pendent OF the Boston Journal says that
the wife Of Huntington, the forger. has
been stripped Of her home and her all in
one hour. The sheriff has sold her house
over her head. Her jewels. valued at
S 5000, are with the Beldcns. What

this is true. that want. like an armed
man. has come into his family. And to
keep herself from absolute want she has
been compelled to part. with her clothes
and her ornaments and remnants OF bet

more beacon set up in The pathway of life

momcnt-one more wife and mother to
gather up her little children. on whose

given to US TO teach how Tho same talents

ADASDoNED AT SEA. Suffering of Sea
men.-The schooner Eclipse, owned in
Suffolk, Virginia, was fallen in with in
distress few days ago by the Samuel
Russell. the Captain OF which allowed his
mate ana Eve men to 90 on board the
| sob md fr, - In. -,
ing them three days provision. When
within 1875 miles Of the capes they were
again blown out TO sea. The Norfolk
News says:
The three days provisions had now
been exhausted. and the poorfelows. left
in a state OF starvation and despair, were
consulting about :" casting lois" as to
which one should be killed and eaten,
when a sail was seen in the distance, and
making signal they were soon supplied
with provisions by another schooner.
With renewed energy and hope. they
again headed for the capes of Virginia,
and on Tuesday last came TO anchor in
Hampton Roads.
The Samuel Russell had already reach.
ed the Roads. and recognized the school,
ner when she came in. We learn that l2
men from the strip boarded the schooner,
knocked down the shipmates who had
periled their Ives to save the Eclipse. put
them in irons. and carried them on board
the ship, and the schooner is claimed q
price by the captain Of the ship.
The third mate, however, escaped, and
came up to the city with lawyer, who
returned in tho afternoon. and in ali pro.
liability the schooner is now in custody Of
the deputy marshal. The schooner and
her cargo. consisting Of rice. cotton. &C..
are valued at $3.50 200.
