Scandal Case in Gnlenn.

The people of Galena have been much exct
ed duriug the last ten days, by the discovered
frailty of one OF their preachers. The gentle
man referred to has not been long 10 the city,
but has improved bis time, and few weeks
ago was married to q daughter Of one of the
most highly respected men in the place, she
being his fourth wife. A few days ago the wife
suspected collusion-to use no harsher phrase
between her husband and her servant girl
To confirm her suspicious, she resorted to O
little expedisnt of making a visit to some
friends in the country, with the intention, az
her husband supposed, of remaining several
days. Bnt, unfortunately for him, she sud
denly returned the first night, and vent straight
to the servant girls room and asked TO be
admitted. The girl refused, and answered that
she could not possibly et her in just then, aud
declined to give the reasons why she could lot.
The wife told her never 10 MUD then, but 10
90 down stairs as soon as she could and make
her some tes. She then left The door and con-
cealed herself where she could see who passed
from ihe room. Before long, the door opened
and the husba I'd carefully stepped out and soft
iy made his way down stairs In his stocking feet,
soon followed by the guilty servant. The wife
immediately left the house, went home aud n
formed her parents of all that had occurred.
The next morning the preacher appeared at
the gate, when the father, who was terribly
angered, sezsd a revolver and told him If he
came inside the yard ball would be sent
through him. In vain he attempted TO parley,
In vain he pleaded TO see his wife-neither
father or wife would consent TO talk to him

packed his trunk, and lefG on the first train for

been unknown.

Mr.. Donuelly, in his very in,eres ting

tics for the year 1868, just issued, gives
US some important Information relative to
emigration from this country-a subject
just now exciting very general attention,

turns he supplies, however, only give the
details Of the first seven months in the
last two years, 1862 and 1868; but even
during the short period we find that in
the present year (seven months) no less
than S0,5O6 persons left the country, be-
ing an increase of 34,607 on the year
1862. The entire number of em;grants
from this country since the commence

is given as l37S,333 persons. The
