A CLERICAL SEDUcER.-A startling and
mysterious affair transpired at the Re-
corJers office in Oswego, New York,
few days since. Itappears that an Epls-
copalian clergyman, residing in Canada
West, had insinuated himself into the
affections of married lady belonging TO
his church, and in the absence of her hus-
band, they eloped across the river to Og-
densburgh. A few days after, the wo-
man came to Oswego, where she was
found by her injured husband. and forth
with arraigned before the Recorder TO an
swer for her conduct. Finding her not
in a very penitential mood, and discov-
ering among her effects some very objec-
tiona BILE correspondence with the Rev.
seducer. the exasperated husband return
the unfaithful wife had taken with her.
a short time after, the clergyman arri-
we'd, and, with the woman, left on the
frst boat for the west. The parties are
all represented as belonging TO the higher
ranks Of life, we'll educated, and Of very
gen;eel appearance. Gin. Nonp.
WOMEN IN THE FIELD.-Mr. Greeley,
in one of his letters from Savoy, thus
speaks of the condition of women in tina i;
country: 81 think saw quite as many
women as men at work in the fields
throughout Savoy. A girl Of fourteen,
driving yoke of oxen attached to cart,
walking barefoot beside the team and
plying the goadstick, while boy of her
own age lay at length in the cart, is one
Of my liveliest recollections of Savoyard
ways. Nut brown, unbonnetted women
hoeing corn with an implement betwe n
an adze and pick-axe, (and not bad
nipple ment, either. for so rugged and I'M
ploughed soil.) women driving hogs.

tered at every town. So much hard
rough work and exposure is fatal to every
trace Of beauty, and do not RENE I'm Der
to have seen a woman in Savoy even
moderately good looking. while many
were absolutely revolving. That this is
not natures fault is proved by the gen
eral aspect Of the children, who, swartby,
have often good forms and features.
Marriage i never knew marriage
expressly for money that did not prove
unhappy. Yet managing mothers and
heartless daughters are continually play
the same uniucky game. | believe that
men more frequently marry for love than
women. because women think they will
not have a better chance, and dread be-
ing de pendent. Such marriages no doubt.
sJme times prove comfortable, but great
er mum Der would have been far happier
single. If may judge by my observa-
tion ofsuch matters. marrying for no me
makes that home a very tiresome one.
