AN INFRAoTIoN ON MATRIMONIAL PEAoE-A
HUSBAND CUTS HIS THRoAT.-Yesterday after
noon, the wife OF Henry Forrest, residing in the
neighborhood of Twelfth and Spring Garden
streets, caused his arrest, preerrlnR against him
a trivial charge.
lived together for a number of months, in con-
sequence of alleged bad treatment on the part
of Forrest, and his frequent threats that he
would do his wife harm. Forrest has been in
custody several times upon the allegation of his
other half as to bad treatment, and was arrested
about ten days ago upon the same charge.
While in prison he promised to do better in
future, and allow his wife to live in peace. Be-
lieVing HIM to be repentant, his wife consented
to his release, and some time passed before he
again troubled her. Two or three days ago he
went to her boarding house, at Vine and Frank
lin streets, and effected an entrance into the
house by pretending that he was in search of a
boarding house, and while there he met his
wife in the parlor. After some words had passed,
he became so violent in his language and threat
| enng in his gestures that she fled from the
| room, and thus escaped him.
Forrest was arrested, and both met in Alder
! man Hlbberds office yesterday afternoon when
| Forrest commenced to plead for withdrawal of
| the suit, and promised to reform his ways and
| let his wife live unmolested. She replied that
| she had frequently forgiven him, but without
| causing any change In his conduct, and that
| the law must take its course, she beng afraid of
| her life. While the conversation was going on,
| Forrest suddenly pulled razor from his pocket
and made lunge at his wiies throat, but she
| seeing the motion, got out of the way, but be-
| fore any one could seize him or take the razor
| from his hand, he drew il across his throat,
| inficting long cash, extending from near the
| windpipe TO the ear The blood flowed freely,
| and in a few moments Forrest became very
weak. physician in the neighborhood was
| soon at the place. and dressed the wound in
| such manner as TO permit his removal to the
| Pennsylvania Hospital. Though the wound is
very severe, Is not tnought 10 pc mortal
| one. Mrs. Forrest appears much distressed at
| the position in which she has been placed by
| the conduct of her husband.

Sadness oga5 literature,

One of the anomalies of literary histo-
ry is, that it has often been the lot OF
those men who have contributed large
ly to the mirth Or recreation OF others,
to endure more than ordinary share OF
misery and want in their own lives.
The most entertaining portions Of liter
allure have been written by men whose
hearts have been bowed down by sor-
row, and at moments when that sorrow
has been the heaviest. 1t was in the
gloom of mothers death, deepened by
his own poverty, that johnson penned
the charming tale of "Rasselas;" it was
in the chill desolation of a bare and fire
less garnet that poor Goldsmith, the be-
loved vagrant of literature, slletched the
brightest pictures of domestic happiness
the world has ever had; it was from q
sick bed, in sore distress, andin q neces-
sitous exile, that Tom Hood shook all
England with laughter. The enchant-
ment Of Scott, the satire of Jerrold, half
the gems Of English wit and humor,
have been thrown out by genius in its
most sorrowful moments.

THEN there are those-and who shall
give the number Of them ?-that are
overtasked and overmatched in life.
We see that in the forest there is con-
tinued falling of leaves all summer long.
Although autumn showers them down,
yet there is not day in all the summer
when some leaves do not turn, and are
not sloughed off, Or wind driven and
carried to the ground. we see in life
the same thing in conflicts of society
the strong are continually growing
stronger, and the weak are showed to
the wall, and the detritus Of society is
made up of those that are ground to
pieces. Fits a sad thing to see it. 1t is
a sad thing to look after the outcasts.
1t is q sad thing to see how men are
born into the world. And, after they
are in the world, it is sad to see what
responsibilities are laid upon them, and
what destinies await them in the life
which istocome.. | can read arguments
against the doctrine Of divine overrul-
ing Providence, and not suffer materi-
ally in my faith. That which staggers
my faith is life itself. It is the way that
men are born into the world. 1t is the
way they are compelled to live here. It
is what happens to them in life. 1t is
the weakness with which they are
obliged to encounter gigantic strength.
1t is their unpreparedness for the as
saults that they must feel. 1t is the ire
mendOus issues of the world that lie be-
You'd this And my mind instantly re-
treats to the thought that there remain
eth a rest; that there is world where
all things shall be right; and that there
| shall understand what now seems ill.,
explicable, and SO viii my fellows.

An astonishing Old Lndy.

An old lady whose home is in the
country: and who hadn't been in Gin
| clnnatl for several years, went in q few
Gays since to do some trading, her prin-
clpal business being one of the eventful
incidents OF her life, the purchase of a
new bonnet. She hadn't had new bon
net since she was in Cincinnati the last
tlme, ana that was seven years ago; nor
had she seen any of the neW-faupIed con-
trivances-''trifles light as air''-Which
the women wear nowadays in the
place of bonnets. AS new bonnet was
the engrosslng theme in his mind on
entering the city, of course she was on
the alert at once to see what the fashion
was. Imagine her CONSERVATION, then.
in standing on Fourth street, Watching
the people as they passed by. For a
time she was perfectly speechless, and
then she was observed to throw UP her
hands and exclaim:
sFor the lands sake are the Wimmin
all crazy, gadding through the streets
with nothin' on their blessed heads?
What's become of all their bonnets 20
She went into a millinery store, and
accosted sgentlemanly and obliging''
young lady in attendance:
"You rec, L con in the hull way from
Clarmont county to buy a bonnet. I've
Worn this one goin' on eightyears. It's
a little out of fashin, ! reckon, and [
want one that is in high style. [ didn't
know what the Wimmin was wearin', SO
| stood out here blessed hour TO see
'em pass, and | hope never to see my
old man agin if | saw one with a bon
net on durin' the hull time Some had
a dolls handkerchief laid on the top Of
the head; others had what looked for
all the world like oyster patties trimmed
with bloW'd glass, and declair to good
ness if one woman, with a big rutabaga
turnip on the back Of her he'd in fly
net, wore any coverin' 'cepting a WALLER
circus ticket tied on with rbbin!''
When informed that the styles she
had seen were the latest thing in the
bonnet line, the old ladys establishment
increased. and she was thoroughly be-
wildered by the time she had examined
each of the varieties embraced in the
milliner's collection, particularly when
she learned the accompanying prices.
She looked at her old bonnet, which had
been preserved so carefully during the
changing fashions of seven years, and
compared it with the fashions of to-day,
when the old lady fairly wept. She de-
clared it was enough to drive one crazy
to see such vanities as the women are
running to nowadays. "'TWan't so
when l was a gal,' she said; "women
wore bonnets in them days that kiver-
ed their heads, and tied 'em under the
chin instid of fast'nin 'em to the back
hair" She left in great disgust, and
said she would go right back to Clair
mount, and wear her old bonnet till
milliners got to making bonnets again.

The NEW PosTNAsTER.--On Saturday last,
Capt. T.. c. Little received his commission as
Postmaster Of this city. 1t was By no good
grace Of Andrew johnson that appoint.
ment was made, for he had long before APP
pointed man after his own heart in the per-
son Of the editor of the Democratic newspa-
per Of this ci,y-W. Barnhart, very clever
fellow personally, but with unfortunate polit-
ical associations. Mr.. Barnhart was not con
frmed by the Senate, and Capt, Little re-
commentator having been Endorsed by very
many ofthc citizens Of this city, the Presi.
dent could not well do otherwise than send
on his name for confirmation. The Cap
tain served his country faithfully, receiving
wounds which permanently disabled him from
serious physical labor. He is sound to the
core on all questions affecting the welfare of
the country. His appointment was eminently
just, but it Was made in spite Of the Presi-
dent and his friends. The Democrats have
frequently and dis,inc,ively charged that the
Republicans are very 10th to give any good
thing 10 returned soldiers, but on the con-
trary are very carful to reserve all the offices
for those who remained faithfully at home.
The appointment Of Capt. Little affords
direct contradiction TO this SANDER, and the
very general expression Of q desire ofthe Re-
pubieans in our county to nominate for the
various county Offices men who served faiths
July st the front during the war, is still furth
er evidence that the Republican party is
anxious to honor those who sustained person
ally the rigor Of the field.

FUNERAL OF J. H. CUTTER, EsQ.-The

orably discharged. Returning to Waterloo,
moved to Independence, where he found
employment in the Office Of the Treasurer
Of Buchanan County. His death occurred
on last Saturday, 30th inst at independence,
at I o'clock, A. NJ. His age was 26 years
and 3 months. His disease was consump.
ion, which gradually but surely undermined
his constitution, and paled his life fam lit.
tie BY little, till finally he passed peacefully,
sweetly and resignedly away, in the full
hope Of q glorious Immortality. His re-
mains were brought here on Saturday last

~ The Copperhead newspapers seem
to have . chronic hatred Of Methoiis:s
The Dubuque Herald in a recent article
alludedto the Methodist Conference, as "the
one>horsc concern which met in DEBORAH,
in this State, last f.ll.' The Conservative
Of this city had . Communication from
Quasaue,on, last week, abusing Me,hodists,
and particularly Methodist elergymen, de-
nouncing them as the most bigoted Of all
denominations. Tie secret Of il all is that
,he Methodist clergymen of Iowa, like those
Of most other denominations, are intensely
patriotic in their lives and preaching, and
very naturally call down upon themselves
the anathcmas of those who proved to be
the enemies Of their country in its hour Of

THE FLooDs.-We congratulate the ci,i-
zens of our coan'y upon their comparative
exemption from the evils of high water.
Oar neishbors in every direction, excepting
along the Wapsie valley, have suffered
most severely. At Manchester, early in the
season, the bridge was carried away and is
not yet repaired. At Waterloo the bridge
aer SIS the Cedar was swept out, and the riv-
or rose almost to the food point of 1858.
All along the Cedar, Iowa, Boone and Des
MJines Rivers, bridges, mill dams, mills,
houses, fences, stock, &C, have been carried
TO destruction. The Wapsie, however, rose
to 40 unusual height; the OILY damage along
its course has been to the !aais at Indepen-
dence, and Quasqueton, which, however,
will be quickly repaired.

D0r Capt. Little has removed the Post
Office to its old location. This action has
produced considerable feeling among those
whose location is down stree. and west of
the river still, the cogency of the Captains
reasons for removal cannot be denied. He
could not retain the Office where it was with.
out paving large rent. He could have secured
the inconvenient building adjoining by pay
ing rent Of $240. He rents the Old post Office
stand for $3.50 and can sub-let the store
front for abou. the same amount so that it
would be dead loss of $40 per year to
continue the office in its recent location. The
rent, it should be remembered, is not paid by
the government, but comes out Of the salary
Of The post master. 1t is true, the location
near the bridge better accommodates the bust.
ness portion Of the city, as whole, but the
location up street is not SO far away from the
business centre, rs to seriously incommode
anybody, and it was asking a g God deal Of
q man crippled in the war and dependent on
the office for support, to pay large sumout
Of pocket to retain it down street. The Cap.
tain offered to remain down street il the
business me in that quarter would raise him
$3.50 to pay part ofthe rent but they failed
to respond and he has done what probably
ninety nine out Of hundred persons would
have done under the 81 me circumstances.
We do not wish to be mixed up in this
controversy but We deem it no more than just
to Capt. Little that statement Of the facts
should be made. Let every man consider
this question, and ask himself what he would
have been likely to do under the same cir;
cumstances.
