CoNGREssIoNAL.-The Senate yester-
day passed the post-office appropriation
bill, and got half way through the
agricultural appropriation bill. Efforts
were resumed to cut down the rentals
for postal cars and for the eastern fast
mail service, North and South, but all
these amendments were defeated. Sec
rotary Morton was present during the
debate on the agricultural bill. 1t
brought out animated discussion of the
proposition to amend the meat inspec-
ton system in order to get American
meats into foreign countries.
In the House the day was spent in
discussing the naval appropriation bill.
Considerable opposition was manifested
TO the proposed increase of the navy by
building three battleships and twelve
torpedo boats.

james NJ. Creighton, quite an old
man, OF Salisbury, who wac married
to Mics Elizabeth Holman, OF Ma.
con county, aged about 40 years, ON
Sunday, Nov. 18th, 1895, is nursing
wound in his neck. inflicted by
pair OF scissors in the hands of his
new spouse last Friday.
1t seems that they had not found
smooth soiling from the very fret
launching of their matrimonial bark.
Finally separation was agreed
upon with the understanding that
she should be given q So dress and q
railroad ticket home.
According to agreement, the dress
and railroad ticket were purchased,
but in the mean time Mrs. Creighton
had changed her mind and refused to
depart, whereupon Mr.. Creighton
took the new frock away from his
wife, which made her so mad that she
flew at aim in q rage and stabbed
him in the neck with pair of scissors,
only missing his juglar vein about
an eighth of an inch.
Mr.. Creighton went to DR.. Welch's
office to have the CHASTITY wound
dressed, and Mrr. Creighton repaired
to the depot and boarded the fret
train for her former home.
She returned. however, to Salisbury
lastMonday when che and he talked
over their troubles. and che expressed
adesire that they live together as
man and wife, and he said be was satis-
fed, thatall he wanted Was "to live to.
gether az man and wife,"
And now the white winged dove of
peace hovers over the Creighton
household, we trust never to depart.
