A great inundation having taken place in
the north of Italy, owing to an excessive
fall of snow in the Alps, followed by q
speedy thaw, the river Adige carried off a
bridge near Vienna, except the middle part,

thus remained imprisoned by the waves,
and in momentary danger of destruction.
They were discovered from the banks

extreme danger, nobleman, who was

But the risk was so great of being borne

bridge, or of being crushed by the falling

spectators had courage enough to attempt

By still more strenuous effort, and great

Queer story of a Corpse.

A remarkable instance of the force of
Imagination was presented yesterday, says
the Portland argus, in connection with our
friendso OF the Eastern Express Company.
1t isno unusual thing for the company to
carry the remains of deceased persons
among the other innumerable articles
which they forward. Such packages are
usually enclosed in several boxes, one in
side the other, and "head" and s.foot', mark
ed en- the outer one. One of these boxes
was brought to the boat in Boston on Mon
day, addressed to HALIFAX, and put on
board, the clerk charging the usual freight
In such cases. passengers fare. The
bands, in putting the box on board, detect
ed an unpleasant smell issuing from it,
which was nothing unusual The smell
increased to be offensive during the pass
age, so that everybody Stunned the box,
and twas got rid of as soon as the boat
reached the wharf here yesterday. So Of
fensive was 'theIodor that 1t would not be
allowed in the warehouse, and lay upon the
wharf until the Express Company's busi-
ness clerk sent one of the teamsters down
for it to have it forwarded at once by the
express to Halifax. So strong had the
stencil become that the teamSter would not
put it in his wagon. The Company, however,
was determined to carry out its contract,
more especially as the police were urging
the immediate removal of an article which
in the city. A second teamster was sent
down, and this man was so affected by the
smell that he became sick and giddy, dis
charged freely from his stomach. and
would have staggered over the wharf had
he not been caught by those standing by.
Finally the box was got into the wagon,
and hurried to the place of Prince William
street, where itw re-labelled for Halifax,
and the boy in doing SO thought he smelt
an offensive odor, but not nearly so bad as
what had been represented. Mr.. Stone,
also, on shaking the box, as directed by the
teamster, detected strong smell. Deter
mined, however, to examine the contents,
a Ratchet was procured, ,one of the boards
lifted, and very handsome carved Indian
figure in wood was disclosed to the gaze of
the crest-fallen teamsters, everything about
it as clean and as sweet as a new planed
board. 1t was intended as sign for some
enterprising tobacconist. We have rarely
heard of case which so strongly exhibits
the power of the imaginatian OF the hui
man mind and body.

IFrom the New Albany lInd Ledger, Aug 81
This morning we were made acquainted
with some circumstances in relation to the
strange and unaccountable action OF a new
Unmarried man toward his wife, now at
one of our city hotels. 1t appears, as we
learn from the lady, that she was married
at Lyons, Ohio, about three weeks ago, to
aTnan named Francis Lassaux, French
man by birth. After the nuptials, Mr..
Lassaux and his bride came on visit to a
relation of his, seven miles from this city.
There they remained until yesterday
morning, when they came to town,
put up at one of the hotels, to wait
until the first train left for Indianapolis,
where they expected to spend q few days.
It seems Lassaux informed his wife he had
business in Louisville, and after promising
her he would return at three O'clock, he
left. 1t seems instead of going to Louis
Vile he went to the depot and purchased a
ticket for Indianapolis, and with his wite's
trunk and valise started on the 1:15 train
from this city. Whether he went to Jndi-
annapolis or not, we are unable to say. but
certain it is that his wife has not seen or
heard of him since. She says he has al
WAYS been kind and affectionate to her, and
when he left yesterday at eleven o'clock
A. NJ. shereceived the; most affectionate
good-bye.
The conduct of Lassaux is certainly very
strange, and it looks as though he had de-
serted his wife. He may, zhowever, have
met with some misfortune, or have been
foully dealt with, as he had considerable
money on his person. His wife is very much
distressed at the mysterious affair, and is
without means toreach indianapolis or her
