pesrs from the statements Of the geatemen In pur-
suit ,i the fus,ves ths' the has been aourshisG
about Port Deposit for number Of years, acquiring
cousi1 ersbIe property supposed and the repa
tssiop OF rather dubious character. For fer weeks
before leaving it il chsrgtd thai he vas 10 the conf
depce OF several mep, aud borrowed funds to largo

three ard six months he a. the sauna
time, a. now spPtar, never meant -
pay the money; and having wife TO whom he WA
not dsvo,e6ly attached concluded to abandon her
and hi ere dtors at the same time. Not Wishing to
leave tie country alone he inslnusfed himself into
the coed eraees Of Mrs Beaver, who said to be an
accomplished ard remarkably fine looking woman
She con.epted to abandon her family and try her
fortunes with the adven.uter, who had filed her
brsns with bright prospects for the future but which
il is doubtful If che realizes. Poor Desvcr DO
cane nearly frantic at the absence OF his unfAthfu
and bsartless wife, whom he traced to Philsdea-
tbis in company with the destroyer Of his domestic
bsppirtss and tere became satisfied that the tso
| had taken ,he cars for New.York. He returned
bone, to make some provision for his young chill
6ren, determined. however, to pursue the guilty
| couple and learn the worst. He was dmost oserpow-
cred with sorow. Mr.. Tome and Desver oonauded
to come to New-York together, one to secure his
money and the other TO find bis wife; but before
starting perused litter received by the vie, rom
her husband, dated in New-York, conveying the
soothing ipteige nee that he hsd launched his bark
on a stormy sea, and kew not his destination. but
che would probably never see him more, as he was
about cmbarking for distant country therefore u
wa, useless for Der or her friends TO pursue him.
Thinking this might be mere pretext to hide mis-
whe,eabouts. Mesfrs. Tome and Beaver hasten cd IA
this City the latter locking the very picture OF nus
ery. He cared not, be sid, about living win biz
wife sgair but be wanted to know where she wa
and be able 10 get his fingers upon the msn whom nc
prouised to treat in snmua'y manner thai n
would never forget hin, even II BIO escaped with hi
| life, which he thought would DO somewhat unoer
tain. Some persOn proposed to Beaver to 70
turn home and take the deserted wife, on the
prir cirIe "tbs' fair exchange Ia no robbery, bu
be OIL sideied the game would be losing one to him
and The ecre would not entertain the ides for mo
ment His runaway wife, as bad a. che was he con

ring the chances to find tho man and reo0vos
bic money TO be decidedly bad to go home by the
first tr sin, but Beaver being determined, and
having greater Interest at stake, Is securing the
