We have Just heard of a distressing case,
occasioncd by the gold mania. A man by
the name of Stebbins, started for California,
leaving his wife with four small children.-
Shortly after his departure his wife gave
birth TO another child; thus increasing her
care and necessities. A few days ago she
learned that her husband was dead-and she
is now left unprotected, destitute, widow,
with five small and helpless children
Thus has the spirit of adventure robbed
wife of her husband, and children of their
father. Those who have the means of
subsistence, and ties such as these to bind
them TO their affairs aud hearth-stones, should
never be led away by delusive reports of for
tunes made in day, lest their homes he
made desolate, and their household idols be
shattered and broken forever.-Cin. Nonpa-
