A Chapter from Real Life.

From the Philadelphia North American.
About year ago, gentleman of this
city, whom we will call Mr.. s., terminated
bachelors career by wedding very re.
spectacle, and, as the world goes, accom-
plished, young lady. Mr.. S. is we'll tn do
in the world, was truly attached to his
young wife, and did everything in his power
to render her happy.
For the first two months of their married
life Mr.. S. was constantly in presence of his
wife, and seemed to hover about her as the
bee hoyers over honey charged flower.
Mr.. S. however, relapsed after time into
some of the habits of his bachelorhood, and
resumed his connection with club of which
he had formerly been member, against the
wishes of his wife, Still no demonstrative
objection was made by the latter, no conf
dence was broken, and no unhappiness en-
gendered. Mr.. S. was as devoted as ever,
but insisted upon spending an evening every
week with the club" as he had done for
some eight years previous to his nuptials.
Mrs. s. has a mother, whose influence
over her daughter is very great. The moth
er took strong grounds against the resump.
ton by Mr.. s. of his membership with a
club. Her counsel to the daughter was
such that Mr.. S. was rendered unfavorable
though he took no step to break off the in
tercOurse between his wife and her parent.
Some weeks ago Mr.. S. was urged by some
friends to accompany them upon duck
shooting expedition to Chesapeake Bay,
which would involve the absence often DAYS.
Mr.. S. determined to go. Whether his
wifa romonctro tod or Mt xx,o o,naok 49,
He was given to understand, however, by
his mother-in-law, that, in case be departed
on the jaunt, he would find an empty house
on his return. Mr.. S. disregarded the me-
nace and fulfilled his intention. He was
absent eleven days, and returned with a
large quantity of game as the result of his
expedition. Upon going to bis house he
was admitted by servant, who informed
him that Immediately after his departure his
wife had gone to her mothers house, and,
removing her wardrobe, had not returned
Mr.. S. endeavored to see bis wife, and even
to humiliate himself by imploring the inter-
cesslon of his mother-in-law, but as yet has
succeeded in neither. To heighten bis dis
tress, some days since, an infant TWO days
old, of which his wife had been delivered,
was sent to him by the mother-in.law, &C.
companied by message that nothing of
his would ever be countenanced by the
family. Mr.. S. as matter of course. is in
a state of deep mental suffering. He has
had the child properly cared for, yet is una
BILE to determine whether the child be really
his, whether his wife shares the vindictive-
ness OF her mother, or whether he is the
victim of dreadful fraud, perpetrated with
a view of agonizing his feelings. We learn
that the case will probably come before the
courts in day or two. Should it do so, we
expect to present to the reader chapter in
real life that beggars the widest fantasies of
fiction. For the present we can disclose
nothing in addition to the above.

Garrbaldi and Cavour. The return of the
latter to power it considers as proof that
Italian policy will now be permitted and
protected from Paris Venice, we may
hope, will again become Italian by purchase.
The king is acting like those who build lit
tie white villas half way up Vesuvius. The
article concludes by exclaiming how dry
must be the elements of combustion laid
upon such kingdom, and how readily may
they catch fire when Cavour will bring his
klngllke influence close up to the frontier.

SPAIN AND MoRoCCo.-A Madrid tele

soon as the artillery were able to pass.
Late advces from Magadore state that
sixty thousand men, the pick OF the Moor

Terrible Fire in New York.

By another fire in tenement house (42
Elm street, in New York, on Friday night
last, there was heavy loss of life. The full
extent of the loss is not known. Some &C.
counts say only eight have persisted, while
others make the loss as high as ffty.three.-
The telegraph despatch says:
The fire originated in a buttery, shot up the
stairway with great rapidity. and extended to
the upper floors, occupied by about twenty
families. The moment the alarm was given.
the scene of confusion that ensued throughout
the building, was of the most heartrending
character. The stairway was burned AWAY,
and of course all chance for escape was cut off
in that quarter. Men, women and children
could be seen by the spectators on the side

assistance. and wringing their hands in an ago.

MORALLY wounded, having received in his
breast two rife balls. The firing was now
general. Old Arch Peavy, having shot two
guns, was himself dangerously wounded, q
rife ball having fractured his thigh, while
several buckshot took effect in his body. A
man by the name of Murphy, having re.
&ived two rifle balls, fled. Bill Peavy was
so wounded as to be unable to get away, and
it is supposed was dragged in the house by
the women during the fight, as he was not
seen on the ground the others of the Peavy
crowd escaped and it is not known whether
any OF them, except Anderson Peavy, were
wounded or not. Murphy ran about
quarter of mile in the woods and fell. He
ives found dead next morning. About the
end of the fight, N. Griffin received rifle
shot in his right side. Thus ended the

The Troy papers chronicle the marriage
Of FRANK B. CONVERSE, of the Campbell
Minstrels, with young widow, Mrs. HAT
TIE A. CLARK, youngest daughter of Tho
MAS Maxwell, Esq, of Elmira. The lady
in question accepted a wealthy New York
gentleman about three years since, and lived
in the enjoyment of unalloyed conubial hap
piness until some eight months ago, when
her husband died, leaving her sole heiress to
the snug little sum of $l50,0OO, and "nary"
responsibility. The widow returned home to
her parents, and soon thither hied the wan
dering minstrel, and sought an interview,
the effect of which was magical. Divining
the object of his visits, the family and friends
of the widow forbade him their houses, and
from opposition the lovers became desperate,
and an elopement was resorted to, which
was successful in enabling to meet her lover
at Troy, and consummate the marriage.

A desperate fight occurred on the oath
of December, some forty miles above Alex.
andria, in which seven men lost their lives.
Among them were three brothers named
Peavy, notorious desperadoes, who have set
the law and its officers at defiance for some
time. The Peavys are from Mississippi, and
they had been charged with stealing and
committing number of depredations, and
a vigilance committee waited on them with
an invitation to leave the parish.
From the Alexandria Democrat we gather
the following account of the desperate
affair:
"1he whole number of this lawless band
was now about fifteen, and they openly bid
defiance to law and everything that should
oppose them. They threatened some of the
best citizens with inevitable death, and the
whole country with an Instruction by Cal
houn's negroes. There was general feel.
ing of anxiety and uneasiness felt by all. 10
cap the climax, on the night of the Goth
December, a company of them went to the
house of neighbor, and drove the lady Of
the house from her bed of accouchment, and
destroyed considerable portion of their
furniture and other effects. In her weak
and enfeebled condition this woman had to
stay nearly half the night in the woods, in
rain and sleet, till these demons left her
house.
"This outrage soon was heard of through
out the country, and vigilance committee
was sent down upon them, but they found,
instead of the three Peavys, four others,
making seven. The committee numbered
forty~three, some armed with rifles, others
with double-barreled shot-guns. So soon
as the citizens appeared in sight, the Peavys
hoisted a red flag, and with savage yells and
horrible imprecations, defed all whom they
saw. Most them had two guns each. Cit
liens had divided their company into two
parties, so as to attack in front and rear
The Peavys left their houses, and came fear
lessly forth to meet their opposers. So
soon as the citizens appearing in front as
cended hill, about hundred and twenty
yards from where the Peavys had their
position, fire of rifles was immediately
opened on them. Two men, John Hensen
and Hutson, each received rifle ball in his
thigh and fell. The women now discovered
the rear party, and screamed the alarm
Most of the Peavy crowd turned and ran
to meet their opposers. They fired as soon
as they got near enough, and one man NAM
ed David Collins received a rifle ball in his
thigh.
$50 soon as the first fire was made on
the front party, they charged upon the as

A MAN named THOMAS FAULKNER, of
Halifax county, Virginia, who, while in.
toxicated, had habit of amusing himself
by frightening his wife, carried his joke
little too far few days since The Echo
says: "On this as on previous occasions,
he declared his intentions of hanging him
self. This he had dcne before, and had tied
the rope to the joist, and then around his
neck, always taking care, however, to have
it long enough so that, in stepping from the
chair, box, or whatever he used on the occa-
sion to elevate himself, he wonld easily
reach the floor. On this occasion he tied the
rope too short, and when he stepped from
his elevation, instead of reaching the floor,
broke his neck.
