It is Only known that Strahan expressed a desire to dine on roast beef, upon which Ji«: 8; iaid that she abomi nated beef and- stated , der preference to roast turkey with: oyster aause—Strahan considered turkey aft child’s food, “hc’dhave beef or noth ing. ” She’d have. turkey;. and thus commenced the war of Straban’s. Oneordered the butcher not to hare fowl; the other gave striok injunc tions not to bare beef brought into the house; between them they were both likely to starve if thejr remained at homo; so the doctor went to the village tavern and dined on beef, while Mrs. S. visited some of her friends' and partook of turkey. After dinner I}r, S. gave a wine supper in the room which be dignified by the name of study, a sort of variety store, in which he kept his li brary, a writing desk and spittoon. Here were; also two ,glass-cases;' one of which contained a giant’s skeleton, hung on wires, in the other was an Egyptian Mummy. The walls were hung with curiosities of all descriptions; among them a cane from a tree which grew over the grave, of Wasiungtqp, ,a snuff box from wood of the Charter OaJt»StwiU see,”’and the gentleman walk ed out of the room, looked! the door, put the key into his pocket and left the, house. s Mrs. S. did not set down and ; burst into a flood of tears, but waited ■patiently for the ser vant to .return whom she had sent for the car riage. When he arrived, she told him, through the keyhole,, to return ' the horsel to the stable, and place, a ladder up against the study .win-; dowi The ladderwas placed , according to di rections and a turkey, with oysters and pastry, was taken up to her, The ladder : wos then re moved, and everything prepared for the re-ap pearance of her’husbanfi.’ ■ f ; About the middle of the. afternoon,, the doc tor returned home, stepped softly through the hall tpwaid the study door, and peeped through the keyhole, expecting ,to see a picture of humility and : contrition.. s Judge of his surprise, then, when he saw Mrs; S. sitting before his Jong on ker right his he^metal ,and a grate over it, on which she was roasting his mammoth specimens of apples;' sweet pota toes, and her turkey.

For a few minutes he stood and thought j| what course it was best to pursue. Suddenly recollecting the ladder, he hastened down tbe;;stairs and .through the hall, out doors, leaiying jthe door unlocked and the key in-it. His‘footsteps had scarce died on the stairway, before his wife had removed both coses from thp door, and drawn the bolt and stood in the entry. It was but the workofa" moment to throw the remaining letters, poems and manuscripts hr the fire, remove the wine and eatables, locktjhe door upon the outside and place thekey |in hejr pocket. hlpanwhile |the doctor was raising the ladder to the window, and by the time he had placed it and ascended half its' length, his wife with her favorite man Servant were watching him from a lower window. 1 The doctor pushed up the windLw and jump ed in, the servant jumped out of the lower window and pulled down the ladder. In an in stant Strahan saw that his bird had flown, and jhe rushed back to the window just as the lad der reached the ground. ‘‘Pat the ladder tip here again,” roared the doctor from the upper window. “Let it stay where it is,” cried the wife from the lower window.

And John went into the house leaving the medical gentleman heapingi curses upon every body including his wife and servant John. All night long the doctor was kept a prison er. 1 Just before she-retired his wife put her lips to the keyhole and whispered: '• What success in taming a shrew, doctor ?” The next morning she came to the door and called, “Doctor!” ; “ Madam,” replied that gentleman. “Should you like Some breakfast ?” “ I’m nfft particular.” “ There is cold turkey left if you would like it” The doctor deigned no reply, and the lady again left him alone;' [ During the afternoon she again tapped at his door, and called, “Doctor!” } •] “ Well, my Very humbly. “Would yod like pome dinner?" “ I should.’’ i “ Will cold turkey-do for yen?” “Anything,;my dear.” “If X will let you out will you promise never to look me .up again?”, . “I will.” “ An'd neyer object to my eating turkey again ?” “Never,” . “ And attempt to 'f tame a shrew’ again ?” “ Never.” i v : ;f “ Then—you— may—c6me— out.” And the lady unlocked'and threw open the door. --i ...

Mr. Willis in the Home Journal thus describes M. Blondin’s passage oyer the Niagara river in the character of an Indian Chief: “After being dressed in his flesh-colored tights, wampum apron, bead necklace, and moccasins,' he came out (with his particularly uncombed sandy hair uncovered as yet by its crown of feathers,) to look a little into the ar rangements for his performance. For fifteen 'or twenty minutes the little Tecumseh was hop ping about, trying the cords which held the ropes to the" stanchions, cocking the pistol which •was to be fired to announce bis return, giving directions for the music, binding, the ligatures of his balance pole, and answering very merrily all tne jokes and questions of the lookers-en.— In his motions, back and forward, he took no regular step; he simply bounded. Like a child’s soap bubble, the difficulty seemed to be to get to the ground—to keep from floating away.— During all this time, of course, I had the de sired, opportunity for the study of his face. It was one which nineteen ; people out of twenty, on seeing it in a crowd, would pass over as wholly uninteresting—the twentieth and more obser vant man giving him a good look, as one of the most coolly determined and honestly spunky lit tle fellows he bad ever seen. The top of his skull, of course, is very high with his bump of firmness. His cheek-bones are prominent, bis nose straight and with thin expanded nostrils, bis lips thin and firm, his cheeks hollow and pale, and he wears a. sandy moustache and im perial—-ala Louis Napoleon. Though anything but a beauty, be is a man it is impossible not to take to. ( Retiring to his shanty for a minute -or two, after all was arranged, his re appearance was announced by a grand utmost iana from the band, and forward came Tecum eeh, with a high crown of many colored feath ers oh his head—not with a slow pace as would be expected from an Indian Chief, but dancing a jig all the way to the precipice. It was curi ous, however, that the smile on his lip : and his other signs of merriment for the many were al together mechanical and artificial, while the closely pressed eyelid, through which his keen blue eye was hardly visible, showed the inper mind’s utter absorption,and concentration in the work he had to do. The rope Was drawn from shore to shore, eight hundred feet across, and two hundred and fifty feet high over the Niagara rapids—a peri lous bridge for human feet to walk! I took hold of his arm as be stood trying the rope for a moment with the ball of hisfoot. It was like a bunch of iron-wire, wholly uhimpressible.— And away he went—his moccasined' feet hug ging the two sides of the swaying cable, his bal ance-pole playing up and doenC and his little figure gradually diminishing as he walked stead ily on and reached the middle of the chasm Where he proceeded to stand upon one leg and hold the other out at right angles.. The specta tors, of . course, were all breathlessly 1 silent; though I found it much more breathless to think of afterwards than to. spe done. He did it with such apparent ease and certainty, that it was like seeing a bird fly or a spider walk the ceil ing—not to be wondered at for that kind of creature. lam inclined to think it would be more startling (better enabling one to imagine himself in the performer’s place), if he were to do it in common (Slothes. ■ Looking scarcely lar ger than a butterfly as he reached the opposite Shore, Blondin remained fifteen or twenty min utes out of sight, and then the pistol was fired to announce his return. He came quickly onto the centre where he stopped to lie down at full length on the rope, and execute various pos tures and gymnastics ; and, between this and Ms reaching our shore again, he made several pretended trips, as if losing bis balance—the •creams of the affrighted ladies at this, very comically varying the’ tuno which was. being en deayored by the hand. As he came up the slant of the rope again, I'saw that his lips were tight ly drawn together and his features -were rigidly set with the mental exertion, and it was ah ei- - preasiott of ' face that would be worth painting as a type of determined will.

Curious Story of a Lost ißauk-Note, ■ In the year 1740; one of the ihe Bank of Rngiand, a very rich mas,- hut ooebsion for £BO,OOO, which he was to pay is theprico of an estate he had just bought—to facilitate the matter, he carried the sum with him to the bank and obtained for it a bahkfbiil. On his re turn home,.he was suddenly called dot on par ticular business; he threw the noteoarleaslyon the chimney, but came back'd few mi nutes afterwards to lock it it was not to be found. " *Wo one had entered ibe room-ihe opdld notj therefore, suspect any person. At last, af : ter much ineffectual search, he whs persuaded that it had fallen from the chimney into the fire. The director went to acquaint hiscdllOagnea with this misfortune; and as he : was known to bo a perfectly honest man, he whs readily" be lieved. It was only about four-and-twen’ty hours from the time be bad deposited his money ; they thought therefore, that it Would behStti to rC fuse bis request for a second bill. Ho received it upon giving an obligation to restore: the 'first bill if it should ever be found, or pay the mon ey himself if it should ever be presented by buy stranger. About thirty years afterwards (the director having been long dead, and his heirs in possession of his fortune,) an unknown person presented the bill at the bank and demanded payment. It was in vain that they mentioned to this individual the transaction by which..that bill was annulled; he would not listen;toit; he maintained that it had come to him from abroad and insisted upon immediate payment. The note was payable to bearer, and the thirtythou sand pounds were paid him. The heirs of the director refused restitution,’ and the bankwas obliged to sustain the loss. It was discovered afterwards that an architect, having purchased the directors bouse, had taken it down] in order to build another upon the same spot, had found the note in a crevice of the chimney, And made his discovery an engine for robbing the bank. Carelessness, equal to that here recorded, is not at all uncommon, and gives , the bank enormous profit, against which the loss of a mere thirty thousand pounds is but a trifle. But notes have been known to light pipes, to wrap up snuff, to be used as, curl-papers ; and British tors, pad with rum and money, have not unfrequent ly, in time of war, eaten them as sandwiches between bread and butter. In the forty years between the years 1792 and 1832 there were oat- , standing notes (presumed to have been lost or destroyed) amounting to one million three hun dred and thirty odd thousand pounds; every shilling of which was clear profit to the bank Household Words. ' Cask op Accidental HANaiNa.-rOn Wednes day, at about seven o’clock in the evening, a little child, three years of age, son of ‘ Patrick Riley, Norristown, was found suspended b/ the neck in the back yard of its father'sdwelling, in “ McCredy’s Row.” The Republican says that “ the house occupied by Mr; Riley has a cellar, kitchen and back yard, from which a door opens to. a small yard in the rear. Beside this door is a stone wall a foot or so high; hnd near ly over the wall, and at the upper cornet ofthe door, a spike had been driven, from which was suspended an old rope, which had beenpaed by a former occupant as a clothes-line. This rope had been loosened from its . opposite fastening on the fence, and the whole of it left hanging in loops from the nail, and falling'' withjn about three feet of the ground.
