Such paintings as The C Deliveranec Of Leyden''

copied by Allslon from West, or such sta
luary as Steinhauser's Hero and Leander
are each in themselves a whole volume for
conte mplation and reflection.
A very wicked case came up before Al
derman Hibbard on last Saturday, proving
a conspiracy 10 ruin a family and some da-
ring feals of a pair of bold, bad but "slrong
minded' women. 1t was alleged that a
young daguerrean artist recently travelled
through Pennsylvania with his mother and
two sisters, of whom one was about twenty
years of age and quite beautiful, and The
other nine years. At a small village in JEFF
ferson county, they took up their quarters at
a snug hotel kept by a very worthy gentle
man, the husband of a fine looking woman,
and the father of an interesting daughter
The travellers now sci their wits 10 work to
get this nice home for Them selves. While
the landlord was absen. the young daguer-
reoiypist induced The wife 10 elope with him
10 New York, aud from thence they came 10
this city, having along with them the child
of the failhless wife.
The landlord, on his return home, was
greatly alarmed and uneasy at the absence
of his wife, the alleged conspirators having
told him that she had merely taken a ride
with The young man. In the meantime ev.
cry effort was made by the mother and
daughter TO induce the forsaken husband to
forget his wife, and cling TO the "girl left be-
hind herr but he refused their entreaties,
though, at the same time, he acknowledged
that he only wanted his child, and that the
mother should Fever be clasped TO his boz
som again. The mother and daughter, find
ing their schemes unprosperous, made tracks
for this city, and, on their arrival. sought out
the runavays, and stopped at The same hotel
with them. The disconsolate husband also
came on, and, after a diligent search, discov-
cred their Whereabouts. The wife, hearing
Of the arrival of her husband, removed, with
her daughter, 10 another hotel, and thus sa-
we'd herself from arrest al The time the others
were taken in charge. She was, however,
discovered on Saturday, and taken to the AL
derman's Office, and she was about TO be
committed 10 prison, when the husband re-
quested the officer 10 take her TO The hotel,
and see that she was kent in close cou6ne.
ment. This was done, and The husband slept
iu an adjoining room with the officer, who
used his best exerlions 10 obtain The wife's
forgiveness. He at last r%elented, and the
SAINT day returned to his home with her who
had caused him such anguish and disquie-
tude. The other parties were held TO bail
for their appearance whenever wanted, the
landlord of the house at which they are now
residing giving security for them, notwiih-
standing their Indebtedness 10 him is quite
a large amount. The whole case, according
to the allegations, exhibits one OF the cool
est efforts 10 obtain a good home that we
have ever Sc en- on record; and also shows
that this travelling family are as devoid of
feeling as they are of principle.
