Car or the Track

Vim II. Carr, the ignOramus Kentuekian Of
Eagle Grove, who advertised for a wife, got
one hundred and one offers, and finally accept
ed aud wed widow Briggs, of Columbus, has
quarrelei and run of the matrimonial track
already. The Journal says:
NJ Ga-r has discovered that in the COlum-
bYs widyE, / stead of an angel of light, he
4" c night TaGtar," who accuses him of various
oif.uscs against her peace and happine IS, his
daughters cannot live with her, the black in
mat Of his homestead aIe not at peace, and
the cntire plantation Is in 4 state Of discomfort
Grafton We fear we will have to admit that
advertising for a wife Is an open question:
great deal can be said on both sides.
Mrs. Carr nee Briggs, we understand, has
brought suit for a divorce, and d5mands set
tlement OF the half Of his property upon her
This trial will doubtless require some witnesses
from this CITY, who will be expected to testify 70
Mrs Cars previous character and history, and
probably some rich developments may be ex-
pected.
To add to the troubles of Carr, It is said that
Mrs. Pauline W. Carol, Boston widow has
brought suit against him for breach Of promise,
and the poor fellow is in a fair prospect ofhav-
ing his property, negroes included, eaten up by
law suits.

20 min. She was seen at daylight Of the 2lst,
flying the British flag. She ran on ahead Of
the Dolphin, and entered the bay without eIeit-
ing suspicion. As soon as the Dolphin came
in view of the bay, the captain of the SLAYER,
suppOsing himself pursued, hauled suddenly of

about going out to the brig. She was then
chased and captured. No papers were found on
