EXTRAORDINARY 1 i.ormiKNT ANO Hounttitr. ?
-Tee city of Salisbury has been the scene of con-
siderable "excitement during the last few days, in
j consequence ol' a discovery that Mrs. White, wife
! of the landlord ol' the Whc-nt-iheaf commercial
Í inn. had suddenly decamped, taking with her
j cash belonging to her husband, amounting to no
i le* than £500. Mr. White for some years kept
j the Wheatsheaf Inn, and, having lately resolved
I upon quitting the business, a puiclniser for the
I tame came forward in the person of Mr. Pei mau.
i for £~¡W). On Saturday lust, the money was paid
J over, and Mr. and Mrs. White pr. cecded up stairs
; to place it in some safe depository. She un
I locked the secret eserntoire, into which Itu dropped ;
! tho cash. Mrs. White then apparently locked :
i the bureau, and gave hnr husband the keys, dc- !
I siring him to go and make merry down stairs with !
1 some of his old customers for the lust time as |
: landlord. He unsuspectingly complied, but '
? shortly afterwards thc wife left the house in her j
. walking dress to vintt a friend or two in the city, i
promising to return again shortly. As evening .
wore on,"and the did not return, the husband's
suspicions were aroused, .md it was ascertained !
that she had taken her departure for London, j
. Subsequent search di-closcd the fact that the bu- ¡
. veau was unlocked and the eserntoire quite empty. !
i tho wife having attracted the money, besides \
1 some pounds of lier own, and some articles of i
I wearing apparel. Some months ago, a dashing !
I c irporal in thc recruiting service was quartered ;
' at thc Wheatsheaf, and his extremely obliging and :
': affable conduct to thc land lady was thc subject of |
i general reinarle : he recently purchased his dis- ¡
i charge, and about a fortnight ago left Salisbury ¡
j for Loudon. He was in the city that day, whence !
I he took thc train for Loud iii. !

1 Siscri.Ati ANO SHOCKING A rp AI IS.-A most
I melancholy cn-e of mental aberration has been
; noted to n's as hnving recently developed itself*in
? a highly re pectable individual tit Kimi.on. Mr.
1 Mann, "thc cashier nt thc works of the llrhi-h
! Iron Company, Aerofoil-, gave notice to the
\ mnimg.ir, Mr." Wood, that ho should (¡nit thc
\ service, which notice wa-, accepted. On Friday
! morning, the unfortunate man made n journey t ?
! Wrexham, where he purchased two canisters,
\ each containing a pound of gunpowder, which he
i conveyed brime. The driver of an eugine of n
j railway train, the same evening, saw n man
' standing on thc. line, and no attention being pnid
j to his whistle, slackened spred, but still the mun
I did not move. .Tumping fr_ m the engine, ns it
wai in slow progress, he seized the man by the
collar, and threw him on one side, when the
butlers of thc engine were cleiso to him, and in
nu îther moment would have struck him ; on
which the person, who proved to be Mr. Munn,
the cashier, above-named, deeatnred. It appear-.
»hat he then mude his way to thc office, where
Mr. Wood was employed in writing letters, and
carrying a cnuikter ol'" thc gunpowder in cuber
hand, with a fuse in each, whichhehad calculated
would cxidode the powder, and destroy himself
and Mr. Wood as soon as lu: should have entered.
In endeavouring to ojien the door, ono fuse fell
tu the ground and the other canting a little on
one side, ignited the powder in thc canister in
which it wai placed. The explosion threw down
the partition, carried away tlie ear ¡iud part of
the scalp of the unfortunate man, shuttered his
hand severely, and pr. stinted him into thc r om.
Mr. Wood was, of course, much alarmed, and
shrieked out angrily, what was themntter? When
ho replied, that he' had come there to kill him,
¡md himself ns well, got np, coolly walked out ol*
the place, toik a c.ir.V.nd drovo to the Wrexham
Infirmary, to seek surgical advice, and there, we
believe, his hurts were attended t>. We uudcr
Ftand that he lind written a letter to his wife,
stating that, by thc time shu received it, he would
be no more, ns he'wu« going to kill himself and
Mr, Wood. Thc affair bas produced a grent
sensation in the ueighboaihcod.-A'cr//i M'aie»
