GT The New Jerusalem, or new church
organ of this city, scores with severity an
instance Of passional affinity of a mar ried
man for a young lady. The husband COM
municated TO the editor that he is now fifty
years of age, but although his wife has made
q good mother and wife, he has not loved her
other than as sister. His affiniti,,s are for
young lady twenty year, of age. We do
not know what the editor answered. to the
husband who consulted him as to his ne W
passional attraction, but in his paper he
says: "Such love may take someth hing. of
earth, but its chief source is hell; from llea ven
itgets nothing"
The gentleman, it is said, has social and
and professional reputation in this city, and =,
as people are curious, will, no doubt, &C ,ssip
q good deal about the new relation.
0, how his cheek should have burne d to
have confessed to such infidelity-eve in
thought-toward TIE wife of his BOSOM, and
the mother of his children! The only hone
Tor that man is to go to the wife and return
her the affection due to one he ackno Wedges
to be model of good behavior and pr opriety.

NB- VIM. Hoover was tried in the Police
Court last Saturday on charge Of vagrancy,
iound guilty and sentenced to thirty days
confinement in the City Prison. Hoover is q
well-educated man, and at one time possessed
a large amount of money, all of which was
squandered at the gambling table. He made
the following statement to the Court and jury:
Some years ago I came to this city with
large fortune, left me by my father-$s, ,OOO-
and put up at the Gibson House. / soon
made the acquaintance of number of very
hne-looking young gentlemen, and might
have been seen with them at the gambling
table, at all hours of the day and night,
betting as high as 500, at a time, on the turn
OF a card. My fortune was soon lost; was
penniless-my board bill due. Those who
professed to be my friends left me, one by
one. My money was gone, had no claims
to their sympathy. Through the advice of
several gentlemen, brought suit in the
superior Court for the recovery of my money,
but afterward compromised by taking $3.50.
This amount was soon spent, and was again
penniless. Having, in my school days,
taken lessons on the piano, commenced
teaching in house of bad repute. Twas in
troduced to some three or four others, where
l have also been teaching, and, in this way,
have endeavored to make q living" At the
conclusion of Hoover's remarks the jury re-
tired, and, after being out one hour, brought
in q verdict of guilty.

upon the ground that he was an officer of the

therefore did not consider tho excuse legal
one. Mr.. Hudson then stated that his mind
was made up, when Jndgo Lowe excused
him,
