MR.. AND MRs SUMMER.

The some-time-ago report that Mrs.
Sumner was to come to Washington to
preside in her husbands establishment
has failed of verification, and thelHome
Journal of this week has the following,
indicating that there is 10 likelihood
that such will ever be the case.
"We have good Authority for stating
the differences between Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Summer, which have caused SO
much unpleasant gossip and skandal,
have been finally settledby permanent
separation with the mutual consent
and desire of both parties and their
best friends. The direct cause of this
separation is simply the certainty
discovered only too late that there exists
between the parties are incompatibility
of temperament and opinion upon GER
tain social questions, which precludes
the possibility of their living happily to
gether as man and wife.

The South Carolina Spartan says At
an inquest held about five miles south
of Spartinburg j. M. Elford, acting
coroner after an examination, careful
ly made of certain bones found buried
in about seventy-fve yards of the house
occupied by one Mack Goodwin. in a
gully, the jury, from the evidence of q
skilful physician who carefully and
infinitely examined all parts that could
be found, and from the evidence of the
neighbors around, decided that they
were human bones;and the bones of a
woman ; that they were buried from
one and half to Ave years, and that
they haG every reason to believe that
one Mack Goodwin was knowing to
the whole affair, and that he should be
at once arrested, that the whole matter
might be fully adjudicated in the Court
of General Sessions ofour district.
The said Goodwin is now confined
in our Jail, to await his trial for murder.
The circumstances which. led to the
suspicion and arrest of the said Good
wyn were as follows: During the war
about five years ago, Goodwyns wife
disappeared very mysteriously, he say
ing she had taken the cars and gone to
Georgia, which statement was dscred-
tied by his neighbors, and notwith-
standing the efforts of some individu-
ais to learn her whereabouts, she has
never been heard from. Immediate-
ly after the disappearance of his wiz,
he took to his house an amour, with
whom he has since been living.
