SALEM JAIL.
At Pennsgroye, yesterday afternoon, lively
encounter took place between party OF the
"Old Church Rangers " Of this city and the Jer-
seymen, which sinks into the shade the famous
shad wars. The Jerseymen had a decided ad-
vantage, and won as decided victory. They
had the prestige Of their own "barn-yard," and
beside this had to contend with the spirit OF
their own whiskey, which although in new ma
terial, they knew how to manage.
1t seems that party Of the Hangers" were
spending the day at Pennsgrove, and that one
John Edwards became drunk and offensive, for
which he was thrust out of some place, proba-
bly, the pavilion. He then mustered his men af-
ter the fashion of mob in Church street, and
proceeded at once to avenge the insult. They
formed, it is represented to us, in regular pro-
cession, and headed by Edwards, marched up
and down the park evidently i'll search Of
some one, menacing and insulting poo
pie, until a Jersey constable, aided by q
number of citizens, made descent upon Ed
wards and undertook to arrest him. This brought
on lively time, when pistols and knives were
hourished and glstened In the air, but finally
the Wilmington crowd WAS driven off, and Ed
wards placed under arrest. He was afterwards
examined before q magistrate, who held him in
$500, in default of which we understand he WAS
sent to Salem jail. No one WAS hurt in the
melee, although the park WAS crowded with
numerous excursionists from this city, Pniladel-
phia, New Castle and the interior Of Jersey.

fathers house, and tho wife took rooms with
another woman, and supported herself by sew
ing. Subsequently Brown so annoyed her. that
she WAS obliged to have him arrested for descr-
ton, and he was in prison about a month. This
no doubt, caused the crime.
On Saturday evening" Mrs. Brown, with her
friend, Mrs. Smith, had been at tho Park, when
on returning by Lemon Hill, Brown met them and
after a few words with his wife drew sharp
knife. aud plunged ii into her neck, ,severing the

turned just in time to see him draw it from her
throat. He then ran rapidly away, and escaped
