PURSUIT OF A TRUANT HUSBAND
From the Ottawa 1lll Free Trader.

From the Ottawa Qll.) Free Trader
 For the last four years there has resided in this city, with occasional intervals, one Dr. Askenazi, Hungarian physician "a small man, of ill-favored yet strongly marked Jewish speaking English and several other European languages very brokenly, claim. ing to have been surgeon in the Hungarian patriot army in lS48, and to have come to this country with Kossuth, bat by his vcrnac. ular betraying that he was originally from Poland or Southern Russia. His mode of life was in the highest degree parsimonious-oc cupyng generally small, cheap room, which answered as we'll for his office as dormitory and kitchen, in which he prepared his ow1 meals. Among his lntimates, who were few he passed as man of great learning, and by those with whom he practised as a physician or surgeon, he was regarded as man O great professional skill.
 "Dr. Ashkenazi, Hungarian" was thus getting along smoothly and prosperously, un til some ten days ago, when his dream of re pose was very materially interrupted by the arrival of a lady in this city, who claimed to be his lawful, welded spouse-who made up on him in that character, certain weighty claims, and preferred against him certain weighty charges, the effect of which has been to place the little Doctor" in limbo from that day to ths The lady having proved the identity of her man, sought legal adviser, to whom she made substantially the following statement
 Some twenty years ago, then lass of fif teen summers-the favorite of her parents, who were in easy circumstances, living in the village of Kreena, (Krasnoy?) Russia, near the borders of Poland-a Jewess-she made the acquaintance of a young man-poor, but distinguished for his learning and piety. named Asbur Seltzar He had been educated for a rabbi, and had so greatly won the esteem and confidence of the chief rabbi of the place that he was frequently entrusted with the admiDis- tration of the (Jewish) law in his (the chief rabbps) absence. Her parents and all par ties assenting, she was married to the young rabbi
 On their marriage, her parents gave them a marriage portion of about $l,O00, on which they lived about a year at Kreena, when the young rabbi suddenly disappeared, and was gone some three years before she ascertained his whereabouts. Finally, she heard of him in Dantzic in Prussia, whither she followed him, found him, and returned with him to Sc raj, in Poland. Here they lived together an other year, during which 8 child was born to them. When the child was some three months old, they went on visit to her mother at Kreena remained there few weeks, then started back for Serai. Arriving at the bor-

PRISCILLA MULLINS SplNN1Hc-DD SHE USE SMALL WHEEL OR A LARGE ONE? '' Then as he opened the door, he beheld the form
 of the maiden
 Seated beside her wheel, and the carded wool like
 snow drift
 Piled at her knee, her white hands feeding the rav-
 enous spindle,
 While with her foot on the treadle she guided the
 wheel in its motion"
 So writes the author of Miles Standish's Courtship, in describing the appearance and occupation of Priscilla as John Alden entered her door to convey the message of Standish.
 Some friends of mine, whose memories run back to the time when spinning wheels were in daily use in every house in New England, de- clare that Priscilla couldn't have been doing any thing of the kind If she was spinning wool, she couldn't have used a wheel with a treadle if she was using a treadle, she couldn't have been spinning wool for wool was always spun with large wheel, turned by hand and it was only flax that was spun by a small wheel, which went with treadle.
 hate to mar so pretty picture as the po- ct gives us in the lines have quoted, bat if the experience of my venerable friends is worth anything, we must give her either the "trea- dle" or the "wool" Which shall it be? For my part prefer to retain the wool ;" and yet, even if we keep that, we must lose pret- ty feature in the picture, in supposing her to be standing, instead of sitting with " the card ed wool like snow-drft piled at her knee ;' and besides, we shall have to find new place for the wel-worn psalG:-book of Ainsworth," ;" which the poet locates as "open wide upon her lap."
 My ancient friends above quoted, do not pretend that their memories can cover the pc riod referred to by the poet It may be, there- fore, that he is true to the manners of Puritan days, if not to those of the more recent period to which their testimony relates. But if Mir. Drake in his History and Antiquities of Boston" is to be trusted, it would seem that the kind of wheel described by Mr. Longfel- low was not even known in New England in the days of Priscilla Mullins. On page 500 of that learned book in speaking of the arri- val in the year l7l7 of co ony of Scotch Irish, most of whom settled in New Hamp- shire, but some in Boston, the author says :- "These emigrants were chiefly manufacturers of linen, and they brought their utensils for that purpose with them. The foot, or linen wheel, since so familiar in the households ol New England, was introduced by this colony and the raising of flax and the manufacture ol linen cloth was looked upon as of great i'm portance to the country."
 Who is right Did Priscilla use a treadle or not ? pray you, MT. Editor to tell me. Boston Duly Adrertiser. ALDEN.

country, was truly exliarnting. The earth
was mantlel with the rst flush Of the yerpal
yeur: and We drew inspiration from the clear
skies, the waving forests. and the bright waters;
the music Of the groves, the verdure Of thu.
fields. and the perfume Of the flowers. For
once, Mt least, We must confess that our devo.
tions to Marrs, were performed ,cith some alae-
rity
The Bait 'alon was commanded by Mai. Gun.
ninghum, and reviewed by Col. Harper and
Staff. At an early hour. the line was formed
by the Adjuisnt, j. G. Wilson. and after the
performance Of various ev0lutions, was nd
dressed by the Colonel in neat and appropri.
ate speech. in which he gave notice Of lis in.
tention to resign. There was a good a,,en.
dance of Spectators on the occasion, and the
company dispersed at an early hour.
