Tragedy in IJeal Iife. From thcXorfolk Herald. On Tuesday last, Frederick White, a farmer of North Landing, Princess Anne countv. called at our oftice and requested us to write an adrcrtiscment for him, the particulars of which, as detailed by him, were so extraordinary, that it was not until we had been at some trouble to obtain'corroboralive evidence of his statement, that wc could venture to publish it. Hisslory was to this effect: A man named Simon Stone, of the same neighborhood, went to White's premises, in his absence, on the iih of February last, armed with a 'gun; concealed himself near the dwelling, and watching the opportunity, which was offered by White's wife in going out some little distance from the house, seized hcr7 and Willi threats of instant deatli if she rcs'stcd or gave any alarm, forced her away with him, with nothing but the clothes she had on, and no covering to her head but a handkerchief. On returning home,- White learnt the astounding fict of his wife's abduction by Stone, from his mother-in-law, and instantly went in pursuit of her and her ravislier. He traced them to Norfolk, where, to his great grief and disappointment, after some time spent in fruilless inquiries, he learnt that he had left in a packet for the Eastern Shore. Deject-

he returned home to his now desolate dwelling. On the 10th of February, however. his lost treasure was restored; his wife returned to his arms; but forlsrn and emaciated from distress of mind awl bodily sickness. She affirmed the fact of the threats of violence used bv Stone to make her iro along with him, and which had so alarmed her that she durst not resist oiy call aloud for help. Thus overcome by her fears, she remained passive, and submitted to his unchaste embraces, as the alternative, as she believed, of life or death, until she found an opportunity to make her cscapo from his brutal duress. The fond doating husband received her again to his bosom, almost forgetting the horrors of the past, in the bright anticipations of future happiness,, which beamed upon his heart when loT on the outh of March, only six weeks after, the modern-Tarquin again came suddenly upon Mrs. White, as she was cutting a pine broom from a thicket near her dwelling, and,- armcvt as before, with a gun, again forced her from her family and'earried her off! Again the distracted husband pursued to Norfolk, and fortunately arrived just in time to prevent a second trip to tiic Eastern Shore, which he did by rescuing his wife, though Stone disappeared before a warrant could be taken out for his arrest; somewhat soothed, however, by the recovery of his wifer the dearest jewel of his soul, he gave up the pursuit of the cruel disturber of his peace. Will the reader believe it? "Tis almost incredible, but nevertheless true a third time yes, a third time did the persevering spoiler of the peace of an inoffensive family return to the charge! On Tuesday week, he entered the dwelling of White, who was absent, and with violent threats and menaces forced away with him the wretched victim of his brutality, in spite of the remonstrances of her aged mother, and cries of her infant child. Driven almost to madness by thi3 monstrous, this reiterated outrage, the deeply injured husband once more pursued the absconded pair, but unable to gain any tidings of them, he resolved to make his case known to the public by an advertisement, which was accordingly done in our last Friday's paper, Returning home, where he arrived on Thursday afternoon, he was told by his mother-in-law that his wife had been bro't homo in his absence by Stone, but that the monster had permitted her 1o stay only until she took some refreshment.. It was in vain that she implored him to let her remain with her family; with a demoniac laugh he bade her come along with him, instantly or he would shoot her on the spot. The j wretched woman, however, found an op- j portunily to let her mother know that her husband might find her tliat night at a hog pen, in which she and Stone had slept Ib.e night before, (the situation of which she described;) or if not there, they would be at one Johnson Henley's, a few miles off Accordingly White repaired to the hog pen, but not finding them there, proceeded to Henley's, where he learnt that they were expected to sup a:xl lodge that night,, but that they had not then arrived. White then called on a constable, (having previously provided hhnself with a warrant,) and told him where Stone might be taken, directing him to be at Henley's very early in the morning, before Stone should be stirring. He then returned to reconnoitre Ilcnieys house, and saw through a window, his wife and Stone sealed at the supper table. He continued to watch them until he saw them both leave the table and go upstairs together, when he returned lor the constable. In the morning, before sun rise, White, (who had with him a musket, loaded with a bah and buck shot.) the constable, and three or four other persons assembled in Henley's yard. Stone was immediately apprised of their arrival, by Henley, and seizing his gun he rushed down stairs and out at the back door. The alarm was instantly given to those in front of the house, that Stone was miking off, when White ran round to the back of the house, to head him. Sione, though some distance oil", on seeing White, wheeled and levclcd his gun at him it was an awful moment for White! lie saw tlic man who had poisoned his happiness and robbed him of his peace, in the very act of consummating the injuries lie had inflicted, by taking his life; yet, nothing daunted, he pushed forward the '-click" of his adversary's gun was heard but White's better genius prevailed the gun missed fire. Without, waiting for a i?coud aim, S-.oiicj pursued Lis-

way a few steps farther, when, in turning to observe White, he struck his foot against

a fence rail and fell over it. White was then within thirty yards- of him, and pointing his gun at Stone, fired as he rose, and Stone received nearly the whole charge in his hip; the ball and some of the shot, from the position he was in, passed through the kidneys. Thou'di mortally wounded, he did not fill, but almost in defiance of nature preserve d his position, and again leveled the fatal lube at his antagonist and again it missed fire! He then fell; but summoning all his strength, he raised his elbow, and once more essayed his piece, but still it deceived him; he then sank prone and sense less upon the ground, and expired in a lew hours after clinging to his gun the while with a death grasp. White was then taken into custody until an examining court can be convened on his case, when, it is presumed, he will be admitted to bail. Stone was only 3 years of age, rather tnider the middle size, with a physiognomy that might have put any cautious man on his guard, and a character of the most profligate stamp. He had married at the age of 21, a dumb woman, who was much his senior, in consideration of a small plantation, which she possessed; and having sold it, he no longer regarded his matrimonialobligations. Ho had been a frequent visiter at White's, and had taken liberties wiih his wife which were not considered within the pale of propriety, and which had induced White to forbid him his house. Mrs.-White is J52 years of age, of a pale and sickly cast of countenance, and possessing none of those facinating qualities which might be judged sufficient to ensnare one of the other sex to his ruin. White bears the character of an inoffensive man, passionately attached to his wife, as has been shown, though somewhat stinted both in his corporal and- intellectual dimensions. THE HINDOO AND THE MONKEY. The following monkey story is marvellous. The natives U lievc that it actually occurred. I am disposed, however, to think all these stories were originally fables, to impress a moral upon the ignorant. 'Near a small town in the province of Oudc, tliere is a jungle, of some extent, inhabited by monkevs. A certain man, of the Hindoo class, residing in the town, resolved" upon enjoying himself one day, wiih a bottle of arrack he had procured by stealth, and since it is well known that spirits or fermented liquors are prohibited articles in the territories governed by Mussulman rulersTthe man betook himself, W'iihhis treat, to the neighboring jungle, where, in private, he might drink the spirits he loved,, and escape the vigilance of the police. Arriving at a convenient spot, the Hindoo seated himself under a tree, prepared his hookha, drew from his wrapper the bottle of spirits, and a small cup he had provided; and if ever he knew what happiness was in his life, tins moment was surely his happiest. He drank a cup of his liquor, smoked his hookha with increased relish, and thought of nothing but his present enjoyment. Presently lie heard the sound of rustling in the trees, and in a few minutes aflcr, a fine sturdy monkey, of the Lungoor tribe, placed himself very tear to him and liis bottle. The Hindoo was of a lively temper, and withal kindly disposed towards the living, though not of his own species. Having a cake of dry breid in his waistband, he broke off a piece and threw it to his visitor; the monkey took the bread and suitled at the cup. 'Perhaps you may like to taste as well as to smell,' thought the Hindoo, a Iwe poured out the liquor into the cup, and presented it to his guest. The monkey raised thu ci ip with both hinds 1o his mouth, sipped of its contents, winked his eyes, appeared well satisfied with the flavor, and to the surprise of tlvo Hindoo, finished the cup, which was no sooner done, than away he sprang up the tree again. 'Had I knew you would runaway so soon, my guest, I should have spared my arrack,' thought the Hindoo, But the monkey quickly returned to his old position, threw down a gold mohur to his entertainer, and sat grinning with apjxarcnt satisfaction. The Hindoo, astonished at the sight of gold, thought to repay his benefactor by another cup of spirits, which he placed before the monkey, who drank it off, again mounted the tree, and shortly returned with a second gold mohur. Delighted with the profit his arraek produced, the Hindoo drank sparingly himself, fyr each time the monkey took a cup, a gold mohur was produced, until the man counted eight of those coins in his palm. By thistime, however, the monkey was completely overcome by the strength of his potations, 1 and lay, apparently senseless, before the Hindoo, wiio fancied now was his turn to mount the tree, w here he found, on diligent search, in a hollow place, a small bag of gold mohurs, with which he walked oil", leaving the monkey prostrate on the earth. The Hindoo determined on going some distance from his home, in a different direction, fearing his secret treasure might be the means of drawing him into difficulties amongst the people of his own town, who had probably been robbed by the monkey at sonic previous period. Meanwhile, the monkey is supposed to have recovered from- hisstupor.. and the next, morning, on discovering his loss, he set up a horrid yell, which brought j together all Ins Icllow-m-liabitanls ot the jungle, and some neighboring villagers saw an immense number of monkeys, of all sorts and sizes, collected together in a body. The story runs, that this army of monkeys was headed by the one who had recovered from his drunken fit, and that they marched away from the jungle in pursuit of the robber. Their first march was to the adjacent village,- where every house was visited in turn by the monkeys, without success; no one ever venturing to obstruct or unvc awjv the intruders, fearing their re

sentment; after which, they sallied out of; the village to the main road, minutely look-!

Simpdar Occurrence. A person who had made a considerable fortune in Philadelphia as a butcher went on board one of the last ships' from Amsterdam, which had a number of German redemptioners, for the purpose of pun-hasing ono to assist him in his business, After examining the physiognomy of several of the passengers, without being able to please himself, his attention was arrested by the tranquil and composed countenance of a man very much advanced in years, but with much appearance of streinUh and activity. No less pleased with the tenor of the conversation of the German, than with his exterior; lie described the purpose for which he wanted a sercompanion mm, j nc p ashore to complete the business attended by the ciptain, and upon the names of the persons bcin? mentioned, to insert them in the writings, they were the same with those of tho purchaser's father and mother; and upon further inquiries, he ascertained them to be' his father and mother; the latter declared that if he were their son, he had a remarkable mole upon his left arm, which proved to be the case. It is added that nothing could surpass the joy of all parties. Tho providence of God had snatched the venerable pair from poverty and servitude and conducted them to plenty and independence, under the protection of an aHectionate son. He, it seems, had ran away from his parents when quite a boy, and from the continued wars in J'uroie, neither had heard of the other since. From the Jh ad ford Keith r AN EDITOR'S LEVEE.
