borough correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican says:
An eiopement of the most extraordinary
character took place on or about the 7th inst
I at the Sulphur Springs landing. From all
that can CLEAN from the flying reports in
circulation, the facts are a5o4 these A ;iend
in the shape ofa Doctor, ~ the name Of
Cheataam, came to the Sulphur Springs to
hunt a location as practising physician. Be-
/ Eg short Of means and stranger, he was taken
under the fostering care of Mr.. Bond, mer-
chant of that place, who gave him the hospi-
! ta!ities Of his house, having the utmost conf
denGe in the Doctor, and still more n his be-
! loved wife, and considering her not only free
/ from crime, but above suspicion. What must
1 have been his feelings, TO fed the wife Of his
\ bosom had eIoped with the base decpiver, who
wound her like a serpent in his fatal coil. She
will regret the day she was induced 10 leave
her once happy home, and desert fond and
/ loving husband

We're cleansed, and things were put in order
for the day. Sledge parties were then appor-
toned, for the SAKE Of exercise, and short trips
were made in different directions, for two or
three miles. BY the time the parties had ali
returned to che ship il was nearly Boon. At
( four beIls-2 O'Clock dinner was served
After this there was nothing to do, except TO

meal presently followed and at 9 TO 20 O'Clock
at night the ship and all in il were silent the
lights, except those above deck, were extin-
guished, and the watchts were set. This, with
very slight variations, was the regular routine
