A DANGEROUS WIFE TO JOKE WTH,-The
Fort Worth (TeXas) Democrat says: ftMar-
shal Conrtright, OF this town, thought OF
joking his wife. Arriving at home at a late
hour, he entered the front gate, carefully
closing it. Cautiously cropping his way
thither, what was his surprise to see the
right hand Of his wife lying on the sill Of
the window. On her fingers she had two
gold rings, one of which he proceeded to
take off. 1t being rather loose, be eXpe-
rienced but little trouble, and succeeded
in the operation without waking her up.
The remaining ring was a much tighter
dit, and, in his effort to extricate 1t.
his wife awoke, finding her hand grasped
from without by some one whom she
at once concluded was a robber. Quickly
pulling her hand away, she was about to
scream, but thinking Of a convenient six
shooter under her pillow, she again placed
her sjeWelled hand on the sill, which was
srasped by the supposed burglar, and with
The other she quietly reached for the pistol,
and, rising suddenly, brought it to bear on
her husband. But for .nis presence OF mind
In quickly calling her she would have shot
him dead. Mrs. Courtright displayed great
presence of mind, fortitude, and courage,
and the Marshal should be proud OF pos
sessing q wife SO fearless and brave. His
narrow escape has completely cured him OF
any further desire to. play the role OF mid
night robber." T.. !:

MARKABLE PETRIFACTIoN.-The
Portland Oregonian Of August 18th con-
tains this unbelievable story: Judge E. c.
Bronaugh has attached to his Watch-chain a
little amulet or charm, which, aside from its
peculiar history, is very pretty in itself. 1t
Is nothing more or less than petrified rose
bud. During the rebellion young nephew
Of Judge Bronaugh, while. in one Of the
southern States, wrote home to his mother,
and enclosed in the letter q rosebud.
The letter arrived safely at its destina-
ton, and, after having been j perused,
was laid aside with the rosebud in q
drawer, where it remained for eight or
nine months. When the drawer was over
hauled and the letter again brought to light
the rosebud it contained was discovered to
be petrifed. The Judges aunt recently
sent the stone to him at this place, and he
placed il in the hands OF ieweller for the
purpose OF having it fitted TO carry on his
watch-chain. The petrifaction is so very
hard that while trying to drill hole in it
two or three tools were broken before the
object was accomplished. It is a perfect
rosebud, and so we'll preserved that the
finest fibres are to be seen.. What pecuilari-
ties of air, earth, or water could have
changed the tender rosebud into hard,
almost diamond-like substance in.the short
space Of nine months is to US mystery"

A California paper describes "the latest
thing out,, as 4 new horseshoe made out
OF three thicknesses OF raw hide compressed
together by heavy pressure. 1t is said to
isst longer, weighs only one-fourth as much
as the common shoes, never splits the moor,
and has no bad influence on the foot. 1t IS
so elastic that the horses step is never un-
certain. This will remind the farmers who
drove cattle and horses across the plains In
early days OF the fact, now almost forgot

cattle, end horses, too, were often shod
with shoes made out OF buffalo hide, cut
from the neck, where the skin is almost an

TIE HESRICo SHOOTING CAsE.-Daniel +.
Ward, who stands charged with shooting.
on Sunday morning last, negro boy named
Gaines at the old Fairfield race course, ap-
peared before Judge E. c. Minor yesterday
ut his office on writ Of hdbeaS corpus, sued
out by Wards counsel on an application for
bail. S. NJ. Page, counsel for Ward, raised
the point in the outset that the accused was
improperly held; that the city OF Richmond
did not have jurisdiction in the case; that
the warrant under which his client had
been arrested was issued by William Single
ton, Justice OF Henrico county, and that
warrant required that the prisoner should
be brought before him or some other justice
OF the county, and that he had been ar
rested by captain Of police OF this city.
Mr.. Wise said that no officer OF the county
had ever arrested Mr.. Ward, and that Cap
tain Peasants arrested him not by virtue OF
the authority OK the warrant sworn out by
4 county magistrate, but because the fact
that felony hSd been committed came to
his knowledge, and it was his duty in such
a case to arrest the party so soon as he was
made known to him. He further contended
that the authority that had possession OF the
prisoner had the right to try him. SO far
as be was concerned, he didn't care where
ne was lfieu. nc appealeu Only III tue
|habeas-corpuS case as to bail. 49,
Judge Minor said there was no doubt
about the law-no doubt about the county
and city having concurrent jurisdiction in
the case-but he was Of opinion that the
case was properly before the city courts
and ought not to be remanded to the county.
On the application for bail, DR.. Crane,
the attending physician, was examined as
to the wound and condition of the injured
party. The Doctor stated that four shot
(smalD had entered the abdomen, but he had
fears of only two. He had seen the wound

and his condition was improved, but very
slightly so. 1t would take about nine days
to say what the result would be. II the
