ONE WOMAN COWHIDING ANOTHER.
From The Pcs,1s Herald.


Last Tuesdsy evening an affair of honor came OIL
between two {. males in Prospect street, noar the cor
1er Cf Lymsu Place. As exaggerated gsports are IN
crcula,oa respecting this Transaction, we pave con-
cluGed to give tie public etstement OF the fa,ts,
VII ch have be en- in our possession day or two.
II apI ssrs that a married gentleman, residing IN
Poplar street has been intimate terms with fe-
male who figured in our courts few months ago az
tie trcsecuJiI Of two police officers Of the Fourth
StatoD and this intimacy had proceeded so far that
70 was possession OF her daguerreoype and things.
few dsys ago one of toe aentlemsns children while
at psy, found the picture AID several letters from the
irail one concealed under the carpet, and by this
saps they placed in possession Of the iD ured
wife. OF course this oTested q matrimonial breeze.
TIE wife sought the female who had broken her peace
Ct nnd, ard In the CT their interview an ar
rspgement was made by the terms of which the let
exchanged. The letters which addressed to the
husband were promptly handed over to the young
women, and she returned his biletdoaX with the ex-
ception CT Cne which che retained as suspected,
for no good or honorable purpose.
OF course this arrangement proved 10 be hollow
peace. The husband still hsnkerec after the ra one,
and or the evening We have mentioned, ne had been
walking and commgning with her, and had just parted
from her when tee injured wife made her appearance
upon the ground armed with cowhide, and backed
by her sisters husband. The wife Immediately COM
merced attack upon the seduoer of her huso 9
affections with ths cowhde, which she used with al.
the erergy whish jealous rage can infuse INTO the
ftmsle Lature. The cowhide was wreIc ned from ner
hand by her husband who rushed to the rescue OF his
Ell smoraa sa0 he was knocked down by the brother
ir-sw Of his wife. The exasperated wife followed
the csstigatiop Of her rival with small cane and wtn
her claws, and damaged her apparel considerably De
fore the STRAY ended The affair ceused consider
able excitement u the bosOms Of the actors n tno

PsuIlio's Balloon ln New Jersey-Wnsrs IL
Desss tdsd-


A balloon passed over our city last evening, be-
tween six and seven o'clock, passing in southeriy
direction. The ascension was made from New York,
by Mr. William Paullin. who has made over two han
cred arial voyages The balloon, which was OF large
SIZE attracted very general observation from those
Of our people who happened to be in the streets.
After passing as far south as Ehzabethtown or
Whereabouts the balloon was taken up by another
current and drifted slowly northward, sailing d
rectly over the Hill In line parallel with High
street. Al times IL was very near the earth, aud
seemed about 60 land As il sailed along, backed by
the crimson and gold OF the western sky the sight
was beautiful In the extreme. In passing over the
western part of our city the balloon nearly touched
the roof Of Mr.. Robert Dods house, upon which
number Of ladies were gathered watching its pro-
gress. As the balloon Tegted over this point the
party could readily converse with the gronant who
concluded, however that even the attractions there
gathered should not detain him from the further
prosecution OF his voyage. The balloon descended
near Roseville within twenty feet OF the ground and
then again assembled and sailed off In the direction
Of bloomfield. About ten O'Clock the mronaut de-
scendcd near West Bloomfield, and was brought with
hls balloon to this city by j. W. Cummings, in time
for his return 20 New York in the last train.
