Etc.
From the Nashvill0Union, Dec. IA.
We have to chronicle another one of
those cases of domestic infelicity of too
common frequence in our cities. In this
instance the parties are all in good cir
cumstances, and move in respectable
circles. CA. is q gentleman wellknown
in this city, and man ofgood property
and fine personal appearance, residing
in the Southern part of the city. Some
years ago he married most beautiful
and fascinating young lady, of c1ltiva-
ton and refinement, who yet retains her
personal charms and mental vivaCity,
with strong prediction, as we have
heard, for the steruer sex. For time
their married life passed smoothly on;
but from some cause the silken bonds
became iron fetters; the green eyed mon
ster, with what cause we shall not pre-
tend to say, crept into the dwelling and
the home paradise was turned into a
domestic pandemonium. Matters grew
worse and worse, and finally reached
crisis; the beautiful wife was openly
accused of intidelity. All the furies
were at once aroused. The husband has,
at the instance of the wife, been sever
al times arrested lately on the charge OF
"disorderly," etc; he always giving bond
and appearing promptly and deporting
himself as gentleman in court. Quiet
in demeanor, he was watching the OPP
portunity to avenge his honor. 1t pre-
sented itself on last night. Just after
night q physician of good personal
appearance, fine address, and well
known in the city, whom we shall call
J. l.. S. as we learn the facts, hired a
hack on Church street, and drove to the
residence ofMr. A. Before reaching the
house he got out and sent the hack on.
The fascinating wife, arayed in fine cos
tune, entered the hack, which drove
back, and the docter also entered. They
had arranged to go to the Summer The
atre, to see the White Crook. Just
before reaching the theatre the doctor
got ont of the hack, which was driven
forward. Mrs. A. entered the theatre,
and took her reserved seat, a very queen
in the array of beauty present. Imme-
diately afterwards the Doctor entered.
Meanwhile the husband had also pro-
cured hack, and, burning with rsge
and jealousy, had followed them. He
entered the theatre Immediately afte, the
Doctor. Approaching him, the Dctor
was asked to step out. This he DID. On
reaching the ticket Office an allegation
Immediately ensded. Mr.. A. nraged
beyond the power of control, fel upon
the Doctor with heavy silve-headed
cane, and gave him a terrible beating.
No fewer than eight or nine bows were
laid on without stint, seyerl of them
hitting him on the head. 1e Doctor,
who as we learn had formCly been a
surgeon in the United State army. was
severely hurt, his head ani face being
banged up and bruised badly. His
wounds bled very profsely, and he
was left in sad plight The Doctor
is also a married man. lrs. A. remain
ed in the theatre for soIe time, when
she went out and was jened by her hus-
band, and the two wen off together. i
A. was afterward arrested, and gave
bond for his appearance in the POLICE
Court this morning.

with pretty women 3 see the Crook, haS
