TuE1NJuRED HUSBAND GAME.

A strong case of this modern Infamous con
spirocy TO extort money, took place last week
IN Boston. A Baltimore merchant was en-
trapped by the arts OF the wife OF one "Proi'
Harris of Lowell, formerly known as editor
Of al obscure sheet in New Y ork. who gave
ont that he was coming "Down East" An
elopement was planned, and the Baltimorean
met Mary-that was the name-whO was not
unknown in Baltimore. at the Lowell Depot,
aud escorted her to the American House.
where they took a room. Meantime the IN
jnred husband took counsel and writ with
M al donnun Of 100000 put in as the sum
requisite to sooth his wounded honor.
Midnight was set apart for the scene and
the husband. intensiiying himself for the oc-
casion, girdpd himself with pistols and dirks,
aud accompanied his distinguished course and
a deputy-sherf, repaired with the clerk Of
the American House TO the room. Admls-
sion was obtained. The husband was in a
tempest-Baltmore proposed to settle
Mary hid her countenance and could not look
her injured lord in the face, and begged for
gvenpss for her "indscretion" husband mo-
deratpd his severity and dropped from $780,
900 down to so, to 80, %, 20, 10 and at last
$4,000. and agreed to take his wife back
The $4,000 was made over in q draft of $500
on Baltimore at sight aud three notes ol
