ShaWmut Avenue, Boston.

The usually staid citizens of Boston
have kept up continued excitement
for many months in regard to the Shaw
nut Avenue difficulties. This Shaw
nut Avenue is miniature edition of
Fifth Avenue, in New York, and the
morals of the two streets appear to be
of about the same grade. AS many
of our readers will rccollect, Mr..
John Cove, respectable and wealthy
merchant of Boston, had two daugh-
tiers who recently married and. set up
housekeeping in Shawmut Avenue
The names of their husbands were Co.
burn and Dalton These girls seemed
to entertain the idea that their wealth
and position would allow them to in
dulge in all manner of.immoralities
with impunity. They were in the hab-
it of frequenting saloons, taking rides
about the suburbs of the city, attend
ing the theatre, &c, with such "nice
young men" (not their husbands) as
chance happened to throw in their way.
AS consequence, the jealousy of their
husbands became excited fogging
case, ending in the death of the vic
tim, was one Of the results, and later
a divorce case between Dalton and his
wife has for some time been on the
taps. Meanwhile the two husbands
have been lying in prison serving
out their sentence in the fogging case
for man-slaughter. The jury in the
divorce case, after being out all night
on the 9th inst, came into Court una
bic to agree. Ten were for granting
Dalton divorce and two were against
it. Dalton has the reputation of be-
ing likely man, but his misfortuncs
are grievous in the extreme.
