COMMUNAL ADVENTURE.-The Buffalo Repub-
lie relates that recently false hearted married
man in Detroit. attempted to elope from his lawful
spouse with another woman to Canada. The gull
ty couple crossed the river in one steamer, while
the injured, but spunky wife, pursued them in an
other; and just as the train was leaving Windsor
the latter sprung upon the and ran through
| the coaches until she found the runaway couple,
quietly seated side by side. She upbraided the
man for running away from his lawfully welded
WIFE, and insisted that he should leave the cars
and return with her. This the husband stoutly
refused to do, when the wife appealed to the con.
ductor, and produced the necessary vouchers of
her identity. The conductor with much good
sense, decided that a woman was entitled Ia her
husband, and Informed the man that he would he
under the necessity of delivering him over to the
custody OF his better half BY this time the pas
sengers had gathered around, and the scene be-
came exceedingly ludicrous. The man declared
that he would not leave his ducinea, and she ner
sisted IN retaining him. The tears and aties
OF the Wife were TOO much for the sympathetic
conductor he pulled the check string stopped the
train, eJected the husband from the car, and de.
ivered him to his wife, several passengers holding
ON to the other woman, who made the most des.
perate endeavors to follow. The man tried hard
to get on the cars after they were in motien but
was unable to do 50, in consequence of the tight
grasp of the wife on to his coat tails The last
that was seen Of the pair they were rolling down
the bank, closely locked in each others embrace
