State.
DESERVING Husband We have often heard
of the husband deserving a wife, but on last
Saturday case in reverse occurred in this city,
which was most heartless and cruel under the
circumstances. a man about forty-eight years
of age, named Lewis G.. Mcdowell, who is
blind, had come on as far as Baltimore in COM
pany with his wife, on their way to Port De-
post, Md, where McDowel'S relations re-
side. He had been living some time past in
Richland county, Ohio, and becoming blind
and in reduced circumstances, had started to
return to his friends, but his funds gave out
when he arrived here, and while in the Marsh
market obtaining something to eat, his wife
from some cause or other deserted him, and
left him alone, blind and incapable ofassisting
himself as he was In that situation he was
sent to the Police Office to be conveyed to the
Aims House, but on his protesting and begging
not to be sent there, but TO his friends in Port
Deposit, officer Moon obtained a free passage
for hun on the Rail Road, and raised a small
purse among some liberal disposed persons for
his use. No information whatever could be
obtained in regard to the heartless wife, nor
can any cause be assigned for her strange con-
duct.
