Aef-9NoE VT A | OtNN VI IF l. fRUM I kEE LOE k AT BERL1N-A case occurred among parties re- siding ill Detroit, a few days since, the partic- ulars of which are thus briefly given by 1ze Free Press:
 |" \ couple of weeks since, married man, who occupies respectable and intelligent posi- tion in the community, applied to Justice Pur- dy for assistance and advice in. finding some trace of his wife, a young and lovely woman, who had disappeared a day or two before, with out warning or obvious reason. The husband loved his wife devotedy and could not account for her abrupt manner of leaving him, as no fa- mily differences had ever existed to originate domestic troubles or cause her to wish to leave @ happy home Every assistance was render ed him in finding his wife, but the efforts of off, cers who secured the city were unayailing, ard he was informed that she was not in the city, or was so safely hidden that search was ineffectu- al, He Was further advised to keep quiet, and wait for chance to reveal her dwelling place. He followed this advice, and, as the event pro- vcd, successfully; for ill few days after he a. gain appeared in Justice Purdy's office, and
 informed him that he had learned tie wherea- bouts of his wife through the medium of rela- tion of her family. With sorrow he disclosed her abiding place, which was no other than a notorious resort of Free Lovers called Berlin Hill, in the northern part of Ohio This place is inhabited by colony of persons who live in the enjoyment of premiscuous intercourse among the sexes, giving free license to sensuality and delusion, and claiming to cure all bodily and spiritual ills by what they call love cure.'- What the process of treatment is Heaven only knows. The wronged husband desiring to re- claim his young wife, was advised by Justice Purdyto go after her at once, which he did with the determination of tearing her from the vile associations by which she was surrounded, even if compelled in doing so to shed the blood of her scducers.
 He succeeded in finding her at the institrl- tion in question, and immediately brought her home, without any demur on her part, she sta undoubtedly with truth-that she was disgusted with the scenes enacted in that abode of wiekedness. Her tale, as it represents things there, is an extraordinary one. She says that she was induced to go there by female reIa- tive, who is believer in the doctrine, and who, after long effort, succeeded in instiIling into her mind the poison winch proved her ruin.- Together they absconded and went to Berlin Hll When there, she fouad the marvellous love cure but another name for all that is de grading and loathsOme to a yirtuous and high minded woman. Low-bred familiarities with ] vulgar, fanafical men companionship with women who deemed themselves elevated above humanity in becoming victims of their own and their companion's lusts, and a close familiarity with brutisb, criminal enjoyment which was the highest sphere aimed at ill this delectable community, were what she was obliged to sub. init to- This was more than womanheod could endure, and in her secret trouble, she applied to a relative, not daring to dhelose her situation to her injured and much loved husband Through. this relative the husband found her and, notwithstanding her moral and physieal contamination, he took her to his heart, a shame-stricken but wiser wife and mother. We are, of course, permitted to give no names, and should not do so had we the liberty, as the comfort and hapiness of a family depend upon the publicity or silence maintained in so gross an affairv
