Dem eStic inf;deiity.

We clip the following from the
Cleveland Leader, OF last week
Such incidents are Of frequent oc-
currance. and would be more so. if
the facts were only known.
An exciting domestic drama was
enacted at the Union Depot yester-
day (Thursday) between nine and
Ten o'clock. on the arrival of the
train from Columbus, the circum-
stances that led to which. being
Substantially as follows: Employ
ed in one Of our well known dry
goods houses on Superior street, is
man Of good reputation, before
the world, and who has wife and a
cluster of ''olive branches" around
his hearthstone. To the eyes of the
neighbors the family seemed to be q
happy one, and none dreamed that,
as in most others, there was 4 a"skel-
eton in the house." For some time
the wife has been suspicious-and
not without good reason, we opine,
judging from the denoaement-that
her liege lord was not over scrnpu-
lous in the observance of the mar
riage VOWS. She said nothing. how
ever, although the unweIcome
thoughts of her husbands infdelity
ranElcd in her bosom, and caused
her many keen pang of SORROW
She determined to await her time,
when she should be fully convinced
of the grounds of her suspicious.
BY some means, whereof we know
not, she received some intination
ofa-plan he had arranged for New
Years day. He left home in car
riage, early in the afternoon, telling
his wife that he was called away Oh
business, and would not return I'M
til the following day. 10 her very
natural inquiry regarding the nature
Of his business, such circumstance
being somewhat unusual with him,
he made an eyasive reply.
AS soon as he was out OF sight
she called a carriage and drove to
the depot There, just os she eN-
pected, she found her husband
awaiting the departure of the train.
Closely watching his movements,
careful to remain un2oseryed by
him, she remained until the train
left, without, however, seeing any
woman in his company, or aught
that could infame her suspicious.
She at once determined to be at the
depot on Thursday on the arrival OF
the train. What tile hours which
interveHed were to her, may be inl-
agined, but lies not within the pow
er OF words to describe. ~.
Nearly an hour before the train
was due she reached the depot, and,
in o state of great agitation. paced
the floor, longing for, yet dreading
the moment which should prove to
her the faithfulne5s or iniidelity OF
her husband The train at length ar
rived, and peering anNiously from
car to car, as the throng poured
forth, her eye fell upon the object of
her search. There was he who had

usurped in his heart the place that
herself had held. AS the guilty
pair passed out to take q carriage.
the injured wife confronted them.
The companion Of her husband re-
allied the 'ssitJlation'' at once, and
s'broke" for the door, where she
summoned a carriage and drove
rapidly away. The man. pallid with
fear, and shaking like an aspen,
seemed well nigh bereft Of his sen

tears streaming down her face, his /!
wife upbraided him for his conduct, !
while an eager crowd gathered |
around to note the unwonted scene. |
Hurrying travellers paused to listen,
and a hundred inquiries were made
as to the strange occurrence.
She soon led the way to q car
riage, he following mechanically,
but as they reached the pavement, |
her feelings entirely overcamc her,
and she sank insclsibly to the
