Conjugal Afeetiom.--A singular and ex.
traordinary instance of conugal affection
occurred in this place few days since. A
miserable, piliful looking object, in the shape
OF woman, bare-headed, was observed
standing in the middle Of the street, in the
mud shrieking and crying, with her eyes
fixed intenlly upon the company OF recruit
ing soldiers who were marching up Chapel
street. As they approached, she placed
herself in situation for observation, and
with watchful look marked each soldier as
he passed. until at last the object OF her
search appeared in view; when she sprang
like an enraged woman and caught him
from the ranks, and. with her arms clasped
around his neck, she could only utter in her
agony, my johnny My johnny IN The
hardened deserter OF the domestic hearth
was little affected with her cries. and rudely
attempted to iberate himself from her, but
IN vain she chung to him as her only hope.
When he shook her from his neck she
caught him by the leg, while living upon
the sidewalk in the wet and dirt, and with
srleks, like Indian yells, she still chung to
her Johnny. She followed him with cries
of despair 10 his quarters, when the difficult
~ was disclosed; and the humane captain Of
the recruit ordered him to be discharged TO
take care of his wife. He left the quarters,
cursing his fate and his wife, who had thus
suddenly terminated the glory Of his militia
ry fame while his curses were deafened
with her cries Of joy and clipping of hands.
