FOURTEENTH STREET IN FLurTER-The vi.
"inity of Fourteenth and streets was thrown
into considerable excitement on Monday last,
caused by an officeholder, residing in that sec.
ton Of the city, making the discovery that his
wife had not been faithful to him, but, instead,
had transferred her affections TO an attractive
looking grocery. clerk, who was employed in q
store contiguous to the domicile of the injured
husband. Upon making the discovery, the
husband, after administering q sound rebuke
to his wife for her faithlessness, started
off in search of the offending clerk but the
young man getting wind Of the discovery, and
not wishing to confront his accuser, suddenly
left for parts unknown. The husband returned
to his unhappy home to brood over his misfor-
tunes, when some of his friends who had heard
Of the affair came to him, and advised him not
} to say anything more about it, as no possible
good could be done thereby. This he finally
agreed to do, and, further, to allay oil suspi.
cion, the grocery-clerk was sent for, and invited
q to dance at the house of the man he had SO
deeply injured, which came off on Wednesday
e evening. But the precaution was taken toe
late, the circumstances of the affair having al
: ready become widely known.
