ConjugaI InfideIfty--CrueI RascaIity.
A man, named Enos Hobbs, of Belville, Can
ada, about two years ago, forsook his wife ano
three children, and came to live in Syracuse
with another woman. For the past year he has
been writing to his wife from time to time pen
tent letters, filled with assurances of affection
for her, and earnest entreaties to her, to come
with their children and again live with him in
peace. After the receipt of several such let
tiers, she came to this city to see for herself il
his circumstances and conduct were such that
she could return to him. Hobbs received hel
with great kindness, showed her house that he
was building for his family; and reiterated his
persuasions that she would again become his
companion.
She yielded, went Immediately back to Cana.
da, and soon returned with two Of their children
the one, William Henry-about years old
the other, John James, years old.
Mrs. HOBBS found her husband in his new
house, but with him was the wretched woman,
Alice Simmons, for whose sake he had violated
his marriage VOWS, and abandoned his family
He promised, however, that he would send Alice
away forever, as soon as he could raise money
sufficient to pay her expenses. In this state OF
distressing suspense Mrs. Hobbs was kept url-
til the morning of the 10th of July, when Alice
Simmons left the house, avowedly ror Canada.
A few hours after her departure, Hobbs came
TO his wife, and persuaded her to dress up the lit
tie boys, that he might take them to see show Of
animals then in the city. To CRAFTY her hus-
band and children, she complied, and since then
has seen neither of them.
There is reason to believe that Hobbs took his
boys, and in company with Alice Simmons, start
ed for Wisconsin or Illinois. They were heard
of together, and followed as far as Buffalo.
To make her condition here more intolerable,
and to aggravate his own wickedness, it was
found that Hobbs had sold the house in which he
left his wife, and had taken the money off with
him.
The agony of Mrs. Hobbs when she learnt
that she had been so betrayed, and robbed of her
children, cannot be described. Her sufferings
still are terribly severe-greater than can be en-
dured, unless some hope of the recovery of her
children shall soon be awakened in her desola.
