ELOPEMENT AN D HOED ERY. —A very digressing
came came before the borough magietrates at Bolton, on
Saturday. A man named Hubert Crawford, well dressed,
and wearing a moustache, was charged with having
stolen property to the value of 1001., uoder most
unusual circumstances. The case was not fully
entered into, but from what traimpired in court it
appeared that the prosecutor, William Lewis Gna-
rlier, is a ship captain. and has been away in the
Indian and Chinese seas he nearly half a dozen years.
On returning he and hi: wife resided together at
Southport. About two months ago the prosecutor went
to Liverpool to pawl an e:.amination, leaving his wife in
charge of the house. On bi• retooling to Southport he
discovered that his faithlos. spouse was son eat, and with
her had also fled the most va:uable and portable portion of
the goods out of the house. From inquiries subsequently
instituted, it transpired that the missing wife and the
prisoner were living to..,ether 41 man and wife in
a house La Bark-street. Pekoe. The prosecutor iden-
tified a number of articles moluced in court as his pro-
'Jelly, including a sealskin coat, bought at Shanghai;
a brass pipe, the gift of r. chief officer in Japan ; two
Japan picture, bought et l'okuhenie ; and two oil joint-
ings (portraits of his wife and sun), painted in China
from photographs taken is, EaglueL The prosecutor said
that all these articles 11,1 been stolen within the last
two months ; sod evidence was given to show that
Mrs. Gutzuier had got a Dolton auctioneer to sell
the Japanese pictures. that the prisoner had beets
wearing the sealskin coot, and that the other
articles were found at the house where Mrs.
Gutruier and the ',Home., resided together. On
this evidence Mr. Higgin amine.l that the bench w mld
remand the prisoner fur a week. in order to give him time
to complete the case for the prosecution • and he was me-
'minded accordingly, but a. iiiiitti.l to bail. Mrs. (hairnet
was in court during the inquiry. and left apparently not
very deeply concerned about her position ; on the contrary
the captain seemed to feel v... ry acutely the peculiarly &s-
-treaming nature of his situation. It is said that as between
himself and his unfaithful wife the matter will come before
another court.—Lievreed Mercury.
FALL OF A FLUOIt.—A sad occurrence has
just happened at Monte Rocca Dons, in Sardinia.
The Diaper, Pietro Mazola. who was highly esteemed,
died, and the people wishing to testify their respect
hastened to visit the mortuary chamber. About a
hundred persons were assembled in the room when
suddenly the flooring gave way, and the whole of
them a. well as the corpse were precipitated to the lower
story. The neighbours hastened to their assistance, and
after mule hours' labour they were extricated, but one
woman was found dead awl several other persons more
or leas injured.
THE GAME OF le,vE-Nt AK I Ntt.—CrOqUet is
pretty game out of doors. and chess is delightful in a
drawing -room. Battlesloor and shuttlecock mid hunt-the-
slipper have also their attractions. Proverbs are good, and
cross question with crooked answers may be made very
amusing. But none of these games are equal to the game
of love-making, providing that the players can be quite
sure that there shall be no heart in the matter. Any
touch of heart not only destroys the pleasure of the game,
but makes the player awkward and incapable, and robs him
of his skill. And thus it is that there are many people
who cannot play the game at all. A deficiency of some
needed internal physical strength prevents the owners of the
heart from keeping a peeper control over its valves, and thus
emotion sets in, and the pulses are accelerated, and feeling
supervenes. For such a one to attempt a game of love-
making, is as though your friend with the gout should
insist on playing cermet. A sense of the radiculon, if
nothing else, should in either case deter the afflicted one
from the attempt. There was no such absurdity with our
friend Mrs. Dobbs Broughton and Conway Dalrymple.
Their valves and pulses were all right. They could play
the game without the slightest danger of any inoonvcnient
result—of any inconvenient result, that is, as regarded
their own feelings. Blind people cannot see, and eau hid
people cannot understand—and it might he that Mr. Dobbs
Broughton, being both blind and stupid in such matters,
might perceive something of the playing of the game and
not know that it was only a game of skill.--.. Th. Last
