HEARTLEss DEsERTIoN OF A WlFR.-The
Sacramento (Cal) Bee, of Dec 23d, gives the
| following account of a man who absconded
| with his wites sister:
! A man named Ii. IL. Foster who formerly
did business AS wheelwrigh., on the corner of
| h and Ninth streets, in this city, left on the
| last steamer with his wites sister. 1tappears
from " hat are told, that he has not lived
| with his wife for more than year or eighteen
| months and prior To- that time they did not live
| harmOnlOusly, as his wife suspected and ac-
| cused him OF being on too intimate terms with
| her sister. About year ago he gave up bus
| mess here and tried his hand al farming, In
| the vicinity of Puia Greek, and his si. r-in-
| law, whom he has now taken w tn him, went TO
| reside with and keep house for him, while his
wife and chiid-a little girl now about three
years Otd-remalned in town. Becoming
| tired of ranching, he disposed of his property,
land, wagons, animals, etc, and came into
| town lately, went to his wife, told her that he
| loved her much, was going 10 live with her
again, and would forever cherish her. that he
| had about S 400, with which he was going to
| build house, ENTER in to business again, and the
| two would be- happy AS in days OF yore. She,
OF course, believed him, and was exceedingly
| rejoiced 10 hear these acceptable words from
| his own lips. On Saturday iast We believe it
| was, he proposed to take Il short trip 10 San
| Francisco TO see some old friends there and
| ha We d little recrea1ion-a kind Of second ho-
| neym0on She gladly consented-Was more
| than happy in her new liie-and OFT they
| went, taking little Sis along They fingered
about there for day or TWO, passing the time
| happily together, and on Tuesday morning
| last Foster said he had an appoln tment with
a man on business, and went out early. He
| returned in the course of an hour, however,
and said to his wife that ne had not been able
| TO see him. but would find him between nine
| and ten O'Clock, and suggested that after that
| time they should take stroll around town.
| He gave her $50 piece, saying that it would
| serve her to purchase little articles that she
| might see and fancy in their walk. She told
HIM thai she did not want it, but he insisted
on her keeping it, and she did. He then said
that she might as Well dress the little girl, and
he would take her with lin, as he had only a
short distance to CO. and would soon return to
| escort his wife around town. He s tarted with
| the child. and that is the last his wife has
seen of him or her child. She soon discovered
that he had left on the steamer of that day for
| Panama, that he took her child with him, and
| that her own sister was ON board. She found
| q letter from him addressed TO her, in which
| he stated that she would never see him again,
and hoping that she might be happy, while he
had no doubt he would be miserable.
TRAGIC AFFAIR.-The following tragic in
cident took place IN Eaton county, Mich. on
| the 7th of January:
| A young man residing near Oivet, by the
name OF Orville Wood, had been paying his
addresses 10 a Miss Mack, whose family reside
| near the village of Marshall; and they were
| engaged, the marriage TO take place soon.-
| The young man, with his intended, went to a
| party, where he INDUCED freely in liquor
| rs to raise objections ON the part OF the young
| Iady's parents to the contemplated union She
| informed her affianced that she had rather die
| than disobey her parents, and preferred death
| to living without him; and on Friday, the 9th,
| they mutually agreed that the next Saturday
| evening they would meet at his brother in
| laws, and on Sunday evening terminate
| their lives at one and the same time by fire.
| arms The same day he returned to Marshall
| and purchased two pistols, which he loaded,
| each with bali and seven buckshot.
| AT the appointed time for their meeting,
| Saturday evening he was AT his brother-in :
| laws, and soon after the young lady, accom-
panied by her sister, drove up. Wood saw his
intended leap from the cutter and approach
| the house. when he stepped into the parlor,
placed the muZZle To his head and fired, drop
| ping lifeless at her feet as she came in. With
| out moments delay, she stepped out of doors,
passed round the corner of the house, took a
pistol from her pocket, and was raising it to
| her head, when her sister, who had per-
ceived that something was wrong, rushed for
| ward and caught the weapon from her grasp
| On examining 1t, ii was found loaded with
| ball and shot, before stated. 1t seems that
| q misapprehension existed between the lovers
| as TO the time when the tragedy was to take
| pIace-she understanding him to name Sum
| day, instead Of Saturday evening; but when
| she saw that he had anticipated her, she was,
as her action proved, ready for the sacrifice
| SUSPICIOUS ROAD MARKs.-We find the fol-
| lowing paragraph in the Montgomery Gala. }
| Mail of Thursday last 1t is thought by some
| of the Southern Journals that some of Browns
| emissaries. or others Of that stripe have been
| through that section:
| A gentleman whose character is entirely be-
! yond doubt, and who vouches himself for the
| fact stated informs us that in Coffee and the
! adjoining counties within the past fe W weeks
