other friend.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 7th says:
We met yesterday at the Miami Depot,
lady who has exhibited the most
indeiatigabie perseverance in the pursuit
of Information under embarrassing
difficulties. Three years ago she resid-
ed in California, which State, in fact (,
she claims now as her residence, and
there became acquainted with man
named Munson-a pleasing, cool. affable
gentleman. who so adroitly worked his
way into her confidence that she intro
luced him to young lady, a near and
dear friend, possessed Of some fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars in cash. The
result, as might have been anticipated
was the consummation Of the lady's
heartfelt wishes-the marriage of her
friend to the polished and affable gentle
man. at.l te- ss f
A few months rolled round, and
everything passed off smoothly enough.
The husband was affectionate and atten-
tive;..the lady all love and confidence.
Finally, the husband expressing wish
to enter into business and settle down
for life, the confiding wife drew from
her bankers almost the entire of her for
tune and placed it in his hands. A week
after the steamer sailed for the Atlantic
side, and the villain husband departed
with the gold, leaving his confiding
victim to the tender mercies of local
world that is far too busy to look after
individual wrongs in which they have
no personal or pecuniary interest.
The lady who had brought about the
match, felt and boldly faced her respon-
sibility in the premises, and on the next
home ward bound steamer, she took
passage for New York, determined to
follow the betrayer of her confidence, and
the love Of wife, to the bounds Of civ
ilization, and bring him to punishment.
Arrived in New York. she got trace of
his footsteps, followed him over various
routes, until she tracked him to village
in Pennsylvania, where she found him
with another sOte, to whom he had been
married before going to California! A
warrant was issued for his arrest for
bigamy, but having no proofs Of his sec-
ond marriage, after short examination,
he was discharged.
Nothing daunted by this unlocked for
termination of affairs, the lady i'm
mediately returned to California, procur-
ed the necessary affidavits substantiating
Munson's marriage there, together with
evidence of the fact of his having abscond.
ed with some SIS 900 ofhis second wife's
funds, and once more returned to the
Atlantic side in search of the betrayer Of
her friend. And that search she has
prosecuted now for two or three months
with the most determined and restless
perseverance; but thus far without sue
cess He had left the village where he
resided when arrested for bigamy, and
although, the lady had obtained some
subsequent traces Of his movements,
when we met her yesturday, she had
not succeeded in ascertaining his present
residence. although she is satisfied he is
somew here in the West. She had al
ready expended large amount OF her
own funds in the pursuit, and expressed
the determination not to give up the
chase until her sweet revenge" had been
grati6ed, and the villain brought to
Justice. May her labors prove success
ful, will he the wish Of every honest
heart. The lady pursuer left yesterday
for Cleveland, were she has friends re-
residing. If she may not be classed
amongst the Strong minded women"
she is certainly a very determined
