Sad Case ofDpmestlc Intellect,

Sad Case of ID Domestic Ahiehc'sS'
The town of Ashburnham has been some
what agitated for few days by an elopement
which took place on Friday OF last week. Ii
appears that some eight years ago, Ellen NJ
only daughter of Mr.. Samuel Barrett, very
respectable citizen, and for quarter OF a centu-
ry postmaster of that town, nov deceased
married Rev. Mr. Root, Congregational mln-
| lister then settled in Williamsburg, Mass.
They subsequently removed to Springfield,
Ohio, where Mr.. Root is now settled, and
where the present unhappy troubles had their
beginning. Mrs. Root sometime since formed
an attachment for a gentleman of that place.
the husband of devoted wife, the father of
five children, member and one of the pillars
of her husbands church. How long this at
tachmcnt had continued does not appear; but
about three weeks ago the guilty parties Sc
cretly lett Springfield and came to Mas
sachusetts together The woman desir-
ing to see her friends in this county
before she left them forever, came to
Ashburnham, while her companion went to
Fitchburg. Suspicion rested on the parties
there, and accounts came from Ohio that all
was not right On Friday of last week he
hired horse of Tton & Pierce in Leominis-
ter, intending to carry the lady to Fitchburg
and take the cars for the south. Disappointed
as to the time, they drove on to New Hamp
shire, leaving the team at Thorntons Ferry,
and pursued their way farther north. Officer
Wetherbee of Ashburnham, as soon as the
facts became known, started in pursuit. found
the deserted team at Nashua and the fugitives
at Montreal The authorities at Montreal re-
fused to give up the man on the charge of
larceny, the only charge which could be sus-
tanned against him-and the officer was COM
PEELED to return alone. The man who
had given various names, was registered
at Montreal as 81 W. Brochaw." His
age is about forty-one years, and he claims
to be a man of good reputation, of high social
position, and excellent business connections,
all of which he has abandoned in the pursuit
of his infatuation. Mrs Root is about thirty
years of age, complained bitterly of the un
happiness of her marriage relations, and de-
cared her determined purpose to abandon
husband, friends, honor-everyt thing, for the
only person whom she had ever loved. Her
friends in Ashburnham stand very high in the
estimation Of that community, and are deeply
grieved by the infatuation of which she has
become the too willing victim.

CINCINNATI, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY IA, 1860

MIcHILzf's IDEA or BAoByLoR LiyH.--Mloh-
slet, an enthusiast on matrimony, speaks Of
bachelor and club.lifs In his last work.
"Woman" most disparsgingly - forgetting
what tragical pictures oonnubial existence too
often unfolds. Hear what the sentimental
pleader for connubiality says of the wifeless
and careless good fellows in Paris: "Atlast he
becomes so much interested in her that he
begins 10 reflect. "Ah, If were not poor," ,"
said he. "It Is very agreeable to have the
society Of . pretty woman all to yourself, who
understands you, and spares you from the ne
csssity Of dragging out your evenings at the
theater or the cafe. But when one has only,
as have, ten thousand francs, one cannot get
married." .-, 7
He then gets up his budget, putting every
thing down double, comparing the probable
expenses Of the married man with those Of the
bachelor, living at the thester, cafe, &c. In
this way an acquaintance Of mine, one Of the
brightest journalists Of Paris, arrived at the
conclusion, that to live with q wife without a
servant, in little house in the suburbs, he
would need an income Of 10000 francs. This
lamentab]e life, Of honorable solitude, and des-
perate exnu;, is that which is led by those wan
dering shadows, known in England as Mem
bers Of Clubs. It is beginning now in France.
Here In these splendid establishments, warm
and comfortable, with the best fare, surrounded
with rich Libraries and all the newspapers and
magazines of the day, they live together like
we'll educated and polished corpses, progress.
sing in spleen, and preparing themselves for
suicide. Every thing Is so we'll organized
that speech even is unnecessary, and woman's
presence is unknown. -r

parents, living in Knox County, Ind, having
attempted to commit suicide last week, be.

tleman in the neighborhood, who, instead Of
returning the attachment, married another
woman. When the news reached the young
lady, she started for the river, with the inten-
tion Of drowning herself, but was overtaken
and carried back. Later in the day she sue
ceeded in escaping the vigilance Of her rela-
tives for few moments and jumped into q

which she inflicted so serious wound in her
side that at last accounts it was feared the

MONUMENT TO THE OLDER JOHN BROWN
The State Of Massachusetts has aided in the
erection Of monument to John Brown, and
for sixty years the inscription thereon has
stirred the blood of all visitors. The ponu.
ment stands on Lexington Common, and ID
"Sacredsto the Liberty and Rights Of all Man
kind" 1t was erected in 1899, in honor Of
"the first victims Of the sword of British tyr
amy and oppression" John Brown, citizen
of Lexington, was one of those who fell on ''the
morning Of the ever memorable 10th of April
1775." The inscription on the monument
states that "the blood of these martyrs in the
cause of God and their country was the cement
of the Union Of these States, then Colonies. u
The same could not be truly said of the John
Brown of our times.-Boston Transcript.

AMERICAN SAILORS FIGHrINa FOR JOHN BULL.
An interesting article in Blackpood on the
fight at the Peiho, has the following passage:
An American boat visited one of our vessels,
and on wishing to leave her, the officer found
oil his men had got out of the boat. After
some delay, they were found, looking very
hot, smoke -begrimed, and ytfghtish. "Holloa,
sirs," said the officer, with assumed severity,
"don't you know We are neutrals2 What have
you been doing9" "Beg pardon" said the
gallant fellows, looking very bashful, "they
were very short-handed at the bow. gun, sir, and
SO we giv'd them help for fellowship sake;"
they had been hard at it for an hour. Gallant
Americans you and your Admiral did more
that day to blind England and the United
States together than oil your lawyers and pet
tifogging politicians have ever done to part us.

In the town and neighborhood as an active

lately tried for robbery, and while in prison
the authorities conceived some suspicious, and
ascertained her to be female. On being
asked what reason she had for wearing mems
clothes, she said she had observed that men
got their living easier than women; but she
refused to give any information as to her birth
and pareDtage. She was removed to the
female wards, but her repugnanoe to appear in

A PRELATE MEDDLINe WITH PETTIcoATs. The
Cardinal Vicar of Rome has issued an edict
forbidding ladies to 60 to church in crinoline.
The oonfessor is to forbid them to present
themselves at the altar to take the sacrament
unless they are dressed in simple manner.
We think the Vicar has overrated his in
anence hcre, as we doubt if all the thunders
Of the Vatican could induce woman to alter
the fashion Of her garments. We are aware
of no kind Of meddling with petticoats that
would be less apt to prove effectual; and then a
prelate ought to be engaged in some more
holy office,

him nearly to the eyebrows. He was dressed
simply in the ordinary black dress coat and

SPURGKoN's CONVERSION AND REoANTAr1os.
1t is stated on good authority that Mr.. @. H.
Spurgeon made, about three weeks ago, a
formal recantation of the extreme Calvinist
tenets which he had been hitherto preaching.
He said that he and others who had taught as
he had done, had been doubtless griovous
stumbling blocks in the way of many pious
and earnest persons, and that the only amends
which lay in bis power was to state publicly
that he had been in error, and to guarantee
that he would never propagate similar false
doctrines again.
