Wednesday morning last, an sltorcation be-
tweon a married couple, named Hamilton, in
duced neighbor, Mrs. Green, 10 enter their
room. She found the wife in the act Of pack

Hamilton's case is hopeless. The unhappy
couple had been married but three or four
Wonths.
THE CosHocToN TREASURY RoBBERY.-There
seems, says tho Ohio State Journal, to be a
great and rather indecent haste in passing the
bill for the relief of the Treasurer Of Coshocton
County, who claims to have been robbed of
various sums, running as high as $22, 900.
How many robberies per annum will tho legis-
lature be willing to allow after passing this
bill2 1t. is quite likely they will have their
hands full. There are said to be some strange
circumstances connected with this robbery. If
the Democracy is not afraid that an investiga-
ton would destroy tho chances of the relief
bill passing, it would seem quito decent and
proper to have one. Certainly it is not exactly
regular to take any body's word, and allow for
n mysterious disappearance of $4,000, without
any investigation. A scientific robbery will
be very common way of squaring Treas
urer's accounts if this one passes as current.
The bill to relieve the Treasurer passed the
House yesterday wednesday,
PROF. VAUGHAN, OF CrNorNNATr.-This gem
tloman gave two lectures last week in the Uni
vorsity Chapel, Oxford, O.-one on Winds and
the othor on Oceanic Currents. A few citizens
and a considerable number of students had the
profit and pleasure of these lectures all to them
selves. Considering this gentleman's scientific
attainments-his knowledge of the topics which
he handlcs-his reputation as an original in
vostigator-a reputation not confined to Amer
ica-the exceedingly low figure for admission
tickets-considerin all these things, the writer
of this notice, "a correspondent of tho Oxford
Citizen,) deems it derOgatory to good morals
to give gratuitOusly synopsis of the dis
courses above named But prophet is not
without honor, except, &c.
| CoRREcTIoN.-The sudden death of Miss
Theodosia Smith, at musical rehearsal, oc-
CURED in Cleveland, and not in Boston, as re-

and highly respected in our sister city of Cleve-
land. '....
