A Family Unpleasanthess.

In the Morris Herald, an Ilinous paper,
we find this story in which men, women,
powder and ball, divorce, and several other
things are mixed promiscuously:
ssAbout one year ago, Anna j. Westacot
was married to Caesar Cawiios. For soms
reasons the union did not prove pleasant,
and the wife applied for and obtained a
decree of divorce at the last fall term Of
the Circuit Court. Since that time Cow
les has been madly incensed at her, and
has threatened to have revenge. On
Friday evening, shout 5 o'clock, Anna
Cowles was going out of town in a carriage,
with Mr.. Lite; teell Raymond, with whose fam
lily she was stopping When going off Of
the south side of canal bridge Mr.. Ham
mond and Mrs. Cowles were sitting on the
front seat of the wagon, Cowles got into
the wagon behind them, unobsecved, and
the first intimation Of his presence was gain
ed by his putting his hand on Jenny's shout
der, with the remark, s'Jenny, my girl,
I've got you at last Now, [ want you to
take back, before this man, what you have
said about me' To this the wom;n r.
piled, 81 don't want any thing to do with
you; get out, and let me alone" After
demanding the same thing again, and get
ting substantially the same answer, Cowles
threw one foot out of the wagon, as if he
was about to get out, but, pulling out a
revolver at the same time, he placed it
close to her head, when Raymond threw
his hand up, and the shot did not take eff
feet. He continued to fire, Raymond hold
ing his horses with one hand and fighting
him off with the other. In the meantime
Mr.. Wood came to the rescue, and clinch-
ing Cowles, and the horses starting, he was
dragged from the wagon and secured
Four shots were fred, one of which took
effect in the left temple Of the woman
She was quickly taken to the Office Of DR..
Hand, and Cowles was placed in Jail. An
examination proved that the ball entered
her skull, where it still remains. 1t is diff
fcult yet to tell what the result will be,
but hopes are entertained that she will
survive her wounds.

The time has been weary and long, love,
Since leaving them far off to roam;
They were wee tiny babies in the cradle
When papa was taken from home.
have dreampt of them often since then, lore
And have wept for them silent and lone;
And have oft in my dreams seen their faces,
As seen ere left them at home.

Then be kind to the darlings at home, love
Let nothing appear to give pain
Be tender and watchful for me, love,
Till papa comes home once again.
The time is at hand to depart, love,
To leave this lone spot for time,
To go to my children at home, love,
And ming!e my love, DEAR with thine,
Nor more will seek expect, love,
No other scene care to call,
Than to meet you all happy at home, love,
My wife and dear loved ones-my all.
