etc. --
We have to chronicle another one OF
those cases of domestic infelicity of too
common frequency in our cities. In this
instance the parties are all in good circum-
stances, and move in respectable circles.
c. A. is a gentleman we'll known in this
city, and man of good property and fine
Personal Appearance, residing in the
Southern part of tbe city. Some years ago
he married most beautiful and fascina-
ting young lady, Of cultivation and refine
ment, who yet retains her personal charms
and mental yiyacity, with a strong predi-
lection. as We have heard, for :the sterner
sex. For a time their married life passed
smoothly on bnt from some cause the
silken bonds became iron letters; the green
eyed monster, with what cause We shall
not pretend 20 say, crepl into the dwelling
and the home paridise was turned into a
domestic pandemOnium. Matters grew
worse and worse, and finally reached a
crisis; the beautiful wife was openly accused
of infdelity. All the furies were at once
aroused. The husband has, at the instance
Of the wife, been several times arrested

just after night physician of good per.
sonal appearance, fine address, and well
known in the city, whom NE shall call J.
l.. s. as we learn the facts, hired hack on
Church street and drove TO the residence
Of Mr.. A. Before reaching the house he got
out and sent the hack on. The fascinating
wife, arrayed in fine costume, entered the
hack which drove back and the Doctor also
entered. They had arranged to go to the
Summer Street Theater to see the White
Crook. Just before reaching the theater
the Doctor got ont of the hack, which was
driven forward. Mrs. A. entered the the
alter and took her reserved seat, very
queen in the array of beauty present.
Immediately afterward the Doctor entered.
Meanwhile the husband had also procured
hack, and, burning with rage and ieal
ousy, had followed them. He entered the
theater Immediately after the Doctor.
Approaching him, the Doctor was asked to
step ont. This he did. On reaching the
ticket Office an alteration immediately
ensued. Mr.. A., enraged beyond the power
Of control, fell upon the Doctor with a
heavy silver-headed cane, and gave him a
terrible beating. No fewer than eight or
nine blows were laid on without stint, sew
eral of them hitting on the head. The
Doctor, who as we learn had formerly
been surgeon in the United States army,
was severely hurt, his head and face being
banged up and bruised badly. His wounds
bled very prefusely, and he was left in
sad plight. The Doctor is also married
man. Mrs A. remained in the theater for
some time, when she went out and was
joined by her husband, and the two went
off together.
A. was afterwards arrested, and gave
bond for his appearance in the Police
Court this morning.
