A Wamaa'a -Frwnwiert Defease) at Iler Bepatatlon Tbe Ramaatle Stary af Hlaadered Wife and a Jealeus II ne- kaad. St. Pan! Globe. 1 On Tuewlay last Sheriff Nugent, of Wright County, brought to this city Mrs. James' Townsend, whom he lodged in jail to await the action of the next Grand Jury, she being charged with an assault that 411 ay yet prove the death of the victim.
Mrs. Townsend was visited in Jail yesterday by a Globe representative, tor the purpose of gathering the particulars of the alleged crime. Without being handsome, her face is decidedly preposessing. and bcr intelligence being above the ordinary type, she told the story of the assault with remarkable precision and apparent veracity. Mrs.
Town-send was married a year ago to Mr. Town-send, who is sixty years of age, and since that time she has continued to live with him at his farm in Corinna Township. Both had been previously married, and Mr. Townsend has a daughter, Augusta, aged sixteen years. The relationship between this man and his wife has been of the most cordial and happy character until recently.
Early last spring, however, a man named William Dunham, thirty-two years of age, obtained a position in the Townsend household as the hired man. He signalized bis entrance into the family circle by commencing the most devoted attention to the young daughter, Augusta. His attentions to her were extremely distasteful to the stepmother, Mrs. Townsend, who became posesscd with the idea that-Dunharu had either accomplished Augusta's ruin or would encompass it. and on July 3d last she succeeded in causing Augusta's removal to Clearwater, Wright County, where the latter has since remained, Mrs.
Townsend hoping thereby to wean the girl from her infatuation. Of late Mrs. Townsend had noticed whispered conferences between her husband and Dunham, which wonld take place when the two were nearthe barn and out of other people's earshot. Prompted by the curiosity inherent in every uaugnter 01 ive, 8HK STOLE DOWX CTOJf THESI On one occasion, and licard some fragmentary remarks which induced her to believe she was tbe object of talk in these secret barn-door conclaves. Lost Sunday, toward evening, while she was playing "Home, that there was a nest of cub bears somewhere I nd tackle, actually owned by persons im-1 Sweet Home," on the organ, Dunham came in the neighborhood, so on that day I concluded that I would put in my time finding them, as a party up in Uniontown wanted a pair to send over to Baltimore to a friend who was fond of outlandish pets.
"You see that It was along about the 1st of September, and pretty warm at that, and after walking up and down the ravines I began to get pretty tired. I was not so heavy then as I am now, and did not weigh more than a couple of hundred pounds. As I said, I was a little tired, and so, up on top of the ridge I sat down by the. sido of a smooth chestnut stump about twelve or fourteen feet high. I hadn't aat there more than a minute until I heard something inside the stump, and soon made out that is was a couple of cub bears playing with one another.
1 looked on an sides ot the stump to una an opening, but none was to be seen. Then I happened to notice the marks of claws up the side of the stump, and I understood it. The hole went in at the top. I set my gun against a bush, up-ended the branch of a tree, and was soon at the top of the stump, looking in at the twdcubs, which were about tlie size of full-grown rat dogs. "I was so excited that I jumped down into tbe stump and grabbed the cubs.
They first began to squeal, and then turned on me for fight. But they were small enough to handle, and in a minute or two I had their mouths tied so that they could not bite, and their feet fastened so that they could not scratch. 'I knew that the old bear would be along pretty soon, and make it hot for me if she found me in the nest, so I swung the youngsters into my buskskin belt preparatory to getting out. "Get out? Did I get out? Land of love! it makes me shiver to think of it yet. I could no more get out of that stump than I could fly.

"in no way couiu 1 get up a looc lucre were no sticks inside to help me up, and I made up my mind I bad to die certain.
About the time 1 came to this conclusion I heard the old bear climbing up the outside of tbe stump. With only my hunting-knife as a means of defense, and in such close quarters, yoa msy possibly imagine the state of my feelings. '-The old bear was not more than half a minute, at the outside, climbing up the stump, but it seemed like a mouth, at least. I thought of all my sins a dozen times, at least. At last she reached the top, but she didn't seem to suspect my presence at ail, as she deliberately turned around and began slowly descending, tail foremost.
"I lei as though my last hour had come, and began seriously to think about lying down and let the bear kill me, so as to get out of my misery as quickly as possible. Suddenly an idea struck me, and desjiair gave way to hope. I drew my hunting-knife and stood on tip-toe. When the bear was about seven feet fom the bottom of the hol low, I fastened on ber tail with my left band with a vice-like grip, and with my right drove ray hunting-knife to the hilt into-dier hauncn. at me same wmeyeiiinguaea wuoie tribe of Indians." "What did she do?" chorused the wholo crowd, who had been holding their breath.

A keg of powder wouldn't have hurried her a hair's breadth to the minute. I held on until we struck the ground, ome thirty feet from the stump.

His presence caused her to tremble vio lently, but she continued the music for some minutes. She then told him he must quit the premises, to which he replied, in effect that if he left she would have to leave also, as he would tell her husband something about her that would lead to her being driven out With that she ran down to the lake, where her husband was, and told him what Dunham had threatened to say.
Townsend said Dunham had already told it Dunham had accused Mrs. Townsend of tin-chastity to her husband. Sinking down upon her knees in the sand of the lake shore she asked her husband if he believed Dunham, and Townsend said he did. "Will you not believe me, your own wife, before him?" she frenziedly asked. "I don't know," he answered vacilatingly.
"Hero, on my bended knees before she pleaded, "I assure you by all that is holy and good that Dunham has lied to vou. In stead of believing him you ought to defend your wife's honor. I have' ALWAYS BEEN TBCK TO YOU, Have always loved you, and have been a good wife to you. Save me from this disgrace. It is a lie from beginning to end." This did not seem to soften the obdurate husband.
She saw that his mind had been poisoned by Dunham and she became wild with passion. "I know," she said, "I was crazy, and yet I remember every little thing I did." She then went back to the house, preceding her husband through the gate. Dunham was si tti mr on the steps and two or three neighbors were present Lying at the foot of the tree near the house were two axes.onc double-bitted and the other bitted. She seized them both, walked up to where Dunham was sitting, and threw the double-bitted ax at him, but he avoided the murderously-pro- hand, in the struggle which ensued she gashed him terribly on the left side of the neck, but he clasped her around her neck and held her while the blood from his frightful wound saturated her clothing through and through. Letting her go at length, her husband grasped her by the throat and CHOKED HER TILL SHE WAS BREATHLESS And black in the face, his linger inarms being yet yisi ble under her chin.
Somebody called out "Stop this blood!" which caused Twn- hands, or lie might have front of the reporter, yesterdsy. she. at this point of her story, stretched her arms widely and wildly, then clasped her hands in agony over her forehead and burst into a flood of uncontrollable tenrs, through which she ex claimed. "My God sir, what was I to do when my own husband refused to defend my honor or his child's?" Released by her husband, Mrs. Townsend went down to the lake, got into a boat, and, after rowing about therein for a short time, went to a neighbor's house and said: "I have killed Will Dunham.

LOtit* SACBIFICE.
The Kaaalaaaeaaea af a Urf. tSaa Franciaca Golden Era.) It was tbe last act of my mission as a detective before leaving New Orleans for San Francisco in the spring of 1849; and I may add that it is the saddest memory connected witn my career as a detective. In one of the fashionable millinery establishments of that city was a young girl named Mary KUiston. She was very young, but with a character formed by the sad experience which is sure to be met within the l'fe of an orphan. She bad clear, beautiful gray eyes, cheeks soft and delicate as the leaf of the rose; brown curly bair shaded a low, broad forehead, instinct with intellect and intelligence.
She was small in figure, but the petite form was faultless in its exquisite delicacy of outline and contour. It was impossible not to love her, if to such physical beauty is added tbe generous and kind heart she really possessed. It is not surprising that such a girl bad many admirers. It would be strange if she had But there were two who. from their devotion and her treatment, acquired a preeminence, over the rest.
Indeed, the sphere they moved in was far above that of the little milliner. She believed they loved her; and, notwithstanding the great difference in their social position, believed they meant kindly. That they loved Is certain. They were jealous: and more than once a hostile meeting was imminent between them. 1 Her from the store led by Jackson Square.
It was not as beautiful then as now, but its rich foliage and elegant bowVrs even at that day excited admiration. One evening, as she passed along the river side of the square, she was met by Lusiand Lacour, the richest and most persevering of her admirers, but the one whom she favored least. Indeed, it was said she disliked him, and on one occasion had resented bitterly an insult voice raised she passed him that evening in front of tbe iron gate. Standing there a moment she entered the square, from which a half hour afterward she was seen to hurry away with every aign of distress and intense excitement I It was but a few minutes after this that young Lacour was found murdered, lying on the iron bench with a short Spanish dagger through his heart The girl had been known to possess such a weapon the gift of one she never named. This was all.
Of course almost everv one believed her to be the assassin. I could not I had seen too much of criminal life to mistake its characteristics. That girl 'was innocent I knew. When arrested she protested her innocence in language frantic and wild. Terror hod made her forgetful, seemingly of look and action, and she gave way to the most excessive paroxysms of grief and distress.
After she was taken to the station Mr. L. and myself visited her, to see if we could learn any thing of the case. We felt more like friends than detectives. The sad orphanage of the young girl eit-listcd our deepest sympathy and touched our hearts they would have been flintyi, indeed, had they not softened at her distress.
I never saw such anguish before. Thc pale, beautiful face was almost wild with terror. She was frantic one moment and sobbing, walking, and terror-stricken tho next As we entered tho cell she threw herself at my feet and, lifting her face, so pale and beau- uiui, waucaout: "I am innocent, sir I am innocent." "I believe you arc, Mary; and it was to help you that we came here." "I could not do such a deed, sir; indeed I could not" "I know that; but, Mary, do yoa know who did?" She lifted- her "face quickly, and a wild, frightened expression crossed it, and then it grew like marble in an instant She did not reply, but I never saw one in whom hope seemed so suddenly and utterly to have fled as that girl then. "I repeated my question: "Do you know who did. Mary?" She shook her head and remained silent I told her that we were satisfied that she was innocent but to establish this it was necessary to bring the real criminal to justice.
She could help us in this. But she still shook her head. "Mary, Paul Villiel is the man She sprang to her feet and screamed out rather than spoke her denial. 'No, no, no, not him it was it was I. I did itl I'll acknowledge it now punish me if you will, but do not accuse him do not let him be arrested It was plain to me now.

The parish church stands on a brow looking over the beach, and hard by is the Lazaretto, an ungainly structure of gray stone surrounded by a lawn.
The country round about is naked and uninhabited. The waves, rolling, over a shallow strand, keep up a monotonous sobbing, which tbe cries of tbe gull and curlew overhead do not relieve. Except the fishermen, who ply their calling in a quiet, timid wit, as though afraid to disturb the sufferers on the hill, there is no sign of human life. Occasionally two or three of the Hotel Dieu nuns, who have charge ef the patients, or a Trappist monk, whoheips the sisters in their awful mission, nits up and down the street, and at rare intervals a traveler conies along, but, like the prudent Levite, "passes by on the other The Lazaretto was built in 1347. Prior to that the lepers were caged in a wooden house, on Sheldrako Island in the Miramichi River.
The disease has been the subject of consideration for several medical commissions appointed by the New Brunswick Government, which fax its first appearance in this Province in 1758, although they differ widely as to its true nature. in that year a French trading vessel, the Indienue, which had just come off the Levant trade, ran into Windy Bay with a general cargo for fur barter. hue entering the bay the vessel was caught in a sudden gale and stranded, going to pieces ddnng the night. The fishermen came to the aid of nnon bis tipper lip and err. "Unclean, un out ne was torcea so aweu none; without tbe camp shall his habitation be." For mora than sixty years the victims were seized, suffered their unspeakable misery, and died thus in their solitude; for it was not until 1818 that the provincial authorities bad money enough to be humane.
oocen shanties were then pnt tap for the reception of the afflicted, and as a rule those who had recovered from the disease were employed as nurses. In 1840 Dr. La Billots, or Dalhosie, N. attended the Traced ie sufferers, and rendered heroic service. In 184 a Medical Commission built the refuge 00 Sheldrake Island, and three years later the Provisional Government built the iracaaie rest-nouse.

KENNEDY'S KINGDOM. What Canatltmea taa Wealth af a Weat- arn Texas ItCae-k Haa. San Antonio (Texas) Express. Mr. Cox, of this city, has just re turned from a tour to Corpus Christi and vicinity, and furnishes our reporter with an interesting statement of the wealth and sur roundings of Mr.
Kennedy, whose ranch is located on. the coast just south of the town of Corpus. Mr. Kennedy came to Texas from the State of Pennsylvania many yearn ago. being of the Uuaker Jiy economy, earnest toil and gentlemanly' de portment, he won the esteem ot Ins acquaint ances and waxed wealthy.
Little Dy little he has gathered a fortune about him to become a millionaire. His main ranch is lo cated on a peninsula, as stated, just south of Corpus. The fence which runs across its neck dividing it from the main land, is fifty- one miles in length, ltesides this inclosure. there is another pasture a short distance be yond being fenced, the length of the fence to be twenty-two miles. The area embraced within these two iuclosures is 350 square miles, or more territory than makes the State of Rhode Island.
Besides this great domain Mr. Kennedy owns several addi tional leagues of land which he also expects to ience this year, liis possessions in the way of live stock are also very large, and consist at 40,000 bead of cattle, Ij.OUO head of horses and mules, and 7,000 head of hogs. Mr. Kennedy's cattle are rapidly being im proved by breeding with the imrhaiu and Bremah. Hisestimated wealth is $1,000,000.
Mr. Kennedy also owns a large interest in the Corpus Christi, San Diego and Rio Grande Railroad, which is now completed to the Precenos, forty-nve lies from the start ing point. Engines and rolling stock have been sent for to better equip the road. It is not calculated to run the road by San Diego unless the people subscribe $15,000. The road has damaged rather than benefitted Corpus Christi.
Mr. Kennedy lives in happiness with his family, which is, like himself, refined, moral and intelligent He Is independent, and asks nothing of any man without return. Hat Fllrtatiaa.

A saake Charming aa Alligator.
Lake City (Fla.) Reporter. At the plantation of Mr. Turner, near Lake City, Honda, a most singular scene oc curred the charming of a thirteen-foot al ligator by a rattlesnake. The snake first saw the alligator, and with -his rattles attracted the latter attention. Then began tho charming process, which lasted fully half an hour.
The alligator at first turned his bead once or twice, bat was immediately called to order by the rattles of the snake. Toward the end of the half-hour, with fixed eyes, the alligator moved slowly toward his deadly enemy until within striking distance. when the snake curled himself more con- pactly, and with all the strength he could muster struck the alligator. For a moment tho alligator shook tremulously, and then, as il by made a semi-circling backward movement peculiar to the species, and brought his tail 4own upon the snake with taiai enecu The Unita Cattolica is authority for the louowing: me Beatification ot IX. tbe Great proceeds very satisfactorily.

As the writer of this article was wandering the other day in the vicinity of tbe once lovely Elysian Fields at Hoboken, he found himself conversation with a "gossip." and heard related the following story: "You see. talking of Hoboken and old times, brings to my mind the sad case of that New York girl who was supposed to have been murdered hereabouts. Well, she was murdered or spirited away, or something; at all events, she was missed all of a sudden like, and that was the last of her. though they picked up a dead body wnicn tney thought was bet's, but nobody knows for certain." i "Yes, I remember something about it, but you see it's nearly forty years ago, and a man a memory aiu so clear about things so far back." Let me think; her name was Mary Rogers they used to her the pretty cigar-girl. She used to live in Nassau street, New York, along with ber mother, who was a widow.
Tbcy had lived there for years, and kept a boarding-house between 'em. Mary grew up a very oeauuiut woman. and many a love-sick fellow raved about her beauty and disputed for the honor ot tier company. She bad a tine form; sparkling eyes, and a mass of glossy black hair; bu her beauty only brought ber trouble, poor child. I "Among her numerous admirers was Mr.
John Anderson, a New York tobacconist. He offered her a liberal salary for her services as cashier in bis establishment Well, handsome Mary made Anderson's place the popular resort for; city swells and all who had money to spend, and things went on pleasantly and prosperously for about a I "Suddenly Mary was missed, and as sud denly she returned, but not before rumor got busy with her reputation. "When the girl came back after her strango absence it was noticed that she whs not tho same. A secret sorrow was scarcely concealed by the forced smile with which she greeted the familiar customers, bhe would fire npat any reference to her disappearance, until the subject was finally dropped, and things went on much as usual, only that the girl got more moody and strange in her behavior. I Well, about six months passed, when ah was again missed from her post, never to re turn.
"Nobody knows just- the rights of it, bnl it's supposed she was murdered. For three days nothing was heard of her. On the fourth two fishermen were passing Sybil's Cave, near Castle Point Holtokcn, in a fish ing-smack, when they came across the body of a woman floating in the water. "Well, they got the body ashore, ami then they found that the unfortunate woman had been brutally outraged, and there waa no doubt that her murderer had thrown the body Into the river." "Hut was this the body ot Mary KogcrsT" asked the writer. I Oh, I think that's pretty certain.
Of course, there was great many stories got about at the time as to how the murder was committed: some didn't take any stock in the murder at all, and others declured it wasn't Mary Rogers' body that was found. Kut you see, sir, there was a bit ot lace tied round her neck, and somctxHly recognized this lace as belonging to Mary, and the girl's mother identified the clothes found 011 the body. Then, Mary had a lovtr by tho name of Daniel Payne, and when the body was found he recognized it, and gave orders for its burial. Well, it was buried; but at none of the girl's family had. seen the remains they were taken uo and examined, but nothing was learnt as to the secret of the girl's death.
There were lots of people arrested on suspicion, but they were all discharged. The police raised a hue and cry. but the mystery remained as dark as ever. Did it-create tnv excitement?" I should say it did. Why.
every bod knew the girl. Her previous ilisappearancs aud her great beauty made her a mark 101 public comment; besides, it was regarded aa so ntrocious ammo that, public feeling rail high against the dastardly periietrntors ol the deed. I No, they had no 'means of tracing her. She was last seen talking with a man, sup posed to be her lover, Mr. Payne, at th corner of Beekman street This wus on the day she was 'missed.
It was afterward learned that when Mary left her room she told her mother that she was going out for a walk and would soon return. She had also requested Mr. Payne, who was at one tim engaged to her, to on II at bcr aunt's tor lief in the evening. He did not call on the evening of that day on account of a storm coming on, afld il was because she did not return the following day that they commenced a search. "Well, so every body tliouglit: it looks black, indeed, for some one: it's truly a mystery.
Tbe secret is still hidden, and thai murderer of Mary Rogers Is still at large." After replenishing our glasses and lighting a fresh cigar each, the reporter asked "fes to where Mary was last seen alive. "All, said the gossip, Vlhat brings Ul back to this spot.

Well, excur- slonlsts from Xew York used to tunfce it a resort for picnics, and they used to come out by the thousand to enjoy themselves. On Sundays there was always a big crowd. Whole families might be seen sporting on the grass, or promenading amid the cool shades surrounding Castle Point "Well, what I am; telling you now wasn't known until long after the supposed murder. Up at the turnpike! there was a small inn kept by Mrs. Martin.
On the "night Mary Rogers disappeared this woman says a girl, accompanied by a gentleman, came to her place just as she was closing up, and they drank a glass of wine. They left, but instead of the main rood, Mrs. Martin says they went through a thicket I Shortly afterward aha was startled by a noisy pounding at her door, and some drunken men demanded admit lance. She refused to let them in, and they went but were seen some time after going toward the river. They were known to have been rowed across to New York.
"Now, this Mrs. Martin declares that short while before these men knocked at her door she distinctly heard the screams of female, and a stage-driver also said that ha saw Mary cross a Hoboken ferry on -that particular Sunday, in company with a man answering the description of the une seen by Mrs. Martin at her place. Then a hat. a silk scarf and a pair of gloves, which were proved to have belonged to Alary, were found in tlie thicket I "So you see, sir, Hoboken is closely identi fied with the murder of the unfortunate cigar-girl of New York; and folks do.
