CHASE AFTER WIFE UNDER DIFFICULT
TIEs.-A young merchant and his bride with
their father-in-law, started from this city on
for Boston, where they arrived in due time
Wednesday morning the arrangement was
made for the bride to take train and visit a
sister who resided some fifteen miles out, and
return the next day, while the gentlemen were
making their purchases of dry goods. Thurs
day it stOrmed and the train for Boston, in
which was the wife, got showed up at New
ton, and there remained till the road was
cleared. The lady having some money, (all
brides have little) went to hotel. Friday
the father returned home, and on Saturday the
bridegroom started for 49,, after his wife
and was informed by the sister that she had
gone to Boston, In the mean time the wife
had continued her journey and went to the
Parker House for her husband, and was told
that he had gone home, las they supposedly on
which she took the afternoon train for Port
land and to her great amazement her husband
wasn't there. He had returned to Newton and
after many anxious enquiries found that lady
answering the description and name of his
wife had left the hotel but a few hours before
SO he proceeded thither, drove rapidly to the
house, and enquired for Mrs. --. To his
utter establishment he found she had gone
home. This was Saturday afternoon and he
had to wait till the Monday morning train
which brought him down safe and sound, his
good nature somewhat shaken, and vowine
that though this was not the first time he had
chased after her, it would be the last. p. p.

TIE STREET CARs.-The ice upon the
tracks Of the city railroad was cleared
away yesterday by laborers with picks and
spades, and the cars were set in motion
once more. The matter of snow upon a
track, and the difficulty OF moving the
cars upon it is somewhat new to this city,
and the managers were not so well pre-
pared to meet the exigency as they will be
after little experience. In the northern
cities when the snow is falling the cars are
kept in motion TO prevent accumulatons o
snow, and as an additional precaution the
rails are sprinklCd with coarse salt to
keep the snow from adhering.
The Richmond city cars have not thus
far received a liberal support. Some say
it is the price Of ten cents; others say 1t is
because the line is only partly constructed
There is no doubt that when the road is
completed to the terminus on Broad street
considerable addition will be made to its
number OF passengers. Whether ten cents
be too much or not, the company will soon
be able to say. Cheap fares are the best
guarantee Of full trains. 1t is for the COM
pany to say how low they can safely reduce
their charges. The railroad is great pub.
lie convenience, and it is to be hoped will
be so managed as to afford the greatest
benefit TO the people, and at the same time
the largest profit to the company. 1t they
can ascertain the Just middle ground that
effects these objects, they and the city will
be alike fortunate.

THE MEMORIAL BAZAAR.-On the 4th
Of February, according to the notice which
has been for some days published in the
Dispatch, the ladies Of the Hollywood
Memorial Association will open their Ba-
zaar for the benefit of the noble cause they
sustain. They solicit contributions to the
different departments Of their fair. Any
thing, however inconsiderable, or however
valuable, .(the latter preferred,) will be
most thankfully received. They want any
sort of manufactures, fanciful or useful
and contributions are desired for the re-
freshment table. The ladies have also a
"children's table," and for that our dear
young friends may do just as much as they
please. 1t viii be sweet reflection OF
their mature age that in childhood they
contributed something to keep in decent
order the graves of the brave men who fell
fighting for the South, or died from disease
contracted in the field. The ladies of the
association have exerted themselves in the
cause with untiring devotion. 1t is one OF
the most beautiful examples Of our coun-
try, the exertions Of these ladies to pro-
tect the places Of burial and make deco
rous and green the graves Of the Confede-
rate dead. Donbly dear and impressive
does it make the old Latin motto: Dulct
et pro patria mori." Sweet, indeed, is II
to die for such country for country
where heroism and loyalty are so appre-
ciated.

AN UNRoMANTIC ELoPEMEET.-lt has
been long time since We have been able
to embellish our local columns with first
class item Of romance, and vigilantly has
our d" local" looked for anything that could
be so worked up. On yesterday he got
wind Of an affair, which he eagerly ferreted
out, in the brave hope that column OF IN
tercsting matter would be the result. But
he was disappointed, for there was so little
of love about the affair that it was almost
divested of its interest; on the contrary,
it was an absence Of love that occasioncd
il. 1t appears that one George W. Shep-
pard and his wife, Sarah i. Sheppard, were
ioined in holy bonds Of mstriInony-itm mat
tiers not how long ago-and though they
uned each other passing well, it has since
been shown that it were better for both
had they trod different paths in life. The
husband, it is true, did nothing that a
wife could complain Of, bat Sarah not
being oyer-burdened with love for her
spouse, needed something more than the
cold offices of afiectionate regard to re-
mind her of her duty towards him. In the
mean time, one Jesse Newton, appeared
to make her still more forgetiul OF her
Office as wife, and ere long her husband
saw sufficient cause wherelor to reprimand
and warn his better-half. This she could
not and would not stand; SO early next
morning she left her husbands roof with
Jesse Newton; not so much that she loved
the latter as that she did not love the for
mer. The conclusion Of the affair was
that the wronged husband got out a war
rant for Newton, which was placed IN the
hands of Special Constable Pollard. He
found the erring wife at Q house IN the
county but her ternptcf had fled. The
constable was soon, however, on his tracks,
and we expect ere this he Is in the hands
of Justice.

world. If you are fond of a well-told tale
of "Moving Accidents" read "The

and if any have been concerned for the

clothing from Lewis Barnes, was sent on.
Henry Robinson, negro boy, was ar
raigncd to answer the charge Of stealing u
chest of cooper's tools from Henry Noite.
From the evidence of Mr. Nolte'S brother,

offer the tools for sale, and upon rcc6S-
nizing them as his brothers property, he
arrested the boy. Henry confessed TO the
robbery, but said that he had stolen the
tools at the instance of Gabriel Pettus and
John SUIT, negroes, who gave them to him
in small parcels to sell. Robinson was
sent on.
Gabriel Pettus and John Suit were ar
raigned to answer the charge Of being the
instigators to the robbery, and taking pos
session of the tools after stolen, and the
evidence proving their guilt very con-
clusively, they were sent on for further
examination for grand larceny.
Charles Hottncr, white boy, charged
with assaulting negro girl ON the street,
was committed in default OF surety.
John Harris, negro, charged with threat
