tender young chicken, and occasionally few light boiled
eggs-daines which would not have been allowed by
severe discplinarian Captain Barclay. However,
when he took his ale the road he omitted his sherry
dinner. His usual hour OF rising in the morning was
about five O'Clock, when after washing and spongng in
cold water, with good hand rubbing, he dressed and
practised with the dumbbe and weight machine for
about half an hour and then started his morning walk
Of four or five miles before breakfast which took place

walk of nine ten miles, and a Of half a

TERRIBLE DOMESTIC ALIENATroN.-

TERRIBLE Domestic ALIENATIoA.---
There is family residing near this city
which presents an extraordinary case Of
domestic alienation. The husband and
wife, though living in the same house,
have not spoken to each other for twenty
years. The difficulty grew out Of an al
legged act ofinfdslity on the part Of the
husband. A separation was not desired
by either, but coldness Immediately grew
up between them, and this long silence
has been the result. A favorite daughter
has been the medium Of communication
between them. The husband readily
supplies all the wants Of the wife, and the
wife, privately provides the requisite com
forts for the husband; they meet daily,
but ne yer speak /! This aelienaliou has
now existed SO long. that the twenty
years silence will probably never be bro
ken. They are in excellent circum'tan-
ces.-- Gin. Times. b tfa a7aHdae
