THE DEVIL OUT AMoHG THE BA8Ers.-At very
early hour, a few mornings ago. ESQ we have 1t
from reliable authorty,) a worthy bakerman whose
shop is opposite one Of the city markets left his
bed and spouse up stairs, as usual, to descend and
open the bakery for the benefit Of his customers.
He had not been below long, when his wife, who
happened to be awake in her room above, heard
several brisk knocks below.
Surprising that her good man had gone to The
neighboring bar-room to get his schnapps eye
opener, or over to the market to the butchers,
and supposng that customer was waiting, she,
like good wife, hastily slipped on her gown and
went down stairs. Instead OF an innocent customer
waiting for loaf Of bread, she saw--naOhStfung
ho1rendUn1! Our pen refuses to tell what she
saw. g Suffis TO say that the customer and her
good man both were there, and that many lady
has obtained divorce upon less than what this
unhappy lady saw
She aid not 70 n" Irish fashion, and tear the
hair and claw the eyes out Of the guilty fair one
but she adopted the refined French style, and
tainted away, and afterward took iaudanum. The
news Of the thing spread everybody ran for a
doctor in a short time there were doctors enough
present to organize a medical college. The doc
tors succeeded in extracting the landanum andsav-
ing the sufferer. As the pains left her and she be-

while longer, she forgaye her treaeherous lord
and repented her own madness. Smiling kindly
upon him, she said, in Dutch, you big fool. did
not take poison was only playing a joke, on
you.' The fact was, though that she had taken
laudanum. Probably it will be some time before
the baker man hears tile last Of the awful joke he
played off upon his faithful vrow.
Yesterday morning early there was another1ancy
dance in another bakery. Officers Borotl and Rob
inson, at the request of Commissary Shuhert, ar
rested four men engaged in a fight on Poydras
street, near the market They are named respect
lively, Nicolas Antoine, Augustus Miller, Lambert
| Frame and Charles Fisher, and are all bakers.
Most Of them had scratches and bruises, and Fisher
had large cut on the head, from which the blood
| flowed profusely. He statedthat he merely went
TO get some money due him at the bakery, when
| the others fell on him and beat him. The others
| Immediately made contradictory statement and
as all seemed to have indulged in early lbations
the confusion was great in the police office, to stop
which all parties were locked up, to be overhauled
| A DOUBLE BLow-UP IN JEFFERSON CITY.-We
| have the particulars of the following affair." from
| what we consider reliable source:
| On Tuesday night, Martin Adel, (or Adle, Of
| Adele, the name being variously reported to u.s.
had blow up with his wife, at their grocery, cor
ner of Laurel and Constantinople Streets in efer
son City. She went over the way to stay with {
| friendly neighbor.
tla o'clock yesterday morning, the unhapp,
grocer had a second and much more serious blow
lapTr lTlt1f nf flAlp
known but certainly Internal shape, was Introduce
and exploded in the back-room where he wa
taking his lonely and melancholy nap The eS
| plosion was terrific. He was blown out of bed
but luckily not hurt; the bed was set on fire {;
partition wall was blown down; the shelves in tn
grocery and their contents were shattered; tn
whole damage amounting to about $500
As Mr. Adel had considerable sum OF none
in the house, the belief is that daring gang {
robbers put their explosive material in at his bee
room window, with the view of killing him and hi
wife and making of with the money before an
one else could approach.
There was no possible connection whatever bt
tween the blow-up which the grocer received froI
his wife and that which he received from the mic
night robbers. Perhaps the wife's blow-up an
departure was lucky for her. We have neve
ehronicled more singular incident than this.
SI=ICIpE-A Young man named Bathazar Shine
ler committed suicide on Tuesday night by plunG
inc into the river from the ship Congress, at til

that Shindler was unhappy or crazy, and bein
utterly at loss to account for the sudden and de-
perate act. The body was notrecoVered.
