A Mysteriors Disappearance Accounted for
Rich Developments ansong the British .45o-
litioists.
The Detroit Free Press relates the particu-
lars of most disgraeeful case of amalgama-
ton, elopement and exposure that we have
heard OF for many day. Itoccured opposite
that city. on the Canada side. The wife of
MI. Andrew, a wealthy farmer being the eloper
and the disgraced /; a black negro being the
other party. The parties all lived within
four miles of Chatham. The negro having
been employed as farm hand by Mr.. Andrew
a furious Abolitionist for two years past, and
his wife highly esteemed for her intelligence
and amiability. Her disappearance was accord
ingly the more strange, and no effort was
spared to discover her retreat, it being gener-
ally supposed that she had gone away and Sc
creted herself, in fit of insanity, caused by
the vagaries Of an interesting situation in
which she was known to be.
Detroit detectives were employed, and quick
search instituted resulting in finding the dis
graced woman in Chatham, an inmate of a
negro house of infamy, and the mother of a
sooty baby, which she held in herar1ns Be-
ing taken into custody, she confessed the truth
without reserve, stating that the cause of
fight was fear of detection ii an intimacy
which had for long time existed between
herself and a negro man named Jones, employ
ed on her husbands farm. The negro, one Of
the blacklist Of his race, had lived on the farm
for nearly two years, and during eighteen
months of that time on intimate terms with
the wife Of his employer.
The negro took her to the house where she
was found, which contained five or six negro
women of the lowest character, and in this
abode of abomination the evidence of her re-
voting guilt first saw the light. She was
thus ruined and disgraced in the eyes of all
mankind, and abandoned herself to life OF
degrading infamy, by remaining in the
company of the negro harlots with whom she
was housed.
The Free Press, from whose accounts we
have made this condensation, goes on to say
that "her husband was expected to have been
overwhelmed by the discovery. Any ordin-
airy man would have been, but Mr.. Arthur
Andrew seems to have been proof to ordinary
inhuences-an uncommon man, elevated above
the petty annoyances of life, and looking at
things in abstract way. He took the woman
to his arms fresh from the embraces OF the
defiling vagabond who had ruined him and
his faQiy, anu, DuG fOF Tie lHulIIsiiit IiiOOliOi
ence of his friends, would have carried her
home again, which, it is said, he intends doing
as soon as he is permitted by the feeling of the
community. The dusky evidence of his con-
nubial felicity viii probably be adopted also,
as remainder of the happy event which
crowned him with the honors''
THE KIND OF MAN.
Andrew is said to be wealthy, in possession
of an ample property at present, and of an
immense amount in prospective, depending on
the conditions of bequest made by relative
in England. He is an Englishman, and like
most Canadian Englishmen, a red hot Abolit-
ionist. He also lives in the midst of red hot
Abolition community, Chatham being famous
as being ruled by negroes, and inhabited by
whites, many of whom have colored propen-
sites. 1t IS at this place that the cars were
invaded about a year ago, AMI. a boy taken
from his master against his own will; also,
that negro, named Shadd, was elected to
some prominent Office shortly after, much to
the delectation of newspapers, which copied
the announcement extensively throughout
the country.
