Mrs. 7. came to Albany Tuesday afternoon and
vpon applying to Mr.. Joyce for particulars of her
husbands death, to her great astonshment he knew
nothing of it, and that he had sent no despatch-
Both then repaired to the telegraph office, and
upon inquiry were furnished with a description of
the party who sent the message, which correspon-

truth then flashed upon the mind of Mrs. TAYLOR
that her husband had deserted her. and had started
the story of his being drowned for the purpose of
deceiving her. Their only child had died about
three weeks ago.
Mrs. I. is satisfied that the whole thing is a ruse
on the part of her husband, whose object is to
abandon her. If she is correct in her opinion, a
greater act of scOundresm has seldom been perpe-
trated.-AIbany Argus, Wednesday.
