UNION OF A MAN AND WIFE AFTER SppA
RATION OF ~ YEARs-A man aud wife have
recently been united in Iowa after n separa
tion Of forty-seven years. Mrs. Cru,l recently
applied for bounty land warrant, as a re-
ward for the service of her husband during
the war of 1872. He had enlisted while on a
visit to Philadelphia, and was reported to
have been killed in an engagement near Lake
Champiain. Messrs. Shepard &c Overflow of
burlington, Iowa, her lawyers, ascertained
that Mr.. Crull himself had entered a land
warrahtfor lands in Hancock county Illinois.
and it was eventually shown that he was liv-
ing in Jefferson county, N. Y. The Burling-
ton Hawkeye says:
1t seems that soon after the enlistment of
Mr. Crull, Mrs. Crull finding il difficult TO
support herself and her two small children,
one babe, removed to another part q the
State, and there hearing that her h husband was
killed, made no further efforts to learn of
him and he, after his discharge returned to
the town where he formerly resided, and was
there tod that his wife and children had
moved away, and since died. Believing him
self alone in the world, he left forever his old
residents aad associates, and took up his
abode in Jefferson county, n. Y, where he
has since resided, ever cherishing in FOND re-
membranee his now, to him. forever lost fam

effort, and the marriage of her only daughter,
Mrs. CruiI, in company with her son and SON.

Wappello, Louisa county, Where she has since
resided in the family Of her daughter. A few
days since MIR. Crull arrived in Wappello,
eager to see her whom he had mourned as
dead, and once again behold his children. But

LYNCH LAw.-Jesse Bean, formerly of Nor
ristown, Pa, who has been living for several
years in UcDowell county, Va, recently be-
came a subject for the application of lynch
law in Tazewell on account Of suspicious
that he was in the habit of tamperng with
slaves and inducing them to run away. He
was waited upon, but refused to leave or give
any very satisfactory account of his opinion
on the subject of slavery. A proposition was
made to resort to severity, when his possession
OF a wise discretion was evinced by hasty pre-
parations for departure. The Jefersonville
Advocate says:
Reflection coming to his aid, as he proceed
ed he gradually heightened and Quickened his
steps, the crowd following close after. Mean
time the windows were hoisted, doors Were
thrown open, and men and women, boys and
girls began to line the streets, and whether
from the ominous silence of his pursuers, or
from the promptings of a few guilty reflec-
tions, our hero, who was running yeritable
guanflet, began to get the better of his coat
tail, which, in order to keep company with
him, had to take the wind kite fashion. In
truth, we We're told it ''stuck straight out be-
hind him. Not disposed to abandon the
chase so easily, he was soon oyerhauled and
brought to second parley, whereupon he
agreed TO leave the county forthwith, never to
return.
