alderman Freeman for q war.
| rant for the arrest of single female named
Rebecca Boiieau, with her two eldest chill.
dren, young man and u young woman, and
also another young man who is engaged soon
to be married to the aforesaid young woman.
Mrs. Ayscougb made affidavit that she is the
wife Of Mr.. Ayscough. They live 10 cot.
tage orlcc. on the frankfort road, above the
Trenton railroad. Mr.. Ayscough possesses
considerable real estate, among which is q
row of fine brick dwellings 10 the vicinity of
| Front and Laurel streets, at which place he
does business.
On last Friday Mrs. Ayscough accompa-
MED her husband on ride. 90 Saturday,
Mrs. Ayscough deposes, Mr.. A. did not re-
turn from bis place Of business at bis usual
hour, at which being quite uneasy, she sought
for him. and learned that he had been taken
sick, and that a lady living in the handsomest
house in the row above referred to, had sent
u carriage to convey him thither. This ma
turaily created tunult in the bosom of the
wife, who at once sought tho house in ques-
ton, aud desired to be admitted to thu pre-
seuce of her husband. She was instantly
confronted by the woman Boilesu, her son
and daughter, and her prospective son in
law, who Informed her that she could not en-
ter. Mrs. Ayscougb insisted, and was pro-
ceeding up stairs, when--as she depOses-
the entire party seized her, throwing her over
The tannIsters with no little violence, and
brusing her side in Il painful manner 10 sew
eral places. Mrs. Ayscough made her way
home 10 much pain, and on Monday made
complaint a. we nave above narrated.
Ca " ednesdsy the accused were arrested
and brought before Alderman Freeman
The bearing Of them all in the presence of
the Alderman, were arrogant to the last de-
gree. The woman, BOileau, said, in defence,
thet if che wasn't married to Mr.. Ayscough,
sbe had better title to him than his wife,
that the house had been furnished Tor Der by
him, and that be was the father of her chill
dren. She also produced certificate from
a physician that Mr.. Ayscough could not
safely be disturbed by any one, but the
affair was evidently concocsed in anticipa-
ton of the arrest.
The magistrate ordered all the parties to
find bail IN $500, which was duly entered.--
The woman signed the bail bond 10 the name
OF ltebecce Bo!leau, while the children cool
ly affixed to their christian names that of
