A FAMILY BROKEN UP.-On Saturday
there lived happy family at No. l,2O7 South
Seventh street, consisting Of Mr.. Hussman,
tobacconist; his wife Barbara, and three child
ren-August, aged eight years; Emma, two,
and Robert, four years. During the evening
Mrs Hussman was suddenly taken sick, and
died during the night. Subsequently the
children were taken i'll, ard by Sunday at noon
the mother and her three children were dead
Mr.. Hussman was also attacked, but is still
alive and will probably recover. These sud
den deaths created considerable excitement in
the neighborbood, and it was first reported
that poison had been the agent in some mys-
terious way, but there was no foundation for
the report Drs. Smith and Fisher attended
the family, and from their testimony and that
of two other physicians who also visited the
house, cholera morbus was the cause of death.
The coroner was notified, but under the circum-
stances no inquest was held.-& Louis Repnb-

ElOpcmtcnt and zsf.amy,

FROM the quincy tl!.' Herald
A young man AIMED Lyman Caldwell, whilst
teaching school at Shclblna, Missouri. wocd and
won the affections of an estimable Young lady
there, named Bell Owens. The strong opposi-
ton urged by the widowed mother of Miss Belle
and her relations TO the match caused an elope-
ment hithewara, where they were privately
married. and the happv couple started southwark,
and after brief visit to Tennessee they returned
TO St Louis, from which place he sent his bride
home to his mother and told her he would make
trip TO Colorado to raise some stamps, when he
would return and commence housekeeping. In
stead OF going westward he came to this State,
and near Bellville he stopped long enough to WOO
and win second lady, named Miss Barche, whom
he also married. She was an old sweetheart it
seeas. The mother of his first wife was on his
trail, however and finally succeeded in capturing
him in st. Louis and he was taken back 10 Bell
vile for trial. He is represented to be about "a
years of age. and, as the ladies term, "a very
nice appearing young man.

been made into al the facts by friends Of the
gentleman implics ted, and by those interested in
the family.
1t now appears that there are grave doubts
whether the story that the wrong was done 10
the young lady while under the influence of
chloroform is not q fabrication, prepared by the
lady after the ex posture that followed her indul-
gence in guilt, to which, she willingly party.
Such, at least, is he assertion made by the young
man and his frier d. He says that the prepare.
ton placed upon his handkerchief was but a
common perfume, and that, previous to using it
in the manner de scribcd, the lady had smell of
it and placed some upon her own handkerchief.
The denial that amy foul means were used is, on
his part, unqualified, and he seeks, in case the
lady and her frie,lds desire it, thorough nvesti-
CATION.

CALIFORNIA WISE.-It i. impossible to over.
estimate the Importance of California as grape
growing country; the wine interests there come
more conspicuously into notice every year. In
that State ! 900 vines are planted upon one acre
Of ground, and in four years yield five hundred
gallons to the acre. Large portions of the State
are especially adapted to wine culture which is
capable Of almost indeinit expansion in Califor-
MIA. The grape crop of 1866 yielded $685. 76S
gallons, and the aggregate value of wine manu-
featured in 1866 was Sj,SsO,0o0 Certainly an
item of some Importance.

Among the visitors at the office of Justice
Quinn, on Saturday morning, were Mr.. William
Norris, Mrs Mary Ann Morris, his wife, and
Miss Anna Randolph. And the occasion of the
visit was a complaint by Mrs. Morris against the

Randolph came to live with them, and the wife

ally transfer his affections and attentions TO that
lady He made no secret of the matter, openly
caressing Miss Randolph before his wife, and,
in fact, giving her authority TO rule his house
1old an authority which she did not hesitate to
exercise. At last the interloper undertook to
compel the injured wife 10 do mental service for
Ter. This was not to be endured. and the wife
determined to leave the house SO, packing up
hcr Jewels and clothing, and taking some 800
belonging TO her, she left the house one day when
the guilty pair was out riding. She proceeded.
with her child, to a room ON North Wells street
which She had previously secured. Here She
lived in peace and quiet, supporting herself and
child by sewing, when, some weeks afterwards,
hhe suddenly encountered her husband upon the
street He desired her at once to return. prorriis-

tered the house than that female pushed her into
