A Fight bstween Saints and Pike's Peakers. From the J aper (Ta ) Free Press, June 2. A company of returning Pike's Peak cr's passed through hero last Sunday, having under their protection a youg la dy, whom they had taken from a Mormon train, a few tuilcs west of Newton, a tort time previous. It appears tint on Sun-; day morning, as the Pike's Peak boys were crossing Skuuk Bottom, tbey passed a train of Mormons, who were busily en gaged men, women and children in en deavoring to extricate a number of their wagons that were stuck fast in tho mud. While storpinj? for amoment to witucs the exertious of the Saints, they accident- ally overheard a young girl, of about 19, cxclaix-, -I wish L was drowned in that slough !" Their interest was at once a - wakened, and they interrogated ler as to why eho made irucb a foolish wi,h. She repiiea tnai .sue was urcu ui me; uiai she had started from Iowa City for Salt rake. with her father, who is a Mormon Elder: that she had been compelled to walk all the way thus far, and that whenJ.,n i uear difftreut sections of this! she expressed a wish to have tho train re turn to tbe city they invariably stopped her mouth. She was informed by the Peakers that if she desired to return to Iowa City the should go back with them, to which she replied that she desired scry much to rctarn. The Mormon-, number ing some fifty men, gathered around, armed with guns, knives, pistols, &c. &c , and declared that she should not go back. The Peak boys, nothing daunted, arm ed themselves with guns and revolvers, and announced their dt?terminatiou to take the girl at ail hazards, and proceed ed to carry out tbeix intentions. For a time a Gjjht eccmed inevitable, but final- ly Moriuon courage gave way, aud th liir-a e.iffnnftnf1 in nlneirifr thf oirl safolrl wjj m . O O J under their own protection. She then in formed them that the Saints had a trunk and other baggage belonging to her, which they at once proceeded to obtain The followers of lirigbam boldly announ ced their intention to fiht before they would permit tbe Tings to be taken from their wagons. A show of guns and rcvolvors, howev er, cooled their ardor, and Mormon cou rage oozed out of their lingers ends, while the boys proceeded to transfer the baggage to their own warons- the Sait.ts looking i - . on and utteriitii terrible imprecatious ... . i i i l all they sought, the rescuers drove away with the young lady ia their po-session, leaving tho Moruions to console theiu fcclves ns best they could in their loss The Pike's Peakers who were engaged in the rescue, who numbered only about 28 men, were from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa City.

D. Kueker. Superintendent of the Cleveland and Toledo Ilailroad, The ; Cleveland Leader obtains the following ' particulars of au exciting race in which , the steeds were iron horses and the stakes j greater than have over been known on any track. Mr. Ilucker had the facts from John D. Campbell, Esq., Superin tendent of the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Ilailroad. One dav last week, as the eastward-bound iixpress tram reached Jjaporte, Inc., a passenger i j stepped off while the engine was being re- pL-mu .mu uu uuu uUu cd back and forth on the platform, and i? i. ii. ,:i iL. 1 continued to walk until tho whistle sound ed. The passengers got on board and the train passed off, but tbe gentleman still walked on. A few minutes after the train had gone, a station man saw tbe pedestrain, and going up to him, asked in a surprised tone "What the aro you doing here? The man started, opened bis eyes, and looked around bewildred. The fact was, uu uuu uucu liiugucu, uuu uiuppuu IU sleep while walking. Rousing himself, he asked "Why! Where am I?" "Where arc youl At Laporte." "Where's the train I came on?" "That left ten minutes ago." "Ten minutes aso and left me! I must no on that train It is a question Pin inn nnt- of life and death with mo. Can you get ) me to it? Have you got an engine here? Where is the Superintendent?" I The section-master had an office near 1 by, and the two went to find that official ; and to procure an engine. The traveler j stated his case he must go on could not dclay-and offered the officer S20 if hen?;.uld Put b'm D 5"? f tb "Jr'0, , caused the station-master to hasten to do . what he could. The fire was not out in . tbe engine that had drawn tho train to ' that point; the bargain was settled; a Iflraft. rnvnn on New York for the $250. and in ten minuter the traveler started 1 with an engine to overtake the flying Express After rushing on for thirty or 10TlJ llJn about the """"u lu' forty miles, some couuection gavo way i . .i ; mi.- aDOUS 1110 OIIBIUB. J. ue ciiuiuo n.oip ped the engineer found the dimoulty, and in a verv few miuutes had a wooden pin whittled out and fitted to supply tho deficiency. With this, on thoy flew. The train had of course many miles tho ' start of them, and despite the wooden pin tho engineer crowded on steam and tore through the country at a fearful rate. Tl, :.. mttnu nf tlx. fll.it ri niiii nnniml ic.m run in twenty seven minutes, but the en- ,.i..t ..a . .tlw, l.n..M nvurlakr, the train, and do it they must, and doit ilUblUUliU t UO bUHU mwj - - - they did, but not until more than one hun budred miles had been run, and they wero approaching Toledo. Having at length o vertakon and stopped the traiu and hurri ed ou board, and the traveler went eag erly to a berth in the aleeping-car, and took therefrom a oarpct-bog containing 275,000. His treasure was safe noire had molested it, and, dismissing his faith ful courier, he went on his way rejoicing at tho success ot his perilous ana exoit ing adventure. Sleeping Together. If a man wero to see a quarter of an inoh of worm put in his cup of coffee, he could not drink it, btoau"e he knows that the wholo cup would be impregnated. If a very small amount of some virulent poison be introduced iulo a glass of wa ter, tho drinking of it might not produce instant death, but tbat would not provo that it was not hurtful, only that there was not enough of it to cause a destruc tive result immediately. Ate sicken at tho thought of taking the broath of another at the moment it leaves tho mouth, but that breath mingles with tho air about the bed in which two per sona lay; and it ia rebreathed, but not the less offensive is it in reality, on accouut of tho dilution, excoptthatit is not taken in its concentrated form, bufi oacb breath makes it more concentrated. One sleep er corrupts tho atmbuphere of the room by his own breathing, but when two per sons aro breathing at the' same time,, twelve or fourteen times in each minute, and in each minute extracting all the nu triment from at least a gallon of air, the deterioration must be rapid indeed, espe cially in a small and close room. A bird, cannot live without a large supply of puro air. A canary bird, hung up iu a cur tained bedstead where two persons slept died before the morning. Many infants are fouud dead in bed, and it is attributed to bavins been over iaid by the parents; but the idea that a person could lay still for a moment on u baby, or anything el&e of the t.ome size, is ubsurd. Death was caused by wautof pure air. Besides, emanatious, aerial and more or less solid, are thrown out from every person thrown out by the process of nature, because no longer fit for life pur- poses, because tney are dead and corrupt; but if breathed into aoo'h r li it t d . . . 1 A bhoreut as ;f we took into , it is just as a our mouths the matter of a sore or otacr excretion. Tho most destructive typhoid and pu trid fevers are known to arise directly from a number of persons living and sleeping in the same small room. Those who caD afford it should there fore arrange to have each member of the family sleep in a sepcrate bed. If per sons must sleep in the same bed, thoy should be about tho same age, and jn good health. If the health be much un equal both will suffer, but the healthier one the most tho invalid suffering for want of pure air. So many cases are mentioned in stand ard medical works where healthy, robust infants and large children have dwindled away and died iu a few months from sleeping with grand-parents, or other old persons, that it is useless to cite special instances in proof. It would be a constitutional and gQod for marrie(I persons to sleep in ad- mon joining rooms, os a general babit. It would be a certain means of physical in- J vioration, and of advantages in other directions, which will readily occur to the reflective reader. Kings aud queens and the highest personages of courts sleep in scperatc apartmeuts. It is the bodily emauations, collecting and concentrating under the same cover, which arc the most destructive of health more destructive than the simple contamination of an at mospaerc breathed in common. A Boy in a Quandary. Littlo Eddy, on his way to school, frc i quently loitered by a small stream which ' he was obliged to pass to witness the gambols of his playmates while bathing; the water being of sufficient depth iu somG P,ace3 for tbat PurPose; Fearing some accident might befall him his moth er had told him never to venture near, ' and in strong terms not to go into tho water. One day, however, being over come by tmptation, and the urgent solic itations of boys older than himself, he yielded to their importunities and his own wishes, and for an hour entered into their aquatic sports right heartily. But -as ill luck would have it, while dressing himself, by some mismanagement, be put ; on his shirt wrong side out, entirely un noticed by him at the time; but the quick eye of his mother saw it and divined the reason at once. Before retiring for the night, it was customary for the little boy ' to kneel by hor side and repeat bis little prayer While on his knees, she took the opportunity to reprove him for disobey ing her commands: j Edmond, how is it that the buttons arc ' on tho inside of your shirt collar? ' I "I dou't know; isn't that the way, I mother?" j "No, my son; you havo ditobeyed me, ! I am sorry to see; you have teen in swim ' niing; else how could you have turned your shirt?"

"They have on exhibition at Agusta, Georgia, a two-headed girl. Her color is that of a dark mulatto, and sho appear to be two girls, so far as two heads, four j arms and four legs and feet would indt- j cate personal indentities; and yet she has but one body.
