FAMILY JARs.-An unfortunate af-
fair, resulting, primarily, from matri.
monial alliance between an old man
whose sands Of life are nearly run, and
young woman scarcely out of he1
teens, and secondarily, from the selfish
and unwarrantable interference of the
old mans children by former marriage
took place, last week, in this city. The
parties are. Clinton Wilson, ST., and wife,
the former an old and respected resi-
dent of this county, and the latter, also,
well known and esteemed as maid and
woman. Their matrimonial venture has,
for considerable period, been toss
ing among the breakers, long series of
chickering's and aggravations finally cul-
minating in an open rupture, in which a
pistol, in. the hands of the wife, played a
prominent part. They have not lived
together for some months, he taking up
his abode with son-in-law, and she oc-
cupying the homestead. About week
ago Mr.. Wilson made overtures of rec
onciliation, which were accepted, and
the couple resumed their marital rela-
tions. The truce, however, continued
but about four days, when the old man,
with petulance incident to his age and
infrmaties, intensified, as some assert, by
evil counsels, began to carry things with
a high hand, smashing picture frames
over his wife's head, and performing an
tics highly improper, and foolhardy for
man Of even less experience of the
matrimonial yoke and-dropping meta
phor- the broomstick. This sort of treat
ment was too much for the Celtic blood
of the young wife, and so she inconti-
nently picked up the old man, and threw
him out of the house. The latter, rally
ing his weakening powers, and deter
mined to assert his position as the head
of the household or die in the attempt,
went at the door with club, when the
wife delivered shot from pistol,
through the door, which struck her lord
in the leg near the groin. Fortunately,
its force was so spent that it did not 60
through his clothes, and simply raised a
lump where it struck. 1t was enough,
however, to determine the question of
conjugal authority, and, not the first
time, the lord of creation had to succumb
to the inevitable woman, and surrender
at discretion. Complaint was lodged by
Mr.. Boon, son-in-law of the old man,
against Mrs. Wilson, for assault with in
tent to murder. The case came before
Esq Gillett, on Wednesday, who, upon
careful examination of the facts and
circumstances, concluded to discharge
the defendent, in the justice of which
judgment, the public generally seem to
coincide.

FRANK MEOW has just received
some of the genuine Cultivated Gran
berries, direct from his fathers marsh.
Any one using these berries may be
sure they are not eating the wild berry,
picked by Indians, and raked up with a
rake, bugs, grass, sticks and everything
that comes in contact with the rake, as
most of these wild berries are. These
berries are all picked by hand, and not
bought from Indians with whiskey. SO
when you wish to buy Cranberries to
eat, be sure that you get some of F.
Megow. You will save money by it, as
the berries do not require so much sugar
and have cleaner taste than most any
other berry. Price, from Sc to $3.50
per barrel. 11w3

PROBABLE SUIcIDE.-About half past

sing westward, about two miles this side
of Winthrop, the engineer saw a man
get up out Of the ditch on to the track
about 80 to IS feet in advance of the en-
CINE, and Immediately start to run in
the direction of the train. Efforts were
made to stop the train, but the distance
was too short, and the suicide for such
he evidently was-rushed upon his fate
the pilot passing between his legs and
throwing him upward against the end of
the boiler and tanning his head into
the space, about s inches wide, between
the front of the boiler and the frame.
When taken out, one side of his skull
was found crushed, and his brains ooz-
ing from a horrible cash therein, though
yet living. He was brought to town,
and Dr. a. H. Clarke was summoned
who at once pronounced his injuries ia
tai. He was yet living this morning,
and talked in an incoherent manner, but
he had lost three ounces of brain mat
ter, and his death can not be long delay
ed. He is stranger, and nobody, as yet,
has recognized him, though, from an ac-
count book, found on his person, it is
presumed that his name is Nathan r.
Trip. But nine cents in money was
found in his pockets, and the suppose
ton is, that discouraged by hard luck
and, possibly, dissipation, he determin-
ed to seek death in this terrible manner.

A Dose for ''Zenas," the ZealOt.

BUFFALO TOWNSHIP, Oct. IA, 70.
EDITOR BULLETIN:-In my last letter
| had occasion to refer to the Eighty re-
marks of B. +. Hammond, at one of
Geo. b. Warne's meetings in this town
ship. Now, it would seem that these
doctors of finance are not to be trihed
with, for there comes forward in the
last issue of the National Aduocate a
doughty defender of B. F.'s character.
This mighty ''Zenas," in the true spirit
Of the ingrained cur, gives the BULLE-
TIN good sound whack, and then goes
for your humble servant As far as B.
rs character is concerned, it took one
possessed of just the fine perceptions of
"Zenas' to find anything in my article
rejecting in the least on the character
Of any one My letter was a truthful
account of the meeting and for the
comments of my Greenback friends, |
can refer 'Zcnas' to the men them
selves, if he wishes. 1t has always been
a mystery to the uninitiated where our
wiseacres of finance got their knowledge,
but here we have it: they have derived
it Of this person ''Zenas, gift from
Jupiter Now if Jupiter has any more
consignments for Buffalo township, it
will be quite favor if they are not ac-
companied with so much of the drivel
and falsity of ''Zenas, and more of the
genuine bursts of eloquence that he
tells about. Now | would just say to
Mr.. "Zenas, that calling hard names is
not my forte, and that it is not quite
consistent in him to berate me as a
coward for not appending my own sig
nature to my article, and then for him
to sneak off and hide behind his nom de
plume.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this will not be
intruding upon your patience too much,
give it place in your paper, and then
my wordy warfare will be done with
"Zcnas." If Mr. Hammond has any
grievance to complain of, | can be found
in Buffalo township, at any time, in the
flesh that will hold out sixteen ounces
to the pound every time.
