Rather Romantic.

We heard of an incident on Monday last,
from the lips of Esq. Taylor, which partakes a
good deal of the romantic, but which is none
the less true, In the fall of '45, young man
named Eleazer Fitch, left here in company with
Job Kendall, on fat boat for New Orleans,
the boat being loaded with produce owned by
the two men, which they succeeded in dispo-
sing of without much difIiculty-the Whole re-
ceipts amounting to nearly $4,000, that being
divided between them. Time passed, and Mr..
Fitch did not come home, much to the surprise
of his despairng wife, whom he had lef: be-
hind with two children; nor could she gain any
intelligence of him after Mr.. Kendall parted
with him at New Orleans, to return.
It is true the wife, soon after the arrival OF
Mr.. Kendall, received paper which contain
ed an announcement Of the death of a Mr.. Fitch,
killed in gaming saloon, who hailed from Gin
cinnati but still hope whispered that it could
not be her husband, and yet he came not. A
few months over year flew over her head, and
then she gave up that her departed one must be
lost, and she had been addressed by another, and
frequently importuned tOmarry, her condition in
life being none the best, she yielded, and mar
ried, Well the long and short of the matter is,
that the bride lived very happily with her new
husband until last Sunday night, when who
should walk into the presence Of the doublewift
but Mr.. Fitch himself OF course a scene en-
sued, but no damage was done. He then gave
reason for his long absence. .AW
On the day he received his money for his pro.
duce in New Orleans, he went to one of the
gambling hellS and lost all, shipped on the fol
lowing day for California with no fixed pur

An UNEXPECTED TERMrNATroN TO AN E.
LoPEMENT. "A few days ago, young mar
ried man eloped from the neighborhood of
Manchester, with female relative, intend
ing to proceed to America in one Of The
packet ships. The passages were taken, and
every arrangement made. Unfortunately
for the scheme Of the fsithless husband, an
intimaton of the circumstances was sent TO
the wife who sold her goods and came over
to Liverpool Immediately. Having com
municated her story TO the captain OF
the vessel in which her husband was about
to SAIL she was allowed 10 goaboafd just at
the time Of sailing. The young woman who
had ran away with the hubs nd, was SEM on
shore, and when the husband retired to his
berth, he found in the place Of his paramour,
his lawful wife.

RULE OF WATERING MnK.-During
late trial in the city Of New York, where
by milkman brought suit against the
proprietor Of the Irving House, a. witness
made the following statement:
" Not half the quantity OF butter can be
obtained from the milk of cows kept at
the distillery stables as can be from pure
country milk, and that the butter is not
worth so much, TO judges, by six or sever
cents pound as butter from country
milk.
He also spoke of the rule Of water
ing milk, and afforded considerable a.
muse ment by tine details:
For himself he put in plenty OF water,
even in the distillery milk, for those
who want cheap milk, his rule being to-
put one quart Of water to three of milk; /;
and then his customers have better milk
than is usually got by Others around them.
To customers who are willing 10 pay
fare price, say five or six cents q quart
he will! supply pure country milk. Doe s
not put any -four or chalk, or any Thing
of that kind in bis milk-only water nd
little salt. ps
| The defence was that the milk was moi
good. We hope the milkmrn Of our city will
not be governed, however, by this rule,
especiallyas the jury gave verdict against
the milkman. - ~

2 The following story ofMr. WEBsrER is too
good to be lost. As the Italian proverb
says, if not true 1t ought to be. We clip It
from the Baltimore Patriot. "a
1t is related Of Mr.. Webster, that when he
was appointed to address Lafayettea at Boston,
he was upon tIIc eve of fishing excursion
which he did not give up. He took his line,
and stationed himself at some distance from
the restof the company, evidently fishing for
something else than fish, At last he was
aroused from his profound reverie by a jerk
ing Of the line, and commenced drawing il
to the shore with monster of a fish, while
at the same time repeating this sentence of
his future address to Lafayette! Welcome,
thrice welcome, to these shores, illustrious

PROBABLE Book ron GRuMBLING SHA-
vERs.-M. Boudet, French chemist, in
a communication to the Journal dc Phar-
nlacic, gives the following formula for a de-
pilatory: /" Take OF sulphurite Of sodium, or
hytlrosulphate Of soda, chrystalized, 3 parts;
quick lime in powder, 10 do starch, 10;
mix. This powder mi&ed with little
water, and applied over the skin, acts so
rapidly as depilatory, that if i be removed
in minute or after application by means
of ia wooden knife, the surface Of the skin
will be entirely deprived of hair BY this
process the removal Of the hair becomes so
simple, rapid, ami safe in operation, that it
will probably supersede the use Of The razor
in many cases. Ii may be applied 10 paris
the most delicate as well as Irregular, and to
surfaces either limited or extended, and il
is only after several days that the hair begins
to reappear." f,.s. s-,5,S
