An "ENoCH ARDEN CASE" IN RICHMOND.
Richmond is not to be outdone in the way
of sensations. She, too, has her Enoch
Arden case that is, in the common accep-
tation of the phrase. Enoch, in this in
stance, was a young man named Franklin,
who in 1866, when "this cruel war" was
raging, got him to Southside Virginia and
took unto himself wife, whom he found on
the banks of the sluggish stream called
AppomattoX river. After three months of
delightful honeymoon Franklin's country
called him, and he obeyed the call by ac-
cepting commission as c0mmissary, or
quartermaster, or something of the sort, and
rushed to the CORY battlefield, followed by
the prayers Of the "girl he left behind
him" She watched eagerly for his return,
but "he came not, oh ! he came not" and
worse still, he had ceased to write to his
beloved, when one day just after the evec-
uation of Richmond the news came of his
death. The story ran that he was killed
outright on the battlefield; comrades had
given him a decent burial beneath the
shade of noble oak, and now he was
mourned as another martyr of the " Lost
Cause" -" &. ''.
Well, the widow donned her weeds and
wore them all through 1865, 1866, 1867,
and way into the summer of 1868; but at
last, only three months ago, her heart sur
rendered at the command of one Mr.. Roche,
another citizen of Richmond, but not many
years over from the Emerald Isle. They
were married, and were enjoying their
honeymoon, when suddenly, week before
last, came the tidings that the late Franklin
was still in the " land of the living" The
announcement came from legal gentle
man, and was accompanied by an intima-
ton that the late Franklin was so incensed
with his widow that he had not only in
stituted suit against her for his " courtesy"
in certain land, and for the recovery Of
some property. inherited by her from her
father, but was actually considering the
propriety Of prosecuting her for bigamy.
And here the matter rests at the present
writing. Mrs. Franklin Roche (for We will
not offend either of the gentlemen by in
sinuating that she belongs to the other) is
of course much distressed, for, in the Ian
guage of the homely couplet,
/" The course of true love has come TO hitch; ;
She cannot have JoM-and she cannot tell
Uhtch." .-.r....
The affair is in the hands Of the lawyers,
however, and it is hoped that compro-
mise satisfactory to all the interested par
ties will be effected. H tr.'
