Mr.. James Morgan, the engineer aof

city, at 4:25 O'Clock noticed as he an
preached the bridge, that something was
lying upon the track. He Immediately
applied the air brakes, and reversed his

the cowcatcher striking it threw it from

The point of the log which was a very

A SINGULAR CASE or DEsERTioN -
A white woman whom il is said Is
respectfully connected, and who has a
husband and several small children,
deserted them some time ago, and
took up her residence with negro on
the hills, near Bircbrunville, Chester
county. On Friday night last, the hus-
band and number of his white
friends visited the residen &c of the
guilty pair and epdeav0red TO rescue
the women and if possible cbastise her
paramour. AssoOn as the husband asd
his friends made th cir appearance on
the ground,an alarm was sounded and
small army of negroes were soon upon
the spot. A desperate fight ensued
which resulted in victory for the
colored folks, they outnumbering
largely the whites, who were com
pelled to retreat in hot haste. How a
white woman with a comfortable home
and surrounded by an interesting fam
lily could leave them and lake up her
abode with negro in miserable
shauty passeth all understanding.
