A satisfactory ElOpement.
From the Albany Argus, July IL

Last evening an exciting domestic
fare-up was witnessed ut the steamboat
landing Late in the day Chief john
son received telegram from Auburn
requesting him to cause the arrest of a
man and woman who were said to be on
their way TO New York. On the after
noon train from the west there arrived
a woman who represented herself to be
the wife of the man telegraphed for.
Towards o'clock one or two policemen
visited the boat, accompanied by the
injured wife, and after n short search
they found the man and his paramour
in one of the state rooms. They had
with them a boy about eight years old,
q parrot aud robin. The mans name
is given as George Peck, alias George
Roe, and it is said that he is the keeper
OF the Cayuga Lake House, about twelve
miles from Auburn. The parties were
taken to the second district station
house, where, after mutual elimination
and recrimination, an understanding
was arrived at and division of proper
ty was agreed upon. 1t appears that
Peck. or Roe, eftbehind HIM some So
600 worth of property, which he made
over to his deserted wife. He had with
him 1915, and of this he gave S75 to his
wife, and she, taking the boy, SAC
knowledged satisfaction, /" and told him
he could do what he pleased with his
'sbaggage. He reserved to himself the
parrot, the robin, and the paramount.
The wife took the first train for the
west, and they proceeded to New York.
Tits said that the girl had been a do
.fnestic' In, their house. EARLY in 1864 he
took her, to England remaining away
some six months. The girl has a hus-
band, But when The draft was most
threatening, he ran away to Canada,
and. she says, she has lost all confidence
in him., and sought another affinity
The scene did not seem to disturb them
much, and The conclusion appeared to
be satisfactorily to all concerned. i oaf

HAuvEr SIcKLEn, ESQ.,, the able editor OF the
Tunkhannock lPa.] Democrat, publishes the fol-
lowing in his issue Of 3oth October, 1861:
ave deem it due to Messrs. J. G. Aver & Co.,
and the public, to make known our experience
with the use of their Ext. Sarsaparilla in our fam
lily, by stating the circumstances under which it
was taken and its effects.
When our only child, now in his third year,
was about eight months old q sore appeared first
in small pmplcs on his forehead over his nose. =
These rapidly increased and uniting formed
loathsome, virulcnt sore, which finally spread
over his forehead and face, not even excepting
his eyelids. which became swollen that his eyes
were closed. We called a skilrul physician, who
administered the usually prescribed remedies. A
solution of nitrate of silver was applied until the
mass of corruption which covered his entire face
turned jet black. The sore again and again burst
,hro' the scorched and artificial skin formed by
this solution. Meanwhile many remedies were
employed without any apparent benefit. For ff-
teen days and nights he was constantly held by
his parents to keep him from tearing open with
his hands the corrupt mass which covered his face.
Everything having failed. we were induced by
the high recommendations of Ayers Sarsapirilla
for the cure of Scrolulous disease, to give it
trial. In his treatise on Scrofula, DR.. Aver di-
rects mild solution Of Iodidc of Potash to be
used us u wash while taking the Sarsaparila and
it was faithfully applied.
Before one bottle of Sarsap,rlla had been Civ
en- the sore had lost much Of its virulence and
commenced to heal. Another bottle effected an
entire cure, and the general prediction that the
child must die was con,radicted. His eyeashes
which came out grew again, and his face is left
without scar, as smooth rs anybody's. 1t is un-
necessary for ime to state in how high esteem we
hold Ayers Sarsaparila.
