A striking instance Of mans inhumanity

A striking instance of mans inhumanity
to woman has lately been exemplified at
Rochester. Some years ago young couple
were joined in wedlock at Buffalo, the pa
rents of the bride giving her thirty thou
sand dollars as q marriage portion. While
wife good deal of attention. but manifested
no desire for work. Finally, the fund got
low, and his affection seemed to dwindle
away With it. About ten days ago he started
from Buffalo to live with another woman,
leaving the wife in destitute circumstances.
She followed him in few days, but finding
that he had really taken up his quarters as
stated, she applied to the local authorities
night mail.
