nice thing Of it in inviting party of his friends
and neighbors to make merry with him on Satur-
day night, at his residence on Clara street. Whilst
everything was passing of pleasantly. he stepped
into another room, and caught his wife in gagranfe
deticta with Mr.. James Plumer, one of his guests
In his horror and excitement at this unexpected
discovery he ran into the street and called for the
police officer Matthews responded and took
Plumer to the Lookup. Yesterday the Wretched
husband, the guilty PIumer and the innocent po-
lieeman, were before Recorder Adams, acting in
place of Recorder Emerson. The case being ex-
planned, the Recorder informed Mr. Clifford that
+ adultery was not a crime coming within his iuris-
diction, and discharged Mr.. PIumer. He took oc-
casion to reprinand the officer for making the ar
rest, for it was clearly shown that Plumer had not
disturbed the peace or done anything to justify his
sudden arrest and arraignment before magis-
trate. Cfford's only means Of legal redress must
, be suit for divorce MIR. Clifford will let his
!; friends know when he gives his next party. And
it will probably be still further off when Mrs c.

fence, and hid himself in the yard Of d neighbor,
there to remain till the ball should break up and
he could steal out unobserved. Whilst thus hiding,
