evidently came to the conclusion that the
boat was not a safe one.

Saved by Crinoline.

On Tuesday afternoon last, es three
ladies, accompanied by some male friends
were crossing Long Bridge, at Washing
ton, D. c., one of them suddenly disar-
peared to her waist through the flooring
a plank on the end of which she had
placed her foot having tipped up and let
her through. Fortunately for the lady,
her crinoline extended beyond the limits
of the aperture through which she had
fallen; and it, together with her presence
of mind in extending her arms, saved her
from death.

DESPERATE AFFRAY AT OsBOURNE.--
From passengers who arrived on the rail-
road, we learn that desperate affray oc-
Cured between an American and TWO
Irishmen at Osbourne, station ON the
Hannibal and st. Joseph Railroad, in De.
Kalb county, late Saturday evening. 10th
list. ....... ...-.-... ..
It appears that the American and the
two Irishmen had stopped in at a drinking
saloon at that place and got on drunken
spree. A dog belonging to one of the
Irishmen came in and the American kick
ed it out. This incensed the Irishman,
who Immediately proceeded to put the
American out IN the same unceremonious
summary manner. The American, who
is represented to be very small man, not
weighing over a hundred pounds, drew 9
bowie knife and commenced vigorously
defending himself. He cut the throa
of one of his assailants, from ear to ear
and produced terrible cash on the face o
the other, ranging from above his left tenn
pie down to the chin. A surgeon wa
Immediately called in who pronounced tn,
man whose throat was cut beyond recov
cry; the other, though severely was no
thought to be mortally wounded. A
soon as the American committed the &C,
he jumped on horse and cleared himself
